The propagation of surface plasmon polaritons on metallic waveguides adjacent to a gain medium is considered. It is shown that the presence of the gain medium can compensate for the absorption losses in the metal. The conditions for existence of a su...

Form birefringent retardation plates in GaAs substrates: Design, fabrication, and characterization (2003)
Conference Proceeding
Nezhad, M., Tsai, C., Pang, L., Nakagawa, W., Klemens, G., & Fainman, Y. (2003). Form birefringent retardation plates in GaAs substrates: Design, fabrication, and characterization. In Proceedings, Nano- and Micro-Optics for Information Systems (69-77). https://doi.org/10.1117/12.506672

We discuss various practical points in the design, fabrication and characterization of form birefringent retardation plates in GaAs. The role of the substrate in the device performance is presented, together with the importance of using anti-reflecti...

In Summaries of Papers Presented at the Lasers and Electro-Optics. CLEO '02. Technical Digest (118-119). https://doi.org/10.1109/CLEO.2002.1034006

Summary form only given. We describe a method for rigorously computing the mode characteristics of a periodic nanostructure, and its application to the accurate design of composite optical materials and novel optical devices. In a form-birefringent n... Read More about Eigenmode analysis of optical propagation in large-scale subwavelength periodic nanostructures.
