INTEGRATED PHOTONIC DEVICES BASED ON WAVEGUIDES PATTERNED WITH OPTICAL ANTENNA ARRAYS

摘要

Integrated photonic devices including an optical waveguide patterned with an array of antennas are provided. The small footprint, lightweight, and broadband integrated photonic devices provided can be configured into waveguide mode converters, polarization rotators, perfect absorbers, photodetectors, optical power diodes, nonlinear optical elements, heat-assisted magnetic recorders, optical isolators, and optical circulators.
