Tuning the optical properties of planar photonic crystals by liquid crystal infiltration

Romuald Houdré, Rolando Ferrini, Libero Zuppiroli, Liza Carol Andrea Dunbar, Barbara Wild

Recently there has been a growing amount of attention devoted to tuneable photonic crystals (PhCs) where the optical response of PhC structures can be dynamically modified. We will show how infiltrating planar PhCs with a synthetic organic material allows ...

Disorder-induced losses in planar photonic crystals

Romuald Houdré, Rolando Ferrini, Henri Benisty, David Leuenberger

The phenomenological approach introduced by Benisty et al. [Appl. Phys. Lett. 76, 532 (2000)] to model out-of-plane radiation losses in planar photonic crystals with a low vertical refractive index contrast is extended to the case of in-plane disorder. The ...

Submicrometer Organic Thin-Film Transistors: Technology Assessment Through Noise Margin Analysis of Inverters

Christian Enz, Jean-Michel Sallese, Rolando Ferrini, Frédéric Zanella, Nenad Marjanovic

In this paper, we propose a methodology to evaluate the potential of submicrometer organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) with nanoimprinted gate and self-aligned source and drain contacts. In the first step, the dedicated static model we previously reporte ...

Feature size effects in chemically assisted ion beam etching of InP-based photonic crystals

Romuald Houdré, Rolando Ferrini

This work addresses feature size effects (the lag-effect and roughness development) in chemically assisted ion beam etching (CAIBE) etching of InP-based photonic crystals. Photonic crystal fields with varying hole size and periods were etched with differen ...
