Starting with 5 founding members in 2003, of which Sagem was one, EPIC has grown to 80 members throughout Europe today. We are widely recognised as a strong contributing force to building photonics businesses in Europe with commercial presence around the world. The impact of EPIC comes from the concerted action of its members in focus areas designated by the membership and implemented by your Secretary General and the governing Board. The administration of EPIC has built a strong foundation for our activities as a consortium. The financial results of 2008 were posi- tive with a healthy increase in our strategic reserves. The budget for 2009 is balanced, and there will be no increase in annual membership fees, maintaining a 5-year tradition. Your Board of Governors has re-elected me to a second term as President, and I Jean-François Coutris, am pleased and honoured to accept this responsibility.

We illustrate a sophisticated fabrication process that can create high-quality pedestal structures in crystalline silicon, while preserving its mid-IR transparency. A fundamental waveguide mode is observed between λ 2.5 μm and λ 3.7 μm, and an optical loss of 2.7 dB∕cm is obtained at λ 3.7 μm.

Of Chemistry) Shivpati Postgraduate College, Shohratgarh, Siddharth Nagar Affiliated to Siddharth University , Kapilvastu, Siddharth Nagar , U.P. (INDIA) Corresponding Author: Vinod kumar Singh Abstract: Group III-nitride semiconductor materials especially AlGaN are key-emerging candidates for the advancement of ultraviolet (UV) photonic devices. Numerous nanophotonics approaches using nanostructures (e.g., nanowires, nanorods, and quantum dots/disks) and nanofabrication (e.g., substrate patterning, photonic crystals, nanogratings, and surface-plasmons) have been demonstrated to address the material growth challenges and to enhance the device efficiencies of photonic devices operating at UV wavelengths. Here, we review the progress of nanophotonics implementations using nanostructured interfaces and nanofabrication approaches for the group III-nitride semiconductors to realize efficient UV-based photonic devices. The existing challenges of nanophotonics applications are presented. This review aims to provide analysis of state-of-the-art nanophotonic approaches in advancing the UV-photonic devices based on group III-nitride semiconductors. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Date of Submission:

  • Semiconductor Microspheres in Optoelectronics
    Semiconductor Microspheres in Optoelectronics Ali Serpengüzel∗, Yigit Ozan Yilmaz, Abdullah Demir, Onur Akatlar, and Adnan Kurt Koç University, Microphotonics Research Laboratory, Physics Department, Rumeli Feneri Yolu, Sariyer, Istanbul 34450 Turkey ABSTRACT Semiconductor microspheres coupled to optical fibers are used for optical channel dropping in the IR communication wavelenghts of 800 to 1500 nm. The observed morphology dependent resonances have quality factors of 100000. The measured quality factors are limited by the sensitivity of the experimental setup. These optical resonances provide the necessary narrow linewidths, that are needed for high resolution optical communication applications. In addition to optical communication, detection, and switching applications of this optoelectronic system is studied experimentally and theoretically. The microsphere, optical fiber system shows promise as a building block for optoelectronic integration. Keywords: Channel dropping filter, microsphere resonator, morphology-dependent resonance, whispering gallery mode. 1. INTRODUCTION Microspheres are uniquely applicable to compact optoelectronic devices for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) [1]. In optical communication, WDM is important for increasing the bandwidth of the current fiber optic networks. In WDM, the final optical to electronic conversion needs an all-optical packet- switching layer, which consists of all-optical gates, interferometers, semiconductor optical amplifiers, resonant cavity enhanced photodetectors, optical random access memory elements, and channel dropping filters. In these planar lightwave circuits, dielectric µ-spheres with their MDR’s, can be used as compact channel dropping filters. In such filters, a microsphere coupled to two optical fibers constitutes an add-drop filter. Optical signals are introduced through one of the optical fibers leading into the filter (add port). Signals at the resonant wavelengths of the filter are transferred to the other optical fiber (drop port) at the other side of the filter.
