Topological photonics, inspired by topological insulators in condensed matter physics, is an emerging field in photonics not only in academic point of view but also for real device applications, as topological edge states are immune to backscattering from structural imperfections. In this study, we designed and fabricated one-dimensional photonic crystal nanocavity dimer arrays based on the Su-Sch...Show More
Summary form only given. Utilizing colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) as a gain material in a passive two-dimensional photonic crystal (PC) backbone structure, we have experimentally demonstrated room-temperature lasing operation at band-edge modes. A silicon nitride PC slab on silica substrate contains a square lattice array of air-holes, which is designed to have an in-plane, M-point low index band-e...Show More
A fully biocompatible and tunable plasmonic resonator consisting of silk protein and gold nanostructure is demonstrated. The silk plasmonic absorber sensor is based on the metal-insulator-metal resonator exhibits stimuli responsive optical properties.Show More
