Mechanophotonics for Organic Photonic Integrated Circuits (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Mechanophotonics emerges as a cutting-edge interdisciplinary research discipline, seamlessly intertwining mechanical micromanipulation with the nanophotonics of molecular optical microcrystals. This novel field establishes a framework for designing and microfabricating molecular flexible crystals into photonic components, which are subsequently integrated into monolithic or hybrid photonic circuits through the precise atomic force microscopy manipulation technique. Photonic components encompass a diverse range, including waveguides, resonators, splitters, filters, and interferometers. The initial chapters of the book serve as a foundational resource, covering essential aspects such as the physics and chemistry of organic materials, non-linear optics, mechanical properties of molecular crystals, properties of various photonic components, and photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Geared towards chemists, physicists, and materials scientists and engineers with an interest in nanophotonics, these chapters provide fundamental knowledge. The third chapter delves into the intricate details of micro mechanical manipulation operations employed in Mechanophotonics, illustrated with selected examples. Moving forward, the fourth chapter highlights recent strides in the realm of organic crystal-based PICs components, showcasing prototype PICs constructed using flexible organic crystals. The final chapter introduces the innovative concept of crystal photonics foundry, where crystals undergo precision milling into diverse photonic components using a focused ion beam. This chapter also explores the integration of these fabricated crystal components into circuits, paving the way for exciting advancements in the field.
