abstract = {New and novel sensing schemes require optical functions with unconventional spatial light distributions, as well as complex spectral functionality. Micro-optical elements have shown some flexibility in their ability to spatially encode phase information using surface relief dielectrics. In this paper, we present a novel optical component that exploits the properties of optically resonant structures to make an azimuthally spatially varying spectral filter. The dispersive properties are quite unique with an angular resonance shift of 28 Deg/nm. This device is fabricated using techniques that are compatible with standard micro-electronic fabrication technologies.},

abstract = {The total-field/scattered-field (TF/SF) formulation is a popular technique for incorporating sources into electromagnetic models like the finite-difference frequency-domain (FDFD) method. It is versatile and simplifies calculation of waves scattered from a device. In the context of FDFD, the TF/SF formulation involves modifying all of the finite-difference equations that contain field terms from both the TF and SF regions in order to make the terms compatible. While simple in concept, modifying all of the equations for arbitrarily shaped TF/SF regions is tedious and no solution has been offered in the literature to do it in a straightforward manner. This paper presents a simple and efficient technique for implementing the TF/SF formulation that allows the TF/SF regions to be any shape and of arbitrary complexity. Its simplicity and versatility are demonstrated by giving several practical examples including a diffraction grating, a waveguide problem, and a scattering problem with a cylindrical wave source.},

abstract = {The literature describing scattering matrices for semi-analytical methods almost exclusively contains inefficient formulations and formulations that deviate from long-standing convention in terms of how the scattering parameters are defined. This paper presents a novel and highly improved formulation of scattering matrices that is consistent with convention, more efficient to implement, and more versatile than what has been otherwise presented in the literature. Semi-analytical methods represent a device as a stack of layers that are uniform in the longitudinal direction. Scattering matrices are calculated for each layer and are combined into a single overall scattering matrix that describes propagation through the entire device. Free space gaps with zero thickness are inserted between the layers and the scattering matrices are made to relate fields which exist outside of the layers, but directly on their boundaries. This framework produces symmetric scattering matrices so only two parameters need to be calculated and stored instead of four. It also enables the scattering matrices to be arbitrarily interchanged and reused to describe longitudinally periodic devices more efficiently. Numerical results are presented that show speed and efficiency can be increased by more than an order of magnitude using the improved formulation.},

abstract = {A method is reported for fabricating truly three-dimensional micro-photonic structures directly onto the end face of an optical fiber using the cross-linkable resist SU-8. This epoxide-based material is well suited for micro-device fabrication because it is photo-processed as a solid and the cross-linked material is mechanically robust, chemically resistant, and optically transparent. Yet, procedures commonly used to process SU-8, particularly spin-coating, are impractical when the intended fabrication substrate is the end-face of an optical fiber. A melt-reflow process was developed to prepare optical fibers having SU-8 resin deposited at controlled thickness on the fiber end-face. Multi-photon direct laser writing was then used to fabricate various refractive lenses, a compound lens system, and a woodpile photonic crystal within the resin on the end-face of the optical fiber. Data are presented that show how the refractive lenses can be used to alter the output of the optical fiber. This work opens a new path to low-profile integrated photonic devices.},

abstract = {Interference filters have a defect layer incorporated within a photonic crystal structure and generate a narrow transmission notch within a wide stop band. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate wavelength-tunable spatial filters by introducing diffractive optical elements in the defect layer. The spectral transmission through the device was a function of the local defect layer thickness under broadband illumination. For each wavelength, the spatial transmission followed the contours of equal defect layer optical thickness. The devices were implemented by depositing a one-dimensional photonic crystal with a centrally integrated defect layer on a silicon substrate using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The defect layer was lithographically patterned with charge 2, 8-level vortex structures. The spectral transmission peak and linewidth was characterized by separately illuminating each zone of diffractive element using a tunable laser source and compared with model simulations. The spatial transmission through the device was imaged onto a CCD camera. Triangular wedge-shaped zones with wavelength-dependent orientations were observed. These novel devices with spectrally tunable spatial transmission have potential applications in pupil filtering, hyperspectral imaging, and engineered illumination systems.},

However, GMR performance is dependent on within-wafer as well as wafer-to-wafer lithographic process variability, and pattern transfer fidelity of the final component in the substrate. The fabrication of lithographs below the g-line stepper resolution limit is addressed using multiple patterning. We report results from computational simulations, fabrication and optical reflectance measurements of GMR mirrors and filters (designed to perform around the wavelength of 1550nm), with correlations to lithographic parameter variability, such as photoresist exposure range and etch depth. The dependence of the GMR resonance peak wavelength, peak bandwidth are analyzed as a function of photolithographic fabrication tolerances and process window.},

For example, pigment differs greatly from the observed color of most beetles because their exoskeletons contain multilayer coatings. The green beetle is disguised in a surrounding leaf by having a comparable reflection spectrum as the leaves. The Manuka and June beetle have a concave structure where light incident at any angle on the concave structures produce matching reflection spectra. In this work, semiconductor processing methods were used to duplicate the structure of the beetle exoskeleton. This was achieved by combining analog lithography with a multilayer deposition process. The artificial exoskeleton, 3D concave multilayer structure, demonstrates a wide field of view with a unique spectral response. Studying and replicating these biologically inspired nanostructures may lead to new knowledge for fabrication and design of new and novel nano-photonic devices, as well as provide valuable insight to how such phenomenon is exploited.},

As a result of physics inherent in the etching process, the diameter of the holes reduces with depth, producing a taper. Optical performance was found to be sensitive to the taper, but a method for compensation was developed where film thickness is varied through the device.},

abstract = {Numerical methods for simulating etching and deposition processes were combined with electromagnetic modeling to design guided-mode resonance (GMR) filters with accurately positioned resonances and study how fabrication affects their optical behavior. GMR filters are highly sensitive to structural deformations that arise during fabrication, making accurate placement of their resonances very difficult without active tuning while in operation. Inspired by how thin film resistors are trimmed during fabrication, the numerical tools were used to design a method for adjusting position of GMR resonances at the time of fabrication.},

abstract = {Three-dimensional metallodielectric photonic crystals were created by fabricating a micron-scale polymeric template using multi-photon direct laser writing (DLW) in SU-8 and conformally and selectively coating the template with copper (Cu) via nanoparticle-nucleated electroless metallization. This process deposits a uniform metal coating, even deep within a lattice, because it is not directional like sputter-coating or evaporative deposition. Infrared reflectance spectra show that upon metallization the optical behavior transitions fully from a dielectric photonic crystal to that of a metal photonic crystal (MPC). After depositing 50 nm of Cu, the MPCs exhibit a strong plasmonic stop band having reflectance greater than 80% across the measured part of the band and reaching as high as 95% at some wavelengths. Numerical simulations match remarkably well with the experimental data and predict all dominant features observed in the reflectance measurements, showing that the MPCs are structurally well formed. These data show that the Cu-based process can be used to create high performance MPCs and devices that are difficult or impossible to fabricate by other means.},

abstract = {Using a simplified fabrication process, we present the experimental verification of the performance of a 3-D photonic crystal optical transmission filter. Inherent to this unique fabrication approach to the realization of narrow line width, highly efficient optical transmission filters, is the ability to spatially vary the transmission characteristics across the filter aperture. This differentiates this type of filter from conventional dielectric based space variant optical transmission filters which require additional processing at intermediate steps within the dielectric film deposition process. The multilayer stack consists of alternating high and low refractive index dielectric material grown on either side of a high index dielectric spacer layer, which produces a narrow transmission notch in the center of a large stop band. The nano-structuring of a square lattice array of holes and subsequent etching of the pattern through a dielectric stack provides the ability to spatially vary the location of the narrow transmission peak within the wide stop band based off of variation of the hole diameter or lattice constant of the array.},

abstract = {A nonlinear signal processing method is applied to the design of strongly scattering objects to realize a defined angular response. Investigated as the complement of inverse scattering problems, k -space design methods are combined with cepstral filtering to obtain a permittivity distribution that scatters with the desired response. Starting with the rigorously computed angular spectrum of the scattering amplitude of an object of simple geometric shape, the corresponding k -space is modified to provide the desired scattering behavior. In order to account for strong scattering, cepstral filtering is applied to map the associated distribution of secondary sources to a unique permittivity distribution. The inversion process results in a structure that exhibits the desired properties and which can be interpreted as a perturbation of the initial structure. Simulation results are presented which illustrate the usefulness of this method. In particular, objects are modified to enhance forward scattering and suppress scattering in all other direction. Results are verified using a rigorous finite-difference frequency-domain scheme to simulate scattering. The method is demonstrated as a novel means for designing invisible objects that act as electromagnetic cloaks.},

abstract = {There is tremendous demand for numerical methods to perform rigorous analysis of devices that are both large scale and complex throughout their volume. This can arise when devices must be considered with realistic geometry or when they contain artificial materials such as photonic crystals, left-handed materials, nanoparticles, or other metamaterials. The slice absorption method (SAM) was developed to address this need. The method is fully numerical and able to break large problems down into small pieces, or slices, using matrix division or Gaussian elimination instead of eigensystem computations and scattering matrix manipulations. In these regards, the SAM is an attractive alternative to popular techniques like the finite-difference time domain method, rigorous coupled-wave analysis, and the transfer matrix method. To demonstrate the utility of the SAM and benchmark its accuracy, reflection was simulated for a photonic crystal fabricated in SU-8 by multiphoton direct laser writing. Realistic geometry was incorporated into the model by simulating the microfabrication process, which yielded simulation results that matched experimental measurements remarkably well.},

As an example, comprehensive modeling of near-field nano-patterning is described.

An array of holes was dry etched in Cl 2 /Ar inductively coupled plasma. Etching selectivity between the mask and the substrate was 10:1.2 By using SF 6 Â in addition to the boron-tri-chloride (BCl 3 ) chemistry, the GaAs is etched selectively over the AlGaAs with selectivities over 5:1.

abstract = {A comprehensive and fully three-dimensional model of holographic lithography is used to predict more rigorously the geometry and transmission spectra of photonic crystals formed in Epon ®  SU-8 photoresist. It is the first effort known to the authors to incorporate physics of exposure, postexposure baking, and developing into three-dimensional models of photonic crystals. Optical absorption, reflections, standing waves, refraction, beam coherence, acid diffusion, resist shrinkage, and developing effects combine to distort lattices from their ideal geometry. These are completely neglected by intensity-threshold methods used throughout the literature to predict lattices. Numerical simulations compare remarkably well with experimental results for a face-centered-cube (FCC) photonic crystal. Absorption is shown to produce chirped lattices with broadened bandgaps. Reflections are shown to significantly alter lattice geometry and reduce image contrast. Through simulation, a diamond lattice is formed by multiple exposures, and a hybrid trigonal–FCC lattice is formed that exhibits properties of both component lattices.},

abstract = {SU-8 is a negative-tone photoresist that can serve as a complete optical bench for micro-photonic systems. Functional optical devices and passive alignment structures can all be formed in the same material system with common processing steps. Many interrelated process parameters control the final geometry of structures formed in SU-8, but all can be accurately simulated and predicted by computer modeling. In this work, a comprehensive model of the lithography process was developed and combined with rigorous electromagnetic simulation. It was applied to predict sidewall slope of a tall structures as well as the geometry and transmission spectra of a three-dimensional photonic crystal. The model is seen as an enabling step toward realizing optimized micro-photonic systems in SU-8.},

abstract = {The gauge length of an acoustic signal detector is dynamically variable by adjusting the location of an induced light reflection interface within a section of optical waveguide to which an acoustic stimulus is coupled. In an interferometer based architecture, a light beam is applied to each of an `acoustic signal detection` optical waveguide and a `reference` optical waveguide. The `acoustic signal detection` waveguide is coupled to an acoustic energy transmission element. The acoustic input modifies the index of refraction of the optical waveguide and modulates the light passing through the waveguide. Since the index of refraction of the optical waveguide section is modified by the acoustic stimulus, the signal beam has a phase delay dependent upon the acoustic signal and the distance between one end of the signal waveguide section and an induced reflection interface. The `reference` optical waveguide section also contains a reflection interface, the induced location of which is ganged with that of the signal optical waveguide section. The `signal` path and `reference` path beams reflected by their reflection interfaces are combined and applied to a photo-detector. The index of refraction of the material of the signal optical waveguide section is modified by the acoustic stimulus is the `signal path`. This `signal` path light beam is combined out of phase with `reference` light beam at the photo-detector. US Patent 6542244},
