20120308181 | TWO-DIMENSIONAL COUPLED RESONATOR OPTICAL WAVEGUIDE ARRANGEMENTS AND SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS THEREOF - Two-dimensional coupled resonator optical waveguide arrangements and systems, devices, and methods thereof. Networks of coupled resonator optical waveguides are arranged so as to exploit topological properties of these optical networks. Such arrangement affords topological protection against disorders or perturbations in the network that may hinder or block photon flow. As a result of a disorder, photons traversing along edge states of the array are rerouted based on the disorder or perturbation. Photon routing in the network is accordingly protected against disorder or defects. | 12-06-2012 |
20140140651 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES FOR OPTOMECHANICALLY INDUCED NON-RECIPROCITY - On-chip non-reciprocity can be achieved by employing micron-sized optomechanical (OM) devices that are fabricated on-chip and which can be integrated with other optical elements. Non-linear coupling between light and a mechanical mode inside a resonator can provide a non-reciprocal response of the OM system, which can be induced and fully controlled by an external driving electromagnetic field. By choosing different resonator and/or waveguide configurations and by tuning different system parameters, the same OM coupling mechanism can be used to provide isolation (e.g., as an optical diode), non-reciprocal phase shifting, and/or routing applications. Even in the presence of a finite intrinsic mode coupling inside the resonator, non-reciprocal effects remain large for a sufficiently strong OM coupling. The disclosed systems, methods, and devices can be applied on a single photon level, which may find use for various non-reciprocal applications in the classical optical as well as the quantum regime. | 05-22-2014 |
