Patent CA-2314406-A1 (CA)
Title: Electro-actively tunable photonic bandgap materials
Inventor: SAJEEV JOHN
IPC: G02F1/01
Filed: 2000-07-24
Abstract: The present invention provides fully tunable photonic band gap (PBG) materials. These materials are periodic composite materials comprising a high refractive index dielectric material and another optically anisotropic, birefringent, electro-optically tunable, or magneto-optically tunable material with a lower dielectric constant in which the photonic band structure can be globally or locally changed in a controlled manner by application of an external electric, magnetic, or electromagnetic field, whereby changing the refractive index properties of one or more of the dielectric constituents by application of the field modulates the photonic band structure. In one aspect of the invention, when an optically birefringent nematic liquid crystal is infiltrated into the void regions of full bandgap (PBG) material based on an inverse opal, the resulting composite material exhibits a completely tunable PBG. In particular, the three-dimensional PBG can be completely opened or closed by applying an electric field which rotates the axis of the nematic molecules relative to the inverse opal backbone. Tunable light localization effects may be realized by controlling the orientational disorder in the nematic.

Patent CA-2345500-A1 (CA)
Inventor: POWER JOAN F
IPC: G01N21/84
Filed: 2001-04-30
Abstract: The present invention comprises an apparatus and a method of microscopy, for measuring depth dependent profiles of optical absorption, photoluminescence and light scattering in thin films on length scales of a few micrometers to a several millimeters. The principles of this invention are also directly extendable to imaging absorption and scattering at other wavelengths, and the scattering of electrons, and neutrons in thin films on the same or shorter length scales. In the optical range, this depth profile information is recovered by the direct recording of micrometer scale images of a light beam propagating along the depth axis of the material under study. The recording is implemented using a crossed beam microscope apparatus in which a collimated optical beam from a light source is propagated through the material under test. An image is recorded along a view axis, oriented at 90 degrees to the source beam axis, through a cross sectional image transfer surface of the sample, so prepared as to allow transmission of light emitted from the irradiated region of the sample. This emitted light is used to transfer an image to a camera of the source beam propagating though the sample, through a microscope or optical system aligned along the view axis. The depth profile recovered by such a microscope has a composite depth variation, which may be mathematically described by the product of a profile of light attenuation with depth of the source beam in the sample, multiplied by a matrix contrast arising from a depth variation in light emission efficiency of the sample. A modified two beam configuration of the microscope permits the extraction of the light attenuation profile of the source beam in the sample, independently of the matrix contrast.
