It is based on 2D or 3D periodic structures with lattice constants comparable to the wavelength of the photons of interest. If the dielectric constant contrast is high enough, new ways of manipulating light become possible.
Microphotonic components have the potential of revolutionizing photonic integration.
The physics, materials aspects, fabrication tools and techniques, devices, and systems will be at the center of this symposium. Symposium Organizers Pierre Wiltzius Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies, Semiconductor Physics Research, Rm.
