| Abstract | Photonic crystals (PCs), or photonic bandgap (PBG) materials, are periodic dielectric structures that forbid the propagation of electromagnetic waves in certain frequency ranges. Although a full PBG is only possible in three-dimensional (3D) PCs most of all the intriguing phenomena characteristic for wavelength-scale periodic structures can already be observed and utilized in 2D PCs (periodicity in one plane) and even in 1D ones (well known Bragg reflector). Since fabrication of 3D PCs is still a challenge a lot of research effort is devoted to PCs of lower dimensions. Defect waveguides in 2D PCs capable of light confinement and lossless guidance through sharp bends, open new routes for compact integrated circuits. Unique dispersion properties of PCs can be utilized for realizing efficient light sources, dispersion compensators, or very narrow band optical filters. In the first part of this talk I will give a short introduction explaining basic properties of photonic crystals and some possible applications. In the second part I will review the research on 1D and 2D photonic crystals at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH). KTH research on 2D PCs, formed as air holes etched through InP based slab waveguides, started in 2000 as a part of the European consortium on Photonic Crystal Integrated Circuits (PCIC) dedicated to integrated optics applications for the 1.5 /spl mu/m telecommunication window. KTH has been focused on PC based optical filters, and has been active in both the fabrication, modelling, and optical characterization. In other KTH projects we have also dealt with optical filtering in ID PCs made as alternating layers of Si and SiO/sub 2/, and have recently started fabrication of 2D PCs in Si on SiO/sub 2/ substrate (silicon-on-insulator). Selected design examples as well as two recently realized filter demonstrators will be presented. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
