Photonic Materials: Recent Advances and Emerging Applications

Sharjah, U.A.E. | Posted on February 10th, 2023

The chapters are categorized under broad tracks. In Photonic Crystals, Chapter 1 summarizes recent developments in the field of photonic crystals by presenting the utmost frequent and necessary optical devices established on PCs such as optical logic gates, optical power splitters, polarization splitters, sensing devices, and lasers. In Chapter 2, a novel design for an all-optical XOR gate using 2D photonic crystals has been proposed and investigated. Chapter 3 investigates and studies the effect of hydrostatic pressure on the reflectance and transmittance properties of the one-dimensional PC containing germanium (Ge). Plasmonics is an emerging and fast-growing branch of science and technology that focuses on the coupling of light to the free electron density in metals. Chapter 4 provides a comprehensive description of the theoretical approaches adopted to investigate the dispersion relation of graphene surface plasmons, types of graphene surface plasmons and their interactions with photons, phonons and electrons and experimental techniques. Renewable energy is the future in a power hungry world. Solar Cells and Materials are hence forth going to play a vital role in energy sector. In Chapter 5, the third generation solar cells, in regards to materials, production, fabrication process, energy payback time, efficiency and applications have been critically analyzed. Chapter 6 gives a brief overview of the recent researches of graphene in solar cell applications. Nanophotonics is a component of the broad field of nanotechnology which studies the characteristics of light on nanometer scales. Chapter 7 and Chapter 8 focus upon the recent developments in nanophotonics. Some Novel Photonic Materials are considered next. 2D materials are believed to be the future solution to various photonics and opto-electronic technology including fiber laser. In Chapter 10, the application of monochalcogenides, trandition metal dichalcogenides and MXenes is reviewed from the viewpoint of fiber laser technology. Bragg Fibers have tremendous practical applications hence spanning a large body of research. In Chapter 11, the propagation and dispersion properties of hollow-core Bragg fibre waveguides for both high and low refractive index contrasts of cladding materials are explored and compared. In Chapter 12, an attractive research to review the biological motivation behind the development of multilayer photonic nanostructure is studied. Silicon photonics allows for high yield and complex integration with large processing, packaging, and testing availability. Chapter 13 analyzes different approaches to modeling fabrication variations in photonic integrated circuits. Finally, Chapter 14 gives a comprehensive review of different types of smart materials, their preparation, characteristics and applications.
