Abstract
Photonic crystal devices are now being produced for a variety of functions - and the need to provide thermal control of the behaviour suggests the use of thermo-optic effects. it has emerged that thermo-optic effects can provide useful modulation, switching and tuning capability. Future trends indicate fast, low-power, thermo-optically operated photonic crystal and photonic wire devices - and the possibility of simultaneous athermal characteristics.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
