Microfluidic Photonic Crystals and Devices

VTIP:09-005

The disclosure describes how to build all-fluidic photonic crystals and devices. A few important advantages of the all-fluidic configuration are:

Adaptability: the photonic circuits can be easily reconfigured and ?re-wired? in real time through the control of physical parameters.

Capability of building complex photonic structures: by combining simple and basic fluidic ...

Tunability of Optical Fiber Long Period Gratings by Self-Assembled Layers and Its Use as a Sensor or Modulator

VTIP:04.080

The invention consists of a new method for changing the resonant attenuation wavelength of an optical fiber long period grating (LPG). This method can yield large, yet precisely-controlled shifts of the resonant attenuation wavelength of the LPG. This method is reversible which provides the ability of repeating it ...
