Abstract :
Photonic nanostructure devices based on photonic crystals and high index contrast are now being studied worldwide for various applications. The miniaturization of devices and their high density integration are attractive targets. Some simple devices that provide novel high performance and/or unique characteristics are also expected. This presentation outlines their current status and introduces some results of our study. Devices considered include light emitters (lasers and LEDs), waveguides and transmission-type devices.
