including some recent results.
frequency tunability. The use of saturable
absorbers and fiber dichroic mirrors results in a
cost-efficient compact source.
a planar microcavity through resonant twophoton
excitation. This results in laser
scattering-free cascaded single photons with
excellent two-photon suppression.
The experimental
realization of a
nanoscale, high efficiency,
and
non-resonant broadband
orthogonal
junction as a coupling
scheme between plasmonic
slot and silicon
waveguide is
presented. This serves
as an enabling platform
for hybrid plasmonic
interconnects.

Photonic crystals
provide unprecedented
control over light. In
this work we demonstrate
a method of
forming 3D photonic
and plasmonic crystals
from single crystal III-V
semiconductors by
self-assembly and
metal-organic vapor
phase epitaxy.

Q-switched Mode-Locking of an Erbiumdoped
Fiber Laser through Subharmonic
Cavity Modulation, J. Lee, Y. M. Chang and
J. H. Lee, University of Seoul, Seoul, Korea
A Q-switched, mode-locked fiber laser based on
cavity loss modulation at a subharmonic
frequency of the fundamental intermode
frequency spacing is experimentally demonstrated.
This simple approach is shown to
produce high quality Q-switched, mode-locked
pulses.

on Silicon
M. Chamanzar and
A. Adibi, Georgia
Institute of Technology,
Atlanta, GA, USA
We present two dual
types of Si-based
hybrid photonic-plasmonic
structures for
extreme light concentration.
Both structures
are ultra-compact
(length < 1µm) and
highly efficient.

Stereopsis-Inspired Time-Stretched
Amplified Real-Time Spectrometer
(STARS), M. H. Asghari and B. Jalali,
University of California - Los Angeles, Los
Angeles, CA, USA
We introduce and experimentally demonstrate a
single-shot real-time optical vector analyzer
(OVA). This instrument combines amplified
dispersive Fourier transform with stereopsis
reconstruction and is inspired by binocular
vision in biological eyes.

Analysis of Fiber Optical Parametric
Oscillator for High-Repetition-Rate Pulse
Generation, J. Li, McGill University, Montreal,
QC, Canada, T. Huang, Huazhong University of
Science and Technology, Wuhan, Hubei, China
and L. R. Chen, McGill University, Montréal, QC,
Canada
We analyze the effects of pump settings and
cavity designs of a mode-locked fiber optical
parametric oscillator on the characteristics of the
output pulses. Pulse generation at different
repetition rates are demonstrated and characterized.

Alignment between a single quantum dot
and a photonic crystal nanocavity by a

imaging, T. Kojima, K. Kojima, T. Asano and
S. Noda, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan
An accurate and reliable method to realize position
and wavelength alignment between a single
quantum dot and a two-dimensional slab
photonic crystal nanocavity is developed using a
photoluminescence imaging technique.
