HARBOUR ROOM B GRAND BALLROOM B GRAND BALLROOM C GRAND BALLROOM E
ThI2 11:00 AM - 11:30 AM (Invited)
Nonlinear Fiber Plasmonics: Discovery of
the Self-Frequency Blueshift of Solitons,
F. Biancalana, Max Planck Institute for the
Science of Light, Erlangen, Germany
Based on a recently developed model that is able
to describe pulse propagation in gas-filled
hollow-core PCFs, we show that the photoionization
process can lead to soliton self-frequency
blue-shift, self-phase modulation, and modulation
instability.
ThJ2 11:00 AM - 11:30 AM (Invited)
Low Insertion Loss Nanocavity Optical
Modulators, L. O’Faolain, K. Debnath and
T. F. Krauss, University of St. Andrews, St.
Andrews, Fife, UK
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a
novel optical modulator based on a photonic
crystal resonator vertically coupled to large mode
area bus waveguide.
ThK2 11:00 AM - 11:30 AM (Invited)
Optical Networking Solutions for Data
Centre LANs, J. Dunne, Intune Networks Ltd.,
Dublin, Ireland
The Data Center LAN has traditionally been a
network contained within a single location and
has not required carrier class capabilities.
However the optical networking component of
the Data Center LAN will become increasingly
important as this LAN will be forced to grow into
something between a carrier class metro network
and a campus WAN due to the trend to distribute
Data Centers and move them closer to the end
users of the services they provide, both over the
internet and over private networks.
ThL2 11:00 AM - 11:15 AM
Mid-Infrared Designer Metals, S. Law,
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,
Urbana, IL, USA, D. Adams, University of
Massachusetts Lowell, Lowell, MA, USA,
A. Taylor and D. M. Wasserman, University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL, USA
We demonstrate the utility of epitaxially-grown,
highly-doped semiconductors as plasmonic
designer metals, with plasma wavelengths across
a broad range of the mid-infrared. Micro-particles
fabricated from these materials are shown to
support localized surface plasmon modes.
ThL3 11:15 AM - 11:30 AM
Silver-doped Arsenic Selenide (Ag-
As 2Se 3) Waveguides for Compact
Nonlinear Optical Devices, D.-Y. Choi,
X. Gai, S. Madden, R. Wang and B. Luther-
Davies, Australian National University, Canberra,
Australia
We developed a novel approach to produce silver
doped As 2Se 3 rib-type waveguide. By employing
continuous wave four-wave mixing we verified
that the medium has very high nonlinearity,
which is promising for compact devices.
ThI3 11:30 AM - 11:45 AM
ThJ3 11:30 AM - 11:45 AM
Nonlinear “Rainbow” Trapping effect for
Broadband Third-Harmonic Generation,
Z. Xin, Y. Gao, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA,
USA, Q. Gan, State University of New York at
Buffalo, Buffalo, NY, USA and F. J. Bartoli, Lehigh
University, Bethlehem, PA, USA
We studied a plasmonic graded grating structure
that can simultaneously generate third harmonic
ultraviolet light of different wavelengths at
different positions along the grating. Such broadband
Photonic-Crystal Slab for Terahertz-Wave
Integrated Circuits, T. Ishigaki, M. Fujita,
M. Nagai, M. Ashida and T. Nagatsuma, Osaka
University, Toyonaka, Osaka, Japan
We propose a terahertz-wave integrated circuit
based on a photonic-crystal slab to ma-nipulate
terahertz waves in a planar structure. Propagation
loss of terahertz photon-ic-crystal waveguides
can be much smaller than that of metallic transmission
lines.
discrete ultraviolet generation is achieved
through surface dispersion engineering.
ThK3 11:30 AM - 11:45 AM
Hybrid Reconfiguration for Upgrading
Datacenter Interconnection Topology,
G. L. Vassoler, F. de Souza, P. Filho and
M. Ribeiro, Federal University of Espirito Santo,
Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil
This paper proposes the introduction of 2x2
magneto-optical switches as a reconfigurable
physical layer with no link loss to provide higher
throughput, and simultaneously, reduce CPU
packet forwarding load in server-centric datacenters.
ThL4 11:30 AM - 11:45 AM
Nonlinear Optical Responses of
Photopolymerizable CdSe Quantum Dot-
Polymer Nanocomposites Capable of
Holographically Patterning Photonic
Lattice Structures, Y. Tomita, Y. Adachi,
X. Liu, University of Electro-Communications,
Chofu, Tokyo, Japan, J. Oshima, Nissan
Chemical Industries, Ltd., Funabashi, Chiba,
Japan, T. Nakashima and T. Kawai, Nara Institute
of Science and Technology, Ikoma, Nara, Japan
We report degenerate multi-wave mixing and
nonlinear Bragg diffraction in a photopolymerizable
semiconductor CdSe quantum dot-polymer
nanocomposite by a 532-nm picosecond laser.
We show that the composite possesses the
simultaneous third- and fifth-order nonlinear
refraction.
ThI4 11:45 AM - 12:00 PM
Enhancing Nonlinear Effects with Micron-
Scale Graphene-Coated Plasmonic
Structures, A. Banerjee and H. Grebel, New
Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, NJ, USA
We demonstrated efficient nonlinear coupling
between local vibrating molecules and propagating
polariton modes at the vibration frequency
(namely, mid-IR frequencies) using suspended
graphene waveguides.

Nanopores and Quantum Dots by
Selective Area Metalorganic Chemical
Vapor Deposition, J. J. Coleman, University
of Illinois, Urbana, IL, USA
We describe the metalorganic chemical vapor
deposition and patterning by electron beam
lithography and selective area growth or wet
chemical etching of quantum dot and inverted
quantum dot (nanopore) structures suitable for
diode lasers.
ThL5 11:45 AM - 12:00 PM

Gas, P. Dianat, R. W. Prusak, Drexel University,
Philadelphia, PA, USA, A. Persano, F. Quaranta,
A. Cola, Institute for Microelectronics and
Microsystems, Lecce, Italy and B. Nabet, Drexel
University, Philadelphia, PA, USA
We report on observation of giant enhancements
in light-induced capacitance of an unconventional
