A theoretical and experimental investigation of plasma photonic crystals and devices
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This thesis investigates the use of gaseous plasmas in photonic crystal devices through theoretical approaches and laboratory experiments. A theoretical and analytical framework for one- and two-dimensional plasma photonic crystals is presented in detail, as well as the design and characterization of various experimental photonic devices. The first part of this thesis is focused on understanding the theoretical behavior of plasma photonic crystals, with a characterization of one dimensional and two-dimensional plasma photonic crystals through theoretical approaches. The second half of this thesis focuses on experimentally exploring plasma photonic crystal devices, including the design and construction of a photonic crystal with embedded plasma elements, a full 2D plasma photonic crystal, a full 3D plasma photonic crystal, a hybrid 3D plasma photonic crystal as a platform for optical computing, and microstrip photonic crystal devices with plasma elements. Applications of these devices to microwave circuits, tunable filters, optical computing systems, and artificial neural networks are discussed.
