On the project

Společný projekt FJFI ČVUT, ÚFE AV ČR a FSI VUT v Brně je zaměřen na teoretickou analýzu a numerické modelování optických jevů v nanofotonických strukturách perspektivních pro fotonickou integraci. Budou důkladně zkoumány zcela nové typy magnetofotonických krystalů s nereciprokými optickými vlastnostmi zvýrazněnými plazmonickými heterostrukturami, fotonické krystaly se skokovým i spojitým rozložením optické permitivity, dielektrické i plazmonické vlnovodné struktury subvlnových rozměrů a vlnovodné struktury s vázanými mikrorezonátory. Struktury budou studovány z hlediska potenciálních aplikací pro zpracování signálů ("pomalé světlo"), v komunikacích (integrované optické izolátory), případně i v senzorech. Každé z pracovišť bude koordinovat výzkum v určité oblasti: FJFI analýzu dvoj- a trojrozměrných fotonických krystalů a celkový vývoj numerických metod, ÚFE problematiku nereciprokých a magnetofotonických krystalů a VUT Brno analýzu povrchových a lokalizovaných plazmonů.

Description in English
Joint project of the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU), Institute of Photonics and Electronics ASCR (IPE), and Brno University of Technology (BUT) is aimed at the theoretical analysis and numerical modelling of optical effects in nanophotonic structures perspective for photonic integration. Entirely new types of magnetophotonic crystals exhibiting nonreciprocal optical properties enhanced by plasmonic heterostructures, photonic crystals with step-index as well as graded-index profiles, dielectric as well as plasmonic guided-wave subwavelength structures, and coupled-resonator waveguide structures will be thoroughly studied having in mind their potential applications in signal processing ("slow light"), optical communication (integratedisolators), and possibly also sensors. Each laboratory will coordinate joint research in a specific area: CTU the analysis of two- and three-dimensional photonic crystals and the overall development of the numerical methods
