Novel Bloch wave excitation platform based on few-layer photonic crystal deposited on D-shaped optical fiber

Abstract With the goal of ultimate control over the light propagation, photonic crystals currently represent the primary building blocks for novel nanophotonic devices. Bloch surface waves (BSWs) in periodic dielectric multilayer structures with a surface defect is a well-known phenomenon, which imp...
