We present a far-field optical technique allowing measurements of the dispersion relation of electromagnetic fields propagating under the light cone in photonic nanostructures. It relies on the use of a one-dimensional grating to probe the evanescent tail of ...
Photonic crystals (PhCs) act on light in two different ways: confinement and modification of propagation. Both phenomena rely on the complex interplay between multiply scattered waves that can form what is known as a Bloch mode. Here, we present a techniqu ...
We experimentally investigate the dispersion relation of silicon-on-insulator waveguides in the 1.5 mu m wavelength range by using a technique based on far-field Fourier-space imaging. The phase information of the propagating modes is transferred into the ...
