Abstract:
A multi-wavelength surface plasmon laser that simultaneously emits surface plasmons having a large number of wavelengths and includes an active layer whose thickness changes with position, and a metal cavity whose length changes with position so that light of different wavelengths is emitted according to position. Surface plasmons are generated at the interface between a metal layer and a semiconductor layer in response to the light of different wavelengths. The surface plasmons having different wavelengths may be resonated in the metal cavity whose length changes with position and may be emitted to the outside.
Abstract:
A light filter and a spectrometer including the light filter are disclosed. The light filter includes a plurality of filter units having different resonance wavelengths, wherein each of the plurality of filter units includes a cavity layer configured to output light of constructive interference, a Bragg reflection layer provided on a first surface of the cavity layer, and a pattern reflection layer provided on a second surface of the cavity layer opposite to the first surface and configured to cause guided mode resonance of light incident on the pattern reflection layer, the pattern reflection layer including a plurality of reflection structures that are periodically arranged.
Abstract:
Provided are an optical device and a method of controlling the direction of light from an optical device. The optical device includes: a substrate; a metal layer on the substrate; a first slot which is provided in the metal layer; and at least one light source provided in the first slot, wherein light is emitted from the at least one light source in the direction of the top part of the first slot or the bottom part of the first slot.
Abstract:
An apparatus for outputting directional light includes a light-emitting structure including a light-emitting layer that emits light, and an optical antenna layer disposed on the light-emitting structure, wherein the optical antenna layer includes a light feeder configured to resonate light output from the light-emitting layer and a light reflector configure to reflect light output from the light feeder to have directivity. The light feeder and the light reflector are formed on a surface of the optical antenna layer.
