Polaritonics in complex structures: Confinement, bandgap materials, and coherent control

Abstract

We report on the design, fabrication, and testing of ferroelectric patterned materials in the guided-wave and polaritonic regime. We demonstrate their functionality and exploit polariton confinement for amplification and coherent control using temporal pulse shaping.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures, presented in the 14th international conference on ultrafast phenomenon in Niigita Japan on July 25, 200
