The objective of the proposed research is to establish a revolutionary new class of vertical cavity photonic integrated circuits. The coupling between the elements of a 2-dimensional array will be achieved by using defect engineering within 2D photonic crystal lattices. Equally important, this research will provide a new context to extend the understanding of microcavity physics as well as the nano-fabrication techniques for novel optical materials. Therefore highly dense, high performance 2D optical circuits for optical processing applications or 2D optical interconnects (suitable for the chip level!) is a target of this esearch. However, this research may also have major impact on high-performance communication applications, such as for wavelength division multiplexing or high-capacity photonic integrated circut for the next generation of telecommunications.

该研究的目的是建立一种革命性的新型垂直腔光子集成电路。二维阵列的元件之间的耦合将通过使用二维光子晶体晶格内的缺陷工程来实现。同样重要的是，这项研究将提供一个新的背景下，扩大理解的微腔物理以及纳米制造技术的新型光学材料。 因此，高密度、高性能的2D光学电路用于光学处理应用或2D光学互连（适用于芯片级！）是这次袭击的目标然而，这项研究也可能对高性能通信应用产生重大影响，例如波分复用或下一代电信的大容量光子集成电路。
