Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="lpor201400135-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>With the recent development of silicon photonics and high resolution lithography, periodic structures with a sub‐wavelength pitch have found widespread application. This review provides an introduction to the physics of sub‐wavelength structures and an extensive overview of their applications in waveguide devices, including: high efficiency fiber‐chip couplers, wavelength multiplexers, athermal waveguide and ultra‐broadband waveguide couplers. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh372w4xrh" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
