Photonic crystal enabled THz sources and one-way waveguides

We present two photonic crystal enabled platforms, exhibiting novel active optical phenomena. First, using a detailed theoretical and numerical analysis, we show how a Purcell-effect inspired nonlinear nanophotonic scheme could enable optimal and compact THz sources via optical difference frequency...
