ABSTRACT
The present decade is the exploration of photonics and plasmonics devices for the search of robust telecommunication network design for accurate and efficient information transfer. Owing to the present development of nanophotonic devices and their experimental realization, researchers are now thinking in terms of achieving the mission of quantum information processing by resorting to photonic neuromorphic computing. Slotted photonic crystal waveguides have been an effective platform for efficient light–matter interactions owing to the ultra-high optical confinement as attained after merging the strong spatial and temporal confinement of the slotted and the photonic crystal waveguides, respectively. Light–matter interactions, especially the nonlinear optical phenomena typically require high operating power and/or large footprint of the underlying waveguides which are the fundamental constraints limiting their applicability in integrated photonics. Several systems have been proposed where a location estimation theory with a wireless remote monitoring system is used for non-destructive damage assessment (NDDA) of impact response on aerospace structures in real-time.
