Background:

Bloch Surface Waves (BSWs) on a 1D photonic crystal offer unique light propagation properties.
Existing platforms for integrated optics face challenges in achieving arbitrary 2D device designs.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the potential of a BSW-supporting photonic crystal as a platform for 2D integrated optics.
To engineer polymer microstructures for light manipulation on the BSW platform.
To characterize the performance of these engineered structures for photonic chip applications.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of ultra-thin polymer prisms and gratings (~100 nm) on a 1D photonic crystal.
Near-field optical measurements to observe BSW deflection.
Experimental and theoretical characterization of BSW diffraction through gratings.
Verification of Snell's law for light deflection.

Main Results:

Demonstrated manipulation of BSWs using engineered polymer structures.
Observed and verified BSW deflection by surface prisms, confirming Snell's law.
Characterized BSW diffraction through surface gratings, showing robust performance.
Achieved arbitrary 2D photonic device shapes, a significant advantage over 3D fabrication.

Conclusions:

The BSW photonic crystal platform with engineered polymer structures is a viable and robust solution for integrated optics.
This platform enables the creation of complex, arbitrary 2D photonic devices for future photonic chips.
The low loss, long propagation distance, and high surface field enhancement of the platform are key advantages.
