A method of pumping an optical resonator includes directing light generated by a pumping light at the optical resonator, exciting a propagating surface state of the optical resonator at an interface of the optical resonator, and changing a propagating frequency of the light proximate the interface, where the changed frequency corresponds to a propagation frequency of the surface state. The optical resonator includes a photonic crystal and a material, where the interface is formed between the photonic crystal and the material.

Method and system for pumping of an optical resonator

An apparatus to modify an incident free space electromagnetic wave includes a block of an artificially structured material having an adjustable spatial distribution of electromagnetic parameters (e.g., &#x2208;, &#x3bc;, &#x3b7;, &#x3c3;, and n). A controller applies control signals to dynamically adjust the spatial distribution of electromagnetic parameters in the material to introduce a time-varying path delay d (t) in the modified electromagnetic wave relative to the incident electromagnetic wave.

An apparatus to modify an incident free space electromagnetic wave includes a block of an artificially structured material having an adjustable spatial distribution of electromagnetic parameters (e.g., &#x3b5;, &#x3bc;, &#x3b7;, &#x3c3;, and n). A controller applies control signals to dynamically adjust the spatial distribution of electromagnetic parameters in the material to introduce a time-varying path delay d(t) in the modified electromagnetic wave relative to the incident electromagnetic wave.

Circuits, integrated circuits devices, and methods are disclosed that may include biasable transistors with screening regions positioned below a gate and separated from the gate by a semiconductor layer. Bias voltages can be applied to such screening regions to optimize multiple performance features, such as speed and current leakage. Particular embodiments can include biased sections coupled between a high power supply voltage and a low power supply voltage, each having biasable transistors. One or more generation circuits can generate multiple bias voltages. A bias control section can couple one of the different bias voltages to screening regions of biasable transistors to provide a minimum speed and lowest current leakage for such a minimum speed.
