Gap maps, diffraction losses, and exciton–polaritons in photonic crystal slabs

A theory of photonic crystal (PhC) slabs is described, which relies on an expansion in the basis of guided modes of an effective homogeneous waveguide and on treating the coupling to radiative modes and the resulting losses by perturbation theory. The following applications are discussed for the case of a high-index membrane: gap maps for photonic lattices in a waveguide; exciton–polariton states, when the PhC slab contains a quantum well with an excitonic resonance; propagation losses of line-defect modes in W1 waveguides, also in the presence of disorder; the quality factors of photonic nanocavities. In particular, we predict that disorder-induced losses below 0.2 dB/mm can be achieved in state-of-the-art samples by increasing the channel width of W1 waveguides.     

Resonant modes and inter-well coupling in photonic double quantum well structures with single-negative materials

We investigate the resonance tunneling modes of photonic double quantum well made of two photonic crystals with two different single-negative materials. It is found that these resonance modes split pairs, due to a coupling between two photonic wells. It is observed that when two photonic quantum wells are far away from each other, resonance modes appear as a single peak. And the quality factors of the transmittance resonance peaks can be greatly improved by increasing the period number of the outer barrier. The effects of the losses coming from ENG and MNG materials on the resonance modes are also specifically explored.     

Theoretical study of light localization in photonic bandgaps of organic octagonal quasiperiodic photonic crystal slabs

Based on the polystyrene material of low refractive index, light localization in photonic bandgaps of two kinds of 2D octagonal quasiperiodic photonic crystal slabs are investigated in theory, including the air-rod polystyrene slab and polystyrene-rod slab. The properties of bandgaps and localized modes in both two defect-free patterns are analyzed in detail. When a single-point defect is introduced into two quasiperiodic structures, the position of emerging defect modes and the red-shifting of resonant modes in wavelength are observed quite differently when the defect microcavity is increased in size. This difference is caused by the competition of two physical mechanisms, which are the effect of defect energy levels caused by defects introduced into photonic crystals and the resonance of modes in the defect cavity. These results will provide theoretical support for experimental fabrication of organic light-emitting quasiperiodic photonic crystal devices.

Band gap structure of disordered chiral photonic crystals

Based on the non-symmetric transmission-line method, the band gap structure of disordered chiral photonic crystals (CPC) has been investigated. The influence of the chiral parameters, the disorder, the periods and the refractive index on the band gap structure has been discussed. It is found that the photonic band gap (PBG) in CPC is more obvious than that in the conventional photonic crystals, and the PBG can be increased by increasing the periods or the contrast of the refractive index of the two media. It is also found that the existence of disorder will influence the band edge of the PBG, and such influence will increase with the increment of periods or the contrast of the refractive index of the two media.

Optical surface Bloch modes of complete photonic bandgap materials as a basis of optical sensing

Surface Bloch modes induced on three-dimensional dielectric photonic crystals with a complete photonic bandgap are evanescently decaying states at surfaces and have large field overlap with low-index media, resulting in narrow spectrum linewidth and simultaneously a large resonance shift due to a perturbation of the refractive index in the background media. Surface Bloch resonance states are analyzed for (001), (100), and (110) woodpile surface planes. Low-loss, high-sensitivity surface Bloch modes are also analyzed on a flat-top (001) woodpile planar surface. These analyzed surface Bloch modes are confined in a subwavelength scale and are expected to form a basis set used for optical resonance sensing.

Localized photonic modes in photonic crystal heterostructures

In this work, interface modes of two-dimensional photonic crystal heterostructures have been investigated by usage of the supercell method. The photonic crystal heterostructure is made of two photonic crystals with square symmetry in which one of them is composed of circular dielectric rods in air background and the other one is constructed by drilled square holes in dielectric. It is shown that using of a proper supercell plays an important role in obtaining the correct interface modes. We have also showed that the guided interface modes and single mode which is different from those reported in some published works are nearly dispersionless.     

DOUBLE PERIODIC PHOTONIC CRYSTAL WITH METAMATERIAL

In this paper, the reflection and transmission coefficients of multi-layer dielectric and metamaterial media are derived by transmission-line method. Then, it is applied to double periodic photonic crystal structure, which is composed of two thin dielectric layers sandwiched by two thin metamaterial layers. The results show the structure has a large passband and a monotonous symmetric rising band edges compared with that for a conventional photonic crystal structure. If a defect layer is introduced, the localized modes appear. Furthermore, the number of transmission peaks in the photonic crystal structure can be tuned by changing the thickness of the defect in the structure. This photonic crystal may find application to broadband reflectors and the multi-wavelength narrow band optical filters.     

All-optical switch based on photonic crystal microcavity with multi-resonant modes

We present a design of all-optical switches based on one-dimensional photonic crystals (1D PhC) doped with nonlinear optical materials. The 1D PhC switch structure is composed of a PhC cavity sandwiched by two accessional PhC microcavities. The center PhC cavity has two resonant frequencies with nearly the same quality factors (Q), while the accessional PhC cavities have the same resonant frequency, which is equal to one of the resonant frequencies of the center cavity. The two accessional PhC cavities cause reduction of Q value in this resonant frequency and result in different Q values of two modes. We realize all-optical switch effect by selecting pump light wavelength at the low Q mode and probe light wavelength at the other mode. The theoretical simulations by using the finite difference time domain method show that the pump light intensity required to realize optical switch effect in the designed switch is 50 times smaller than that in one-dimensional photonic crystals cavity with only one resonant mode.     

Control of photonic band gaps in one-dimensional photonic crystals

Temperature dependence of photonic crystals based on thermoresponsive magnetic fluids

The influence mechanisms of temperature on the band gap properties of the magnetic fluids based photonic crystals are elaborated. A method has been developed to obtain the temperature-dependent structure information (A_sol/A) from the existing experimental data and then two critical parameters, i.e. the structure ratio (d/a) and the refractive index contrast (Δn) of the magnetic fluids photonic crystals are deduced for band diagram calculations. The temperature-dependent band gaps are gained for z-even and z-odd modes. Band diagram calculations display that the mid frequencies and positions of the existing forbidden bands are not very sensitive to the temperature, while the number of the forbidden bands at certain strengths of magnetic field may change with the temperature variation. The results presented in this work give a guideline for designing the potential photonic devices based on the temperature characteristics of the magnetic fluids based photonic crystals and are helpful for improving their quality.
