均匀等离子体光栅的色散特性研究

最近研究表明,两束交叉激光脉冲在等离子体中传播时,可以诱导生成周期等离子体密度调制(或称等离子体布拉格光栅). 分别利用传输矩阵法和耦合模理论,推导了激光斜入射时等离子体光栅的色散关系. 两种方法均表明,均匀等离子体光栅存在着光子带隙结构,并且在带隙附近有强烈的色散. 当激光斜入射时,带隙结构会呈现不同的偏振特性：S偏振光的带隙宽度随着入射角的增大而逐渐变宽,而P偏振光的带隙宽度随着入射角的增大先迅速变窄,在布儒斯特角入射时带隙消失,然后又随着入射角的增大而迅速变宽. 超宽的光子带隙和超高的激光损伤阈值,使得等离子体光栅有望成为一种新型的操纵强激光脉冲的光子器件. 关键词： 等离子体光栅 传输矩阵法 耦合模理论 光子带隙     

一维光子晶体的折射率研究

对于一维光子晶体反常折射的研究大都基于光子晶体的色散关系解析解,文章作者认为,在光线非正入射时上述方法是不适用的,有必要使用更加合适的方法对一维光子晶体的折射规律加以系统研究,从而对一维光子晶体器件的设计起到些指导作用.文章将一维光子晶体作为二维问题来考察,使用数值方法(平面波展开法)来计算光线在光子晶体中沿各个方向传播时的色散关系,进而得到了折射角与入射角和频率的关系.结果表明:对于一维光子晶体,考查在第一能带范围内的频率,当频率越接近能带边,且入射角越接近敏感区时,折射角对入射角和频率的变化越敏感.而且,敏感区随频率的增大有向小角度移动的趋势.     

太赫兹波探测光子晶体涂层覆盖目标的可行性

覆盖于高温目标表面的光子晶体红外涂层可实现对目标红外辐射的抑制,而太赫兹波所具有的强穿透特性使其对该类目标的探测成为可能。以相关文献中设计的光子晶体涂层为例,采用特征矩阵理论对0.3~3 THz频率范围内的太赫兹波在该类涂层中的传输特性进行理论计算和分析,重点研究了不同入射角度的太赫兹波在该类涂层中的传输特性。研究发现,上述太赫兹波段处于光子晶体的带隙之外,0.3~0.5 THz频率范围内的太赫兹波对该类红外涂层具有较强的穿透特性,其光谱透过率大于90%;而在2.4~3 THz范围内,其在涂层上具有较强的反射,且整个波段内的吸收率小于0.2%。当入射角小于60°时,其对太赫兹波的传输特性影响较小;进一步增大入射角,其透过率逐渐降低,而反射率逐渐增大。研究结果证明了利用太赫兹波进行涂层覆盖目标探测的可行性,有望利用太赫兹雷达探测弥补红外探测系统的不足。     

用特征矩阵法研究一维激光全息光子晶体的禁带特性

介质中传播方向相反的2束激光干涉可形成具有一维周期结构的体积全息图,而这种全息图可以看作一维光子晶体,称为一维激光全息图光子晶体,用特征矩阵法研究了一维激光全息图光子晶体的透射谱中的禁带随入射角、记录波长、介质折射率、折射率调制度的变化规律。结果表明：当入射角变大,激光波长、介质折射率及介质折射率调制度变小时, 禁带的位置向短波方向移动, 禁带宽度减小。

在理想条件下,为了研究等离子体参数、填充率、入射角度和介质层相对介电常数对一维三元磁化等离子体光子晶体的禁带特性的影响,用由传输矩阵法计算得到的TE波任意角度入射时的左旋极化波(LCP)和右旋极化波(RCP)的透射系数来研究其禁带特性。结果表明,仅增加等离子体碰撞频率不能实现禁带宽度的拓展,改变等离子体频率、填充率和介质层的相对介电常数能实现对禁带宽度和数目的调谐。改变等离子体回旋频率能实现对右旋极化波的禁带的调谐,但对左旋极化波的禁带几乎无影响。入射角度的增大使得禁带低频区域带宽变大,而高频区域带宽则是将先减小再增大。     

含负折射率材料的一维“啁啾”光子晶体的透射谱

将"啁啾"函数引入到含负折射率材料的一维光子晶体中,利用转移矩阵法对这种光子晶体的透射谱进行了研究。通过计算模拟了这种光子晶体的透射谱随入射角、频率的变化关系,并计算了这种晶体的复有效折射率的表达式。结果表明,当"啁啾"函数对厚度调制不大时,该晶体具有很宽的反射带,并且反射带对入射角度反应不敏感,其原因是由于其复有效折射率的实部几乎为0,而虚部较大。利用这一特性可以用来制作高品质的宽带全方位反射镜。

Analysis of enlargement of the omnidirectional total reflection band in a special kind of photonic crystal based on the incident angle domain

A special kind of one-dimensional (1D) magnetic photonic crystal (MPC) is investigated. The refractive indices of the alternating layers in such a MPC are equal. As a result, the stop-band edges of TE mode coincide with those of TM mode, and the stop-bands for both modes expand as the incident angle increases. Based on the incident angle domain method, the omnidirectional total reflection (ODTR) band determined by the wave impedance ratio between the composites can be enlarged substantially using a heterostructure in which the stop-band edges of the sub-PCs can be completely adjacent at any incident angle. Moreover, the requirement of ODTR of each sub-PC is unnecessary, which extends the range of materials; that is, the wave impedance ratio between the composites and the refractive index ratio between the composites and the incident media can be much lower than that required in a single periodic structure.     

Omnidirectional reflectance gaps and resonant tunneling effect in a one-dimensional photonic crystal consisting of two metamaterials

We investigate the properties of electromagnetic wave propagating in a one-dimensional photonic crystal (PC) consisting of two metamaterials with different dispersive model. The reflection gaps of metamaterials multilayer system are independent of the incident angle. Not only TE wave but also TM wave, the omnidirectional reflection gaps exhibit the same behavior with different incident angle for metamaterials as double negative material. We also observed that the frequency regimes of zero-transmission bands are different for TE and TM wave with the same incident angle, when one of metamaterials is the permittivity negative (ε < 0) and the other is the double negative. Correspondingly, we show that the result can be act as an efficient polarization splitter. At last, we discuss the resonant tunneling effect. If the total reflection condition is satisfied, the resonant tunneling effect is enhanced as the incident angle increases, even though the propagation wave is evanescent wave in the single layer medium.     

Incident-angle dependence of the longitudinal optic mode and the Doppler effect in silica glass

The infrared reflection spectra of silica glass were monitored at different incident angles of the wave. The density of states (DOS) and frequency ω_LO of the longitudinal optic (LO) mode were found to be the functions of the incident angle. The DOS of the LO mode increases with increasing incident angle as a whole. However, two regions can be divided in which one is below ∼30° and the other is above 30°. The frequency ω_LO of the LO mode increases linearly with incident angle. The earlier proposed relationship between the shifted frequency produced by the Doppler effect and the source frequency of the main transverse optic (TO) mode was investigated by studying the infrared spectra of the annealed glass capillaries. The shifted frequency was found to be linearly proportional to the source frequency of the TO mode, as depicted by the Doppler effect.     

Second Harmonic Generation in 1D Nonlinear Plasma Photonic Crystals

In this paper, a 1D nonlinear plasma photonic crystal (NPPC) structure composed of polarized ferroelectric crystals and nonlinear plasma periodic alternation is proposed. The transfer matrix method is employed to analyze the second harmonic generation (SHG) problem of this structure. In the designed NPPCs, the fundamental wave (FW) operates in the gigahertz (GHz) band and the nonlinear plasma is controlled by an external high-intensity control wave (CW). Numerical simulations are performed to investigate the effects of different incident angles and external CW intensities on the total conversion efficiency (T-con) of the second harmonic wave (SHW). Additionally, the internal electric field distribution and incident light intensity within the nonlinear structure are analyzed. The importance of the relationship between the FW frequency and photonic band gap (PBG) in enhancing SHG is summarized. The results demonstrate that the optimal structure can be obtained by changing the structural parameters, such that the FW and SHW are tuned to the edge of the PBG. At this point, the electromagnetic field density is large, the group velocity is small, the local field is enhanced, and the nonlinear optical interaction is increased, resulting in a significant increase in the T-con of the SHW.     

Graphene-based photonic crystal

A novel type of photonic crystal formed by embedding a periodic array of constituent stacks of alternating graphene and dielectric discs into a background dielectric medium is proposed. The photonic band structure and transmittance of such photonic crystal are calculated. The graphene-based photonic crystals can be used effectively as the frequency filters and waveguides for the far infrared region of electromagnetic spectrum. Due to substantial suppression of absorption of low-frequency radiation in doped graphene the damping and skin effect in the photonic crystal are also suppressed. The advantages of the graphene-based photonic crystal are discussed.     

Optical properties of chiral photonic crystals with linear profiles of modulation parameters

The oblique propagation of light through a layer of chiral photonic crystal (PC) with linear profiles of modulation parameters is considered. The problem is solved by the method of Ambartsumyan layer addition. The wavelength dependences of the amplitude characteristics have been studied at different angles of incidence in two cases, i.e., in a chiral PC with a linear profile of modulation period and a chiral PC with a linear profile of modulation depth. It is shown that the photonic band gap is broadened in both cases and that omnidirectional reflection occurs under certain conditions. The nonreciprocity features are investigated for these two cases and it is shown that a chiral PC with a linear profile of modulation period can operate as an ideal optical diode in a certain frequency range. The features of the effect of change in the modulation parameters on the photon density of states, group velocity, and group velocity dispersion are analyzed. It is shown that, when the modulation parameters change in space, the photon density of states at the photonic band gap edges significantly decreases. It is proposed to use PCs with a spatially changing modulation period can be used to compress (expand) light pulses.     

Spectra of secondary emission during generation of optical harmonics in globular photonic crystals

Secondary emission spectra of globular silica photonic crystals when their surfaces were exposed to laser pulses 250 fs long at a power density to 1 TW/cm² have been studied. Optical harmonics and plasma emission were detected in this case. For the opal matrix containing pores filled with air, in the reflection mode, the third optical harmonic with a conversion efficiency of ～10% arises. The highest conversion efficiency for exciting radiation with wavelengths of 1026 or 513 nm is implemented when the frequencies of the exciting radiation or the second harmonic are near the stop band edge. In globular photonic crystals filled with sodium nitrite or barium titanate ferroelectrics, the second optical harmonic is observed. The exciting radiation conversion efficiency to the second optical harmonic was a few percent and depended on the frequency of exciting radiation and photonic crystal globule diameters. It is found that the plasma emission intensity increases with the exciting radiation power density. The dependences of the intensity of the second and third optical harmonics on the pump intensity are constructed for various photonic crystal globule diameters.     

Band structure of photonic crystal fibers with silica rings in triangular lattice

The characteristics of the cladding band structure of air-core photonic crystal fibers with silica rings in triangular lattice are investigated by using a standard plane wave method. The numerical results show that light can be localized in the air core by the photonic band gaps of the fiber. By increasing the air-filling fraction, the band gap edges of the low frequency photonic band gaps shift to shorter wavelength, whereas the band gap width decreases linearly. In order to make a specified light fall in the low frequency band gaps of the fiber, the interplay of the silica ring spacing and the air-filling fraction is also analyzed. It shows that the silica ring spacing increases monotonously when the air-filling fraction is increased, and the spacing range increases exponentially. This type fiber might have potential in infrared light transmission.
