Angular tuning of defect modes spectrum in the one-dimensional photonic crystal with liquid-crystal layer

A one-dimensional ZrO₂/SiO₂ photonic crystal with a 4-n -pentyl-4' -cyanobiphenyl (5CB) nematic defect layer was used to investigate the transmission spectra of light polarized parallel and perpendicular to the liquid-crystal director at different angles of incidence. The spectra of the photonic crystal were shown to split into four polarized components T_ij at oblique incidence. When the incident angle increased, the bandgap edges and the defect modes shifted towards short wavelengths, while the amplitudes of the defect modes increased for the transverse magnetic polarization and decreased for the transverse electric polarization. The observed discrepancy between the defect mode amplitudes in the center and near the edges of the photonic bandgap was found to be related to the radiation losses inside the defect layer of a non-ideal photonic crystal. The simulated transmission spectra obtained using recurrence relations and taking into account the decay of defect modes are in good agreement with the experimental data.

Confinement in a planar waveguide with porous silicon omnidirectional mirrors as confining walls

We present the design and study of waveguide structures based on porous silicon where the light confinement is not due to the usual total reflection effect but to the use of photonic crystals (PCs) as confining walls. These PC are omnidirectional mirrors (OMs), consisting of the periodic repetition of two porous silicon layers with different refractive indices and thicknesses. They reflect the radiation for all angles of incidence within a frequency range called the omnidirectional band gap (OBG). We have followed the PC formalism to investigate the properties of the OM as a multimode waveguide: the number of modes within the band gap, their field spatial distribution and their confinement as a function of the frequency and the core thickness.     

Position Dependent Spontaneous Emission Spectra of a Λ-Type Atomic System Embedded in a Defective Photonic Crystal

We investigate the position dependent spontaneous emission spectra of a Λ-type three-level atom with one transition coupled to the free vacuum reservoir and the other one coupled to a double-band photonic band gap reservoir with a defect mode in the band gap.It is shown that,for the atom at the defect location,we have a two-peak spectrum with a wide dark line due to the strong coupling between the atom and the defect mode.While,when the atom is far from the defect location(or in the absence of the defect mode),the spectrum has three peaks with two dark lines due to the coupling between the atom and the photonic band gap reservoir with the largest density of states near the band edges.On the other hand,we have a four-peak spectrum for the atom at the space in between.Moreover,the average spontaneous emission spectra of the atoms uniformly embedded in high dielectric or low dielectric regions are described.It is shown that the atoms embedded in high(low) dielectric regions far from the defect location,effectively couple to the modes of the lower(upper) photonic band.However,the atoms embedded in high dielectric or low dielectric regions at the defect location,are coupled mainly to the defect modes.While,the atoms uniformly embedded in high(low) dielectric regions with a normal distance from the defect location,are coupled to both of defect and lower(upper) photonic band modes.     

基于量子阱效应的光开关

把三块各带有一个缺陷的光子晶体结合起来,如果中央晶体的缺陷模处在两侧晶体的禁带中,缺陷模内的光波会受到两侧晶体的阻碍并被局域在中央晶体内,形成量子阱结构;若一侧晶体的缺陷模被移动到中央晶体缺陷模处,则只有一侧晶体阻碍在中央晶体缺陷模内传播的光波,量子阱效应完全消失,光的传输受到最大程度的阻碍.这种结构可同时具有窄带滤波器和光开关的功能,据此提出了一种高效的、灵敏的光开关的设计.采用传输矩阵法计算了一维光子晶体的透射谱和场分布.     

Properties of the defect mode in one-dimensional ferroelectric Si/C60 photonic crystals

In the present paper, a novel photonic crystal (PC) defect mode is designed by inserting a ferroelectric material layer (LiNbO₃) into Si/C₆₀ one-dimensional PCs. The band structure of the ferroelectric PCs is numerically analyzed by the transfer matrix method (TMM). The width of the photonic band gap increases by 80 nm and a defect mode appears at a central wavelength of 680 nm when a 150 nm LiNbO₃ layer is inserted into the Si/C₆₀ PC structure. The defect mode in the band gap shifts linearly with the change in electric field. The defect mode shifts by 11.2 nm toward shorter wavelengths when the thin film is subjected to a DC voltage of 1 KV.     

镧系氧化物光子晶体自组装与自发辐射调制

光子晶体是介电常数(折射率)随光波长大小周期性巨大变化的人工晶体。光子晶体的诞生使人类操控光子由梦想成为现实。光子晶体结构对置于光子晶体中的荧光客体自发辐射速率和荧光强度具有重要的调制作用。与半导体晶格对电子波函数的调制相类似,光子带隙材料能够调制具有相应波长的电磁波——当电磁波在光子带隙材料中传播时,由于存在布拉格散射而受到调制,电磁波能量形成能带结构。能带与能带之间出现带隙,即光子带隙。所具能量处在光子带隙内的光子,不能进入该晶体。本文将在综述这一领域国际上的重要研究进展基础上,重点介绍本课题组在镧系氧化物三维晶体的自组装与光子带隙对稀土离子自发辐射调制方面的研究成果。

光子晶体中的磁控光子开关线路

提出了一个光子晶体中的磁控光子开关线路的理论模型,并利用平面波展开加超原胞方法计算了它的光学性质.这个模型由设置在空气中的介电柱子光子晶体构成,其中一排柱子被具有同样介电常数的铁氧体柱子替换.当外加磁场时,铁氧体柱子产生了不等于一的磁导率,这就会在光子带隙中产生波导模.当撤去外场,整个体系还原为完美光子晶体.由此便可形成磁控光子开关线路.具体选择了正方形柱子设置在正方形格点上,计算结果证明这种设想是可行的,并给出一些有价值的结果. 关键词： 光子晶体 传导模 磁导率     

正方介质柱光子晶体中异常传输现象研究

研究了电磁波在二维正方介质柱光子晶体中的传输,发现处于第一频带部分带隙的电磁波在不同界面切割方向上不同角度入射时可分别产生全反射及复杂异常折射现象如自准直现象、负折射现象.首先利用平面波展开法从理论上研究正方介质柱正方晶格光子晶体的频带结构及等频线,然后通过时域有限差分法来仿真研究光子晶体在第一频带部分带隙的传输特性.当光子晶体的界面切割沿着ΓX方向时,由于光子晶体内无本征模能够被有效地激发,入射波束被完全反射,这与光子带隙导致的全反射具有本质的不同;当光子晶体的界面切割方向沿着ΓM时,归因于其扁平的等频线,一定角度范围内入射的波束在光子晶体内几乎沿同方向传输即产生自准直现象.

Light confinement in 3D silicon doped with germanium (n-SixGe1−x) and silicon-on-insulator (SOI) photonic crystal structures

The numerical investigation of photonic band gaps (PBGs) for three-dimensional (3D) photonic crystals (PCs) of silicon doped with germanium (n-Si_xGe_1−x) and silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structures has been illustrated. The effect of germanium-doping (Ge-doping) concentration on the vertical confinement of the light and the band gap size has been presented. A 3D full vectorial plane wave was developed and employed to investigate design parameters of the 3D PC structure and to calculate dispersion relation for guided modes. Calculations of band structures for the triangular lattices of dielectric cylinders in air for quasi-3D PC structures have been performed.     

Effect of the dielectric background on dispersion characteristics of metallo-dielectric photonic crystals

We theoretically study the effect of the dielectric background in two-dimensional metallo-dielectric photonic crystals. The metallo-dielectric photonic crystal consists of a square lattice of circular metallic rods embedded into a dielectric background. We calculate the photonic band structure by means of the plane wave method and the frequency-dependent finite-difference time-domain method. The transfer matrix method is used to obtain the reflectivity characteristics. Results show that the band structures shift toward lower frequencies and become flatter when the background dielectric constant increases. In addition, degeneracy can be broken and new gaps can be created in function of the dielectric background. We also found that the relative band gap width Δω/ω_g grows with increasing background dielectric constant and widths as large as 42.3% and 13.8% for the second and third band gaps can be achieved for ε_b = 9. We have investigated the origin of the new gap in these structures by studying the electric-field distribution at the band edges for the first five modes.     

Band gap studies of 2D photonic crystals with hybrid scatterers

Two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystals (PCs) of a square lattice with dielectric hybrid rods in air are proposed; these PCs consist of a square rod at the center of the unit cell and additional circular rods with their outermost edges against the middle of each side of the lattice unit cell. The band gap structures of PCs can be tailored and optimized by rotating the square rods and adding circular rods to the lattice unit cell. The variation of bands near the complete photonic band gap boundaries, due to some specific modes, is sensitive to certain structural parameters of the system. The results can be understood by analyzing the spatial energy distribution of the electromagnetic fields. Based on such a field analysis, a novel interpretative model is proposed. The PC can be fabricated easily and operated in the microwave region and, hence, should be suitable for applications in new microwave devices.     

Traveling of light through a 1D photonic crystal containing a defect layer with resonant dispersion

Spectral properties of a 1D photonic crystal that is comprised of two multilayered dielectric mirrors and a nanocomposite layer between them as a structural defect are studied. The nanocomposite consists of silver nanoballs dispersed in a transparent matrix and is characterized by an effective resonant permittivity. The spectral manifestation of the defect mode splitting for the s-polarized waves is studied as a function of the angle of incidence and concentration of nanoballs. Specific features of the transmission spectra for the s- and p-polarized waves are established for the angle of incidence equal to the Brewster angle of the seeding photonic crystal. It is shown, in particular, that, in the region of the continuous transmission spectrum of the spolarized waves, there arises an additional bandgap caused by mixing of the resonant mode with photonic modes.
