波导基本结构对光子晶体耦合腔光波导慢光特性的影响

研究了二维光子晶体耦合腔波导的结构对慢光特性的影响,发现微腔间的距离n、填充因子r/a和缺陷柱的尺寸rd是影响光子晶体禁带中慢光导模传输特性的重要参数。随着缺陷微腔间距离的增加,导模群速度vg急剧减小;当填充因子和缺陷柱尺寸增加时,导模向低频方向移动,同时,导模群速度降低;填充因子和缺陷柱尺寸降到一定数值后,vg达到最小值,此后,当r和rd分别超出其特定值继续增大,导模群速度反而增大。取微腔之间介质柱个数为6,普通介质柱尺寸为r=0.22a,a为光子晶体晶格常数,缺陷柱尺寸为rd=0.12a,得到导模群速度最大值vgmax1.93×10-3c,带边处vg10-4c(c为光速)。这一结果显示,通过基本结构设计可以实现对光子晶体耦合腔光波导中慢光的有效控制,这将为基于光子晶体功能器件的设计和应用提供有效的支持。

A novel architecture of ultracompact pulse position modulator in photonic crystals

We propose and analyze a novel photonic crystal pulse position modulator utilizing a coupled cavity waveguide delay line. Also, a nonlinear photonic crystal directional coupler is used as an all-optical switch in the proposed structure. The input data acts as the control signal of the switch and activates the switching operation. We show that the device size can be reduced significantly by designing the delay line to achieve a reduced group velocity and a quasi-flat impurity band. The size of the designed modulator is 32a × 16a, where a represents the lattice constant of the photonic crystal. The characteristics of the device are investigated by finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) and plane wave expansion (PWE) methods.     

Photonic Scattering on a Trimer with <Emphasis Type="Italic">PT</Emphasis>-Symmetry

We analyze photonic scattering on a trimer with PT symmetry, where the photon propagates in an array of cavities. In the system, a passive and an active cavity couple to another cavity without loss and gain simultaneously, which is in the middle of the cavity array. Such three cavities can be regarded as the scattering target coupling to the unlimited number of cavities from two directions respectively. Our approach is to use the Schrödinger equation to calculate the reflection coefficient and transmission coefficient, and then let photonic transmission spreads from gain or loss cavity. It shows that the scattering of the photon is closely associated with the PT symmetric characteristic of the dynamics of the system. The atom’s modulation on the photonic transmission is also investigated. We found that the scattering center can behave as a photonic switch, which could be used potentially to control the photonic transmission.     

Low group velocity in a photonic crystal coupled-cavity waveguide

A two-dimensional photonic crystal coupled-cavity waveguide is designed and optimized, the transmission spectrum is calculated by using the finite-difference time-domain method, and the group velocity of c/1856 is obtained. To our knowledge, this value of group velocity is the lowest group velocity in a photonic crystal waveguide calculated from its transmission spectrum so far. The result is confirmed by the photonic band structure calculated by using the plane wave expansion method, and it is found that the photonic crystal waveguide modes in a photonic band structure are in accordance with those in the transmission spectrum by using the finite-difference time-domain method. The mechanism of slow light in the coupled-cavity waveguide of photonic crystal is analysed.

Diatoms as living photonic crystals

We present an analysis of the optical structure of a representative diatom, Coscinodiscus granii. The silica cell wall can be regarded as a photonic crystal slab waveguide with moderate refractive-index contrast. In a cell, at least two different patterns are found: a hexagonal array of pores with a large lattice constant in the valve, and a square array of holes with a small lattice constant in the girdle. It is demonstrated that light can be coupled into the waveguide and that there are some photonic resonances in the visible spectral range, which have been determined by band-structure calculations.

Propagation of light through localized coupled-cavity modes in one-dimensional photonic band-gap structures

We report on the observation of a new type of propagation mechanism through evanescent coupled optical cavity modes in one-dimensional photonic crystals. The crystal is fabricated from alternating silicon-oxide/silicon-nitride pairs with silicon-oxide cavity layers. We achieved nearly full transmission throughout the guiding band of the periodic coupled cavities within the photonic band gap. The tight-binding (TB) parameter κ is determined from experimental results, and the dispersion relation, group velocity and photon lifetime corresponding to the coupled-cavity structures are analyzed within the TB approximation. The measurements are in good agreement with transfer-matrix-method simulations and predictions of the TB photon picture.

Optimized design for 2 × 10 ultra-high Q silicon photonic crystal cavities

We propose an optimized design for the measurement in transmission of photonic crystal width-modulated line-defect cavities. By controlling the number of holes and rows that separate the cavity from the coupling waveguides, the measured quality factor of the cavity can be tuned to be close to the unloaded one. In the case of a weakly coupled cavity, we measure an ultra-high quality factor that reaches a value of 2 × 10⁶. This value is not obtained for the largest spacing but for an intermediate one. This counter-intuitive result is supported by 3D-FDTD modeling.     

一维光子晶体中多缺陷耦合导致的杂质带

利用传输矩阵方法研究了包含多个周期性分布的缺陷的一维光子晶体的透射谱.以33个周期的1/4波堆存在5个缺陷的光子晶体为例作了数值计算.结果表明,在周期性光子晶体中加入多个缺陷时,将在截止带中产生多个缺陷模.这些缺陷模构成的杂质能带依赖于缺陷在晶体中的分布.当缺陷密集时,缺陷模耦合较强,杂质带中透射峰相距较远,它们对应禁带中许多分立定域的杂质能级;当缺陷稀疏时,缺陷模耦合较弱,透射峰相距较近,分立的杂质能级趋于简并,由此形成一个很窄的通带.
