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。

Investigation of the properties of extraordinary mode in three-dimensional magnetized plasma photonic crystals with diamond lattices as Voigt effects are considered

In this paper, the properties of extraordinary mode for two types of three-dimensional magnetized plasma photonic crystals (3D MPPCs) composed of homogeneous dielectric and magnetized plasma with diamond lattices are theoretically investigated for electromagnetic (EM) wave based on a modified plane wave expansion (PWE) method, as Voigt effects are considered. As EM wave propagates in such 3D MPPCs, the EM wave can be divided in two modes due to the influence of Lorentz force. One is named extraordinary mode and another is ordinary mode. The equations for calculating the dispersive relationships for extraordinary mode as propagating through two types of structures (dielectric spheres immersed in magnetized plasma background or vice versa), are theoretically deduced. The influences of dielectric constant of dielectric, plasma collision frequency, filling factor, the external magnetic field and plasma frequency on the properties of extraordinary mode for both types of MPPCs are investigated in detail, respectively, and some corresponding physical explanations are also given. From the numerical results, it has been shown that not only the locations but also bandwidths and relative bandwidths of the photonic band gaps obtained by extraordinary mode for both types of 3D MPPCs can be manipulated by plasma frequency, filling factor, the external magnetic field and the relative dielectric constant of dielectric, respectively. However, the plasma collision frequency has no effect on the frequency ranges and relative bandwidths of PBGs for two types of 3D MPPCs. The locations of flatbands regions cannot be tuned by any parameters except for plasma frequency and the external magnetic field.     

二维色散和各向异性磁化等离子体光子晶体色散特性研究

采用平面波展开法和时域有限差分法研究了二维色散和各向异性磁化等离子体光子晶体的色散特性.当波矢在周期平面时,由于外加磁场的作用使TE模的色散曲线出现两个不同区域的平带,改变磁场的大小不但可以控制平带的位置,而且可以控制光子带隙的位置和大小.增大背景材料的介电常数,可以形成全方向光子带隙,随着背景材料介电常数的增加,带隙的中心位置降低但带隙宽度增加.当波矢偏离周期平面时,色散曲线不再分为TE和TM模,随着非周期平面波矢的增加,带隙位置上移,带隙宽度先增加随后基本保持不变.     

具有复介电常量二维光子晶体的特性研究

采用平面波展开法,通过数值模拟研究了具有复介电常量的二维光子晶体的能带结构和光传输特性,重点讨论介电常量的虚部为负值情形时对传输特性的影响。研究表明由于光子带隙的存在有效地抑制了频率位于带隙内光的自发辐射。当在介质中掺入具有增益特性的杂质时,即使两种介质的介电常量相差很小,在靠近光子带隙边缘,出现了较强的受激辐射放大。通常在带隙的边缘处,光子晶体的群速度较小,而激光阈值正比于群速度的平方,当群速度很小时,激光阈值将大大减小。这为实现零阈值激光器提供了基础,也为制作光放大微器件提供了一个有益的理论参考。     

Anomalous dispersion in one-dimensional plasma photonic crystals

The anomalous dispersion in one-dimensional plasma photonic crystals (1-DPPCs) is studied. The width of band pass and band gap are compressed, the phase velocity decreases and the cup-off frequency comes close to the frequency of plasma when EM wave oblique incidence on 1-DPPCs. The band gaps are affected by the thickness of plasma, the dielectric constant of the dielectric material, the plasma density and the angle of incidence. Superluminal negative group velocity is discovered in this study. This character is interesting for scientists and may have a potential application.     

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.     

二维点缺陷正方光子晶体的微腔结构

通过平面波展开法对由Al₂O₃介质棒在空气背景介质中构成含有点缺陷的二维正方光子晶体微腔结构进行研究,计算得出缺陷态能带以及缺陷态模场分布。缺陷模对应的电磁波波长为470~476nm。对该微腔结构的品质因数的求解,得出缺陷态光谱曲线。在光谱曲线中,随着传输波长的增大,将产生几个峰值,并且在475nm处的波动最为明显,反映出在475nm附近的电磁波段在缺陷处的光强较大。进一步利用全矢量等效折射率法研究该结构缺陷模频率的稳定性,得出等效折射率的变化曲线。从等效折射率变化曲线可以看出,当传输波长达到475nm时,该结构已经达到稳定传输的区域。含缺陷模的二维光子晶体微腔结构在光子晶体发光二极管以及高阈值半导体激光器等方面有着重要的应用价值。     

Anisotropic photonic crystals: Generalized plane wave method and dispersion symmetry properties

This article presents a generalized vector plane wave expansion method, applicable to isotropic and anisotropic periodic dielectric media of arbitrary geometry and dimension. The influence of anisotropic material orientation on the symmetry properties of photonic crystal dispersion surface is discussed. It is shown that the overall Brillouin zone symmetry is formed by the intersection of the photonic crystal lattice symmetry and the symmetry determined by the anisotropic material orientation. This work explains how to define the irreducible Brillouin zone of a two-dimensional anisotropic photonic crystal and demonstrates that doing it correctly allows one to avoid erroneous results, when calculating band gap diagrams of anisotropic photonic crystals. With the help of the methods presented, the possibility of controlling the band gaps of anisotropic photonic crystals by means of external electric field is shown.     

电磁波在周期介质中的传播及二维光子晶体的光子带结构

光子晶体是光学与凝聚态物理交叉的新领域,也是近年来应用物理学的一个重要研究领域,它是一种由介电常数高的(低的)介质在另一种介电常数低的(高的)背景介质中周期排列所组成的人造多维周期结构材料,能够产生光子带隙。频率落在带隙内的光在晶体里沿任何方向都不能传播,因而具有能够抑制原子、分子的自发辐射等诱人的光电子学特性,在基础研究和实际应用上都有着巨大的潜力。本文在这一领域里进行了富有成效的研究,获得了很好的结果。主要有:(1)利用平面波展开方法来计算二维光子晶体的带隙结构。首先,我们设计正方晶胞的二维光子晶体模型。设x₃方向为介质柱的轴方向,二维周期结构在x₁-x₂平面上。晶胞的晶格常数为a,半径为r,介质柱和空气柱的介电常数分别为ε_a=17和ε_b=1,a>2r。设计的核心思想是通过降低光子晶体结构的对称性,消除光子能带在晶体的布里渊区高对称点上的本征简并。(2)对于二维光子晶体的电磁波理论及周期介质中的Bloch波解做了详细的推导,给出了光子晶体中禁带存在的理论依据。同时以正方格子晶格的二维光子晶体为例,验证了电介质在空气圆孔中的排列存在E偏振和H偏振的光子带隙重叠区,称为绝对光子带隙。对于二维的光子晶体,两种本征偏振模式的光子能带结构可以独立地调节,以实现两者的光子带隙的最优重叠, 从而大大提高了二维光子晶体的完全带隙宽度。     

Applications of the expanded basis method to study the properties of photonic crystals with frequency-dependent dielectric functions and dielectric losses

Band structures of two-dimensional photonic crystals (PCs) made of polar material with frequency-dependent dielectric constant are calculated by using an expanded basis method. The effect of the polariton gap (PG) of polar material on the photonic band gaps (PBGs) is explored. It is found that the PBGs are significantly modified near the PG, where the abrupt change of the dielectric constant appears. The feature of electromagnetic (EM) field is revealed when the frequency is located in the flat band. We display the equifrequency-surface configuration of the localized field and the spacial distributions of field. We observe the existence of several equi-ω curves for a specified frequency and the localized field distribution exhibiting various different patterns, dependent of the mode index. We also study the influence of the dielectric losses of the polar material on dispersion and find that the change of the real part of the Bloch wave vector is crucially related to the real part of the dielectric constant and the attenuated length is determined by its imaginary part.

Band gap extension in honeycomb lattice two-dimensional plasma photonic crystals in the presence of dissipation

We investigate two types of honeycomb lattice two-dimensional plasma photonic crystals that possess large photonic band gaps in the presence of dissipation. We obtain a clear insight into the band structures and find imaginary parts of the eigenvalue band structure at the symmetry points display discontinuous behaviour when the filling factor of plasma in type-1 structure is low. Further more, we show how the photonic band gaps are affected by the normalized plasma frequency, radius of cylinder, dielectric constant and collision frequency. Our results demonstrate the band gap extension by increasing normalized plasma frequency in both type structures and radius of plasma cylinders in type-1 structure. The width of band gaps could also be enlarged by decreasing dielectric cylinder's radius. The bands shift toward lower frequencies when relative dielectric constant increases in both two types. These results may provide theoretical instructions to design new optoelectronic devices.

Three-dimensional simulation of Ka-band relativistic Cherenkov source with metal photonic-band-gap structures

This paper presents a three-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation of a Ka-band relativistic Cherenkov source with a slow wave structure (SWS) consisting of metal photonic band gap (PBG) structures. In the simulation, a perfect match layer boundary is employed to absorb passing band modes supported by the PBG lattice with an artificial metal boundary. The simulated axial field distributions in the cross section and surface of the SWS demonstrate that the device operates in the vicinity of the π point of a TM01-like mode. The Fourier transformation spectra of the axial fields as functions of time and space show that only a single frequency appears at 36.27 GHz, which is in good agreement with that of the intersection of the dispersion curve with the slow space charge wave generated on the beam. The simulation results demonstrate that the SWS has good mode selectivity.
