基于十字连通形环形谐振腔金属-介质-金属波导的折射率传感器和滤波器

提出了由十字连通形环形谐振腔耦合两个金属-介质-金属(metal-insulator-metal, MIM)波导的结构,并用有限元法数值研究了表面等离极化激元在结构中的传输特性.通过对透射谱的研究,系统地分析了MIM结构的传感特性.结果表明,在透射光谱中有三个共振峰,即存在三种共振模式,其中透射峰与材料的折射率呈线性关系.通过对结构参数的优化,得到了折射率灵敏度(S)高达1500 nm/RIU的理论值,相应的传感分辨率为1.33×10~(-4)RIU.更重要的是,灵敏度不受结构参数变化的影响,这意味着传感器的灵敏度不受制造偏差的影响.此外,谐振波长与环形腔中心半径成线性关系,该器件在较大波长范围内实现可调谐带通滤波.透射强度随着波导与环形腔间距的增大而减小,透射带宽同时减小,因此,可以通过控制环形腔与波导的耦合距离来调谐透射强度及透射带宽.研究结果对高灵敏度纳米级折射率传感器和带通滤波器的设计以及在生物传感器方面的应用都具有一定的指导意义.

一种新型可调制的光子晶体环形腔滤波器

在光子晶体环形腔中增加两个散射介质柱,构成一个新型的环形腔滤波器,该滤波器能有效选择光波透过,光波的透射率可以达到90%以上,带宽较小.可通过这两种不同的调节方式使滤波器中波长的带宽和数值进行任意的改变:1)减小散射介质柱半径,从负载波导输出波长的带宽变大,主波导中波长的带宽减小;增大其半径时,它们的变化正好相反.2)改变耦合区域介质柱半径的大小,滤波器中波长的数值也会相应地变化,它与介质柱半径的变化呈正比,并且透射率也会发生明显的变化.这就为其在制备集成光子器件的应用中奠定了基础. 关键词： 环形腔 滤波器 散射介质柱 透射率     

基于LiNbO_3的长周期波导光栅可调谐耦合器的设计

设计了一种基于LiNbO_3的长周期波导光栅可调谐耦合器.该耦合器利用长周期光栅的独有特性将输入波导的导模经包层模耦合至输出波导导模.由于LiNbO_3的电光效应,波导光栅芯层与包层的有效折射率随外加电压变化,从而耦合器的谐振波长及耦合效率可由外加电压调谐.分析了光栅周期与耦合器的长度对耦合器带宽和耦合效率调谐范围的影响,以及波导尺寸对谐振波长调谐灵敏度的影响.结果表明光栅周期越短,耦合器长度越长,则耦合器的带宽越窄,耦合效率调谐范围也越大.此外,谐振波长调谐灵敏度随波导宽度的增加而减小,而波导厚度对谐振波长调谐灵敏度的影响可以忽略.对光栅周期为94μm、长度为3.52cm的耦合器进行仿真,结果表明,谐振波长灵敏度为26.2pm/V,3dB带宽可达4.5nm,当外加电压从0变化到200V时,谐振波长变化5.24nm,耦合效率可在1到0.15之间进行调谐.

Photonic microring resonator modulated resonance response analysis

This paper presents the resonance response analysis of a photonic microring resonator. It covers the mathematical as well as simulation analysis on the modulated signals. The mathematical formulation provides a relation of several microring resonator parameters that could potentially affect the ring resonator performances. The simulation shows a graphical representation of the ring resonator full-width at half-max, quality factor (Q-factor) as well as the depth of the resonance at different modulation voltages applied to the ring. Several parameters have also been altered which is the ring radius, the coupling coefficient of the waveguides as well as the waveguide material group index. With this investigation, we determine the possible cause of the change in Q factor of a silicon microring resonator when the resonance is modulated and the possible solution to minimize the problem.     

The narrow band THz filter in metallic photonic crystal slab framework: Design and investigation

A band pass THz filter has been presented by the aid of coupling between the waveguides and ring resonator based on metallic photonic crystal slab. The rows of rods are missed and remaining rods in the rows play as a reflector then the position of central rods are rearranged as a ring, the radius of reflector rods and ring resonator is modified in order to optimize the resonance frequency and Q-factor. In addition, 3D-FDTD method is used for simulation results. One of the predominant features of the proposed structure for THz filter is its capability of obtaining a Q-factor of about 333 in the 1 THz resonance frequency with the normalized peak transmission of higher than 0.7, because of high Q-factor cavity based on ring resonator.     

Theoretical study on biosensing characteristics of heterostructure photonic crystal ring resonator

In this paper, we investigate the biosensing characteristics of two-dimensional heterostructure photonic crystals (PCs) ring resonator theoretically by using the finite difference time domain (FDTD). The coupling air holes and inner air holes of ring resonator are treated as coupled sensing area and internal sensing area. When both of the sensing areas are filled with the same biological samples solution, the resonant peak wavelength shift of the ring resonance is different. Both the resonant peak center wavelength and peak intensity are related to the positions of sensing holes. With the same refractive index change of the biological sample, the sensing sensitivity of the coupling sensing area is much higher than that of the inner sensing area. Meanwhile, through the analysis of resonant peak wavelength shift, the refractive index change of the sample filled in the sensor area can be derived, which can be monitored real-time.     

Ultracompact plasmonic racetrack resonators in metal-insulator-metal waveguides

Among various plasmonic waveguides, the metal-insulator-metal (MIM) type is the most promising for true subwavelength photonic integration. To date, many photonic devices based on MIM waveguides have been investigated, including resonators. However, most of the reported MIM ring resonators suffer from low extinction ratios and the reasons are unexplored in the literature. In this paper, we present a comprehensive analysis of the underlying causes of the low performance of MIM ring resonators, and give the analytical transmission relation for a universal all-pass ring resonator with coupling loss. Based on the analysis we propose plasmonic racetrack resonators in MIM waveguides and show that the performance can be greatly improved.

Tunable plasmonic filter with circular metal–insulator– metal ring resonator containing double narrow gaps

Tunable filter based on two metal–insulator–metal (MIM) waveguides coupled to each other by a ring resonator with double narrow gaps is designed and numerically investigated by finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. The propagating modes of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are studied. By introducing narrow gaps in ring resonators, the transmission in different resonance modes can be effectively adjusted by changing the gap width (g), and the transmitted peak wavelength has a nonlinear relationship with g. Another structure consisting two cascading ring resonators and regular MIM waveguide have also been proposed. The mechanism based on circular ring resonators with narrow gaps may provide a novel method for designing all-optical integrated components in optical communication and computing.
