Impurity effects in graphene

Polarization-independent and omnidirectional tunable bandpass filters have been proposed and demonstrated. It is seen that a bilayer period structure composed of single-negative materials can act as a tunable filter, which can be changed from a filter with two symmetrical passband to one with a single pass bandpass, or from one with a wide to one with a narrow pass band. Moreover, the proposed filter is insensitive to the incident angle and polarization of light, which is an omnidirectional, polarization-independent filter for incidence angles between 0° to 90°.     

Study on modulation of near infrared radiation based on plasma photonic crystal

In this paper, a plasma photonic crystal (PPC) for infrared radiation modulation which is composed of indium tin oxide (ITO) and plasma is proposed. The performance of plasma photonic crystal in near infrared radiation modulation is researched by transfer matrix method (TMM). The simulation results show that the near infrared radiation pass band can be adjusted by the changing of plasma frequency of plasma. The reflection to near infrared radiation by plasma photonic crystal increases with plasma frequency and that of absorption decreases. In addition, the modulation performance of the plasma photonic crystal at different incidence wave angles is also studied. The results show that the incident wave angles have little effect on the transmission of plasma photonic crystal in near infrared band. The reflection of the plasma photonic crystal to near infrared radiation decreases with increasing of the incident wave angle, but that of the absorption increases with the incident wave angle. Therefore, the proposed plasma photonic crystal has a potential application in tunable near infrared filter devices.     

Super Narrow Bandpass Filter Using Fractal Cantor Structures

In this paper, we present a new photonic crystal structure, which is composed of fractal Cantor multilayer with a defect embedded in its middle. Optical transmission matrix method is used to calculating the transmittance and reflectance. Compared with general Cantor multilayer, we find the new structure has wider stopband and shows a super narrow band in the middle of wider stopband. It can be served as a super narrow bandpass filter. The pass band obtained can be less than 0.6nm near the infrared 1530 nm. The optical transmission is the center wavelength is higher than 99 %. This means a very low insert loss. It is more superior to other kind narrow band filters. This kind of photonic crystal super narrow band optical filter may find applications in super dense wavelength division multiplexing for optical communications and precise optical measurement.     

Photonic crystal narrow filters with two neighboring waveguides and a semiconducting point defect

A tunable filter is demonstrated based on a squared lattice two-dimensional photonic crystal. The filter is formed by a single semiconducting point defect and two neighboring waveguides. Modal properties of the defect modes and the transmittance of the proposed system are analyzed using supercell method and finite difference time domain method, respectively. We show that there is a narrow pass band for each temperature between 218 and 240 Kelvin. The peak of the pass band transmittance and the frequency can be highly tunable with the temperature of an intrinsic semiconducting point defect. Also, we have showed that the frequency and temperature of the desired high transmitted filter do not sensitive on the cavity size.     

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.     

Broadband wave plates: Approach from one-dimensional photonic crystals containing metamaterials

Broadband wave plates working in subwavelength scale are realized by one-dimensional photonic crystals containing negative-index materials. It is demonstrated that the phase shift of reflected wave as a function of frequency changes smoothly within the stop band of the photonic crystal, while it changes sharply within the pass band. In the stop band, the difference between the phase of TE and that of TM reflected wave could remain constant in a rather wide frequency range. These properties are useful for designing compact wave plates or phase retarders which can be used in broad spectral bandwidth.

Slow light transmission in a photonic crystal power splitter with parallel outputs

In this paper, we investigate coupling of light to slow modes in a photonic crystal power splitter composed of a Y-junction and two 60° bends. First, a combination of two cascaded bends which is commonly used in integrated photonic crystal circuits is studied in slow light frequency regime. We propose a structure that its transmission spectrum covers the high group-index frequencies near the band edge. Also, by structural modifications, high transmission near to 95% is achieved in slow light bandwidth. Next, we study the complete structure of a photonic crystal power splitter with parallel outputs based on a Y-junction integrated with two 60° bends. Using modified bends and reducing sharpness of Y-junction, the efficiency of splitting increases in both high and low group-index frequency bands. The optimized structure has an average efficiency of 82% in slow mode regime. This structure can be used in photonic crystal based slow light devices, such as Mach-Zehnder interferometers.

Performance Investigation of Photonic Crystal-Based Microring Resonator for Optical Signal Processing

Abstract

A detailed theoretical analysis is presented to characterize wave propagation at 1,550 nm inside a glass (SiO₂) microring resonator implemented using photonic crystal technology. A photonic crystal reflection is used at each microring resonator corner to enhance the bending efficiency. The characteristics of both photonic crystal beam splitter and microring resonator bending losses are analyzed and investigated using both effective refractive index and finite difference time domain methods. Analytical expressions are also derived to describe the field enhancement inside the microring resonator, the transfer function of the microring resonator, and the main parameters characterizing the resonator such as resonator band width and quality factor. The analysis is also extended to characterize a drop filter implemented using photonic crystal-based microring resonator. The results indicate clearly that the effective refractive index method can give accurate results if one starts the calculations with finite difference time domain-estimated beam splitter parameters. Further, bending efficiency as high as 99% can be obtained using a ten-post layer photonic crystal mirror at each microring resonator corner.

Analysis and optimization of a new photonic crystal filters in near ultraviolet band

Transmission characteristics of one-dimensional (1D) photonic crystals (PCs) heterostructures containing defective are studied using the transfer matrix method. The key is to search the best combination style for different 1D PCs to form heterostructures. It is shown that the non-transmission range over near ultraviolet and visible range can be substantially enlarged and the phenomenon of narrow band PC filter in near ultraviolet can be realized by adjusting the repeat cycle counts of various photonic crystals. The theoretical results on multiple heterostructures containing TiO₂/SiO₂ multilayer films are presented. With a perfect omni-directional and high peak transmission filters for TE modes, this structure opens a promising way to fabricate ultra-narrow band PC filters with wide non-transmission range in near ultraviolet and visible range.
