VHF波段超窄带超导滤波器的设计及其时域调谐

低频超窄带滤波器要求谐振器间的耦合极弱,设计受到薄膜面积限制,其性能对基片介电常数的均匀性极为敏感且受制作和封装精度的限制.这些因素将导致的滤波器中心频率偏移和带内性能恶化.对此,时域调谐提供了很好的解决途径.我们采用嵌套双螺旋型谐振器,在37mm×12mm的MgO基片上设计制作了4节超导滤波器,中心频率为166.9 MHz,相对带宽仅为0.29%.由于基片厚度或介电常数的偏差及不均匀性会导致滤波器中各谐振的谐振频率偏移,使通带性能受到很大影响.我们提出了将机械调谐与时域分析相结合的方法,通过机械调谐纠正各谐振器的谐振频率,改善滤波器性能.同时为了解决多信道滤波器系统中,各滤波器工作于同一温度下,系统频率一致性问题,通过时域调谐获得频率可调范围信息.对上述0.5 MHz带宽的VHF波段滤波器应用时域调谐方法,得到的可调范围为0.7 MHz,测试结果表明该滤波器具有优异性能,带内插损小于0.4 dB,反射损耗达到14.8 dB,带外抑制大于-70 dB.

Highly selective terahertz optical frequency comb generator

Using a 10.5-GHz resonant electro-optic modulator placed inside a resonant optical cavity, we generated an optical frequency comb with a span wider than 3 THz. The optical resonator consists of three mirrors, with the output coupler being a thin Fabry-Perot cavity with a free spectral range of 2 THz and a finesse of 400. Tuning this filter cavity onto resonance with a particular high-order sideband permits efficient output coupling of the desired sideband power from the comb generator, while keeping all other sidebands inside for continued comb generation. This spectrally pure output light was then heterodyne detected by another laser with a frequency offset of the order of 1 THz.

Fabry–Pérot filter cavities for wide-spaced frequency combs with large spectral bandwidth

We use low-finesse Fabry–Pérot cavities in series to generate frequency combs with a large mode spacing in a way that allows its application to a large optical bandwidth. The attenuation of laser modes closest to the pass bands of the cavity exceeds 70 dB for a filter ratio of m=20 relative to the resonant modes centered within the pass bands. We also identify the best cavity geometry to suppress spurious transmission of higher order transversal modes. Such a thinned out frequency comb can be used to calibrate traditional spectrographs for precision astronomy. In the time domain mode filtering generates a pulse train with a multiplied repetition rate. High-fidelity filtering, as described here, implies small variations of the pulse energies.     

An ultra-small cavity resonator loaded with LHM and RHM layers

In this paper, an ultra-small cavity resonator (USCR) loaded with left-handed metamaterial (LHM) and right-handed material (RHM) layers is designed using a novel miniaturization approach. The resonant behavior is successfully observed, and the dimensions of the USCR are only 4.58 mm × 5.08 mm × 2.29 mm at the dominant resonance frequency of 10.3 GHz. Through the field distribution calculation, we confirmed that the miniaturization of the USCR arises from the left-handed property of the LHM. For a practical application, a miniaturized filter with overall length of 10.19 mm consisting of two USCRs is designed to confirm the frequency-selective characteristics. Results show that the filter has some narrow pass bands, which correspond to the resonant modes of the electromagnetic resonance in the USCR, and the insertion loss at the dominant resonance frequency of the USCR is as low as 0.65 dB. Moreover, the filtering characteristics of the filter can be controlled by changing its feeding loop positions in the USCR. PACS 78.70.Gq; 81.05.Zx; 84.40.Ba     

Dynamically tunable terahertz passband filter based on metamaterials integrated with a graphene middle layer

The dynamic tunability of a terahertz(THz) passband filter was realized by changing the Fermi energy(E_F) of graphene based on the sandwiched structure of metal-graphene-metal metamaterials(MGMs). By using plane wave simulation, we demonstrated that the central frequency( f_0) of the proposed filter can shift from 5.04 THz to 5.71 THz; this shift is accompanied by a 3 dB bandwidth(? f) decrease from 1.82 THz to 0.01 THz as the EFincreases from 0 to 0.75 eV.Additionally, in order to select a suitable control equation for the proposed filter, the curves of ? f and f_0 under different graphene EFwere fitted using five different mathematical models. The fitting results demonstrate that the Dose Resp model offers accurate predictions of the change in the 3 dB bandwidth, and the Quartic model can successfully describe the variation in the center frequency of the proposed filter. Moreover, the electric field and current density analyses show that the dynamic tuning property of the proposed filter is mainly caused by the competition of two coupling effects at different graphene EF, i.e., graphene-polyimide coupling and graphene-metal coupling. This study shows that the proposed structures are promising for realizing dynamically tunable filters in innovative THz communication systems.

Experimental results of a high Q quasioptical reflection cavity

A quasi-optical reflection cavity intended to be used as the resonant load of a submillimeter wavelength oscillator has been designed, constructed, and tested. The resonator consists of three elements in cascade: a high Q, high finesse folded Fabry-Perot resonator, a lower Q, low finesse Fabry-Perot resonator, and a Littrow mounted diffraction grating. The resonator exhibits a Q of 6600 and 2.5 dB of loss at 63 GHz. The design can be scaled to 1 THz, where waveguide structures become impractical, to serve as the resonator for high frequency quantum well resonant tunneling device oscillators.     

High-birefringence hollow-core anti-resonant THz fiber

A novel high-birefringence hollow-core anti-resonant THz fiber is proposed in this paper. This fiber has a simple structure which consists of only ten Topas tubes. High birefringence is achieved by introducing two large tubes. The first two resonant frequencies are 1.44 and 2.88 THz by fixing tube thickness at 0.09 mm, which makes two low-loss transmission windows exist in the frequency range from 0.8 to 3.0 THz. The lowest loss is 2.10 dB/m occurring at 1.2 THz in the first transmission window and 1.68 dB/m at 2.34 THz in the second transmission window. By optimizing the structure parameters, high birefringence above 7 × 10^?4 in the frequency range from 1.0 to 1.24 THz are obtained. The highest birefringence is up to 8.7 × 10^?4 at 1.04 THz. Birefringence can be further increased to the order of 10^?3 by adjusting the structure parameters at the cost of loss increasing and the bandwidth decreasing. In addition, bent performance of this fiber is also discussed. In addition, this fiber can keep good performance when it is bent for x-direction. At the bend radius of 15 cm, the loss and birefringence has a more slightly change in the first transmission window than the second transmission window. The first transmission window own much better bent-insensitive characteristics.     

A flexible wideband bandpass terahertz filter using multi-layer metamaterials

We make a flexible wideband bandpass filter at terahertz (THz) frequencies using multi-layer metamaterials. A very flat response in the passband can be obtained since the Fabry–Perot reflection inside the rigid substrate is eliminated. The center frequency is about 0.89 THz with a 3 dB bandwidth of 0.69 THz for normal incidence. The sharp band-edge transitions are 53 and 70 dB/THz to the rejection bands, respectively. The measured average insertion loss is 1.4 dB with a ripple of 0.8 dB. Furthermore, the transmission feature is insensitive to the polarization of incident wave due to the symmetric structure of the unit cell of the metamaterials. Also, it has a small change as the increase of the curvature of the flexible substrate. This result manifests that the multi-layer metamaterials can provide an effective way to design wideband THz devices.
