Zero-averaged refractive-index gaps extension by using photonic heterostructures containing negative-index materials

We show theoretically that the frequency range of the zero-averaged refractive-index gap can be substantially extended in a photonic heterostructure containing negative-index materials. This photonic heterostructure consists of different one-dimensional (1D) photonic crystals. The constituent 1D photonic crystals have to be properly chosen in such a way that their zero-averaged refractive-index gap of the adjacent photonic crystals overlap each other.     

Polarization-independent low-pass spatial filters based on one-dimensional photonic crystals containing negative-index materials

A new application of one-dimensional photonic crystals containing negative-index materials is proposed as low-pass spatial filters. Through optimizing the parameters of defect layer, a series of polarization-independent defect modes in the zero-average-index gap of the photonic crystals are obtained with the increase of the incident angle. Based on these defect modes, polarization-independent low-pass spatial filters are designed. The spatial-frequency bandwidth of the spatial filters can be adjusted by changing the period number of the defective photonic crystal structures. In addition, the effect of the losses of negative-index materials on the spatial filters is considered.     

Photonic quantum-well structures containing negative-index materials

The properties of photonic quantum-well structures containing negative-index materials are studied theoretically, showing features remarkably better than conventional photonic quantum-well structures. Owning to the zero- gap of one-dimensional photonic crystals containing negative-index materials, the photonic quantum-well structures can be proposed as a multiple channeled filter which is very weak dependent on incident angle and polarization, and insensitive to the thickness disorder of the barrier photonic crystals.     

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.

Independently tunable omnidirectional multichannel filters based on the fractal multilayers containing negative-index materials

We propose and demonstrate an independently tunable omnidirectional multichannel filter by combining the advantages of the independently tunable filtering properties of fractal structures and the omnidirectional resonant modes of one-dimensional photonic crystals containing negative-index materials. Compared to the conventional multichannel filters, each channel of the proposed filter can be tuned separately, and the frequency position of the filter is insensitive to the incident angle of light. It thus provides a simple way for designing omnidirectional multichannel filters with specific channels.     

Enhancing coherent nonlinear-optical processes in nonmagnetic backward-wave materials

Novel concepts of nonlinear-optical (NLO) photonic metamaterials (MMs) are proposed. They concern with greatly enhanced coherent NLO energy exchange between ordinary and backward waves (BWs) through the frequency-conversion processes. Two different classes of materials which support BWs are considered: crystals that support optical phonons with negative group velocity and MMs with specially engineered spatial dispersion. The possibility to replace plasmonic NLO MMs enabling magnetic response at optical frequencies, which are very challenging to engineer, by the ordinary readily available crystals, are discussed. The possibility to mimic extraordinary NLO frequency-conversion propagation processes attributed to negative-index MMs (NIMs) is shown in some of such crystals, if optical phonons with negative group velocity and a proper phase-matching geometry are implemented. Here, optical phonons are used as one of the coupled counterparts instead of backward electromagnetic waves (BEMWs). The appearance of BEMWs in metaslabs made of carbon nanotubes, the possibilities and extraordinary properties of BW second harmonic generation in such MMs is another option of nonmagnetic NIMs, which is described too. Among the applications of the proposed photonic materials is the possibility of creation of a family of unique BW photonic devices such as frequency doubling metamirror and Raman amplifiers with greatly improved efficiency.     

Study of optical spectra and thermal shifts of R<Subscript>1</Subscript>-line of LaAlO<Subscript>3</Subscript>:Cr<Superscript>3+</Superscript>

In this paper, multichannel-based quasi-one-dimensional photonic crystal containing negative-index materials is investigated by both numerical simulation and microwave experiments. The relationship between gap properties and the connectivity originated from quasi-one-dimensional geometry is analyzed. The results show that due to the introduced parallel multiple channels large bandgap can be obtained, with total length along propagation direction of photonic crystal unchanged in the mean time. Therefore, multichannel-based quasi-one-dimensional photonic crystal containing negative-index materials may provide more possibilities to the design of compact optic and microwave devices with higher efficiency.     

Subluminal to superluminal pulse propagation through one-dimensional photonic crystals with a three-level atomic defect layer

Propagation of an electromagnetic pulse through one-dimensional photonic crystals with a three- level atomic defect layer is discussed. It is shown that the group velocity of the transmitted pulse can be controlled by the frequency detuning and the width of the defect layer. Moreover, the effects of controlling parameter such as Rabi-frequency on light propagation through one-dimensional photonic crystals are then introduced.     

Spin Hall effect of light in one-dimensional photonic crystal

We established a general propagating model to investigate the spin Hall effect of light in one-dimensional photonic crystal. A polarized (spin dependent) Gaussian beam which was incident obliquely through one-dimensional photonic crystal was demonstrated. Having decomposed a polarized Gaussian beam into different plane wave components charactering individual wave vectors, we revealed the transmission coefficient and reflection coefficient of each plane wave which propagates through the one-dimensional photonic crystal. It enabled us to obtain exact solution to the electric field of transmitted and reflected beams, and the analytical formula of light intensity, accordingly. A method based upon the partial differentials with the intensity distribution of the transmitted and reflected Gaussian beams was presented to determine the transverse and longitude shifts explicitly. Spin dependent shifts in one-dimensional photonic crystal provide alternative evidence for the spin Hall effect of light.
