异质三周期光子晶体的光子带隙特性

利用传输矩阵法研究了由TiO₂和SiO₂两种材料构成的异质三周期一维光子晶体的传光特性,发现该结构能在波长为200~ 2 000 nm的范围内形成7处比较明显的光子带隙,并且波长越大,带隙的宽度越大。重点研究了这种结构的光子晶体的透射谱线与入射角度、介质层数及介质层厚度的关系,发现该结构形成的光子带隙的大小和位置对介质层的循环周期数不敏感,但对入射角度和介质层的厚度很敏感。

Photonic Band Gap Properties of Three-Dimensional SiO2 Photonic Crystals

Three-dimensional SiO2 photonic crystals （PhCs） are fabricated on quartz substrates by the vertical deposition method. Scanning electron microscopy measurement reveals that the samples exhibit an ordered close-packed arrangement of SiO2 spheres. It is found that the position of the [111] photonie band gap （PBG） shifts to a long wavelength （red shift） with increasing sphere size. Gap broadening effects are observed due to the presence of defects in the samples. Moreover, the optical properties of the PBG are very sensitive to the annealing temperature. Our results indicate that the optical properties of the PBG can be easily tuned in the visible region by appropriate experimental parameters, which will be useful for practical applications of PhC optical devices.

Photonic crystal devices

We developed photochemically controlled photonic crystals which may be useful in novel recordable and erasable memories and/or display devices. These materials can operate in the UV, visible or near IR spectral regions. Information is recorded and erased by exciting the photonic crystal with ∼ 360 nm UV light or ∼ 480 nm visible light. The recorded information is read out by measuring the photonic crystal diffraction wavelength. The active element of the device is an azobenzene functionalized hydrogel which contains an embedded crystalline colloidal array. UV excitation forms cis-azobenzene while visible excitation forms trans-azobenzene. Larger dipole moment of the cis-form results in decrease of the free energy of mixing which causes the hydrogel to swell and to red-shift the photonic crystal diffraction with a 36 s time constant. We also observed fast ms and sub-ms transient dynamics associated with convection due to heating of the medium by UV excitation. Convective motion of the medium stretches the PCCA for about 6 μs within which the convection decays and the elastic restoring force of the PCCA brings back the stretched PCCA to its equilibrium state with 33 μs time constant.

Photonic flame effect

The results of study of the photonic flame effect observed in photonic crystals and nanocomposites based on opal matrixes are presented. The effect has been discovered recently [1] and manifests itself as radiation with duration of a few seconds in the blue-green spectral region under excitation by pulsed laser light with a wavelength of 694.3 nm and a pulse duration of 20 ns.     

Photonic Crystal Fibers

By offering greatly enhanced control of light compared to conventional step-index structures, photonic crystal fibres are radically improving the performance of linear and nonlinear fibre devices, including gas-Raman cells, super-continuum generators, soliton systems and cladding-pumped lasers.     

Photonic molecule lasing

Lasing at resonantly coupled whispering-gallery mode frequencies is observed in photonic molecules consisting of bispheres of 4.2 and 5.1 microm in diameter placed in a silicon V-groove. We examine spatial profiles of photonic molecule modes by use of frequency-resolved imaging and reveal bonding and antibonding mode features. From the lasing threshold characteristics, we quantitatively measure the quality factor and the spontaneous-emission coupling ratio of the photonic molecule modes and confirm that strong coherent coupling leads to photonic molecule modes.     

Photonic Feshbach resonance

Feshbach resonance is a resonance for two-atom scattering with two or more channels,in which a bound state is achieved in one channel.We show that this resonance phenomenon not only exists during the collisions of massive particles,but also emerges during the coherent transport of massless particles,that is,photons confined in the coupled resonator arrays linked by a separated cavity or a tunable two level system(TLS).When the TLS is coupled to one array to form a bound state in this setup,the vanishing transmission appears to display the photonic Feshbach resonance.This process can be realized through various experimentally feasible solid state systems,such as the couple defected cavities in photonic crystals and the superconducting qubit coupled to the transmission line.The numerical simulation based on the finite-different time-domain(FDTD) method confirms our assumption about the physical implementation.

Photonic Bandgap Deformation in a Nonideal Synthetic Opal Photonic Crystal

The Bragg diffraction in synthetic opal as a 3D photonic crystals has been analyzed using the weak disorder model in various approximations. For a one-domain crystal, the photonic bandgap is calculated in the regime of reflection along the 〈111〉 axis. In the multidomain case, a considerable expansion of the photonic bandgap, the emergence of asymmetry, and the photon band shift to the short-wavelength region are demonstrated. The results are compared with experimental dependences.     

Photonic flame effect

We observed a new effect which we called the photonic flame effect (PFE). Several three-dimensional photonic crystals (synthetic opals) were posed on a Cu plate at the temperature of liquid nitrogen (77 K). The typical distance between the crystals was 1–5 cm. A long-continued optical luminescence was excited in one of the crystals by the ruby laser pulse. A visible luminescence appeared in the other crystals (not illuminated by the laser pulse), with a time delay with respect to the luminescence in the first crystal (illuminated by the laser pulse) being observed. We examined synthetic opal crystals and those filled with nonlinear liquids.     

Photonic Crystal VCSELs

Photonic crystal vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (PC VCSELs) are reviewed. The PC VCSEL shows single-transverse-mode continuous wave operation in the entire current range with side mode suppression ratio 35-40dB. A simple 3-D plane wave expansion method is found to be very effective in analyzing the modal properties of the PC VCSELs.     

Photonic network laser

We demonstrated lasing in two-dimensional trivalent network structures with short-range order. Despite the lack of translational and rotational symmetries, such structures possess a large isotropic photonic bandgap. Different from those of a photonic crystal, the band-edge modes are spatially localized and have high quality factor.

提出了一种光子晶体光纤Lyot-Sagnac环切割宽带光源的中心频率连续可调的微波光子滤波器.用温敏液体(Cat.19340)对两段光子晶体光纤(长度为11.94m和1.94m)中心的一个大孔进行填充后嵌入Lyot-Sagnac环,仿真分析了不同填充占空比对Lyot-Sagnac环梳状谱周期和滤波器通带中心频率调谐范围的影响,结果表明:占空比越大,Lyot-Sagnac环的梳状谱周期越小,滤波器通带中心频率的调谐范围越大.在占空比最大温度为20℃和80℃时,两段光子晶体光纤的有效长度为10m时,LyotSagnac环的梳状谱周期分别为0.36nm和0.26nm;当两段光子晶体光纤的有效长度为13.88m时,Lyot-Sagnac环的梳状谱周期分别是0.26nm和0.19nm.用该Lyot-Sagnac环对宽带光源进行切割,当温度在20℃到80℃之间变化时,通过调节环内的偏振控制器,多波长光源波长间隔可在0.19nm~0.36nm范围内连续可调,实现了滤波器通带中心频率在31.04GHz~58.81GHz范围内连续可调.     

Photonic Band Gap in Two-Dimensional Anisotropic Photonic Crystal with Rectangular Bars

Photonic band gap (PBG) in two-dimensional (2D) anisotropic photonic crystal (PC) constructed of rectangular bars has been numerically studied by using Transfer Matrix Method (TMM). The results show that the PBG is bounded by the lower band edge of TE wave and the upper band edge of TM wave. Its width simply increases with increasing of shape parameter . It reaches a maximum value as the structure degenerates into its 1D counterpart, due to the complete overlapping of gaps in TE and TM waves. The anisotropy in PC structure results in the transmission anisotropic property. One can design the PBG structures in different incident directions to match their application demand.
