SiO2 Waveguide Resonator Used in an Integrated Optical Gyroscope

An integrated optical waveguide resonator based on a SiO2 waveguide is proposed, fabricated and tested. The method of designing the resonator is also presented. The optimal splitting ratio of the coupler is gained by simulating the relationship between the splitting ratio of the key coupler in the resonator and the resonator＇s finesse with resonance depth. The calculated fundamental detection limit of this integrated optical vcaveguide resonator is 1.6°/h. Finally, a micro-optical gyroscope system based on the integrated waveguide resonator is built, and the measured resonator＇s finesse F is close to 70 under fluctuating temperature. To the best of our knowledge, the present F is the best result to date. For the coupler splitting rate the experimental results have fixed errors with the simulation results caused by fabrication processes which can be easily eliminated, implying that the method of design is effective and applicable.     

Coupled resonator-induced transparency on a three-ring resonator

The coupled resonator-induced transparency(CRIT) phenomenon, which is analogous to electromagnetically induced transparency in atomic systems, can occur in an original integrated optical resonator system due to the coherent interference of the coupled optical resonators. The system was composed of three ring resonators on silicon, each with the same cavity size, and the optical coupling to the input and output ports was achieved using grating with a power coupling efficiency of 36%. A CRIT resonance whose spectrum shows a narrow transparency peak with a low group velocity was demonstrated.The quality factor of the ring resonator can attain a value up to 6×10~4, and the harmonic wavelength can be controlled by adjusting the temperature. The through and drop transmission spectra of the resonator are reconciled well with each other and also consistent well with the theoretical analysis.

It is proved that the thickness of the antenna can be much smaller than the working wavelength. The simulation and experimental results for our cavity antenna agree with the theoretical prediction with relatively high directivity.     

Theoretical and experimental study on rare-eath element-doped silicon single-mode fiber laser with two different structures of resonators

Abstract: Laser resonator is very important in the study and fabrication of lasers. The work conditions and work parameters of rare-earth element-doped optical fiber lasers with two different structures of laser resonators, i. e., the fiber ring resonator and Fabry-Perot resonator are studied. The fineness, laser resonant conditions, laser oscillation conditions and threshold inversion of these two different cavity are deduced. A series of experiments are also given. The result is very valuable to evaluate the output of optical fiber laser and can be a foundation of device fabrication. The Nd~(3 )-doped silica single-mode fiber laser pumped by Ar~ laser with a low threshold of 1.02 mW and a maximum output of more than 1 mW are presented in this paper.     

The microwave response of MgB2 /Al2O3 superconducting thin films

Microwave characteristics of MgB2/Al2O3 superconducting thin films were investigated by coplanar resonator technique. The thin films studied have different grain sizes resulting from different growth techniques. The experimental results can be described very well by a grain-size model which combines coplanar resonator theory and Josephson junction network model. It was found that the penetration depth and surface resistance of thin films with smaller grain sizes are larger than those of thin films with larger grain sizes.     

Stopping and storing light pulses within a fiber optic ring resonator

A simple all optical system for stopping and storing light pulses is demonstrated. The system consists of an erbium-doped fiber amplifier （EDFA）, a semiconductor optical amplifier （SOA）, and a fiber ring resonator. The results show that the multisoliton generation with a free spectrum range of 2.4 nm and a pulse spectral width of 0.96 nm is achieved. The memory time of 15 min and the maximum soliton output power of 5.94 dBm are noted, respectively. This means that light pulses can be trapped, i.e., stopped optically within the fiber ring resonator.     

Tunable coplanar waveguide resonator with nanowires

A tunable superconducting half-wavelength coplanar waveguide resonator(CPWR) with Nb parallel nanowires ～300 nm in width embedded in the center conductor was designed, fabricated, and measured. The frequency shift and the amplitude attenuation of the resonance peak under irradiation of 404-nm pulse laser were observed with different light powers at 4.2 K. The RF power supplied to such a CPWR can serve as current bias, which will affect the light response of the resonator.     

A tunable infrared plasmonic polarization filter with asymmetrical cross resonator

A tunable infrared plasmonic polarization filter is proposed and investigated in this paper. The filter is based on the sandwich absorption structure which consists of three layers. The top layer is an array of asymmetrical cross resonator.The middle and bottom layers are dielectric spacer and metal film respectively. By absorbing specific wavelength of the incident light perfectly, the reflection spectrum of the structure shows filter performance. The calculated results show that the absorption wavelength is strongly dependent on the length of branch of the asymmetrical cross resonator which is parallel to the light polarization and independent of the length of the vertical one. Therefore, the asymmetrical cross resonator filter structure opens the way for freely tuning the filtering wavelength for a different light polarization. We can fix a resonant wavelength(absorption wavelength) corresponding to one polarization and change the resonant wavelength for the other polarization by adjusting the corresponding branch length of the asymmetrical cross resonator, or change the two resonant wavelengths of both two polarizations at the same time.     

Reduction of Lasing Threshold by Deforming a Circular Resonator

We have reduced the lasing threshold of a circular resonator,formed by a dye-doped pendant drop,by changing its shape from a circle to an oval.This phenomenon can be explained by the decrease of the number (p) of modes that support lasing in the resonator.A theory that connects wave and ray pictures in dealing with the cavity resonance is used to estimate p and its dependence on the eccentricity of an oval-shaped resonator.The measured lasing threshold and the calculated p have a linear relationship in agreement with our prediction.     

Output characteristics analyses of a novel dual-slab laser with an off-axis one-sided stable-unstable resonator

A novel dual-slab laser with an off-axis one-sided stable-unstable resonator which can compensate for thermal distortion to some extent by flipping the optical beam is described in this paper. The output power, efficiency, and near-field and far-field intensity distributions of the dual-slab laser have been studied. The restdts indicate that the novel dual-slab laser has better performance than the normal dual-slab laser with the same off-axis one-sided stable-unstable resonator.

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.

Generating Squeezed States of Nanomechanical Resonator via a Flux Qubit in a Hybrid System

We propose a scheme for generating squeezed states based on a superconducting hybrid system.Our system consists of a nanomechanical resonator,a superconducting flux qubit,and a superconducting transmission line resonator.Using our proposal,one can easily generate the squeezed states of the nanomechanical resonator.In our scheme,the nonlinear interaction between the nanomechanical resonator and the superconducting transmission line resonator can be implemented by the flux qubit as 'nonlinear media' with a tunable Josephson energy.The realization of the nonlinearity does not need any operations on the flux qubit and just needs to adiabatically keep it at the ground state,which can greatly decrease the effect of the decoherence of the flux qubit on the squeezed efficiency.

Well-designed rectangular cavity resonator for FMR experiment

The unloaded quality factor of the cavity resonator is the ratio between the stored energy of the cavity resonator to the power loses in the cavity resonator. The homemade rectangular cavity resonator in X-band shows higher unloaded quality factor compare with standard cavity resonator in the TE₁₀₂ mode. Because the inner walls of rectangular cavity resonator are treated through high quality polishing and high purity Au plating. Also the inner walls are made by printed circuit board which has thin Cu foil, two problems such as mechanical vibration and thermal expansion can be solved by minimizing unwanted eddy current. Through the ferromagnetic resonance measurement by using our rectangular cavity resonator, we can be obtained reasonable values of resonance frequency and linewidth by using NiFe thin film. As a result, the Gilbert damping constant from the experimental result is in good agreement with the typical value of damping parameter of the NiFe thin film.
