Tunable optical vortex arrays using spontaneous periodic pattern formation in nematic liquid crystal cells

Controllable liquid crystal (LC) defects can provide an effective approach to creating tunable optical vortices. We develop a method to create tunable matter vortex arrays in an LC cell, in which +1 and −1 defects are periodically arranged in a square grid lattice. Spontaneous formation of the periodic defect array is achieved using a spontaneous standing pressure wave without using any patterned electrode or patterned alignment layer. The +1 and −1 defects in the array can induce optical vortices with opposite handedness, and the matter vortex array produces a periodic optical vortex array with orbital angular momenta of −2ℏ and +2ℏ in the same grid lattice. Because the pitch of the grid can be controlled, the method can provide a useful pathway to producing tunable optical vortex arrays for various applications such as advanced optical communication and quantum computation.

Defect and dope selective of transmission properties of 2D photonic crystal

The effects of the defect and doping on the transmission properties are investigated in two-dimensional photonic crystal (PC) with triangular rods using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The results show that the width and the central position of the photonic band gap (PBG) depend on the thickness of rods with defect or composite-defect, and the refractive index of doped dielectric rods. The transmission properties of composite-defect combined with doping are further investigated. The thinner the nested concentric triangular rod and the smaller the refractive index is, the wider the band gaps is.     

Design of Narrowband Optical Filters Using Binary Number Sequence Photonic Crystals

A theory to design narrow band optical filters by using a new photonic crystal structure is presented. This new photonic crystal structure is composed of low index layers and high index layers arranged in mod. 4 up and down binary number sequence. The new structure exhibits narrow transmission peaks in the forbidden frequency gap region with high optical transmission (greater than 99.98%) at C.W.D.M. (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) center wavelengths. The proposed filters use only 8 layers. These new binary number sequence photonic crystal narrowband optical filters are much smaller in size, lower in cost and easier to fabricate as compared to narrowband photonic crystal optical filters based on defect Fractal Cantor multilayers, suggested recently by a group of researchers.

DOUBLE PERIODIC PHOTONIC CRYSTAL WITH METAMATERIAL

In this paper, the reflection and transmission coefficients of multi-layer dielectric and metamaterial media are derived by transmission-line method. Then, it is applied to double periodic photonic crystal structure, which is composed of two thin dielectric layers sandwiched by two thin metamaterial layers. The results show the structure has a large passband and a monotonous symmetric rising band edges compared with that for a conventional photonic crystal structure. If a defect layer is introduced, the localized modes appear. Furthermore, the number of transmission peaks in the photonic crystal structure can be tuned by changing the thickness of the defect in the structure. This photonic crystal may find application to broadband reflectors and the multi-wavelength narrow band optical filters.     

Photonic crystal-based dual-band demultiplexers on silicon materials

This investigation presents a novel design of dual-band demultiplexers based on a periodic hexagonal lattice of holes or rods on silicon materials. The demultiplexing function can be applied by coupling between two defect waveguides at one wavelength with no coupling then at another wavelength. Appropriately choosing the radius and number of separated rows yields a broad bandwidth for one range of wavelengths. Two designs that use rods or holes to generate photonic crystals are realized. An analysis based on finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) and plane wave expansion (PWE) methods demonstrates that a 1.3/1.55 μm dual-band wavelength demultiplexer can have a very low insertion loss and high isolation ratio.
