等离子体填充慢波器件为高效率、高功率真空电子微波源的发展提供了新的途径, 但其仿真和理论都具有一定的难度. 本文将通过轮辐天线加载激励信号的方法引入到等离子体填充金属光子晶体慢波结构(SWS)的色散特性仿真分析中, 研究了慢波结构参数和等离子体密度对等离子体填充慢波结构色散特性的影响. 结果表明, 无等离子体填充时, 通过轮辐天线加载激励信号方式得到的色散特性与其他方法差别不大; 与已有结果对比表明, 该方法适用于等离子体填充慢波结构的分析. 为了减小轮辐天线对腔体谐振频率的影响, 需要适当减薄轮辐天线的厚度, 并尽可能缩短其与反射面之间的距离. 天线的厚度越大越能激励慢波场, 越小谐振模式越容易被激励; 慢波结构周期膜片外半径和厚度对色散特性影响不大, 周期长度和膜片内半径对色散特性影响较大; 频率和相速色散曲线随等离子体密度上升而整体向高频区移动; 等离子体填充对低频模点的影响要大于对高频模点的影响; 对于慢波器件, 需要选择高频模点工作模式, 以减少腔的尺寸并降低电子注的初速度.

Characteristics of terahertz slow-wave system with two-dimensional photonic band-gap structure

A terahertz slow-wave system model consists of a photonic crystal with two-dimensional band-gap structure and a slow-wave plate as its periodic unit. The electromagnetic field in the slow-wave system has been numerically simulated. The dispersion relation and the coupled impedance of the backward wave mode in the system have been calculated for a variety of geometric settings. The results indicate that this model would be a promising candidate for the slow-wave system with single stable backward wave mode.     

Efficiency enhancement in a microcavity solid-state dye laser with Bragg grating reflectors

Bragg grating reflectors placed along microcavity facets can improve the efficiency of a polymer dye laser built with such a microcavity. The impact of different reflector designs on the mode pattern and resonance frequencies of the microcavity is numerically simulated and analyzed. This rigorous physical model is based on solving the Maxwell equations and includes such material properties as absorption, dispersion, fluorescence and optical gain. In certain cases, an asymmetrical layout of the reflectors can be more preferable than the pair of reflectors located on opposite sides of the microcavity as it is implemented for typical design.     

Isotropic photonic bandgap in Penrose textured metallic mircocavity

Photonic microcavity has modified photonic modes that have intense localized electric field, which can couple strongly with the embedded emission centers. In this work, we fabricated 2D photonic microcavities with Penrose quasicrystal pattern with 10-fold symmetry. Organic luminescence material tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq₃) was embedded into the microcavity and the angle resolved transmission (ART) and photoluminescence (ARPL) spectra of the microcavity were measured. The results showed that the normal Gaussian photoluminescence spectrum of Alq₃ has been strongly modified by the microcavity dispersion characteristic. In addition, omni-directional photonic band gap exists in the microcavity. The higher symmetry of Penrose quasicrystal pattern means that there was minimal difference in the directional dispersion characteristics.     

Influence of the humidity conditions on the reflectivity spectrum of a porous silicon microcavity

We have designed and fabricated a porous silicon (PS) microcavity that shows a reflectivity resonance around 3 μm in between two spectral regions with high reflectivity values. The microcavity has been simulated following the photonic crystals formalism, which results in good agreement with the measured spectrum. The reflectivity spectrum of the microcavity has been analyzed under different humidity conditions. We demonstrate that the reflectivity resonance shifts to higher wavelengths and that the reflectivity decreases when the humidity increases. In addition, the reflectivity spectrum of the as-prepared device is recovered when the humidity returns to the initial laboratory conditions. Finally, the effect on the reflectivity spectrum of a condensed water layer at the surface of the microcavity is also analyzed.     

Exciton-polariton in WS_2 microcavity in the presence of the optical Stark effect

Exciton-polaritons offer an exceptional platform for future photoelectronic and quantum information applications. The influence of the optical Stark effect on exciton-polaritons in a microcavity embodied with a monolayer WS2 is studied. A polarization dependent model is proposed to study the change of strongly coupled excitons and photons in a WS2 microcavity. It is revealed through both steady and dynamical states analysis that an outside optical Stark pulse can effectively vary the polariton characteristics, such as dispersion, exciton, and photon fractions, through blue shifting of excitonic resonance. Thus, the analysis and control of exciton-polaritons in a WS2 microcavity via a spin-selective trigger could be achievable.

Solution processed microcavity structures with embedded quantum dots

The authors report the fabrication of a one-dimensional microcavity structure embedded with colloidal CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots using solution processing. The microcavity structures were fabricated by spin coating alternating layers of polymers of different refractive indices (poly-vinylcarbazole—PVK, and poly-acrylic acid—PAA) to form the distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs). Greater than 90% reflectivity was obtained using ten periods of the structure. The one-dimensional microcavity was formed by sandwiching a λ/n thick defect layer between two such DBRs. The emission of the quantum dots from the microcavity structure demonstrated directionality following the cavity mode dispersion and spectral narrowing. Room temperature time-resolved photoluminescence measurements carried out on this structure showed significant reduction in the photoluminescence decay time which is attributed primarily to nonradiative mechanism originating in the presence of the PVK host matrix. The photoluminescence decay time of the quantum dots was found to be 1000 ps while for the quantum dots embedded in the polymer host and the microcavity were 400 and 150 ps, respectively.     

Stimulated parametric scattering of excitonic polaritons in planar GaAs microcavities: Distinctive feature of QW electric field

Instabilities in the electric field at the QW in the active region of a GaAs based microcavity have been investigated under the resonance excitation near the inflection point of the low polariton (LP) dispersion curve with the use of four wave mixing technique. The electric field jump due to an LP bistability has been found to precede the development of a stimulated parametric scattering of LPs. The latter has been found to develop with a delay of a few hundreds ps from the beginning of the excitation pulse. These results are in qualitative agreement with hard regime of excitation of the stimulated parametric LP scattering predicted recently.     

Partial waves in coupled spiral lines
