Octagonal dual-concentric-core photonic crystal fiber for C-band dispersion compensation with low confinement loss

A novel kind of octagonal dual-concentric-core photonic crystal fiber （PCF） is calculated with the finite element method （FEM） and proposed for broadband compensation. In order to realize highly negative dispersion, the hole diameter of the second ring is reduced relative to conventional PCFs. Numerical simulation results show that when the diameters of large holes and small holes are 0.77 pm and 0.5 #m, respectively, and the pitch of the adjacent rings is 1.1 μm, the negative dispersion can achieve about 840 ps.nm^-1.km^-1 at 1 550 nm and the dispersion slope can match with single mode fiber （SMF-28） perfectly. This PCF can compensate the positive dispersion and also its slope of about 50 times its length of SMF-28 fiber, which is suitable for C-band optical fiber telecommunication as a dispersion compensation fiber.     

Dielectric loss of half-doped manganite Lao.sCao.sMnO3＊

The dielectric loss tanfi of half-doped manganite Lao.sCao.sMnO3 is investigated using Green＇s function technique. The Lao.sCao.sMnO3 is described by the Kondo-lattice model in the double exchange limit, taking into account the Jahn- Teller distortion and the super-exchange interaction between the localized electrons. It is found that the intensity of tans decreases with increasing [e]TI, V, and U. It is also observed that the transition temperature Tp rises as l eJTI and U increase. It is worth noting that Tp remains unchanged and the strength of tans increases with increasing g. The calculated dielectric loss results are explained theoretically, and these behaviors are in qualitative agreement with the experimental results.     

Metallic nanowires for subwavelength waveguiding and nanophotonic devices

Plasmonics is a rapidly developing field concerning light manipulation at the nanoscale with many potential applications, of which plasmonic circuits are promising for future information technology. Plasmonic waveguides are fundamental elements for constructing plasmonic integrated circuits. Among the proposed different plasmonic waveguides, metallic nanowires have drawn much attention due to the highly confined electromagnetic waves and relatively low propagation loss. Here we review the recent research progress in the waveguiding characteristics of metallic nanowires and nanowire-based nanophotonic devices. Plasmon modes of both cylindrical and pentagonal metallic nanowires with and without substrate are discussed. Typical methods for exciting and detecting the plasmons in metallic nanowires are briefly summarized. Because of the multimode characteristic, the plasmon propagation and emission in the nanowire have many unique properties, benefiting the design of plasmonic devices. A few nanowire-based devices are highlighted, including quarter-wave plate, Fabry-Prot resonator, router and logic gates.

角度调谐滤光片特性分析及膜系设计

对窄带滤光片的倾斜入射特性作了分析.斜入射时其透射通带和峰值会向短波方向移动,透射曲线的稳定性跟滤光片的间隔层结构相关,多腔间使用相同的间隔层可以保证斜入射时有稳定的峰值透射率和带宽,利用该特点可以制备角度调谐窄带滤光片.透射光S和P偏振分量的中心波长随入射角度的增大出现分离现象,产生较大的偏振相关损耗.通过搭配不同厚度的高低折射率材料作为间隔层,改变其有效折射率,使其两个偏振分量的中心波长实现重合.设计了符合密集波分复用(Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing,DWDM)系统要求的低偏振相关损耗四腔窄带角度调谐滤光片膜系,其可调谐范围达20 nm以上,并评估了所设计角度调谐滤光片的调谐性能.
