Localization and Threshold of Bistable Switching by Gap-Edge Shifting

We numerically investigate the localization behaviour of light propagation in a one-dimensional nonlinear photonic crystal (1D-NPC). It is found that the localization of a high gap-edge mode is better than that of a low one, so that the switching threshold of the 1D-NPC with plus Kerr L-layers is much lower than that with minus Kerr H-layers. For a structure of 16 periods, the threshold of the structure with nonlinear L-layers is about 1/10 of that with nonlinear H-layers in the same level of nonlinear refractive coefficient.     

Low Threshold Bistable Switching by the Nonlinear One—Dimensional Photonic Crystal

In the approximation of the fast Debye relaxation of a nonlinear Kerr medium,the nonlinear finite-difference timedomain method is derived to simulate numerically the one-dimensional nonlinear photonic crystqal sandwiched by the Kerr medium.Bistable switching with a low threshold intensity of 0.01kW/cm^2 is obtained,and the corresponding refractive index change of the Kerr media is about 0.038.     

Photonic Crystal Waveguide Intersection Based on Self-Imaging of Multi-Mode Interference

A new mechanism of intersection formed by two line defect photonic crystal （PC） waveguides are numerically investigated using the finite-diFference time-domain method. The results show that the normalized crosstalk is smaller than 10^-4; the reflection is smaller than 10^-3, and the transmission is larger than 0.999. The authors analyse the physical origins and find that a modified self-imaging process in the intersected multi-mode region is the main reason of the excellent performance. This kind of multi-mode interference based intersection may find potential applications in PC optical circuits.

Second-harmonic generation circular dichroism spectroscopy from tripod-like chiral molecular films

The second-harmonic generation (SHG) circular dichroism in the light of reflection from chiral films of tripod-like chiral molecules is investigated.The expressions of the second-harmonic generation circular dichroism are derived from our presented three-coupled-oscillator model for the tripod-like chiral molecules.Spectral dependence of the circular dichroism of SHG from film surface composed of tripod-like chiral molecules is simulated numerically and analysed.Influence of chiral parameters on the second-harmonic generation circular dichroism spectrum in chiral films is studied.The result shows that the second-harmonic generation circular dichroism is a sensitive method of detecting chirality compared with the ordinary circular dichroism in linear optics.All of our work indicates that the classical molecular models are very effective to explain the second-harmonic generation circular dichroism of chiral molecular system.The classical molecular model theory can give us a clear physical picture and brings us very instructive information about the link between the molecular configuration and the nonlinear processes.

Broadband Frequency Down-Conversion Using Coupled Cavity Structures in One-Dimensional Photonic Crystals

The frequency down-conversion of one-dimensional photonic crystals with the coupled cavity structure is investigated by the nonlinear finite-difference time-domain method. The efficient frequency conversion is obtained by utilizing the advantages of the broad eigenfrequency band, the strong localization and the Bloch phase matching of the coupled cavity structure. More importantly, the signal frequency could be tuned continuously within the whole band of the coupled cavity structure （with a bandwidth to central frequency ratio of 5.4%）, and the gains are homogeneous in the band.
