方形渐变空气孔微结构光纤的色散特性分析

提出了一种新型的方形分布渐变空气孔微结构光纤。借助时域有限差分法计算了孔间距取 2.0μm和2.5μm,最小孔直径分别取0.4μm、0.6μm、0.7μm、0.8μm和1.0μm,从第一层到第五层直径线性递增量分别为0.1μm/层和0.2μm/层的五层渐变空气孔微结构光纤的基模色散曲线图,结果表明渐变空气孔微结构光纤在控制色散的能力上明显优于空气孔不变的微结构光纤,这种光纤的色散曲线在1400~2000 nm波长范围内保持平坦且具有更低的色散量;当渐变空气孔微结构光纤第三层孔的直径取与孔直径不变微结构光纤的孔直径相同,且第一层到第五层孔直径按每层0.2μm的斜率增长时,其色散曲线最低最平坦,色散值保持在30 ps/(km·nm)左右。

Modified surface plasmonic waveguide formed by nanometric parallel lines

In this paper, two kinds of modified surface plasmonic waveguides formed by nanometric parallel lines are proposed. The finite-difference frequency-domain method is used to study propagation properties of the fundamental mode supported by these surface plasmonic waveguide structures. Results show that the transverse magnetic field of the fundamental mode is mainly distributed in the face to face region formed by two rods. With the same geometrical parameters and the same working wavelength of 632.8~nm, in the case of rods with a triangular cross-section, the degree of localization of field is strong, i.e. the mode area is small, but the fraction of the modal power in the metal increases, so the effective index increases and the propagation length of the mode decreases. With the same geometrical parameters, relative to the case of a working wavelength of 632.8~nm, when working wavelength is large, the mode area of transverse magnetic field distribution is large, i.e. the degree of localization of field is weak, and the interaction of field and silver is weak too, then the effective index decreases, so the propagation length increases. The rounded radii of rods have a great influence on the performance of the surface plasmonic waveguides with rounded triangular cross-sections, but have little influence on the performance of surface plasmonic waveguides with rounded square cross-sections. Since the distribution of transverse magnetic field, effective index, propagation length and the mode area can be adjusted by the geometrical parameters, this kind of modified surface plasmonic waveguide can be applied to the field of photonic device integration and sensors.

蝴蝶形中空表面等离子体波导的传输特性

本文设计了一种蝴蝶形中空表面等离子体波导,并对其传输特性进行了研究.采用频域有限差分法,对这种波导所支持的基模的能流密度分布、有效折射率、传播长度和模式面积随几何参数和工作波长的变化关系进行了分析.结果表明:沿纵向的能流主要分布在由四个圆洞所构成的上下两个尖角之间的区域,且越接近尖角,沿纵向的能流越大.对中空圆洞的半径、上下两排圆洞圆心间横向距离和左右两列圆洞圆心间的纵向距离进行调节,模式的有效折射率、传播长度和模式面积也随之变化.在工作波长确定的条件下,相对于b=r/4的情况来说,当b=r/2时,上下两个尖角之间的距离较大,场与金属的相互作用较弱,有效折射率就较大,传播长度也较大.在几何参数确定的条件下,相对于λ=705.0 nm的情形来说,在λ较大时,场的分布范围较大,场与金属表面的接触面积较大,场与金属的相互作用较弱,有效折射率较小,传播距离较长.与由两个和三个空心圆柱构成芯区的表面等离子体波导相比较,蝴蝶形中空表面等离子体波导具有良好的传输特性.如果在波导结构中心填充增益介质,可以克服较大的传播损耗,因此这种蝴蝶形中空表面等离子体波导可以用于光子器件集成领域和传感器领域.     

Propagation properties of a modified surface plasmonic waveguide with an arc slot

We introduce a modified surface plasmonic waveguide with an arc slot. The dependences of distribution of energy flux density, effective index, propagation length and mode area of the symmetric mode supported by this waveguide on geometrical parameters and working wavelength are analysed by using the finite-difference frequency-domain (FDFD) method. Results show that the energy flux density distributes mainly in four corners which are formed by two arcs, and the closer to the corners it is, the stronger the energy flux density will be. The effective index, the propagation length and the mode area are influenced by geometrical parameters, including the width, the thickness and the arc radius of the surface plasmonic waveguide, as well as the working wavelength. It has been shown that the surface plasmonic waveguide with an arc slot has better propagation properties than the surface plasmonic waveguide with a straight slot. This work may be helpful for applying the slot surface plasmonic waveguide to integrated photonics.     

Mode characteristics of nested eccentric waveguides constructed by two cylindrical nanowires coated with graphene

A kind of nested eccentric waveguide constructed with two cylindrical nanowires coated with graphene was designed. The mode characteristics of this waveguide were studied using the multipole method. It was found that the three lowest modes (mode 0, mode 1 and mode 2) can be combined by the zero-order mode or/and the first-order modes of two single nanowires. Mode 0 has a higher figure of merit and the best performance among these modes within the parameter range of interest. The mode characteristics can be adjusted by changing the parameters of the waveguide. For example, the propagation length will be increased when the operating wavelength, the minimum spacing between the inner and outer cylinders, the inner cylinder radius and the Fermi energy are increased. However, when the outer cylinder radius, the dielectric constants of region I, or the dielectric constants of region III are increased, the opposite effect can be seen. These results are consistent with the results obtained using the finite element method (FEM). The waveguide structure designed in this paper is easy to fabricate and can be applied to the field of micro/nano sensing.     

一种由椭圆形金属和介质纳米线组成的混合表面等离子体光波导的基模控制特性研究

本文研究了一种由三根并排放置的椭圆形金属-介质-金属纳米线构成的混合表面等离子体光波导所支持的电磁场基模的控制特性,中间是高折射率的介质纳米线,左右是两根对称放置的金属纳米线。研究结果表明,基模电磁场增强效应主要分布在三根纳米线形成的两个间隙区域,且对整个结构的几何参数有一定依赖性。因此,通过改变纳米线的几何尺寸、两根纳米线之间的间距以及介质的电磁参数,可以调整和控制这种波导所支持的基模的有效折射率、模式传输距离、归一化的模式面积和模式束缚因子等物理特性。基于这些有效的模式操控特性,这种混合型的表面等离子体光波导可以应用于高密度光子器件集成、纳米光子学和生物传感器等领域。
