Theoretical analysis of optical force density distribution inside subwavelength-diameter optical fibers

We investigate the microscopic optical force density distributions respectively inside a subwavelength-diameter(SD)fiber with flat endface and inside one with oblique endface by using a finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) method.Optical force density distributions at the fiber endfaces can now be readily available. The complete knowledge of optical force density distributions not only reveal features regarding the microscopic near-field optomechanical interaction, but also provide straightforward explanations for the sideway deflections and other mechanical motions. Our results can provide a useful reference for better understanding the mechanical influence when light transports in a microscale or nanoscale structure and for developing future highly-sensitive optomechanical devices.     

表面等离激元增强的光和物质相互作用

表面等离激元近年来受到了广泛的关注.得益于表面等离激元的强局域约束作用,光场和能量被限制在亚波长尺度上,因而各种光和物质相互作用可得到显著的增强.表面等离激元的特性与材料、形貌、结构密切相关,相应的共振波长可覆盖紫外、可见光、近红外到远红外的光谱波段.由于表面等离激元的强局域电场,光与物质的相互作用,如荧光、拉曼散射、非线性光学、光热转换、光-声效应、催化、光伏转换等,都得以显著增强.本文简要回顾了表面等离激元的物理特性,具体讨论了各种基于表面等离激元增强的光和物质相互作用机理及相关应用,并探讨了存在的问题和进一步发展的方向.本文旨在为构造更高性能的表面等离激元器件,发展相关技术,进一步拓展表面等离激元的应用领域提供有益的参考.     

各向异性对半圆形河谷散射影响的数值分析

半圆形河谷场地可构造为包含河谷的广义子结构和具有规则边界的开挖场地两部分，基于土-结构相互作用SSI原理，建立子结构控制方程。利用比例边界有限元SBFEM求解开挖场地动刚度，解析求解各向异性介质自由场qP波波动，将两者代入控制方程，可求得广义结构的动力响应。与文献中各向同性半空间中半圆形河谷在P波入射下的位移结果对比，验证了方法的精度和有效性。进一步分析了椭圆各向异性和非椭圆各向异性对半圆形河谷在qP波入射下位移分布的影响。数值算例显示，介质的各向异性改变了半圆形河谷散射位移的空间分布，增大了水平向位移的峰值；同时，介质的各向异性加剧了入射角对散射波场位移分布的影响。     

Interface coupling effects of weakly nonlinear Rayleigh–Taylor instability with double interfaces

Taking the Rayleigh–Taylor instability with double interfaces as the research object,the interface coupling effects in the weakly nonlinear regime are studied numerically.The variation of Atwood numbers on the two interfaces and the variation of the thickness between them are taken into consideration.It is shown that,when the Atwood number on the lower interface is small,the amplitude of perturbation growth on the lower interface is positively related with the Atwood number on the upper interface.However,it is negatively related when the Atwood number on the lower interface is large.The above phenomenon is quantitatively studied using an analytical formula and the underlying physical mechanism is presented.     

Unidirectional emissions from dielectric photonic circuits decorated with plasmonic phased antenna arrays

Thanks to resonant characteristics of metallic nanoparticles, optical waves scattered from plasmonic nanoantennae can be well tailored in both amplitude and phase. We numerically demonstrate that, by varying the lengths and the lateral positions of gold nanorods in vicinity of a silicon waveguide, unidirectional emissions with typical forward-backward contrast ratio of 15 dB and directivity of 12 dB can be acquired in a plasmonic phased antenna array with sub-wavelength device length. The properties, i.e., the emission directionality and the size compactness, can be employed to control the far-field radiation pattern from a dielectric photonic circuit. Moreover, by altering the orientations of the dielectric waveguides decorated with plasmonic phased antenna arrays, we propose wireless light transportations in a layered photonic infrastructure, which may have applications in high-density photonic integrations.     

Elementary analysis of interferometers for wave-particle duality test and the prospect of going beyond the complementarity principle

A distinct method to show a quantum object behaving both as wave and as particle is proposed and described in some detail. We make a systematic analysis using the elementary methodology of quantum mechanics upon Young＇s two-slit interferometer and the Mach-Zehnder two-arm interferometer with the focus placed on how to measure the interference pattern （wave nature） and the which-way information （particle nature） of quantum objects. We design several schemes to simultaneously acquire the which-way information for an individual quantum object and the high-contrast interference pattern for an ensemble of these quantum objects by placing two sets of measurement instruments that are well separated in space and whose perturbation of each other is negligibly small within the interferometer at the same time. Yet, improper arrangement and cooperation of these two sets of measurement instruments in the interferometer would lead to failure of simultaneous observation of wave and particle behaviors. The internal freedoms of quantum objects could be harnessed to probe both the which-way information and the interference pattern for the center-of-mass motion. That quantum objects can behave beyond the wave-particle duality and the complementarity principle would stimulate new conceptual examination and exploration of quantum theory at a deeper level.

High-Q Microcavity in Two-Dimensional Diamond Photonic Crystal Thin Films Realized via a Mode Gap

We design high quality factor （Q） photonic crystal microcavities in diamond films for applications in quantum information based on color centers. A photonic microcavity made from a waveguide heterostructure with a mode gap is demonstrated to have a high Q factor over 1051400 and a modal volume V of 2.24 cubic wavelengths by modifying the mode gap width and the tapered region geometry. Besides its ultrahigh Q factor, the waveguide-like geometry of the cavity allows for easy on-chip transportation of quantum information between different cavities.
