Optical Properties of ZnFe2O4—SiO2 Granular Films Prepared by Radio—Frequency Magnetron Sputtering

We report on the optical properties of ZnFe2O4-SiO2 granular films prepared on quartz substrates by the radio-frequency magnetron sputtering method.Post-annealing was performed at different temperatures under flow oxygen atmosphere.The morphology and Structures of ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles were characterized by x-ray different line types in the optical absorption curves of ZnFe2O4-SiO2 granular films.The critical transition of line types occurs when ZnFe2O4 changes from amorphous to crystalline,and the transition temperature increases with the increasing content of ZnFe2O4.There is an obvious blueshift of the optical absorption edge of the granular films with the decreasing annealing temperature.

Surface relief resonant Brewster filters with multiple channels

In this paper, a new type of resonant Brewster filters （RBF） with surface relief structure for the multiple channels is first presented by using the rigorous coupled-wave analysis and the S-matrix method. By tuning the depth of homogeneous layer which is under the surface relief structure, the multiple channels phenomenon is obtained. Long range, extremely low sidebands and multiple channels are found when the RBF with surface relief structure is illuminated with Transverse Magnetic incident polarization light near the Brewster angle calculated with the effective media theory of sub wavelength grating. Moreover, the wavelengths of RBF with surface relief structure can be easily shifted by changing the depth of homogeneous layer while its optical properties such as low sideband reflection and narrow band are not spoiled when the depth is changed. Furthermore, the variation of the grating thickness does not effectively change the resonant wavelength of RBF, but have a remarkable effect on its line width, which is very useful for designing such filters with different line widths at desired wavelength.     

反射型导模共振滤波器设计

导模共振滤波器由于其高峰值反射率,低旁带反射,窄带以及带宽可控等优良特性引起了人们极大的关注,采用亚波长光栅的导模共振效应可以实现传统基于高低折射率介质的多层膜滤波器所无法实现的特殊功能,在弱调制模式下,其共振带宽可以被压缩到零点几纳米,但是由于介质表面和空气层的菲涅耳反射,使得偏离或者远离共振区时的反射率偏高,根据等效介质理论,亚波长光栅在远离共振区可以被看为均匀的薄膜,本文通过对导模共振光栅进行单层、双层以及三层抗反射设计,有效的降低了导模共振光栅的旁带反射率,从而在可见光波段获得了性能优良的共振滤波 关键词： 导模共振 平面波导 傅里叶模式理论 窄带滤波

利用电子束蒸发方法,在不同沉积温度(50~350℃)下制备了Sc2O3薄膜。分别用分光光度计,小角掠入射X射线衍射仪和轮廓仪测试了薄膜样品的光谱、微结构和表面粗糙度信息,并用薄膜分析软件Essential Macleod计算了Sc2O3薄膜的折射率和消光系数。结果表明:随着沉积温度升高,Sc2O3薄膜结晶程度增强,晶粒尺寸增大,且较高的沉积温度有利于获得较高的折射率。最后用355 nm,8 ns的三倍频Nd:YAG激光器测试了其激光损伤阈值(LIDT),最大值为2.6 J/cm2,且阈值与薄膜的消光系数、表面粗糙度、光学损耗均呈现相反的变化趋势。用光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜表征了该薄膜的破坏形貌,详细分析了薄膜在不同激光能量作用下破坏的发展过程,以及Sc2O3薄膜在355 nm紫外激光作用下LIDT与制备工艺的关系,重点分析了355 nm激光作用下薄膜的破坏机理。     

Design of wideband graded-index antireflection coatings at oblique light incidence

We suggest a design method of graded-refractive-index (GRIN) antireflection (AR) coating for s-polarized or p-polarized light at off-normal incidence. The spectrum characteristic of the designed antireflection coating with a quintic effective refractive-index profile for a given state of polarization has been discussed. In addition, the genetic algorithm was used to optimize the refractive index profile of the GRIN antireflection for reducing the mean reflectance of s- and p-polarizations. The average reflectance loss was reduced to only 0.04% by applying optimized GRIN AR coatings onto BK7 glass over the wavelength range from 400 to 800 nm at the incident angle of θ₀ =70°.     

Effects of annealing time on the structure,morphology, and stress of gold–chromium bilayer film

In this work, a 200-nm-thick gold film with a 10-nm-thick chromium layer used as an adhesive layer is fabricated on fused silica by the electron beam evaporation method. The effects of annealing time at 300℃ on the structure, morphology and stress of the film are studied. We find that chromium could diffuse to the surface of the film by formatting a solid solution with gold during annealing. Meanwhile, chromium is oxidized on the surface and diffused downward along the grain grooves in the gold film. The various operant mechanisms that change the residual stresses of gold films for different annealing times are discussed.

Guided-mode resonances in multimode planar periodic waveguides

<正>Using the effective medium theory and the waveguide eigenvalue equation,we design a multimode planar periodic waveguide.When a plane wave illuminates the grating at the designed angle and wavelength, more than one leaky modes are excited coincidentally.Then the reflection efficiency around this designed angle and wavelength is investigated using a rigorous coupled wave analysis formulation and a gap of reflection peaks is found.Electric field distributions reveal that this high reflectivity gap is due to the coupling between these two coincidentally excited leaky modes.
