Optical total reflection and transmission with mode control in a dielectric subwavelength nanorod chain

We report a polarization dependent reflection phenomenon beyond the normal incidence with a subwavelength nanorod chain.Light waves of the transverse electric mode will be totally reflected while those of the transverse magnetic mode will transmit through.The total reflection or transmission phenomenon can be seen as a constructive or destructive interference of the incident field with the transverse mode field of the chain.With the low-loss feature and the ultra-compact characteristic,this structure may find applications in photonic circuits.     

High efficiency grating couplers based on shared process with CMOS MOSFETs

Grating couplers are widely investigated as coupling interfaces between silicon-on-insulator waveguides and optical fibers.In this work,a high-efficiency and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor(CMOS) process compatible grating coupler is proposed.The poly-Si layer used as a gate in the CMOS metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor(MOSFET) is combined with a normal fully etched grating coupler,which greatly enhances its coupling efficiency.With optimal structure parameters,a coupling efficiency can reach as high as ～ 70% at a wavelength of 1550 nm as indicated by simulation.From the angle of fabrication,all masks and etching steps are shared between MOSFETs and grating couplers,thereby making the high performance grating couplers easily integrated with CMOS circuits.Fabrication errors such as alignment shift are also simulated,showing that the device is quite tolerant in fabrication.     

应力调控单层MoSe2的光致发光光谱特性

为了探究二维材料在片上可调有源光学器件领域的应用潜力,通过干法转印将由机械剥离法得到的高品质单层二硒化钼转移到正面涂有150nm厚聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯的双轴压电陶瓷上,制作出可应力调控发光性质的单层二硒化钼光源.对双轴压电陶瓷施加驱动电压,使电信号转化为应力信号,观察低温下(～5K)二硒化钼光致发光光谱中本征激子态、带电激子态信号峰随应力变化的规律.结果表明:在应力由拉伸应力转变为压应力并逐渐增大的过程中,本征激子态、带电激子态信号峰分别出现了～3.8meV、～3.7meV的波长蓝移.增大压应力、拉伸应力都会导致本征激子态、带电激子态信号峰光强线性降低.同时,与泵浦光圆极化相关的圆偏振度也随应力变化表现出规律性改变.此项研究证明了应力调控与单层二硒化钼光学性质之间的紧密关系,为开发各类基于二维材料的片上可调有源光学器件提供支持.
