Photonic band gap from periodic structures containing anisotropic nonmagnetic left-handed metamaterial

<正>We demonstrate a photonic band gap(PBG) from one-dimensional(1D) periodic structures created by a double-layer unit cell with an air layer and an anisotropic nonmagnetic left-handed metamaterial(LHM) layer whose permittivity elements are partially negative.The requirements imposed on the materials and structures to realize a PBG are derived when the frequency is above or below the cutoff frequency,and the transmission properties of the PBG are discussed by utilizing 4×4 transfer-matrix method with dispersive semiconductor metamaterial.     

Mean-field Theory for Some Bus Transport Networks with Random Overlapping Clique Structure

Transport networks, such as railway networks and airport networks, are a kind of random network with complex topology. Recently, more and more scholars paid attention to various kinds of transport networks and try to explore their inherent characteristics. Here we study the exponential properties of a recently introduced Bus Transport Networks （BTNs） evolution model with random overlapping clique structure, which gives a possible explanation for the observed exponential distribution of the connectivities of some BTNs of three major cities in China. Applying mean-field theory, we analyze the BTNs model and prove that this model has the character of exponential distribution of the connectivities, and develop a method to predict the growth dynamics of the individual vertices, and use this to calculate analytically the connectivity distribution and the exponents. By comparing mean-field based theoretic results with the statistical data of real BTNs, we observe that, as a whole, both of their data show similar character of exponential distribution of the connectivities, and their exponents have same order of magnitude, which show the availability of the analytical result of this paper.

Optical E-field probe using LiNbO_3 M-Z waveguides in the electromagnetic compatibility measurements

An integrated optical E-field probe with the segmented electrode using LiNbO3 Mach-Zehnder (M-Z) waveguides is proposed and an equivalent circuit of the segmented electrode is given. According to the circuit theory, the electrode structure of the probe is designed. The unpackaged size of the fabricated probe is as small as 60×6×0.5 (mm). The measured results show that the half wavelength voltage is 7.7 V, the±5 dB baseband range is 3 GHz, and the minimum detectable field is lower than 90 dB·μV/m (bandwidth 100 Hz). Therefore it can be used in the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) measurements.     

An Isotropic Electric-Field Sensing System Using Optical Probe

We design an isotropic electric-field sensing system using an optical probe. The optical probe consists of three electric-field sensors based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with the structure of segmented electrodes, which are perpendicular to each other. The measured results show that the ±5 dB baseband can reach 3 GHz, the linear dynamics range is 70dB, and the minimum detectable electric field is lower than 90 dBμ V/m （the spectrum analyser resolution is 100 Hz）. The directional characteristics are almost isotropic within deviations of ±1.5 dB. Therefore this sensing system can be used in the electromagnetic compatibility measurements.

We design and fabricate an integrated optical electric field sensor with segmented electrode for intensive impulse electric field measurement. The integrated optical sensor is based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with segmented electrodes. The output/input character of the sensing system is analysed and measured. The maximal detectable electric field range （-75 kV/m to 245kV/m） is obtained by analysing the results. As a result, the integrated optics electric field sensing system is suitable for transient intensive electric field measurement investigation.
