High refractive index hyperbranched polyvinylsulfides for planar one‐dimensional all‐polymer photonic crystals

We report on the growth and characterization of one‐dimensional (1D) planar all‐polymer photonic crystals (PhC) with high dielectric contrast (Δn = 0.3) prepared by spin coating using hyperbranched polyvinylsulfide polymers (HB‐PVS) as high refractive index material and cellulose acetate as low refractive index material. Solution processable HB‐PVS show a near ultraviolet absorption inducing an increased refractive index in the visible‐near infrared (n = 1.68, λ = 1000 nm). HBPVS:Cellulose Acetate Distributed Bragg Reflectors show a very clear fingerprint of the photonic band gap possessing the expected polarized dispersion properties as a function of the incidence angle. Moreover, engineered microcavities tuned on the weak fluorescence spectrum of the HB‐PVS show directional fluorescence enhancement effects due to spectral redistribution of the emission oscillator strength. The combination of all these properties testifies the high optical quality of the obtained photonic structures thus indicating HB‐PVS as an interesting material for the preparation of such PhC. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

利用高阶拉盖尔-高斯横模精确测量法布里-珀罗腔内原子的运动轨迹

研究了冷原子与法布里-珀罗腔内拉盖尔-高斯横模强耦合相互作用体系的透射光谱, 分析了透射光谱与原子在腔中运动轨迹的关系. 结果表明, 与厄米特-高斯横模相比, 拉盖尔-高斯横模的腔场与原子的最大耦合系数几乎不随阶数的增加而变化, 使得探测光谱的对比度受模式阶数的影响较小. 在拉盖尔-高斯横模场分布的圆环边缘附近, 原子运动轨迹的微小偏移会引起透射光谱的很大变化, 因此在这些位置可以实现原子运动轨迹的高精度探测.     

氢负离子在微腔中的光剥离研究

利用闭合轨道理论,研究了氢负离子在金属面和弹性界面组成的微腔中的光剥离截面.结果表明,微腔的上下表面对氢负离子的光剥离截面产生很大影响.若固定金属面与氢负离子之间的距离不变,当弹性界面与氢负离子之间的距离很大时,弹性界面对氢负离子光剥离截面的影响很小,光剥离截面的振荡幅度和振荡频率与只有金属面时的情况类似.随着弹性界面和氢负离子之间距离的不断减小,光剥离截面的振荡幅度增大,振荡频率减小.若保持氢负离子和弹性界面之间的距离不变,随着金属面和氢负离子之间距离d₀的不断增大, 关键词： 光剥离截面 闭合轨道理论 微腔

本文基于ABAQUS建立了二维声子晶体体波能带结构的有限元计算方法.该方法首先利用周期性边界条件和Bloch定理,将周期结构的有限元离散特征方程化归到一个周期单胞内的复系数特征方程,然后将其分为实部和虚部两组方程,并在周期单胞边界上应用Bloch定理,求解得到的实数特征方程,获得频散曲线.与已有计算方法相比,该方法在适用性、计算速度、精确度和收敛性等方面具有明显的优越性.在此基础上使用发展的有限元方法分析研究了不同形状的声子晶体微腔的能带结构特性.结果表明这些晶体结构对于特定频率的声波可以将其限制在声子晶体微腔内,在一定环境下有着较好的吸声降噪功能.     

Polarization switch in an elliptical micropillar – quantum dot system induced by a magnetic field in Faraday configuration

In this paper we study the effect of applying a magnetic field on an elliptical microcavity pillar with quantum dots embedded, in the presence of external laser excitation. To obtain the system dynamics we use the matrix density formalism, taking into account realistic parameters and including losses. Our results show that it is possible to use the magnetic field strength to control the polarization of the photons inside the cavity, making our system behave like a photon polarization switch. We also report the best set of parameters where this is possible. Our results also indicate that we can use the polarization of the cavity photons to look into the fine structure of the energy levels of quantum dots.

GaAs pyramids on GaAs/AlAs Bragg reflectors as alternative microcavities

Pyramidal microcavities are a new class of optical resonators with potentially small mode volume and high quality factor. Our GaAs pyramids with embedded InGaAs quantum dots are placed on top of GaAs/AlAs distributed Bragg reflectors to increase the optical confinement at the base of the pyramids. The pyramidal shape is achieved by a wet-chemical etching process using an AlAs sacrificial layer. Temperature-dependent micro-photoluminescence measurements are used to verify optical modes.     

Efficiency of frequency-pulsed excitation of a micron-sized spherical microcavity by chirped ultrashort laser radiation

Peculiarities of internal optical field resonant excitation inside micron-sized spherical transparent dielectric cavity illuminated by a train of ultrashort laser pulses are investigated. On an example of water microdroplet is shown that optimal tuning of incident radiation to a selected high-Q resonance electromagnetic cavity mode can be realized by varying temporal interpulse interval in a laser train together with linear frequency modulation of every pulse (chirp). Efficiency of resonant particle excitation by a chirped picosecond pulses train can be considerably increased as compared to unchirped pulse train and CW excitation also.     

Low-temperature, solution processing of TiO2 thin films and fabrication of multilayer dielectric optical elements

High-quality TiO₂ thin films have been deposited from aqueous titanium-peroxo solutions via spin coating. The effects of precursor solution pH on the crystallization behavior, morphology, density, and refractive index of the films are reported. From X-ray diffraction measurements, the amorphous as-deposited films are found to crystallize in the anatase phase at 250 °C. Surface and cross-section SEM images reveal that films deposited from an acidic precursor are more uniform and denser than those deposited from a basic precursor. X-ray reflectivity measurements show that films with smooth surfaces and high densities (up to 87% of single-crystal anatase) can be produced at temperatures as low as 300 °C. Measured densities are consistent with high refractive indices at 633 nm of 2.24 and 2.11 for films derived from acidic and basic precursors, respectively. The uniformity and dense nature of the films have allowed fabrication of multilayer dielectric optical elements with thermal processing at only 300 °C. The distributed Bragg reflector with four bilayers exhibits a reflectance of 92% and a stop band width of 150 nm. The optical microcavity has a quality factor of 20. The optical properties of all elements agree well with theoretical models, indicating good optical quality. Use of the precursor chemistry for direct photopatterning of TiO₂ films without a polymer resist is also demonstrated.
