Study on optical gain of one-dimensional photonic crystals with active impurity

Localized fields in the defect mode of one-dimensional photonic crystals with active impurity are studied with the help of the theory of spontaneous emission from two-level atoms embedded in photonic crystals.Numerical simulations demonstrate that the enhancement of stimulated radiation, as well as the phenomena of transmissivity larger than unity and the abnormality of group velocity close to the edges of photonic band gap, are related to the negative imaginary part of the complex effective refractive index of doped layers. This means that the complex effective refractive index has a negative imaginary part, and that the impurity state with very high quality factor and great state density will occur in the photonic forbidden band if active impurity is introduced into the defect layer properly. Therefore, the spontaneous emission can be enhanced, the amplitude of stimulated emission will be very large and it occurs most probably close to the edges of photonic band gap with the fundamental reason, the group velocity close to the edges of band gap is very small or abnormal.

Subluminal to superluminal pulse propagation through one-dimensional photonic crystals with a three-level atomic defect layer

Propagation of an electromagnetic pulse through one-dimensional photonic crystals with a three- level atomic defect layer is discussed. It is shown that the group velocity of the transmitted pulse can be controlled by the frequency detuning and the width of the defect layer. Moreover, the effects of controlling parameter such as Rabi-frequency on light propagation through one-dimensional photonic crystals are then introduced.     

Entangling atoms in photonic crystals

We propose a method for entangling a system of two-level atoms in photonic crystals. The atoms are assumed to move in void regions of a photonic crystal. The interaction between the atoms is mediated either via a defect mode or via a resonant dipole-dipole interaction. We show that these interactions can produce pure entangled atomic states. We analyze the problem with parameters typical for currently existing photonic crystals and Rydberg atoms and we show that the atoms can emerge from photonic crystals in entangled states. Depending on the linear dimensions of the crystal we estimate that a pair of atoms entangled in a photonic crystal can be separated by tens of centimeters.

Phase control of group velocity in one-dimensional photonic crystal with a dispersive defect layer

Propagation of an electromagnetic pulse through one-dimensional photonic crystal doped with three-level ο-type atomic systems is discussed. It is found that in the presence of quantum interference and incoherent pump, the transmitted pulse becomes completely phase dependent. So, the group velocity of the transmitted pulse can be switched from subluminal to superluminal light propagation just by adjusting the relative phase of applied fields.

Stimulated emission from two-dimensional nested rectangle photonic crystal fibers

In this paper, we use the theory of spontaneous emission of two-level atoms embedded in photonic crystals. The unavoidable existence of a localized field with a defect mode and its basic properties are confirmed, which enables one to study the inherent laws of spontaneous emission from doped media. We combine the theory of spontaneous emission with numerical simulation for studying stimulated emission in a doped localized field and conditions for increasing the emission. The inherent laws for the cases where transmissivity is larger than unity and the negative imaginary part of the complex refractive index in doped compound lattices appears are also studied. The analysis of two-dimensional nested rectangle photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) with and without active impurities was performed using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. We find that, when active impurities are introduced into photonic crystal fibers, the negative imaginary part of the complex refractive index appears and the doped mode with high quality factor and great mode density occurs in the photonic forbidden band, thus amplifying substantially the stimulated emission.

表层厚度渐变一维耦合腔光子晶体的反射相位特性及其应用

利用传输矩阵法研究了表层厚度渐变的一维非对称耦合腔光子晶体的反射相位特性. 研究表明, 光子禁带内(包括缺陷模附近)的反射率在98%以上, 且基本不受表层厚度影响, 特别是, 在非正入射情况下, 简并的缺陷模随着表层厚度的变化会发生分裂; 进一步研究发现, 在缺陷模分裂处附近, TE, TM偏振的反射相位以及它们之间的相位差均敏感地依赖于表层厚度的变化, 从而使得反射光的偏振态也随表层厚度的变化而敏感变化, 其物理机理在于缺陷模分裂所造成的剧烈相位变化. 基于上述特性, 设计了一种表层厚度呈二维周期变化的一维光子晶体结构, 从该结构反射的激光经透镜聚焦后, 在聚焦区域同时存在各种偏振态(包括沿不同方向的线偏振、左旋或右旋圆偏振、椭圆偏振等)的子光束, 它们叠加后在聚焦区域将产生具有无规相位和无规偏振态的光场. 以上结果能有效降低激光的相干性, 在激光核聚变等领域有潜在的应用价值.

Optimum small-scale management of random beam perturbations in a femtosecond laser pulse

The geometric phase of a three-level atom interacting with single-mode in the presence of the one-dimensional photonic band gap material is studied. We consider dipole emitters situated in the thin slab region between two semi-infinite one-dimensionally periodic photonic crystals, a situation reminiscent of planar cavity laser structures. It shows that the Pancharatnam phase depends crucially on the presence of the photonic band gap. This feature is attributed to the fact that in the photonic band gap region electromagnetic modes are not allowed to propagate into the dielectric slab and hence no interaction can take place in this region. The outcomes are illustrated with numerical simulations applied to GaAs. PACS 03.67.-a; 32.80.Pj; 42.50.Ct; 42.65.Yj; 03.75.-b     

用一维光子带隙结构增强硫化镉双光子吸收研究

用真空镀膜方法制备了含有单个CdS缺陷层的具有不同周期和结构参量的TiO2／SiO2一维光子晶体。用抽运一探测技术研究了CdS缺陷层的双光子吸收（TPA）现象。实验结果表明：一维光子晶体中CdS缺陷层的双光子吸收显著增强。不同周期和结构参量的一维光子晶体中CdS缺陷层的双光子吸收系数不同。双光子吸收的增强来源于由光局域化导致的缺陷层的电场强度的增加。缺陷层电场强度与一维光子晶体的结构有关,如周期,光子带隙的位置与宽度及缺陷模式等因素都会影响缺陷层电场强度。采用四分之一波长的高低折射率介质层和与入射波长匹配的缺陷模可以得到最大的缺陷层电场强度。     

Band-structure properties of photonic superlattices

The band structure of a one-dimensional periodic array composed of two different layers of dimensions a and b characterized by refractive indices n ₁ and n ₂, respectively, is investigated. Refractive indices may take on positive as well as negative values. Within the Maxwell framework and using a transfer matrix technique for one dimensional periodic eigen-problems, we have determined a general equation, which governs the photonic band structure and the density of states (DOS) of one-dimensional photonic crystals. In addition to the well-known existence of the band gaps, we show that, depending on the width relationship b/a between the layer materials, super-lattices with null photonic band gap may exist and the conditions for such occurrences are established. Furthermore, we have been able to study the so-called 〈n〉 = 0 non-Bragg gap, ground ω₀, for which the average refraction felt by the propagating radiation is null.
