A magnetically tunable non-Bragg defect mode in a corrugated waveguide filled with liquid crystals

A magnetically tunable, non-Bragg defect mode (NBDM) was created in the terahertz frequency range by inserting a defect in the middle of a periodically corrugated waveguide filled with liquid crystals (LCs). In the periodic waveguide, non-Bragg gaps beyond the Bragg ones, which appear in the transmission spectra, are created by different transverse mode resonances. The transmission spectra of the waveguide containing a defect showed that a defect mode was present inside the non-Bragg gap. The NBDM has quite different features compared to the Bragg defect mode, which includes more complex, high-order guided wave modes. In our study, we filled the corrugated waveguide with LCs to realize the tunability of the NBDM. The simulated results showed that the NBDM in a corrugated waveguide filled with LCs can be used in filters, sensors, switches, and other terahertz integrated devices.     

周期变截面波导中的多缺陷态*

设计了一种具有对称结构的多缺陷周期变截面波导,并在其Bragg禁带中实现了多缺陷态的产生。研究表明,通过调整缺陷的个数和长度可实现对缺陷态数目的选择和缺陷态中心频率的调谐。另外,改变重复周期个数可对缺陷态的带宽进行调节。通过对各缺陷态的声场分布进一步分析,我们发现声压沿波导中心轴呈对称或反对称分布。对称缺陷态的最大声能量总是向长度较小的缺陷处偏移,而反对称缺陷态则相反,总是向长度较大的缺陷处偏移。利用这种偏移特性可实现对多缺陷态的声场调控。这不仅使我们对声缺陷态的认识更加深入,更有利于功能型声波导器件的发展与应用。

Coupling of tilting Gaussian beam with hybrid mode in the corrugated waveguide

The mode-conversion loss in the matching between the gaussian beam emanated from the gyrotron and the hybrid mode in the circular corrugated waveguide with the diameter of 2a is discussed. By numerical calculation, it is found that the loss considerably increases and optimum waist sizew ₀ changes when TEM₀₀ mode with the wavelength λ is injected with offset or tilt. By fitting numerical data to the polynomial function, it becomes evident that the scaling formulas of the losses for the off-axis shiftr _d and for the tilt angle θ are derived to be 2.3(r _d /a)² – 2.2(r _d /a)⁴ and 3.9(aα/λ)² – 5.6(aθ/λ)⁴ for fixedw ₀/a=0.643, respectively. To keep the mode-conversion loss ≤1% for the frequency of 168 GHz and 2a=88.9 mm, tilting angle and offset should be less than 0.1 degrees and 2.9 mm, respectively.

Magnetically controllable resonance splitting in a unidirectional waveguide system with coupled cavities

A resonance splitting effect is investigated in a system composed of two cavities coupled by two unidirectional waveguides. Both theoretical analysis and numerical calculations demonstrate that the resonance splitting (indicating a coupling between the cavities) is independent of the phase shift between the cavities, which is in contrast to previous research where reciprocal waveguides are used. Moreover, this splitting can be tunable by an external magnetic field. Our findings offer a possibility to realize effective coupling between remote on‐chip resonators, which is highly demanded in the next‐generation photonic circuits.

     

Propagation properties of a modified surface plasmonic waveguide with an arc slot

We introduce a modified surface plasmonic waveguide with an arc slot. The dependences of distribution of energy flux density, effective index, propagation length and mode area of the symmetric mode supported by this waveguide on geometrical parameters and working wavelength are analysed by using the finite-difference frequency-domain (FDFD) method. Results show that the energy flux density distributes mainly in four corners which are formed by two arcs, and the closer to the corners it is, the stronger the energy flux density will be. The effective index, the propagation length and the mode area are influenced by geometrical parameters, including the width, the thickness and the arc radius of the surface plasmonic waveguide, as well as the working wavelength. It has been shown that the surface plasmonic waveguide with an arc slot has better propagation properties than the surface plasmonic waveguide with a straight slot. This work may be helpful for applying the slot surface plasmonic waveguide to integrated photonics.     

Loss in a rectangular optical waveguide induced by the crossover of a second waveguide

We calculate the loss induced in a single-mode rectangular optical waveguide by the presence of a second waveguide, perpendicular to the first, which crosses over the first waveguide at a variable distance d. Our calculation is applied to the analysis of several doped silica waveguides of practical importance for optical circuit design.     

Influence of mode distortion on the transverse mode competition in large-mode-area amplifiers

In large mode area fiber amplifier, it is difficult to avoid the bend induced mode distortion. With the existence of mode distortion taken into account, a previous transverse mode competition model has been improved. Based on this model and the finite element difference-beam propagation method, the behaviors of bent mode competition are demonstrated and compared with the straight mode competition where the mode distortion is neglected, the comparison and quantitative results show that serious mode distortion can change the appearance of transverse mode competition in bent fiber amplifiers and even drastically degrade the amplifier performance.     

Design and analysis of nano-deep corrugated waveguide grating-based dual-resonant filters in visible and infra-red regions

A theoretical analysis of nano-deep corrugated long-period waveguide gratings on a SU-8 polymer-based channel waveguide with NOA61 optical epoxy coated upper- and lower cladding is presented. The transmission spectra of the gratings show strong rejection bands both at visible (at wavelength region of 450?460 nm) and infra-red (at wavelength region of 1530?1540 nm) regions when a grating period of ?68 μm with optimized grating tooth height is considered. Phase-matching graphs are studied to find the relationship between resonance wavelength and grating period. These results show that the grating parameters significantly affect the characteristics of transmission spectra as well as the resonance wavelength of the grating. Long-period waveguide grating-based band pass filter made by use of same polymer materials are also designed and analyzed. These types of waveguide grating-based filters can widely be used for visible and infra-red wavelength sensing applications.     

Light guidance in a photonic bandgap slab waveguide consisting of two different Bragg reflectors

By means of a zigzag-wave model, we perform a comprehensive analysis of the guided modes of a photonic bandgap slab waveguide that consists of a low-index guiding layer placed between two different Bragg reflectors. We show that the guided modes of the waveguide operate inside the overlapped bandgaps of the two Bragg reflectors. We label each mode with three mode orders, which reflect the features of the mode-field distribution in the guiding layer and the two Bragg reflectors, respectively. We discuss in detail the transmission characteristics of the guided modes, including the dispersion curves, the cutoff conditions, and the confinement factors, and highlight the mode-selection characteristics of the waveguide. We also study the effects of truncating the Bragg reflectors by deriving an analytical expression to show the dependence of the leakage losses of the modes on the numbers of the periods in the truncated Bragg reflectors.

Spike suppression and longitudinal mode selection in a 1.319 μm Nd:YAG laser by high-efficiency intracavity frequency doubling

We describe a flashlamp pumped 1.319 μm Nd:YAG ring laser in which a high-efficiency intracavity frequency doubler is used as a nonlinear output coupler, virtually eliminating all spiking behavior and providing longitudinal mode selection as well. A single frequency, long pulse (>50 μs) output at 660 nm with about 20 W peak power is produced, suitable as a source for visar and other applications where long coherent pulses at relatively high power are required. Experimental results and theoretical analyses are given.     

Optimization of frequency-modulated pulse compression in a sectioned waveguide with a helically corrugated surface

A method of considerably elevating (by 20–30 times) the peak power of frequency-modulated microwave pulses by passive compression in a waveguide with a helically corrugated surface used as a dispersive medium is considered. It is shown that the use of a sectioned compression waveguide (i.e., a waveguide consisting of several sections connected to each other with slightly differing parameters) considerably improves precise tuning of the dispersion characteristic of the system to a desired law of frequency modulation of an input pulse. An algorithm for selecting optimal parameters of the sections is developed, and a high efficiency of the method is demonstrated by several examples.
