一种由椭圆形金属和介质纳米线组成的混合表面等离子体光波导的基模控制特性研究

本文研究了一种由三根并排放置的椭圆形金属-介质-金属纳米线构成的混合表面等离子体光波导所支持的电磁场基模的控制特性,中间是高折射率的介质纳米线,左右是两根对称放置的金属纳米线。研究结果表明,基模电磁场增强效应主要分布在三根纳米线形成的两个间隙区域,且对整个结构的几何参数有一定依赖性。因此,通过改变纳米线的几何尺寸、两根纳米线之间的间距以及介质的电磁参数,可以调整和控制这种波导所支持的基模的有效折射率、模式传输距离、归一化的模式面积和模式束缚因子等物理特性。基于这些有效的模式操控特性,这种混合型的表面等离子体光波导可以应用于高密度光子器件集成、纳米光子学和生物传感器等领域。

带有多孔二氧化硅间隔层的导模共振光栅实现染料激光器发射增强

导模共振光栅是一种典型的平面波导共振结构,可在光栅表面或波导层内形成较强的局域电场,能增强光与物质的相互作用.本文在导模共振结构的光栅层和基底层之间,引入低折射率的多孔二氧化硅间隔层,显著增强了局域电场与增益介质的接触度.结果表明,引入多孔二氧化硅后,共振产生的电场增强区域上移至激光染料层,增加了激光染料与电场的相互作用,实现了激光出射增强.本文基于时域有限差分法,对结构参数进行分析优化,研究了820 nm共振波长激发下的出射激光特性,得到了连续的激光出射,其能量阈值约为2.5 mJ/cm^2,线宽约为0.3 nm.本文提出的结构实现了对表面局域电场的有效调控,增强了激发光与增益介质的相互作用,不但可应用于激光器,还为其它发光器件的设计提供了参考.     

左手介质矩形波导的吸收特性

采用微扰法研究了左手介质矩形波导的吸收特性。由于色散方程的限制,左手介质波导不能传输基模,它的吸收特性也与右手介质矩形波导明显不同。结果发现, 模式的衰减系数随长宽比(a/b)的增加而减小,而在右手介质波导中结果恰恰相反。除此之外,当不同模式的光波在同一左手介质矩形波导中传输时,每一模式都对应着相邻很近的吸收峰和吸收谷。同时高阶模的衰减系数较低阶模的大。但是,当不同模式的光波在同一右手介质矩形波导中传输时,它们的衰减曲线随着波导宽度的增加而振荡的变化,并且趋近于芯层衰减系数。另外一方面,在右手波导中,高阶模式的衰减系数较低阶模式小。

A theoretical investigation of field components for transverse electric mode in the parallel-plate waveguides has been studied. In this analysis two different types of waveguide structures have been discussed, i.e., (a) normal good/perfect conducting parallel-plate waveguide filled with nonlinear left-handed material and (b) high-temperature-superconducting parallel-plate waveguide filled with nonlinear left-handed material. The dispersion relations of transverse electric mode have also been discussed for these two types of waveguide structures.

Field enhancement effect of metal probe in evanescent field

Field enhancement effect of metal probe in evanescent field, induced by using a multi-layers structure for exciting surface plasmon resonance （SPR）, is analyzed numerically by utilizing two-dimensional （2D） TM- wave finite difference time-domain （FDTD） method. In this letter, we used a flmdamental mode Gaussian beam to induce evanescent field, and calculated the electric intensity. The results show that compared with the nonmetal probe, the metal probe has a larger field enhancement effect, and its scattering wave induced by field enhancement has a bigger decay coefficient. The field enhancement effect should conclude that the metal probe has an important application in nanolithography.     

Numerical simulations of terahertz double-negative metamaterial with isotropic-like fishnet structure

The isotropic-like fishnet metamaterial with an array of cross-shaped holes penetrating through the multiple layers has been numerically studied in the terahertz regime. Its left-handed properties are described by the retrieved effect media parameters and validated by the simulation of a wedge-shaped model. The influences of the various geometrical parameters on the electromagnetic response and the left-handed performance are investigated. This isotropic-like fishnet metamaterial has the advantage of lower losses and higher transmission and holds potential for further applications at higher frequencies.     

Optical field enhancement in nanoscale slot waveguides of hyperbolic metamaterials

Nanoscale slot waveguides of hyperbolic metamaterials are proposed and demonstrated for achieving large optical field enhancement. The dependence of the enhanced electric field within the air slot on waveguide mode coupling and permittivity tensors of hyperbolic metamaterials is analyzed both numerically and analytically. Optical intensity in the metamaterial slot waveguide can be more than 25 times stronger than that in a conventional silicon slot waveguide, due to tight optical mode confinement enabled by the ultrahigh refractive indices supported in hyperbolic metamaterials. The electric field enhancement effects are also verified with the realistic metal-dielectric multilayer waveguide structure.     

Resonant waveguide field enhancement in dimers

It is shown that a waveguide mode, which exists between metal dimer particles and does not cut off, produces an enhanced electric field and hence a mechanism for surface-enhanced Raman scattering. Structures can thus be designed that provide large average field enhancement over significant length scales.     

Ultra-narrow bandwidth resonant reflection grating filters using the second diffracted orders

In this paper, we design resonant reflection grating filters employing the second diffracted orders as the leaky modes, then analyze the bandwidth of the reflection peak and the electric field distributions inside the waveguide under resonance. The numeric calculation confirms that ultra-narrow resonant reflection peaks can be observed in these structures. At the same time, strong electric field enhancement appears under resonance. It provides a new approach to diversify the resonant reflection filters and may open a new way to the realization of ultra-narrow bandwidth filters.     

Numerical Study of Low-Loss Cross Left-Handed Metamaterials at Visible Frequency

We present a numerical study of left-handed metamaterials （LHMs） composed of double cross pairs at visible frequency. The S-parameter retrieval method is adopted to confirm the negative refractive characteristic of this design. Compared with fishnet LHMs~ the proposed cross LHMs have a much lower loss, which will greatly facilitate practical applications. It is also found that, with the same size of resonant cells, the cross LHMs have a higher frequency than fishnet LHMs, which is explained using a simple effective LC circuit model.     

The surface mode supported by an asymmetrical waveguide containing left-handed materials

The propagating characteristics of surface mode supported by an asymmetrical three-layer waveguide containing left-hand materials are studied in detail. The forward and the backward surface modes have been identified respectively through the slope of dispersion curve and the total energy flux of the structure. Research shows that anti-symmetry mode corresponds to forward surface wave. Furthermore, to symmetry mode, the type of surface mode depends on the distribution of the electric field in the left-handed layer. It is found that, the conversion between backward surface wave and forward surface wave is realizable by varying the thickness of the left-handed layer and the permittivity of the substrate.
