Magnetically Tunable Terahertz Switch and Band-Pass Filter

A novel design of a tunable terahertz switch and band-pass filter using liquid-crystal-filled photonic crystal waveguide is demonstrated. The effects of magnetic field on the photonic bandgaps and transmitting properties of a THz wave are investigated by using the plane wave expansion method and finite difference time domain method. The efficient photonic bandgap tuning is predicted such that the two-dimensional liquid-crystal-filled photonie crystal waveguide can serve as a switch and continuously tunable band-pass filter with controlling of the magnetic field.     

Magnetic switching and spin filtering in an edge-state device based on HgTe waveguides

We investigate theoretically the edge channel transport in a HgTe waveguide modulated bytwo magnetic barriers. For an electron incident from a quantum-spin-Hall state in leads,the transmission can depend strongly on the relative orientation (parallel orantiparallel) of the two magnetic barriers as its energy is near the bulk conduction bandof leads. For the antiparallel configuration, the transmission is spin-independent and canbe suppressed drastically. For the parallel configuration, the electron can transmitnearly perfectly for a proper spin orientation. This contrast in transmission indicatesthat the proposed edge-state device may serve as a magnetic switch and a spin filter.     

Magnetotransport in a dual waveguide coupled by a finite barrier： Energy filter and directional coupler

We propose in this paper that a dual waveguide coupled by a finite barrier be able to serve as an energy filter under a perpendicular magnetic field. In the waveguide direction, the conductance exhibits a periodic square-wave pattern in which the miniband is controlled by the magnetic and potential modulation. The electrons with energies in the miniband can completely transfer along one waveguide while the other electrons undergo filtration. Compared with the coupled waveguide without magnetic modulation, the structure under magnetic field is found to be a good directional coupler. By adjusting the potential barrier and magnetic field, the electrons input from one port of waveguide can transfer to any other ports.

Finite element analysis of optically controlled non-linear directional coupler switches

Optically controlled two-way optical switches are useful for high-speed photonic switches and rapidly reconfigurable optical interconnection networks. A directional coupler forms such a switch because the field can be switched from one waveguide to the other by altering the optical length of the waveguide. Nonlinear materials are incorporated in the waveguide so that the optical path length may be altered by using an optical control beam to vary the intensity of light. A finite element method is described that enables the modelling of the non-linear dual waveguide structure for arbitrary waveguide shapes. Spurious modes are avoided in the transverse magnetic field method and non-linearity is handled by iteration and assuming an equivalent non-linear relative permittivity.
