一维光子晶体掺杂缺陷模研究

用特征矩阵法计算了光波在包含多种掺杂缺陷的一维光子晶体中的传播规律,与不包含缺陷的结构相比较,在禁带中形成缺陷模。缺陷模的位置、数目和强度不仅和缺陷的产生方式有关,还和缺陷位置处的光学厚度及折射率的变化有关。当掺杂缺陷的位置呈等间距时,相应缺陷模也呈等间距排列。随着掺杂缺陷光学厚度的变化,缺陷模的位置、数目也随之变化。保持掺杂缺陷光学厚度不变,掺杂缺陷折射率的变化将会引起缺陷模强度的变化,并存在一个最大值。缺陷模的出现一般使带隙加宽,尤其是掺杂介质的折射率与周期介质的折射率差别较大时更加明显。掺杂空气介质时可使缺陷模的透射率近似为1。     

Fundamental losses in planar Bragg waveguides

This paper considers a planar Bragg waveguide. The guided modes and their dissipation due to the fundamental absorption are described. In the interacting-wave approximation, an analytical relation between the characteristics of the modes and parameters of the Bragg-waveguide geometry was established. Absorption losses in hollow Bragg waveguides were shown to be significantly lower than in a regular waveguide fabricated from the same material. Quantitative estimates of the fundamental and radiation losses in Bragg waveguides are given for materials used at wavelengths of 1.55, 10.6, and 0.245 μm.     

Propagation and radiation characteristics of the circular electric, circular magnetic and hybrid waveguide modes

The field distributions and propagation constants of the circular electric, circular magnetic and hybrid modes of oversized waveguides are expressed, taking the effects of walls into account. These effects are described by wall functions which depend on surface impedances of the wall, and are determined for different types of guides. The near and far field patterns are derived in the case of real wall functions. It is shown that, for very oversized waveguides, the terms containing wall functions can be ignored in the calculations, and it results that the expressions of fields and propagation constants become independent of the types of waveguides. An application to corrugated waveguides for Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating experiments shows the variations of the radiation characteristics versus geometric parameters of the corrugations and determines the ranges of interest for these parameters.     

Analysis of Bragg reflection waveguides with finite cladding: An accurate matrix method formulation

Ideal Bragg reflection waveguides (BRWs) are assumed to have an infinitely extended periodic cladding whereas in practice, the cladding of BRWs is of a finite extent. Bloch theorem is widely used to analyze the propagation characteristics of the BRWs. Since Bloch theorem is ideally valid only for an infinitely extended periodic medium, its application to study such BRWs is an approximation. We present a matrix method for a more accurate analysis of finite-clad BRWs and estimate the extent of errors involved in the values of the propagation constant obtained by the Bloch wave formalism. The proposed method can be used to obtain the mode effective indices as well as the radiation loss of a finite-clad BRW without resorting to solving any complex transcendental equation. In addition, since the method does not inherently assume a periodic cladding, it can also be used to analyze symmetric multi-channel BRWs, chirped structures and directional couplers.     

Modelling of rib waveguide bends for sensor applications

Wave propagation through curved bends in integrated optical waveguides is governed by the evanescent field and the radiation loss of the eigenmodes. Since these parameters are influenced by the refractive index of the surrounding medium, circular bends in rib waveguides have been successfully employed as chemical sensors for liquids and gases. In this paper the electromagnetic field, the refractive index and the radiation loss of the eigenmodes are precisely determined by a fully vectorial approach based on the method of lines. An axial discretization and Bessel functions of complex order are employed for the rigorous computation of the evanescent field. The intensity distributions of the first modes in a rib waveguide are presented. The influence of the rib height on the sensitivity of the modal index to the refractive index of the surrounding medium is investigated. The results are useful for the optimization of the sensor design.     

Modal analysis and dispersion curves of a curvilinear triangular cored light guide using Goell's point matching method

This paper gives, in brief the theoretical and computational investigation of a new light guide having a curvilinear triangular core cross-section. This structure is here introduced for the first time and may be conceived as a distortion of a rectangular core cross-section. Using Goell's point matching method under weak guidance approximation, the modal characteristics equations for the lowest order mode have been derived in two cases. In one case, all the sides of the proposed light guide are bounded by dielectric material. In other case we will consider all the sides bounded by conducting materials. From these equations the modal dispersion curves are obtained and compared. It is seen that the dielectric light guide supports more modes than the metallic light guide. Thus, metallic light guide may be used as a mode filter.

Modes splitting in graphene-based double-barrier waveguides

The graphene-based double-barrier waveguides induced by electric field have been investigated. The guided modes can only exist in the case of Klein tunneling, and the fundamental mode is absent. The guided modes in the single-barrier waveguide split into symmetric and antisymmetric modes with different incident angles in the double-barrier waveguide.The phase difference between electron states and hole states is also discussed. The phase difference for the two splitting modes is close to each other and increases with the order of guided modes. These phenomena can be helpful for the potential applications in graphene-based optoelectronic devices.     

Coupling reducing k-points for photonic crystal fiber calculations

When describing localized electromagnetic modes in dielectric waveguides by the planewave method, a supercell geometry must necessarily be adopted. We demonstrate in the present work that the convergence of the calculations with respect to supercell size depends strongly on the choice of the transverse Bloch wave vector, k. We describe a method to derive k-points that minimize the coupling between repeated images of the guided modes in real space. Calculations have been done for a quadratic and a triangular photonic crystal fiber structure. With the new coupling reducing (CR) k-points, the convergence of the eigenfrequencies for both the fundamental and second order modes with respect to supercell size is considerably improved. The general approach outlined may also be applied in the case of three-dimensional photonic crystal structures.     

Radiation gas dynamics of Martian space vehicles

The calculation data on convective and radiation heating of the Pathfinder space vehicle (SV) during entry into the Martian atmosphere at an angle of attack are presented. Comparison with the results of calculations of convective heating of the frontal surface of the Pathfinder SV in the axisymmetric statement is carried out. The data on the radiation heating of the Pathfinder SV entering the Martian atmosphere at an angle of attack have been obtained for the first time. The analysis of the spectral composition of the thermal radiation reaching the surface of the space vehicle is carried out; this makes it possible to mark the change of modes of the radiation heating.     

X-ray surface waves generated by the resonant coherent excitation of relativistic ions in crystals

X-ray ion radiation, caused by resonant coherent excitation (RCE) in a crystal, arises at the crystal-vacuum interface and propagates along the surface, generating a so-called surface wave. The dependence between the surface-wave intensity and the departure angle of characteristic X-ray radiation upon RCE is investigated in a kinematic approximation of diffraction theory. It has been shown that the angular dependence for the intensity of this radiation leaving the crystal surface differs substantially from the radiation intensity inherent to the decay of ion states excited by RCE.
