Optical properties of a periodic one-dimensional semiconductor-organic photonic crystal in UV region

Optical properties of a one-dimensional semiconductor-organic photonic crystal with periodic AlN/3-octylthiophenes (P3OT) multilayer structure are exhibited and confirmed by a calculation of the transfer matrix method (TMM). An AlN/P3OT multilayer structure displays incomplete photonic band gap behavior in the UV region. The AlN/P3OT multilayers with four pairs of 35-nm-AlN and 35-nm-P3OT layers exhibit a high reflectivity of 89% and less absorption of 10% at a wavelength of about 300 nm. These results demonstrate the AlN/P3OT multilayer structure could be a good candidate for absolute inhibition of reflection in the ultraviolet region for a given orientation.

Studying the extremely short external cavity semiconductor laser with ray tracing method

Based on the ray tracing method, the implicit expression of the output spectrum of the extremely short external cavity semiconductor laser (ESECSL) is derived, and the output spectrum and P-I characteristic of the ESECSL are investigated. The results show that: when the length of external cavity is changed at the order of wavelength, the P-I characteristics of the ESECSL will undergo significant changes; with the variation of the external cavity length, the lasing wavelength of ESECSL will behave cyclical jump in the range of 10 nm. Especially, for the external cavity length changed within the range of 40-70 μm, the jump range of the lasing wavelength will reach the maximum. The simulations well agree with the experimental results reported.

Nonlinear dynamics of a directly modulated semiconductor laser with cavity detuning

A detailed numerical study of dynamical behavior of a semiconductor laser under current modulation and cavity detuning has been performed on the base of four different models of the active medium which take into account direct transitions between ground subbands, transitions with no k-selection rule between ground subbands and contribution of excited subbands in each of the above-mentioned cases. We have shown that different nonlinear regimes (period doubling, chaos, generalized bistability) can be obtained either with cavity detuning from the gain band maximum or near the laser threshold.It has been established that the shape and principal peculiarities of amplitude detuning characteristics are determined by the relation between the current modulation frequency and maximum resonance frequency of the laser.PACS numbers: 05.45.Pq, 42.55.Px, 42.65.Sf     

Band gap characteristics of plasma with periodically varying external magnetic field

The reflectance characteristics of a one-dimensional periodically magnetized plasma structure is studied by using the transfer matrix method. It is found that this system has the band gap characteristics of photonic crystals, so we also name it a plasma photonic crystal. The results show that the gap location and gap width can be controlled by the incident angle. If the external magnetic field is small, the gap location and gap width change significantly with incident angle, while they change only slightly when the external magnetic field is sufficiently large. The collision frequency has little effect on the gap location and gap width while it makes the amplitude of reflectance and transmission decrease. This new type of plasma photonic crystal could have potential applications in designing tunable photonic crystal devices.

用特征矩阵法研究了由正常色散SiO₂/TiO₂薄膜组成的Fibonacci序列一维光子晶体在可见光波段的传输特性,并与无色散时的传输特性做了对比。结果表明,随序列项数的增加,相应的前一序列的透射谱中透射率较低的凹带逐渐变成禁带,禁带数增加;初始介质是低折射率的SiO₂薄膜时比高折射率的TiO₂薄膜时各序列的透射谱中的禁带数多,各禁带的宽度和中心波长基本相同;在总厚度一定的条件下,随SiO₂薄膜的厚度增大（TiO₂薄膜的厚度减小）,禁带的宽度减小,禁带的中心波长基本不变;随入射角增大,禁带的中心波长向短波方向移动,禁带宽度变小。在其它相同条件下,无色散时的最宽禁带和最宽禁带的中心波长比有色散时的最宽禁带和最宽禁带的中心波长都有增加。
