Analysis of plasma photonic crystal with a tunable band gap using parallel method

This paper presents a parallel frequency-dependent finite-difference time-domain ((FD)²TD) method for plasma in the dispersive media. Results obtained with parallel and serial algorithms verify that parallel (FD)²TD has the same precision as the serial (FD)²TD, while the parallel approach could reduce the CPU time efficiently. A tunable filter is analyzed based on a one-dimensional photonic crystal containing a plasma defect by this method. The tunability of the photonic crystal filter can be achieved by adjusting the defect layer parameters instead of changing the dimension of photonic crystal.     

Full-vectorial analysis of bending waveguides using finite difference method based on H-fields in cylindrical coordinate systems

A full-vectorial (FV) analysis of optical dielectric waveguide bends by using finite difference (FD) method in terms of magnetic field components is developed in a local cylindrical coordinate system. The perfectly matched layer absorbing boundary conditions via the complex coordinate stretching technique are incorporated into the FV wave equations for effectively demonstrating the leaky nature of waveguide bends, and a six-point FD scheme is constructed to approximate the cross-coupling terms for improving the convergent behavior. The leaky modes of a typical rib waveguide bend are calculated and the complex propagation constants and the field patterns for TE- and TM-like modes are obtained. Solutions are good agreement with those from the film mode matching method, which shows the validity and utility of the established method.     

Rapid construction of solid-state magnetic resonance powder spectra from frequencies and amplitudes as applied to ESEEM

In many Fourier-transform spectroscopies, such as pulse magnetic resonance (NMR, EPR), time-domain signals are acquired. Parameters are extracted from these signals by fitting numerical simulations to the experimental data. At present, simulations are often performed in frequency domain (FD). These computations generate a list of frequencies and amplitudes associated with the complex exponential components evolving during one or several variable time intervals. In order to compare simulations with experiments, this peak list is converted to a finite-length time-domain (TD) signal. This can be achieved either by directly evoluting the exponentials in time (direct method) or by rounding their frequencies and binning their amplitudes into a frequency-domain array (histogram method). The first approach is equivalent to a brute-force TD simulation and is slow for a large number of peaks. The second approach is a fast, but very crude approximation and is usually applied without considering in detail the errors involved. A third method introduced and illustrated here is based on the convolution and deconvolution of a short finite impulse response filter kernel. This convolution approach is much faster than the direct method and by orders of magnitude more accurate than the histogram method. For both TD and FD signals a detailed analysis of the errors and of the associated computational costs is presented. The convolution approach is applicable to any simulation problem where TD signals consist of a large number of complex exponentials. In particular, it is the method of choice for simulating 1D and 2D electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) spectra of disordered systems.     

Imaging through scattering medium by recording 3D “spatial-frequential” interferograms

Speed acquisition for image formation process through scattering medium is a challenge in optical coherence tomography (OCT) approach. Besides time domain (TD), spectral Fourier domain (FD) is now widely studied. By using a swept laser source, we demonstrate that a particular time domain OCT method (optical SISAM correlator) can be simultaneously implemented in a single set-up with the corresponding Fourier domain OCT approach (spectral interferometry). Then, FD-OCT and TD-OCT signals are obtained by processing a 3D “spatial-frequential” interferences pattern. We show that these two numerical approaches can be complementary when imaging in scattering medium is achieved.

The Design of Single Mode Large Cross-section Glass-based Waveguides for Photonic Integrated Circuits

This paper presents our recent simulation results and novel designs of single mode large cross-section glass-based waveguides for photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Simulations were performed using an in-house Finite Difference (FD) based mode solver and the FD Beam propagation Method (FD-BPM). Our simulation results show that this innovative technology could provide a simplified means to couple optical energy efficiently between optical components in a single chip. This would provide the base for the future large-scale integration of optical components in PICs. The novel idea of using single mode large cross-section glass-based waveguides as an optical integration platform is an evolutionary innovative solution for the monolithic integration of optical components, in which the glass-based structures act both as waveguides and as an optical bench for integration. This allows easy and efficient optical coupling between optical components and optical fibres, removing costly and tedious alignment problems and considerably reducing optical coupling losses in PICs. We expect that the glass-based waveguide PICs technology will enable the emergence of a new generation of compact, reliable, high speed, and multifunctional devices.
