Light propagation in linear arrays of spherical particles

A propagation of dipolar radiation in a finite length linear chain of identical dielectric spheres is investigated using the multisphere Mie scattering formalism (MSMS). A frequency pass band is shown to be formed near every Mie resonances inherent in the spheres. The manifestation of the pass band depends on the polarization of the travelling radiation. To prove this effect, a point dipole placed by the end of the chain is used as an external source of radiation. It is found that, if this dipole is directed parallel to the chain axis, the frequency pass bands exist if the refractive index of dielectric spheres is sufficiently large nr>1.9. For the dipole normal to the chain axis, the pass band can always be formed if the chain is sufficiently long. Such a distinction is due to different behavior of the far-field dipolar interaction between the spheres induced by the external source. The edges of the pass bands are defined by the guiding wave criterion based on the light-cone constraint. The criterion of creation of the pass bands correlate with condition of formation of high quality factor modes in these systems found in our previous papers. A comparison with the results available for infinite chains is made. In particular, we clarify the nature of braking down the band structure for small enough wavevectors.     

Simultaneous dual mode add/drop multiplexers for optical interconnects buses

For the potential realization of optical interconnect scheme based on modal diversity, we propose and analyze efficient mode add drop multiplexers (MADM). Each of the two types of MADM proposed here enables a simultaneous two channels (modes) add/drop to/from a multimode bus. The simultaneous operation is of importance in reducing the device footprint within the expected ultra-dense interconnects schemes. We developed analytical design rules for the adiabatic devices and verified by simulation that an implementation based on Silicon over Insulator waveguides, is exhibiting low loss and low channels crosstalk (below −22 dB).     

Design and fabrication of optical power splitters with large port count

We design and fabricate compact, low loss, and high port-count optical power splitters of 1 × 128 and 2 × 128 using silica-based planar lightwave circuit(PLC) technology on 6 inch quartz substrate. PLC technology is mainly based on plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, photolithography, and etching. The measured results show that the insertion loss, uniformity, and wavelength-dependent loss of 1 × 128 and 2 × 128 optical power splitters are less than 23, 1.43, and 0.92 dB and 23.3, 1.8, and 1.3 dB, respectively, in the wavelength range from 1.26 to 1.65 mm. The polarization-dependent losses are less than 0.16 and 0.2 dB, respectively, in the wavelengths of 1.31, 1.49, and 1.55 mm.     

Graded-index ridge surface plasmon polaritons waveguide

We propose and analyze a long-range dielectric-loaded surface plasmon polariton （SPP） waveguide based on graded-index ridge over server millimeter distances. Then the influence of the dielectric thickness and the ridge refractive index on propagation length and mode width is discussed and simulated with the finite ele- ment raethod. The result shows that the SPP can propagate as long as 3.42 mm, as well as the mode width keeping as 1.64μm, a better one compared with the fixed refractive index. Considering its nanoscale dimension and outstanding performance, the structure is easily realized when connected with electrodes.     

New design of triplexer based on metal–insulator–metal plasmonic ring resonators

In this work, we propose a new design of all-optical triplexer based on of metal–insulator–metal（MIM） plasmonic waveguide structures and ring resonators. By adjusting the radii of ring resonators and the gap distance, certain wavelengths can be filtered out and the crosstalk of each channel can also be reduced. The numerical results show that the proposed MIM plasmonic waveguide structure can really function as an optical triplexer with respect to the three wavelengths, that is, 1310, 1490, and 1550 nm, respectively. It can be widely used as the fiber access network element for multiplexer–demultiplexer wavelength selective in fiber-to-the-home communication systems with transmission efficiency higher than 90%. It can also be a potential key component in the applications of the biosensing systems.

Diffraction characteristics of chirped femtosecond laser pulse by rectangle reflection grating

The spectral and temporal intensity distribution expression for the chirped femtosecond laser pulse diffracted by a rectangle reflection grating is derived. The effects of the chirped coefficient on the spatiotemporal and spectral characteristics are theoretically investigated in detail, and a criterion for judging whether or not the diffraction pulse is just split into two independent pulses in the temporal domain is obtained. The results show that the envelope curve of spectral intensity on the diffraction axis is more blue-shift, and its full width at e^? 1 maximum is wider for bigger chirped coefficient. The principal maximum on the temporal axis can split into two independent principal maximums for enough height from the upper and the nether reflection surface of the grating. Each principal maximum splits into two smooth pulses, namely one principal pulse and one secondary pulse, and the secondary pulse gradually increases with the increasing of the chirped coefficient; the duration of two principal pulses increases with the increasing of the height of the upper and the nether reflection surface of the grating.

Fabrication of widely tunable ridge waveguide DBR lasers for WDM-PON

We report the fabrication of widely tunable ridge waveguide distributed Bragg reflector(DBR) lasers with InGaAsP butt-joint as grating material. The shape of the butt–joint interface is found to have significant effect on the properties of the lasers. It is shown that irregular mode jumps during wavelength tuning can be avoided by a V-shaped butt–joint interface. From the fabricated device, 23 channels with 0.8 nm spacing and greater than 35 dB side mode suppression ratios are obtained. The different tuning characteristics of the ridge waveguide and the previously reported buried ridge stripe DBR lasers are discussed. Combined with the wide tuning range and the simple structure, the ridge waveguide DBR lasers are promising for use in wavelength division multiplexing passive optical networks(WDM-PONs).

Mode switching in a gyrotron with azimuthally corrugated resonator

The operation of a gyrotron having a cylindrical resonator with an azimuthally corrugated wall is analyzed. In such a device, wall corrugation cancels the degeneracy of the modes with azimuthally standing patterns. The coupling between these modes depends on the radius of electron beam. It is shown that such a gyrotron can be easily switched from one mode to another. When the switching is done with the repetition frequency equal to the rotational frequency of magnetic islands, this sort of operation can be used for suppression of neoclassical tearing modes in large-scale tokamaks and stellarators.     

Investigation of beam characteristics in toric unstable optical resonator

In this paper the characteristics of the output beam of a toric unstable resonator are investigated. Based on the Fresnel–Kirchhof integral and using numerical methods, the performance of toric unstable resonators is simulated and its output beam characteristics are also evaluated. Geometrical resonator parameters, i.e. Fresnel number and magnification as well as the output coupler diameter, are considered in this investigation. The radial and azimuthal modes of the resonator are calculated and the modal behavior of the resonator is described according to geometrical parameters. The power extraction for each specific laser mode has also been inspected by calculating the finesse factor. Using an iteration mode convergence diagram, the mode discrimination of the resonator is investigated.

Transmission characteristics of a Fabry-Perot etalon-microtoroid resonator coupled system

The transmission spectra of a Fabry-Perot etalon coupled to a microtoroid resonator are studied theoretically and experimentally. The resonance line shapes depend strongly on the resonance wavelength detuning and coupling strength between the two resonators. A wide variety of line shapes, ranging from a single to triple peaks, symmetric to asymmetric Fano-like peaks, and notches were predicted and observed experimentally. The capability to modify the spectral line shapes by tuning the coupling between or losses of two resonators may find applications in optical filtering, switching, sensing, and dispersion engineering.

把圆形高斯镜平凹腔自再现模的衍射积分方程转化为有限阶的矩阵方程,在平面输出镜呈高斯分布的镜面变形时,数值计算了激光场模式的场强、相位分布和模式本征值。结果表明,当变形量较小时,随着变形量的增加,镜面上光场的分布范围增大,也就说明模体积增大,但镜面光场仍保持拉盖尔-高斯光束基模特征,相位由平面慢慢变得凸起,远场分布变化不明显。当变形量较大时,光场分布开始发生畸变。从模式本征值的变化看,在一定的变形范围内,本征值下降不多,说明较小的变形量对激光损耗影响不大,仍能使激光较稳定输出。在圆形高斯镜平凹腔输出镜发生不大的高斯状变形的情况下,仍有维持输出高质量激光束的能力。
