The theory of cylindrical photonic wires

The energy modes for a photonic nanowire have been studied and calculated. We model our photonic crystals after Noda et al. (1999) [18] where logs of semiconductor material are stacked to produce photonic band gaps in both the near and far infrared regions. A nominal dispersion relation was adopted in order to achieve qualitatively useful results. Photonic wires were modeled in two schemes, each with two specific geometries. In the first scheme, a pillar of one photonic crystal is embedded in a larger photonic crystal to produce a wire. This pillar was modeled as having either a square or a circular cross-section. The photonic crystals considered consisted of varying proportions of Ga_xAl_1−xAs, so that the wire could be adjusted. The second scheme investigated was a dielectric material for the central pillar, rather than a photonic crystal. Again, circular and square cross sections were considered. It was found that many more modes fit into the near infrared band gap than the far infrared band gap, and that a circular cross-section permits fewer modes. Finally, a dielectric pillar allows for a wire which is physically much smaller than a wire with a photonic crystal in the middle. As many photonic devices include such wires, these qualitative results could be useful in their design.

A wide band-pass filter of broad angle incidence based on one-dimensional metallo-dielectric ternary photonic crystal

A wide band-pass filter has been presented based on one-dimensional metallo-dielectric ternary photonic crystal. ZnS, Ag and MgF₂ are used as the materials of the photonic crystal. The forbidden and allowed bands of the photonic crystal are determined by using the band-edge analysis. The result indicates that the filter has a wide pass band in the visible region and it can block ultraviolet and infrared light. Simulation of the transmission spectra shows that the filter has decent transmittance in the pass band at broad angle incidence ranging from 0° to 70°, which can meet the need of practical use.

Relation between efficiency of second harmonic generation and spectral properties of a one-dimensional photonic crystal

Numerical calculation of second harmonic generation in a photonic crystal consisting of alternating quarter-wave layers of ZnS and SeF₂ pumped by a femtosecond tunable laser is carried out. The results are compared with the spectral characteristics of the photonic crystal obtained with the use of a matrix method for calculating transmission coefficients. It is shown that the maximum efficiency of conversion to the second harmonic takes place at a minimum group velocity mismatch of the pump and second harmonic waves, corresponding to pump frequencies in the range below the band gap edge of the photonic crystal.

Band structure of photonic crystal fibers with silica rings in triangular lattice

The characteristics of the cladding band structure of air-core photonic crystal fibers with silica rings in triangular lattice are investigated by using a standard plane wave method. The numerical results show that light can be localized in the air core by the photonic band gaps of the fiber. By increasing the air-filling fraction, the band gap edges of the low frequency photonic band gaps shift to shorter wavelength, whereas the band gap width decreases linearly. In order to make a specified light fall in the low frequency band gaps of the fiber, the interplay of the silica ring spacing and the air-filling fraction is also analyzed. It shows that the silica ring spacing increases monotonously when the air-filling fraction is increased, and the spacing range increases exponentially. This type fiber might have potential in infrared light transmission.

Experimental characterization of an off-axis scheme for pumping high-power photonic crystal fiber lasers

We experimentally investigate a free-space, off-axis method for pumping high-power photonic crystal fiber (PCF) lasers and amplifiers. The method is based on off-axis injection of the pump beam, exploiting the relatively high numerical aperture of the PCF pump cladding. With this method, we obtain pump coupling efficiency of more than 97 % for incidence angles as high as 30 degrees and show that with more than 60-W pump power the laser efficiency and beam quality do not significantly depend on the incidence angle. Our results indicate that this off-axis pumping method, with its significant advantages over the standard on-axis methods, can be exploited in high-power photonic crystal lasers and amplifiers.

Optical interconnection between different spatial modes using double phase conjugate mirror with polarization alignment system

We propose a fundamental interconnection method using a polarization alignment system for waveguides having different spatial modes. In addition, as an example for the verification of the fundamental operation, we demonstrate an interconnection between a photonic crystal fiber and a laser that have obviously different spatial modes. The polarization alignment system operates synergistically with a self-written waveguide formed with a double phaseconjugate mirror. This technique enables us to interconnect a photonic crystal fiber with a laser source without complicated and time-consuming optical alignment. In this method, although it is not necessary to perform an external control for interconnection, the waveguide most suitable for connection is formed autonomously in a Sn₂P₂S₆:Sb crystal developed for this purpose. There was a marked reduction in the polarization dependence of coupling efficiency, compared with that observed using a stand-alone double phase-conjugate mirror.
