Dispersion characteristics of two-dimensional unmagnetized dielectric plasma photonic crystal

This paper studies dispersion characteristics of the transverse magnetic (TM) mode for two-dimensional unmagnetized dielectric plasma photonic crystal by a modified plane wave method. First, the cutoff behaviour is made clear by using the Maxwell--Garnett effective medium theory, and the influences of dielectric filling factor and dielectric constant on effective plasma frequency are analysed. Moreover, the occurence of large gaps in dielectric plasma photonic crystal is demonstrated by comparing the skin depth with the lattice constant, and the influence of plasma frequency on the first three gaps is also studied. Finally, by using the particle-in-cell simulation method, a transmission curve in the \Gamma -X direction is obtained in dielectric plasma photonic crystal, which is in accordance with the dispersion curves calculated by the modified plane wave method, and the large gap between the transmission points of 27~GHz and 47~GHz is explained by comparing the electric field patterns in particle-in-cell simulation.

Effective dielectric constant of two-dimensional photonic crystals in optical bands

By using the Fourier expansion method, we have developed an approach to calculate the effective dielectric index of a two-dimensional photonic crystal. The approach is very general: it can take into account various Bravais lattice structure as well as arbitrary spatial variation of the dielectric index. It has been found that near a nondegenerate frequency ω_n(Γ) at Γ point, the transverse magnetic (TM) mode is ordinary, as it is independent of the propagation direction, whereas in general the transverse electric (TE) mode depends on the propagation direction, it is extraordinary. Therefore, a two-dimensional photonic crystal can always be described by an effective dielectric index for TM mode near the nondegenerate frequency ω_n(Γ). However, the TE mode is much more complicated unless the lattice structure is highly symmetric. Moreover, a two-dimensional square photonic crystal has been identified as an effective birefringent crystal having two negative refractive indexes from the perspective of Snell's law.

Epstein-layer and dielectric-slab electromagnetic models of semiconductor injection lasers

This paper is devoted to a comparison of two electromagnetic models of junction lasers — the dielectric slab and the Epstein layer. The main emphasis is on the discussion of possible methods of matching the parameters appearing in both models. The threshold condition for active layer thickness and mode frequency at a given gain and mode number is solved numerically. It is shown that the discrepancies between both models become reasonably small when a proper method, involving averaging of the dielectric constant over the active and passive regions, is applied. The cases of the three lowest order TE transverse modes of homojunction, single-, and double-heterojunction lasers are considered. The obtained results suggest that the Epstein-layer model can approximate experimental data as well as the dielectricslab model does.     

Multimode network analysis for dielectric leaky-wave antennas consisting of multilayer periodic structure with arbitrary dielectric distributions

The multimode network method is used to analyze the radiation characteristics of the leaky-wave antenna consisting of multilayer dielectric periodic structure with arbitrary dielectric distributions in each layer. The eigenfunction of each periodic layer is determined by Floquet theorem; and the mode matching combining with generalized transverse resonant method are used to derive the dispersion equation of the leaky-wave antenna. The complex transmission constant is calculated by Newton iterative method and the radiation characteristics of the antenna are obtained. Some antenna structures are analyzed and useful guidelines for design of the leaky-wave antennas are suggested.     

Transmission Characteristics of Curved Dielectric Waveguides with Arbitrarily Transverse Profiles

The transmission characteristics of curved dielectric waveguide are analyzed with a method, which combines the staircase approximation with the edge element analysis and mode matching procedure. In each stair the uniform waveguide is treated with edge element method. Then the transmission property of the whole curved guiding structure is calculated with multimode network methods. The effectiveness of the present method is justified by the results given in the literature. It is believed that this approach can be applied to a variety of curved dielectric waveguides with arbitrary transverse profiles.

Analysis of Radiation Phenomena in a Wedge Ended Dielectric Slab Waveguide

Radiation phenomena observed in a wedge shape ended dielectric slab waveguide are analyzed using mode matching technique. The case of transverse electric polarization (TE) being parallel to dielectric slab waveguide is assumed. In order to describe the fields in the wedge region, a stack of dielectric plates is assumed and in each layer the fields are expanded in terms of the mixed spectrum of guided and radiated modes. A similar expansion is used in the constant thickness slab waveguide while in free space medium a continuous-radiation mode expansion is used. Then a mode matching approach is applied, incorporating the orthogonality properties of mixed spectrum modes, in order to compute the wave fields inside the dielectric slab waveguide and wedge medium. Mode matching is achieved by discretizing the continuous radiation mode spectrum leading into a numerically stable solution provided a sufficient large number of points are used to convert integrals into finite summations. Numerical computations are carried out for various wedge geometries and shapes including linear and exponential profiles.     

Improvement of optical trapping effect by using the focused high-order Laguerre-Gaussian beams

We investigate the optical trapping effect of high-order Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beams acting on a dielectric sphere in Rayleigh regime. For LG beams with the azimuthal mode index l=0, it is found that under the same input power, the transverse trapping effect can be enhanced several times with increasing the radial mode index p, compared with that of the Gaussian beam; while its axial trapping effect is exactly the same as that of Gaussian beam, although the central trapping region reduces as p increases. For LG beams with l≥1, we find that the maximal transverse gradient forces increase with the increasing of p and the axial radiation forces reduces slightly, therefore an optimal choose on p and l is necessary for obtaining an optimal optical guiding. Our result is useful for analyzing the trapping efficiency of LG beams applied in micromanipulation technologies.     

Ab initio lattice dynamics and thermodynamic properties of SrO under pressure

We present an ab initio calculation of lattice dynamics and thermodynamic properties of SrO in the NaCl (B1) and CsCl (B2) structured phases under pressure. We employ the density-functional perturbation theory (DFPT) within the local density approximation (LDA) in conjunction with the quasi-harmonic approximation. At zero pressure, the calculated dispersions agree well with the measured ones for the B1 phase. A pressure-induced soft transverse acoustic (TA) phonon mode is identified at the zone boundary X point of the Brillouin zone. The B2 phase is stable at high pressure. Our analysis suggest that this soft transverse mode is responsible for the pressure induced structural phase transition. The increase of the electronic dielectric function with pressure is attributed to the closure of the p–d gaps. The thermal expansion coefficient decreases with pressure and does not show any negative behavior. The predicted transition pressure decreases with temperature.     

Dielectric properties of microcomposite ferroelectrics

The dielectric response in two-phase composites of ferroelectric and dielectric materials was studied within the quasistatic approximation. Using different effective medium theories (Maxwell-Garnet theory, the effective medium approximation and the Bergman representation) the dielectric function was represented as a distribution of polar modes. One of the main results concerns the existence of modes due to geometric resonances which among other effects can lead to new low-frequency absorption peaks near the percolation threshold of the ferroelectric material. These peaks appear always higher than the transverse polar mode frequencies of the bulk components but below their corresponding longitudinal mode frequencies. The soft mode with renormalized mode strength but unchanged frequency exists only in the composite with percolated ferroelectric clusters. When the ferroelectric clusters are only finite the soft mode does not soften completely.

Dielectric response in ferroelectric BaTiO3

The far-infrared optical and dielectric properties of ferroelectric perovskite titanate powder BaTiO₃ are reported. The terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) measurement reveals that the low frequency dielectric response of BaTiO₃ is closely related to the lowest pair of transverse optical (TO) and longitudinal optical (LO) modes near at 180 cm⁻¹, which is verified by Raman spectroscopy. This result provides a better understanding of the relation of low-frequency dielectric function with the optical phonon mode for ferroelectric materials. Combining terahertz TDS with Raman spectra, the overall low frequency optical phonon response of BaTiO₃ is presented in an extended spectral range from 6.7 to 1200 cm⁻¹.     

The effect of longitudinal-transverse coupling and medium temperature on Cerenkov radiation

The effect of medium properties on the energy loss suffered by a relativistic charged particle in a dielectric medium generating Cerenkov radiation is discussed. Here we have taken into account the effect of the coupling of the longitudinal (σ) mode with the transverse (λ) mode in the electromagnetic interaction. Calculation shows that the inclusion of λ-σ coupling in the transverse interaction affects significantly the radiation output. However the modification of the radiation due to the thermal state of the system becomes important at very high temperatures such as one finds in astrophysical situations. This temperature effect is negligible at ordinary temperatures and thus is undetectable in laboratory experiments.
