通过利用阳极氧化铝的方法制备高度有序的光子晶体结构作为纳米压印模板,将大面积光子晶体图案转移到了样品表面,解决了国际上小尺寸光子晶体制备困难的问题。采用纳米压印的方法在AlGaN基样品表面上制备了290 nm的周期光子晶体结构,并将表面具有光子晶体结构的AlGaN基样品正面出光强度提高121%。偏振特性的实验结果表明六角排列的孔状光子晶体将原来朝向样品侧面传播的TE偏振光偏折转向正面,从而增加光抽取效率,改变出光偏振度。指出远场角分辨图案的变化归因于光子晶体对出光的衍射和Bragg散射效果。实验中采用的创新性工艺可以用来制备具有高出光效率的深紫外发光二极管。     

New Configuration of Ring Resonator in Photonic Crystal Based on Self-Collimation

We propose a novel ring resonator configuration in a channelless photonic crystal. The proposed ring resonator utilizes the self-collimation effect and the bending and splitting mechanisms of line defects to route the propagation of light, instead of conventional indexed-guided waveguides or photonic crystal band gap waveguides. The finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD) is used to investigate the characteristics of the ring resonator. The new design exhibits an ON--OFF contrast with an extinction ratio of more than 12dB, and has an ultra-compact footprint of 3.3×3.3μm² when it operates at the optical communication wavelength λ=1.55μm. The design presented may find applications in the areas including ultra-compact optical switch and wavelength filer in integrated optical circuits.     

含Kerr非线性的一维光子晶体中的类孤子

研究了含Kerr非线性的一维光子晶体中的类孤子。计算了光子晶体中加入Kerr非线性材料后,类孤子和入射光强、Kerr系数以及线性势阱的关系。随着线性势阱的降低,对应于在线性带隙中开始出现类孤子本征模所需要的最小入射强度也降低,即降低了非线性阈值;尽管非线性是产生类孤子的根本原因,但非线性系数对产生类孤子及孤子环中环的影响不如线性势阱高度的影响显著。

Optics of Photonic Crystals

In this article, a general theoretical framework to describe and analyze the optical properties of photonic crystals is presented. In addition to the analytical treatment of their optical response based on the method of Green’s function, numerical tools to calculate the dispersion relations and the eigenfunctions of the radiation field, transmission spectra, localized midgap modes, and lasing threshold are introduced and applied to some typical examples. Group theory to analyze the symmetry of the eigenmodes is also introduced, and the existence of uncoupled modes that cannot be excited by external plane waves is shown. The presence of the enhancement effect of nonlinear optical processes and stimulated emission due to the small group velocity which is easily realized in the photonic crystals is pointed out, and the possibility of low-threshold lasing in the photonic crystals is discussed.

Raman Scattering in Three-Dimensional Photonic Crystals

The optical properties of three-dimensional photonic crystals associated with the form of reflection spectra from their surface (appearance of a forbidden gap in the energy spectrum) and with the specific features of Raman scattering are analyzed. Idealized models of the energy band structure of photonic crystals are studied. Expressions for the group velocity of photons with energy close to the forbidden gap are derived. Experimental results on the Raman scattering in photonic crystals based on artificial opal as well as in fused silica are discussed. Bands due to quantum-size effects (presence of nanoclusters in fused silica and nanoglobules forming the lattice of globular photonic crystals) were manifested in the spectra of inelastic light scattering. It is proposed to use photonic crystals for the creation of sensitive sensors of organic and inorganic substances using modern Raman techniques.

分析了光子晶体实现光学频率变化的方法。阐述了光子晶体光学频率变换的原理,用软件仿真了冲击波作用光子晶体的折射率变化和带隙变化,分析了冲击波速度和冲击波作用光子晶体时间的长短对光学频率变化的影响,结论表明,冲击波速度越大光学频率的变化量越大,冲击波作用光子晶体的时间越长光学频率的变化量越大。由于利用光子晶体的禁带特性,能够对落入光子晶体禁带中的光波实现全反射,故频率转换效率很高。此种方法在近几年发展起来的可调谐激光器有重要的应用,也是光子晶体一个新的研究领域。

Effective Light Dynamics in Perturbed Photonic Crystals

In this work, we rigorously derive effective dynamics for light from within a limited frequency range propagating in a photonic crystal that is modulated on the macroscopic level; the perturbation parameter \({\lambda \ll 1}\) quantifies the separation of spatial scales.We do that by rewriting the dynamical Maxwell equations as a Schrödinger-type equation and adapting space-adiabatic perturbation theory. Just like in the case of the Bloch electron, we obtain a simpler, effective Maxwell operator for states from within a relevant almost invariant subspace. A correct physical interpretation for the effective dynamics requires establishing two additional facts about the almost invariant subspace: (1) The source-free condition has to be verified and (2) it has to support real states. The second point also forces one to consider a multiband problem even in the simplest possible setting; This turns out to be a major difficulty for the extension of semiclassical methods to the domain of photonic crystals.     

Spatially Inhomogeneous Gain Modification in Photonic Crystals

The electric and magnetic energy distributions in photonic crystals （PC） are calculated by using the plane wave expansion （PWE） method. Even though the total electric and magnetic energy in each unit cell of photonic crystals are equal to each other, the ratio of electric and magnetic energy densities varies depending on the local position. Based on Fermi＇s golden rule, the optical gain is analysed in the full quantum framework that takes the nonuniform energy density ratio into account. This nonuniform energy density ratio in photonic crystals, defined in an equal form as gain modification factor, leads to spatially inhomogeneous modification of optical gain. Results reported in the paper provide a new perspective for analysing gain characteristics, as well as the lasing properties, in photonic crystals.
