一维光子晶体带隙结构对不同偏振态的角度和波长响应

用传输矩阵法计算了一维光子晶体带隙结构对不同偏振态入射光的角度和波长响应. 结果表明，对P偏振态，带隙的宽度明显小于S偏振态. 对于角度响应，两种偏振态有相同的变化趋势，但变化量不同. 而对于波长响应，两种偏振态表现出不同的变化趋势. 引入了“广义布儒斯特角”的概念. 理论分析表明，当光以此角射入光子晶体时，S偏振态入射光的禁带完全保留，而P偏振态入射光的禁带完全消失，从而可以在S偏振态入射光的禁带背景中用P偏振态入射光获得受主掺杂模式. 同时还给出了实验验证结果. 关键词： 体积全息图 光子晶体 偏振

被动调Q双波长Yb:YAG板条激光的偏振控制

采用激光二极管(LD)来泵浦Yb:YAG板条晶体被动调Q双波长激光器，开展可控激光输出偏振态的实验研究。实验搭建紧凑的V型谐振腔，通过调节输出镜(OC)的倾角可以实现激光输出从0°水平线偏振到90°垂直线偏振的切换。通过实验设计可以得出最终的输出偏振态取决于腔内的附加相位差，当腔内附加相位差为π时，输出偏振由水平偏振向垂直偏振切换。实验结果表明：当OC倾角的变化量约为3.6 mrad时，线偏振态从水平偏振切换至垂直偏振，水平线偏振的消光比最优为28.98 dB,垂直线偏振的消光比最优为25.96 dB;在泵浦功率为18.42 W时，获得了1.66 W的平衡双波长激光输出，对应的脉冲宽度为42.6 ns。     

任意线偏振高斯光束的非傍轴传输

运用非傍轴光束传输的矢量矩理论，对任意线偏振高斯光束的非傍轴传输进行了系统的研究，给出了定量计算偏振对束腰、横向远场发散角和光束传输因子贡献的解析通式. 并对高度非傍轴和傍轴两种极端情形，简化了相应的计算式. 在高斯光源线度趋向于零的极限情形下，两个横向的最大发散角均为90°，与偏振态无关. 在高度非傍轴情形下，可以通过所给出的解析通式设计高斯光源的半宽度与激射光波长之比值以及线偏振态来达到所期望的光束传输特性. 对于傍轴情形，不同偏振对束腰和横向远场发散角稍有影响，但这种影响一般可以忽略不计；而光束传输因子却始终保持不变，与偏振态无关. 若介于这两种极端情形之间，则可以根据高斯光源的半宽度之值和所期望的计算精度，确定解析式中级数的项数进而确定任意线偏振高斯光束的非傍轴传输特性. 关键词： 高斯光束 非傍轴传输 偏振 二阶矩

Resonant waveguide grating: Analysis of polarization independent filtering

We investigate the property of polarization independent reflection using a 1D grating. It is shown to be possible, by choosing the correct parameters of the structure and angle of incidence to adjust the bandwidth of the reflection curves for both polarizations in such a way that these coincide. We expect that the found polarization-independent narrow band filter can be used as a component for WDM applications.     

Near-infrared polarization study of L1641S

H-band polarimetric images and KS-band images of star formation region L1641S are presented. Two reflection nebulae, Re50N and Re50, are in the north and south of the region, respectively. The polarization maps of two nebulae exhibit high degrees of polarization and centrosymmetric patterns, indicating the single scattering and small dust grains in the nebulae. There are two infrared sources, IRS1 and IRS2, in the nebula Re50N. IRS1 is the illuminating source of the nebulae and the driving source of CO outflow; IRS2 is suggested to provide considerable light at optical wavelengths. The high polarization in Re50N can be interpreted as surface scattering from the outflow at an inclination of 30 degrees. Based on the polarization arc structure, we further identified the bipolar structure of the nebula Re50N. The FU Orionis phenomenon in L1641S is discussed at the end of this paper.     

Magneto-optical activity of a one-dimensional photonic crystal with a magnetic defect

The influence of a magnetic defect on the field distribution and magneto-optical properties of a one-dimensional photonic crystal has been investigated. It has been shown that the maximum localization of the wave field in the defect layer is achieved in an asymmetric photonic crystal structure. A greater Faraday rotation, which significantly exceeds the angle of rotation of the polarization plane in an isolated magnetized layer, and a higher degree of localization of the wave field can be achieved when the magnetic layer is surrounded by layers of photonic crystal mirrors with a lower refractive index. An increase in the Faraday rotation angle is determined not only by an increase in the thickness of the magnetic defect but also by a symmetric increase in the number of periods in the photonic crystal mirrors.     

Propagation of light in a structure with a regular magnetic inhomogeneity

The reflection and transmission of a light wave normally incident on a layer with a regular magnetic inhomogeneity described by a harmonic function are investigated. Solutions to the Maxwell equations for such a medium and the Jones matrices determining the magneto-optical characteristics of the structure under consideration (the coefficients of transmission and reflection and the degrees of polarization of transmitted and reflected waves) are obtained.     

Polarization independent birefringent Fabry-Perot etalon having polarization conversion mirrors

Polarization independent operation of birefringent Fabry-Perot etalon is proposed using polarization conversion mirrors (PCMs) as the cavity mirrors. PCMs, such as Faraday mirrors, rotate the polarization plane by 90° upon reflection thus allowing the same phase accumulation for the two eigenwaves after a roundtrip inside the cavity. Based on that when the cavity is filled with an electrooptic material such as a liquid crystal, polarization independent tunable filtering is obtained.     

表层厚度渐变一维耦合腔光子晶体的反射相位特性及其应用

利用传输矩阵法研究了表层厚度渐变的一维非对称耦合腔光子晶体的反射相位特性. 研究表明, 光子禁带内(包括缺陷模附近)的反射率在98%以上, 且基本不受表层厚度影响, 特别是, 在非正入射情况下, 简并的缺陷模随着表层厚度的变化会发生分裂; 进一步研究发现, 在缺陷模分裂处附近, TE, TM偏振的反射相位以及它们之间的相位差均敏感地依赖于表层厚度的变化, 从而使得反射光的偏振态也随表层厚度的变化而敏感变化, 其物理机理在于缺陷模分裂所造成的剧烈相位变化. 基于上述特性, 设计了一种表层厚度呈二维周期变化的一维光子晶体结构, 从该结构反射的激光经透镜聚焦后, 在聚焦区域同时存在各种偏振态(包括沿不同方向的线偏振、左旋或右旋圆偏振、椭圆偏振等)的子光束, 它们叠加后在聚焦区域将产生具有无规相位和无规偏振态的光场. 以上结果能有效降低激光的相干性, 在激光核聚变等领域有潜在的应用价值.     

低散射非偏振依赖的聚合物/液晶光栅

了降低聚合物/液晶光栅的散射损失,并消除光栅的偏振依赖性,选取了低官能度的光敏单体作为反应体系,并逐步提高光栅的制备温度。首先选用五官能度的DPHPA （dipentaerythritol hydroxyl pentaacrylate）、双官能度的PDDA（ phthalic diglycol diacrylate）以及单官能度的NVP （N-vinylpyrrolidone）作为反应体系;其次,在制备过程中在光栅的后面放置加热台,逐步提升制备温度。实验结果表明:当制备温度上升到62 ℃以上,光栅有更多（36%）的液晶析出,相分离比常温下制备时要更完全一些,而且高温下制备的光栅其平整度更高,从而使光栅的散射损失比常温下减小了66.7%,器件的SEM图片也进一步证明了这个结论。同时高温制备也消除了液晶光栅的偏振依赖特性。

High-power electro-optic switch technology based on novel transparent ceramic

A novel high-power polarization-independent electro-optic switch technology based on a reciprocal structure Sagnac interferometer and a transparent quadratic electro-optic ceramic is proposed and analyzed theoretically and experimentally.The electro-optic ceramic is used as a phase retarder for the clockwise and counter-clockwise polarized light, and their polarization directions are adjusted to their orthogonal positions by using two half-wave plates. The output light then becomes polarization-independent with respect to the polarization direction of the input light. The switch characteristics, including splitter ratios and polarization states, are theoretically analyzed and simulated in detail by the matrix multiplication method.An experimental setup is built to verify the analysis and experimental results. A new component ceramic is used and a nonpolarizing cube beam splitter(NPBS) replaces the beam splitter(BS) to lower the ON/OFF voltage to 305 V and improve the extinction ratio by 2 d B. Finally, the laser-induced damage threshold for the proposed switch is measured and discussed.It is believed that potential applications of this novel polarization-independent electro-optic switch technology will be wide,especially for ultrafast high-power laser systems.
