Negative Refraction in One-Dimensional Photonic Crystals with Tilted Interface

We investigate the wave propagation through the tilted interface of one-dimensional photonic crystals. Negative refraction can be realized by excitation of the Bloch states in the extended Brillouin zone with suppressed reflection. Equi-frequency surface analysis shows that the positive refraction, negative refraction or birefringence in this configuration can be achieved under a proper incident angle, which is confirmed by finite-difference timedomain simulations. The results may be useful in applications in the new devices based on one-dimensional photonic or optical waveguide arrays.

Transmission Properties of One-Dimensional Photonic Crystals Containing Anisotropic Metamaterials

The transmission properties of one-dimensional photonie crystals （1DPCs） containing anisotropic metamaterials are theoretically studied. It is shown that the 1DPCs can possess a similar zero average index （zero-n） gaps, the edges of zero-~ gap are weakly dependent on the incident angles, scale length and the polarization of the electromagnetic wave. When an impurity is introduced, a defect mode appears inside the zeron gap with a very weak dependence on incident angles and sealing. It is found that in such photonic crystals, a transmitted Gaussian pulse with its carrier frequency lying in the lower gap edge, in the defect mode and in the bandgap, can experience a positive or negative group delay and hence a subluminal, ultra.slow or superluminal propagation with small distortions. These properties of the photonic crystals have potential applications in the transfer of information.     

Analysis of Three Coupled Defects in One-Dimensional Photonic Bandgap Structure

The mutual interaction of three different defects in photonic crystals is studied theoretically. A theoretical model based on the classical wave analogue of the tight-binding （TB） picture is applied to the structure.

Based on this, a new type of the photonic quantum-well structure is investigated and its possible application is discussed. The TB predictions are compared with the transfer matrix method simulation results.

Electronic-Excitation Energy Transfer between Dye Molecules Adsorbed in One-Dimensional Photonic Crystals

Electronic-excitation energy transfer between molecules of Coumarin 7 (donor) and Rhodamine B (acceptor) have been experimentally investigated in one-dimensional photonic crystals based on oxidized mesoporous silicon and in a similar matrix, which does not possess the properties of a photonic crystal. The efficiencies of excitation transfer between donor and acceptor molecules have been determined based on the donor-fluorescence quenching and sensitized acceptor luminescence. It is established that the efficiency of electronic-excitation energy transfer in a photonic crystal increases in comparison with that for porous silicon.

We study theoretically the nonlinear responses of one-dimensional photonic crystals （PCs） composed of alternating two kinds of single-negative （permittivity-negative and permeability-negative） materials embedded with a Kerrtype nonlinear defect layer. In conventional PCs, it is difficult to realize a bistable switching with both low threshold and quick response time. However, in PCs with single-negative materials, by changing the ratio of the thicknesses of the two types of layers, with the decreasing size of the structure, the switching response time is shortened and the threshold intensity decreases simultaneously.     

多个单负材料缺陷一维光子晶体的孪生缺陷模

分析了含有多个单负材料缺陷层的一维光子晶体中缺陷模的性质。在两种单负(负介电常量或负磁导率)材料交替堆叠形成的一维光子晶体中,掺入了多个周期排列的单负材料缺陷层,得到在该光子晶体的零有效相位(zero-effective phase)带隙内存在孪生缺陷模。通过改变缺陷的数目或缺陷层的厚度,可调节缺陷模的频率间隔,但缺陷模的数目总保持为两个。计算结果显示,该孪生缺陷模的频率对入射角度的依赖较弱;随着入射角度的改变,缺陷模频率的相对改变量总保持在0.03以下。此外,对应缺陷模频率的电场在该光子晶体中传播时,将被强烈地局域在缺陷层与周期结构的交界面上。     

双缺陷模一维光子晶体的双光子吸收增强研究

采用真空镀膜工艺制备了具有762 nm和800 nm双缺陷模的含两个CdS缺陷层的TiO2/SiO2一维光子晶体,运用抽运探测技术测量了其双光子吸收。对于两个缺陷模,双光子吸收均得到很大的增强,其中缺陷模为800nm时的双光子吸收系数307 cm/GW要大于缺陷模为762 nm时的116 cm/GW,分别为单层CdS薄膜的48倍和18倍。这种双光子吸收的增强是由于光局域化导致一维光子晶体缺陷层内的电场强度增大而形成的。通过传输矩阵法计算了一维光子晶体的内部场强,发现800 nm波长光入射时缺陷层内的电场强度要大于762 nm波长光入射时的电场强度值。
