On the sound fields of infinitely long strips

Exact solutions are derived for sound radiation from four kinds of infinitely-long strips: namely a rigid strip in a baffle of finite width, a resilient strip in free space, and a resilient or rigid strip in an infinite baffle. In one limit, the strip in a finite baffle becomes a rigid strip in free space and in the other, a line source in a finite baffle. Here "rigid" means that the surface velocity is uniform, whereas "resilient" means that the surface pressure is uniform, and the strip is assumed to have zero mass or stiffness, as if a force were driving the acoustic medium directly. According to the Babinet-Bouwkamp principle, radiation from a resilient strip in an infinite baffle is equivalent to diffraction of a plane wave through a slit in the same. Plots are shown for the radiation impedances, far-field directivity patterns, and on-axis pressure responses of the four kinds of strip. A simple relationship between the radiation admittance of the rigid strip in an infinite baffle and the resilient strip in free space is presented. The two-dimensional rectangular wave functions developed in this paper can be applied to related problems.

Characteristics of surface sound pressure and absorption of a finite impedance strip for a grazing incident plane wave

Distributions of sound pressure and intensity on the surface of a flat impedance strip flush-mounted on a rigid baffle are studied for a grazing incident plane wave. The distributions are obtained by superimposing the unperturbed wave (the specularly reflected wave as if the strip is rigid plus the incident wave) with the radiated wave from the surface vibration of the strip excited by the unperturbed pressure. The radiated pressure interferes with the unperturbed pressure and distorts the propagating plane wave. When the plane wave propagates in the baffle-strip-baffle direction, it encounters discontinuities in acoustical impedance at the baffle-strip and strip-baffle interfaces. The radiated pressure is highest around the baffle-strip interface, but decreases toward the strip-baffle interface where the plane wave distortion reduces accordingly. As the unperturbed and radiated waves have different magnitudes and superimpose out of phase, the surface pressure and intensity increase across the strip in the plane wave propagation direction. Therefore, the surface absorption of the strip is nonzero and nonuniform. This paper provides an understanding of the surface pressure and intensity behaviors of a finite impedance strip for a grazing incident plane wave, and of how the distributed intensity determines the sound absorption coefficient of the strip.     

Directional properties of an array of sound receivers positioned in an impedance screen recess

Expressions for calculating the directional characteristics of an array of sound receivers positioned in a waveguide with impedance walls are obtained from the solution to the problem on the diffraction of a plane sound wave by the waveguide open end with impedance flanges. The waveguide can be of a finite length, and, in this case, it can be considered as an open cavity in an impedance screen. The solution of the integral equation for the sound pressure distribution over the opening area is reduced to the solution of an infinite system of algebraic equations for the coefficients of the field expansion in normal waveguide waves. Examples of calculated directional characteristics are presented for arrays with receivers positioned at different distances from the opening and for different values of the impedances of the waveguide walls and flanges.

Long range surface plasmon polariton waveguides at 1.31 and 1.55 μm wavelengths

We investigate characteristics of gold metal strip waveguides based on long range surface plasmon polaritons (LRSPPs) along thin metal strips embedded in a polymer for practical applications at the telecommunication wavelengths of 1.31 and 1.55 μm. Guiding properties of the gold strip waveguides are theoretically and experimentally evaluated with the limited thickness and width up to ∼20 nm and ∼10 μm, respectively. The lowest propagation loss of ∼1.4 dB/cm is obtained with a 14.5-nm-thick and 2-μm-wide gold strip at 1.55 μm. With a single-mode fiber, the lowest coupling loss of ∼0.4 dB/facet is achieved with a 14.5-nm-thick and 5-μm-wide gold strip at 1.55 μm. The lowest insertion losses are obtained 8-9 dB with 1.5 cm-long gold strips of a limited thickness and width at both the wavelengths. We demonstrate a 10 Gbps optical signal transmission via the LRSPP waveguide with a 14 nm-thick, 2.5 μm-wide, and 4 cm-long gold strip. These LRSPP waveguides have potential applications for optical interconnects and communications.     

Tapered semiconductor amplifiers for optical frequency combs in the near infrared

A tapered semiconductor amplifier is injection seeded by a femtosecond optical frequency comb at 780 nm from a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser. Energy gains of more than 17 dB(12 dB) are obtained for 1 mW(20 mW) of average input power when the input pulses are stretched into the picosecond range. A spectral window of supercontinuum light generated in a photonic fiber has also been amplified. Interferometric measurements show sub-Hertz linewidths for a heterodyne beat between the input and amplified comb components, yielding no detectable phase-noise degradation under amplification. These amplifiers can be used to boost the infrared power in f-to-2f interferometers used to determine the carrier-to-envelope offset frequency, with clear advantages for stabilization of octave-spanning femtosecond lasers and other supercontinuum light sources.     

Photonic band structure in a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice of equilateral triangles

In this paper, the plane wave expansion method is used to calculate the photonic band structure (PBS) for the transverse electric (TE) polarization in a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice composed air holes with cross-sections in the shape of equilateral triangles embedded in a GaAs background. We consider that the dielectric constant of GaAs is dependent on both hydrostatic pressure and temperature. Further, an increase can be observed in the width of the photonic band gap (PBG) while the lengths of the sides of the equilateral triangles are increased. When the pressure increases in the presence of a constant temperature, the dielectric constant of GaAs decreases; further, the PBS exhibits a more noticeable shift toward regions of higher frequencies than that observed while the temperature is increased at a given pressure. We also observed that the PBG obtained by rotating the triangular holes by an angle θ increases when compared against the results obtained for the lattice of holes without performing any rotation. In addition, the results obtained using the supercell technique denote that the position and width of the PBG remain unchanged while removing a triangular hole from the structure, denoting the presence of a defective band within the PBG.

Observation of surface states in a truncated photonic crystal slab

The effect of lattice termination on the surface states in a two-dimensional truncated photonic crystal slab is experimentally studied in a high-index-contrast silicon-on-insulator system. A single-mode silicon strip waveguide that is separated from the photonic crystal by a trench of variable width is used to evanescently couple to surface states in the surrounding lattice. It is demonstrated that the dispersion of the surface states depends strongly on the specific termination of the lattice.

Finite size effects on the helical edge states on the Lieb lattice

For a two-dimensional Lieb lattice,that is,a line-centered square lattice,the inclusion of the intrinsic spin–orbit(ISO)coupling opens a topologically nontrivial gap,and gives rise to the quantum spin Hall(QSH) effect characterized by two pairs of gapless helical edge states within the bulk gap.Generally,due to the finite size effect in QSH systems,the edge states on the two sides of a strip of finite width can couple together to open a gap in the spectrum.In this paper,we investigate the finite size effect of helical edge states on the Lieb lattice with ISO coupling under three different kinds of boundary conditions,i.e.,the straight,bearded and asymmetry edges.The spectrum and wave function of edge modes are derived analytically for a tight-binding model on the Lieb lattice.For a strip Lieb lattice with two straight edges,the ISO coupling induces the Dirac-like bulk states to localize at the edges to become the helical edge states with the same Dirac-like spectrum.Moreover,it is found that in the case with two straight edges the gapless Dirac-like spectrum remains unchanged with decreasing the width of the strip Lieb lattice,and no gap is opened in the edge band.It is concluded that the finite size effect of QSH states is absent in the case with the straight edges.However,in the other two cases with the bearded and asymmetry edges,the energy gap induced by the finite size effect is still opened with decreasing the width of the strip.It is also proposed that the edge band dispersion can be controlled by applying an on-site potential energy on the outermost atoms.     

Highly directional liquid surface wave source based on resonant cavity

By placing a point source inside a resonant cavity structure, we present a method to realize a highly directional liquid surface wave source. The resonant cavity is surrounded by two slabs of different thickness, with each slab consisting of a finite square array of rigid cylinders standing vertically in the liquid. It is shown that more than 68% of the total energy is emitted out along the normal directions of the cavity within a very narrow angular range. At the resonant frequency, narrow emission pattern with half-power angular width of only several degrees is obtained.     

Relic crystal-lattice effects on Raman compression of powerful x-ray pulses in plasmas

Powerful x-ray pulses might be compressed to even greater powers by means of backward Raman amplification in ultradense plasmas produced by ionizing condensed matter by the same pulses. The pulse durations contemplated are shorter than the time for complete smoothing of the crystal lattice by thermal motion of ions. Although inhomogeneities are generally thought to be deleterious to the Raman amplification, the relic lattice might, in fact, be useful for the Raman amplification. The x-ray frequency band gaps can suppress parasitic Raman scattering of amplified pulses, while enhanced dispersion of the x-ray group velocity near the gaps can delay self-phase-modulation instability, thereby enabling further amplification of the x rays.

Raman effects in a highly nonlinear holey fiber: amplification and modulation

We experimentally demonstrate that a short length of highly nonlinear holey fiber (HF) can be used for strong L(+) -band (1610-1640-nm) Raman amplification and ultrafast signal modulation. We use a pure silica HF with an effective area of just 2.85mum(2) at 1550 nm, which yields an effective nonlinearity ~15 times higher than in conventional silica dispersion-shifted fiber. Using a 75-m length of this fiber, we obtained internal Raman gains of more than 42 dB and a noise figure of ~6 dB under a forward single-pump scheme, and the Raman gain coefficient was experimentally estimated to be 7.6 chi 10(-14)m/W . Also, an 11-dB signal extinction ratio in a Raman-induced all-optical modulation experiment was achieved with the same fiber.     

Numerical and experimental investigation of 2 × 2 multimode interference couplers in silica-on-silicon

In this paper we examine, theoretically as well as experimentally, the influence of a number of design parameters for a 2 × 2 multimode interference (MMI) coupler. We confirm that wide access waveguides are preferable but these should not exceed the width of the MMI. It is shown that the waveguide separation can be chosen in a reasonably wide range and that MMI's can be as short as directional couplers. That the imbalance is less than 0.2 dB if the length is within 5% of the optimum. Experimentally we observe the same variation, but at an imbalance of 0.6 dB. We show that this imbalance can be explained by a stress induced parabolic non-uniformity of the refractive index of the core across the MMI width with a peak variation of 5 × 10^–5.     

Compact triplexer in two-dimensional hexagonal lattice photonic crystals

We design a compact triplexer based on two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal lattice photonic crystals (PCs).A folded directional coupler (FDC) is introduced in the triplexer beside the point-defect micro-cavities and line-defect waveguides.Because of the reflection feedback of the FDC,high channel drop efficiency can be realized and a compact size with the order of micrometers can be maintained.The proposed device is analyzed using the plane wave expansion method,and its transmission characteristics are calculated using the finite-difference time-domain method.The footprint of the triplexer is about 12× 9 μm,and its extinction ratios are less than –20 dB for 1310 nm,approximately –20 dB for 1490 nm,and under –40 dB for 1550 nm,making it a potentially essential device in future fiber-to-the-home networks.

A novel multi-cavity Helmholtz muffler

A novel multi-cavity Helmholtz muffler is proposed. The multi-cavity Helmholtz muffler is composed of steel structures and silicone membranes. With suitable construction, the Helmholtz muffler can be designed to exhibit negative mass density in low frequency, and the muffling frequency can be adjusted when we change the internal structure of the cavity,which will be very attractive for noise control. In this paper, we investigate the influence of the membranes and the cavities on noise reduction characteristics with theoretical calculations and simulations. The results show that the numbers of membranes and the volumes of the cavities can have a great effect on the position of the muffling frequency. The number of cavities can have a great effect on the width of the muffling frequency(reduce the noise by 10 dB). With different combinations of the membranes and cavities, we can get different muffling frequencies, which can meet different muffling demands in practical applications and is more flexible than the traditional Helmholtz cavity.
