Wave Localization of Doubly Periodic Guided-mode Resonant Grating Filters

It is known that a doubly periodic guided-mode resonant grating (GMRG) filter has a broad angular selectivity with a narrow spectral bandwidth. This means that the doubly periodic GMRG filter operates for small beam diameter and grating area. This report describes the wave localization in the doubly periodic GMRG filter. We investigated the spread area of light waves in the waveguide layer and the accumulation of field energy by numerical simulation using the finite differential time domain (FDTD) method. Simulation results showed that, in the case of a doubly periodic GMRG filter with a Q factor of 600, the field energy is spread over an area 5 um in width, which corresponds to the expected value from the angular tolerance. And the magnitude of the field energy in the waveguide layer was Q factor times greater than the incident energy. On the other hand, a singly periodic GMRG filter with the same Q factor spread the field energy over an area 72 urn in width. This filter does not work for a small size structure or a small diameter light beam.

Modelling issues for waveguide photonic crystals and photonic microstructures: A personal view

This paper is primarily an attempt to highlight areas of photonic crystal and microstructure research where there is a need for computer-based modelling. No attempt is made to assess the relative merits of different computational methods. Instead, attention is focussed mainly on engineering issues that, in the author’s view, are likely to be important in predicting and analysing the properties of complex device structures built up from photonic crystal building blocks.     

Quasi phase matching in two-dimensional nonlinear photonic crystals

We analyze quasi-phase-matched (QPM) conversion efficiency of the five possible types of periodic two-dimensional nonlinear structures: Hexagonal, square, rectangular, centered-rectangular, and oblique. The frequency conversion efficiency, as a function of the two-dimensional quasi-phase-matching order, is determined for the general case. Furthermore, it is demonstrated for two basic feasible motifs, a circular motif and a rectangular motif. This enables to determine the optimal motif dimensions for achieving the highest conversion efficiency. We find that a rectangular motif is more efficient than a circular motif for quasi-phase-matched processes that rely on a single reciprocal lattice vector (RLV), and that under optimal choice of motif dimensions, it converges into a one-dimensional periodic structure. In addition, in a few specific cases we found that higher order QPM can be significantly more efficient than lower order QPM.

Cascaded Second Harmonic Generation for Deep-UV Radiations with a 2D Nonlinear Photonic Quartz Crystal

Harmonic generation can broaden the laser wavelength in a great scope and is rich in physics, but the efficient cascaded second harmonic generation especially those directly deep into deep-ultraviolet (DUV) with one single crystal seems to be impossible, due to the extremely strict phase-matching conditions and relative narrow bandgap of present nonlinear optical crystals. Here, this work designs a nonlinear photonic quartz crystal where the phase difference of interacted light waves is manipulated in two dimensions and realizes an unprecedented cascaded phase-matched 2nd–5th harmonic generation simultaneously with the photon energy up to 6 eV, representing the shortest wavelength by cascaded second harmonic generation in the solid-state nonlinear medium. The generated light is located in the visible-DUV region with a total conversion efficiency of 2.7%. The present nonlinear photonic quartz scheme not only provides a multi-wavelength solid-state laser source applied in modern devices but also develops a new route for studying the light-matter nonlinear interaction in the DUV region.     

Nearly Perfect Spin Conversion Based on Topological Singularity in 1D Anisotropic Photonic Crystals

Although the spin-controlled vortex generation and photonic spin-Hall effect of spin-flipped abnormal mode have been widely studied recently, the traditional method based on the metasurface is difficult to fabricate, and the efficiency of the spin-flipped abnormal mode is rather low due to process errors and intrinsic material loss. Here, a new method is proposed based on the insights into the topological singularity and special Bragger reflections resonant (BRR) mode of one-dimensional (1D) finite photonic crystals (PhCs) with anisotropic material to realize nearly perfect (100%) spin-conversion efficiency. For a finite 1D PhC with cell number N, there are 3N complete spin-conversion (CSC) and complete spin-maintained (CSM) channels. Two mechanisms of these CSC and CSM channels are revealed. The working bandwidths and the angular ranges of these CSC and CSM are also studied. Based on these theoretical findings, multi-angles and multi-frequencies perfect spin-conversion (-maintained) devices can be designed. At last, these theoretical results are confirmed by the numerical experiments based on finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) methods. This work paves the way to exploring the topological properties and polarization control of PhCs made of anisotropic dielectrics and provides a prospective method for the design of multi-channels spin optical devices.     

Induced Diffraction in Phase-Mismatched Second-Harmonic Generation

We show analytically that in phase-mismatched second-harmonic generation, an effective diffraction is induced at the second-harmonic （SH） frequency. Numerical simulation results agree with the analytical predictions. Compared to the case of linear propagation, the effect of the overall diffraction at the SH frequency becomes doubled due to the induced diffraction, which causes an interesting result that the SH beam width will be larger than that of the fundamental field.

用紧束缚方法描述光子晶体缺陷耦合的共振频率移动

通常采用含两个耦合参数的紧束缚近似，就能很好地描述光子晶体缺陷因耦合而导致的共振频率分裂.然而，缺陷耦合造成的共振频率移动，即包含奇数个缺陷的耦合系统的中央共振频率位置与原来单缺陷时的共振频率位置存在差异，则只有采用含三个耦合参数的严格紧束缚方法才能正确描述.根据耦合参数与共振频率的关系，利用三缺陷耦合系统的模拟计算结果确定了三个耦合参数的具体值，从而在理论上能够预言由任意个缺陷构成的耦合系统的共振频率的移动和分裂.理论预言与基于有限时域差分法的数值计算完全相符.

Stimulated globular scattering of laser radiation in photonic crystals: Temperature dependences

The characteristics of stimulated globular scattering such as the frequency shift, threshold, and conversion efficiency are studied in photonic crystals (synthetic opal matrices and opal nanocomposites) at different temperatures. The results are compared with the study of stimulated Raman scattering in calcite single crystals. In both cases, a decrease in temperature from +20° C to −196° C resulted in an increase in the energy of stimulated scattering energy and its redistribution into the higher-order components.     

Dielectric Chiral Metasurfaces for Second-Harmonic Generation with Strong Circular Dichroism

Dielectric chiral metasurfaces can generate harmonic waves with high efficiency and strong circular dichroism (CD), when they are supported by metallic substrates. Numerical results show that the second-harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of about 10⁻³% for a peak pump intensity of about 5 GW cm⁻² can be achieved in the blue-UV, and the SHG CD reaches up to about 1.8, from a metasurface of Z-shaped lithium niobate nanoantenna array supported by gold substrate. Highly efficient and strong circular dichroic nonlinear responses are attributed to the plasmon-assisted local field enhancement in the dielectric chiral nanoantennae adjacent to the metallic substrate.
