基于半导体光放大器的通带与阻带相互切换的全光微波滤波器

为了满足光纤射频链路和相位阵列人线应用要求,提出并实验验证了基于半导体光放大器(SOA)的全光微波滤波器,该结构利用SOA的放大自发辐射的交义增益调制(XGM)原理,可以实现通带和阻带的相互切换.它是基于由SOA和可调谐窄带光学滤波器构成的光纤延时环,利用SOA的放大自发辐射谱的交义增益调制产生负系数.当可调谐窄带光学滤波器的中心波长对准激光器的波长时,可获得一个高Q的带通滤波器频率响应;当可调谐窄带光学滤波器的中心波长偏离激光器波长一定量时,可获得陷波宽度较窄和通带相对较平的陷波滤波器频率响应.此结构通过调节可调谐窄带滤波器的中心波长可实现高Q与通带相对较平的陷波频率响应的切换.     

A Method of Analyzing Transmission Losses in Left-Handed Metamaterials

A method of analyzing transmission loss in left-handed metamaterials （LHMs） is proposed. As a demonstration of this method, transmission loss of LHMs composed of split-ring resonators （SRR） and conducting wires is studied. By means of retrieving and analyzing the effective constitutive parameters, different transmission losses as well as their origins are studied. The results show that the left-handed bandwidth is narrowed because of high loss caused by the non-zero high imaginary parts of the effective permeability and permittivity. In the effective left-handed band, the radiation loss is very low and can be neglected, and the transmission losses are the sum of the substrate loss and the ohmic loss. Moreover, when the dielectric loss tangent of the substrate is greater than 0.003, the substrate loss is higher than the ohmic loss.     

Numerical Study of Low-Loss Cross Left-Handed Metamaterials at Visible Frequency

We present a numerical study of left-handed metamaterials （LHMs） composed of double cross pairs at visible frequency. The S-parameter retrieval method is adopted to confirm the negative refractive characteristic of this design. Compared with fishnet LHMs~ the proposed cross LHMs have a much lower loss, which will greatly facilitate practical applications. It is also found that, with the same size of resonant cells, the cross LHMs have a higher frequency than fishnet LHMs, which is explained using a simple effective LC circuit model.     

Tunable Effect of Double-Connective Dendritic Left-Handed Metamaterials Based on Electrorheological Fluids

We present double-connective dendritic unit pairs which exhibit the left-handed property for electromagnetic wave normal incidence. Based on the tunable characteristics of electrorheological fluids （ERF） as the electric field, we experimentally study the influence of the distance of electrodes, the number of stacked layers, and the intensity of the external electric field upon the ERF to the left-handed transmission peak of the double-connective dendritic structure. The results show that the transmission could be enhanced with the increase of distance or the number of layers. Furthermore, by changing the intensity of the electric fields, the left-handed transmission peak can be modulated actively, and the maximum shift is up to 160 MHz.     

Experimental Verification of Left-Handed Metamaterials Composed of Coplanar Electric and Magnetic Resonators

We verified experimentally left-handed metamaterials （LHM） composed of coplanar electric and magnetic resonators. A typical LHM sample composed of coplanar resonator unit cells was fabricated, investigated and tested. The experimental results show that the tested sample has a left-handed band of width 1.4 GHz in the X band. The experimental results agree quite well with the simulation ones. Moreover, both the simulation and experimental results show that the LHM under study can automatically achieve good impedance-matching in the left-handed band.

双曲色散型单轴左手介质中的折射

研究了横磁波在各向同性右手介质和双曲色散型单轴左手介质界面处波矢和能流的折射。计算发现,当入射角在很大范围内变化时,波矢的折射角和能流的折射角几乎不变。调节光轴角可使波矢折射角和能流折射角随入射角变化不敏感的现象更明显,经分析计算给出光轴角的调节范围。这一现象是由双曲色散型单轴左手介质的各向异性及负的主折射率引起的,可以用来实现光束准直、光束整合、光束压缩以及方便的光束耦合。如果光从双曲色散型单轴左手介质向各向同性右手介质入射,还能实现超棱镜(superprism)现象。计算了横磁波穿越界面时的透过率,证实双曲色散型单轴左手介质可能实现上述应用。

Phase Effects of the Parametric Interaction in Metamaterials

We study the phase effects of the three-wave parametric interaction in metamaterials considering the negative refraction at the frequency of a signal wave. We analyze the efficiency of energy conversions between two direct waves with respect to the energy of the backward signal wave along with the dynamics of the signal-wave amplification in metamaterials. We show that there exist optimum values of the fundamental-wave intensity and the phase mismatch at which the efficiency of conversion is maximum. We obtain an analytic expression for the optimum value of the relative length of the metamaterial and present a numerical evaluation of the expected value for efficiency of the frequency parametric conversion in dielectric waveguides. A sufficient enhancement in the signal-wave amplification, which is possible at optimum values of the pump intensity and the metamaterial total length, leads to the parametric generation of the signal wave. Changing the frequency and power of the pump wave, one can realize a regular tuning of the frequencies of parametric converters.     

Broad Stopband Characteristic of Dielectric Chiral Photonic Crystals

In this paper, a novel chiral photonic crystal structure is presented. The formula of reflection coefficient of multi-layer chiral media is applied to dielectric-chiral photonic crystal structure, which is composed of thin chiral layers sandwiched by conventional media. To compare with previous literature, we consider the dielectric structure with alternate glass and GaAs layers. The power reflectance as a function of wavelength for this photonic crystal structure has been calculated. The results are in good agreement with that of Reference. However, our method is simpler. From these graphs, it is found that 100% reflectance is only in finite wavelength ranges, and reflection bandwidth is also small for conventional photonic crystal structure. For chiral photonic crystal, the results show that the chiral photonic band gap (PBG) structure gives nearly 100% reflections in the near-infrared region in addition to some parts of the visible region of the wavelengths. Therefore, it can be used as a broadband reflector and filter.

Longitudinal Inverted Compressibility in Super-strained Metamaterials

We develop a statistical physics theory for solid-solid phase transitions in which a metamaterial undergoes longitudinal contraction in response to increase in external tension. Such transitions, which are forbidden in thermodynamic equilibrium, have recently been shown to be possible during the decay of metastable, super-strained states. We present a first-principles model to predict these transitions and validate it using molecular dynamics simulations. Aside from its immediate mechanical implications, our theory points to a wealth of analogous inverted responses, such as inverted susceptibility or heat-capacity transitions, allowed when considering realistic scales.
