High-temperature superconducting filter using self-embedding asymmetric stepped impedance resonator with wide stopband performance and miniaturized size

In this study, a novel self-embedding asymmetric stepped impedance resonator(SE-ASIR) topology is proposed. By embedding asymmetric stepped impedance resonators in themselves, circuit sizes of ASIRs can be reduced effectively,while the ability to control spurious modes of ASIRs remains. Therefore, SE-ASIRs are suitable for being used to design filters with wide stopbands and miniaturized sizes. Furthermore, the construction process of the SE-ASIR is described in detail, and an equivalent model of the SE-ASIR is proposed. For demonstration, a high-temperature superconducting bandpass filter centered at 1112 MHz is designed and fabricated. The measured result agrees well with the simulation result and shows that the out-of-band rejection is better than 60 dB up to 4088 MHz, which is about 3.7 times the center frequency.The filter circuit size is 31 mm ×13 mm or 0.28λ_g× 0.12λ_g, where λ_g is the guided wavelength at 1112 MHz.

A new type of HTc superconducting film combshape resonator for radio frequency superconducting quantum interference devices (RF SQUID) has been designed. This new type of superconducting film comb-shape resonator is formed by a foursquare microstrip line without a flux concentrator. The range of the center frequency of this type of resonator varies from 800 MHz to 1 300 MHz by changing the length of the teeth. In this paper, we report on simulating the relationship of the value of the center frequency and the length of the teeth, and testing the noise of HTc RF SQUID coupling this comb-shape resonator. __________ Translated from Chinese Journal of Low Temperature Physics, 2005, 27(3) (in Chinese)

Compact ultra-narrowband superconducting filter using N-spiral resonator with open-loop secondary coupling structure

A novel N-spiral resonator with open-loop secondary coupling structure(OLSCS) is proposed to realize a compact ultra-narrowband high temperature superconducting(HTS) filter. The coupling strength and polarity between the resonators can be significantly reduced and changed by introducing OLSCS, thus the required weak coupling can be achieved in a very compact size. A six-pole superconducting filter at 1701 MHz with a fractional bandwidth of 0.19% is designed to validate this method. The filter is fabricated on Mg O substrate with a compact size of 15 mm × 10 mm. The measured insertion loss is 0.79 d B, and the return loss is better than 17.4 d B. The experimental results show a good agreement with the simulations.     

Tunable optical filter based on Sagnac phase-shift using single optical ring resonator

In this paper, a single optical ring resonator connected to a Sagnac loop is used to demonstrate theoretically a novel narrow band optical filter response that is based on Sagnac phase-shift Δφ. The given filter structure permits the Sagnac rotation to control the filter response. It is shown that by changing the Sagnac rotation rate, we can tune the filter response for desired bandwidths. To increase the wavelength selectivity of the filter, the Sagnac phase-shift should be as small as possible that is limited by the loop length. For Δφ=0.1 rad, the obtained FWHM is 2.63 MHz for tuning loop length of 2 m. The simulation response agrees fairly with the recently reported experimental result.

A high-temperature superconducting filter with controllable transmission zero

This paper presents a novel microstrip feedline structure to introduce an extra and controllable transmission zero(TZ)with high rejection for a narrowband filter. This structure loads a reconfigurable capacitor at the end of the input feedline without changing the main structure of the filter. The capacitor is recognized by a 2-bit inter-digital capacitor array. The asymmetrical microstrip feedline structure is suitable for multiple-pole filter designs. A low-loss six-pole high-temperature superconducting bandpass filter with a reconfigurable TZ is designed and fabricated. The center frequency of the filter is 5.22 GHz with TZ at the lower stopband. The TZ can be tuned among four different states. The out-of-band rejection at the TZ frequency is higher than 90 d B, and the insertion loss is lower than 0.92 d B. The measured results are consistent with the simulations.     

Low power Electro-optical filter: Constructed using silicon nanobeam resonator and PIN junction

In this paper, a high tunable Electro-optical filter is designed and simulated with low electric power consumption. A silicon nanobeam resonator based on one-dimensional photonic crystal in the form of Fabry–Perot structure, silicon-on-insulator waveguide, is proposed with a PIN junction. In designing nanobeam resonator, “deterministic design method” is used to achieve the high quality factor and high-transmission rate. Tuning of the resonant wavelength in the output channel of the filter is achieved by manipulating the refractive index of the active area by using the free-carrier dispersion effect. The output wavelengths of designed device can be tuned for the telecom-friendly 1.55 µm range. The device shows a wavelength shift higher than 3 nm for a power consumption of only 0.9 mW. Finally, the simulation results show that the provided device can be considered as a narrowband and tunable Electro-optical filter that is suitable for DWDM communication system.

A tunable infrared plasmonic polarization filter with asymmetrical cross resonator

A tunable infrared plasmonic polarization filter is proposed and investigated in this paper. The filter is based on the sandwich absorption structure which consists of three layers. The top layer is an array of asymmetrical cross resonator.The middle and bottom layers are dielectric spacer and metal film respectively. By absorbing specific wavelength of the incident light perfectly, the reflection spectrum of the structure shows filter performance. The calculated results show that the absorption wavelength is strongly dependent on the length of branch of the asymmetrical cross resonator which is parallel to the light polarization and independent of the length of the vertical one. Therefore, the asymmetrical cross resonator filter structure opens the way for freely tuning the filtering wavelength for a different light polarization. We can fix a resonant wavelength(absorption wavelength) corresponding to one polarization and change the resonant wavelength for the other polarization by adjusting the corresponding branch length of the asymmetrical cross resonator, or change the two resonant wavelengths of both two polarizations at the same time.

The narrow band THz filter in metallic photonic crystal slab framework: Design and investigation

A band pass THz filter has been presented by the aid of coupling between the waveguides and ring resonator based on metallic photonic crystal slab. The rows of rods are missed and remaining rods in the rows play as a reflector then the position of central rods are rearranged as a ring, the radius of reflector rods and ring resonator is modified in order to optimize the resonance frequency and Q-factor. In addition, 3D-FDTD method is used for simulation results. One of the predominant features of the proposed structure for THz filter is its capability of obtaining a Q-factor of about 333 in the 1 THz resonance frequency with the normalized peak transmission of higher than 0.7, because of high Q-factor cavity based on ring resonator.
