Light propagation in nonuniform plasmonic subwavelength waveguide arrays

We study light propagation in nanoscale periodic structures composed of dielectric and metal in the visible range. We demonstrate that diffraction curves of nonuniform waveguide arrays can be tailored by varying the geometric and dielectric features of the waveguides. The results obtained from a proper formulation of coupled mode theory for nonuniform arrays are validated through numerical solution of Maxwell equations in frequency domain.

标准线性固体材料中球面应力波传播特征研究

基于标准线性固体模型, 结合球面波波动方程, 给出了球面应力波的粒子速度v、粒子位移u、径向应力σ_r、切向应力σ_θ、径向应变ε_r、切向应变ε_θ、折合速度势、折合位移势在Laplace域的理论解. 采用基于Crump算法的Laplace数值逆变换方法分析了上述物理量的传播特征. Laplace数值反演结果表明, 线黏弹性材料对强间断球面应力波的初始响应为纯弹性响应, 强间断在传播过程中包含了几何衰减和本构黏性衰减, 应力、应变、粒子速度的衰减特性和粒子位移、应力、应变、折合位移势等物理量的稳态值同黏弹性球面波的理论预测一致. 折合速度势和折合位移势的峰值随波传播距离的增加逐渐衰减, 这与理想弹性理论给出的折合速度势和折合位移势不随传播距离变化的结论不同. 折合位移势的稳态值与介质的静态剪切模量成反比, 与稳态空腔压力成正比, 与空腔半径的三次方成正比.     

Light scattering and absorption by densely packed groups of spherical particles

Light scattering by clusters of spheres is investigated using numerical light scattering simulations. We consider clusters with density of 0.1-30%. Simulations are carried out for various real part of refractive indices (i.e., 1.01, 1.10, 1.31, 1.60, and 2.00) and for two values of the imaginary part of the refractive index (0 and 0.01) of spheres in the cluster. All spheres in the cluster have the same size (kr=4, k=2π/λ, r is the radius of the sphere, λ is the wavelength of the incident light).The obtained results include behaviors of cross sections as functions of densities (up to 30%), investigation of the influence of multiple scattering inside the media on the cross sections, and influence of densities on phase matrix elements (PMEs) and parameters obtained from the PMEs such as the cross polarization ratio, degree of linear depolarization, entropy, etc.In addition, we also investigate the influence of particle size for the same total volume of the cluster on cross sections. The outer radius R of the cluster of spheres was constant and equal to 40/k in all calculations.     

Hydrodynamic crystals: collective dynamics of regular arrays of spherical particles in a parallel-wall channel

Simulations of over 10;{3} hydrodynamically coupled solid spheres are performed to investigate collective motion of linear trains and regular square arrays of particles suspended in a fluid bounded by two parallel walls. Our novel accelerated Stokesian-dynamics algorithm relies on simplifications associated with the Hele-Shaw asymptotic far-field form of the flow scattered by the particles. The simulations reveal propagation of particle-displacement waves, deformation, and rearrangements of a particle lattice, propagation of dislocation defects in ordered arrays, and long-lasting coexistence of ordered and disordered regions.     

Light scattering from anisotropic particles: propagation,localization, and nonlinearity

Plasmon resonances and extraordinary light scatterings of a nanoparticle with radial anisotropy are studied and summarized. The coupling between localized surface plasmons and far‐field quantities is discussed. It is found that the presence of radial anisotropy redistributes the localization of plasmons and also results in certain novel phenomena in the far zone, which provide the possibility of scattering control such as electromagnetic transparency, enhanced scattering cross section, etc. The nonlinear optical response is explored in order to yield deeper physical insight into the interaction between plasmons and incident light.     

Light attenuation by disperse layers with a high concentration of oriented anisotropic spherical particles

An analysis is made of the applicability of Beer’s law to the calculation of coefficients of directed (coherent) transmittance of light-scattering media formed by oriented anisotropic spherical liquid-crystal droplets. It is shown on the basis of comparison with experimental data that the application of Beer’s law to a layer with a high concentration of anisotropic particles leads to large errors in the calculation of transmittance. The interference approximation, taking into account the interference of waves scattered by separate particles, leads to better agreement with the experiment than Beer’s law, which assumes a linear relation between the attenuation factor of a disperse medium and the particle concentration.     

Dispersion compensation properties of dual-concentric core photonic crystal fibers

The dispersion compensation properties of dual-concentric core photonic crystal fibers are theoretically investigated in this letter.The effects of geometric structure on the dispersion properties of dual-concentric core photonic crystal fibers are carefully studied by finite element method.The first layer of holes around the core area is enlarged in a new manner with the near-core point fixed.Considering the tradeoff among several parameters,results show that the dispersion compensation wavelength and strength can be tuned to desired values by constructing an appropriate design of the geometric structure of photonic crystal fibers.     

Mode characteristics of nano-width rectangle resonator

A new method based on Maxwell's equations,ABCD ray matrices,and total internal reflection is proposed to theoretically analyze the characteristics of eigenmodes confined in nano-width rectangle resonators.Using this method,mode wavelengths and indices of transverse and longitudinal modes are obtained.Another method based on the finite difference time domain technique and Pad′e approximation is used to numerically calculate resonant wavelengths,mode field distributions and quality factors.The results of two methods show that the resonant wavelengths obtained from both methods are very close,and the maximum relative error is less than 2%.The mode indices of transverse and longitudinal modes obtained agree well with mode field distribution patterns calculated by finite difference time domain techniques.     

Design of double cladding dispersion flattened photonic crystal fiber with deformation insensitive outer cladding air-holes

A design of double cladding dispersion flattened photonic crystal fiber (DF-PCF) is proposed. To employ traditional stack and draw technology, the cladding of the DF-PCF is consisted of triangular periodic air-holes with the same hole to hole pitch. Simulation results show that the small air-holes in the inner cladding are mainly for dispersion management. The large air-holes in the outer cladding are mainly used for light confinement and have little impact on the dispersion tailoring. Thus, the dispersion profile of the double cladding DF-PCFs is insensitive to the deformation of air-holes in the outer cladding. Considering that the larger air-holes are apt to deform in the drawing procedure, the characteristics mentioned above make the realization of DF-PCFs relative easy by employing conventional stack and draw technology and modest air-hole rings (less than 10 rings) in the cladding.     

Nanophotonics of isolated spherical particles

The problem of extreme focusing of an optical beam into the spatial region with wavelength dimensions is considered with the use of the special features of radiation interaction with isolated spherical particles. Results of numerical computations of the optical field intensity at the surface of silver particles of different radii upon exposure to laser radiation with different wavelengths are presented. It is demonstrated that the relative intensity of the plasmon optical field on the nanoparticle surface increases and the field focusing region decreases with increasing particle radius. Results of numerical computations illustrating the influence of the shell of composite nanoparticles comprising a dielectric core and a metal shell on the optical field intensity in the vicinity of the particle are presented. The problem of local optical foci of a transparent microparticle (photonic nanojets) is investigated. It is established that variation of the micron particle size, its optical properties, and laser radiation parameters allows the amplitude and spatial characteristics of the photonic nanojet region to be controlled efficiently.

Non-linear propagation of directional spherical waves

The method of renormalization is used to determine a uniformly valid expansion for the problem of non-linear waves produced in a fluid by spatially non-uniform simple harmonic motion of the surface of a sphere. The effect of dimensionless quantities upon the acoustic shock-formation distance is examined.     

Persistent entanglement in arrays of interacting particles

We study the entanglement properties of a class of N-qubit quantum states that are generated in arrays of qubits with an Ising-type interaction. These states contain a large amount of entanglement as given by their Schmidt measure. They also have a high persistency of entanglement which means that approximately N/2 qubits have to be measured to disentangle the state. These states can be regarded as an entanglement resource since one can generate a family of other multiparticle entangled states such as the generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states of 相似文献   

Propagation of electrons in linear atomic arrays

In this paper a new approach to the problem of electron propagation in one-dimensional arrays is developed. The approach is based on the concept of reflectance defined in the paper and propagation or non-propagation is determined by the single question of the reflectances being unity or not. This notion throws fresh insight into the localized state in one-dimensional systems and here the notion that all electrons in one-dimensional systems are localized is discussed.
