Doubly resonant single-layer bandpass optical filters

A bandpass filter based on guided-mode resonance effects in a single-layer periodic waveguide is presented. Strong refractive-index modulation is used to support the excitation of a resonance pair in which leaky waveguide mode TE0 is excited by the second diffraction order and TE2 by the first diffraction order. It is shown that one resonance provides a broad low-transmission band, whereas the other supplies the transmission peak through its asymmetrical line shape. A bandpass filter with central wavelength at 1.55 microm is presented to demonstrate this concept.

A new portable sound processor for the University of Melbourne/Nucleus Limited multielectrode cochlear implant.

A new processor, called the spectral maxima sound processor (SMSP), has been developed for the University of Melbourne/Nucleus Limited multielectrode cochlear implant. The SMSP analyses sound signals by means of a bandpass filterbank having 16 channels which are allocated tonotopically to the implanted electrodes. Every 4 ms, typically, the six channels with the largest amplitudes are selected, and six corresponding electrodes are activated. In an ongoing study the performance of the SMSP is being compared with that of the Mini Speech Processor (MSP). Some results of speech perception tests from the first two SMSP users are presented, in which scores for the recognition of vowels, consonants, and words all showed significant increases over the corresponding MSP scores.     

Multichannel filtering properties of photonic crystals containing single-negative materials

The multichannel filtering properties have been investigated by means of the transfer matrix method in photonic crystals containing two kinds of single-negative materials. Two sets of filtering channels appear simultaneously in the zero effective phase gaps. One is omnidirectional for TE polarization but angle-sensitive for TM polarization, while the other is angle-sensitive for TE polarization but omnidirectional for TM polarization. The resonance modes for different channels can be independently tuned. This structure provides an efficient way to fabricate omnidirectional multichannel filters with independently tunable polarization channels.

Periodically Poled Titanium-Diffused Lithium Niobate Wavelength Filters Utilizing Šolc-Type TE↔TM Mode Converters

Abstract

?olc-type wavelength filters have been demonstrated in a 52-mm long periodically poled titanium-diffused lithium niobate channel waveguide with a domain period of 16.6 μm. At room temperature, the center wavelength and the full-width at half maximum of the filter were about 1,272.49 nm and 0.23 nm, respectively. The nearest side-lobe is about 7 dB. New structures of flat-top bandpass filters and an optical add/drop multiplexer utilizing ?olc-type TE?TM mode converters are proposed for the first time.     

Bandpass filter with adjustable bandwidth based on a press-induced long-period twisted holey-fiber grating

A bandpass filter with adjustable bandwidth based on a press-induced long-period grating in a twisted holey fiber is presented. By twisting the holey fiber prior to the application of periodic pressure, each rejection band of the nontwisted induced long-period grating is split into two shifted rejection bands that move further apart as the twist ratio increases. This feature results in a wide bandpass filter with controllable bandwidth. A bandpass filter at 1523 nm with adjustable bandwidth from 15 to 65 nm with near-linear response and insertion loss lower than 0.7 dB is demonstrated. Additionally, the bandpass filter can be tuned over 100 nm.     

Graphical design of millimeter-wave finline bandpass filters

A very simple yet accurate design procedure for the finline bandpass filters at millimeter wavelengths is presented. The technique enables the geometry of finline bandpass filters to be obtained accurately from simple closed-form equations and curves. Using this graphical approach, various millimeter-wave finline bandpass filters have been designed. Results in V-band (50 to 75 GHz) and W-band (75 to 110 GHz) are presented and indicate a good agreement between the calculated and measured performances.     

A novel polarization channel drop filter based on two-dimensional photonic crystals

<正>A novel polarization channel drop filter(PCDF) based on two-dimensional(2D) photonic crystals(PCs) is presented.It consists of two line defect waveguides and two point defect micro-cavities.In the line-defect waveguides,the transverse-electric(TE) and transverse-magnetic(TM) polarization lights are guided using photonic band-gap and total internal reflection effect,respectively.The light at the resonant frequency for TE polarization can be transferred from one waveguide to the other using the proposed system.Compared with the existing four-port PCDF based on PCs,the three-port structure can realize a multi-channel wavelength system of PCDF more easily and can be an essential device in future polarization wavelength division multiplexing(PWDM) systems.

Synthesis of bandpass grid filter for linear polarized millimeter wave

A method based on equivalent circuit and transmission line model is proposed to design narrow bandpass grid filters in short millimeter wave. Several bandpass filters with 2, 3 or 4 element inductive wire grids in the 70GHz region have been designed with Butterworth or Chebyshev characteristic for linear polarized wave. The agreement between measurement and design theory is good and this proves the rationality and practicality of our design theory.     

Scattering from an anisotropic cylindrical dielectric shell

The electromagnetic scattering from an anisotropic cylindrical dielectric shell is formulated by using the wave functions for anisotropic media and the boundary-value method. The cylindrical shell is assumed to be infinite in length, and it is illuminated by a plane wave or a cylindrical wave from a line source. The problem is two-dimensional and the solutions to both types of polarization (TE and TM) are presented. Numerical results for the effects of various geometrical and electrical parameters on the bistatic radar cross section are presented.     

Self-coupled dual-mode ring resonator with turning transmission zeros in microwave bandpass filter for planar metamaterial: analysis and design

An H-shape dual-mode closed resonator with self-coupled segments is reported. The self-coupling between ring segments renders an equivalent mode perturbation effect as the normal ways of adding stub, cutting notch, or varying line impedance to the ring resonator. The mode perturbation and transmission-zero generation from the self-coupling effect and step-impedance were analyzed using the even–odd mode theory. By regulating the impedance ratio and coupling coefficients of self-coupled sections, the self-coupled ring resonator can produce either the capacitive or inductive perturbation. The input and output positions affect the number and locations of transmission zero. The positions of input and output ports are properly selected. In the capacitive perturbation case, when the two transmission zeros are located on both sides of the passband, and bring about a pseudo-elliptic bandpass response. The analysis of finding optimized taping positions of input and output ports is proposed. Comparing to the regular uniform ring resonator, the H-shaped self-coupled ring resonator has shorter ring length, is easily to be folded and does not destroy the dual-mode characteristics. The feature of compact size is favorable in the design of a bandpass filter. A 2.45-GHz bandpass filter based on the H-shaped self-coupled ring resonator was performed to verify the proposed theory. A schematic bandpass filter was implemented with a compact size which is only 20% of the conventional dual-mode bandpass filter.

Modeling the identification of concurrent vowels with different fundamental frequencies.

Human listeners are better able to identify two simultaneous vowels if the fundamental frequencies of the vowels are different. A computational model is presented which, for the first time, is able to simulate this phenomenon at least qualitatively. The first stage of the model is based upon a bank of bandpass filters and inner hair-cell simulators that simulate approximately the most relevant characteristics of the human auditory periphery. The output of each filter/hair-cell channel is then autocorrelated to extract pitch and timbre information. The pooled autocorrelation function (ACF) based on all channels is used to derive a pitch estimate for one of the component vowels from a signal composed of two vowels. Individual channel ACFs showing a pitch peak at this value are combined and used to identify the first vowel using a template matching procedure. The ACFs in the remaining channels are then combined and used to identify the second vowel. Model recognition performance shows a rapid improvement in correct vowel identification as the difference between the fundamental frequencies of two simultaneous vowels increases from zero to one semitone in a manner closely resembling human performance. As this difference increases up to four semitones, performance improves further only slowly, if at all.     

A compact sharp-edge wide bandpass near-infrared filter based on graded-index sinusoidally corrugated photonic crystal

In this study, a wide-bandpass near-infrared filter is devised based on a novel sinusoidally corrugated multilayer structure. The presented structure exhibits a wider bandpass and higher average transmission amplitude than the conventional triangular design. Cut-on frequency of the proposed bandpass filter can be tuned by the variation of horizontal lattice constant. Thus it can be applied as a tunable multichannel filter. Particle swarm optimization procedure was carried out to find the optimal arrangement of dielectric materials to eliminate the undesired fluctuations in the transmission spectrum at the beginning of the passband region. We compared the bandpass filtering behavior of the simple/graded sinusoidal photonic structures with and without anti-reflective double layer coating. Utilization of the optimized graded-index Quasi-periodic photonic crystal results in a sharper cut-on wavelength as well as flatter transmission spectrum than the application of the anti-reflective double-layer coating.
