聚合物填充的狭缝波导定向耦合器的数值分析(英文)

利用亥姆霍兹方程和有限差分法,给出一种用于分析聚合物SU-8填充的双狭缝波导定向耦合特性的数值方法,推导出双耦合狭缝波导模式特性的特征方程,并做了离散化和稀疏化处理,得到耦合波导的模式场分布和有效折射率.通过求解最高阶偶对称和最高阶奇对称模式的有效折射率,得到TE和TM偏振态下定向耦合器的耦合长度.数值分析结果表明,当耦合间距小于800nm时,耦合长度小于100μm.利用椭偏仪测得狭缝波导各层材料的光学参数随工作波长的色散关系,研究分析了双狭缝波导耦合长度和模式损耗的色散特性.分析显示,随着工作波长的增大,两种偏振模式下的耦合长度均减小,且TM模式下的耦合长度大于TE模式下的耦合长度,当工作波长为1 550nm时,二者分别为28.2和26.2μm(两狭缝波导间的耦合间距为0.5μm时).同时,模式损耗也随波长的增大而减小,且TE模式损耗大于TM模式损耗,当工作波长为1 550nm时,TE及TM模式的振幅衰减系数分别为5.65和3.16dB/cm.

低热应力热稳定曲线型阵列波导光栅复用器

相对方形阵列波导光栅波分复用器芯片而言,采用曲线切割的复用器芯片可以成倍地增加单个晶圆上的复用器产出率,但是曲线切割复用器的中心波长更加容易受到热应力的影响,该热应力是由于封装盒与耦合到复用器芯片上的带状光纤之间的线膨胀系数差异所引起的.本文实验分析了封装热应力对复用器中心波长的影响,结果表明,封装热应力与复用器中心波长之间的变化成线性关系.即使采用比较软的硅橡胶将复用器上的带状光纤固定到封装盒上,对于热稳定封装的曲线复用器而言,当环境温度在-20~65℃之间变化时,其中心波长也会有46 pm的变化.通过在热稳定复用器封装用的加热片上贴一片高硼硅玻璃,同时将带状光纤用硅橡胶固定到高硼硅玻璃上的方法,既保证了带状光纤相对封装盒固定,又减小了它们之间线膨胀系数不一致导致的热应力.实验结果表明,在-20到65 ℃温度范围内,这种复用器模块的中心波长高低温变化典型值小于5 pm,而且光纤所受的应力典型值小于0.029 MPa.     

Efficient frequency doubling of a telecom 1560 nm laser in a waveguide and frequency stabilization to Rb D_2 line

We experimentally demonstrate efficient frequency doubling of a telecom 1560 nm distributed feedback diode laser with a 3 cm long MgO：PPLN waveguide with a conversion coefficient of 114%/W. We investigate optical inhomogeneities by measuring the quasi-phase-matching temperature curve. The -2.7 mW of second-harmonic power at 780 nm is sufficient to detect the Rb D2 features using modulation transfer spectroscopy. The laser frequency is locked to a hyperfine transition of Rb D2 line and typical residual frequency fluctuation of ＋86 kHz （rms） is achieved within 30 min. Our experimental scheme can be used for realizing robust, compact, and highly accurate Rb stabilized 1560 nm laser systems for fiber-optic communication applications.

Effective absorption enhancement in small molecule organic solar cells using trapezoid gratings

We demonstrate that the optical absorption is enhanced in small molecule organic solar cells by using a trapezoid grating structure. The enhanced absorption is mainly attributed to both waveguide modes and surface plasmon modes, which is simulated by using finite-difference time-domain method. The simulated results show that the surface plasmon along the semitransparent metallic Ag anode is excited by introducing the periodical trapezoid gratings, which induce the increase of high intensity field in the donor layer. Meanwhile, the waveguide modes result in a high intensity field in acceptor layer. The increase of field improves the absorption of organic solar cells significantly, which is demonstrated by simulating the electrical properties. The simulated results also show that the short-circuit current is increased by 31% in an optimized device, which is supported by the experimental measurement. Experimental result shows that the power conversion efficiency of the grating sample is increased by 7.7%.     

Hybrid plasmon waveguides with metamaterial substrate and dielectric substrate:A contrastive study

Hybrid plasmon waveguides, respectively, with metamaterial substrate and dielectric substrate are investigated and analyzed contrastively with a numerical finite element method. Basic properties, including propagation length Lp, effective mode area Aeff, and energy distribution, are obtained and compared with waveguide geometric parameters at 1.55 gin. For the waveguide with metamaterial substrate, propagation length Lp increases to several tens of microns and effective mode area Aeff is reduced by more than 3 times. Moreover, the near field region is expanded, leading to potential applications in nanophotonics. Therefore, it could be very helpful for improving the integration density in optical chips and developing functional components on a nanometer scale for all optical integrated circuits.     

A numerical study of electromagnetic waves in periodic waveguides

Here are considered time‐harmonic electromagnetic waves in a quadratic waveguide consisting of a periodic dielectric core enclosed by conducting walls. The permittivity function may be smooth or have jumps. The electromagnetic field is given by a magnetic vector potential in Lorenz gauge, and defined on a Floquet cell. The Helmholtz operator is approximated by a Chebyshev collocation, Fourier–Galerkin method. Laurent's rule and the inverse rule are employed for the representation of Fourier coefficients of products of functions. The computations yield, for known wavenumbers, values of the first few eigenfrequencies of the field. In general, the dispersion curves exhibit band gaps. Field patterns are identified as transverse electric, TE, transverse magnetic, TM, or hybrid modes. Maxwell's equations are fulfilled. A few trivial solutions appear when the permittivity varies in the guiding direction and across it. The results of the present method are consistent with exact results and with those obtained by a low‐order finite element software. The present method is more efficient than the low‐order finite element method. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 30: 490–513, 2014     

双空间指示函数方法在三维柱面对称波导中电磁波的反散射问题的推广

给出了双空间指示函数方法在三维柱面对称波导中电磁波的反散射问题的推广.基于这个观察:当Green函数的点源在障碍物内部时,那么远域数据的赋权积分可以很好地近似估计Green函数,但是当Green函数的点源在障碍物外部时,那么远域数据的赋权积分就不能很好地近似估计Green函数.建立一个积分方程:它的右边是点源在所重构区域的Green函数,那么我们可以知道这个积分方程的解的范数在未知障碍物的内部有极大值,而这些取得极大值的点所围成的区域恰好就是所重构的障碍物区域.方法最显著的优势在于它不依赖于未知障碍物的边界条件.
