利用电介质柱共振器实现电磁响应模式可转变的电磁超介质

本文利用电磁场数值计算方法研究了横截面具有不同长宽比例的电介质柱的电磁共振模式,发现横截面长宽比例影响电介质柱共振模式的激发顺序.截面长宽比小于2.2时,首先激发磁共振模式;而长宽比大于2.2时,磁共振模式在第二个共振被激发;作为转折点,截面长宽比例约为2.2的电介质柱不能激发磁共振模式.结果还表明改变电磁波入射方向可以调节长方形截面的电介质柱的磁共振发生的频率位置,实现偏振可控的电磁响应,这为新颖的电介质电磁超介质的设计与研究提供有价值的信息. 关键词： 电介质 电磁超介质 共振     

High-performance and fabrication friendly polarization demultiplexer

A compact and fabrication friendly polarization demultiplexer (P-DEMUX) is proposed and characterized to enable wavelength-division-multiplexing and polarization-division-multiplexing simultaneously. The proposed structure is composed of a polarization-selective microring resonator in ultrathin waveguide and two bus channels in the silicon nitride-silica-silicon horizontal slot waveguides. In the slot waveguide, the transverse electric (TE) mode propagates through the silicon layer, while the transverse magnetic (TM) mode is confined in the slot region. In the designed ultra-thin waveguide, the TM mode is cut-off. The effective indexes of the TE modes for ultrathin and slot waveguides have comparable values. Thanks for these distinguishing features, the input TE mode can be efficiently filtered through the ultra-thin microring at the resonant wavelength, while the TM mode can directly output from the through port. Simulation results show that the extinction ratio of the proposed P-DEMUX for TE and TM modes are 33.21 dB and 24.97 dB, and the insertion losses are 0.346 dB and 0.324 dB, respectively, at the wavelength of 1551.64 nm. Furthermore, the device shows a broad bandwidth ($>100$ nm) for an extinction ratio (ER) of $>20$ dB. In addition, the proposed P-DEMUX also has a good fabrication tolerance for the waveguide width variation of $-20$ nm$\le \Delta w_{\rm g}\le 20$ nm and the microring width variation of $-20$ nm$\le \Delta w_{\rm r}\le $20 nm for a low insertion loss of $<0.75$ dB and low ER of $<-18$ dB.     

Dual‐wavelength optical parametric oscillator using antiresonant ring interferometer

A novel technique for coupling of two resonant optical cavities using an antiresonant ring (ARR) interferometer is reported. By deploying two synchronously‐pumped femtosecond optical parametric oscillators (OPOs), it is shown that the use of an ARR can provide an intracavity common path for the two oscillating fields, but without gain coupling between the two nonlinear media. The new technique permits the generation of two signal (idler) wavelengths, which can be independently and arbitrarily varied across the OPO tuning range. The absence of gain coupling also enables unrestricted and uninterrupted tuning through wavelength degeneracy at any arbitrary point within the OPO tuning range. It is shown that signal wavelength pairs tunable across 1500–1580 nm, corresponding to a frequency separation from ∼ 10 THz down to exact degeneracy, can be generated from the coupled OPOs, limited only by the reflectivity of the available mirrors.     

Optomechanical sensing with on-chip microcavities

The coupling between optical and mechanical degrees of freedom has been of broad interest for a long time. However, it is only until recently, with the rapid development of optical mierocavity research, that we are able to manipulate and utilize this coupling process. When a high Q microeavity couples to a mechanical resonator, they can consolidate into an optomeehanieal system. Benefitting from the unique characteristics offered by optomeehanical coupling, this hybrid system has become a promising platform for ultrasensitive sensors to detect displacement, mass, force and acceleration. In this review, we introduce the basic physical concepts of cavity optomechanies, and describe some of the most typical experimental cavity optomechanical systems for sensing applications. Finally, we discuss the noise arising from various sources and show the potentiality of optomechanical sensing towards quantum-noise-limited detection.     

基于浓硼扩散层的硅纳米线谐振子制备

纳机电系统(NMES)由于具有体积小、智能化、可靠性高等优点而被广泛研究。其中纳米线谐振子的本征频率能够达到MHz甚至GHz,可应用于各种高性能的质量传感器、谐振器、滤波器等。但是,要制备形貌规则可控的纳米线谐振子,对加工技术要求很高。目前急需一种工艺简单、重复性好、三维尺度可控的硅纳米线制备方法。本文重点研究了基于浓硼扩散层的可集成硅纳米线谐振子的制备方法。该方法采用电子束光刻定义可控尺度硅纳米线,并利用TMAH腐蚀自停止效应实现谐振子的释放。文中还采用SEM对所制备的纳米线谐振子进行了表征。实验结果表明,基于浓硼扩散层制备的硅纳米线谐振子形貌规则,结构可控可调。该方法能够实现可控制的大面积、高产率、低成本、可集成的硅纳米线谐振子制备。     

Λ型三能级原子与两个谐振器的量子相位门

量子纠缠的生成和操控在量子通信和量子信息处理中具有广泛的应用价值.通过构建单个Λ型三能级原子和两个超导谐振器之间相互耦合的模型,给出了实现控制Z门(Controlled-Z)的四种操作方案和实现交换门(Swap)的两种操作方案;同时对实现控制Z门的第一种操作方案进行了保真度的数值模拟仿真.结果表明:通过20.83 ns的运行时间,其保真度为96.67%,而衰减率、弛豫速率和移相比率的增加会降低系统的保真度,而耦合强度的增加会减少系统的运行时间,从而减小衰减参数的影响,提高系统的保真度.     

腔内像散扰动对正支共焦腔模式影响的数值分析

 针对激光器出光过程中腔内像差扰动带来的输出光束质量和光束能量下降问题,分析了腔内像差扰动对非稳腔模式的影响,并采用数值迭代法计算了理想情形和腔内像散扰动对无源正支共焦腔输出模式强度和相位分布的影响,进一步采用Zernike模式法对光束相位进行了像差拟合,得到了前35阶Zernike像差系数、点扩散函数(PSF)分布和环围能量曲线,计算了腔内像散扰动量与远场Strehl比的关系。结果表明：对小菲涅耳数正支共焦腔,腔内像散扰动对输出光束强度和相位分布均有明显影响,相位分布中一些高阶Zernike像差也有所增大。因此在进行腔内像差校正时,应优先考虑此类像差的校正。     

Phase-shift, refraction and focusing based on the metamaterial technologies

We address the problem of positive phase-shifting, negative refraction and focusing via a flat lens on the basis of the metamaterial technologies. With this aim, three examples are considered which differ by the technology employed and the operating frequency. The first one concerns negative-zero-positive refraction by using a prism-shaped electromagnetic metamaterial which consists of omega-type inclusion arrays operating at microwaves. The experimental verification was done in this case by angle-resolved transmission measurements. Second, we report on the phase-shift properties of a negative index transmission line which operates at Terahertz frequencies. In order to experimentally demonstrate the left-handed character of the propagation along the line, resulting in a phase advance, we used time domain experiments. At last, focusing by double refraction in a flat negative index lens was demonstrated by the theoretical and experimental mapping of the intensity of the electric field. Such a mapping of the E-field was carried out at near infrared (1.5 μm) by analysis in the time domain and scanning by near field optical microscopy. To cite this article: D. Lippens, C. R.
