双平行圆柱形MDM纳米棒等离子体波导的传输特性分析

设计了一种由双平行圆柱形纳米棒构成的金属-介质-金属(MDM)型等离子体波导,采用时域有限差分方法(FDTD)分析了波导结构的传输特性。当光波垂直主轴入射时,电磁场被很好地局限在两纳米棒所形成的中间区域以及介质层中,从而在该波导中能够有效地耦合电磁场能量。在工作波长为1 550 nm的情况下,随着内层金属芯半径的增大,有效折射率减小,传播距离增大;而中间介质层厚度增大时,有效折射率增大,传播距离减小。当外层金属壳厚为20 nm时,电场可以很好地被限制在纳米棒的介质层内。上述结果表明:通过调整波导结构的几何参数可以显著提高金属纳米棒的场限制,降低波导本身的损耗, 使波导的有效折射率和传播长度达到最优化。这种等离子体波导能够实现亚波长的光限制,可以应用于光子器件集成和传感器领域。     

浅海波导界面对点源振速方向的影响

采用“虚源法”分析计算了浅海波导环境中接收点处点源总振速方向与水平面夹角,侧重讨论确定性界面反射对总振速方向的影响。研究结果表明：总振速方向和接收点与声源的水平距离、两者深度,海底、海面特性以及声速剖面等有关。在等声速均匀浅海波导中,由于确定性界面反射的影响,当直达声掠射角为1°～50°时,合成总振速方向偏离直达声方向达1.5°～10.5°,声速剖面呈负梯度时,偏离程度更甚.     

Mode theory of three-layer cylindrical waveguides and its application to aurum(Au)/polystyrene(PS)-coated terahertz hollow waveguides

In this paper, we present a generic mode theory for the three-layer cylindrical waveguides consisting of three arbitrary material mediums. Based on derived eigenvalue equations of the TE, TM, and hybrid modes, the mode conditions of metal/dielectric-coated terahertz hollow waveguides are extracted. In addition, we quantitatively describe both the effective refractive indexes and the loss characteristics of the aurum/polystyrene-coated terahertz hollow waveguides operating at the TE₀₁, TM₀₁, and HE₁₁ modes. It is indicated that the loss coefficient of the TE₀₁ mode can be much lower than that of the TM₀₁, and HE₁₁ modes, and, especially, can tend to that of the terahertz wave in air. So the TE₀₁ mode is very significant for the hollow waveguides in term of low loss propagating of the terahertz wave. We expect these results to enable a variety of new long-distance THz applications in sensing, detecting and communicating.

Carbon Dioxide Measurement Based on Multimode Diode Laser Correlation Spectroscopy Employing Wavelength Modulation Techniques

The use of a tunable multimode diode laser system based on correlation spectroscopy and wavelength modulation spectroscopy to measure the concentration of the carbon dioxide in ambient air through the 2 υ₁ + 2υ₂ + υ₃ absorption lines around 1570 nm is reported. The carbon dioxide concentrations are derived from the relationship between the normalized second-harmonic signal peak heights of the measurement and reference signals. The validation of the system is conducted by a set of experiments with controlled carbon dioxide and nitrogen mixtures. The correlation and standard deviation between the measured and actual carbon dioxide concentrations are 0.9973 and 4.03%, respectively, over the tested range. A detection limit of 340 ppm m was achieved using 30 successive measurements during 30 min. All these results demonstrated potential utility of the system for carbon dioxide sensing.

Optimizing Design for the Traveling Wave Electrodes in Low-Drive High-Speed Electro-Optic Polymer Modulators

Electro-optic (EO) polymer modulators are very promising in the realization of cost-effective and high-performance optical transmissions. In this article, general strategies and specific designs of the traveling wave electrodes in EO polymer modulators were presented to reduce the modulator drive power while maintaining a broadband response. The optimum device parameters and corresponding conditions were estimated using finite element method based on electrode design. In calculating the results, the comprehensive characteristics of polymer modulator with 1.21 V half-wave voltage and 91 GHz bandwidth was demonstrated with electro-optic interaction length is 20 mm, electro-optic coefficient is 55 pm/V, and operation wavelength is 1.319 μm. These results agree with the 0.8 V half-wave voltage and 30 mm electro-optic interaction length reported in Science. In the five designs presented, a hybrid electrode structure combining CPW and microstrip lines were advanced. The characteristics of this structure are like that of microstrip lines with a single-arm electrode on one arm of the waveguide, but it solves the problem of microstrip to coaxial line transition and corona polarization.
