利用两组串联五环谐振器以及它们与两信道波导的交叉耦合作用,优化设计并模拟了一种超低串扰2×2新型聚合物电光开关.为了表征器件的输出光功率特性,给出了器件结构、分析理论和相关公式.为了在下行端口(drop端口)得到箱型光谱响应以及极低的串扰和插入损耗,优化了微环谐振级数和耦合间距.对器件输出光功率和输出光谱的模拟分析结果显示,器件交叉和直通态间的切换电压为4V,交叉和直通态下两端口间的串扰分别为-66dB和-54.7dB,插入损耗分别为2.34dB和0.24dB.在1GHz方波信号作用下,器件drop端口的上升和下降时间分别为15ps和90ps.由于聚合物微环的弯曲半径仅为19.45μm,因此该器件具有超紧凑的尺寸,其长度和宽度仅为0.407mm,约为马赫-曾德尔干涉仪或者定向耦合器等一般结构聚合物电光开关长度的1/10.依赖于小的封装尺寸和极低的串扰,该器件可以高密度地集成在光电子芯片上,在光片上网络中光信号的控制方面具有潜在的应用.

A new proposal for PCRR-based channel drop filter using elliptical rings

In this paper using elliptical resonant ring we proposed a channel drop filter based on photonic crystal structures suitable for optical communication applications. The drop efficiency and the quality factor of our proposed filter is 100% and 647. We also investigated the optical properties of different configurations of the proposed photonic crystal ring resonator such as vertical ring, dual ring and triple ring structures. According to the results different configurations show different optical properties, so for vertical, double and triple ring configurations the quality factor will be 387, 865 and 1559, respectively.     

Compact and high-energy diode-side-pumped Q-switched Nd:YAG slab laser system for space application

We develop a compact and high-energy Nd：YAG slab laser system consisting of an oscillator and an amplifier for space applications. The oscillator is a diode-side-pumped electro-optically Q-switched slab laser with a cross-Porro resonator. The KD＊P Pockels cell with a low driving voltage of 950 V is used to polarization output coupling. The amplifier is a Nd：YAG zigzag slab pumped at bounces. The maximum output pulse energy of 341 m3 with 13 ns pulse duration is obtained from the system at the repetition rate of 20 Hz and the beam quality factors are M2=3.1 and M2=3.5. The beam pointing stabilities of the laser system are 3.05μrad in the X-direction and 3.99 grad in the Y-direction, respectively.     

Highly sensitive digital optical sensor with large measurement range based on the dual-microring resonator with waveguide-coupled feedback

We propose a novel high-performance digital optical sensor based on the Mach-Zehnder interferential effect and the dual-microring resonators with the waveguide-coupled feedback. The simulation results show that the sensitivity of the sensor can be orders of magnitude higher than that of aconventional sensor, and high quality factor is not critical in it. Moreover, by optimizing the length of the feedback waveguide to be equal to the perimeter of the ring, the measurement range of the proposed sensor is twice as much as that of the conventional sensor in the weak coupling case.     

A tunable infrared plasmonic polarization filter with asymmetrical cross resonator

A tunable infrared plasmonic polarization filter is proposed and investigated in this paper. The filter is based on the sandwich absorption structure which consists of three layers. The top layer is an array of asymmetrical cross resonator.The middle and bottom layers are dielectric spacer and metal film respectively. By absorbing specific wavelength of the incident light perfectly, the reflection spectrum of the structure shows filter performance. The calculated results show that the absorption wavelength is strongly dependent on the length of branch of the asymmetrical cross resonator which is parallel to the light polarization and independent of the length of the vertical one. Therefore, the asymmetrical cross resonator filter structure opens the way for freely tuning the filtering wavelength for a different light polarization. We can fix a resonant wavelength(absorption wavelength) corresponding to one polarization and change the resonant wavelength for the other polarization by adjusting the corresponding branch length of the asymmetrical cross resonator, or change the two resonant wavelengths of both two polarizations at the same time.     

Band-stop optical nanofilters with split-ring resonators based on metal–insulator–metal structure

Novel band-stop filters with circular split-ring resonators based on the metal–insulator–metal(MIM) structure are presented, with their transmission properties of SPPs propagating through the filter simulated by the finite-difference timedomain(FDTD) method. The variation of the gap of the split ring can affect the transmission characteristics, i.e., the transmission spectrum of SPPs exhibiting a shift, which is useful for modulating the filter. Linear and nonlinear media are used in the resonator respectively. By varying the refractive index of the linear medium, the transmission properties can be changed obviously, and the effect caused by changing the incident intensity with a nonlinear medium is similar.Several resonant modes that are applicable can be enhanced by changing the position of the gap of the split ring. Thus, the transmission properties can be modulated by adjusting the size of the gap, varying the refractive index, and changing the incident intensity of the input light. These methods may play significant roles in applications of optical integrated circuits and nanostructural devices.     

Functional organic single crystals for solid‐state laser applications

Because of long‐range order and high chemical purity, organic crystals have exhibit unique properties and attracted a lot of interest for application in solid‐state lasers. As optical gain materials, they exhibit high stimulated emission cross section and broad tunable wavelength emission as similar to their amorphous counterpart; moreover, high purity and high order give them superior properties such as low scattering trap densities, high thermal stability, as well as highly polarized emission. As electronic materials, they are potentially able to support high current densities, thus making it possible to realize current driven lasers. This paper mainly describes recent research progress in organic semiconductor laser crystals. The building molecules, crystal growth methods, as well as their stimulated emission characteristics related with crystal structures are introduced; in addition, the current state‐of‐the‐art in the field of crystal laser devices is reviewed. Furthermore, recent advances of crystal lasers at the nanoscale and single crystal light‐emitting transistors (LETs) are presented. Finally, an outlook and personal view is provided on the further developments of laser crystals and their applications.

Two matrix algorithms for eigenmodes of a Bessel-Gauss resonator

A Bessel-Gauss resonator (BGR) was proposed to produce the Bessel Gauss beams. In this paper transverse profiles and their corresponding losses of the BGR are computed by use of the entire matrix formalism and the transfer matrix method, and the computation results from two algorithms are compared. The computation results show that for the BGR there is no inconsistence in the mode fields yielded by two methods, and the transfer matrix methods are more accurate in the mode losses than the entire matrix formalism, which lead to a believable conclusion that the BGR with a convex-spherical mirror easily produces the fundamental Bessel-Gauss mode of good quality.
