可见光区一维光子晶体纳米膜偏振带通滤波器的设计

应用一维时域有限差分方法研究各种条件下一维二元光子晶体的偏振带通滤波特性,具体数值分析了掺杂层位置、厚度、电磁参数、入射角度四种因素对偏振滤波特性的影响.数值结果表明传统意义上的光学多层膜是一维二元光子晶体在光学厚度满足四分之一波长时的特例;可见光区的偏振滤波器的窄带滤波特性与掺杂层的位置有关,掺杂层在整个膜中间位置时偏振分离效果好,掺杂层的厚度与周期层厚度相差越大则分离效果越好,两组元折射率相差越大越易形成禁带,入射角越大禁带越窄,偏振的分离度越好.特别是P偏振局域模更多;在线度参数相同的情况下介质电磁参数对禁带有较大影响,禁带只有在两组元折射率相差越大才能形成,介质损耗同样是不可忽略的因素;光源的入射角对禁带有重大影响.本文的研究对光子器件的设计有一定的指导作用.

精确的一维光子晶体的带隙

半导体材料的折射率是光频率的函数,所以在计算光子晶体的能带结构时必须考虑到色散关系。光子晶体存在光子禁带在反射谱上表现为高反射率带。本文已GaAs基材料为例,利用传输矩阵方法计算了考虑色散后的一维光子晶体的反射谱,计算结果表明考虑色散后的光子晶体禁带的宽度较不考虑色散关系的光子晶体的带隙要窄,如果光子晶体中存在缺陷则考虑色散后的光子晶体缺陷态的位置较不考虑色散关系时红移,且光子损耗较小。

Optics of photonic nanojets

The detailed optics of photonic nanojets generated by normal plane-wave incidence on dielectric cylinders is discussed. These nanojets have a subwavelength beam waist and propagate with little divergence for several wavelengths. A physical explanation for this peculiar behavior is presented. Characteristic dimensions of the nanojets for a large range of physical parameters are calculated.     

Biomimetics of photonic nanostructures

Biomimetics is the extraction of good design from nature. One approach to optical biomimetics focuses on the use of conventional engineering methods to make direct analogues of the reflectors and anti-reflectors found in nature. However, recent collaborations between biologists, physicists, engineers, chemists and materials scientists have ventured beyond experiments that merely mimic what happens in nature, leading to a thriving new area of research involving biomimetics through cell culture. In this new approach, the nanoengineering efficiency of living cells is harnessed and natural organisms such as diatoms and viruses are used to make nanostructures that could have commercial applications.     

Reconfigurable photonic metamaterials

We introduce mechanically reconfigurable photonic metamaterials (RPMs) as a flexible platform for realizing metamaterial devices with reversible and large-range tunable characteristics in the optical part of the spectrum. Here we illustrate this concept for a temperature-driven RPM exhibiting reversible relative transmission changes of up to 50%.     

Near-field photonic forces

A review of recent advancements in photonic forces is presented. We discuss in detail the interaction of light and sub-wavelength particles on a substrate illuminated by total internal reflection, and we study the optical forces experienced by the particles. The effects of plasmon-mode excitations on the resulting photonic forces on metallic particles are also addressed. Moreover, we explore the possibility of using the metallic tip of a classical apertureless microscope to create optical tweezers, and thus to achieve a selective manipulation of nanoparticles.     

Natural photonic engineers

The structural colors of animals have provided an attractive means of advertisement for those reflectors designed and manufactured by humans. Over the past 30 years, optics well-known to the physicist have been emerging, example after example, in nature. But suddenly animals are becoming the first stage in the optical design process. Biologists and physicists have begun serious optics-based projects where results will be supplied by evolution. But it is the recent finding of photonic crystals in animals that has really triggered a surge in interest. Animals, it would seem, have plenty to teach us, not only in terms of the design of their optical structures, but also in their engineering.At a recent car show in Sydney, the demonstration of a new four-wheel-drive revealed a novel type of paint as well. The vehicle appeared blue from the front…but changed entirely to green when viewed from behind! The manufacturers had replaced pigments with ‘structural colors’. The secret behind this coating lies in its self-positioning reflector. Small fragments of thin-films, which cause colored reflections, are mixed within a matrix of transparent paint. When the paint is applied, the thin-films float to the surface so that all are orientated similarly, parallel with the car body, and reflect the same wavelength of light in each direction. As the direction of observation changes, different wavelengths are observed. These thin-film particles are, essentially, butterfly scale analogues.     

Biomimetically-inspired photonic nanomaterials

Nature has been kind enough to provide us with a 3-billion year old portfolio of an on-going experiment with living systems. There are well-optimised engineering solutions to mechanical, aerodynamic, hydrodynamic and optical problems all to be found in the living world Bar-Cohen (Bioinspir Biomim 1:P1–P12, 2006), Bhusan (Phil Trans Roy Soc A 367: 1445–1486, 2009). However, Nature is severely limited in the materials that are at its disposal so that as engineers we can improve on Nature’s solutions to particular problems by taking Nature’s design template as a starting point and then incorporating our own more appropriate materials, or metamaterials into that template design. We can also use Nature’s solutions as a starting point in our own “evolutionary algorithms” by taking Nature’s 3-billion year old solution as our initial starting point and then extrapolating that solution to (effectively) thousands of billions of years into the future using digital computers. This review article will consider just one particular application area of biomimetics—photonic nanomaterials Vukusic (Natural Photonics. Physics World pp. 35–39, 2004).     

Diamond-structured photonic crystals

Certain periodic dielectric structures can prohibit the propagation of light for all directions within a frequency range. These 'photonic crystals' allow researchers to modify the interaction between electromagnetic fields and dielectric media from radio to optical wavelengths. Their technological potential, such as the inhibition of spontaneous emission, enhancement of semiconductor lasers, and integration and miniaturization of optical components, makes the search for an easy-to-craft photonic crystal with a large bandgap a major field of study. This progress article surveys a collection of robust complete three-dimensional dielectric photonic-bandgap structures for the visible and near-infrared regimes based on the diamond morphology together with their specific fabrication techniques. The basic origin of the complete photonic bandgap for the 'champion' diamond morphology is described in terms of dielectric modulations along principal directions. Progress in three-dimensional interference lithography for fabrication of near-champion diamond-based structures is also discussed.     

Full photonic band gap properties of plasma photonic crystals with triangular structure

In this study, we analyse full photonic band gap (PBG) properties of two-dimensional plasma photonic crystals (PCs) with triangular lattice, composed of anisotropic tellurium rods with different geometrical shapes immersed in plasma background. Using the finite-difference time-domain method, we discuss the maximization of the full PBG width as a function of tellurium rods parameters with different shapes and orientations. The numerical results show that our proposed structures represent significant large full PBGs in comparison to previously studied plasma PCs.
