Bragg微腔中非线性介质相位共轭波的增强效应

研究了由一维光子晶体构成的Bragg微腔（AB）^N（D）^2（BA）^N中三阶非线性光学介质（NLM）产生的相位共轭波的增强效应。当入射光波与Bragg腔模满足共振条件时,推导了其相位共轭波的增强因子。Bragg微腔中的三阶NLM产生的相位共轭波相对于该介质裸露时产生的相位共轭波具有明显增强,这主要是Bragg微腔对入射泵浦光产生了较大的共轭增强作用。理论分析和数值计算结果还表明,当入射光波与Bragg腔模满足共振条件且周期数N较大时,该结构可等效于由Bragg反射镜组成的Fabry-Perot（F-P）腔。     

一维光子晶体非线性微腔的缺陷模和双稳态

为了了解一维光子晶体布喇格非线性微腔产生的缺陷模和双稳态特性,采用数值模拟和理论分析相结合的方法,研究了缺陷层厚度变化和布喇格镜准周期性对缺陷模和双稳态的影响。研究结果表明,缺陷层厚度增大和折射率递增时,均可使缺陷模向低频方向移动,即布喇格腔共振模红移,因此,只要较小的入射光强就可使腔共振模红移到入射光模而产生阈值较低的双稳态,数值计算与理论分析是一致的。这对光子晶体微腔的设计有一定的意义。     

非线性微腔的光学双稳态

基于F-P腔理论,通过引入有效折射率概念,研究了非线性微腔的光学双稳态,给出了相应的解析表达式。理论曲线与其它文献的数值模拟结果相吻合。研究表明,系统要产生双稳态现象,必须对入射光预置一定的偏移量。若介质是聚焦型Kerr介质,入射光波必须红移;反之则蓝移。临界的偏移量是腔共振模线宽的0.866倍。     

Effect of oblique incidence on bistability of nonlinear microcavity

Based on the nonlinear medium transfer theory, optical bistability of nonlinear microcavity is investigated at oblique incidence. It is found that the critical frequency of incident light inducing bistability phenomenon is related to the polarization and incident angle. The critical frequency increases with the incident angle. Increasing the incident angle can make bistability happen easier for focusing Kerr medium, but will hinder bistability for defocusing Kerr medium. The bistability switch threshold of TE mode is significantly lower than that of TM mode at a large incident angle.

Generation of optical phase-conjugate waves and compensation forpulse shape distortion in a single-mode fiber

The generation of optical phase-conjugate waves and the application of optical phase conjugation (OPC) to optical communication systems is described. The method of pulse shape distortion compensation by OPC is outlined including distortion due to both fiber dispersion and the optical Kerr effect. The generation of a forward-going phase-conjugate wave in a third-order nonlinear medium is discussed and that by a nondegenerate forward four-wave mixing in a zero-dispersion single-mode fiber (SMF) is investigated. Suppressing the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) of a pump wave in the fiber prevents saturation of the generation efficiency of the phase-conjugate wave even when the pump power exceeds the SBS threshold. In transmission experiments through a 200-km standard SMF with a 16-Gb/s intensity-modulated signal and a 5-Gb/s continuous-phase FSK (CPFSK) modulated signal, it is shown the applicability of OPC is modulation independent and that OPC effectively compensates for both chromatic dispersion and the optical Kerr effect     

Microcavity-enhanced surface-emitted second-harmonic generation forultrafast all-optical signal processing

By incorporating an integrated microcavity into an optical waveguide structure with vertical quasi-phase-matching, we have realized surface-emitted second-harmonic generation devices that significantly enhance the conversion efficiency for optical pulses in the picosecond and sub-picosecond regimes. We demonstrate both theoretically and experimentally that nonlinear interactions involving short optical pulses can be enhanced by a microcavity, even when the resonance width is substantially narrower than the spectral content of the pulse. The resulting enhancement enables practical signal processing functions such as ultrafast optical time-division demultiplexing at 1.55 μm in multilayer AlGaAs structures

Optical properties of a total-reflection-type one-dimensionalphotonic crystal

We produced an asymmetric Fabry-Perot microcavity using total reflection, and its optical properties were investigated. The structure is considered to be a total-reflection-type 1-D photonic crystal. An electric-field enhancement of incident light in a defect layer installed inside the photonic crystal was observed by fluorescence emission from dye molecules doped into the defect layer division. We confirmed that the incident light intensity was strengthened by about 63 times in the defect layer     

Large‐Size Bulk and Thin‐Film Stilbazolium‐Salt Single Crystals for Nonlinear Optics and THz Generation

We present new stilbazolium salt DSTMS (4‐N,N‐dimethylamino‐4′‐N′‐methyl‐stilbazolium 2,4,6‐trimethylbenzenesulfonate) with both high second‐order nonlinear optical properties and very favorable crystal growth characteristics. We are able to obtain very large area bulk single crystals of more than 3 × 3 × 0.2 cm³ with a high optical quality without using seed crystals by using low‐temperature solution growth. We also demonstrate the growth of single crystalline thin films of DSTMS with an area of up to 6 × 5 mm² and a thickness between 5–30 μm. Nonlinear optical measurements reveal that DSTMS possesses large nonlinear optical susceptibilities with χ₁₁₁⁽²⁾ = (430 ± 40) pm V^–1 at 1.9 μm. Highly efficient generation of broadband THz waves with THz electric field strengths of more than 4 kV cm^–1 using 160 fs laser pump pulses at a wavelength λ = 1.45 μm and DSTMS crystals has been demonstrated.     

Mode competition in Bragg resonator cyclotron resonance maser experiments driven by a microsecond,intense electron beam accelerator

We report an experimental study on mode competition in a high-g Bragg resonator cyclotron resonance maser (CRM) employing a microsecond, relativistic electron beam. The high quality annular electron beam of 20-80 A was produced through an apertured mask-anode. The high-Q Bragg resonator was designed to excite the TE₃₁, mode CARM oscillation at 18-9GHz. Two configurations of Bragg resonators were used; with ripples half inward and with ripples fully outward with respect to a smooth tubular centre section. Bragg resonator microwave emission was compared to radiation emitted when the electron beam interacted with smooth tubes with the same diameter as the Bragg resonator centre sections. In the present Bragg resonator CRM experiments, three parasitic oscillations were the most serious competing modes, apparently suppressing the TE31 CARM oscillation: TE₂₁, absolute instability, TE₁₁ gyro-BWO, second and third harmonic TE₅₁, mode. When a high current annular beam of 150-200 A was injected into the Bragg resonator, we observed the TE₂₁ absolute instability at B≥6-9kG, and a TE₁₁ gyro-BWO interaction at B≤5-2kG. Experimental evidence on the modes of the absolute instabilities were provided by gas breakdown patterns in fluorescent light tubes and frequency measurements.     

An (AlGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs)<Subscript>60</Subscript> resonant Bragg structure based on the second quantum-confinement level of heavy-hole excitons in quantum wells

Photoluminescence and optical-reflection spectra of a periodic structure consisting of 60 tunneling-isolated GaAs quantum wells separated by AlGaAs barriers are studied. The structure is designed so that, for a certain angle of incidence (∼23°), the Bragg resonance condition is satisfied for light with a photon energy equal to the energy of heavy-hole excitons at the second quantum-confinement level in the wells. It is established experimentally that, under the conditions of double exciton-polariton and Bragg resonance, a superradiant optical mode is formed. Dependences of Bragg and exciton-polariton reflection on the angle of incidence and polarization of light and the temperature are investigated.

Multistate Tuning of Third Harmonic Generation in Fano-Resonant Hybrid Dielectric Metasurfaces

Hybrid dielectric metasurfaces have emerged as a promising approach to enhancing near field confinement and thus high optical nonlinearity by utilizing low loss dielectric rather than relatively high loss metallic resonators. A wider range of applications can be realized if more design dimensions can be provided from material and fabrication perspectives to allow dynamic control of light. Here, tunable third harmonic generation (THG) via hybrid metasurfaces with phase change material Ge₂Sb₂Te₅ (GST) deposited on top of amorphous silicon metasurfaces is demonstrated. Fano resonance is excited to confine the incident light inside the hybrid metasurfaces, and an experimental quality factor (Q-factor ≈ 125) is achieved at the fundamental pump wavelength around 1210 nm. Not only the switching between a turn-on state of Fano resonance in the amorphous state of GST and a turn-off state in its crystalline state are demonstrated, but also gradual multistate tuning of THG emission at its intermediate states. A high THG conversion efficiency of η = 2.9 × 10⁻⁶% is achieved, which is 32 times more than that of a GST-based Fabry–Pèrot cavity under a similar pump laser power. Experimental results show the potential of exploring GST-based hybrid dielectric metasurfaces for tunable nonlinear optical devices.     

Transmission Characteristics of Hybrid Modes in Corrugated Waveguides Above the Bragg Frequency

We studied the transmission characteristics of hybrid modes in a corrugated circular waveguide above the Bragg frequency to develop a broad-band transmission line for millimeter waves. Millimeter waves at 294 GHz were transmitted into a straight waveguide. From observed power profiles in waveguide cross-sections, a high attenuation rate of 0.13 dB/m was obtained. To match a theoretical attenuation constant with the experimental one, we introduced an ad hoc coefficient of conventional surface reactance in the waveguide wall. This was necessary because the wall began to look like the surface with a decreasing anisotropic reactance owing to the frequency above the Bragg frequency. Using nonlinear optimization for mode content analysis, the observed power profiles in the waveguide cross-section were matched with theoretical profiles. There was good agreement between the calculated and observed centers of power profiles and attenuation rate along the waveguide. The theoretical analysis showed that the magnetic field at the waveguide wall increases and the substantial attenuation takes place. Above the Bragg frequency coupling to backwards propagating modes is a point of consideration. A combination of the backwards propagating EH_1,26 and the forward propagating HE₁₁ modes satisfied the Bragg condition at 294.7 GHz which was the nearest frequency of operating frequency. A strong attenuation of the incoming HE₁₁ mode by Bragg resonance was not expected due to large difference of 0.7 GHz. It becomes clear that the observed high transmission loss outside of the Bragg resonance can be explained by a decrease in anisotropic surface reactance at the wall.     

Efficient Second Harmonic Generation Through Selective Photonic Crystal-Microcavity Coupling

In this paper, a new 2-D frequency converter based on second harmonic generation (SHG) in GaAs photonic crystal waveguides is proposed. The input waveguide, where the second order nonlinear process takes place, is coupled to a secondary waveguide that is designed to allow only SH propagation. A row of photonic crystal microcavity resonators is then placed parallel to the waveguides in order to assist the field coupling. By tuning the resonance of the microcavities at second harmonic wave, the waveguides-microcavities arrangement showed good enhancement of conversion efficiency and selectivity. The performance of the proposed frequency converter has been analyzed by using multiresolution time domain (MRTD) scheme developed for nonlinear problems in conjunction with uniaxial perfectly matched layer (UPML) boundary conditions that rigorously truncate the computational window.

Steady-state and transient characteristics of microcavitysurface-emitting lasers with compressively strained quantum-well activeregions

In conventional semiconductor lasers, the dimensions of the optical cavity greatly exceed the photon wavelength, and the photon density of states forms a continuum since it is essentially that of a bulk system. On the other hand, in an ideal laser, one would like to have a single optical mode coincident with the maximum in the gain spectrum of the active medium. We show that substantial density-of-states quantization and enhancement of the fraction of photons spontaneously emitted into the lasing mode can be obtained by reducing the lateral width of the surface-emitting laser. For emission at λ=0.954 μm, the threshold current density can be drastically reduced by increasing the coupling factor to a few percent. For a cavity structure width of 0.3 μm, the threshold current density is 50 A/cm², compared with 250 A/cm² for the 0.6-μm cavity. At lower still lateral widths, the cavity loses its vertical character, and confinement of the lateral optical mode rapidly deteriorates. The large-signal response of microcavity lasers is slightly improved primarily due to elimination of mode competition in intrinsically single-mode microcavities, with relaxation times close to 1 ns. The enhancement of the spontaneous emission coupling factor results in an increase of the relaxation oscillation frequency and improvement in the standard small-signal response of microcavity lasers. For J=10J_th, the -3 dB modulation frequency exceeds 40 GHz. Since low threshold current densities may be achieved in microcavity lasers, the gains in small-signal performance are primarily extrinsic, i.e., higher modulation bandwidths ace accessible for the same injection
