Characteristics of tunable micro-cavity based on one-dimensional photonic crystal doping KTP as defect layer

The tunable micro-cavity based on one-dimensional(1D) photonic crystal doped by KTP is designed.The optical transmission properties in the doped one-dimensional defect photonic crystals are analyzed using transfer matrix method(TMM).According to the electro-optic effect,the refractive index ellipsoid equation is established with the applied alternating current at both coordinate axes,and the characteristics of temperature-optics and modulation are studied.Numerical calculations and experimental results show that the tuning range is ～40 nm.     

Thermal distribution analysis of multi-core photonic crystal fiber laser

The thermal properties of photonic crystal fiber(PCF) laser with 18 circularly distributed cores are investigated by using full-vector finite element method(FEM).The results show that the 18-core PCF has a more effective thermal dispersion construction compared with the single core PCF and 19-core PCF.In addition,the temperature distribution of 18-core PCF laser with different thermal loads is simulated.The results show that the core temperature approaches the fiber drawing value of 1800 K approximately when the thermal load is above 80 W/m which corresponds to the pumping power of 600 W approximately,while the coating temperature approaches the damage value of about 550 K when the thermal load is above 15 W/m which corresponds to the pumping power of 110 W approximately.Therefore the fiber cooling is necessary to achieve power scaling.Compared with other different cooling systems,the copper cooling scheme is found to be an effective method to reduce the thermal effects.
