Hybrid single-nanowire photonic crystal and microresonator structures

We report a hybrid approach for photonic systems that combines chemically synthesized single nanowire emitters with lithographically defined photonic crystal and racetrack microresonator structures. Finite-difference time-domain calculations were used to design nanowire photonic crystal structures where the photonic band gap overlaps the electronic band gap of the nanowire. Photoluminescence (PL) images of cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanowire photonic crystal structures designed in this way demonstrate localized emission from engineered defects and light suppression in regions of the photonic crystal. PL spectroscopy studies of defect-free nanowire photonic crystal structures further demonstrate the photonic band gap or stop band that spans most of the CdS band edge emission spectrum. In addition, single CdS nanowire-racetrack microresonator structures were fabricated, and PL imaging and spectroscopy measurements show good coupling of the nanowire to the microcavity including efficient feedback and amplified spontaneous emission. These hybrid structures exploit unique strengths of bottom-up and top-down approaches and thereby open new opportunities in nanophotonics from efficient and localized light sources to integrated optical processing.     

Thermal properties and two-dimensional photonic band gaps

The effect of temperature on a two-dimensional square lattice photonic crystal composed of Si rods arranged in an air background was investigated theoretically using the plane-wave expansion method. Both the thermal expansion effect and thermo-optical effect are considered simultaneously. We have discussed the role of temperature in creating the complete photonic band gap as a function of temperature. Two different shapes of rods, i.e. square and circular, are considered in the presence of the two polarization states, i.e. TE and TM waves. The numerical results show that the photonic band gap can be significantly enlarged compared to the photonic band gap at room temperature. The effect of temperature on the complete photonic band width in the cylindrical rods case is more significant. Cylindrical and square Si rods may work as a temperature sensor or filter, among many other potential applications.     

A simple perturbative tool to calculate plasmonic photonic bandstructures

We use first order perturbation theory to study the effect of surface plasmon polaritons on the photonic band structure of plasmonic photonic crystals. Our results are based on a simple numerical tool that we have developed to extend the standard frequency domain methods to compute the photonic band structure of plasmonic photonic crystals. For a two-dimensional honeycomb photonic crystal with a lattice constant of 500 nm placed on an aluminium substrate, we show that the band gap for TM modes is enhanced by 13%. Thus a slight variation in the effective dielectric function results in a plasmonic band structure that is not scale-invariant, which is reminiscent of the inherent non-linear properties of the effective dielectric constant.

Optical properties of graphene based annular photonic crystals

The optical properties of a graphene based annular photonic crystal (APC) are theoretically investigated. The proposed structure is a hollow core cylindrical shell consists of the alternate dielectric layer and graphene monolayer immersed in free space. In order to study the photonic band structures of the APC, we obtained the optical spectra of the graphene based APC by employing the transfer matrix method in the cylindrical waves for both TE and TM polarizations. In this work we study the effect of different geometrical and optical parameters of the structure on the low loss high reflectance graphene induced band gap. It is found that the graphene induced band gap which appeared in the frequency below 10 THz is polarization independent and remains almost invariant with the change in the period number, the radius of the inner core region and the refractive indices of the inner core region and the surrounding medium. However, its width increases by increasing the azimuthal mode number and the chemical potential of the graphene monolayers and decreases by increasing the refractive index and the thickness of the dielectric layers.     

Evolution of complete photonic band gap in anisotropic photonic quasicrystals using liquid crystals

Abstract

In this study, we analyse the evolution of complete photonic band gap in two-dimensional photonic structures by arranging the 12-fold symmetric quasicrystalline unit cells on square and triangular lattices. The unit cells composed of circular air holes in anisotropic tellurium background and the air holes are infiltrated with liquid crystal. Using the supercell method based on plane wave expansion, we study the variation of complete band gap by changing the optical axis orientation of liquid crystals.     

Polarization-dependent angle filters based on one-dimensional photonic crystals using mu-negative materials

We study transmission properties of one-dimensional photonic crystals consisting of mu-negative and positive index materials by using transfer matrix methods. The results show that transmission properties of the transverse electric waves depend on permittivity (?), while transmission properties of the transverse magnetic waves depend on permeability (μ); there exists a transmission band inside the single-negative gap in this periodic structure without defects, and the transmission band is insensitive to the incident angle for the transverse electric waves but sensitive for the transverse magnetic waves. This property can be used to make polarization-dependent angle filters.     

Optical properties of three-dimensional P(St-MAA) photonic crystals on polyester fabrics

The three-dimensional (3D) photonic crystals with face-centered cubic (fcc) structure was fabricated on polyester fabrics, a kind of soft textile materials quite different from the conventional solid substrates, by gravitational sedimentation self-assembly of monodisperse P(St-MAA) colloidal microspheres. The optical properties of structural colors on polyester fabrics were investigated and the position of photonic band gap was characterized. The results showed that the color-tuning ways of the structural colors from photonic crystals were in accordance with Bragg’s law and could be modulated by the size of P(St-MAA) colloidal microspheres and the viewing angles. The L¹a¹b¹ values of the structural colors generated from the assembled polyester fabrics were in agreement with their reflectance spectra. The photonic band gap position of photonic crystals on polyester fabrics could be consistently confirmed by reflectance and transmittance spectra.     

Genetic optimization of two-dimensional photonic crystals for large absolute band gaps under light line

A binary genetic algorithm with floating crossover and mutation probabilities is used to design two-dimensional photonic crystals for large absolute band gaps under a light line. The unit cell is composed of a small number of round rods and is arranged in a square lattice. The photonic band structure of each chromosome is calculated by the plane-wave expansion method. Starting from randomly generated photonic crystals, the genetic algorithm finally yielded a photonic crystal with an absolute common band gap of 0.0618(2πc/a) at the mid-frequency of 0.4084(2πc/a).
