Room temperature lasing from optically pumped single defects in a two-dimensional (2-D) photonic bandgap (PBG) crystal is demonstrated. The high-Q optical microcavities are formed by etching a triangular array of air holes into a half-wavelength thick multiquantum-well waveguide. Defects in the 2-D photonic crystal are used to support highly localized optical modes with volumes ranging from 2 to 3 (λ/2n)3. Lithographic tuning of the air hole radius and the lattice spacing are used to match the cavity wavelength to the quantum-well gain peak, as well as to increase the cavity Q. The defect lasers were pumped with 10-30 ns pulses of 0.4-1% duty cycle. The threshold pump power was 1.5 mW (≈500 μW absorbed) 相似文献

Periodic bandgap and effective dielectric materials in electromagnetics: characterization and applications in nanocavities and waveguides 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The main objectives of this paper are to characterize and develop insight into the performance of photonic bandgap (PBG) periodic dielectric materials and to integrate the results into some novel applications. A powerful computational engine utilizing the finite-difference time-domain technique with periodic boundary conditions/perfectly matched layers integrated with Prony's method is applied to provide an in-depth look at the physics of PBG/periodic bandgap structures. Next, the results are incorporated into two classes of applications in the areas of nanocavity lasers and guidance of electromagnetic (EM) waves in sharp bends. A two-dimensional PBG structure with finite thickness is presented to strongly localize the EM waves in three directions and design a high-Q nanocavity laser. It is shown that the periodic PBG/total internal reflections remarkably trap the EM waves inside the defect region. The effect of the number of periodic cells and defect's dielectric constant on the Q of structure is investigated. It has been found that a seven-layer PBG with a dielectric impurity defect can be used in the design of a laser with a Q as high as 1050. Additionally, potential applications of the PBG structures for guiding the EM waves in sharp bends, namely, 90/spl deg/ and 60/spl deg/ channels are demonstrated. It is shown that shaping the bend by introducing small holes can noticeably improve the guidance of the waves at the bends and channel the EM waves with great efficiency. A comparative study between PBG and effective dielectric materials in controlling the EM waves is also provided and it is observed that the novel characteristics of the PBG cannot be modeled using the effective material for the frequencies within the bandgap. 相似文献

This paper presents a novel photonic bandgap (PBG) structure for microwave integrated circuits. This new PBG structure is a two-dimensional square lattice with each element consisting of a metal pad and four connecting branches. Experimental results of a microstrip on a substrate with the PEG ground plane displays a broad stopband, as predicted by finite-difference time-domain simulations. Due to the slow-wave effect generated by this unique structure, the period of the PBG lattice is only 0.1λ0 at the cutoff frequency, resulting in the most compact PEG lattice ever achieved. In the passband, the measured slow-wave factor (β/k0) is 1.2-2.4 times higher and insertion loss is at the same level compared to a conventional 50-Ω line. This uniplanar compact PBG (UC-PBG) structure can be built using standard planar fabrication techniques without any modification. Several application examples have also been demonstrated, including a nonleaky conductor-backed coplanar waveguide and a compact spurious-free bandpass filter. This UC-PBG structure should find wide applications for high-performance and compact circuit components in microwave and millimeter-wave integrated circuits 相似文献

A substrate that is designed to suppress parasitic modes while at the same time provides high-Q filtering capability is presented. High-density circuits require the integration of multiple functions in very limited space. More specifically, with the design of three-dimensional (3-D) circuits, parasitic effects caused by the excitation of surface waves result in a serious degradation of performance and impose limitations on circuit density and performance. Herein, an effort is presented to use advanced design concepts to enable embedded functionality within a substrate. The presented substrate geometries can easily be extended to 3-D to allow for the development of system-in-a-package which incorporates a high-Q filter bank to provide effective frequency selectivity. To demonstrate this concept, resonators and filters in LTCC are designed, fabricated and measured. Resonators in LTCC with unloaded Q up to 428 were measured. A narrow-band 2-pole filter is realized to show that a function of a relatively high-Q can be incorporated into the packaging. The 2.28% filter has an insertion loss of 1.7 dB due to the low loss nature of the design. Simulation and measurement of the structures are presented with good agreement achieved. 相似文献

A class of novel millimetric uniplanar series resonators are presented, which can be used in monolithic and hybrid uniplanar microwave integrated circuits (MIC's). The proposed structures are able to demonstrate low radiation and compactness characteristics, which are attractive for passive and active monolithic and hybrid integrated circuits. A principle of achieving these high-quality circuits is described and also confirmed by experimental and theoretical results, which are in good agreement up to 50 GHz. To illustrate the features of the proposed series resonators and demonstrate their effectiveness, two classes of miniature coplanar waveguide (CPW) filters (namely, low-pass and bandpass) are designed using these resonators. The developed low-pass filter has some important advantages such as low insertion loss in passband, very wide stopband, high cutoff rates, small size, low number of elements, and an effective control of spurious signals. On the other hand, the newly developed bandpass filter provides an alternative, yet compact, structure to classical filters. Obviously, many other classes of filters or passive components can also be designed 相似文献

The one-dimensional (1-D) periodic electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structure for the finite-width conductor-backed coplanar waveguide (FW-CBCPW) is proposed. Unlike the conventional EBG structures for the microstrip line and the coplanar waveguide (CPW), which are typically placed on one of the signal strips and the ground plane, this EBG cell is etched on both the signal strip and the upper ground plane of FW-CBCPW resulting in a novel circuit element. The equivalent circuit is also used to model the EBG cell. Measured and full-wave simulated results show that the cell exhibits remarkable stopband effect. The low-pass filter with lower cutoff frequency and wider rejection bandwidth is constructed from a serial connection of the EBG cells. The effect of back metallization on the guiding characteristic is also discussed. Compared to the published EBG cells, the proposed structure has the advantages of relative flexibility, higher compactness, lower radiation loss, and easier integration with the uniplanar circuits 相似文献

A laser-based layer-by-layer additive process, stereolithography, is used to create truly three-dimensional (3-D) structures for high-frequency applications. High aspect-ratio complicated 3-D structures embedded inside of a layer-by-layer package are created by this process. Previously, Q's greater than 3000 and tolerances of /spl sim/0.19% have been achieved for embedded resonators. In this paper, more applications are demonstrated. Particular examples include the integration of a nonplanar monopole antenna coupled to a high-Q embedded cavity with only 0.26% shift in resonant frequency (19.37 GHz) and a slight 0.06% reduction in bandwidth compared to simulation. Stacked cavities and coupling sections within a substrate are also demonstrated to create vertically integrated filters. For 2% bandwidth two-pole filters, insertion losses as small as 0.27 dB are measured. Furthermore, a vertically integrated 1.2% four-pole filter is demonstrated with acceptable performance without tuning after fabrication. These applications illustrate that the laser-based stereolithography process is suitable for the integration of high-frequency and high-Q 3-D structures within a package. 相似文献

Circuit size may be reduced by up to 60% by embedding series and shunt uniplanar stubs inside the main uniplanar line since this reuses physical space in the longitudinal direction. This size-efficient stub loading of the main uniplanar line results in robust options for designing compact K-band 90/spl deg/ hybrid couplers and Wilkinson dividers. The approach is confirmed by experimental results that agree well with theory up to at least 30 GHz using both coplanar waveguide (CPW) and asymmetric coplanar stripline (ACPS). Furthermore, these couplers and dividers do not use lumped inductors or capacitors and, consequently, have excellent design accuracy even at millimeter-wave frequencies. Additionally, it is shown that it is possible to design an ACPS 90/spl deg/ branch-line coupler without the conventional CPW quarter wavelength transformers used to match the input and output port characteristic impedances. 相似文献

A uniplanar microstrip antenna, finding application in monopulse radars, is proposed. Two series-fed slot arrays are fed by a coplanar waveguide transmission line excited either in its coplanar mode, or coupled slot line mode, which provide the difference (Δ) and sum (Δ) patterns, respectively 相似文献

Experimental results for a sixth-order switched-capacitor bandpass filter with a selectivity Q of 55 at a center frequency of 3.1 MHz are presented. A simple noise analysis of active bandpass filters composed of coupled identical resonators is introduced to explain the dynamic range reduction in high-Q active filters resulting from loose high-Q couplings between resonators. Theoretical predictions of noise in coupled resonator-type bandpass filters agree well with measured results. The prototype chip occupies 2 mm/SUP 2/ and dissipates 45 mW with a single 5-V supply. 相似文献

High-Q microwave acoustic resonators and filters 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The authors present recent experimental and modeling results for high-Q microwave acoustic resonators and filters for use in oscillators and other frequency control applications. Overmoded resonators have exhibited an FQ product greater than 1×1014 Hz (e.g., Q=68,000 at 1.6 GHz) with a strong inductive response suitable for one-port and two-port oscillator feedback circuits. Ladder filters fabricated with overmoded resonators have loaded Qs greater than 40,000 with 76-kHz bandwidth at 1.6 GHz. Aluminum nitride films were used for transduction on Z-cut sapphire and lithium niobate substrates 相似文献

An integrated CMOS micromechanical resonator high-Q oscillator 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A completely monolithic high-Q oscillator, fabricated via a combined CMOS plus surface micromachining technology, is described, for which the oscillation frequency is controlled by a polysilicon micromechanical resonator with the intent of achieving high stability. The operation and performance of micromechanical resonators are modeled, with emphasis on circuit and noise modeling of multiport resonators. A series resonant oscillator design is discussed that utilizes a unique, gain-controllable transresistance sustaining amplifier. We show that in the absence of an automatic level control loop, the closed-loop, steady-state oscillation amplitude of this oscillator depends strongly upon the dc-bias voltage applied to the capacitively driven and sensed μresonator. Although the high-Q of the micromechanical resonator does contribute to improved oscillator stability, its limited power-handling ability outweighs the Q benefits and prevents this oscillator from achieving the high short-term stability normally expected of high-Q oscillators 相似文献

This paper presents coplanar stripline (CPS) resonators and their practical implementations to filters. Five types of CPS resonator are built using open and short-ended strips. Lumped-element equivalent circuits are presented for each resonator. Their performances are investigated and compared in terms of Q factor or bandwidth. Two types of bandpass filter are developed with the resonators. The bandpass filters have low-passband insertion losses and wide-stopband suppression bandwidths. Lumped-element equivalent circuits are presented for the bandpass filters. A wide-band CPS-to-microstrip transition is developed for the measurements. The back-to-back transition has an insertion loss of less than 3 dB and a return loss of better than 10 dB for the frequency range from 1.3 to 13.3 GHz (1:10.2) 相似文献

Slow-wave structures on GaAs semi-insulating substrate, obtained by periodically loading a coplanar line with high-Q overlap capacitors, are described. They operate up to X-band, reducing significantly the signal phase velocity by a factor nearly independent of the frequency. Owing to their low transmission losses, they are particularly suitable for monolithic GaAs f.e.t. circuits. 相似文献

This paper presents a new technique to design high-Q active resonators. The active resonators are then used in the design of low phase-noise oscillators. The proposed new technique uses an amplifier to generate a negative resistance, which compensates for the resonator losses and increases the Q factor. The active resonator using this technique shows a high loaded Q factor of 548.62 from measurement at the fixed 10-GHz resonant frequency. Considerations to design a voltage tunable active resonator is given and measurements show that the loaded Q factors exceed 500 with a 120-MHz tuning range. A low phase-noise free-running and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) were designed as an application of the proposed active resonators. The phase noise of the free-running oscillator using the active resonator is -114.36 dBc/Hz at 100-kHz offset, which is 14 dB lower than the phase noise of the passive resonator oscillator. In the case of a VCO using the active resonator, the phase-noise performance is below -110 dBc/Hz over the whole tuning range, which is lower 13 dB compared to the passive resonator VCO. The total dc power consumptions are approximately 500 mW. 相似文献

A novel uniplanar 2-D composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) structure is proposed based on a general transmission line theory and the way to increase the relative operating bandwidth in the left-handed (LH) region and lower the LH operating frequency is illustrated. In addition, a new method to extract parameters and calculate the Bloch impedance of the structure is presented. Numerical results of the dispersion as well as the extracted parameters are given, which are calculated based on full-wave simulation. The present 2-D uniplanar CRLH-TL structure is applicable to 2-D left-handed materials in lower and wider LH frequency range. 相似文献

Coupling from tapered fibers and polished half-block couplers into the high-Q whispering gallery modes of microsphere resonators is investigated analytically. Numerous formulas are derived to predict the external coupling Q values, and intrinsic whispering gallery loss, for arbitrary structures, and for any sphere mode. Phase-mismatch due to the differences in propagation constants between input and sphere modes is taken into account. These formulas are strictly mechanical once a simple characteristic equation is solved which relates the spherical mode orders to the resonant wave vector. Results are in very good agreement with values that are calculated by different numerical methods 相似文献
