不对称级联结构光子晶体的透射特性

通过传输矩阵法理论,计算和研究不对称级联结构光子晶体的透射特性,结果表明:对于级联镜像对称结构光子晶体,透射谱的禁带中出现单条透射率为100%的透射峰,随着级联数目增大,单透射峰越来越精细并快速向长波方向移动,产生蓝移现象,但透射峰的透射率不变。对于不对称级联结构光子晶体,随着级联数目或级联周期不对称度增大,透射谱中单透射峰的透射率迅速下降,同时透射峰的位置随禁带缓慢向短波方向移动,产生红移现象;随着级联结构不对称度增大,透射谱中单透射峰的透射率缓慢下降,同时透射峰的位置快速向短波方向移动,产生红移现象。不对称级联结构光子晶体的透射特性,对光学滤波器、光学全反射镜和光学开关等器件的研究和设计有一定的指导价值。     

Two-dimensional photonic crystal Fabry-Perot resonators with lossydielectrics

Square and triangular lattice two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystals (PCs) composed of lossy dielectric rods in air were constructed with a microwave bandgap between 4-8 GHz. Fabry-Perot resonators of varying length were constructed from two of these PCs of adjustable thickness and reflectivity. The quality factor of cavity modes supported in the resonators was found to increase with increasing PC mirror thickness, but only to a point dictated by the lossiness of the dielectric rods. A 2-D periodic Green's function simulation was found to model the data accurately and quickly using physical parameters obtained in separate measurements. Simple rules are developed for designing optimal resonators in the presence of dielectric loss     

Ultra-fast all-optical encoder using photonic crystal-based ring resonators

Optical encoders are one of the important optical logic devices required in optical communications and optical signal processing. In this paper, we proposed a novel structure for designing an all-optical 4-to-2 optical encoder based on photonic crystals. For this purpose, four photonic crystal-based ring resonators were located between the input and output ports which results in improved coupling efficiencies between input and output waveguide and reduced cross-reflection between the input ports. The central wavelength of the photonic crystal-based ring resonators is 1555 nm. However, due to its wide bandwidth the proposed structure can be used for a wide range of optical waves. In the proposed structure, the delay time and the ON/OFF contrast ratio are 1.8 ps and 9.2 dB, respectively. The other advantages of the proposed structure is that we did not use nonlinear materials in designing the proposed structure, so there is no need for high amount of optical intensities.

Three-port circulators with low symmetry based on photonic crystals and magneto-optical resonators

Three-port circulators based on magneto-optical resonators in 2D photonic crystals with low symmetry are investigated. We consider different geometries of the circulators in photonic crystals with triangular and square unit cells. All of the three-ports possess only one specific element of symmetry named antiplane of symmetry. The theoretical part of our paper concerns scattering matrix analysis for different regimes of circulation. In particular, we define the scattering matrices of ideal circulator and a special type of conditions which allow one to transform the non-reciprocal three-port in ideal circulator. One case of non-ideal circulators is considered as well. We also discuss some peculiarities of a special regime of the circulators when they are used as isolators. Finally, one example of the circulator simulations with calculated frequency responses in photonic crystals based on triangular unit cells is presented.     

Optical transmission characteristics of fiber ring resonators

We present the results of an experimental investigation of the transfer characteristics of a fiber ring resonator for various values of the resonator finesse. In particular, we measure the spectral dependence of the intensity transmission and the induced phase shift in the undercoupled, critically coupled, and overcoupled regimes. We also demonstrate tunable optical (true time) group delay via a fiber ring resonator and show that a high finesse is unnecessary. Our laboratory results are in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions.

Compact eight-channel wavelength demultiplexer using modified photonic crystal ring resonators for CWDM applications

An eight-channel wavelength demultiplexer by cascading of ring resonators (RRs) in photonic crystal (PhC) structure is proposed in this paper. In designing of this demultiplexer, we used eight square-shaped PhC RRs with different refractive index (RI) of defect rods to generate a distinctive resonance wavelength. Each PhC RR has a specific resonance wavelength with tuning a variety of design parameters such as RI of a whole, defect and inner rods and radius of defect rods. In operating wavelength of λ₀?=?1497 nm, the transmission power and quality factor (Q) of single RR are discovered as 96% and 1000, respectively. The average power transmission, channel spacing, crosstalk and full width at half maximum are found by finite difference time domain method to be about 96?±?1%, 2.25 nm, ??35 dB and 1.5 nm, respectively. Simulation outcomes demonstrate that the designed demultiplexer has a proper operation. The footprint of the designed device is about?~?115 μm², which makes this device a promising for future photonic integrated circuits.

     

Higher order optical resonant filters based on coupled defect resonators in photonic crystals

In this paper, a general methodology for the design of higher order coupled resonator filters in photonic crystals (PCs) is presented. In the proposed approach, the coupling between resonators is treated as though it occurs through a waveguide with an arbitrary phase shift. The coupling through the waveguide is analyzed theoretically, based on the coupled-mode theory in time. The derived theoretical model suggests a way to extend an equivalent circuit approach, previously demonstrated with a certain value of a phase shift, to the higher order filter design with an arbitrary phase shift. The validity of the proposed approach is confirmed by the design of a third-order Chebyshev filter having a center frequency of 193.55 THz, a flat bandwidth of 50 GHz, and ripples of 0.3 dB in the passband. The characteristics of the designed filter are suitable for wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) optical communication systems with a 100-GHz channel spacing. The performance of the designed filter is numerically calculated using the two-dimensional (2-D) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method.
