A Photonic crystal fiber with large effective refractive index separation and low dispersion.

ABSTRACT: A photonic crystal fiber (PCF) structure with a ring-core and 5 well-ordered semiellipse air-holes has been creatively proposed. Through a comparison between the structures with a high refractive index (RI) ring-core and the structure without, it conclude that a PCF with a high RI ring-core can work better. Schott SF57 was elected as the substrate material of ring-core. This paper compares the effects of long-axis and short-axis changes on the PCF and selects the optimal solution. Especially TE0,1 mode's dispersion is maintained between 0 and 3 ps / (nm · km) ranging from 1.45 ?m to 1.65 ?m. This property can be used to generate a supercontinuum with 200 ?m long zero dispersion wavelength (ZDM). In addition, ?neff reaches up to 10-3, which enables the near -degeneracy of the eigenmodes to be almost neglected. The proposed PCF structure will have great application value in the field of optical communications.

Two-Dimensional Layered Nanomaterial-Based One-Dimensional Photonic Crystal Refractive Index Sensor.

Project description:One-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPC) sensors have emerged as contenders for traditional surface plasmon resonance sensors, owing to their potential for the detection of bigger molecules and particles due to their higher interaction volume in the sensing medium. Two-dimensional layered nanomaterials, most notably graphene and dichalcogenides (e.g., MoS?, MoSe?, WS?, and WSe?), have shown higher refractive index sensitivity because of their absorption as well as adsorption property. The proposed configuration of 1DPC presented consists of alternate layers of the aforementioned nanomaterials and silicon. The performance parameters, namely the sensitivity, resolution, quality factor, and the evanescent field penetration depth, are calculated and compared with 1DPC having poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) in place of silicon. Increased shift in resonance angle and quality factor are observed by replacing PMMA with silicon, but at the cost of decreased resolution. Further, our results show that although the sensitivity and quality factor of the 1DPC sensor is less than that of the conventional surface plasmon resonance sensor (SPR) with a gold thin film, it has much higher resolution and penetration depth to make it suitable for large molecules.

Full Polarization Conical Dispersion and Zero-Refractive-Index in Two-Dimensional Photonic Hypercrystals.

Project description:Photonic conical dispersion has been found in either transverse magnetic or transverse electric polarization, and the predominant zero-refractive-index behavior in a two-dimensional photonic crystal is polarization-dependent. Here, we show that two-dimensional photonic hypercrystals can be designed that exhibit polarization independent conical dispersion at the Brillouin zone center, as two sets of triply-degenerate point for each polarization are accidentally at the same Dirac frequency. Such photonic hypercrystals consist of periodic dielectric cylinders embedded in elliptic metamaterials, and can be viewed as full-polarized near zero-refractive-index materials around Dirac frequency by using average eigen-field evaluation. Numerical simulations including directional emissions and invisibility cloak are employed to further demonstrate the double-zero-index characteristics for both polarizations in the photonic hypercrystals.

Spatial Resolution and Refractive Index Contrast of Resonant Photonic Crystal Surfaces for Biosensing.

Project description:By depositing a resolution test pattern on top of a Si3N4 photonic crystal resonant surface, we have measured the dependence of spatial resolution on refractive index contrast Δn. Our experimental results and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations at different refractive index contrasts show that the spatial resolution of our device reduces with reduced contrast, which is an important consideration in biosensing, where the contrast may be of order 10-2. We also compare 1-D and 2-D gratings, taking into account different incidence polarizations, leading to a better understanding of the excitation and propagation of the resonant modes in these structures, as well as how this contributes to the spatial resolution. At Δn = 0.077, we observe resolutions of 2 and 6 μm parallel to and perpendicular to the grooves of a 1-D grating, respectively, and show that for polarized illumination of a 2-D grating, resolution remains asymmetrical. Illumination of a 2-D grating at 45° results in symmetric resolution. At very low index contrast, the resolution worsens dramatically, particularly for Δn < 0.01, where we observe a resolution exceeding 10 μm for our device. In addition, we measure a reduction in the resonance linewidth as the index contrast becomes lower, corresponding to a longer resonant mode propagation length in the structure and contributing to the change in spatial resolution.

Photonic crystal and quasi-crystals providing simultaneous light coupling and beam splitting within a low refractive-index slab waveguide.

Project description:Coupling between free space components and slab waveguides is a common requirement for integrated optical devices, and is typically achieved by end-fire or grating coupling. Power splitting and distribution requires additional components. Usually grating couplers are used in combination with MMI/Y-splitters to do this task. In this paper, we present a photonic crystal device which performs both tasks simultaneously and is able to couple light at normal incidence and near normal incidence. Our approach is scalable to large channel counts with little impact on device footprint. We demonstrate in normal incidence coupling with multi-channel splitting for 785 nm light. Photonic crystals are etched into single mode low refractive index SiON film on both SiO2/Si and borosilicate glass substrate. Triangular lattices are shown to provide coupling to 6 beams with equal included angle (60°), while a quasi-crystal lattice with 12-fold rotational symmetry yields coupling to 12 beams with equal included angle (30°). We show how to optimize the lattice constant to achieve efficient phase matching between incident and coupled mode wave vectors, and how to adjust operating wavelength from visible to infrared wavelengths.

Topological supermodes in photonic crystal fiber.

Project description:Topological states enable robust transport within disorder-rich media through integer invariants inextricably tied to the transmission of light, sound, or electrons. However, the challenge remains to exploit topological protection in a length-scalable platform such as optical fiber. We demonstrate, through both modeling and experiment, optical fiber that hosts topological supermodes across multiple light-guiding cores. We directly measure the photonic winding number invariant characterizing the bulk and observe topological guidance of visible light over meter length scales. Furthermore, the mechanical flexibility of fiber allows us to reversibly reconfigure the topological state. As the fiber is bent, we find that the edge states first lose their localization and then become relocalized because of disorder. We envision fiber as a scalable platform to explore and exploit topological effects in photonic networks.

Investigation of beam splitter in a zero-refractive-index photonic crystal at the frequency of Dirac-like point.

Project description:The Dirac-like cone dispersion of the photonic crystal induced by the three-fold accidental degeneracy at the Brillouin center is calculated in this paper. Such photonic crystals can be mapped to zero-refractive-index materials at the vicinity of the Dirac-like point frequency, and utilized to construct beam splitter of high transmission efficiency. The splitting ratio is studied as a function of the position of the input/output waveguides. Furthermore, variant beam splitters with asymmetric structures, bulk defects, and some certain bending angles are numerically simulated. Finally, we show that 1 × 2 to 1 × N beam splitting can be realized with high transmission efficiency in such a zero-refractive-index photonic crystal at the frequency of Dirac-like point. The proposed structure could be a fundamental component of the high density photonic integrated circuit technique.

Refractive index measurement using single fiber reflectance spectroscopy.

Project description:A method using single fiber reflectance spectroscopy to measure the refractive indices of transparent and turbid media over a broad wavelength range is presented and tested. For transparent liquid samples, the accuracy is within 0.2%, and the accuracy increases with increasing wavelength. For liquid turbid media, the accuracy is within 0.3% and increases with decreasing wavelength. For solid turbid samples, such as human skin, the accuracy critically depends on the optical contact between the fiber and sample surface. It is demonstrated that this technique has the potential to measure refractive indices of biological tissue in vivo.

Interferometric measurements of refractive index and dispersion at high pressure.

Project description:We describe a high precision interferometer system to measure the pressure dependence of the refractive index and its dispersion in the diamond anvil cell (DAC). The reflective Fabry-Perot fringe patterns created by both a white light and a monochromatic beam are recorded to determine both the sample thickness and its index at the laser wavelength and to characterize the dispersion in the visible range. Advances in sample preparation, optical setup, and data analysis enable us to achieve [Formula: see text] random uncertainty, demonstrated with an air sample, a factor of five improvement over the best previous DAC measurement. New data on [Formula: see text] liquid water and ice VI up to 2.21 GPa at room temperature illustrate how higher precision measurements of the index and its optical dispersion open up new opportunities to reveal subtle changes in the electronic structure of water at high pressure.

Dataset on photonic crystal fiber based chemical sensor.

Project description:This article represents the data set of micro porous core photonic crystal fiber based chemical sensor. The suggested structure is folded cladding porous shaped with circular air hole. Here is investigated four distinctive parameters including relative sensitivity, confinement loss, numerical aperture (NA), and effective area (Aeff). The numerical outcomes are computed over the E+S+C+L+U communication band. The useable sensed chemicals are methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, and pentanol whose are lies in the alcohol series (Paul et al., 2017) [1]. Furthermore, V-parameter (V), Marcuse spot size (MSS), and beam divergence (BD) are also investigated rigorously. All examined results have been obtained using finite element method based simulation software COMSOL Multiphysics 4.2 versions with anisotropic circular perfectly matched layer (A-CPML). The proposed PCF shows the high NA from 0.35 to 0.36; the low CL from ~10-11 to ~10-7 dB/m; the high Aeff from 5.50 to 5.66 µm2; the MSS from 1.0 to 1.08 µm; the BD from 0.43 to 0.46 rad at the controlling wavelength λ = 1.55 µm for employing alcohol series respectively.

Overstepping the upper refractive index limit to form ultra-narrow photonic nanojets.

Project description:In general, photonic nanojets (PNJs) occur only when the refractive index (Ri) difference between the microparticle and background media is less than 2. The minimum full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of the PNJ is ~130?nm (approximately one-third of the illumination wavelength ??=?400?nm) formed within the evanescent field region. This paper proposes and studies a method to overstep the Ri upper bound and generate ultra-narrow PNJs. Finite element method based numerical investigations and ray-optics theoretical analyses have realized ultra-narrow PNJs with FWHM as small as 114.7?nm (0.287 ?) obtained from an edge-cut, length-reduced and parabolic-profiled microparticle with Ri?=?2.5 beyond evanescent decay length. Using simple strain or compression operations, sub-diffraction-limited PNJs can be flexibly tuned on the order of several wavelengths. Such ultra-narrow PNJs offer great prospects for optical nonlinearity enhancements of greater enhancing effect, optical nanoscopy of higher spatial resolution, optical microprobes of smaller measurement accuracy, nano/micro-sized sample detections of higher sensing sensitivity, nanoscale objects of more accurate control, advanced manufactures of smaller processing size, optical-disk storage of larger data capacity and all-optical switching of lower energy consumption.
