Transmission comb of a distributed Bragg reflector with two surface dielectric gratings.

ABSTRACT: The transmission behaviour of a distributed Bragg reector (DBR) with surface dielectric gratings on top and bottom is studied. The transmission shows a comb-like spectrum in the DBR band gap, which is explained in the Fano picture. The number density of the transmission peaks increases with increasing number of cells of the DBR, while the ratio of the average full width at half maximum to the corresponding average free spectral range, being only few percent for both transversal electric and magnetic waves, is almost invariant. The transmission peaks can be narrower than 0.1 nm and are fully separated from each other in certain wavebands. We further prove that the transmission combs are robust against randomness in the heights of the DBR layers. Therefore, the proposed structure is a candidate for an ultra-narrow-band multichannel filter or polarizer.

Novel perovskite solar cell with Distributed Bragg Reflector.

Project description:This paper reports numerical modeling of perovskite solar cell which has been knotted with Distributed Bragg Reflector pairs to extract high energy efficiency. The geometry of the proposed cells is simulated with three different kinds of perovskite materials including CH3NH3PbI3, CH3NH3PbBr3, and CH3NH3SnI3. The toxic perovskite material based on Lead iodide and lead bromide appears to be more efficient as compared to non-toxic perovskite material. The executed simulated photovoltaic parameters with the highest efficient structure are open circuit voltage = 1.409 (V), short circuit current density = 24.09 mA/cm2, fill factor = 86.18%, and efficiency = 24.38%. Moreover, a comparison of the current study with different kinds of structures has been made and surprisingly our novel geometry holds enhanced performance parameters that are featured with back reflector pairs (Si/SiO2). The applied numerical approach and presented designing effort of geometry are beneficial to obtain results that have the potential to address problems with less efficient thin-film solar cells.

Surface Vertical Multi-Emission Laser with Distributed Bragg Reflector Feedback from CsPbI<sub>3</sub> Quantum Dots.

Project description:Quantum dots (QDs) laser has become an important way to solve micro-application problems in many fields. However, single wavelength distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) has many limitations in practical applications, such as signal transmission. How to realize multiwavelength DBR lasing output simply is a challenge. To achieve a stable multi-wavelength quantum dots laser in the near-infrared region, the perovskite CsPbI3 QDs laser with DBR structure is developed in this paper. A tetragonal crystal structure with complete bonding information and no defect is explained by X-ray diffractions (XRD) and Raman spectrum. The cross-section morphology of the DBR laser and the surface morphology of QDs is measured by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), respectively. An elliptical light propagation field and a double wavelength laser radiation are obtained from the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation. The output of the three wavelength lasers at 770 nm, 823 nm, and 873 nm is measured. The emission time of a DBR laser is about 2 h, and the average fluorescence quantum yield is 60%. The cavity length selection and energy level model are put in place to clearly see the working mechanism. All the results suggest that an effective and stable CsPbI3 quantum dots DBR laser is realized.

High fabrication-tolerant narrowband perfect graphene absorber based on guided-mode resonance in distributed Bragg reflector.

Project description:We propose the narrowband perfect absorbers with enormously high fabrication tolerance, which consists of a low-contrast grating and a finite distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) layer with an ultrathin absorbing medium (graphene). It is numerically shown that the proposed perfect absorber outperforms the previously proposed schemes in fabrication tolerance. According to the rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) and coupled mode theory (CMT) fitting, over a considerably wide range of grating width and thickness, the proposed absorber provides a proper ratio of leakage rate to loss rate while preserving resonant condition, so that almost perfect absorption (>99.9%) can be obtained. This result is attributed to the strong electric field confinement in the DBR region rather than the grating layer owing to lower index of grating compared to DBR. In addition, without degrading the fabrication tolerance, the bandwidth of the proposed absorber can be controlled by the DBR thickness (the number of pairs) and a narrow absorbing bandwidth of sub-nanometer is achieved with 8.5 Si/SiO2 pair stacked DBR.

Extracting surface wave-coupled emission with subsurface dielectric gratings.

Project description:Conventional surface plasmons (SPs) or Bloch surface waves (BSWs) have a wave vector exceeding that of light in vacuum, and, therefore, the surface plasmon-coupled emission (SPCE) or Bloch surface wave-coupled emission (BSWCE) cannot escape from the corresponding structures. With the aid of a high-refractive-index prism or an oil-immersion objective, the SPCE or BSWCE can be coupled into free space. But the large volumes of the prism and objective are certainly unfavorable for miniaturization of the optical systems or inconvenient for applications such as the optical displays. Here we experimentally demonstrate a new method to extract the SPCE or BSWCE with a subsurface dielectric grating. The experimental results verify that the chip-like substrate with two decorated sides can bring out the directional fluorescence emission in free space. The emitting direction and emitting patterns can be tuned by the period size and dimensionality of the gratings. Our work provides a new strategy to realize free-space directional fluorescence emission at a very low cost and compact configuration, which has potential applications in fluorescence-based sensing, imaging, light-emitting diodes, optical displays, and other near-field optical devices.

Fluorophore Coupling to Internal Modes of Bragg Gratings.

Project description:Multilayer structures with two dielectrics having different optical constants and no structural features in the x-y plane can display photonic band gaps (PBGs) and are called one-dimensional photonic crystals (1DPCs). If the top layer thickness is carefully selected, the electromagnetic energy can be trapped at the top surface. These highly enhanced fields are called Bloch surface waves (BSWs). The BSW resonance angles are sensitive to the dielectric constant above the top dielectric layer. As a result, BSW structures have been used for surface plasmon resonance-like measurements without the use of a metal film. However, the emphasis on surface-localized BSWs has resulted in limited interest in fluorophore interactions with other optical modes of 1DPCs or Bragg gratings without the different thickness top layer. Herein, three different fluorescent probes were used to cover the short, center, and long wavelengths of the PBG. We demonstrate efficient coupling of fluorophores to both the BSW and internal modes (IMs) of a 1DPC. Coupling to the IM is expected to be low because of the micron-scale distances between the fluorophores and IM, which exists inside the Bragg gratings. At different wavelengths or observation angles, the IM-coupled emission (IMCE) can occur with the first three modes of the multilayer. This coupling is not dependent on a BSW mode. IMCE was also observed for a monolayer of fluorophore-labeled protein. IMCE enables sensitive detection of surface-bound fluorophores. Applications are anticipated in high sensitivity detection and super-resolution imaging.

Porous Silicon Bragg Reflector/Carbon Dot Hybrids: Synthesis, Nanostructure, and Optical Properties.

Project description:Carbon dots (C-dots) exhibit unique fluorescence properties, mostly depending upon their physical environments. Here we investigate the optical properties and nanostructure of Carbon dots (C-dots) which are synthesized in situ within different porous Silicon (PSi) Bragg reflectors. The resulting hybrids were characterized by photoluminescence, X-ray photoelectron, and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopies, as well as by confocal and transmission electron microscopy. We show that by tailoring the location of the PSi Bragg reflector photonic bandgap and its oxidation level, the C-dots emission spectral features can be tuned. Notably, their fluorescence emission can be significantly enhanced when the high reflection band of the PSi host overlaps with the confined C-dots' peak wavelength, and the PSi matrix is thermally oxidized at mild conditions. These phenomena are observed for multiple compositions of PSi Bragg reflectors/C-dots hybrids.

High power surface emitting terahertz laser with hybrid second- and fourth-order Bragg gratings.

Project description:A surface-emitting distributed feedback (DFB) laser with second-order gratings typically excites an antisymmetric mode that has low radiative efficiency and a double-lobed far-field beam. The radiative efficiency could be increased by using curved and chirped gratings for infrared diode lasers, plasmon-assisted mode selection for mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers (QCLs), and graded photonic structures for terahertz QCLs. Here, we demonstrate a new hybrid grating scheme that uses a superposition of second and fourth-order Bragg gratings that excite a symmetric mode with much greater radiative efficiency. The scheme is implemented for terahertz QCLs with metallic waveguides. Peak power output of 170?mW with a slope-efficiency of 993?mW A-1 is detected with robust single-mode single-lobed emission for a 3.4?THz QCL operating at 62?K. The hybrid grating scheme is arguably simpler to implement than aforementioned DFB schemes and could be used to increase power output for surface-emitting DFB lasers at any wavelength.

Dielectric tetrahedrons as terahertz resonators switched from perfect absorber to reflector.

Project description:Tetrahedrons are basic building blocks in natural and artificial materials, while the terahertz response of micro tetrahedrons has been little explored. Here we fabricate subwavelength ceramic tetrahedrons for use in the terahertz frequency range, and find that the three-dimensional geometry significantly affects their terahertz properties. The transmission spectra are independent of the orientation of the tetrahedrons, while the first magnetic resonance disappears in the reflection spectra when an upright tetrahedron is flipped upside down on the metallic substrate, which changes it from a perfect absorber to a perfect reflector. This is attributed to the destructive interference between two magnetic dipoles induced respectively by the incident and the reflected wave. The study brings new insights in the materials design with 3D building blocks to realize more interesting and exotic terahertz properties.

Dichroic Optical Diode Transmission in Two Dislocated Parallel Metallic Gratings.

Project description:An optical diode structure with two dislocated parallel metallic gratings is proposed and investigated numerically. Dichroic optical diode transmission is realized in this structure, i.e., optical diode effect is observed in two wavebands corresponding to inverse transmission directions. In the structure, two parallel metallic gratings with different grating constants are separated by a dielectric slab in between. The first illuminated grating acts as a selector for exciting surface plasmons at a proper wavelength. The other grating acts as an emitter to realize optical transmission. When the incident direction is reversed, the roles of two gratings exchange and surface plasmons are excited at another wavelength. In dichroic transmission wavebands, the optical diode structure exhibits extraordinary transmission and possesses high optical isolation up to 1. Furthermore, the operating wavebands can be modulated by changing structure parameters.

Normal incidence filters using symmetry-protected modes in dielectric subwavelength gratings.

Project description:We investigate narrowband transmission filters based on subwavelength-grating reflectors at normal incidence. Computational results show that the filtering is realized through symmetry-protected mode coupling. The guided mode resonances introduced by the slab layer allow flexible control of the filter frequencies. The quality factor of the filters could exceed 106. Dielectric gratings can be used over the entire range of electromagnetic waves, owing to their scale-invariant operations. Owing to the high refraction index and low index dispersion of semiconductors in the infrared range, these filters can be applied over a broad range from near infrared to terahertz frequencies.
