The Pad6 approximation with Baker＇s algorithm and the program are introduced to simulate photonic crystal structures. For a simple pole system with frequency 160THz and quality factor of 5000, the intensity spectrum obtained by the Padé approximation from a 2^8-item sequence output is more exact than that obtained by fast Fourier transformation from a 2^20-item sequence output. The mode frequencies and quality factors are calculated at different wave vectors for the photonic crystal slab from a much shorter FDTD output than that required by the FFT method, and then the band diagrams are obatined. In addition, mode frequencies and Q-factors are calculated for photonic crystal microcavity.展开更多

A five-layer waveguide model has been provided to analyze the electro-magne tic wave propagation process. The analysis method has been applied to the 980 nm laser with active layer of GaInAs/GaInAsP strained quantum wells, GaInAsP confinement layers and GaInP cap layers. By changing the thickness of confinement layers, we obtained confinement factor as high as 95% with higher TE modes TE1 and TE2. The results are in good agreement with the experiment by A. Al-Muhanna et al. and give the new idea to enhance output power of semiconductor lasers. The analysis method can also be extended to any other slab multilayer waveguide structures, and the results are useful to the fabrication of optic-electronic devices.展开更多

The main cause of the ocurrence of the thermal interaction between two neighboring diodes in array devices is the heat conduction through heat sink. We hold that as the devices must have heat sink to diffuse heat, this kind of interaction in the array would always exist. However, when the pitch between two neighboring diodes in the array is reasonably defined, this troublesome thermal interaction can be simply reduced by using our model. Based on the individual diodes with leaky waveguide structure, we experimentally succeeded in fabricating 2D 4 ×4 arrays. The thermal interaction between upper and lower diodes in the 2D array is also considered as well as the function of the heat sink. The measured results show that the pulse peak output powor of the 2D 4 ×4 array is high up to 11 W.展开更多

The results of thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and near-infrared absorption spectrum show that the materials have high thermal stability and high optical transparency in the infrared communication region. The refractive index of FPEEK can be controlled easily by changing the fluorine content of the materials. The 32-channel AWG multiplexer is fabricated using the FPEEK and oxygen reactive ion etching technology. The AWG multiplexer exhibits that the insertion loss is from 12.8 to 17.8 dB and the channel crosstalk is less than-20 dB. The wavelength channel spacing and the center wavelength are 0.8nm and 1548nm, respectively.展开更多

By removing a group of air pores, waveguides are achieved, and nano-cavities are shaped by modifying the radius of air pores. Highly parallel operation of this biosensor due to the special architecture is the capability of the designed structure. The biomaterials which are suspended in a liquid medium inside nano-cavities cause effective refractive index changes which lead to the resonant wavelength shift in the output terminal. According to results, with increasing the refractive index of nano-cavities, resonant wavelengths shifts to longer values. For biochemical sensing like DNA molecule and protein and for the refractive index detection, this novel designed biosensor can be utilized.展开更多

This sensor is based on two-dimensional photonic crystal with square array of silicon rods surrounded by air.

Simulation results show that resonant wavelength of nanocavity is linearly shifted to larger wavelengths by increasing the pressure. The designed sensor has a linear behavior between 0.1 GPa to 10 GPa of applied pressure and 8 nrrdGPa of pressure sensitivity.展开更多
