Photonic crystal waveguides for coarse-selectivity devices

We discuss devices based on photonic crystal planar waveguides for use as wavelength-selective applications via the mini-stopband extraction mechanism. We present experimental data for the core of a compact demux system. We show that spatial and spectral behaviours are as intended from coupled-mode theory, as well as from the finite-difference time-domain approach. Finally, we propose architectures with large crosstalk and some inherent fabrication-related advantages achieved by duplicating the basic multimode waveguide and using it as a spectral filter.

Transmission and filtering in photonic circuits: effects of absorption and amplification

We study the effect of absorption and amplification on transmission and filtering in one-dimensional dielectric photonic structures made of dangling side branches grafted periodically along an infinite monomode waveguide with defective branches. The loss and gain are introduced by adding an imaginary part ″ to the dielectric constant. We show that for reasonable values of ″, loss and gain affect essentially the transmission at the frequencies of localized modes associated with the defect branch introduced into the periodic structure. The amplitude and the phase of the transmission and reflection coefficients associated with defect modes are discussed as function of ″ and the size of the structure. The properties of the defect modes in presence of loss and gain can be used as an on/off switching device in a demultiplexer made of the above photonic structures.

基于多圆环谐振腔MIM波导多路分频特性

在可见光到近红外频段,利用时域有限差分数值模拟计算方法,研究了一种多圆环形金属-介质-金属等离子体波导结构的电磁传输特性.结果表明,由于谐振作用,不同波长电磁波能量被分别束缚于圆环中,之后被耦合到各出口端进行传输,从而实现了电磁波的多路分频传输功能.圆环的共振波长与圆环半径之间存在近似线性关系,且随着圆环内填充介质折射率的增大呈现明显的红移现象;各出口端共振波长对应电磁能量的传输率随着介质波导与圆环间耦合厚度的增大而急剧降低.利用电磁波共振理论阐述了电磁能量的谐振束缚现象,与数值模拟结果吻合.研究结果可应用于未来光子集成器件中.

Optimized performance map of an EAM for pulse generation and demultiplexing via FROG characterization

We demonstrate the complete characterization of a sinusoidally driven electro-absorption modulator (EAM) over a range of RF drive voltages and reverse bias conditions. An accurate performance map for the EAM, to be employed as a pulse generator and demultiplexer in an optical time division multiplexed (OTDM) system, can be realized by employing the Frequency Resolved Optical Gating technique. The generated pulses were characterized for chirp, extinction ratio (ER) and pulse width (<4 ps). The optimization of the EAM’s drive conditions is important to ensure that the generated pulses have the required spectral and temporal characteristics to be used in high-speed systems. The ER and pulse width also influence the demultiplexing performance of an EAM in an OTDM system. This is confirmed by utilizing the EAM as a demultiplexer in an 80 Gb/s OTDM system and measuring the BER as a function of the received optical power for various values of the ER and pulse width. It is of paramount importance to accurately characterize the performance of each individual EAM as the modulators characteristics are device dependant, thus optimum performance can be achieved with slight variations to the device’s drive conditions. By employing FROG, an optimum performance map of each specific device can be deduced. Simulations carried out verified the experimental results achieved.
