The rectangular waveguide grating is a promising all-metal interaction circuit for the millimeter-wave TWT with advantages of high power capacity, fine heat dissipation, scalability to smaller dimen- sions for shorter wavelengths, compact structure and robust performance. Compared with the traditional closed structure, the open rectangular waveguide grating （ORWG） has wider bandwidth, lower cut-off frequency, and higher machining precision for higher working frequencies due to the open transverse. It is a potential structure that can work in the millimeter wave and even Terahertz band. The rf characteristics including dispersion and interaction impedance are investigated by both theoretic calculation and software simulation. The influences of the structure parameters are also discussed and compared, and the theoretical results agree well with the simula- tion results. Based on the study, the ORWG will favor the design of a broadband and high-power millimeter-wave TWT.展开更多

By using the approximate field-matching conditions,the dispersion equation and the coupling impedance of this circuit are obtained. The dispersion curves and coupling impedances of the fundamental wave are calculated and the influences of the various geometrical dimensions are discussed. The results show that the bandwidth of the cosine-shaped groove SWS is much wider than that of rectangular-shaped groove one. And reducing the groove width can broaden the frequency-band and decrease the phase-velocity,while increment of the groove-depth can also decrease phase-velocity. For above cases,the coupling impedance is more than 16Ω. The present analysis will be helpful on further study and design of the RF systems used in millimeter wave Traveling Wave Tube (TWT).展开更多

The light from a mode-locked 76 MHz femtosecond laser with pulse duration of 200 fs and wavelength of 800 nm is focused normal to the surface of the sample. The surface morphology modifications are as- cribed to a fact that surface swelling occurs during the process. Periodic micro-structure is inscribed with increasing incident power. The laser-induced swelling threshold on the grating, which is higher than that of two-photon initiated photo-polymerization （TPIP） （8 mW）, is verified to be about 20 mW. It is feasible to enhance the surface smoothness of integrated optics devices for further encapsulation. The variation of modulation depth is studied for different values of incident power and scan spacing. Ablation accompanied with surface swelling appears when the power is higher. By ootimizing the laser carvinR oararneters, hizhly efficient grating devices can be fabricated.展开更多

By subtracting an increment from the core width of odd arrayed waveguides and by adding the same increment to that of even arrayed waveguides,a box-like spectral response can be obtained.

Measured result for the AWG shows that the box-like spectral response has a 3dB bandwidth of 0. 476nm, the crosstalk is about or less than - 21dB for every output channel,and the insertion loss is 13-15dB.展开更多

As an all-metal slow-wave circuit, this structure is especially suited for use in millimetre-wave travelling wave tubes （TWTs） due to its advantages of large size, high manufacturing precision and good heat dissipation. The first part of this paper concerns the wave properties of this structure in vacuum. The influence of the geometrical dimensions on dispersion characteristics and coupling impedance is investigated. The theoretical results show that this structure has a very strong dispersion and the coupling impedance for the fundamental wave is several tens of ohms, but the coupling impedance for -1 space harmonic wave is much lower than that for the fundamental wave, so the risk of backward wave oscillation is reduced. Besides these, the CST microwave studio is also used to simulate the dispersion property of the SWS. The simulation results from CST and the theoretical results agree well with each other, which supports the theory. In the second part, a small-signal analysis of a double rectangular waveguide grating TWT is presented. The typical small-signal gain per period is about 0.45 dB, and the 3-dB small-signal gain bandwidth is only 4%.展开更多

文摘A waveguide grating antenna(WGA)is an important component in optical phased array(OPA)systems featured by all-solid-state configurations for 3D imaging.The high-performance WGAs with dual polarization,easy fabrication,high radiation efficiency,and high angular resolution are desired for OPAs.This paper presents,to our knowledge,a novel polarization-insensitive WGA design capable of supporting both TE and TM modes,featuring a critical feature size exceeding 250 nm.The designed device demonstrates that this grating antenna exhibits similar upward radiation efficiencies(~85% for TE and ~80% for TM)and radiation angles at a wavelength of 1550 nm.The experimental results show that grating antenna perturbation strength can be achieved at less than 4.8×10^(-4)/μm for both polarizations.The measured beam divergences are 0.01°(TE)and 0.0101°(TM),with a wavelength scanning sensitivity of 0.123 deg/nm.The proposed polarization-insensitive WGA with high performance is compatible with the 3μm commercial platform and an OPA system based on the designed WGA has been designed and simulated.

文摘Research on supercontinuum sources on silicon has made significant progress in the past few decades.However,conventional approaches to broaden the spectral bandwidth often rely on complex and critical dispersion engineering by optimizing the core thickness or introducing the cladding with special materials and structures.We propose and demonstrate supercontinuum generation using long-periodgrating(LPG)waveguides on silicon with a C-band pump.The LPG waveguide is introduced for quasi-phase matching,and the generated supercontinuum spectrum is improved greatly with grating-induced dispersive waves.In addition,the demonstrated LPG waveguide shows a low propagation loss comparable with regular silicon photonic waveguides without gratings.In experiments,when using a 1550-nm 75-fs pulse pump with a pulse energy of 200 pJ,the supercontinuum spectrum generated with the present LPG waveguide shows an ultrabroad extent from 1150 to 2300 nm,which is much wider by 200 nm than that achieved by dispersionengineered uniform silicon photonic waveguides on the same chip.This provides a promising option for on-chip broadband light source for silicon photonic systems.

文摘An efficient technique is used to flatten the spectral response of an arrayed waveguide grating （AWG） multiplexer. By subtracting an increment from the core width of odd arrayed waveguides and by adding the same increment to that of even arrayed waveguides,a box-like spectral response can be obtained. A 17 × 17 polymer AWG multiplexer with box- like spectral response has been made using FPE polymer materials. Measured result for the AWG shows that the box-like spectral response has a 3dB bandwidth of 0. 476nm, the crosstalk is about or less than - 21dB for every output channel,and the insertion loss is 13-15dB.
文摘A slow-wave structure （SWS） with two opposite gratings inside a rectangular waveguide is presented and analysed. As an all-metal slow-wave circuit, this structure is especially suited for use in millimetre-wave travelling wave tubes （TWTs） due to its advantages of large size, high manufacturing precision and good heat dissipation. The first part of this paper concerns the wave properties of this structure in vacuum. The influence of the geometrical dimensions on dispersion characteristics and coupling impedance is investigated. The theoretical results show that this structure has a very strong dispersion and the coupling impedance for the fundamental wave is several tens of ohms, but the coupling impedance for -1 space harmonic wave is much lower than that for the fundamental wave, so the risk of backward wave oscillation is reduced. Besides these, the CST microwave studio is also used to simulate the dispersion property of the SWS. The simulation results from CST and the theoretical results agree well with each other, which supports the theory. In the second part, a small-signal analysis of a double rectangular waveguide grating TWT is presented. The typical small-signal gain per period is about 0.45 dB, and the 3-dB small-signal gain bandwidth is only 4%.
