Linear and nonlinear media are used in the resonator respectively. By varying the refractive index of the linear medium, the transmission properties can be changed obviously, and the effect caused by changing the incident intensity with a nonlinear medium is similar. Several resonant modes that are applicable can be enhanced by changing the position of the gap of the split ring. Thus, the transmission properties can be modulated by adjusting the size of the gap, varying the refractive index, and changing the incident intensity of the input light. These methods may play significant roles in applications of optical integrated circuits and nanostructural devices.展开更多

It is found that the incident angle dependent phase delay and coupling conditions of neighboring split-ring resonator （SRR） units play important roles and greatly change both the transmission and reflection spectra for the resonant feature of linear charge oscillations. Our results show that the SRR structure-supported magne- toelectric couplings at oblique excitation are trivial and can be ignored. A highly symmetric response is found in the cross-polarization effects, which may manifest the bianisotropic properties of the SRR system but this needs further study.展开更多

We present two types of MSPCA, which contain split-ring resonators(SRRs) and dipole photoconductive antennas(D-PCAs). The experimental results reveal that when the femtosecond laser is pumping onto the split position of the SRR, the maximum THz radiation power is enhanced by 92 times compared to pumping at the electrode edge of the D-PCA. Two π phase shifts occur as the pumping laser propagates from the negative electrode to the positive electrode. Analysis shows that photoinduced carrier charges move within the split position of the SRR.展开更多

By investigating the influence of the asymmetrical arm width in typical SSRRs, we find that the variation of the arm width enables a blue shift of the resonance frequency for the 0° polarized wave and a red shift of the resonance frequency for the 90° polarized wave. Thus, the resonance frequency for the 0° polarized wave and the resonance frequency for the 90° polarized wave will be identical by asymmetrically adjusting the arm width of the SSRR. Two modified, split-ring resonators（MSRRs） that are insensitive to the polarization with asymmetrical arm widths are designed, fabricated, and tested. Excellent agreement between the simulations and experiments for the MSRRs demonstrates the polarization insensitivity with asymmetrical arm widths. This work opens new opportunities for the investigation of polarization-insensitive, split-ring resonator metamaterials and will broaden the applications of split-ring resonators in various terahertz devices.展开更多

文摘Effects of oblique incidence of terahertz waves on the response of planar split-ring resonators are investigated, both experimentally and by simulation. It is found that the incident angle dependent phase delay and coupling conditions of neighboring split-ring resonator （SRR） units play important roles and greatly change both the transmission and reflection spectra for the resonant feature of linear charge oscillations. Our results show that the SRR structure-supported magne- toelectric couplings at oblique excitation are trivial and can be ignored. A highly symmetric response is found in the cross-polarization effects, which may manifest the bianisotropic properties of the SRR system but this needs further study.

文摘As an ultrathin wide-bandgap(WBG)material,CaNb_(2)O_(6)exhibits excellent optical and electrical properties.Particularly,its highly asymmetric crystal structure provides new opportunities for designing novel nanodevices with directional functionality.However,due to the significant challenges in applying conventional techniques to nanoscale samples,the in-plane anisotropy of CaNb_(2)O_(6)has still remained unexplored.Here,we leverage the resonant nanoelectromechanical systems(NEMS)platform to successfully quantify both the mechanical and thermal anisotropies in such an ultrathin WBG crystal.Specifically,by measuring the dynamic response in both spectral and spatial domains,we determine the anisotropic Young’s modulus of CaNb_(2)O_(6)as E_(Y(a))=70.42 GPa and EY(b)=116.2 GPa.By further expanding this technique to cryogenic temperatures,we unveil the anisotropy in thermal expansion coefficients as α_((a))=13.4 ppm·K^(-1),α(b)=2.9 ppm·K^(-1).Interestingly,through thermal strain engineering,we successfully modulate the mode sequence and achieve a crossing of(1×2)-(2×1)modes with perfect degeneracy.Our study provides guidelines for future CaNb_(2)O_(6)nanodevices with additional degrees of freedom and new device functions.

文摘Microring resonators(MRRs)are extensively utilized in photonic chips for generating quantum light sources and enabling high-efficiency nonlinear frequency conversion.However,conventional microrings are typically optimized for a single specific function,limiting their versatility in multifunctional applications.In this work,we propose a reconfigurable microring resonator architecture designed to accommodate diverse application requirements.By integrating a cascaded Mach–Zehnder interferometer(MZI)as the microring coupler,the design enables independent control of the quality factors for pump,signal and idler photons through two tunable phase shifters.This capability allows for dynamic tuning and optimization of critical performance parameters,including photon-pair generation rate(PGR),spectral purity and single photon heralding efficiency(HE).The proposed structure is implemented on a silicon photonic chip,and experimental results exhibit a wide range of tunability for these parameters,with excellent agreement with theoretical predictions.This flexible and multi-functional design offers a promising pathway for high-performance,highly integrated on-chip quantum information processing systems.

文摘Two-dimensional phononic crystal(PnC)slabs have shown advantages in enhancing the quality factors Q of piezoelectric laterally vibrating resonators(LVRs)through topology optimization.However,the narrow geometries of most topology-optimized silicon–air 2D PnC slabs face significant fabrication challenges owing to restricted etching precision,and the anisotropic nature of silicon is frequently overlooked.To address these issues,this study employs the finite element method with appropriate discretization numbers and the genetic algorithm to optimize the structures and geometries of 2D silicon–air PnC slabs.The optimized square-lattice PnC slabs,featuring a rounded-cross structure oriented along the`110e directions of silicon,achieve an impressive relative bandgap(RBG)width of 82.2%for in-plane modes.When further tilted by 15° from the (100) directions within the(001)plane,the optimal RBG width is expanded to 91.4%.We fabricate and characterize thin-film piezoelectric-on-silicon LVRs,with or without optimized 2D PnC slabs.The presence of PnC slabs around anchors increases the series and parallel quality factors Q_(s) and Q_(p) from 2240 to 7118 and from 2237 to 7501,respectively,with the PnC slabs oriented along the`110e directions of silicon.

文摘To enhance the quality factor and sensitivity of refractive index sensors,a feedback waveguide slot grating micro-ring resonator was proposed.An air-hole grating structure was introduced based on the slot micro-ring,utilizing the reflection of the grating to achieve the electromagnetic-like induced transparency effect at different wavelengths.The high slope characteristics of the EIT-like effect enabled a higher quality factor and sensitivity.The transmission principle of the structure was analyzed using the transmission matrix method,and the transmission spectrum and mode field distribution were simulated using the finite-difference time-domain(FDTD)method,and the device structure parameters were adjusted for optimization.Simulation results show that the proposed structure achieves an EIT-like effect with a quality factor of 59267.5.In the analysis of refractive index sensing characteristics,the structure exhibits a sensitivity of 408.57 nm/RIU and a detection limit of 6.23×10^(-5) RIU.Therefore,the proposed structure achieved both a high quality factor and refractive index sensitivity,demonstrating excellent sensing performance for applications in environmental monitoring,biomedical fields,and other areas with broad market potential.

文摘The topic of improving the mechanical stability of external cavity diode lasers(ECDLs)has recently attracted widespread attention and interest.The use of corner-cube-array(CCA)-based resonators provides a potential solution for this purpose,although continuous oscillation at super large incident angle remains challenging.In this work,we employ the CCA resonator to generate continuous oscillation within±20°angular misalignment of cavity mirror in experiment.On the basis of retroreflection theory,the retroreflectivity of a CCA is analyzed by using optical simulation software.Notably,the experiment verifies the advantage of using a CCA over a plane mirror in laser resonator,thereby providing a promising approach for ECDLs.The threshold characteristic curves measured at different incident angles in the experiment verify that the CCA possesses an obvious anti-angle misalignment performance.This research introduces an alternative solution of using CCA resonator instead of parallel plane cavity,thereby realizing an adjustment-free ECDL with enhanced mechanical stability.

文摘Schottky mass spectrometry utilizing heavy-ion storage rings is a powerful technique for the precise mass and decay half-life measurements of highly charged ions.Owing to the nondestructive ion detection features of Schottky noise detectors,the number of stored ions in the ring is determined by the peak area in the measured revolution frequency spectrum.Because of their intrinsic amplitude-frequency characteristic(AFC),Schottky detector systems exhibit varying sensitivities at different frequencies.Using low-energy electron-cooled stored ions,a new method is developed to calibrate the AFC curve of the Schottky detector system of the Experimental Cooler Storage Ring(CSRe)storage ring located in Lanzhou,China.Using the amplitude-calibrated frequency spectrum,a notable refinement was observed in the precision of both the peak position and peak area.As a result,the storage lifetimes of the electron-cooled fully ionized^(56)Fe^(26+)ions were determined with high precision at beam energies of 13.7 and 116.4 MeV/u,despite of frequency drifts during the experiment.When electron cooling was turned off,the effective vacuum condition experienced by the 116.4 MeV/u^(56)Fe^(26+)ions was determined using amplitude-calibrated spectra,revealing a value of 2×10^(−10)mbar,which is consistent with vacuum gauge readings along the CSRe ring.The method reported herein will be adapted for the next-generation storage ring of the HIAF facility under construction in Huizhou,China.It can also be adapted to other storage ring facilities worldwide to improve precision and enhance lifetime measurements using many ions in the ring.

文摘A polarization-insensitive, square split-ring resonator（SSRR） is simulated and experimented. By investigating the influence of the asymmetrical arm width in typical SSRRs, we find that the variation of the arm width enables a blue shift of the resonance frequency for the 0° polarized wave and a red shift of the resonance frequency for the 90° polarized wave. Thus, the resonance frequency for the 0° polarized wave and the resonance frequency for the 90° polarized wave will be identical by asymmetrically adjusting the arm width of the SSRR. Two modified, split-ring resonators（MSRRs） that are insensitive to the polarization with asymmetrical arm widths are designed, fabricated, and tested. Excellent agreement between the simulations and experiments for the MSRRs demonstrates the polarization insensitivity with asymmetrical arm widths. This work opens new opportunities for the investigation of polarization-insensitive, split-ring resonator metamaterials and will broaden the applications of split-ring resonators in various terahertz devices.
