چکیده

Abstract We propose and numerically investigate integrated photonic crystal waveguides (PhC-WGs) formed in a semiconductor slab to realize an ultrasmall highly efficient terahertz (THz) wave source. The structure consists of straight PhC-WG with low-group-velocity low-dispersion (LVLD) for difference frequency generation (DFG) connected two PhC-WGs introduce fundamental lights into the LVLD PhC-WG. light propagating through each designed enhance their electric fields by slow-light effect is efficiently coupled owing reduced refractive index differences at boundaries heterostructures. DFG from was simulated, temporal intensity oscillation corresponding clearly observed. By comparing intensities structures strip WG, estimated more than 100 times higher that WG. These results indicate effectiveness proposed heterostructure application THz source footprint compared conventional materials.

An Efficient Numerical Method for Analyzing Photonic Crystal Slab Waveguides

Computing the eigenmodes of a photonic crystal (PhC) slab waveguide is computationally expensive, since it leads to eigenvalue problems in threedimensional domains which are large compared with the wavelength. In this paper, a procedure is developed to reduce the eigenvalue problem for PhC slab waveguides to a nonlinear problem defined on a small surface in the waveguide core. The reduction pro...

Design of an efficient terahertz source using triply resonant nonlinear photonic crystal cavities.

We propose a scheme for efficient cavity-enhanced nonlinear THz generation via difference-frequency generation (DFG) processes using a triply resonant system based on photonic crystal cavities. We show that high nonlinear overlap can be achieved by coupling a THz cavity to a doubly-resonant, dual-polarization near-infrared (e.g. telecom band) photonic-crystal nanobeam cavity, allowing the mixin...

Proposal of highly sensitive optofluidic sensors based on dispersive photonic crystal waveguides

Optofluidic sensors based on highly dispersive two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguides are theoretically studied. Results show that these structures are strongly sensitive to the refractive index of the infiltrated liquid(nl), which is used to tune dispersion of the photonic crystal waveguide. Waveguide mode-gap edge shifts about 1.2 nm for δnl=0.002. The shifts can be explained well by ban...
