Cylindrical Resonator Utilizing a Curved Resonant Grating as a Cavity Wall
نویسندگان
چکیده
A thin-film grating on a curved substrate functions as a highly reflective and wavelength sensitive mirror for a diverging wave that has the same curvature as the substrate. In this paper we propose a cylindrical cavity surrounded by a curved resonant grating wall, and describe its resonance characteristics. Through finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation we have clarified that this type of cavity supports two resonance modes: one is confined by Fresnel reflection and the other by resonance reflection of the wall. We have also demonstrated that the latter mode exhibits a Q factor several orders of magnitude higher than that of the former mode.

Optically tunable Fano resonance in a grating-based Fabry-Perot cavity-coupled microring resonator on a silicon chip.
A grating-based Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity-coupled microring resonator on a silicon chip is reported to demonstrate an all-optically tunable Fano resonance. In the device, an add-drop microring resonator (MRR) is employed, and one of the two bus waveguides is replaced by an FP cavity consisting of two sidewall Bragg gratings. By choosing the parameters of the gratings, the resonant mode of the FP ...

متن کاملDemonstration of a cavity coupler based on a resonant waveguide grating.
Thermal noise in multilayer optical coatings may not only limit the sensitivity of future gravitational wave detectors in their most sensitive frequency band but is also a major impediment for experiments that aim to reach the standard quantum limit or to cool mechanical systems to their quantum ground state. Here, we present the experimental realization and characterization of a cavity coupler...

A rigorous solution of the homogeneous Maxwell equations for hybrid modes of a microwave cylindrical cavity with a transverse annular slot in the perfectly conducting walls of arbitrary thickness and a plane infinite anisotropic dielectric passing through the slot is constructed based on eigenfunction expansion. In each of the field existence regions (the cavity itself, the interior of a slot a...
