Controlling guided modes in plasmonic metal/dielectric multilayer waveguides

Journal Article Wickremasinghe, N. ; Wang, X. ; Wagner, H. P. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

We investigate the mode properties of planar dielectric aluminum-quinoline (Alq{sub 3}) multilayer waveguides comprising one single or three equally spaced embedded nanometer-thin (∼10 nm thick) Alq{sub 3}-Mg{sub 0.9}:Ag{sub 0.1} composite metal-island layers. The plasmonic waveguides were fabricated by organic molecular beam deposition. Transverse magnetic (TM) and transverse electric (TE) modes were selectively excited using the m-line method. The symmetric plasmonic TM{sub 0} mode was launched in all waveguides and—in addition—two higher order plasmonic TM{sub 1} and TM{sub 2} modes were generated in waveguides comprising three metal layers. Other TM modes have hybrid dielectric-plasmonic characters, showing an increased effective refractive index whenmore »« less

Normal modes of a cylindrical waveguide in a medium with a nonlinear dielectric constant

Journal Article Korneev, V I ; Akhmediev, N N ; Shermergor, T D - Radiophys. Quantum Electron. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

The authors theoretically investigate the propagation of TE modes in a cylindrical waveguide immersed in a medium with a nonlinear dielectric constant. The dielectric constant is a guadratic function of the field. It is shown that the dependence of the enrgy flux in the normal modes of such a system on the effective refractive index is an N curve--one value of the enrgy flux corresponds to three values of the effective refractive index. For the higher modes there are several N-type segments. The dispersion relation for the investigated structure is calculated numerically for specific values of its parameters, and themore »« less
Resonant absorption in semiconductor nanowires and nanowire arrays: Relating leaky waveguide modes to Bloch photonic crystal modes

Journal Article Fountaine, Katherine T., E-mail: kfountai@caltech.edu ; Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis, California Institute of Technology, 1200 E. California Blvd., Pasadena, California 91125 ; Whitney, William S. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

We present a unified framework for resonant absorption in periodic arrays of high index semiconductor nanowires that combines a leaky waveguide theory perspective and that of photonic crystals supporting Bloch modes, as array density transitions from sparse to dense. Full dispersion relations are calculated for each mode at varying illumination angles using the eigenvalue equation for leaky waveguide modes of an infinite dielectric cylinder. The dispersion relations along with symmetry arguments explain the selectivity of mode excitation and spectral red-shifting of absorption for illumination parallel to the nanowire axis in comparison to perpendicular illumination.

Enhanced transmission and beaming via a zero-index photonic crystal

Journal Article Hajian, Hodjat ; Ozbay, Ekmel ; Department of Physics, Bilkent University, 06800 Ankara ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Certain types of photonic crystals with Dirac cones at the Γ point of their band structure have a zero effective index of refraction at Dirac cone frequency. Here, by an appropriate design of the photonic structure, we obtain a strong coupling between modes around the Dirac cone frequency of an all-dielectric zero-index photonic crystal and the guided ones supported by a photonic crystal waveguide. Consequently, we experimentally demonstrate that the presence of the zero-index photonic crystal at the inner side of the photonic crystal waveguide leads to an enhancement in the transmission of some of the guided waves passing throughmore »« less

Waveguide splitting and squeezing in zero-index metamaterials embedded with defects

Journal Article Ding, Erliang ; Wang, Yangyang ; Liu, Xiaozhou ; ... - AIP Advances

This paper theoretically investigates the reflective properties of splitting and squeezing devices based on a zero-index metamaterial (ZIM) waveguide embedded with defects. This structure can guarantee no reflections, making it possible to build reflectionless splitters and squeezers. Moreover, the proposed theory has been used to couple input and output waveguides with different cross sections and to achieve an arbitrary angle of exotic transmission. The proposed defect structure can offer potential advances in cloaking, splitting, and squeezing technologies without restricting the object’s shape. Active control of exotic transmission can occur by incorporating tunable parameters into the defects and the ZIM.
