We propose a type of polarization-independent circulator based on a composite rod of ferrite and plasma materials in a two-dimensional photonic crystal (PhC) slab. Only one composite rod was set at the center of the structure to provide circulation for both TE- and TM-polarized waves. Additionally, to improve the performance of the circulator, three additional rods were inserted to improve the coupling condition between the center magneto-optical microcavity and the corresponding waveguides. Finite element method was used to calculate the characteristics of the structure and the Nelder–Mead optimization method was employed to obtain the optimum parameters. The results show that a low insertion loss (~0.22 dB) and high isolation (~14 dB) can be achieved in our structure for waves of both TE and TM polarizations. The idea presented here may be useful for designing compact polarization devices in large-scale integrated photonic circuits.

A novel colloidal co-casting process was developed to fabricate laser quality, multisegment composite ceramic laser gain materials. The approach was demonstrated for a three segment transparent composite rod 62 mm long by 3 mm diameter consisting of undoped yttrium aluminus garnet (YAG), 0.25% Er:YAG, and 0.5% Er:YAG. The Er concentration profile in the composite has steep, controllable gradients at the segment interfaces, while maintaining constant dopant concentrations within each segment. The composite rod has 84% transmittance at 1645 nm (the lasing wavelength) with a scatter loss of 0.4% cm−1. Laser operation of such a composite Er:YAG ceramic rod was demonstrated for the first time, with nearly equivalent lasing behavior to an Er:YAG single crystal rod.

Abstract Double-layer absorbing cement-based composites with the thickness of 10 mm were prepared, including different replacement levels of fly ash (FA) in the absorbing layer as well as the matching layer for impedance matching. Waste polyethylene terephthalate bottle fragment was introduced as electromagnetic transparent reinforcement aggregate. Carbon black was used to be original absorbent in the absorbing layer. The microstructure and electromagnetic parameters of FA were closely looked at through scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, and analyzer of vector network. The absorption and mechanical properties of cement-based composites were tested. It turned out that when the optimal replacement ratio of FA in the absorbing layer and matching layer gets to 50%:30%, the minimum value of reflection loss achieves −22.3 dB at 13.2 GHz; also, the value of absorption bandwidth that is effective (<−8 dB) is 6.4 GHz. Ni-Zn ferrite proves to be a feasible absorbent that is additional for the matching layer compared to what is added to the absorbing layer. The compressive strength of all the mixtures decreased, while the flexural strength decreased first and then increased with the rise of the FA replacement level.
