Topological guided-mode resonances at non-Hermitian nanophotonic interfaces

Abstract The topological properties of photonic microstructures are of great interest because of their experimental feasibility for fundamental study and potential applications. Here, we show that robust guided-mode-resonance states exist in photonic domain-wall structures whenever the complex photonic band structures involve certain topological correlations in general. Using the non-Hermitian photonic analogy of the one-dimensional Dirac equation, we derive essential conditions for photonic Jackiw-Rebbi-state resonances taking advantage of unique spatial confinement and spot-like spectral features which are remarkably robust against random parametric errors. Therefore, the proposed resonance configuration potentially provides a powerful method to create compact and stable photonic resonators for various applications in practice.

Band Gap Width

The photonic crystal has the property that electromagnetic waves with interval of frequency in photonic band gap (PBG) can not be propagated, so it has important applying and researching value. The traditional one-dimensional photonic crystal is with narrow band gap width, and the reflection within the band is small, especially the band gap is sensitive to the incident angle and the polarization of light. A new photonic band gap (PBG) structure, metallodielectric photonic crystal by inserting metal film in the medium can overcomes the shortcomings mentioned above. The one-dimensional Ag/SiOx photonic crystal was prepared, and theoretical and experimental researches were developed. The results show that photonic band gap appears gradually and the band gap width increase with increasing of period of repeating thickness. With the thickness of Ag film increasing, the band gap width increases, but the starting wavelength of the photonic band gap keeps unchanged. With thickness of SiOx film increasing, the band gap width of photonic band gap also increases, but it is not obvious and starting wavelength increases.

Photonic Band

We propose the one-dimensional photonic crystal quantum well structure composed of two negative metamaterials, the features of which are investigated with scattering matrix method. With this method, the transmittance, reflectance and dispersion relation of electromagnetic wave propagation in photonic crystal are obtained. Moreover, the photonic band structure is given by dispersion relation. For photonic crystal parallel wells the sandwich structure (MpNqMp) and four PCs structure (MpNqMpNq), the resonant modes exist in the photonic band gaps. The number of resonant modes is varied by changing the period number of the constituent photonic crystals. Meanwhile, the resonant modes is not sensitive to the incident angle increasing, only shift slowly to lower frequency region. Moreover, the resonant modes can be act as multiple ultra-narrow bandwidth filters.

Resonance Cavity

We report a small-angle ultra-narrowband mid-infrared tunable absorber that uses graphene and dielectric metamaterials. The absorption bandwidth of the absorber at the graphene Fermi level of 0.2 eV is 0.055 nm, and the absorption peaks can be tuned from 5.14803 to 5.1411 μm by changing the graphene Fermi level. Furthermore, the resonance absorption only occurs in the angle range of several degrees. The simulation field distributions show the magnetic resonance and Fabry–Pérot resonance at the resonance absorption peak. The one-dimensional photonic crystals (1DPCs) in this absorber act as a Bragg mirror to efficiently reflect the incidence light. The simulation results also show that the bandwidth can be further narrowed by increasing the resonance cavity length. As a tunable mid-infrared thermal source, this absorber can possess both high temporal coherence and near-collimated angle characteristics, thus providing it with potential applications.
