Abstract In this work, different structures are designed based on graphene square-nanoring resonator (GSNR) and simulated by the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (3D-FDTD) method. Depending on the location and number of graphene nanoribbons (GNR), the proposed structures can be utilized as a band-pass filter, wavelength demultiplexer, or power splitter in the mid-infrared (MIR) wavelengths. The tunability of the suggested assemblies is easily controlled by changing the dimensions and/or the chemical potential of the GSNRs. Benefiting from the nanoscale and ultra-compact GNRs, these structures can be proposed as basic blocks for optical computing and signal processing in the MIR region.

A detailed numerical study of low-loss silicon on insulator (SOI) waveguide bend is presented using the fully three-dimensional (3D) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The geometrical parameters are optimized to minimize the bending loss over a range of frequencies. Transmission results for the conventional single bend and photonic crystal assisted SOI waveguide bend are compared. Calculations are performed for the transmission values of TE-like modes where the electric field is strongly transverse to the direction of propagation. The best obtained transmission is over 95% for TE-like modes.

Abstract An efficient method inspired by the traditional body of revolution finite-difference time-domain (BOR-FDTD) method is developed to solve the Schrodinger equation for rotationally symmetric problems. As test cases, spherical, cylindrical, cone-like quantum dots, harmonic oscillator, and spherical quantum dot with hydrogenic impurity are investigated to check the efficiency of the proposed method which we coin as Quantum BOR-FDTD (Q-BOR-FDTD) method. The obtained results are analysed and compared to the 3-D FDTD method, and the analytical solutions. Q-BOR-FDTD method proves to be very accurate and time and memory efficient by reducing a three-dimensional problem to a two-dimensional one, therefore one can employ very fine meshes to get very precise results. Moreover, it can be exploited to solve problems including hydrogenic impurities which is not an easy task in the traditional FDTD calculation due to singularity problem. To demonstrate its accuracy, we consider spherical and cone-like core-shell QD with hydrogenic impurity. Comparison with analytical solutions confirms that Q-BOR–FDTD method is very efficient and accurate for solving Schrodinger equation for problems with hydrogenic impurity

We demonstrate self-collimation phenomena based on a new type of photonic crystals made of square lattice with ring shaped holes. The plane wave expansion (PWE) method is used to get the three dimensional band diagram and equi-frequency of the second band which displays the self-collimation phenomena for the structure we proposed in this paper. The collimation angle is mainly depending on the maximum flatness half width (MFHW) of the equi-frequency. The FDTD method is employed to demonstrate the electric field amplitude distributions for the collimation phenomena. Partly, in order to achieve high efficient coupling of the input and output port, we modify both surface structures to modulate the wave-front to obtain desired effect. The parameter of the input surface is modified which will prevent the production of surface modes which takes away the EM power and enhance the transmittance. For a square lattice with the modified parameters at each side of the input surface, the surface modes are suppressed to couple with the continuum of the dielectric waveguide modes. More importantly, they might have potential application in integrated optical circuits.
