Based on the numerical solution to the nonlinear Maxwell-Bloch equations, the joint implementation of active (parametric) and passive (coherent) mode locking for a class C heterolaser with a low-Q combined Fabry-Perot cavity in the presence of an effective distributed feedback of counter-propagating waves is demonstrated. It is shown that the multiplicity of the spectral width of the photonic band gap of the cavity to the intermode spacing far from this zone contributes to the effective phasing of quasi-monochromatic quasi-equidistant modes, thus making it possible a phenomenon of parametric coherent self-mode-locking. A number of examples are used to demonstrate typical properties of a quasi-periodic sequence of soliton-like pulses generated in the found regime, which does not require external modulation of the pump or laser parameters, or the placement of a fast-saturating absorber in it.

An analysis is made of the possibility of isolating relatively high-Q modes or groups of such modes in low-Q combined Fabry-Perot cavities with distributed feedback of counter-propagating waves in order to ensure resonant interaction of the electromagnetic field with the polarization oscillations of an amplifying or absorbing medium filling the cavity. We considered two-level active media with homogeneous or inhomogeneous broadening of a spectral line, which can be both smaller or larger than the photon bandgap of a cavity. Particular attention is paid to the change in the well-known spectrum of polariton modes which takes place due to the transition from an absorbing to an amplifying medium under conditions that allow the realization of spontaneous or laser generation of the so-called superradiant modes.

We investigate the features of multimode steady-state generation of the superradiant heterolasers which have an active medium formed by the quantum dots with long incoherent relaxation time and a cavity of a combined Fabry-Perot type with a distributed feedback of the counter-propagating waves. We show that a quantum-coherent dynamics of the optical dipole oscillations and a population inversion of the working levels in an ensemble of the quantum dots with a strong inhomogeneous broadening of a spectral line may lead to a simultaneous lasing of modes with a various degree of phasing and/or correlation and with qualitatively different dynamical behavior, including quasi-stationary, metastable, self-modulated, pulsed-periodic, quasi-chaotic ones.

Photonic crystals are periodic dielectric structures that have a photonic band gap to control the propagation of light in a certain wavelength range. This property offers a means to manipulate photons in the same way as electrons can be controlled in an atomic lattice. Porous silicon is an ideal candidate fo r the fabrication of photonic crystals because of the availability of a variety of silicon micromachining techniques. One-dimensional photonic crystals with customized parameters can be economically fabricated using porous silicon multilayer structures with periodically modulated porosity. Despite the structural non-homogeneities, porous silicon fabricated on a p-type Si substrate has optical properties similar to a dielectric material with a single effective refractive index. The exact value of the refractive index for each layer depends on its porosity. An engineered porosity can be obtained by changing the etching currents during the anodization process. This results in a modulation of the refractive index. A stack of alternating layers with high and low porosity produces a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR). Various designs incorporating multilayer porous silicon structures with an optical Fabry-Perot resonator and coupled microcavities are under development and can serve as an optical filter. Prototypes of such free-standing structures with 21–200 stacked layers to be used as DBRs, Fabry-Perot resonators or coupled microcavities are being fabricated. These structures are coated with polystyrenesulfonate on their backsides to increase mechanical strength and at the same time maintain flexibility. In this work, reflectance spectra of these porous silicon multilayers with and without polymer on the backside were measured. Simulations of the multilayer one-dimensional photonic crystals were performed to predic t the reflectance spectrum and optimize their structures before the fabrication and to compare to experimental data.

ABSTRACTIt is known that photonic crystals can be used to suppress spontaneous emission. This property of photonic crystals has been investigated for suppressing and decreasing the propagation of photons within loss cones in fluorescent collectors. Fluorescent collectors can concentrate light onto solar cells by trapping fluorescence through total internal reflection. In an ideal fluorescent collector the major obstacle to efficient photon transport is the loss of photons through the top and bottom escape cones. One possible method to decrease this loss and improve the efficiency of these devices is to fabricate one-dimensional photonic crystals doped with fluorescent molecules. If these photonic crystals are tuned to exhibit a photonic band gap in the escape cone directions and at the emission frequencies of the fluorescent molecules, a suppression of the escape cone emission and an enhancement of the edge emission is expected. In this paper, we detail the fabrication of a one dimensional integrated photonic collector and show the suppression of the escape cone emission. This suppression of the escape cone will be shown to correspond to the photonic band gap and the modifications to the edge emission will be shown to correspond well with so called Fabry Perot modes. The control of emission inside fluorescent collectors opens up a number of additional possibilities for efficiency enhancements that will also be discussed.

We present a very simple method to realize a one-dimensional photonic crystal (1D PC), consisting of a dye-doped polymeric multilayer. Due to the high photonic density of states at the edges of the photonic band-gap (PBG), a surface emitting distributed feedback (DFB) laser is obtained with this structure. Furthermore, the incidence angle dependence of the PBG of the polymeric multilayer is reported.

AbstractIn this work, we propose a new filter design based on a ring resonator. This structure has 99% transmission ratio and high sensitivity to detect small refractive index variations of the order of 0.002. More specifically, the small size of this resonator gives the advantage to model a demultiplexer of size 463 µm2 based on four ports which operates in the conventional transmission band. Also, we show that our demultiplexer structure can reach more than 90% transmission ratio with an optical quality factor of about 3800, the spectral width is 0.72 nm and a crosstalk between −13.28 and −32.13. In our study, we emphasized the plane wave method to study the photonic band gap and FDTD to determine the transmission spectrum.
