ABSTRACT

Although a breakthrough in the fabrication of green laser diodes has occurred, the high costs associated with the difficulty of manufacture still present a great obstacle for its practical application. Another approach for producing a green laser, by combining a laser device and a nonlinear crystal, entails the fabrication of complex structures and exhibits unstable performance due to interface contact defects, thus limiting its application. In this work, we report the fabrication by domain engineering of high quality periodically poled LiNbO3, co-doped with Nd³âº and Mg²âº, which combines a laser medium and a high efficiency second harmonic conversion crystal into a single system that is designed to overcome the above problems. An 80 mW self-frequency doubling green laser was constructed for the first time from a periodically poled Nd:Mg:LiNbO3 crystal of 16 mm in length. This crystal can be used for developing compact, stable, highly efficient mini-solid-state-lasers, which promise to have many applications in portable laser-based spectroscopy, photo-communications, terahertz wave generation, and laser displays.

ABSTRACT

A two-dimensional anisotropic annular photonic crystal slab structure composed of circular air holes and dielectric rods with finite thickness in a triangular lattice is presented to achieve an absolute photonic band gap. Positive uniaxial crystal Tellurium is introduced to the structure with the extraordinary axis parallel to the extension direction of rods. The role of each geometric parameter is investigated by employing the conjugate-gradient method. A large mid-gap ratio is realized by the parameter optimization. A flat band called as anomalous group velocity within two large gaps is discovered and can be widely applied in many fields. A hybrid structure with GaAs slab and Te rods is designed to achieve a large gap and demonstrates that the annular structure can improve the gap effectively.

ABSTRACT

A needle of strong longitudinally polarized field with homogeneous intensity along the optical axis, long depth of focus, and subdiffraction beam size can be generated by focusing a radially polarized light with a high-NA lens and a diffractive optical element (DOE) with belts. A method combining the global-search-optimization algorithm and the tight focusing properties of the radially polarized light is proposed to design the DOE. Based on the tight focusing properties, the light incident on the lens is divided into two parts: areas A and B. We discover that the longitudinal field in the focal region is mainly dependent on the number of belts in area B but not the total number of belts in the DOE.

ABSTRACT

Spectrum control by anisotropy in a cylindrical microcavity made of electric anisotropic medium was studied. A finite-difference time domain method for electric anisotropic medium and Volume-average Effective Permittivity approximation are applied to calculate the resonant frequencies and quality factors of Whispering-gallery modes. The resonant frequency for different whispering-gallery modes has a similar shift in direct proportion to the relative difference of two principal refractive indices. The quality factors decay exponentially due to directional emission when the difference of two principal refractive indices increases. This novel tuning characteristic of anisotropic cylindrical microcavity will play an important role in many areas, such as light source with tunable wavelength, tunable filter and sensor.
