Embodiment
For making the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, below in conjunction with specific embodiment, and with reference to accompanying drawing, the present invention is described in more detail.
Embodiment 1:
See also shown in Figure 1, the flashlight light source that the present invention adopts is that wavelength is the infrared laser of 1550nm, laser beam is divided into two bundles by spectroscope, a branch ofly be focused into the point that diameter is about 100 μ m by focus prism, be radiated at sample surfaces, the present invention collects transmitted light by photodiode, and passes through wave filter afterwards by the computer collection; Another bundle is then directly collected with photodiode, is connected with computer by wave filter, as the reference light of transmission signal light.Sample places on the sample stage of fine-tuning angle, and the present invention can adjust incident angle of light by the angle of inclination of regulating sample stage, thereby the angle that obtains the photonic crystal plate sees through spectrum.In the frame of broken lines is pump light light source of the present invention, the Ti sapphire laser, and wavelength is tunable in the 800nm left and right sides, and repetition frequency is 1k Hz, and pulsewidth is psec or femtosecond magnitude (being generally 2ps).When the present invention changes the incident power of pump light, sample stage is rotated to 90 ° of angles that obtain the photonic crystal plate from 0 ° see through spectrum, as shown in Figure 2.Can see on through spectrum two very dark resonance peaks that lay respectively at 18.16 ° and 27.34 ° positions being arranged, the resonance peak degree of depth is respectively 0.005 and 0.007, and the transmitance during resonance is less than 1%, and the halfwidth of resonance peak is respectively 0.02 ° and 0.025 °.The present invention chooses near the resonance mode of preaching higher 18.16 ° of nonlinear refractive index change sensitivity is realized photoswitch.As Fig. 3 is through the dependence of the resonance angle on the spectrum to pump energy.Along with the increase of pump energy, the resonance angle also can increase gradually.This resonance angle is about 80degree/RIU to the sensitivity that the caused nonlinear refractive index of pump light changes.
When the incident illumination of 1550nm is mapped on the photonic crystal, rotate incident angle, when reaching 18.16 ° of resonance angles, the transmitance of incident light becomes very low and approaches 0, the closed condition of corresponding photoswitch; Under the situation that does not change angle, increase the power of incident light, when pump energy during greater than 300fJ, because nonlinear interaction causes refraction index changing 2.5 * 10 -4RIU makes the resonance angle be subjected to displacement, and the low transmission of resonance angle position originally becomes high permeability, the opening that corresponding light opens the light.Both contrasts surpass 50%, and after pump energy was greater than 1pJ, contrast will be near 100%.
Embodiment 2:
See also shown in Figure 4ly, the wavelength of 2 D photon crystal plate saw through spectrum when the present invention calculated vertical incidence.In the drawings, can see that a resonance peak is arranged near wavelength 1550nm, its quality factor is up to 10 5, the sensitivity of conduction resonance peak position refractive index is 446nm/RIU.According to seeing through last two conditions that the peak can be differentiated of spectrum, obtain making seeing through spectrum and going up the conduction resonance peak and move the minimum refractive index that to differentiate and change An and should be about 3.47 * 10 -5RIU.As Fig. 5 is the variation of conduction resonance peak along with pump energy, as can be seen along with the increase of pump energy, the conduction resonance peak can move to the shortwave direction, this is because the third-order non-linear refractive index of indium phosphide is a negative value, when the incident light energy increases, can cause the refractive index of material to descend, see through the spectrum blue shift thereby make.When being 13.33pJ for pump energy, mobile distance is 0.5nm, and corresponding variations in refractive index is 10 -4, and as can be seen from the figure, the displacement of resonance peak can clearly distinguish.Pump energy corresponding to the distinguishable variations in refractive index of minimum is 4.61pJ.
See through spectrum and upward one conduction resonance mode is also arranged the 808nm position, the present invention gets pump light and is positioned near this pattern, outfield and photonic crystal panel conduction resonance mode produce resonance coupling makes near the field intensity the photonic crystal panel be enhanced, thereby makes pump energy further be reduced.
As shown in Figure 6, when outside pumping light power was 0, transmitance was very low during the flashlight vertical incidence photonic crystal of 1550nm, and less than 10%, flashlight can not pass through, corresponding to " closing " state of photoswitch; When outside pumping light power increases to 184fJ, because being positioned at the spectrum that sees through at 1550nm place, the script that the reduction of indium phosphide refractive index is caused become high permeability, its transmitance is greater than 90%, near 100%, at this moment corresponding to " unlatching " state of photoswitch.
Photonic crystal panel structure provided by the present invention, because of its conduction resonance peak changes very responsive to nonlinear refractive index, the resonance peak quality factor is very high, and the field intensity enhancement effect of pump light and resonance Mode Coupling makes photoswitch need lower pump energy simultaneously; The photonic crystal lattice constant that is adopted is near 800nm, and micro fabrication is realized easily; The incident light direction is perpendicular to photonic crystal plane or incident at a certain angle, does not need strict end face coupling, and the photoswitch experiment is simple, and the practical application condition is not harsh.Photoswitch pump energy provided by the present invention can be realized the contrast near 100% during for 184fJ, is the minimum photoswitch of pump energy known at present.
Above-described specific embodiment; purpose of the present invention, technical scheme and beneficial effect are further described; institute is understood that; the above only is specific embodiments of the invention; be not limited to the present invention; within the spirit and principles in the present invention all, any modification of being made, be equal to replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
