Description

Class spiral metal chirality Meta Materials circuit polarizer
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of circuit polarizer, be specifically related to a kind spiral metal chirality Meta Materials circuit polarizer.
Background technology
The polarization information of the object that polarization imaging technology can provide actinometry not provide on the one hand and material, has the accuracy higher than actinometry on the other hand.Polarization image is utilized equally with gray level image to distinguish and characteristic present natural target, exploitation in weather environment scientific research, ocean, space exploration, biomedicine and military etc. in all have important application, be a kind of new information analysis means, there is the advantage not available for a lot of classic method.
Human eye and the common detector are all " polarization are blind ", and when helping without any ancillary technique, human eye and detector are can not the information of direct " perception " polarization.Scenic focal point Object light wave polarization state carries out decomposing, scan and the polarization optical element of angular coding is core devices in Polarization Detection imaging system, is the key realizing Polarization Detection.The state of general employing Stocks vector to polarized light is described, full Stokes vector real-time polarization detection the liner polarization and circular polarization sets of elements of different directions is helped Stocks surpass Polarization Detection cell array, the integrated formation full Stokes vector polarization detector with detector array again, thus the detection that can simultaneously realize different directions circular polarization and linear polarization information, compared to traditional discrete Polarization Detection technology, not only system is compacter, stability and reliability higher, and real-time detection that discrete Polarization Detection technology cannot realize and dynamic object detection can be realized, therefore the advanced form of Polarization Detection is considered to.At present, adopt sub-wavelength metal polarization grating array and the integrated linear polarization detector of the integrated formation of detector array to have relevant report, the full Stokes integrated polarizing detector of integrated linear polarization element and circular polarization element then rarely has report simultaneously.
At present, utilize linear polarizer and quarter-wave plate to be modal realization and regulate and control circularly polarized light method.But such device must converge the input and output light through linear polarizer and collimate in use, accurate aligning when linear polarizer and quarter-wave plate are interconnected to be ensured simultaneously; System is made up of discrete device, not only make whole system loss greatly increase, and the instability of system also increases greatly, and volume is also comparatively large, integrated difficulty; Quarter-wave plate operating wavelength range is narrower, cannot obtain the circularly polarized light of wide wavelength coverage.It is crucial that cannot with linear polarization structure single-chip integration, common form the polarization arrays device that can realize the detection of full Stokes vector.
Utilize the chiral structure of the electrically conerolled birefringence characteristic of cholesteric liquid crystal and spiral fashion optical fiber also can obtain and regulate and control circularly polarized light, but be subject to the restriction of cholesteric crystal material and spiral fashion optical fiber self performance, the working range of these two kinds of circuit polarizers is also all narrower, significantly limit its application.Not only incompatible with the preparation technology of linear polarization monolithic device, and suitable working range will be obtained, need to increase the spiral number of turns, thus cause that device is too thick to be difficult to integrated, therefore, also cannot become the polarization arrays device of full Stokes vector detection.
Chirality Meta Materials is the artificial metamaterial of a class symmetry disappearance, research finds, the circular dichroism (namely having different responses to left-handed and right-circularly polarized light) of chirality Meta Materials can exceed the several order of magnitude of natural material, and thus chirality Meta Materials starts to be subject to extensive concern as a kind of novel circuit polarizer candidate.
In September, 2009, first the researchist of Karlsruhe, Germany university proposes to adopt Au spiral chirality Meta Materials to obtain broadband circularly polarized light, working range is at 3.5 μm-6.5 μm, see Justyna K.Ganselet.al.Circle Polarizer Gold Helix Photonic Metamaterial as Broadband, Science325,1513 (2009).The method that they prepare first adopts laser beam direct writing technology to carry out sun to photoresist to carve, and subsequently by the method for electrochemical deposition, golden uniform deposition in spiral-like air gap, removes photoresist completely subsequently thus the gold thread grid of acquisition monotonous helical shape.Compared with classic method, adopt this helical structure service band wide, but be excited the restriction of light beam focal beam spot size, be difficult to prepare nano-scale device.And, this preparation process complex process, particularly the straight writing rate of laser beam is slow, not only be difficult to realize extensive preparation, and the circular polarization structure that laser direct writing method is formed is difficult to realize single-chip integration with other linear polarization structures, common formation can carry out the array device of full Stokes vector real-time polarization detection.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is to proposition one kind spiral metal chirality Meta Materials circuit polarizer, solve traditional round polarizer operating wavelength range narrow, be difficult to the problem forming full Stokes vector Polarization Detection device with other linear polarization structure single-chip integration.
Class spiral metal chirality Meta Materials circuit polarizer of the present invention, its structure is: be followed successively by from down to up in substrate 1 front and the transparent medium wall 2 of substrate strong bonded and the class spiral metal chirality micro structure array 3 be embedded in transparent medium wall.
The material of described substrate 1 is fused silica glass or K9 glass or ZK6 glass or BAK Glass optical glass or jewel or silicon chip or germanium wafer;
The material of described transparent medium wall 2 is the SiO being applicable to vacuum coating or the growth of magnetron sputtering membrane process 2or SiO or MgO or Al 2o 3or MgF 2or ZnS.
Described micro structure array 3 comprises the microstructure unit of N number of arrangement in cyclic array, 1 < N≤10 6; Microstructure unit comprises m stacked on top part metals circular arc, the size of each metal circular arc is with to comprise angle θ identical, arrangement is rotated around same central shaft, upper strata metal circular arc comparatively lower metal circular arc rotates θ angle, 10 °≤θ≤180 °, and meet 360/ θ+1≤m≤10, the end composition class spirality of upper/lower layer metallic circular arc is connected through metal cylinder; Described metal circular arc and the material of cylinder are Au or Ag or Cu or Pt or Al with surface plasma body resonant vibration characteristic, and the material of each metal circular arc and cylinder is same metal material or metal material not of the same race.When selected metal material and transparent medium wall adhesiveness poor time, need to plate thin Ti or the Cr metal bonding coating of one deck at metal arc or metal column and transparent medium wall.The unit size of metal chiral micro structure array 3 is: x and the y direction cycle is p=n* (200 ~ 220) nm, spacer thickness d=n* (45 ~ 55) nm between two-layer, metal circular arc radius r=n* (75 ~ 80) nm, width w=n* (15 ~ 25) nm, external diameter r o=r+w/2nm, internal diameter r i=r-w/2nm, thickness t=n* (30 ~ 40) nm, metal arc and to be all coated with thickness between metal column and dielectric distance layer be t bthe tack coat of=0 ~ 20nm.Wherein, p > 2*r o, the span of n is 1≤n≤10.
The ultimate principle of class spiral metal chirality Meta Materials circuit polarizer of the present invention is: for class helical structure, only have when the polarised direction of incident electromagnetic wave is mated with the rotation direction of spiral (such as left circularly polarized light and left-turn spiral), just can produce stronger induction current on helix, and electric current transmits in helix with the form of standing wave, incident light can not be through by helix " reception "; Otherwise when the unmatched circularly polarized light of polarised direction is incident, the electric current that helix produces is then very faint, almost negligible, and most of incident light can through device.Like this by the rotation direction of adjustment class helical structure, class spiral chirality metal Meta Materials circuit polarizer just achieve to the selectivity of left-right rotary circularly polarized light through.The wide service band of device then comes from the particular design of structure and size, each metal openings arc can regard a small resonance electromagnetic body as, under the induction of coupling circular polarization incident light field, circular arc can produce ring-like and electric current that is oscillation mode, the magnetic field of local is caused to strengthen, produce electromagentic resonance, will produce a sharp-pointed resonance peak like this on frequency spectrum, wavelength place, resonance peak place will present lower transmitance.The number of plies increases, and just there will be multiple sharp-pointed resonance peak, and the resonant positions of different directions circular arc is different, and it is lower that internal resonance peak mutually overlapping will form a transmitance, the polarization forbidden band that wave band is wider.And the class spiral in a longitudinal cycle can be regarded a hand as and levies crystal, when the pulsed light in broadband incides on crystal, due to Bragg reflection, will produce the sharp-pointed resonance peak of another one on frequency spectrum.Therefore, when circuit polarizer comprises number of stories m >=360/ θ+1 (θ is that metal arc comprises angle), internal resonance peak and Prague resonance peak can occur simultaneously, thus the polarization forbidden band that overlapping formation one is wider, obtain wide service band.Comprise the number of plies more, then to the circularly polarized light of rotation direction coupling through inhibiting effect stronger, thus higher extinction ratio can be obtained.Physical dimension increases, then corresponding resonant wavelength red shift, service band is red shift thereupon also.
Advantage of the present invention is:
1, class spiral metal chirality Meta Materials circuit polarizer can obtain overlapping internal resonance peak and Prague resonance peak due to special structural design simultaneously, a wide polarization forbidden band is existed to left-handed (or dextrorotation) circularly polarized light, to dextrorotation (or left-handed) circularly polarized light then optical clear, therefore wide service band can be obtained.
