Description

Nonlinear laser amplitude limiting structure based on one-dimensional photonic crystal
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of photonic crystals and nonlinear optics, in particular to a one-dimensional photonic crystal laser amplitude limiting structure with nonlinear transmittance, which can be applied to nonlinear amplitude limiting application occasions requiring weak light high transmittance and strong light high attenuation rate of 532nm and 1064nm lasers.
Background
With the wide application of laser in industry, scientific research and medical treatment, laser protection is increasingly gaining attention. Since the human eye and the optoelectronic devices in various devices may cause irreversible damage under the irradiation of the strong laser, the strong laser needs to be limited. And the laser with weaker power can be used as signal detection light without amplitude limiting, so that the laser protection structure has the nonlinear characteristic and has important significance. For example, common laser with wavelengths of 532nm and 1064nm can be used as laser harmful to people and equipment under strong light and can also be used as available laser under weak light, so that a laser protection structure with high light transmittance under weak light and high attenuation rate under strong light needs to be designed. At present, the methodThe research of the nonlinear laser amplitude limiting structure is mainly based on optical effects such as nonlinear absorption, scattering and refraction. The reverse saturation absorption is a protection means commonly used in the field of nonlinear absorption light amplitude limiting, but the development of the reverse saturation absorption is limited by factors such as stability, a specific absorption waveband after synthesis and the like. For example, Soon in 2003, et al, utilize the principle of saturation absorption and reverse saturation absorption of kerr medium in a one-dimensional photonic crystal to achieve an amplitude limiting effect on strong light, but the amplitude limiting effect is not good. The light amplitude limiting output amplitude based on the nonlinear scattering principle is low, but the amplitude limiting threshold is very high, so that high transmission under weak light and high attenuation under strong light are difficult to realize simultaneously; the optical clipping threshold based on the nonlinear refraction principle is low, but the structure in practical application is too complex. In addition, VO based on the principle of phase change2The film is also a commonly used laser amplitude limiting means, but the method for regulating and controlling the light transmittance through temperature is not easy to control.
Since Yablonovitch and John proposed the concept of photonic crystals, respectively, in 1987, photonic crystals have become an important research field of optoelectronic materials. Photonic crystals formed by spatially periodic arrangements of dielectrics with different refractive indices undergo periodic modulation of the dielectric constant of the dielectric material, thereby creating a photonic bandgap. And a defect layer (the dielectric constant of the dielectric is different from that of the rest of the periodic dielectric layers) is introduced into the periodic dielectric layer of the photonic crystal, so that a photonic forbidden band is in a defect state, light with specific wavelength is allowed to pass through the photonic crystal, and a micro resonant cavity, an ultra-narrow band filter, an optical waveguide and the like can be manufactured.
The photonic crystal is applied to laser amplitude limiting, and YAG laser protective mirror design based on one-dimensional photonic crystal band gap reflection is realized, but the method cannot realize high attenuation of strong light and high transmission of weak light at the same time, and belongs to the linear laser amplitude limiting category. The nonlinear laser amplitude limiting structure based on the one-dimensional photonic crystal is realized for the first time in 1996, but the transmittance of the nonlinear laser amplitude limiting structure under weak light is 50%, and the amplitude limiting effect is poor. Several photonic crystal based tunable filters are currently available for nonlinear laser limiting. The liquid crystal is used as a nonlinear laser amplitude limiting structure of a one-dimensional photonic crystal defect layer, and the defect with low response speed exists; the tunable filter realized by the mesoscopic calendaring effect of the photonic crystal medium layer has the problem of low sensitivity; the method for realizing the tunable function of the filter by adjusting the angle of incident light has high requirement on the control precision of the azimuth angle and is difficult to be applied to actual laser amplitude limiting; the tunable filter based on the two-dimensional photonic crystal structure is difficult to prepare and has an excessively high nonlinear amplitude limiting threshold.
Aiming at lasers of 532nm and 1064nm, the invention designs a novel one-dimensional photonic crystal amplitude limiting structure, and utilizes the existing linear medium and nonlinear medium as the periodic medium layer and double defect layer of the photonic crystal respectively, thereby realizing high attenuation of strong light and high transmission of weak light.

Aiming at 532nm and 1064nm wavelength laser amplitude limiting systems, the invention respectively designs a one-dimensional photonic crystal laser amplitude limiting structure with nonlinear light transmittance and different composition media with the same structure. For a 532nm laser limiter structure, medium a was chosen to be C (diamond), with a refractive index of 2.425 and an extinction coefficient of 0. Medium B is selected as SrF2(strontium fluoride) having a refractive index of 1.4887 and an extinction coefficient of 0.00784. Defect layer C is selected from CS3-68 glass having a linear refractive index of 1.5 and a nonlinear refractive index of 2.3 × 10-10cm2W, extinction coefficient of 0.00011, thicknesses of dielectric layers A, B and C of 184.1nm, 92.0nm and 138.1nm, respectively, when incident light power density is less than 1 × 107W/m2When the optical transmittance is 86.4%, the incident light power density is more than 6 × 1010W/m2In this case, the optical transmittance was 0.02%. For a 1064nm laser limiter structure, medium a was chosen to be C (diamond), with a refractive index of 2.3902 and an extinction coefficient of 0. Medium B is selected to be CeF3(cerium fluoride) having a refractive index of 1.62 and an extinction coefficient of 0.00188. the defect layer C is selected from CdTe (cadmium telluride) having a linear refractive index of 2.746 and a non-linear refractive index of-1 × 10-12cm2A extinction coefficient of 0000153, the thicknesses of dielectric layers A, B and C are 149.3nm, 74.7nm and 112.0nm respectively when the incident light power density is more than 3 × 1014W/m2When the optical transmittance of the photonic crystal amplitude limiting structure is 0.3 percent, the power density of incident light is less than 1 × 1010W/m2When the refractive index is high, the optical transmittance is 79.8%.
When the wavelength of incident light is 532nm or 1064nm, the wavelength is just positioned at the position of a defect state under low incident light power density, and the transmittance is high; when the incident light power density is increased, the position of the defect state moves, the transmittance at the position of 532nm or 1064nm is reduced, and the light amplitude limiting effect under the high incident light power density is achieved.
For the photonic crystal laser amplitude limiting structure, a finite element analysis method is adopted, COMSOL Multiphysics is combined for simulation, an electromagnetic wave frequency domain physical field in a radio frequency module is added to obtain the optical mode field distribution of the photonic crystal laser amplitude limiting structure, and the change relation of the transmittance of the photonic crystal along with the incident light power density is obtained by changing the incident light power density. As shown in fig. 3 to 6, the defect-state mode field distribution of the inventive structure can be seen. In the propagation mode of the defect state of the photonic crystal, the energy of the light wave is concentrated at the position of the defect state, and the nonlinear effect is obvious. Fig. 7 and 8 are graphs of transmittance versus wavelength for the inventive structures.

It can be seen that as the incident light power density increases, the defect states are located in the same wayThe transmittance corresponding to the wavelength of 1064nm is reduced from 79.8% to 0.3%, and the nonlinear amplitude limiting effect is realized.
As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, by varying the incident light power density, a graph of transmittance versus incident light power density was obtained, and it can be seen that when the incident light wavelength was 532nm and the incident light power density was less than 1 × 107W/m2When the incident light power density is more than 6 × 1010W/m2When the wavelength of incident light is 1064nm and the power density of the incident light is less than 1 × 1010W/m2When the incident light power density is more than 3 × 1014W/m2When the transmittance is less than 0.3%.
