Specific embodiment
Technical solution of the present invention is described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification.
A kind of regular reflection PT symmetrical structure electric-field sensor, the electric-field sensor use period PT symmetrical structure,
In each period be successively made of tri- kinds of different dielectric layers of A, B, C, periodicity N, total can use (ABC)N
It indicates.
A layers are made of gain medium material, and C layers are made of lossy medium material, and B layers are constructed using electrooptical material;Structure
In B layer act as the effect of resonant cavity, cooperation periodic structure generates Bragg diffraction.
All material is non-magnetic material, i.e., relative permeability is 1.
Make base material using silica in A layers and C layers and adulterate various forms of quantum dots, respectively constitutes gain media
Material and lossy medium material.The dielectric constant that Lorentz model describes A, C layers can be used:
Electron Relaxation rate γ=1 × 10 in formula (1)14s-1, oscillation frequency ω0=1.221 × 1015(corresponding λ0=
1543.835nm).For base material SiO2, permittivity εhIt can be closed with Sellmeier dispersion with the relationship of incident wavelength λ
System's description.Three wavelength points in formula (1) are respectively λ1=68nm, λ2=116nm, λ3=9896nm, corresponding coefficient difference
For C1=0.7, C2=0.41, C3=0.9.For A layers, α=- 1.8428 × 10-3Indicate gain, and for C layers of α=1.8428
×10-3Indicate loss.
B layers of electrooptical material uses the lithium niobate of 5mol% magnesia doping, is a kind of typical electrooptical material, folding
The rate of penetrating can be with extra electric field EexVariation.Due to LiNbO3It is the symmetrical lattice structure of 3m, when external electrical field is applied to z-axis direction,
The refractive index ellipsoid of medium can indicate are as follows:
Due to LiNbO3It is a kind of uniaxial crystal, n can be usedoIndicate x and y-axis to refractive index, use neIndicate z-axis to folding
Penetrate rate.Consider that incidence wave only exists the electric field on the direction y, the i.e. situation of TE wave incidence, formula (3) by abbreviation and can obtain formula
(4) B layers of refractive index n inBForm, wherein nB0=2.286 are equivalent to the n in formula (3)e, electro-optic constant γ13=8.6 × 10- 12m/V。
Firstly, overall index distribution needs to meet in structure in order to make structure show unusual optical property
Or substantially meet PT symmetric condition.On the one hand, in the case where extra electric field is constant, B layers of the refractive index known to formula (4) is one
Fixed value and imaginary part are 0.On the other hand, it can learn that A, C layers of medium take opposite α value to ensure that n by formula (1)AAnd nCImaginary part
Then remain the relationship of opposite number each other.Therefore, as long as A layers of holding is equal with C thickness degree, it is distributed in refractive index in structure
Near specified operation wavelength, meet PT symmetric condition.
Secondly, in order to enhance the special transmission phenomenon of PT symmetrical structure, adjustable each thickness degree makes transmission characteristic
Calculated result is optimal.According to the frequency of oscillation of Lorentz model in formula (1), A layers and C layers of thickness d are takenA=dc=1870nm;
The B layers of resonant cavity that can be regarded as between A layers and C layers, thickness can be by resonant check condition nBdB=λ0It calculates
Out, it is assumed that extra electric field Eex=0, obtain dB=675.95nm, such thickness adjustment make incidence wave resonate in B layers,
Intensity gets a promotion, and can also generate stronger characteristic appearance when acting on gain, lossy medium.
By observing the transmission spectral line of electric-field sensor, the size of extra electric field is adjusted, structure can be in a longer Duan Bo
It is fallen among band gap in long range, using the band edge mode existing for band gap edge, the height by observing transmission peak value can be obtained
Locating electric field level out.
There are gains or loss phenomenon in band edge for PT symmetrical structure, although gain and lossy medium are to be uniformly distributed in structure
, but the resonance in structure causes photon different from the action time of gain or lossy medium, when photon and gain media act on
Time when being greater than lossy medium, the whole gain effect just shown to incident light is on the contrary then show to be lost.In addition, this
Kind phenomenon is the most obvious in band gap edge, is because the group velocity of light wave is minimum in structure at this time, photon and gain, loss are situated between
The time also longest of matter effect, the gain shown or loss phenomenon are also most apparent.From the point of view of specific, the B layer in structure fills
When the effect of resonant cavity, periodic structure is cooperated to generate Bragg diffraction, and then produces many unusual transport phenomenas.Institute
With the property of N and B layers of structural cycle number has important influence for structural integrity matter.Structural cycle number is first increased into N
=400, there is highly transmissive, the reflection of narrower in width in the position that band edge mode will significantly be enhanced, while generate enhancing
Peak, this is the basis for realizing sensor.
Really the transport property of structure and external electrical field size are connected, are the electrooptical materials in B layers.In outside
Electric field forward entrance and symbol are timing, and external electrical field is bigger, and highest transmission peaks get over Xiang Zuoyi, and height then decreases.When
It is changed to the reversed incident and symbol of external electrical field to be negative, external electrical field direction reversion, transmission peak value is mentioned with the increase of electric field level
Height, position also gradually move to right.There is transmission peak value with the rule of external electrical field size variation, so that it may transmit by observation structure
The height of peak value obtains electric field level locating for structure, is also achieved that electric field sensing.The maximum of such a sensor mechanism is excellent
The process for being to eliminate peak position detection is put, the size of transmissivity is only detected, it is simpler in terms of the reading of sensing data
It is single.Meanwhile PT symmetrical structure is equivalent to sensor and has carried amplifier in the amplification of band gap edge, is also transmissivity
Variation provides wide range.
By electric-field sensor structure Bragg diffraction caused by regular reflection, compare the reflectivity of positive and negative both direction
Size can determine whether out the direction of electric field locating for sensor.
Why regular reflection phenomenon can be used for the judgement of direction of an electric field, be directionality and electric field because of regular reflection
Directional correlation.In the case where external electrical field incident direction is opposite, reflected energy weakens when forward entrance, and reversed incident
When, reflected energy is enhanced.The reflectivity size for comparing positive and negative both direction, can judge the side of electric field locating for sensor
To.
