Detailed Description
The technical scheme of the invention is further described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings.
A one-way reflection PT symmetrical structure electric field sensor adopts a periodic PT symmetrical structure, wherein each period sequentially consists of A, B, C three different medium layers, and the period number is equal to the period numberN, the whole structure can be used (ABC) N And (3) representing.
The layer A is made of gain medium material, the layer C is made of loss medium material, and the layer B is made of electro-optic material; the B layer in the structure acts as a resonant cavity, and cooperates with the periodic structure to produce bragg scattering.
All materials are non-magnetic materials, i.e. have a relative permeability of 1.
And the A layer and the C layer are doped with quantum dots in different forms by using silicon dioxide as a base material to respectively form a gain medium material and a loss medium material. The dielectric constant of A, C layers can be described using the lorentz model:
the electron relaxation rate γ=1×10 in the formula (1) 14 s -1 Oscillation frequency omega 0 =1.221×10 15 (corresponding to lambda) 0 = 1543.835 nm). For the base material SiO 2 Its dielectric constant epsilon h The relationship with the incident wavelength λ can be described by a Sellmeier dispersion relationship. The three wavelength points in the formula (1) are respectively lambda 1 =68nm、λ 2 =116nm、λ 3 Corresponding coefficients are C respectively = 9896nm 1 =0.7、C 2 =0.41、C 3 =0.9. For layer a, α= -1.8428 ×10 -3 Represents gain, and α= 1.8428 ×10 for C layers -3 Representing losses.
The electro-optic material of the B layer adopts 5mol percent magnesium oxide doped lithium niobate which is a typical electro-optic material, and the refractive index of the material can be along with an external electric field E ex And (3) a change. Due to LiNbO 3 Is a 3m symmetric lattice structure, and when an external electric field is applied in the z-axis direction, the refractive index ellipse of the medium can be expressed as:
due to LiNbO 3 Is a uniaxial crystal, n can be used o Representing refractive indices in the x and y directions, using n e Indicating the z-axis refractive index. Considering that the incident wave has only an electric field in the y direction, i.e. TE wave is incident, formula (3) can be simplified and the refractive index n of the B layer in formula (4) can be obtained B In the form of (1), where n B0 =2.286 corresponds to n in formula (3) e Electro-optic constant gamma 13 =8.6×10 - 12 m/V。
First, in order for the structure to exhibit unusual optical properties, the overall refractive index profile within the structure needs to meet or substantially meet PT symmetry conditions. On the other hand, in the case where the applied electric field is constant, the refractive index of the B layer is a fixed value and the imaginary part is 0 as shown in equation (4). On the other hand, the A, C layer medium can be known to take the opposite alpha value from the formula (1) to ensure n A And n C The imaginary parts of (a) always maintain the relationship of the opposite numbers. Therefore, the refractive index distribution in the structure is made to be near the designated working wavelength as long as the thickness of the layer A and the thickness of the layer C are kept equal, and the PT symmetry condition is satisfied.
Secondly, in order to enhance the special transmission phenomenon of the PT symmetrical structure, the thickness of each layer can be adjusted so that the calculation result of the transmission characteristic is optimal. Taking the thickness d of the layers A and C according to the oscillation frequency of the Lorentz model in the formula (1) A =d c =1870 nm; layer B can be considered as a resonant cavity between layers A and C, the thickness of which can be determined by the resonance enhancement condition n B d B =λ 0 Calculated, assume an applied electric field E ex =0, giving d B The thickness adjustment of 675.95nm allows the incident wave to resonate in the B layer, which improves the intensity and produces stronger specificity phenomena when acting with gain and loss media.
The size of the external electric field is regulated by observing the transmission spectrum line of the electric field sensor, the structure can fall into the band gap in a longer wavelength range, and the electric field size can be obtained by observing the height of the transmission peak value by utilizing the band edge mode existing at the edge of the band gap.
The PT symmetric structure has a gain or loss phenomenon at the band edge, and although the gain and loss medium are uniformly distributed in the structure, resonance in the structure causes different acting time between photons and the gain or loss medium, and when the acting time between photons and the gain medium is longer than that of the loss medium, the overall gain action on incident light is shown, and otherwise loss is shown. In addition, this phenomenon is most pronounced at the band gap edges, because the group velocity of the light waves in the structure is at a minimum, the time that photons react with gain, loss medium is also at a maximum, and the gain or loss phenomenon exhibited is also most pronounced. Specifically, the layer B in the structure acts as a resonant cavity, and is matched with the periodic structure to generate Bragg scattering, so that a plurality of singular transmission phenomena are generated. Therefore, the nature of the structure cycle number N and B layers has an important impact on the overall structure properties. Increasing the number of structural cycles to n=400 will result in a significant enhancement of the band-edge mode, while producing high transmission and reflection peaks with very narrow widths at the enhanced locations, which is the basis for realizing the sensor.
The electro-optic material in layer B truly relates the transmission properties of the structure to the magnitude of the external electric field. The higher the external electric field, the more left the highest transmission peak is, and the lower the height is, at the positive incidence of the external electric field. When the external electric field is reversely incident and the sign is negative, the external electric field direction is reversed, the transmission peak value is increased along with the increase of the electric field, and the position is gradually moved right. The electric field sensing is realized by observing the height of the transmission peak value of the structure to obtain the electric field size of the structure. The greatest advantage of such a sensing mechanism is that the process of peak position detection is dispensed with, and only the magnitude of the transmittance is detected, which is simpler in terms of reading of the sensed data. Meanwhile, the amplification effect of the PT symmetrical structure at the band gap edge is equivalent to that of the sensor with an amplifier, and a wider range is provided for the change of transmissivity.
The one-way reflection caused by the Bragg scattering of the electric field sensor structure can be compared with the reflectivity in the positive and negative directions to judge the direction of the electric field of the sensor.
The phenomenon of unidirectional reflection can be used for the judgment of the direction of the electric field because the directivity of unidirectional reflection is related to the direction of the electric field. In the case where the incident direction of the external electric field is opposite, the reflected wave energy is weakened in the normal direction, and in the reverse direction, the reflected wave energy is strengthened. The direction of the electric field where the sensor is located can be judged by comparing the reflectivity in the forward direction and the reverse direction.
The above description is merely of preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but all equivalent modifications or variations according to the present disclosure will be within the scope of the claims.
