Description

One-way plasmon Bragg waveguide reflector
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a plasmon Bragg waveguide, concretely relates to one-way plasmon Bragg waveguide reflector.
Background
Plasmons provide an effective way to concentrate or direct light beyond the diffraction limit. Among the various types of plasmon optical waveguides, metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguides have attracted attention because they have a very strong field limit and can be used for plasmon circuits on highly integrated chips. Today, a range of plasmonic devices based on MIM waveguides are proposed, such as detectors, reflectors, electro-optical switches, non-linear devices, filters, resonators, etc. In recent years, among many MIM waveguide devices, the attention that plasmon bragg reflectors receive has increased significantly. This is because the plasmon bragg reflector can be used to control the plasmon module, which is a basic unit forming the plasmon device and the plasmon circuit. However, the entire structure of the nanostructure elements and even the plasmon bragg reflector in the related art is limited to a longitudinally symmetric structure. Therefore, the reflectivity of light incident from the left side of the plasmonic module is always equal to the reflectivity incident from the right side of the plasmonic module. However, in some specific demanding scenarios, such as those in which the electromagnetic wave transmission in both directions of the reflector is required to exhibit asymmetric properties, equal reflectivity limits the field of application of plasmonic optics.
In many articles, plasmon bragg reflectors are analyzed, designed and optimized using complex theoretical models such as rayleigh expansion, or time-consuming mathematical methods such as Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) and Finite Element Method (FEM). For example, Li et al (Li G, Cai L, Xiao F, Pei Y and Xu a 2010 opt. express 1810487) proposes a quantitative calculation method based on a semi-resolved coupling mode model of a plasmonic bragg reflector, which may include different numbers of nanostructures, and using which the design and optimization process for the reflector may be significantly simplified. Recently, asymmetrical transmission devices for electromagnetic waves are also being intensively studied more. For example, Fedotov et al (Fedotov V a, Mladyonov P L, Prosvirnin S L, Rogacheva a V, Chen Y and zhelunudev N I2006 phys.rev.lett.97167401) reported a polarization sensitive transmission effect that is asymmetric along the wave transmission direction based on a planar chiral structure, Shi et al (Shi J, Liu X, Yu S, Lv T, Zhu Z, Ma H Fand Cui T J2013 appl.phys.lett.191905) demonstrated dual-band asymmetric transmission of electromagnetic waves in two opposite directions in a dual-layer chiral material, Xu et al (Xu Y, Gu C, Hou B, Lai Y, Li J andedchen H2013 nat.comm.42905) proposed refractive index of a gradient material based optical waveguide for asymmetric transmission of light.
However, the existing asymmetric transmission technology still cannot achieve a sufficiently high electromagnetic wave asymmetric transmission effect, and the device formed by the technology is relatively single in function, so that the application of the device in more scenes is limited, and the relatively complex structure of the device also causes the cost of processing implementation to be high.

In general, the dimension of the reflector along the Y direction in fig. 1 is much larger than the dimensions of the reflector in the other two directions, so that the dimension of the reflector in the Y direction does not need to be considered when designing the reflector.
As shown in fig. 1, the nonmetal layer 2 is preferably made of a dielectric material capable of allowing propagation of electromagnetic waves, and the nonmetal layer 2 has a core layer 4.

Further, the microstructures 5 are preferably arranged symmetrically with respect to the core layer 4, and two microstructures 5 arranged symmetrically with respect to the core layer 4 form one microstructure unit, so that the microstructure unit is a prism structure formed by extending in the Y direction according to the cross-sectional shape thereof. As shown in fig. 1, a plurality of microstructure units having the same structure are arranged on the core layer 4 at equal intervals in the Z direction, so that a periodic structure is formed. The relevant parameters are described as: the length of the microstructure units along the Z direction is w, the repetition period of the microstructure units along the Z direction is p, the interval of each microstructure unit along the Z direction is (p-w), and the number of the microstructure units of the reflector is N.

Examples
Selecting a unidirectional plasmon Bragg reflector as shown in FIG. 1, wherein the microstructure 5 formed on the nonmetal layer 2 inside the reflector is a right-angled triangle, one right-angled edge of the microstructure coincides with the surface of the core layer 4, and the other right-angled edge is arranged on one side of the second port and vertically extends from the surface of the core layer 4 to the outside of the core layer 4.
In this embodiment, SiO is used2As a material for forming the non-metal layer 2, the input/output thickness is D0Is 100 nm. Namely, the refractive index n of the non-metal layer 2sio21.45, input-output thickness D0=100nm。
When N is 4, a difference in the reflection rates of the saturations incident from the two directions can be obtained. When the number N of the microstructure units is 4 and the period p is 280nm, the parameters w and h are changed to obtain the electromagnetic wave with the operating wavelength λ shown in fig. 4R as a function of w and h at 800nm+、R-And | R+-R-L, |; wherein R is+The reflectivity, R, of the electromagnetic wave incident into the reflector from the first port 6 in the positive Z-axis direction-Reflectivity, | R, formed by electromagnetic wave incident into the reflector from the 2 nd port along the Z-axis negative direction+-R-I is R above+And R-The absolute value of the difference between the two reflectivities. As can be seen from FIGS. 4(a) - (c), R+And R-The maximum reflectance difference between the two occurs at the positions where w is 210nm and h is 150nm, and the corresponding maximum reflectance difference is | R+-R-And | ═ 0.814. That is, the following can be determined by fig. 4 (c): when the working wavelength of the electromagnetic wave is lambda is 800nm, SiO is selected2As material for the non-metallic layer, the reflector is selected to have a structural parameter D0When the refractive index is 100nm, w is 210nm, h is 150nm, and p is 280nm, the obtained difference in reflectance is | R+-R-And | ═ 0.814. Meanwhile, as can be seen from fig. 4, the reflectors both show a high | R in the range of 180-+-R-I.e. exhibit high asymmetric transmission properties.
While maintaining the respective constructional parameters of the reflector, i.e. D0In the case of 100nm, w 210nm, h 150nm, N4 and p 280nm, the variation of the reflector with the operating wavelength as shown in fig. 5 can be obtained by changing the operating wavelength of the electromagnetic wave, wherein the abscissa is the electromagnetic wavelength and the ordinate is the reflectance and transmittance in both directions. Let the reflection extinction ratio be 10 Xlg (R)-/R+) As can be seen from fig. 5, the reflection extinction ratio is as high as 10.97dB at λ of 800nm, and the reflection extinction ratio can reach 10dB at a bandwidth of more than about 50nm around 800 nm. And the wavelengths are in the ranges of 765nm-820nm and 505nm-605nm, the reflection extinction ratios are all more than 8dB, an obvious asymmetric transmission effect is formed, and the control sensitivity of the device can be improved.
While maintaining the respective constructional parameters of the reflector, i.e. D0In the case of 100nm, w 210nm, h 150nm, N4, and λ 800nm, the period of the microstructure unit is changed, and a schematic diagram of the change of the reflector with the period of the microstructure unit as shown in fig. 6 can be obtained, where the abscissa is the period of the microstructure unit and the ordinate is the reflectance and transmittance in two directions. . As can be seen from fig. 6, the reflectivity shows a periodic variation relationship with the period of the microstructure unit, and reaches a maximum value at p of 280nm, 500nm and 720nm, and the maximum value decreases with the increase of the value of the period p. Meanwhile, the reflection extinction ratios of the period p in the range of 200nm-800nm all reach more than 10dB, an obvious asymmetric transmission effect is formed, and the control sensitivity of the device can be improved.
While maintaining the respective constructional parameters of the reflector, i.e. D0In the case of 100nm, w 210nm, h 150nm, p 208nm, and λ 800nm, the number N of microstructure units is changed, and a schematic diagram of the change of the reflector according to the number of microstructure units as shown in fig. 7 can be obtained, where the abscissa is the period of the microstructure units and the ordinate is the reflectance and transmittance in both directions. . As can be seen from FIG. 7, R is found after the number of microstructure elements exceeds 4-I.e. the saturation value has been reached. Therefore, the reflection extinction ratio is also rapidly increased along with the number of the microstructure units, and the saturation is achieved after N is 4, that is, the reflection extinction ratio can be sufficiently large by selecting N to be more than or equal to 4, so that an obvious asymmetric transmission effect is formed, and the control sensitivity of the device can be improved.
As can be seen from the ordinate transmittance values in fig. 5 to 7, the transmittance values are very small. The obvious reflection extinction ratio caused by the reflector shows that most of energy is reflected when electromagnetic waves are injected from a right port by the plasmon Bragg waveguide reflector; and when an electromagnetic wave is incident from the left port, most of the energy will be absorbed.
In summary, the present application relates to a uni-directional plasmon bragg waveguide reflector having a longitudinally asymmetric structure, which exhibits a very large difference in reflection and absorption when electromagnetic waves are incident from a left port and a right port. The asymmetric reflection property along the propagation direction of the electromagnetic wave is realized mainly by designing an MIM waveguide which is composed of periodic nanostructures and is not geometrically symmetric along the longitudinal direction (namely the transmission direction of the electromagnetic wave), so that the unidirectional plasmon Bragg waveguide reflector based on the longitudinal asymmetric microstructure can realize unidirectional reflection of the electromagnetic wave, namely the electromagnetic wave enters the waveguide from one side to show a high reflection effect and enters the waveguide from the other side to show a high absorption effect, so that the plasmon equipment has richer control modes, and the design and use flexibility of a device are improved.
The foregoing is illustrative of only some embodiments of the invention, and since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation illustrated and described, and accordingly, all modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
