Electrically triggered dual-band tunable terahertz metamaterial band-pass filter based on Si_3N_4–VO_2–Si_3N_4 sandwich

We experimentally demonstrate an electrically triggered terahertz(THz) dual-band tunable band-pass filter based on Si_3 N_4–VO_2–Si_3 N_4 sandwich-structured hybrid metamaterials. The insulator–metal phase transition of VO_2 film is induced by the Joule thermal effect of the top metal layer. The finite-integration-time-domain(FITD) method and finite element method(FEM) are used for numerical simulations. The sample is fabricated using a surface micromachining process,and characterized by a THz time-domain-spectrometer(TDS). When the bias current is 0.225 A, the intensity modulation depths at two central frequencies of 0.56 THz and 0.91 THz are about 81.7% and 81.3%, respectively. This novel design can achieve dynamically electric–thermo–optic modulation in the THz region, and has potential applications in the fields of THz communications, imaging, sensing, and astronomy exploration.

Solar-blind ultraviolet band-pass filter based on metal–dielectric multilayer structures

Solar-blind ultraviolet （UV） band-pass filter has significant value in many scientific, commercial, and military appli- cations, in which the detection of weak UV signal against a strong background of solar radiation is required. In this work, a solar-blind filter is designed based on the concept of ＂transparent metal＂. The filter consisting of Al/SiO2 multilayers could exhibit a high transmission in the solar-blind wavelength region and a wide stopband extending from near-ultraviolet to infrared wavelength range. The central wavelength, bandwidth, Q factor, and rejection ratio of the passband are numerically studied as a function of individual layer thickness and multilayer period.

Tunable graphene-based mid-infrared band-pass planar filter and its application

We have designed and proposed the edge modes supported by graphene ribbons and the planar band-pass filter consist- ing of graphene ribbons coupled to a graphene ring resonator by using the finite-difference time-domain numerical method. Simulation results show that the edge modes improve the electromagnetic coupling between devices. This structure works as a novel, tunable mid-infrared band-pass filter. Our studies will benefit the fabrication of planar, ultra-compact nano-scale devices in the mid-infrared region. A power splitter consisting of two output ribbons that is useful in photonic integrated devices and circuits is also designed and simulated. These devices are useful for designing ultra-compact planar devices in photonic integrated circuits.

DUAL MODE WIDEBAND BAND-PASS FILTER WITH NOTCHED BAND FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

This paper presents a planar microstrip wideband dual mode Band-Pass Filter(BPF) from 2 GHz to 3.4 GHz with a notched band at 2.62 GHz.The dual mode band-pass filter consists of a ring resonator with two quarter-wavelength open-circuited stubs at =90o and =0o,respectively.A square perturbation stub has been put at the corner of the ring resonator to increase the narrow stopbands and improve the performance of selectivity.By using a parallel-coupled feed line,a narrow notched band is introduced at the required frequency and its Fractional BandWidth(FBW) is about 5%.The proposed filter has a narrow notched band and a wide pass-band with a sharp cutoff frequency characteristic,the attenuation rate for the sharp cutoff frequency responses is 297.17 dB/GHz(cal-culated from 1.959 GHz with-34.43 dB to 2.065 GHz with-2.93 dB) and 228.10 dB/GHz(calculated from 3.395 GHz with-2.873 dB to 3.507 GHz with-28.42 dB).This filter has the advantages of good insertion loss in both operating bands and two rejections of greater than 16 dB in the range of 1.59 GHz to 1.99 GHz and 3.49 GHz to 3.98 GHz.Having been presented in this article,the measurement results agree well with the simulation results,which validates our idea.

A band-pass frequency selective surface with polarization rotation

A band-pass frequency selective surface(FSS) with polarization rotation property is proposed. The proposed polarization rotating FSS(PR-FSS) is a two-dimensional periodic structure, its unit cell is an antenna-filter-antenna(AFA) module,and the polarization directions of the upper and lower antennas in each AFA module are orthogonal to each other, so the PR-FSS can achieve frequency selection and 90 degrees polarization rotation at the same time. The numerical simulation demonstrate that the anticipated frequency selection and polarization rotation are realized by the PR-FSS in the frequency band from 8.84 GHz to 10.30 GHz with a relative bandwidth of 15.26%, and the maximum insertion loss in the pass band is only 0.17 d B. Finally, one effective experiment validation is carried out, a reasonable agreement is observed between the experimental and simulated results except for a slight deviation caused by fabrication error and measurement tolerance.

Design of UWB Band-pass Filters with GPS Band Rejection

This paper presents a compact Ultra-Wideband （UWB） band-pass filter using a high-pass filter and a low-pass one, and the resonator with lumped elements. The structure of our proposed bandpass filter is very simple and the Defected Ground Structure（DGS） structure is used to get the low-pass filter characteristics. This proposed band-pass filter can be much smaller than a cascaded type filter. As a result of simulation, the insertion loss is less than 0.3 dB throughout the pass-band of 2.2 GHz- 10.6 GHz, while the return loss is more than 18 dB. And it has rejection level of 36 dB at GPS band.

Electromagnetic Band Gap Loaded Square Waveguide Band-Pass Filter for Dual-Polarized Application

An Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) loaded square waveguide Band-Pass Filter (BPF) is proposed in this paper. It’s simply composed by symmetrically loading periodical metal diaphragms on each wall of a square waveguide. The influences of insert sizes and loading periods on the overall BPF performances are analyzed. Experimental results agree well with those predicted. 6 GHz pass-band with insert loss less than 1 dB, 2.5 GHz stop-band and larger than 25 dB polarization isolation can be obtained. The BPF can be applied in dual-polarized waveguide-based antenna-feed systems.

A tunable dual-narrowband band-pass filter using plasma quantum well structure

A tunable dual-narrowband pass-band filter is designed. A one-dimensional photonic crystal （1D PC） is comprised of alternate dielectric layer and vacuum layer. Two quantum wells （QWs） as defects can be constructed by sandwiching two plasma slabs symmetrically in the 1D PC, and a dual-narrowband pass-band filter is formed. The conventional finite- difference time-domain （FDTD） method and piecewise linear current density recursive convolution （PLCDRC）-FDTD method are applied to the dielectric and plasma, respectively. The simulation results illustrate that the dual-narrowband frequencies can be tuned by changing the plasma frequency. The pass band interval and the half-power bandwidths （-3-dB band widths） are related to the space interval between two QWs.

Passive optimization of pump noise transfer function by narrow band-pass filtering in femtosecond fiber lasers

Fluctuation of pump power is one of the major sources of temporal and intensity noise in femtosecond fiber lasers.In this work,the transfer functions between the relative intensity noise(RIN)of the pump laser diode(LD)and the output RIN,between the RIN of the pump LD and timing jitter of femtosecond fiber lasers are systematically studied.It is demonstrated,for the first time to our knowledge,that the amplitude of the pump RIN transfer function can be effectively decreased by an intra-cavity narrow band-pass filter.In particular,for normal-dispersion lasers,the 3-d B bandwidth of the transfer function can also be narrowed by two-thirds,with a steeper falling edge.Furthermore,with the narrow band-pass filtering,the transfer function is almost independent of the net intra-cavity dispersion due to amplifier similariton formation.The proposed scheme can effectively isolate the pump-induced noise without the need of complex active pump LD control and intra-cavity dispersion management,thus providing an easy way for practical high-power,high-stability femtosecond fiber laser design and related high-precision applications outside the laboratory.
