The phase response of the new trans-mission line is opposite to that of a positive refractive index conventional transmission line. Unlike the existing negative refractive index transmission line,the new negative refractive index transmission line is non-dispersive and thus can lead to many novel applications such as designing new broadband devices.展开更多

Generally, the refractive indices along different crystallographic axes of anisotropic thin films are measured using variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry.However, there are still some limitations concerning this method. Here we proposed a potential method to measure the band edge refractive index of wide bandgap semiconductor. An aperiodic oscillation emission phenomenon due to the Fabry-Perot effect was observed in the fluorescence spectrum of an AlN film with a thickness of 1500 nm. Based on the characteristics of the fluorescence spectrum and the definition of Fabry-Perot effect, we obtained the ordinary refractive index of the AlN thin film near the band edge directly. This refractive index measurement method is a supplement to the variable angle ellipsometry,and it is a more direct and effective method for transferred film and thinner samples to measure the fluorescence spectrum.展开更多

Apart from shifting the resonance wavelength and modifying the rejection band, average index variation can give rise to significant side lobes that may appear on the short-wavelength or long-wavelength side of the rejection band, depending on the signs of the average index change and the modal dispersion factor. Our results provide general guidance for the writing of LPFGs for the minimization of side lobes. Our analysis compares well with published experimental results and should be useful for the design and fabrication of LPFGs.展开更多
