Non-volatile dynamically switchable color display via chalcogenide stepwise cavity resonators

High-resolution multi-color printing relies upon pixelated optical nanostructures,which is crucial to promote color display by producing nonbleaching colors,yet requires simplicity in fabrication and dynamic switching.Antimony trisulfide(Sb_(2)S_(3))is a newly rising chalcogenide material that possesses prompt and significant transition of its optical characteristics in the visible region between amorphous and crystalline phases,which holds the key to color-varying devices.Herein,we proposed a dynamically switchable color printing method using Sb_(2)S_(3)-based stepwise pixelated Fabry-Pérot(FP)cavities with various cavity lengths.The device was fabricated by employing a direct laser patterning that is a less timeconsuming,more approachable,and low-cost technique.As switching the state of Sb_(2)S_(3) between amorphous and crystalline,the multi-color of stepwise pixelated FP cavities can be actively changed.The color variation is due to the profound change in the refractive index of Sb_(2)S_(3) over the visible spectrum during its phase transition.Moreover,we directly fabricated sub-50 nm nano-grating on ultrathin Sb_(2)S_(3) laminate via microsphere 800-nm femtosecond laser irradiation in far field.The minimum feature size can be further decreased down to~45 nm(λ/17)by varying the thickness of Sb_(2)S_(3) film.Ultrafast switchable Sb_(2)S_(3) photonic devices can take one step toward the next generation of inkless erasable papers or displays and enable information encryption,camouflaging surfaces,anticounterfeiting,etc.Importantly,our work explores the prospects of rapid and rewritable fabrication of periodic structures with nano-scale resolution and can serve as a guideline for further development of chalcogenide-based photonics components.

Teleportation of two-atom entangled state in resonant cavity quantum electrodynamics

An alternative scheme is presented for teleportation of a two-atom entangled state in cavity quantum electrodynamics （QED）. It is based on the resonant atom-cavity field interaction. In the scheme, only one cavity is involved, and the number of the atoms needed to be detected is decreased compared with the previous scheme. Since the resonant atom-cavity field interaction greatly reduces the interaction time, the decoherence effect can be effectively suppressed during the teleportation process. The experimental feasibility of the scheme is discussed. The scheme can easily be generalized to the teleportation of N-atom Greeninger-Horne-Zeilinger （GHZ） entangled states. The number of atoms needed to be detected does not increase as the number of the atoms in the GHZ state increases.

Novel method to measure unloaded quality factor of resonant cavities at room temperature

We demonstrated a novel method to measure the unloaded quality factor(Q factor) of high-Q resonant cavities. This method was used to obtain data with low errors and calculate the unloaded Q factor. This procedure was more reliable than traditional methods. The data required for the method were near the resonant frequency,not at the half-power points of the reflection coefficient curve or Smith chart. We applied the new method to measure a resonant cavity with an unloaded Q factor of^100,000, obtaining good agreement between the measured and theoretical results.

Resonant perfect absorption of molybdenum disulfide beyond the bandgap

Light absorption and radiation are fundamental processes in optical science and engineering.Materials with perfect absorption properties play an important role in numerous optical applications.Following the meteoric rise of MoS_(2)material,global opportunities and challenges coexist due to its extremely weak light-matter interaction capability beyond its energy band.In this work,we designed a kind of sandwich resonance structure and investigated MoS_(2)as a perfect absorber in the infrared spectrum that should be transparent according to the optical band theory.The infrared absorption properties of W or Au/MoS_(2)/Au models at 800 nm-2400 nm were systematic simulated.By optimizing the structural parameters,the resonant wavelength of perfect absorption can be modulated from 830 nm to 1700 nm with angle insensitivity and polar independence.Moreover,we discovered that the bandwidth of absorption exceeding 50%of the W-top model reaches500 nm,while that of the Au-top model is less than 100 nm,indicating that the top metal material has a great influence on the resonance absorption spectrum.Our work provides a practical route for enhancing and manipulating the light-matter interactions of low-dimensional materials beyond their own band gaps,which will be critical in the future design and implementation of optoelectronic devices and systems.

Nonperturbative solutions to cylindrical resonant cavities with dissipative medium and imperfectly conducting walls

Cylindrical waveguides without end surfaces can serve as two-dimensional resonant cavities. In such cavities the electromagnetic oscillations corresponding to an eigenfrequency can always be taken as TM or TE modes even when the walls have a finite conductivity and the medium is absorptive. This paper obtains analytic solutions to the field equations when the cylinder has a circular cross section. Some nonperturbative conclusions are drawn from the eigenvalue equation. Approximate analytic results for the resonant frequencies are obtained when the absorption of the medium is small and the walls are good conductors. Stability of the eigen modes is discussed. Similar results for the coaxial line are presented.

Optimization of Sound Absorption and Insulation Performances of a Dual-Cavity Resonant Micro-Perforated Plate

This study investigates a dual-cavity resonant composite sound-absorbing structure based on a micro-perforated plate.Using the COMSOL impedance tube model,the effects of various structural parameters on sound absorption and sound insulation performances are analyzed.Results show that the aperture of the micro-perforated plate has the greatest influence on the sound absorption coefficient;the smaller the aperture,the greater is this coefficient.The thickness of the resonance plate has the most significant influence on the sound insulation and resonance frequency;the greater the thickness,the wider the frequency domain in which sound insulation is obtained.In addition,the effect of filling the structural cavity with porous foam ceramics has been studied,and it has been found that the porosity and thickness of the porous material have a significant effect on the sound absorption coefficient and sound insulation,while the pore size exhibits a limited influence.

Effective transmittance of Fabry–Perot cavity under non-parallel beam incidence

The Fabry–Perot(FP) resonant cavity is widely used in laser and spectroscopic measurements due to its unique interference transfer function(ITF). In the ideal case of parallel incident light, the ITF of the FP resonant cavity can be expressed by the Airy function. However, in reality, it is difficult to achieve perfect parallelism with collimated beams. In this article, a theoretical model is established for non-parallel light incidence, which assumes that the non-parallel incident light is a cone-shaped beam, and the cone angle is used to quantify the non-parallelism of the beam. The transmittance function of the FP resonant cavity under non-parallel light incidence is derived. The accuracy of the model is experimentally verified. Based on this model, the effects of divergence angle, tilt angle and FP cavity parameters(reflectivity, cavity length)on the ITF are studied. The reasons for the decrease in peak value, broadening and asymmetry of the interference peak under non-parallel light incidence are explained. It is suggested that a fine balance between the interference peak and the collimation effect of the incident light should be considered in the design and application of FP resonant cavities, especially for tilted applications such as angle-scanned spectroscopy. The research results of this article have certain significance for the design and application of FP resonant cavities.

High-performance Refractive Index Sensor Based on Photonic Crystal Single Mode Resonant Micro-cavity

An effective refractive index sensor built with square lattice photonic crystal is proposed,which can be applicable to photonic integrated circuits.Two photonic crystal waveguides rather than conventional ridge waveguides are used as entrance/exit waveguides to the micro-cavity.Three layers of photonic lattice are set between the photonic crystal waveguides and the micro-cavity to achieve both a high transmission and a high sensitivity.The plane wave method is utilized to calculate the disperse curves and the finite difference time domain scheme is employed to simulate the light propagation.At the resonant wavelength of about 1500 nm,the resonant wavelength shifts up by 0.7 nm for each increment of Δn=0.001.A transmission of more than 0.75 is observed.Although the position disorder of the photonic crystal doesn't affect the sensitivity of the sensor, the transmission reduces rapidly as the disorder increases.

Preparation of W state in resonant bimodal cavity quantum electrodynamics

A scheme is proposed for generating entangled W states with four cavity modes. In this scheme, we send a V-type three-level atom through two identical two-mode cavities in succession. After the atom exits from the second cavity, the four cavity modes are prepared in the W state. On the other hand we can obtain three-atom W states by sending three V-type three-level atoms through a two-mode cavity in turn. The present scheme does not require conditional measurement, and it is easily generalized to preparing 2n-mode W states and n-atom W states.

Complete eigenmode analysis of a ladder-type multiple-gap resonant cavity

A theoretical model is developed for calculating the eigenmodes of the multi-gap resonant cavity. The structure of concern is a kind of ladder-type circuit, offering the advantages of easy fabrication, high characteristic impedance （R/Q）, and thermal capacity in the millimeter wave to THz regime. The eigenfunction expansion method is used to establish the field expressions for the gaps and the coupling region. Then, the match conditions at the interface are employed, which leads to a group of complicate boundary equations in the form of an infinite series. To facilitate the mathematical treatments and perform a highly efficient calculation, these boundary equations are transformed into the algebraic forms through the matrix representations. Finally, the concise dispersion equation is obtained. The roots of the dispersion equation include both the axial modes in the gaps, which include the fundamental and the high-order modes, and the cavity modes in the coupling region. Extensive numerical results are presented and the behaviors of the multi-gap resonant cavity are examined.

Generation of any superposition of coherent states along a straight line via resonant atom-cavity interaction

This paper proposes a scheme for generating arbitrary superpositions of several coherent states along a straight line for a cavity mode. In the scheme, several atoms are sent through a cavity initially in a strong coherent state. The superposition of several coherent states with desired coefficients may be generated if each atom is detected in the excited state after it exits the cavity. The scheme is based on resonant atom-cavity interaction and no classical field is required during and after the atom cavity interaction. Thus, the scheme is very simple and the interaction time is very short, which is important in view of decoherence.

Resonant cavity-enhanced quantum dot field-effect transistor as a single-photon detector

A resonant cavity-enhanced （RCE） quantum dot （QD） field-effect transistor （RCEQDFET） is designed for single- photon detection in this paper. Adding distributed Bragg reflection （DBR） mirrors to the single-photon detector （SPD）, we improve the light absorption efficiency of the SPD. The effects of the reflectivity of the mirrors, the thickness and light absorption coefficient of the absorbing layer on the detector＇s light absorption efficiency are investigated, and the resonant cavity is determined by using the air/semiconductor interface as the mirror on the top. Through analyzing the relationship between the refractive index of AlxGal_xAs and A1 component, we choose A1As/Alo.15Gao.85As as the material of the mirror on the bottom. The pairs of A1As/Alo.15Gao.85As film are further determined to be 21 by calculating the reflectivity of the mirror. The detector is fabricated from semiconductor heterostructures grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The reflection spectrum, photoluminescence （PL） spectrum, photocurrent response, and channel current of the detector are tested and the results show that the RCEQDFET-SPD designed in this paper has better performances in photonic response and wavelength selection.

Implementation of n-qubit Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm using resonant interaction in cavity QED

We propose a scheme to implement the n-qubit Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm based on resonant interaction between the atoms and a single-mode cavity. In the scheme, the resonant transitions between two ground states and one excited state of an atom are changed alternately by adjusting the cavity frequency appropriately, and the operations required to complete the algorithm can be significantly simplified following the increment of the number of qubits. The implementation of the scheme in experiment would show the full power of quantum algorithm and would be significative and important for more complicated quantum algorithm in cavity quantum electrodynamics.

Properties of Optical Resonant Modes in Ⅲ-Nitride Semiconductor Micro-Cone Cavities

Arrays of Ⅲ-nitride semiconductor micro-cone cavities with a base diameter of 3.3μm were fabricated by ion beam etching.The micro-cones consist of a 58nm thick multiple quantum wells of In_(0.22)Ga_(0.78)N/In_(0.06)Ga_(0.94)N as well as a 1.5μm thick epilayer of GaN.Optical resonant modes from a single micro-cone could be clearly observed in the photoluminescence spectra at temperature up to 200 K under a pumping power density two orders of magnitude lower than that for the III-nitride semiconductor micro-disk or micro-ring cavity.Using a novel optical ray tracing method,we have figured out four main types of optical resonant cavities inside the three-dimensional micro-cone,including two Fabry-Perot(F-P)mode types as well as two Whispering Gallery mode types.The three corresponding mode spacings among the four agree perfectly with the experimental results.The advantages of this new class of micro-cavity over the other micro-cavities are discussed.These findings are expected to have impact on the design of the ultraviolet/blue micro-cavity laser diodes.

We report a new design of resonant cavity for a W-band electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR)spectrometer.An improved coupling-adjusting mechanism,which is robust,compact,and suits with both solenoid-type and split-pair magnets,is utilized on the cavity,and thus enables both continuous-wave(CW)and pulsed EPR experiments.It is achieved by a tiny metal cylinder in the iris.The coupling coefficient can be varied from 0.2 to 17.9.Furthermore,two pistons at each end of the cavity allow for adjustment of the resonant frequency.A horizontal TE_(011) geometry also makes the cavity compatible with the two frequently used types of magnets.The coupling-varying ability has been demonstrated by reflection coefficient(S_(11))measurement.CW and pulsed EPR experiments have been conducted.The performance data indicates a prospect of wide applications of the cavity in fields of physics,chemistry and biology.
