Analysis of Cylindrical Dielectric Resonators in Rectangular Cavities Using a State-Space Integral-Equation Method

2006

In this letter, a state-space integral-equation method in the s-domain has been employed for the accurate analysis of rectangular cavities loaded with cylindrical dielectric resonators. The dielectric obstacles have been treated in terms of their polarization equivalent charge and current densities. The dielectric resonator can be placed at any arbitrary position inside the cavity. The presented technique allows to calculate in a very efficient way a large number of solenoidal modes. The resonant frequencies of dielectric-loaded cavities are calculated and compared with data from literature and a commercial finite element method software, showing a good agreement

To the theory of high-power gyrotrons with uptapered resonators

2010

In high-power gyrotrons it is desirable to combine an optimal resonator length with the optimal value of the resonator quality factor. In resonators with the constant radius of the central part, the possibilities of this combination are limited because the quality factor of the resonator sharply increases with its length. Therefore the attempts to increase the length for maximizing the efficiency leads to such increase in the quality factor which makes the optimal current too small. Resonators with slightly uptapered profiles offer more flexibility in this regard. In such resonators, one can separate optimization of the interaction length from optimization of the quality factor because the …

Stability of gyrotron operation in very high-order modes

2012

This study was motivated by the desire to increase the power, which can be delivered by gyrotrons in long pulse and continuous regimes. Since the admissible power level is determined by the density of ohmic losses in resonator walls, to increase the radiated power a gyrotron should operate in higher order modes. Using an existing gyrotron developed for plasma experiments in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor as a base model, the stability of operation of such a gyrotron in modes with larger number of radial variations was studied. It is shown that the power level achievable in such gyrotrons in stable single mode regimes is close to 1.5 MW. The power level 1.7–1.8 MW can b…

Interrogation of whispering-gallery modes resonances in cylindrical microcavities by backreflection detection

2009

The excitation of whispering-gallery-mode resonances of cylindrical microcavities, using narrow fiber tapers, produces simultaneously the excitation of spiral modes. The power coupled to the spiral modes leads to a significant broadening of the dips observed in the spectrum of light transmitted through the taper. We demonstrate that whispering-gallery modes resonances of cylindrical microcavities can also be interrogated by measuring the reflection spectrum. Unlike the dips observed in transmission, the peaks in the reflection spectrum are symmetric and narrower than the corresponding transmission dips.

Analytical description of resonances in Fabry–Perot and whispering gallery mode resonators

2021

Whispering gallery mode optical resonators have attracted attention due to their simplicity and applicability for sensing. In this paper, analytical formulas are provided that describe resonance conditions in optical resonators. Basic terms (resonance wavelengths and frequencies, free spectral range, Q -factor, summation principle of Q -factors of various processes, finesse, etc.) are introduced. A description of interference of an infinite number of waves of progressively smaller amplitudes and equal phase differences is given. A description of a Fabry–Perot resonator with nonequal reflection coefficients is also given as well as analysis of all-pass and add-drop optical filters. The prese…

Density-near-zero using the acoustically induced transparency of a Fano acoustic resonator

2016

International audience; We report experimental results of near-zero mass density involving an acoustic metamaterial supporting Fano resonance. For this, we designed and fabricated an acoustic resonator with two closely coupled modes and measured its transmission properties. Our study reveals that the phenomenon of acoustically induced transparency is accompanied by an effect of near-zero density. Indeed, the dynamic effective parameters obtained from experimental data show the presence of a frequency band where the effective mass density is close to zero, with high transmission levels reaching 0.7. Furthermore, we demonstrate that such effective parameters lead to wave guiding in a 90-degre…

Modelling Optical Resonators Probed by Subwavelength Sized Optical Detectors

1996

The possibility of mapping the optical field structure inside a Fabry-Perot resonator by using a pointed optical fiber was recently reported [1]. In this contribution, we propose a simulation of such near-field optical experiments by using a two-dimensional self-consistent model. The method based on the discretization of four different domains, i.e. the two mirrors, the glass sample and the tip, allows us a meaningful description of the evolution of the full field pattern when approaching the optical detector. In particular, this computerized work supply a direct illustration of the optical energy tranfer occurring when the tip enters the near-field zone. In this context, different tip desi…

Buffering optical topological data using passive Kerr resonators

2018

We experimentally demonstrate the existence of dissipative polarization domain walls, in a normally dispersive Kerr resonator. Through deterministic manipulation of the laser driving the resonator, we achieve systematic excitation and locking of the domain walls.

Multimodal reflectivity of CRIGF filters: First experimental observation and modelling

2015

International audience; Cavity Resonator Integrated Guided-mode Resonance Filter (CRIGF) are a new class of filtering reflectors whose selected wavelength and spectral width are independent of the angle of incidence unlike GMRF. These particular properties allow both compactness and a high angular acceptance. However, ours studies show that CRIGFs offer simultaneously spectral and modal filtering and we evidence high-spatial-order reflected modes. In this paper, we will present characterization of the spectral and spatial profile that demonstrates the existence of these high-order modes. In addition, we will present a model based on the physical understanding of implied phenomena to explain…
