Modeling propagation for high-power cylindrical microwave applicators
2001
In this letter, the dispersion characteristics and energy configurations of a cylindrical partially filled waveguide or lossy multilayered rod shielded by a metallic enclosure are presented for several modes. These parameters are obtained by a numerical simulation based on the residues theory. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 30: 192–195, 2001.
Broadband telecom to mid-infrared supercontinuum generation in a dispersion-engineered silicon germanium waveguide.
2015
We demonstrate broadband supercontinuum generation (SCG) in a dispersion-engineered silicon-germanium waveguide. The 3 cm long waveguide is pumped by femtosecond pulses at 2.4 μm, and the generated supercontinuum extends from 1.45 to 2.79 μm (at the −30 dB point). The broadening is mainly driven by the generation of a dispersive wave in the 1.5–1.8 μm region and soliton fission. The SCG was modeled numerically, and excellent agreement with the experimental results was obtained.
Performance of electro-optical plasmonic ring resonators at telecom wavelengths
2012
International audience; In this work we report on the characteristics of an electro-optical dielectric-loaded surface plasmon polariton waveguide ring resonator. By doping the dielectric host matrix with an electro-optical material and designing an appropriate set of planar electrodes, we measured a 16% relative change of transmission upon application of a controlled electric field. We have analyzed the temporal response of the device and conclude that electrostriction of the host matrix is playing a dominating role in the transmission response.
Efficient excitation of dielectric-loaded surface plasmon-polariton waveguide modes at telecommunication wavelengths
2008
International audience; The excitation of surface plasmon-polariton (SPP) waveguide modes in subwavelength dielectric ridges deposited on a thin gold film has been characterized and optimized at telecommunication wavelengths. The experimental data on the electromagnetic mode structure obtained using scanning near-field optical microscopy have been directly compared to full vectorial three-dimensional finite element method simulations. Two excitation geometries have been investigated where SPPs are excited outside or inside the dielectric tapered region adjoint to the waveguide. The dependence of the efficiency of the SPP guided mode excitation on the taper opening angle has been measured an…
Vacuum Rabi Splitting and Strong-Coupling Dynamics for Surface-Plasmon Polaritons and Rhodamine 6G Molecules
2009
We report on strong coupling between surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) and Rhodamine 6G (R6G) molecules, with double vacuum Rabi splitting energies up to 230 and 110 meV. In addition, we demonstrate the emission of all three energy branches of the strongly coupled SPP-exciton hybrid system, revealing features of system dynamics that are not visible in conventional reflectometry. Finally, in analogy to tunable-Q microcavities, we show that the Rabi splitting can be controlled by adjusting the interaction time between waveguided SPPs and R6G deposited on top of the waveguide. The interaction time can be controlled with sub-fs precision by adjusting the length of the R6G area with standard lith…
Combination of finite impulse response neural network technique with FDTD method for simulation of electromagnetic problems
1996
The finite difference time domain (FDTD) method requires long computation times for simulating resonant or high-Q structures. The authors incorporate the finite impulse response neural network technique as a predictor in order to save time in FDTD simulations. The applicability of the technique is demonstrated by carrying out an analysis of a waveguide filter.
Investigation of Multipaction Phenomena in Passive Waveguide Filters for Space Applications
2006
This paper presents an investigation on multipaction risk in microwave bandpass filters. The study reveals higher multipaction risk for narrower bandpass filters. To alleviate the problem with multi-paction generation, different novel filtering structures are proposed. Results demonstrate that using the new structures multipaction risk can be reduced as much as 30% with regard to the initial design.
Efficient analysis of waveguide filters by the integral equation technique and the BI-RME method
2003
This paper presents the study of rectangular waveguide filters with rounded corners in the cross-section of the waveguides. These components are suitable for low-cost mass production and can be rigorously analyzed by efficient CAD tools. The analysis approach described in this paper is based on the integral equation technique in conjunction with the boundary integral-resonant mode expansion method. Two representative examples are also reported.
Fast and accurate analysis and design of substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) filters
2007
This paper describes the application of the boundary integral-resonant mode expansion (BI-RME) method to the accurate modelling of substrate integrated waveguides (SIW). The new formulation fully exploits the particular geometry of this class of structures, thus providing a very efficient analysis method to be used within CAD tools of SIW filters. The advantages of this method have been proved with the successful design of two filters operating in the microwave and millimeter-wave bands.
EM Based Synthesis and Design of Bandpass Waveguide Filters Including Manufacturing Effects with FEST3D
2011
This article aims at the industry interest on automated design tools that are able to take into account manufacturing effects. First, an efficient design strategy for bandpass waveguide filters including the rounded corners arising from low-cost manufacturing procedures is presented. This technique is based on a recent enhanced prototype and synthesis methodology able to consider the real structure parts. Using the resulting electromagnetic (EM)-based synthesis technique, an excellent structure is extracted, which requires, at most, only a slight final EM optimization. Second, this article presents analytical expressions providing error estimates for the different filter performances in ter…
