Investigation of whispering gallery mode dependence on cavity geometry of quasiperiodic photonic crystal microcavity lasers

چکیده
Dodecagonal 12-fold quasiperiodic photonic crystal DQPC microcavity lasers sustaining whispering gallery mode WGM are fabricated. Lasing characteristics of DQPC D2 microcavity lasers are obtained and compared with triangular lattice D2 photonic crystal PC lasers, and ultralow threshold is obtained. The strong WGM mode dependence on 12 nearest airholes of DQPC D2 microcavity and its fabrication tolerance is investigated and discussed by randomly varying the lattice of two separate regions. This mode dependence also indicates that one can enhance a WGM in different PC microcavities by modifying the cavity boundary to be circular. © 2006 American Institute of Physics.

Photonic crystal circular-shaped microcavity and its uniform cavity-waveguide coupling property due to presence of whispering gallery mode.
In this report, we investigate a photonic crystal circular-shaped microcavity (removing seven air holes) sustaining whispering-gallery mode (WGM) by shifting the 12 nearest air holes according to the concept of cavity-shaping in micro-disk and micro-gear lasers. The WGM modal characteristics are investigated by three-dimensional (3D) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. From well-f...

We propose a new single-defect microcavity which supports well-confined whispering gallery mode in octagonal quasiphotonic crystals (OQPC) by shifting the eight nearest air holes around the cavity. Lasing action is observed and compared with the calculated results obtained using the finite-difference time-domain method. We also investigate the threshold dependence on the number of lattice perio...

The photonic band gap PBG effect and its isotropy of sunflower-type circular photonic crystal CPC are obtained and investigated from the transmission spectra performed by finite-difference time-domain FDTD method. The PBG directional width variation is found to be only 6.7%. A well-confined whispering gallery mode WGM with azimuthal number of 6 is obtained by FDTD simulation from the CPC microc...
متن کاملSecond-harmonic generation using -quasi-phasematching in a GaAs whispering-gallery-mode microcavity
The 4 crystal symmetry in materials such as GaAs can enable quasi-phasematching for efficient optical frequency conversion without poling, twinning or other engineered domain inversions. 4 symmetry means that a 90° rotation is equivalent to a crystallographic inversion. Therefore, when light circulates about the 4 axis, as in GaAs whispering-gallery-mode microdisks, it encounters effective doma...
