Hollow-Core Photonic Band Gap Fibers for Particle Acceleration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Photonic band gap (PBG) dielectric fibers with hollow cores are being studied both theoretically and experimentally for use as laser driven accelerator structures. The hollow core functions as both a longitudinal waveguide for the transverse-magnetic (TM) accelerating fields and a channel for the charged particles. The dielectric surrounding the core is permeated by a periodic array of smaller holes to confine the mode, forming a photonic crystal fiber in which modes exist in frequency pass-bands, separated by band gaps. The hollow core acts as a defect which breaks the crystal symmetry, and so-called defect, or trapped modes having frequencies in the band gap will only propagate near the defect. We describe the design of 2-D hollow-core PBG fibers to support TM defect modes with high longitudinal fields and high characteristic impedance. Using as-built dimensions of industrially-made fibers, we perform a simulation analysis of the first prototype PBG fibers specifically designed to support speed-of-light TM

متن کاملGas Sensor Based on Large Hollow-Core Photonic Bandgap Fiber
One concern in using photonic band-gap fiber (PBGF) as a gas sensor is the response time. In this type of the gas sensors, response time is the time required for gas to diffuse into the hollow-core. So considering a large hollow-core PBGF (HC-PBGF), the response time can be significantly reduced. But in the large HC-PBGF, the fundamental issue is the presence of higher order modes (HOMs). Somet...

We report a new family of hollow-core photonic crystal fibers with embedded metal wires for sensitive refractive index measurement of fluids. These fibers operate on the principle of resonant coupling of the guided core mode with the surface plasmon mode generated at the surface of metal wires embedded in the photonic crystal structure. A maximum sensitivity of 2151 nm RIU−1 (nanometer per refr...

We report the feasible design of the gas sensor based on Hollow-Core Photonic Crystal Fibers (HC-PCF) operating in the mid-IR. Hollow core photonic band gap fibres (HC-PBFs) are employed as gas cells due to their compactness, good integrability in optical systems and feasibility of long interaction lengths with gases. The challenge is in development and assembly of HC-PCF based gas cell where i...
