High-Q optical cavities in hyperuniform disordered materials
We introduce designs for high-Q photonic cavities in slab architectures in hyperuniform disordered solids displaying isotropic band gaps. Despite their disordered character, hyperuniform disordered structures have the ability to tightly confine the transverse electric-polarized radiation in slab configurations that are readily fabricable. The architectures are based on carefully designed local ...
متن کاملIsotropic band gaps and freeform waveguides observed in hyperuniform disordered photonic solids.
Recently, disordered photonic media and random textured surfaces have attracted increasing attention as strong light diffusers with broadband and wide-angle properties. We report the experimental realization of an isotropic complete photonic band gap (PBG) in a 2D disordered dielectric structure. This structure is designed by a constrained optimization method, which combines advantages of both ...
متن کاملUsing microwave and macroscopic samples of dielectric solids to study the photonic properties of disordered photonic bandgap materials.
Recently, disordered photonic materials have been suggested as an alternative to periodic crystals for the formation of a complete photonic bandgap (PBG). In this article we will describe the methods for constructing and characterizing macroscopic disordered photonic structures using microwaves. The microwave regime offers the most convenient experimental sample size to build and test PBG media...
متن کاملHyperuniform disordered terahertz quantum cascade laser
Laser cavities have been realized in various different photonic systems. One of the forefront research fields regards the investigation of the physics of amplifying random optical media. The random laser is a fascinating concept because, further to the fundamental research investigating light transport into complex media, it allows us to obtain non-conventional spectral distribution and angular...
