We propose a theoretical design for a compact photonic crystal (PC) polarization beam splitter (PBS) based on the multimode interference (MMI) effect. The size of a conventional MMI device designed by the self-imaging principle is not compact enough; therefore, we design a compact PC PBS based on the difference of the interference effect between TE and TM modes. Within the MMI coupler, the depe...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Bi2Te3 Nanorod Nanoparticle Nanoplate Raman TEM High-crystalline 0D, 1D and 2D ultra-small Bi 2 Te 3 nanocrystals were synthesized using the pyrolysis of organ-ometallic compound method. The Bi 2 Te 3 nanocrystals was studied with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Samples synthesized at 35 °C possessed a dominant morphology of 0D nanoparticles or 1D nanorod...

We show that a rectangular metallic waveguide loaded with metamaterial elements consisting of electric-field-coupled (ELC) resonators placed at the sidewalls can operate well below the cutoff frequency of the respective unloaded waveguide. For the example considered of a waveguide with square cross-section and original TE-mode cut-off frequency at 16.67 GHz (under no loading), a TE-mode passban...

The leakage loss due to TM-TE mode coupling of TM-like whispering gallery mode in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) thin-ridge disk resonators is investigated for the first time to the best of our knowledge. We show that the propagation losses of TM-like mode in thin-ridge SOI disk resonators are significantly impacted by the radius of the disk. This behavior is predicted by a simple phenomenological ...

The creation of TE-mode photons in a three-dimensional perfectly conducting cavity with one resonantly vibrating wall is studied numerically. We show that the creation of TE-mode photons in a rectangular cavity is related to the production of massive scalar particles on a time-dependent interval. The equations of motion are solved numerically which allows to take into account the intermode coup...

On the Alcator C-Mod tokamak [Phys. Plasmas 1, 1511, (1994)], radial profiles of electron temperature (Te) and density (ne) are measured at the plasma edge with millimeter resolution Thomson scattering [Rev. Sci. Instrum. 72, 1107 (2001)]. Edge transport barriers in the high confinement regime (Hmode) exhibit Te, ne pedestals with typical widths of 2–6 mm, with the Te pedestal on average slight...

In this work, a reflection-mode TE pass polarization filter is proposed and analyzed. Guided TE-polarized waves are highly reflected at the input end of this polarizer. On the other hand guided TM-polarized waves experience very low reflection at the same input end. The TE pass polarizer is realized by adding a corrugation in cascade with a simple three layer metal-clad optical waveguide. The m...
