Optical bistability device based on nonlinear one-dimensional photonic crystals is designed and manufactured. The device has 20 periods and is made from ZnS and ZnSe layers alternately. When the incident power density reach threshold power density 1.0 × 105 W/cm2, the Ar ion laser, whose wavelength is 514.5 nm, is shifted out of the optical band gap of the one-dimensional nonlinear photonic crystals, so an optical switch is made. It also can be made into an optical bistability device. The threshold power density of the optical bistability is 1.38 × 105 W/cm2 and its switching time is about 100 ps in experiment. The experimental results are in good accordance with the theoretical ones.

Considered the model of the one-dimensional photonic crystals (1-D PCs) with double defects, the refractive indexes (n2’, n3’ and n2’’, n3’’) of the double defects were 2.0, 4.0 and 4.0, 2.0 respectively. With parameter n2=1.5, n3=2.5, by theoretical calculations with characteristic matrix method, the results shown that for a certain number (14 was taken) of layers of the 1-D PCs, when the double defects abutted, there was a defect band gap in the stop band gap, while when the double defects separated, there occurred two defect band gaps in the stop band gap; besides, with the separation of the two defects, the transmittance of the double defect band gaps decreased gradually. In addition, in this progress, the frequency range of the stop band gap has a little increase from 0.092 to 0.095.


The one-dimensional inverse electromagnetic scattering problem for the inversion of amplitude data of either linear polarization state is investigated. The method exploits the complex structure of the field scattered from a class of inhomogeneous dielectrics and enables the analytic signal to be reconstructed from measurements of the amplitude alone. The method is demonstrated and exemplified with experimental data in both transverse electric and transverse magnetic polarization states. The implications of the method as a means for regularization of scattered data are briefly discussed.

Abstract Electromagnetic (EM) absorption is the basic characteristic of materials that plays an important role in many applications such as solar cells, EM radiation protection, and stealth technology. However, under normal circumstances, the traditional medium's absorption efficiency of EM waves is limited, but the designer can operate by adjusting the structure of the medium. In this paper, the coherent perfect absorption (CPA) is introduced in the one-dimensional (1-D) non-magnetized plasma photonic crystals. Under the premise that the selected material meets the conditions (appropriate thickness and dielectric constant), the absorption amplitude at the frequency point that meets the coherent absorption conditions is greatly improved. The results show that the forward and backward EM waves that meet the CPA conditions and propagate in PPCs can increase the absorption to 99.94% and change the phase difference of the two coherent beams to control the adjustment range of the absorption efficiency to 12.60%-99.94%. In addition, the effects of plasma and collision frequency on the absorption property, and the effects of the periodic constant of dielectric layers and plasma thickness on the frequency and amplitude of coherent absorption are also presented. It is foreseeable that the idea of tunability of light absorption in photovoltaic cells is proposed in this paper, and the application of absorbers in the field of optical switching and light modulation has been further expanded.
