High Resolution Binary Zone Plate in Double-Sided Configuration for Terahertz Radiation Focusing
摘要： A double-sided phase-reversal binary zone plate is numerically investigated and experimentally characterized at the frequency of 1 THz. The double-sided zone plate has a novel design based on a binary phase-reversal zone plate, in which the total zone thickness is split in two halves located at a distance optimized by means of numerical simulations. The samples are fabricated by a three-axis milling technique on slabs of an ultralow-loss cyclo-olefin polymer. The lenses’ characterization at the frequency of 1 THz is performed by means of a THz time-domain spectrometer, in terms of both focal length and spatial resolution. The focusing properties of the double-sided zone plate are compared with those of a conventional binary zone plate. The double-sided zone plate features 2.4 times smaller focal spot, 1.25 times higher focusing efficiency, and an approximately 10λ0 longer depth of field than the conventional binary configuration.

Terahertz Time Domain Spectroscopy of Transformer Insulation Paper after Thermal Aging Intervals
摘要： An accelerated thermal aging process was used to simulate the condition of paper insulation in transformer oil-paper systems. Optical parameters of the insulation paper after various aging intervals were analyzed with terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) over the range 0.1~ 1.8 THz. The result shows that the paper had seven absorption peaks at 0.19, 0.49, 0.82, 1.19, 1.43, 1.53, and 1.74 THz, and density functional theory of B3LYP/6-311G+ (d, p) was used to simulate the molecular dynamics of the repeating component (cellobiose) of the cellulose paper. Theoretical spectra were consistent with experiment, which had absorption peaks at 0.18, 0.82, 1.47, and 1.53 THz in the same frequency range. At the same time, the paper samples after various aging intervals had different refractive indexes, and least squares ?tting revealed a linear relationship between the degree of polymerization and the refractive index of the paper. Hence, this paper demonstrates that THz-TDS could be used to analyze the aging condition of transformer insulation paper and provides the theoretical and experimental basis for detection.

Characteristics of a Vertical Metal-Insulator-Metal Microring Cavity
摘要： We propose a vertical metal-insulator-metal (MIM) plasmonic cavity that comprises top Ag and bottom InGaAsP microring structures on an Ag substrate. A full vectorial numerical simulation was used to characterize the fundamental optical properties of the transverse-magnetic-like plasmonic whispering-gallery-modes (WGMs) excited in a variety of MIM plasmonic cavities. In addition, we exploit the controllability of far-field radiations using the single MIM microring cavity and successfully demonstrate strong directional and localized vertical radiations from the plasmonic WGMs by introducing a number of nanoscale disks along the circumference of the cavity. Our plasmonic cavity can be applied as a component of nanoscale photonic integrated circuits as well as spatially localized out-of-plane optical sensors.

Terahertz imaging for multiple reflectors using time-domain correlating synthesis method
摘要： We had proposed a correlating synthesis method for terahertz imaging using a pulse reflection mode terahertz time-domain spectrometry system. The efficiency of the method for improving the resolution and eliminating fake images was verified by numerical simulations and experiments with two metal cylinders. However, an artifact image between the two reflectors is markedly shown. Moreover, the multi-reflection and the influence of echo distortion caused by the directivity of the terahertz beam have not been discussed. For application of imaging complicated target, this paper addresses following issues: 1) multi-reflection between reflectors, as well as the effect of the direction of polarization of terahertz wave; 2) distortion of echo signals from targets distributed in a broader area, as well as the effect of concave lenses. Finally, the efficiencies of these proposals are verified by an imaging experiment with five metal cylinders.

Ultracompact ultrafast-switching-speed all-optical 4?×?2 encoder based on photonic crystal
摘要： A novel two-dimensional photonic-crystal-based all-optical encoder was designed, tested, and optimized. The structure is built on a linear square-lattice photonic crystal platform. An ultracompact, simple design occupying an area of only 128.52 μm2 is constructed, 50 % smaller than the smallest design known to date. Ultrafast switching speed with the lowest known delay time is achieved. The proposed design consists of one ring resonator with cylindrical silicon rods suspended in air. No auxiliary or bias input is required for its operation. The proposed platform is not sensitive to the applied input phase shift. Finite-difference time-domain and plane-wave expansion methods were used to analyze the structure and optimize the radius of the rods at 1.525 μm, with radius of the inner rods of 0.19a, for successful operation, resulting in ultrafast switching speed of 10 THz and shorter delay time reaching 0.1 ps. This maximum switching speed is two times faster than recent literature reports. The contrast ratio is calculated to reach an acceptable record of 7.1138 dB. The trade-off between the switching speed and contrast ratio was also examined.

Optimization of Excitation in FDTD Method and Corresponding Source Modeling
摘要： Source and excitation modeling in FDTD formulation has a significant impact on the method performance and the required simulation time. Since the abrupt source introduction yields intensive numerical variations in whole computational domain, a generally accepted solution is to slowly introduce the source, using appropriate shaping functions in time. The main goal of the optimization presented in this paper is to find balance between two opposite demands: minimal required computation time and acceptable degradation of simulation performance. Reducing the time necessary for source activation and deactivation is an important issue, especially in design of microwave structures, when the simulation is intensively repeated in the process of device parameter optimization. Here proposed optimized source models are realized and tested within an own developed FDTD simulation environment.

Characterization and Integration of Terahertz Technology within Microfluidic Platforms
摘要： In this work, the prospects of integrating terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy (TDS) within polymer-based microfluidic platforms are investigated. The work considers platforms based upon the polar polymers polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycarbonate (PC), polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and the nonpolar polymers fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), polystyrene (PS), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). The THz absorption coefficients for these polymers are measured. Two microfluidic platforms are then designed, fabricated, and tested, with one being based upon PET, as a representative high-loss polar polymer, and one being based upon UHMWPE, as a representative low-loss nonpolar polymer. It is shown that the UHMWPE microfluidic platform yields reliable measurements of THz absorption coefficients up to a frequency of 1.75 THz, in contrast to the PET microfluidic platform, which functions only up to 1.38 THz. The distinction seen here is attributed to the differing levels of THz absorption and the manifestation of differing f for the systems. Such findings can play an important role in the future integration of THz technology and polymer-based microfluidic systems.

摘要： The absorption cross section (ACS) of absorbers are measured in a reverberation chamber and the relative uncertainty of measurements is calculated. The ACS is calculated by a time-domain method at frequencies in the range 1~3GHz. The average relative uncertainty of the ACS over the frequency range in eight different configurations of absorbers and antennas, which shows good experimental stability, is 0.02 by the measurements.

Dopants Control of Electron-Hole Recombination in Cesium-Titanium Halide Double Perovskite by Time Domain Ab Initio Simulation: Co-Doping Supersedes Mono-Doping
摘要： Using nonadiabatic (NA) molecular dynamics combined with time-domain density functional theory, we simulate electron-hole recombination in pristine and doped inorganic Pb-free double perovskite Cs2TiBr6. We show that replacing the titanium and/or bromine with silicon and/or chlorine extends the charge carrier lifetime. Importantly, dopants avoid deep traps despite they do not change the fundamental bandgap of Cs2TiBr6, they decrease the NA electron-phonon coupling and accelerate decoherence, arising from the reduced overlap of electron and hole wave functions as well as fast phonon modes induced by light dopants respectively, suppressing electron-hole recombination. More importantly, co-doping can reduce the formation energy of silicon and achieve higher doping concentration, potentially increasing the lifetime further. Our study suggests a rational strategy to reduce energy losses by co-doping in design of high performance all-inorganic Pb-free perovskite solar cells.

Independent control of harmonic amplitudes and phases via a time-domain digital coding metasurface
摘要： Harmonic manipulations are important for applications such as wireless communications, radar detection and biological monitoring. A general approach to tailor the harmonics involves the use of additional amplifiers and phase shifters for the precise control of harmonic amplitudes and phases after the mixing process; however, this approach leads to issues of high cost and system integration. Metasurfaces composed of a periodic array of subwavelength resonators provide additional degrees of freedom to realize customized responses to incident light and highlight the possibility for nonlinear control by taking advantage of time-domain properties. Here, we designed and experimentally characterized a reflective time-domain digital coding metasurface, with independent control of the harmonic amplitude and phase. As the reflection coefficient is dynamically modulated in a predefined way, a large conversion rate is observed from the carrier signal to the harmonic components, with magnitudes and phases that can be accurately and separately engineered. In addition, by encoding the reflection phases of the meta-atoms, beam scanning for multiple harmonics can be implemented via different digital coding sequences, thus removing the need for intricate phase-shift networks. This work paves the way for efficient harmonic control for applications in communications, radar, and related areas.
