A Method of Realizing Low-Frequency Conversion of Multi-Aspect Electromagnetic Waves Using Dirac Point Difference Frequency Effect

Abstract

The invention provides a method for implementing multi-azimuth electromagnetic wave low-frequency conversion by using a Dirac point difference frequency effect. A beam of waves with Dirac point frequency illuminates a photonic crystal array along the vertical direction; another beam of waves without Dirac point frequency penetrates in the photonic crystal array along different directions and is in a transmission state; the two beams of waves are superposed in the photonic crystal array so that difference frequency oscillation is caused; light wave energy is re-distributed; two beams of waves are converted into two beams of low-frequency signals with the same frequency along different azimuths under the effect of a difference frequency effect; and the two beams of low-frequency signals are transmitted outwards. By the method, the difference frequency effect is achieved by two beams of high-frequency incident light coming from different azimuths creatively, multi-azimuth low-frequency outgoing waves with the same frequency are obtained, and a machining process is simplified. The method has the advantages of low loss, low cost, high conversion efficiency, easiness and convenience in operation and the like, and is suitable for performing low-frequency oscillation conversion on any materials with Dirac point characteristics. Electromagnetic waves and sound waves which correspond to photonic crystal energy band structures are in a frequency conversion range.

[0056] Using the same low-frequency oscillation generating device as in Example 1, the Dirac point frequency is still ω 0 =0.54, corresponding to the actual incident frequency of 16.2GHz, the difference is that when the relative frequency of the horizontal incident wave is 0.53 which is closer to the frequency of the Dirac point, it corresponds to the actual horizontal incident frequency of 15.9GHz, the two are in the photonic crystal block In superposition, using the difference frequency effect, the detected wave form of the outgoing wave in the horizontal direction changing with time is shown in Figure 5(a), and the wave form of the detected outgoing wave in the vertical direction changing with time is shown in Figure 5(b ) shows that not only the frequencies are equal, but also the amplitudes are basically the same. The low-frequency oscillation frequency of the synthesized wave is 0.3GHz, which is more than 50 times lower than that of the incident wave.

[0058] Using the same low-frequency oscillation generating device as in Embodiment 1, the Dirac point frequency is still 16.2 GHz. The difference is that when the relative frequency of the horizontal incident wave continues to decrease, it is ω=0.48 away from the Dirac point frequency, which corresponds to the actual The frequency of the horizontal incident wave is 14.4GHz, and the two are superimposed in the photonic crystal block. Using the difference frequency effect, the detected waveforms of the horizontal and vertical outgoing waves changing with time are as follows: Image 6 As shown, the low-frequency oscillation frequency of the synthesized wave is 1.8GHz. It can be seen that the greater the frequency difference with the Dirac point frequency, the greater the frequency of the outgoing wave after modulation, and the smaller the amplitude of the outgoing wave in the vertical direction. Because the amplitude is too small, its low-frequency oscillation is basically difficu...
