Abstract

The invention discloses an achieving method for dynamically controlling slow light of a photonic crystal. The method comprises the steps that a, qualitative parameters are initiated; b, under the condition of high group refractive index and low dispersion, a slow light waveguide device has a flat and wide-band slow light effect, the speed of a slow light group with the effect varies according to control of an impressed voltage in a large range, and thus the flat and wide-band slow light effect is obtained; c, a slow light effect with wide band and low dispersion is obtained under the context that ng is kept stable in the range that the absolute value of delta ng is smaller than or equal to 10%; d, the low dispersion characteristic of the slow light and the relation between the bandwidth and group refractive index are obtained; e, the refractive index change of an organic polymer with an electrooptical effect is mainly affected by a Pockels effect, and the variable amount of the refractive index is dependent on the secondary-order magnetic susceptibility of a material; f, under the effect of a light field local area, the valid secondary-order polarizability of the organic polymer is effectively improved. The achieving method solves the problems that the refractive index position and the group speed of a supported optimal wide-band slow light group cannot dynamically vary after preparation of slow light waveguide is completed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of optical technology, in particular to a method for realizing slow light of a dynamically controlled photonic crystal. Background technique [0002] The slow light effect means that the transmission of electromagnetic waves has a speed 3×10 faster than that of light in vacuum. 8 The m / s group velocity is much lower, and it can be widely used in optical delay lines, all-optical buffers, optical modulators, optical switches, and strengthening the interaction between light and matter. The slow light structure of photonic crystals, because of its small and compact structure, easy integration, easy coupling and matching with optical fiber systems, small transmission loss, and room temperature operation, can be flexibly designed to control slow light effects and other characteristics through structure and materials. Photonic crystal slow light It has unparalleled advantages in the application of all-optical communication ...
