Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of optoelectronic technology, and particularly to a design method, device, and medium of an optical filter based on topological photonic crystals. Background Art

[0002] As a core component of modern optical systems, the performance of optical filtering devices directly affects the system efficiency in fields such as optical communication, spectral analysis, and optical sensing. Traditional photonic crystal filters mainly rely on the photonic bandgap generated by periodic structures to achieve wavelength selection functions, but there are three significant technical bottlenecks: First, their filtering characteristics are highly sensitive to the incident angle, resulting in the need to strictly control the beam incident conditions in practical applications; Second, structural defects or environmental perturbations are likely to cause frequency drift of photonic localized states, reducing the system stability; Third, to achieve a high quality factor, complex resonator designs are often required, leading to an increase in device volume and limited integration.

[0003] In recent years, the development of topological photonics has provided new ideas for breaking through the above technical bottlenecks. By introducing topological band theory, researchers have found that topological edge states have the characteristics of backward scattering suppression and defect immunity. Devices such as topological lasers and topological waveguides developed based on this principle have shown better robustness than traditional devices. However, existing topological photonic devices mostly focus on waveguide applications, and there are still key challenges in the development of filtering functions: There is an inherent contradiction between the broadband transmission characteristics of topological edge states and the narrowband selection characteristics required by filters; at the same time, there is still a lack of effective solutions for organically combining topological protection characteristics and angle-insensitive characteristics.

[0068] The following will describe in detail the specific implementation manners of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The optical filter design method based on topological photonic crystals provided in this embodiment realizes the filtering function insensitive to the incident angle by constructing a photonic crystal supercell array with topological defect states and utilizing the flatness of the energy bands of the topological defect states. The following implementation steps will specifically elaborate on how to achieve this goal through key links such as the combination design of topologically non-trivial units and trivial units, Zak phase calculation, energy band regulation, and parameter optimization, and will illustrate the technical details and implementation manners of each step in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0069] According to the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although the logical order is shown in the following manufacturing method, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in a different order than here.

[0070] The present invention provides an optical filter design method based on topological photonic crystals, including the following steps:

[0071] Step S1, construct a photonic crystal slab composed of periodically arranged supercells, where the supercell includes a topologically non-trivial unit and a topologically trivial unit, the topologically non-trivial unit is surrounded by the topologically trivial unit, and both the topologically non-trivial unit and the topologically trivial unit include four air micropores, and the position distributions of the air micropores of the two are different;

[0072] First, construct a photonic crystal slab composed of periodically arranged supercells. This slab structure is the core part of the entire optical filter. The supercell consists of a topologically non-trivial unit and a topologically trivial unit, where the topologically non-trivial unit is surrounded by the topologically trivial unit to form local topological defect states, thereby achieving specific optical responses.

[0073] As Figure 1 (a) shows, the photonic crystal slab is composed of a plurality of periodically arranged photonic crystal supercells. The structure of each supercell is as Figure 1 (b) shows, and it is composed of a topologically non-trivial unit ( Figure 1 (c) left side) and the surrounding topologically trivial units ( Figure 1 (c) right side) together. The characteristic of this structure is that both the topologically non-trivial unit and the topologically trivial unit include four air micropores, but their micropore position distributions are different.

[0074] Specifically, the lattice constant a of each unit is set to 1 μm, the width w of the micropores is set to 0.34 μm, and the period of the supercell in the x and y directions is twice the lattice constant, i.e., p = 2 μm. The thickness of the photonic crystal slab is set to 0.5 μm, and the dielectric constant is 11.7 and does not vary with wavelength, i.e., it is a non-dispersive material.

[0075] In addition, the arrangement of the supercells is crucial for the overall characteristics of the filter. Figure 7 (b) shows the initially set arrangement of the supercells, where each topologically non-trivial unit is surrounded by half the area of eight topologically trivial units. This structure ensures that topological defects in the supercell can effectively form topological defect states, and the defect states can form a stable energy band structure through periodic coupling of adjacent supercells.

[0076] Step S2: Calculate the topological invariant of the topologically non-trivial unit based on the two-dimensional Zak phase to determine the two-dimensional Zak phase of the topologically non-trivial unit.

[0077] After constructing the periodically arranged photonic crystal slab, it is necessary to clarify the topological properties of the topologically non-trivial units. Topological properties are usually characterized by topological invariants, and in the photonic crystal system, the two-dimensional Zak phase is an effective topological invariant that can be used to distinguish topologically non-trivial and topologically trivial units.

[0078] As shown in the formula, the two-dimensional Zak phase is calculated by integrating the Berry connection within the first Brillouin zone (FBZ):

[0079]

[0080] Where:

[0081] P = (P x , P y ) represents the two-dimensional polarization intensity;

[0082] k = (k x , k y ) represents the wave vector;

[0083] represents the Berry connection;

[0084] It should be noted that A α (k) is the Berry connection, k = (k x , k y ) represents the wave vector, ψ k represents the eigenstate wave function, |ψ k > represents the eigenstate of the first ground state energy band, represents the wave vector k αThe partial derivative, describing the infinitesimal change of the eigenstate with k, where i represents the imaginary unit to ensure the Hermiticity of the Berry connection, α represents the directional component, x and y respectively refer to the lattice directions, and θ α is the two-dimensional Zak phase, and P α is the polarization intensity component, and ∫ FBZ is the integral over the first Brillouin zone, and Tr[A α (k)] is the trace of the Berry connection, where Tr represents taking the trace of a matrix, and dk represents integrating over the wave vectors in the first Brillouin zone.

[0085] Before calculating the two-dimensional Zak phase, it is first necessary to analyze the band structure of the photonic crystal unit. By solving the eigenmodes of the photonic crystal, the electromagnetic field distributions at different k points can be obtained, thereby calculating the Berry connection and finally obtaining the Zak phase.

[0086] According to the calculation results of the Zak phase, topological non-trivial units and topological trivial units can be distinguished:

[0087] When the Zak phase is (0, 0), the unit is in the topological trivial phase;

[0088] When the Zak phase is (π, π), the unit is in the topological non-trivial phase.

[0089] As Figure 2 shown, by performing band calculations on the photonic crystal unit, it can be found that the band structures of the two types of units are significantly different. In the frequency range from 94.6 THz to 112.7 THz (corresponding to 2.66 μm to 3.17 μm), there is an obvious band gap, and the calculated value of the Zak phase of the topological non-trivial unit is (π, π), proving its topological non-trivial characteristics, while the calculated value of the Zak phase of the topological trivial unit is (0, 0).

[0090] After clarifying the Zak phase of the topological non-trivial unit, the topological invariant can be further used to guide the subsequent design of optical devices. For example, distributing the topological non-trivial units reasonably in the supercell to ensure that topological defect states can be formed, and finally achieving high stability and high selectivity of the filter.

[0091] Step S3, determine the specific arrangement position of the topological non-trivial unit within the supercell according to the two-dimensional Zak phase of the topological non-trivial unit, so that in each supercell, a topological non-trivial defect region is formed by arranging the topological non-trivial unit, and a defect state band structure is formed through the coupling of topological defect states in adjacent supercells;

[0092] After determining the topological invariant of the topologically non-trivial unit, rationally design its layout within the supercell to form a stable topologically non-trivial defect region. The existence of the topologically non-trivial defect is the key to the operating principle of the filter, as it determines the generation of defect states and their propagation characteristics in the photonic crystal slab.

[0093] As Figure 1 (b) shows, the basic structure of the supercell consists of a topologically non-trivial unit surrounded by half-regions of multiple topologically trivial units. Since the Zak phase of the topologically non-trivial unit is (π, π), while the Zak phase of the topologically trivial unit is (0, 0), topological defect states will be generated at their adjacent interfaces. This topological defect state optically manifests as a localized resonance mode, which can support the propagation of light at specific frequencies and couple with each other between supercells to form a new defect state energy band structure.

[0094] To optimize the formation of the defect state energy band, it is necessary to consider the layout of the topologically non-trivial units in the supercell and the arrangement relationship between adjacent units. In the initial design, each supercell contains a topologically non-trivial unit and is surrounded by topologically trivial units. This structure ensures the localization of topological defects and at the same time ensures the effective coupling of defect states between different supercells to form a stable energy band structure. As Figure 3 shown, at k x = 0, among the four defect state energy bands, energy bands 3 and 4 are located within the bandgap, while the frequencies of energy bands 1 and 2 are slightly lower than the bandgap edge, indicating that their energies are mainly affected by the coupling of adjacent defect states.

[0095] The coupling strength of the defect state energy band is affected by the periodic arrangement of the supercells. To optimize the characteristics of the defect state energy band, the number of rows (columns) of topologically trivial units between adjacent topologically non-trivial units can be adjusted, as Figure 7 (a) and 7(b) show. When the interval of topologically trivial units between adjacent supercells increases to 2 or 3, the energy band structure changes significantly. Specifically:

[0096] When the number of rows (columns) is 2, energy bands 1 and 3 of the transverse electric-like mode exhibit strong frequency dispersion characteristics, while energy bands 2 and 4 are relatively flat;

[0097] When the number of rows (columns) is 3, energy bands 2 and 3 of the transverse electric-like mode exhibit strong dispersion characteristics, while energy bands 1 and 4 are relatively flat, but the flat region of energy band 1 is smaller.

[0098] After comprehensive consideration, the best choice is to set the number of rows (columns) of adjacent topologically non-trivial units to 1 to ensure sufficient coupling of defect states and at the same time maintain the flatness of the energy band in the bandgap, so that the filter can maintain a stable optical response at different incident angles.

[0099] In addition, if the spacing between adjacent fixed units remains unchanged, the band characteristics can also be optimized by adjusting the area of the topologically non-trivial defect region. As Figure 8 (a) and Figure 8 (b) show, when the topologically non-trivial defect region expands to 2×2 or 3×3, the frequency dispersion characteristics of the defect state bands change, and their band structures are respectively as Figure 8 (c) and Figure 8 (d) show. Specifically:

[0100] In the 2×2 defect region, bands 1 and 4 show strong dispersion, while bands 2 and 3 are relatively flat;

[0101] In the 3×3 defect region, bands 1, 2, and 3 show strong dispersion, while only band 4 remains flat.

[0102] Taking into account the requirements of the locality of the topological defect state and the flatness of the band, a 1×1 topologically non-trivial defect region is finally selected as the optimized design scheme. This structure can not only effectively form stable topological defect states, but also ensure that the defect state bands remain stable when the incident angle changes, achieving an efficient angle-insensitive optical filtering effect.

[0103] Through the design of this step, the reasonable layout of the topologically non-trivial units within the supercell is ensured, the formation of the topological defect state is optimized, and stable defect state bands with optical characteristics are formed through the periodic coupling between supercells.

[0104] Step S4. Based on the requirement of the flatness of the defect state band structure, adjust the width of the air microholes, analyze the relationship between the change of the band frequency position and the flatness of the band, and screen out the width value that makes the TE-like mode band present a flat requirement near the bandgap;

[0105] After completing the arrangement of the topologically non-trivial units, in order to optimize the performance of the optical filter, it is necessary to further adjust the width w of the air microholes in the photonic crystal to control the frequency position and flatness of the defect state bands. The geometric parameters of the air microholes directly affect the effective refractive index distribution of the photonic crystal, thus determining the characteristics of the band structure.

[0106] The flatness of the band is an important indicator to measure the stability of the defect state. A flat band means that the resonance frequency of the defect state changes less with the wave vector k x and thus maintains a stable optical response under excitation at different incident angles. Therefore, the goal of this step is to find the optimal parameter setting that can form a flat band near the bandgap by precisely adjusting the width w of the air microholes.

[0107] As Figure 6As shown, with different widths \(w\) of air micro - pores, the frequency distribution of the defect - state energy bands changes significantly. When \(w = 0.2\ \mu m\) (see Figure 6 (a)), the frequencies of the four defect - state energy bands are relatively low and have strong dispersion characteristics, that is, the energy bands are relatively steep, indicating that they are sensitive to the change of the incident angle and are not conducive to the stability of the optical filter. As \(w\) increases to \(0.3\ \mu m\) (see Figure 6 (b)- Figure 6 (c)), the overall frequency of the defect - state energy bands increases. At the same time, the energy bands 1, 3, and 4 of the transverse - electric - like (TE - like) mode gradually become flatter, indicating that the sensitivity of the topological defect states to the change of the incident angle is reduced at this time, which is conducive to the filter to achieve the angle - insensitive characteristic.

[0108] Further optimization analysis shows that when \(w\) is set to \(0.34\ \mu m\), the flatness of the defect - state energy bands reaches the best state. Under this setting, energy band 1 shows extremely small dispersion near the lower edge of the band gap, indicating that its resonant wavelength has a very small response to the change of the incident angle, thus achieving a stable filtering effect in a relatively large incident - angle range.

[0109] Physically, the width of the air micro - pores affects the local electromagnetic - field distribution, thus changing the equivalent refractive index of the photonic crystal, and then adjusting the energy - band structure. Increasing \(w\) will cause the overall energy band to shift to the high - frequency direction, and at the same time affect the locality of the defect states and the dispersion degree of the energy bands. Therefore, choosing an appropriate \(w\) should not only ensure that the defect - state energy bands are in an appropriate band - gap position but also ensure their flatness, so as to optimize the stability and selectivity of the optical filter.

[0110] In this step, by adjusting the width \(w\) of the air micro - pores, the frequency position and the flatness of the defect - state energy bands are optimized, so that the filter has stable transmission characteristics at different incident angles.

[0111] Step S5: Based on the width value, adjust the number of rows or columns of the topological - trivial units between adjacent topological non - trivial defects, and determine the optimal spacing parameter of the defect - state coupling strength according to the change of the energy - band dispersion characteristics;

[0112] After determining the optimal width \(w\) of the air micro - pores, it is also necessary to optimize the spacing between adjacent topological non - trivial defects to adjust the coupling strength of the topological defect states. The coupling degree of the topological defect states directly affects the dispersion characteristics of the defect - state energy bands, thus determining the angle - insensitive performance of the filter. Therefore, the goal of this step is to optimize the optimal spacing parameter between topological non - trivial defects on the premise of ensuring sufficient band - gap stability.

[0113] The coupling strength of topological defect states depends on the number of rows (columns) of topologically trivial cells between adjacent topologically non-trivial cells. When the interval between adjacent topologically non-trivial cells is small, the interaction between defect states is enhanced, leading to increased band dispersion, thereby increasing the sensitivity of the resonance frequency to the change in the incident angle. On the contrary, if the interval is too large, the coupling effect between defect states is weakened, which may lead to an increase in the localization degree of the defect state band, thus affecting the working efficiency of the filter.

[0114] As Figure 7 (a) and 7(b) show, different configurations of the number of rows (columns) of topologically trivial cells affect the morphology of the defect state band:

[0115] When the number of rows (columns) of topologically trivial cells between adjacent topologically non-trivial defects increases to 2 ( Figure 7 (c)), the dispersion characteristics of the quasi-transverse electric mode bands 1 and 3 are enhanced, while bands 2 and 4 are relatively flat. This indicates that the interaction between defect states is strong, resulting in bands 1 and 3 being more sensitive to the change in the incident angle, while bands 2 and 4 have better stability.

[0116] When the number of rows (columns) increases to 3 ( Figure 7 (d)), the quasi-transverse electric mode bands 2 and 3 exhibit stronger dispersion characteristics, while bands 1 and 4 become relatively flat, but the flat region of band 1 shrinks. This shows that after further increasing the interval, the stability of band 1 decreases, affecting the overall performance of the filter.

[0117] Based on the above analysis, by comparing at different numbers of rows (columns) of topologically trivial cells, it is found that when the interval between adjacent topologically non-trivial defects is 1 row (column) of topologically trivial cells, the best balance between band flatness and defect state localization degree is achieved. Therefore, this configuration is finally selected as the optimal spacing parameter, enabling the filter to maintain good angle-insensitive performance at different incident angles while ensuring efficient coupling of the defect state band.

[0118] Through the optimization of this step, the flatness of the topological defect state band is ensured, making the resonance wavelength of the filter change minimally under different incident angle conditions, thereby improving the stability and robustness of the optical filter.

[0119] Step S6: Perform full-wave electromagnetic simulation on the photonic crystal slab based on the optimal spacing parameter, and obtain the normalized transmission spectrum data by exciting plane waves with different incident angles in the incident plane to verify the offset of the resonance wavelength with the incident angle;

[0120] After completing the layout optimization of the topologically non-trivial unit and adjusting the coupling strength of the topological defect states, the next step is to perform full-wave electromagnetic simulation to verify the actual optical performance of the photonic crystal slab. The core objective of this simulation process is to test the resonance wavelength stability of the filter under different incident angles and quantify its angle-insensitive characteristics.

[0121] To achieve this goal, the finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD) is used for full-wave simulation to analyze the propagation characteristics of incident light in the photonic crystal slab. As Figure 4 shown, during the simulation process:

[0122] A p-polarized plane wave (the electric field component is in the plane of incidence) is introduced above the photonic crystal slab, and different incident angles θ are set for excitation; an energy monitor is placed below the photonic crystal slab to record the spectral response of the transmitted light to calculate the normalized transmission spectrum.

[0123] The simulation results show that when the incident angle θ = 0°, an obvious transmission valley (i.e., the transmittance is close to 0%) appears at a wavelength of 3.24 μm, which is exactly the optical resonance characteristic of the defect state. This phenomenon indicates that a strong local mode is formed in the defect state energy band at this wavelength, making it difficult for light of this wavelength to transmit, thus playing an optical filtering role.

[0124] When the incident angle θ changes from 0° to 30°, it is found that the change in the resonance wavelength is extremely small, only slightly shifting from 3.24 μm to 3.234 μm, indicating that this optical filter can maintain a stable spectral response within a wide range of incident angles. This characteristic benefits from the pre-optimized coupling of topological defect states, resulting in a relatively high energy band flatness, thus weakening the influence of the incident angle change on the resonance wavelength.

[0125] Further analyzing the normalized transmission spectrum (as Figure 5 shown), it can be observed that near a wavelength of 3.24 μm, as the incident angle increases from -30° to 30°: the transmittance is always lower than 10%, indicating that the filter can effectively suppress the transmission of this wavelength; the reflectance remains above 90%, further verifying that this structure has strong selectivity and high reflectivity for light of this specific wavelength.

[0126] To quantitatively measure the angle-insensitive performance of this filter, calculate the average transmittance at different incident angles <t>, and its calculation formula is as follows:

[0127]

[0128] Where: T(θ i ) is the transmittance at the incident angle θ i , N is the total number of statistically incident angles; θ i is the i-th incident angle, and the incident angle range covers -30° to 30°.

[0129] The calculation results show that the <t>The value is 3.75%, further proving its ability to maintain a low transmittance at different incident angles, that is, having good angle-insensitive filtering characteristics.

[0130] This step verifies the actual performance of the filter through full-wave electromagnetic simulation, demonstrating its ability to maintain stable resonance wavelengths and low transmittance within a wide range of incident angles. This experimental verification provides data support for subsequent optimization and actual manufacturing, and proves the feasibility of the filter design based on topological photonic crystals in applications such as optical communication and sensing.

[0131] Step S7: Based on the offset, iteratively optimize the air micropore width and the topological non-trivial defect spacing parameters to determine the structural parameters of the supercell;

[0132] After completing the full-wave electromagnetic simulation and verifying the angle-insensitive characteristics of the filter, it is necessary to further optimize the key structural parameters to ensure that the filter maintains stable optical performance under a wider range of working conditions. Specifically, this step iteratively optimizes the air micropore width w and the spacing p of the topological non-trivial defects based on the offset of the resonance wavelength to improve the flatness and stability of the defect state energy band.

[0133] First, optimize the air micropore width w. As Figure 6 shown, different w values will significantly affect the position and dispersion characteristics of the defect state energy band:

[0134] When w is too small (such as 0.2 μm), the frequency of the energy band is low and the dispersion is large, resulting in the resonance wavelength being easily affected by the change of the incident angle;

[0135] When w is too large (such as 0.4 μm), although the frequency of the energy band increases, the locality of the defect state weakens, affecting the selectivity of the filter.

[0136] Therefore, by simulating and testing the normalized transmittance spectra corresponding to different w values and calculating the resonance wavelength offset at different incident angles, finally w = 0.34 μm is selected because the energy band flatness is the best at this value, making the resonance wavelength offset of the filter within the incident angle range of -30° to 30° the smallest, only 0.006 μm, ensuring the angle-insensitive filtering characteristics.

[0137] Secondly, optimize the topological non-trivial defect spacing p. As Figure 7 shown, adjusting the number of rows (columns) of topological trivial cells between adjacent topological non-trivial defects will affect the dispersion characteristics of the defect state energy band:

[0138] When the number of rows (columns) of topological trivial cells is 2, energy bands 1 and 3 have strong dispersion, indicating that the coupling effect between defect states is too strong, making the resonance wavelength easily affected by the incident angle;

[0139] When the number of rows (columns) of topologically trivial units is 3, energy bands 2 and 3 become more dispersive, indicating that the coupling of topological defect states is too weak at this time, resulting in a decline in the filter performance.

[0140] After optimization analysis, the number of rows (columns) of topologically trivial units is finally selected as 1, that is, the spacing between adjacent topologically non-trivial defects is set to p = 2 μm, ensuring that the energy bands of defect states remain flat at the resonance wavelength of 3.24 μm, while reducing the sensitivity of the energy bands to the change of the incident angle.

[0141] In this step, by iteratively optimizing the parameters of the air micropore width and the topological defect spacing, the optimal structural parameters of the supercell are finally determined, enabling the filter to maintain a low transmittance (<10%) and a stable resonance wavelength (offset <0.006 μm) under different incident angle conditions. This optimization process ensures the high efficiency, stability, and applicability of the filter.

[0142] Step S8: Output the final design of the optical filter according to the structural parameters.

[0143] After optimizing the key parameters (the air micropore width w and the spacing p of topologically non-trivial defects), the determined structural parameters of the supercell are used to output the complete optical filter design to ensure its characteristics of high stability, low transmittance, and angle insensitivity.

[0144] First, combining the foregoing optimization results, the core structural parameters of the final optical filter are as follows:

[0145] Air micropore width: w = 0.34 μm, to ensure the flatness of the energy bands of defect states and minimize the sensitivity of the resonance wavelength to the change of the incident angle;

[0146] Spacing of topologically non-trivial defects: p = 2 μm, with only 1 row (column) of topologically trivial units spaced between adjacent topologically non-trivial defects, to maintain an appropriate coupling strength of defect states and optimize the energy band structure;

[0147] Thickness of the photonic crystal slab: h = 0.5 μm, dielectric constant ε = 11.7 (non-dispersive), to ensure the stability of the material within the target wavelength range.

[0148] Based on these parameters, a structural model of the final optical filter is generated using a three-dimensional electromagnetic simulation modeling tool, and further optimization verification is carried out:

[0149] Calculate the bandgap range and the energy bands of defect states to ensure that the filter has stable optical resonance characteristics near 3.24 μm;

[0150] Perform a normalized transmittance test (such as Figure 5 As shown, within the range of incident angles from -30° to 30°, the transmittance is always lower than 10%, and the reflectance is higher than 90%, proving the efficient optical properties of the filter.

[0151] Perform the optical resonance wavelength shift test to ensure that the resonance wavelength change is less than 0.006 μm, meeting the design requirements of the angle-insensitive filter.

[0152] Finally, based on the comprehensive optimization and simulation verification of this step, an integrated design scheme of the angle-insensitive optical filter based on topological photonic crystals is output, providing theoretical support for the physical manufacturing and experimental testing of the device. This filter can be widely applied in the fields of optical communication, optical sensing, high-precision spectral analysis, etc.
