Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optoelectronic technology, and more specifically, to a Fano resonant refractive index sensor based on topological photonic crystal angular state coupling. Background Technology

[0002] Optical refractive index sensing technology is an important bridge connecting physical optics with chemical and biological detection applications. Its core lies in detecting changes in optical parameters after light waves interact with the substance being tested, thereby achieving highly sensitive, label-free detection of the composition or concentration of a substance.

[0003] Among numerous optical sensing mechanisms, Fano resonance-based sensing schemes have attracted considerable attention due to their unique physical characteristics. The Fano resonance originates from the coherent interference between a narrow-band discrete state (often called a "dark mode") and a wide-band continuous state (often called a "bright mode"), resulting in a spectrum exhibiting a typically asymmetric, steeply varying line shape. This unique line shape makes it extremely sensitive to changes in the refractive index of the surrounding medium; even minute refractive index perturbations can induce significant shifts in the resonance peak, providing an ideal platform for achieving high-precision sensing. Simultaneously, the Fano resonance is usually accompanied by a strong field enhancement effect, effectively enhancing the interaction between light and matter, further improving the intensity of the sensing signal.

[0004] Despite the significant advantages of Fano resonance in principle, its application in practical devices still faces a fundamental challenge: stability. Generating high-quality Fano resonances typically relies on precisely defined optical modes (such as photonic crystal microcavity modes and surface plasmon resonance modes). The characteristics of these optical modes are extremely sensitive to the geometry and material properties of the structure. In actual fabrication processes, nanoscale processing errors, material inhomogeneities, or even minute impurities carried by the liquid being measured in sensing applications can easily disturb these fragile optical modes, leading to frequency shifts, linear broadening, or decreased contrast in the Fano resonance peak, severely limiting the reliability and practicality of the sensor.

[0005] In recent years, topological photonics has brought new breakthrough opportunities to the field of optical sensing. The most significant advantage of topological photonic crystals (PCs) lies in their support for topologically protected optical boundary or corner states. These optical modes are naturally immune to certain types of structural perturbations and manufacturing defects, i.e., robustness. This means that optical devices designed based on topological principles will not experience significant performance degradation due to minor processing errors or material inhomogeneities, opening new avenues for achieving highly stable and reliable sensing systems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention provides a Fano resonance refractive index sensor based on topological photonic crystal angular coupling. By integrating Fano resonance with topological photonic crystal structure, the stability and quality factor of the device are effectively improved while maintaining high sensitivity characteristics, providing a new path for reliable detection in complex environments.

[0007] The Fano resonant refractive index sensor based on topological photonic crystal angular coupling provided by this invention consists of a first photonic crystal PC1 and a second photonic crystal PC2. Both the first photonic crystal PC1 and the second photonic crystal PC2 are arranged in a hexagonal cell configuration using a kakeme lattice. The dielectric pillars in the kakeme lattice are square-sectioned, with three square dielectric pillars located at the 0°, 120°, and 240° positions of the hexagonal cell, arranged in a centrally symmetrical manner. The three square dielectric pillars are distributed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. The lattice constant of the hexagonal cell is... The distance from the center of the square dielectric pillar to the center of the unit cell in the first photonic crystal PC1 is... , It possesses topologically trivial properties; the distance from the center of the second photonic crystal PC1 dielectric pillar to the lattice center is... , It has topological nontrivial properties;

[0008] The first photonic crystal PC1 module and the second photonic crystal PC2 module are spliced ​​together with a regular hexagonal lattice boundary as the splicing interface, and the perpendicular line between the vertex and the base of the equilateral triangle formed by the centers of the dielectric pillars in their unit cells is parallel to the splicing interface, forming a topological optical waveguide.

[0009] Two mirror-symmetrical triangular regions are set in the first photonic crystal PC1 module, with the vertices of the two triangles facing each other at the center and the bases located on both sides and parallel to each other. The two triangular regions are respectively filled with second photonic crystal PC2 modules to form two triangular resonant cavities. The cell orientation of the second photonic crystal PC2 modules in the two triangular resonant cavities is the same as that of the second photonic crystal PC2 modules constituting the topological optical waveguide, and the other is opposite to that of the second photonic crystal PC2 modules constituting the topological optical waveguide.

[0010] Furthermore, the distance between the opposite vertices of the two triangular resonant cavities is ,in is the lattice constant. .

[0011] Furthermore, the side length of the triangular resonant cavity is A lattice constant, .

[0012] Furthermore, the first photonic crystal PC1 and the second photonic crystal PC2 have the same dielectric pillars, with a side length of 1 / 2 square. , .

[0013] Furthermore, square dielectric pillars of the first photonic crystal PC1 and the second photonic crystal PC2 are fabricated on a substrate with air as the background.

[0014] Furthermore, the square dielectric pillars are made of silicon, and the substrate is made of silicon or silicon dioxide.

[0015] Furthermore, the triangular resonant cavity is shaped like an equilateral triangle, with the base of the equilateral triangle intersecting with the topological light wave.

[0016] Furthermore, the lattice constant ≤ ≤ Preferably, the lattice constant is .

[0017] Furthermore, the distance M between the triangular resonant cavity and the transmission channel of the topological optical waveguide is the distance from the PC2 lattice at the vertex of the triangular structure at the center of the mirror image to the PC2 lattice on the other side of the topological optical waveguide. .

[0018] Furthermore, the scaling factor of the dielectric pillar at the apex of the triangular resonant cavity... The range of values ​​is .

[0019] The topological optical waveguide is formed by directly splicing a first photonic crystal PC1 with a topologically trivial lattice and a second photonic crystal PC2 with a topologically non-trivial lattice along a specific crystal orientation. This heterojunction interface supports topologically protected intrinsic boundary states, forming a channel capable of transmitting optical energy without backscattering loss.

[0020] The two triangular resonant cavities are constructed by using a second photonic crystal PC2 as the cavity region and being surrounded by a photonic crystal PC1. The triangular resonant cavities can excite highly localized topological angular states at their physical corners. When the two triangular resonant cavities are placed close to each other in space, their respective topological angular states will be strongly coupled through their decaying fields (evanescent fields), forming an energy-split parity-symmetric supermode.

[0021] In the Fano resonance refractive index sensor described in this invention, the two triangular resonant cavities are located on one side of a topological waveguide structure. The function of the topological waveguide is to transmit optical signals and provide a broadband continuous state (i.e., a "bright mode"); while the function of the two triangular resonant cavities is to support a pair of narrowband discrete states (i.e., "dark modes") with ultra-high Q values ​​generated by topological angular state coupling. The topological waveguide structure and the two triangular resonant cavities are laterally coupled via near-field evanescent waves. The transmitted optical field in the topological waveguide can effectively excite the topological angular state supermode in the dual-cavity system, and the resonant energy of this supermode can be fed back into the transmitted light of the topological waveguide. This interaction manifests as coherent interference between the broadband transmission spectrum (bright mode) of the topological waveguide and the narrowband resonance spectrum (dark mode) of the two triangular resonant cavities, ultimately producing a sharp and asymmetric Fano resonance valley in the transmission spectrum at the output end of the waveguide. The shape and position of this Fano resonance are extremely sensitive to the refractive index changes of the analyte covering the sensor surface, thereby achieving high-precision refractive index detection.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

[0023] 1. High Quality Factor: A high-quality resonant cavity is obtained through a topological corner coupling mechanism, which increases the Fano resonance Q value to 10. 7 This significantly improves the sensor's resolution and detection limit by a factor of two.

[0024] 2. High sensitivity and high figure of merit (FOM): Numerical data proves that its sensitivity can reach [value missing]. The quality factor (FOM) is as high as It has excellent overall sensing performance.

[0025] 3. Inherent robustness: Based on topologically protected boundary states and corner states, the sensor has natural immunity to processing defects and structural disturbances, ensuring high stability and reliability in practical applications.

[0026] 4. Flexible and controllable design: By adjusting the dual-cavity spacing parameter m, the coupling strength and Fano resonance profile can be precisely controlled, which provides convenience for optimizing sensor performance. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0048] This invention enables the realization of two crystal structures for an angularly coupled Fano resonance refractive index sensor: a first photonic crystal PC1 with topological triviality and a second photonic crystal PC2 with topological nontriviality. Both the first photonic crystal PC1 and the second photonic crystal PC2 are arranged in a hexagonal lattice structure with an air background and square silicon dielectric pillars. The dielectric pillars in the lattice are square in cross-section, with three square pillars located at 0°, 120°, and 240° of the hexagonal cell, arranged in a centrally symmetrical manner. The three square pillars are distributed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle, and the lattice constant of the hexagonal cell is given. .

The value is This represents the distance between different hexagonal lattices; the side length of the square dielectric pillar. The dielectric pillar material is silicon, with a refractive index of The background material is air, with a refractive index of .

[0051] Figure 1 The first unit cell UC1 shown in (a) (a) exhibits topologically trivial properties; (b) demonstrates the second unit cell UC2. It has topological nontrivial properties. Figure 1 In the diagram, (c) and (d) represent the band gaps of the first photonic crystal PC1 and the second photonic crystal PC2, respectively. The frequencies of the topologically trivial and topologically nontrivial photonic band gaps are approximately the same, ranging from 126.44 THz to 182.32 THz.

[0052] The topological optical waveguide is formed by directly splicing a topologically trivial lattice photonic crystal PC1 and a topologically non-trivial lattice photonic crystal PC2 along a specific crystal orientation. This heterojunction interface supports topologically protected intrinsic boundary states, forming a channel capable of transmitting optical energy without backscattering loss.

[0053] A topological waveguide is formed by splicing the first photonic crystal module PC1 and the second photonic crystal module PC2 together with a regular hexagonal lattice boundary as the splicing interface, and aligning the perpendicular line between vertex 1 and base 2 of the equilateral triangle formed by the centers of the dielectric pillars in their unit cells with the splicing interface (i.e., the optical wave transmission channel). The first photonic crystal PC1 and the second photonic crystal PC2 form an optical waveguide, and topologically protected boundary states can be formed at the splicing point. For periodic wave vectors... The system performs a scan, solves for eigenvalues, calculates the frequency of the wave, and obtains the dispersion curve of the topological waveguide structure.

Figure 2Figure (b) shows the dispersion curves of this optical waveguide structure. There are two dispersion curves within the band gap, with frequencies ranging from 153.53 THz to 156.7 THz and from 129.57 THz to 137.95 THz. Only optical signals within this frequency range can propagate along the interface, which is considered as the broadband continuous state (bright mode) of the Fano resonance.

[0054] Figure 3 (a) is a schematic diagram of the triangular resonant cavity composed of the first photonic crystal module PC1 and the second photonic crystal module PC2. PC1 surrounds PC2, and the lattices of the two photonic crystals are oriented in the same direction. (b) is a schematic diagram of the eigenmodes of the triangular resonant cavity composed of PC1 and PC2, where the circles mark the angular modes of the structure. (c) is a schematic diagram of the electric field distribution of the triangular resonant cavity composed of PC1 and PC2 at frequencies of 155.47131 THz, 155.4715 THz, and 155.47303 THz. The electric field energy is concentrated at the three corners of the triangle formed by PC2.

[0055] Both resonant cavity structures of this invention are composed of a triangular second photonic crystal PC2 surrounded by a first photonic crystal PC1. The two triangular resonant cavities are placed in mirror symmetry, and the distance between the lattice vertices of the two triangular structures is the coupling distance between the two resonant cavities. . Figure 4 As shown in (a), the side length of the triangle formed by the second photonic crystal PC2 modules is... A lattice constant, i.e., a side length of 7a, and a distance between the two triangles. To reduce the influence of the angular states at the four corners of the two base sides of the two triangular resonant cavities, we chose to enlarge the dielectric pillars at the four corners to... This structure can excite localized topological angle states at its corners. When the cavities of two resonant cavities are brought close together, their topological angle states couple, forming an even-odd symmetric supermode with an extremely high quality factor Q. The calculated distribution of its eigenmodes is as follows: Figure 3 As shown in (b), the red circles mark the angular states, and the two marks are located in the large band gap, representing two supermodes with frequencies of 154.4611 THz and 156.5636 THz. These two supermodes are considered as narrowband discrete states (dark modes) of the Fano resonance.

[0056] The Fano resonant refractive index sensor based on topological photonic crystal angular coupling described in this invention consists of a topological optical waveguide and two triangular resonant cavities located in the first photonic crystal PC1 module, as follows: Figure 4As shown, two triangular resonant cavities are located on one side of the topological waveguide structure. The function of the topological waveguide is to transmit optical signals and provide a broadband continuous state (i.e., the "bright mode"); while the function of the double triangular resonant cavities is to support a pair of narrowband discrete states (i.e., the "dark mode") with ultra-high Q values ​​generated by the coupling of the topological angular states. The entire structured light is input from the upper port and output from the lower port along the direction of the arrow. The frequencies of the discrete state supermode are 154.4611 THz and 156.5636 THz, while the range of the continuous state boundary state waveguide is 153.53 THz-156.7 THz and 129.57 THz-137.95 THz. The supermode is located within the frequency band of the boundary state. Therefore, the two can couple, and the transmittance spectrum produces a valley.

[0057] The topological waveguide structure is laterally coupled to the two triangular resonant cavities via near-field evanescent waves. The transmitted optical field in the topological waveguide can effectively excite the topological angular supermode in the dual-cavity system, and the resonant energy of this supermode can be fed back into the transmitted light of the topological waveguide. This interaction manifests as coherent interference between the broadband transmission spectrum (bright mode) of the topological waveguide and the narrowband resonant spectrum (dark mode) of the two triangular resonant cavities. The optical field in the waveguide excites the topological angular supermode in the two resonant cavities through near-field evanescent coupling. After the bright mode and dark mode interfere, a sharp Fano resonance valley is generated in the waveguide transmission spectrum. Figure 6 (a) shows the electric field intensity at the resonant frequency of 156.562983 THz, with energy concentrated in the vertex region of the double triangular cavity. (b) shows the corresponding transmittance spectrum, and the transmittance data fits the Fano curve well. Figure 6 Figures (b) and (c) show the electric field intensity diagram and transmittance spectrum corresponding to the resonant frequency at 156.562983 THz.

[0058] Because the Fano resonance is very sensitive to changes in the background refractive index, the location of the resonance will also change when the background refractive index changes. Figure 7 and Figure 8 This shows the transmittance spectrum and refractive index variation as the background refractive index changes. The change value of the position of the resonance wavelength The functional relationship is shown. When the refractive index changes by Δn = 0.00010, the position of the Fano resonance valley undergoes a significant wavelength shift. Calculations show that the transmittance valley exhibits an extremely high quality factor Q, reaching as high as... and The sensitivity of the sensor at its two resonant positions. and Quality Factor and It demonstrated excellent sensing performance.

[0059] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
