The invention belongs to the technical field of photonic crystals, and particularly relates to an
image boundary recognition and enhancement differential device based on topological singular points and a design method thereof. The differential device is a one-dimensional
photonic crystal film, in particular to an
optical film formed by periodically arranging and overlapping primitive cells which do not translate in the x direction and the y direction in the z direction. The
photonic crystal structure has center inversion symmetry; the
primitive cell is composed of three
dielectric materials A, B and C, and the structure of the
primitive cell is written as ABCBA; the incident image frequency is set to be singular point frequency, a singular point mode in the one-dimensional
photonic crystal is excited, and boundary recognition and enhancement can be achieved at the topological singular point position. The structure and material parameters of the one-dimensional photonic
crystal are adjusted, the topological singular point of the
system is moved to an ultra-deep sub-
wavelength region, and the effect can be achieved at the deep sub-
wavelength. Through adjustment to different frequency points and angles, a wide-angle and ultra-
wideband differential device can be realized. The device is simple in structure, small in absorption, high in anti-interference capability and high in integration level.
