Dynamics of Morphology-Dependent Resonances by Openness in Dielectric Disk for TE polarization
We have studied the dynamics of morphology-dependent resonances by openness
in a dielectric microdisk for TE polarization. For the first time, we report
that the dynamics exhibits avoided resonance crossings between inner and outer
resonances even though the corresponding billiard is integrable. Due to the
avoidance, inner and outer resonances can be exchanged and -factor of inner
resonances is strongly affected. We analyze the diverse phenomena aroused from
the dynamics including the avoided crossings.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
Boundary integral equation method for resonances in gradient index cavities designed by conformal transformation optics
In the case of two-dimensional gradient index cavities designed by the
conformal transformation optics, we propose a boundary integral equation method
for the calculation of resonant mode functions by employing a fictitious space
which is reciprocally equivalent to the physical space. Using the Green's
function of the interior region of the uniform index cavity in the fictitious
space, resonant mode functions and their far-field distributions in the
physical space can be obtained. As a verification, resonant modes in
lima\c{c}on-shaped transformation cavities were calculated and mode patterns
and far-field intensity distributions were compared with those of the same
modes obtained from the finite element method.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figure
Transformation cavities with a narrow refractive index profile
© 2021 Optical Society of America.Recently, gradient index cavities, or so-called transformation cavities, designed by conformal transformation optics, have been studied to support resonant modes with both high Q-factors and emission directionality. We propose a new, to the best of our knowledge, design method for transformation cavities to realize a narrower width of the refractive index profile, a great advantage in experimental implementations, without losing the benefits of conformal mapping. We study resonant modes with both high Q-factors and directional emission in newly designed transformation cavities, where the refractive index profile is 50% narrower than in previously proposed transformation cavities. By varying a system parameter with a fixed maximal value of the refractive index profile inside the cavity, the width of the refractive index profile narrows, the Q-factors become higher, and the near and far field patterns maintain their properties, namely, conformal whispering gallery modes and bidirectional emission, respectively.11Nsciescopu
Husimi functions at gradient index cavities designed by conformal transformation optics
Dielectric cavity systems, which have been studied extensively so far, have
uniform refractive indices of their cavities, and Husimi functions, the most widely used phase
space representation of optical modes formed in the cavities, accordingly were derived only
for these homogeneous index cavities. For the case of the recently proposed gradient index
dielectric cavities called as transformation cavities designed by optical conformal mapping,
we show that the phase space structure of resonant modes can be revealed through the
conventional Husimi functions by constructing a reciprocal virtual space. As examples, the
Husimi plots were obtained for an anisotropic whispering gallery mode (WGM) and a shortlived
mode supported in a limaçon-shaped transformation cavity. The phase space description
of the corresponding modes in the reciprocal virtual space is compatible with the far-field
directionality of the resonant modes in the physical space.
