Modelování a optimalizace komplexních vláknových difrakčních struktur / Modelling and Optimization of Complex Fiber Diffractive Structures

Helán, Radek January 2009 (has links)
The thesis discusses the fiber Bragg gratings simulations, analysis and design. In the present time, there are several methods to simulate fiber gratings response based on the stated parameters that define their dimensions and material features. However, this work deals with a different issue, that is the synthesis of the input parameters for demanded spectral responses. The main aim of the work is to achieve a synthesis method that would help to discover parameters describing advanced grating structure, based on the required spectral reflectivity. The basic demand for the parameter synthesis is an achievement of the real values in terms of the consequent production of the suggested structure. The described synthesis method considers advanced fiber grating structure as a structure of several uniform grating sections. The input parameters are estimated in steps, using the well-known direct methods in order to obtain grating responses and feedback to establish the parameters changes. The principle methods involve establishment of initial input parameter values and necessary subsequent algorithm leading to optimize the required spectral response. The initial values are calculated by a simplified model based on the coupled theory equations that are handled for the periodic disturbances in cylindrical waveguide. The following optimization uses the multiple thin film stack and transfer matrix methods. The properties of grating structure spectral reflectivity are step by step calculated while using these direct methods. Input parameters are established in the next several steps. Establishment of input parameters is done subsequently, based on the demanded and calculated output spectral reflectivity properties. Optimizing process is limited by possibilities of the grating manufacture technology. It is possible to assemble arbitrary fiber grating structure taking in term the demanded spectral response. Nevertheless, the calculated input parameters are real for the following manufacture. This method could be used to design optical band stop filter, high-pass and low-pass filters or filters for special applications.

Surface Plasmon Polariton and Wave Guide Modes in a Six Layer Thin Film Stack / Modes dans un empilement de six couches minces : plasmons polaritons de surface et guides d'onde

Achlan, Moustafa 16 May 2018 (has links)
Dans cette thèse, nous étudions les propriétés optiques d'un système multicouche (air-Au-SiO₂-Au-Ti-verre). Les interfaces sont planes et la modélisation est réalisée en utilisant les coefficients de Fresnel à l'interface et la propagation d'ondes planes dans les couches. Deux modèles sont utilisés où l'échantillon est : i) excité par une source à l'infini ; ii) excité par une source locale. Dans l'expérience que nous avons modélisée l'empilement est excité par les électrons tunnel inélastiques dans un microscope à effet tunnel (STM). Dans le modèle, le courant tunnel inélastique est remplacé par un dipôle oscillant vertical. En utilisant ces modèles, nous avons calculé les flux réfléchis (reflectance) et transmis (transmittance) d'une source de lumière à l'infini et le flux transmis de l'excitation locale. La reflectance, transmittance et le flux transmis montrent des modes plasmoniques (surface plasmon polaritons (SPP)) et photoniques (guide d'onde (WG)). A des longueurs d'onde particulières, les courbes de dispersion des SPP et WG présentent un croisement évité. Le choix des épaisseurs d'or et de silice a deux contraintes: une amplitude importante des observables et une large dépendance en longueurs d'onde du vecteur d'onde dans le plan. Nous étudions aussi l'influence des épaisseurs sur les observables. Nous avons trouvé que les observables ont des amplitudes importantes à pour une épaisseur d'or de [10, 90 nm] pour l'empilement de trois couches et de [10, 50 nm] pour celui de six couches. Les modes de guide d'onde apparaissent pour une épaisseur de la couche de silice de >190 nm. Afin de caractériser la localisation du champ dans l'empilement et déterminer la nature du mode, nous avons calculé le champ électrique en fonction de la coordonnée de pénétration z. Nous avons trouvé que pour le mode SPP le champ est localisé à l'interface Au-air, tandis que le champ électrique du guide d'onde est confiné dans la couche de silice. Les résultats théoriques présentés sont en bon accord avec les résultats des études expérimentales menées dans notre groupe. / In this thesis, we investigate the optical properties of a six-layer stack (air-Au-SiO₂-Au-Ti-glass). The interfaces are flat and the modeling is performed using elementary Fresnel expressions at the interface and plane wave propagation in the layers. Two models are used where the sample is: i) excited by a source at infinity (excitation by source at infinity (ESI)); ii) excited by a local source. In the experiments we are modeling this source consists of the inelastic tunneling electrons from a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). In our modeling this source is replaced by a vertical oscillating dipole. Using these two models one calculates the reflected (reflectance) and the transmitted (transmittance) flux from a source at infinity and the transmitted flux of a local source. Surface plasmon polariton (SPP) and wave guide (WG) modes may be identified in the reflectance, transmittance and transmitted flux. In a particular wavelength domain the SPP and WG repel each other giving rise to an avoided crossing. The choice of the gold (Au) and silica (SiO₂) thicknesses of the six-layer stack is guided by two requirements: high amplitude of the observable and wide wavelength dependence of the in-plane wave vector. We also study the influence of the gold and silica thicknesses on the observables. We find that the observables are significant for dAu[10, 90 nm] for the three and dAu[10, 50 nm] for six layer stacks and this predictive study guided the choice of the experimental sample thicknesses. The wave guide mode appears for dSiO₂ >190 nm. The electric field as a function of the penetration coordinate z is calculated in order to characterize the location of the field in the stack and to assign the nature of the modes. We observe that for the SPP the electric field is confined at the Au-air interface whereas, the electric fields corresponding to the WG mode are confined inside SiO₂ layer. Our calculations presented in this work are in good agreement with the experimental measurements performed in our group.
