An efficient global optimization approach for a periodic plasmonic nanoslit array based on extraordinary optical transmission within an acceptable time range is proposed using 𝚀 factor analysis method. The particle swarm optimization is employed as a global optimization tool. The figure of merit is defined as a product of transmission peak value and 𝚀 factor. The design variables are the slit width, height, and period of the slit array, respectively. The optical properties such as transmission spectrum and bandwidth are calculated rigorously using the finite element method.

A significant enhancement of the magneto-optical Faraday rotation and extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) in the cascaded double-fishnet (CDF) structure with periodic rectangular apertures is theoretically predicted by using the extended finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The results demonstrate that the transmittance spectrum of the CDF structure has two EOT resonant peaks in a broad spectrum spanning visible to near-infrared wavebands, one of them coinciding with the enhanced Faraday rotation and large figure of merit (FOM) at the same wavelength. It is most important that the resonant position and intensity of the transmittance, Faraday rotation and FOM can be simply tailored by adjusting the incident wavelength, the thickness of the magnetic layer, and the offset between two metallic rectangular apertures, etc. Furthermore, the intrinsic physical mechanism of the resonance characteristics of the transmittance and Faraday rotation is thoroughly studied by investigating the electromagnetic field distributions at the location of resonance. It is shown that the transmittance resonance is mainly determined by different hybrid modes of surface plasmons (SPs) and plasmonic electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) behavior, and the enhancement of Faraday rotation is mostly governed by the plasmonic electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA) behavior and the conversion of the transverse magnetic (TM) mode and transverse electric (TE) mode in the magnetic dielectric layer.

본 논문에서는 특이 광 투과 현상 센서에서 보조 파장 홀 패턴에 입사되는 광원의 각도 조절을 통해 센서의 민감도를 측정 및 분석하여 이를 극대화할 수 있는 방법을 고안하였다. 입사파 광원을 평행화된 광원과 각도가 서로 다른 두 개의 집속화된 광원 총 3개의 광원을 시스템적으로 설계하여 서로 다른 각도로 보조 파장 홀 패턴에 입사되게 제작하였다. 그리고 증류수(n=1.333)와 굴절률 정합액(n=1.360, 1.380)을 사용하여 투과 스펙트럼을 측정하고 센서의 민감도를 계산한 결과 평행화된 광원을 사용하였을 때 센서의 민감도가 향상됨을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 다양한 배열을 가지는 기판에서의 특이 광 투과 센서 시스템의 센싱 성능을 조사하였다. 보조파장 홀 어레이 구조는 어레이의 주기와 격자 배열을 달리하여 제작하였고, 특이 광 투과 센서 시스템으로 제작한 기판에서의 투과 스펙트럼을 측정하였다. 굴절률이 다른 유전물질을 이용하여 투과 스펙트럼을 관찰한 결과 어레이의 주기가 증가할수록 센서의 민감도가 높아짐을 보았다. 또한 육각형 어레이에서 측정한 결과와 비교하였을 때 정사각형 어레이에서 센서의 성능이 향상됨을 입증하였다.

Graphene, two-dimensional one-atom-thick planar sheet of carbon atoms densely packed in a honeycomb crystal lattice, has grabbled appreciable attention due to its extraordinary mechanical, thermal, electrical, and optical properties. Based on the graphene's high carrier mobility, high frequency graphene field effect transistors have been developed. Graphene is useful for photonic components as well as for the applications in electronic devices. Graphene's unique optical properties allowed us to develop ultra wide-bandwidth optical modulator, photo-detector, and broadband polarizer. Graphene can support SPP-like surface wave because it is considered as a two-dimensional metal-like systems. The SPPs are associated with the coupling between collective oscillation of free electrons in the metal and electromagnetic waves. The charged free carriers in the graphene contribute to support the surface waves at the graphene-dielectric interface by coupling to the electromagnetic wave. In addition, graphene can control the surface waves because its charge carrier density is tunable by means of a chemical doping method, varying the Fermi level by applying gate bias voltage, and/or applying magnetic field. As an extended application of graphene in photonics, we investigated the characteristics of the graphene-based plasmonic waveguide for optical signal transmission. The graphene strips embedded in a dielectric are served as a high-frequency optical signal guiding medium. The TM polarization wave is transmitted 6 mm-long graphene waveguide with the averaged extinction ratio of 19 dB at the telecom wavelength of $1.31{\mu}m$. 2.5 Gbps data transmission was successfully accomplished with the graphene waveguide. Based on these experimental results, we concluded that the graphene-based plasmonic waveguide can be exploited further for development of next-generation integrated photonic circuits on a chip.

공진되는 개구와 비공진 개구로 구성되는 두 가지 형태의 FSS 구조에 대해 전부 투과되는 응답을 비교 연구하였다. 입사파가 전부 투과할 때 공진 개구의 FSS 구조는 파장 ${\lambda}$ 대 배열 주기 T의 비에 대해 비공진 개구의 FSS인 경우보다 더 큰 비를 가짐을 알 수 있었고, 또한 동작 주파수는 공진 구조를 이용함에 의해 상당히 낮출 수 있다. 이러한 물리적 상황은 현재 물리학 분야에서 널리 연구되고 있는 공진형의 특이한 광투과 현상과 유사한 성질을 지닌다고 사료된다.

Extraordinary phenomena related to the transmission of light via metallic films with subwavelength holes and grooves are known to be due to resonant excitation and interference of surface waves. These waves make various surface structures to have optically effective responses. Further, a related study subject involves the control of light transmitted from a single hole or slit by surrounding it with diffractive structures. This paper reports on the effects of controlling light with a periodic groove structure with Fresnel-type chirping. In Fresnel-type chirping, diffracted surface waves are coherently converged into a focus, and it is designed considering the conditions of constructive interference and angular spectrum optimization under the assumption that the surface waves are composite diffracted evanescent waves with a well-defined in-plane wavenumber. The focusing ability of the chirped periodic structures is confirmed experimentally by two-beam attenuated total reflection coupling. Critical factors for achieving subwavelength foci and bounds on size of focal spots are discussed in terms of the simulation, which uses the FDTD algorithm.

본 논문에서는 주기적인 구멍배열(periodic hole array, PHA) 패턴을 가진 나노금속구조 컬러필터의 문제점인 입사광의 각도에 따른 컬러필터 중심파장의 이동을 해결하기 위해 새로운 구멍 패턴인 polyperiodic hole array (PPHA)를 제시한다. 먼저 녹색파장대역 컬러필터를 만들기 위해 구멍의 직경과 주기를 정했으며 propagation length와 skin depth를 고려해 단위셀의 크기, 금속과 유전체의 두께를 설정했다. PPHA 패턴을 만들기 위해 주기적인 구멍배열을 국부적으로 회전시켜 전체적으로는 비주기적이지만 부분적으로 주기적인 패턴을 만들었다. 그 결과 PHA 패턴과 대비하여 PPHA 패턴 나노금속구조 컬러필터는 입사광각이 0°에서 30°까지 증가하였을 때 파장의 이동도가 최대 40% 개선되었다. 본 연구를 통해 나노금속구조 컬러필터의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있으며 디스플레이, 이미지 센서 등 이미징 디바이스 분야에 접목시켜 산업적으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 예상한다.

대형 단결정 육성을 위해 TSSG 법에 의해 결정성장을 시도, $8{\times}6{\times}2 mm^3$ 크기의 KLN 결정을 육성하였다. 육성된 결정으로 부터 제2고주파 발생영역에서의 이상광 굴절률 $n_e$는 조성에 따라 변화하며, 조성중의 Li량이 많을수록 감소함을 알았다. 또한 광투과 특성평가에 의해 자외영역으로 부터 적외영역에 걸쳐 광이 투과함을 관측하였으며, 자의영역에서의 투과 한도는 350nm, cut-off파장은 380nm임이 확인되었다.

The growth characteristics and properties of large size $SrAlF_5$ single crystals are described and compared with those of $BaMgF_4$. Transmission spectra in the vacuum ultraviolet wavelength region indicate a high transparency of $SrAlF_5$ (about 90% without considering surface reflection loses) down to 150 nm, on contrast to the optical loses observed for $BaMgF_4$. The ferroelectric character of $SrAlF_5$ is evidenced by the reversal of the spontaneous polarization in a hysteresis loop. The higher potential of $SrAlF_5$ in comparison with $BaMgF_4$ for the realization of all-solid-state lasers in the ultraviolet wavelength region by the quasi-phase matching (QPM) technique is pointed out. $SrAlF_5$, besides a higher grade of transparency, shows a nonlinear effective coefficient similar to that of quartz and uniaxial nature, on contrast to the one order smaller nonlinear coefficient and biaxial character of $BaMgF_4$. The refractive index of $SrAlF_5$ from the ultraviolet to the near-infrared wavelength region is measured by the minimum deviation method. The Sellmeier and Cauchy coefficients are obtained from the fits to the curves of the ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices, and the grating period for the first order QPM is estimated as a function of the wavelength. The poling periodicity for 193 nm SHG from 386 nm is $4{\mu}m$.
