A simple photonic device consisting of two dangling side resonators grafted at two sites on a waveguide is designed in order to obtain sharp resonant states inside the transmission gaps without introducing any defects in the structure. This results from an internal resonance of the structure when such a resonance is situated in the vicinity of a zero of transmission or placed between two zeros of transmission, the so-called Fano resonances. A general analytical expression for the transmission coefficient is given for various systems of this kind. The amplitude of the transmission is obtained following the Fano form. The full width at half maximum of the resonances as well as the asymmetric Fano parameter are discussed explicitly as function of the geometrical parameters of the system. In addition to the usual asymmetric Fano resonance, we show that this system may exhibit an electromagnetic induced transparency resonance as well as well as a particular case where such resonances collapse in the transmission coefficient. Also, we give a comparison between the phase of the determinant of the scattering matrix, the so-called Friedel phase, and the phase of the transmission amplitude. The analytical results are obtained by means of the Green's function method, whereas the experiments are carried out using coaxial cables in the radio-frequency regime. These results should have important consequences for designing integrated devices such as narrow-frequency optical or microwave filters and high-speed switches. This system is proposed as a simpler alternative to coupled-micoresonators.
We give an analytical and experimental demonstration of a classical analogue of the electromagnetic induced absorption (EIA) in a simple photonic device consisting of two stubs of lengths d1 and d2 grafted at the same site along a waveguide. By detuning the lengths of the two stubs (i.e. δ = d(2) - d(1)) we show that: (i) the amplitudes of the electromagnetic waves in the two stubs can be written following the two resonators model where each stub plays the role of a radiative resonator with low Q factor. The destructive interference between the waves in the two stubs may give rise to a sharp resonance peak with high Q factor in the transmission as well as in the absorption. (ii) The transmission coefficient around the resonance induced by the stubs can be written following a Fano-like form. In particular, we give an explicit expression of the position, width and Fano parameter of the resonances as a function of δ. (iii) By taking into account the loss in the waveguides, we show that at the transmission resonance, the transmission (reflection) increases (decreases) as a function of δ. Whereas the absorption goes through a maximum around 0.5 for a threshold value δth which depends on the attenuation in the system and then falls to zero. (iv) We give a comparison between the phase of the determinant of the scattering matrix, the so-called Friedel phase and the phase of the transmission amplitude. (v) The effect of the boundary conditions at the end of the resonators on the EIA resonance is also discussed. The analytical results are obtained by means of the Green's function method, whereas the experiments are carried out using coaxial cables in the radio-frequency regime. These results should have important consequences for designing integrated devices such as narrow-frequency optical or microwave filters and high-speed switches.
We demonstrate analytically and numerically the possibility of existence of the analogues of electromagnetic induced transparency (EIT) and electromagnetic induced reflection (EIR) in a simple mesoscopic structure. The latter consists of a ring of length 2d attached vertically to two semi-infinite leads (waveguide) by a wire of length d 1 . The ring is threaded by a magnetic flux Φ, the so-called Aharonov-Bohm effect. The number of dangling wire-ring resonators attached at the same point can be increased to N. First, we demonstrate analytically that in the absence of the magnetic flux (Φ ¼ 0) and for particular values of d 1 , the structure may present some states that are confined in the ring and do not interact with the waveguide states. These trapped states fall in the continuum states of the two leads and therefore represent bound in continuum (BIC) states. These states are characterized by a zero width resonance (i.e., infinite life-time) in the transmission and reflection spectra. In presence of a weak magnetic flux (Φ 6 ¼ 0), the BIC states transform to EIT or EIR resonances for specific values of the lengths d 1 and d of the wire and the ring respectively. In addition to the numerical results, we have developed Taylor expansion calculations of the transmission and reflection coefficients around EIT and EIR resonances to show that the latter can be written following a Fano shape. In particular, we have deduced the Fano parameter q and the quality factor Q of these resonances as function of N and the flux Φ. We have found that Q decreases as function of Φ for both EIT and EIR resonances, whereas it increases (decreases) as function of N for EIT (EIR) resonances. These results show the possibility of tuning EIT and EIR resonances by means of the magnetic flux Φ and the number of dangling resonators N. The effect of temperature on EIT and EIR resonances is also considered through an analysis of the Landauer-Buttiker conductance formula obtained from transmission. The theoretical results are obtained within the framework of the Green's function method which enables us to deduce analytically the dispersion relation, transmission and reflection coefficients. These results may have important applications for electronic transport in mesoscopic systems such as filters and demultiplexers.
We give an analytical and experimental demonstration of the possibility to realize a simple photonic demultiplexer based on electromagnetically induced transparency resonances. The demultiplexer consists of a Y-shaped waveguide with an input line and two output lines. Each output line contains two grafted stubs at a given position far from the input line. We derive in closed form the expressions for a selective transfer of a single propagating mode through one line keeping the other line unaffected. We illustrate the analytical and numerical results by a simple experiment carried out using coaxial cables in the radio frequency domain.
We present an analytical and experimental study of the scattering parameters in a one dimensional (1D) symmetric photonic crystal and their relation to the density of states (DOS). The 1D photonic crystal is constituted by N alternating wires and loops that are either inserted horizontally or attached vertically between the source and load on a transmission line. The complete knowledge of the scattering matrix coefficients (S i j ) allows us to access the DOS and eigenvalues of the finite periodic structure as well as the DOS and dispersion curves of an infinite periodic system. We show the usefulness of the transmission and reflection delay times and highlight their similarities and differences with respect to the DOS, in particular as a function of the absorption strength in the system. For both horizontal and vertical geometries, we show analytically that in a lossless structure, the DOS is proportional to the Friedel phase, namely the derivative of the argument of the determinant of the scattering matrix S. For a low loss system, this proportionality remains still valid with a good approximation and can be used as a practical tool to derive the DOS and therefore the dispersion curves from experimental data. Also, the absorption can be accurately extracted from the measurement of the modulus of the determinant of S. However, for increasing strength of dissipation, we show how and why these relationships cease to be valid. Still, the transmission delay time can remain an efficient tool to derive DOS even at relatively high dissipation strength. Additionally, we show that in the vertical geometry the transmission and reflection delay times exhibit negative delta peaks which are related directly to the eigenmodes of the finite system with different boundary conditions on its extremities. Our theoretical results are obtained by means of the Green's function approach, whereas the experimental demonstrations are performed using standard coaxial cables in the radio-frequency domain.
