Based on Magnetic Plasmon States and the coupling effect, a compact low-loss one-way transmission structure is proposed. The structure is composed of a two-way transmission line channel and a one-way ferrite loop channel. The length of the structure has an inverse relationship with working frequency. By applying a static bias magnetic field, One-Way Edge States of ferrite on the surface of the loop are excited, which results in the unidirectional coupling between the two channels. Excellent forward transmission efficiency can be achieved due to the cutoff of the forward coupling. On the other hand, the good coupling of the reversed transmission ensures good isolation between the two ports of the two-way channel. To validate the design, a prototype has been fabricated and measured. Both the simulation and experiment results verify the low-loss one-way transmission property.
Stable in-phase coupled supermode operation of a ridge waveguide laser array is achieved by introducing distributed saturable absorption regions in subordinate laser cavities. Diffraction-limited single-lobed emission beams were attained up to 27 mW per laser stripe, and threshold current for the array was kept near 10 mA per laser stripe.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
