Under the sub-wavelength condition (w < λ/2), an analytical model of light transmission and reflection through 1D metallo-dielectric gratings of real metals has been developed. It has been shown that the transmission intensity associated with the Fabry-Perot (FP) resonance of a 1D metallo-dielectric grating of a real metal decreases with the increasing grating thickness and the dielectric constant of the ridge material. Further, it has also been demonstrated that the intensity of the FP resonance increases with the increasing slit width while it is independent of the grating period (P ) and the incidence angle (when P << λ).

“…16 As a result, the multilayer concentric pattern exhibits anisotropic spectra bandpass characteristics to TE (radial polarization) and TM (radial polarization) waves, the transmittances (or refl ectances) to TE wave and TM wave would be determined by choosing the period and incline angle of the triangle corrugation, layer's thickness and numbers. In our experiment, for TE-wave PCG output coupler, the pitch of triangle groove was 500 nm, the thick of each Nb 2 O 5 /SiO 2 layer was 634 nm and total stack thickness was 5072 nm (corresponding to 8 pairs of Nb 2 O 5 /SiO 2 layers); for TM-wave PCG, the pitch of triangle groove was 500 nm, the thick of each Nb 2 O 5 /SiO 2 layer was 585 nm and total stack thickness was 2925 nm (corresponding to 5 pairs of Nb 2 O 5 /SiO 2 layers).…”

Pulsed lights with cylindrical vector symmetry were produced from an end-pumped and passively-Qswitched Nd:YAG ceramic microchip laser with a piece of Cr 4+ :YAG crystal as saturable absorber and two multilayer concentric subwavelength gratings as polarization output couplers respectively. For radially polarized output, the averaged laser power reached 450 mW with a slope effi ciency of 30.2 %. The laser pulse had a peak power of 759 W, pulse duration of 86 ns and 6.7-kHz repetition rate with a polarization degree of 97.4 % at 3.7-W absorbed pump power. For azimuthally polarized output, the laser power reached 512 mW with a slope efficiency of nearly 60 %. The pulse had 1.15-kW peak power with 40-ns duration and 11-kHz repetition rate with a polarization degree of 97.6 % at 3.9-W absorbed pump power. These results manifest a practical, high-power laser system operating with a radial or azimuthal polarization could be established in an end-pumped microchip laser resonator by combining the passive Q switch technique with polarization control function of photonic crystal grating.

We consider periodic single-photon sources with combined multiplexing in which the outputs of several time-multiplexed sources are spatially multiplexed. We give a full statistical description of such systems in order to optimize them with respect to maximal single-photon probability. We carry out the optimization for a particular scenario which can be realized in bulk optics and its expected performance is extremely good at the present state of the art. We find that combined multiplexing outperforms purely spatially or time-multiplexed sources for certain parameters only, and we characterize these cases. Combined multiplexing can have the advantages of possibly using less nonlinear sources, achieving higher repetition rates, and the potential applicability for continuous pumping. We estimate an achievable single-photon probability between 85% and 89%.
