Single scatterer Fano resonances in solid core photonic band gap fibers
Abstract:
Solid core photonic bandgap fibers (SC-PBGFs) consisting of an array of high index cylinders in a low index background and a low index defect core have been treated as a cylindrical analog of the planar anti-resonant reflecting optical waveguide (ARROW). We consider a limiting case of this model in which the cylinders in the SC-PBGF cladding are widely spaced apart, so that the SC-PBGF modal loss characteristics should resemble the antiresonant scattering properties of a single cylinder. We find that for glancing incidence, the single cylinder scattering resonances are Fano resonances, and these Fano resonances do in fact appear in the loss spectra of SC-PBGFs. We apply our analysis to enhance the core design of SC-PBGFs, specifically with an eye towards improving the mode confinement in the fundamental bandgap.

Band Formation:
When atoms are brought close together, as in a solid, these discrete energy levels begin to split due to the overlap of electron orbitals from adjacent atoms. This split occurs because of the Pauli exclusion principle, which states that no two...

Electromagnetic Waves in Matter
Consider the electromagnetic wave passing through a dielectric medium. In such a case, Maxwell's equations get modified. In Ampere's law, ε0 , the dielectric permittivity of free space is replaced with ε, the permittivity of dielectric. Also, the vacuum permeability μ0 is replaced by the permeability of the medium, μ.
Furthermore, the...
