The laser is pumped by pulsed pumping light at 980 nm whose duty ratio is 0.05%. The active layer in photonic crystal slab is InGaAsP multiple quantum well. Light is transmitted by a photonic crystal chirp waveguide in one facet of the laser. Then the output light is coupled to a fiber and the character of laser is analysis by an optical spectrometer. It is found that single mode and multimode happens with different power of pumping light. Meanwhile the plane wave expansion and finite-difference time-domain methods are used to simulate the phenomenon of slow light.

In this regime, the conductance of photon is inversely proportional to the thickness of sample, which can be described by Dirac equation very well. Based on it, some unusual beating effects, which can be regarded as optical analogue to Zitterbewegung of relativistic electron, can also be observed near the Dirac point in a two-dimensional photonic crystal. The superiority of such a phenomenon for photons is that it can be found in different scaling structures with wide frequency regions. It can be observed by measuring the time dependence of the transmission coefficient through photonic crystal slabs. Thus, it is particularly suited for experimentally observing this effect. We have observed such a phenomenon by exact numerical simulations, confirming a long-standing theoretical prediction.","PeriodicalId":345360,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Workshop on Metamaterials","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133080893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the subdomain interfaces, Robin-type transmission condition is used to ensure the continuity of the electric and magnetic fields. The dual-primal idea with two Lagrange multipliers is introduced. The volume unknowns are reduced to interface unknowns by Gaussian elimination so that the computational complexity is reduced. For the finite periodic metamaterial arrays, each substructure can be treated as a subdomain, the geometrical repetition of the substructures can be full exploited to accelerate the simulation and reduce the memory requirement. Example of the analysis of a perfect metamaterial absorber is presented.
