Abstract

All-optical logic gates have been studied intensively for their potential to enable broadband, low-loss, and high-speed communication. However, poor tunability has remained a key challenge in this field. In this paper, we propose a Y-shaped structure composed of Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) layers that can serve as tunable all-optical logic gates, including, but not limited to, OR, AND, and NOT gates, by applying external magnetic fields to magnetize the YIG layers. Our findings demonstrate that these logic gates are based on topologically protected one-way edge modes, ensuring exceptional robustness against imperfections and nonlocal effects while maintaining extremely high precision. Furthermore, the operating band of the logic gates is shown to be tunable. In addition, we introduce a straightforward and practical method for controlling and switching the logic gates between "work", "skip", and "stop" modes. These findings have important implications for the design of high-performance and precise all-optical integrated circuits.

Abstract

Epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) metamaterial with the relative permittivity approaching zero has been a hot research subject in the past decades. The wave in the ENZ region has infinite phase velocity ($v=1/\sqrt{\varepsilon\mu}$), whereas it cannot efficiently travel into the other devices or air due to the impedance mismatch or near-zero group velocity. In this paper, we demonstrate that the tunable index-near-zero (INZ) modes with vanishing wavenumbers ($k=0$) and nonzero group velocities ($v_\mathrm{g} \neq 0$) can be achieved in nonreciprocal magneto-optical systems. This kind of INZ modes has been experimentally demonstrated in the photonic crystals at Dirac point frequencies and that impedance-matching effect has been observed as well. Our theoretical analysis reveals that the INZ modes exhibit tunability when changing the parameter of the one-way (nonreciprocal) waveguides. Moreover, owing to the zero-phase-shift characteristic and decreasing $v_\mathrm{g}$ of the INZ modes, several perfect optical buffers (POBs) are proposed in the microwave and terahertz regimes. The theoretical results are further verified by the numerical simulations performed by the finite element method. Our findings may open the new avenues for research in the areas of ultra -strong or -fast nonlinearity, perfect cloaking, high-resolution holographic imaging and wireless communications.

Abstract

Unidirectionally propagating waves (UPW) such as topologically protected edge modes and surface magnetoplasmons (SMPs) has been a research hotspot in the last decades. In the study of UPW, metals are usually treated as perfect electric conductors (PECs) which, in general, are the boundary conditions. However, it was reported that the transverse resonance condition induced by the PEC wall(s) may significantly narrow up the complete one-way propagation (COWP) band. In this paper, we propose two ways to achieve ultra-broadband one-way waveguide in terahertz regime. The first way is utilizing the epsilon negative (ENG) metamaterial (MM) and the other one is replacing the PEC boundary with perfect magnetic conductor (PMC) boundary. In both conditions, the total bandwidth of the COWP bands can be efficiently broadened by more than three times. Moreover, based on the ultra-broadband one-way configurations, gradient-index metamaterial-based one-way waveguides are proposed to achieve broadband truly rainbow trapping (TRT). By utilizing the finite element method, the realization of the broadband TRT without backward reflection is verified in gradient-index structures. Besides, giant electric field enhancement is observed in a PMC-based one-way structure with an ultra-subwavelength ($\approx 10^{-4} \lambda_0$, $\lambda_0$ is the wavelength in vaccum) terminal, and the amplitude of the electric field is enormously enhanced by five orders of magnitude. Our findings are beneficial for researches on broadband terahertz communication, energy harvesting and strong-field devices.

Abstract

Slow or even stop electromagnetic (EM) waves attract researchers' attentions for its potential applications in energy storage, optical buffer and nonlinearity enhancement. However, in most cases of the EM waves trapping, the EM waves are not truly trapped due to the existence of reflection. In this paper, a novel metal-semiconductor-semiconductor-metal (MSSM) structure, and a novel truly rainbow trapping in a tapered MSSM model at terahertz frequencies are demonstrated by theoretical analysis and numerical simulations. More importantly, functional devices such as optical buffer, optical switch and optical filter are achieved in our designed MSSM structure based on truly rainbow trapping theory. Owing to the property of one-way propagation, these new types of optical devices can be high-performance and are expected to be used in integrated optical circuits.
