  • 实空间中光子的局域化在基础研究和技术应用领域具有重要意义. 连续域束缚态(bound states in the continuum, BICs)为光子的局域化提供了新的机制, 其中最重要的方案之一是光子晶体. 然而光子晶体在制备过程中会不可避免地引入误差和缺陷, 动量空间表征可以分析加工误差和缺陷对于光子晶体能带特性的影响, 进而指导光子晶体器件的设计和制备. 本文设计了可见光波段的光子晶体, 通过动量空间表征观测到了连续域准束缚态(quasi-BIC), 从而在垂直方向上实现了对光子的高度局域化, 并通过调整结构参数, 实现了对光子晶体动量空间的特征调控. 进一步设计不同周期光子晶体的横向异质结构, 利用两者的能带套嵌实现了对光子水平方向上的局域化, 以此制备了品质因子与模式体积之比达到6 × 1014 cm–3的高品质光学微腔. 本研究对于光子晶体的设计以及增强光与物质相互作用具有重要意义.

     

    Photon localization is of great significance in both basic research and technical applications. Bound states in the continuum (BICs) in photonic crystal provide a new mechanism for effective photon localization. However, the imperfections and defects are inevitable in the process of fabricating photonic crystals. Momentum-space characterization is used as a powerful tool to analyze how such processing variations affect the photonic band structure, providing information for designing and fabricating photonic crystal devices. In this work, a photonic crystal in the visible light band is designed and its band structure is analyzed through FDTD simulation. The high symmetry at the point in momentum space Γ leads to a symmetry mismatch between the internal mode of the photonic crystal and the external propagation mode (radiation continuum), so that bound states with infinite lifetime appear above the light, thereby achieving the localization of photons in the vertical direction. At the same time, the angle-resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of the photonic crystal is measured through the self-built angle-resolved optical path. The weak photoluminescence of the Si3N4 substrate is coupled with the photonic crystal mode for measuring the photonic crystal band. It can be observed that the band structure is consistent with the simulation results. At the same time, the intensity of the TE1 band near the Γ point is significantly weakened compared with the intensity at the position away from the Γ point, but it is not completely eliminated. This shows that errors and defects caused in fabrication process will destroy the symmetry of the structure, causing the BIC to evolve into the quasi-BIC. The quasi-BIC mode achieves effective localization of photons in the vertical direction near the Γ point. Furthermore, a heterostructure of photonic crystals with different periods is designed to achieve lateral photon localization by utilizing the band nesting between the photonic ctystals with different periods. Through this approach, this study ultimately develops a high-quality microcavity with a ratio of impressive quality factor to mode volume of 6\times 10^14 cm–3, and achieves characteristic regulation of the momentum space of photonic crystals by adjusting the structural parameters. This research is of great significance for designing photonic crystals and studying the interaction between light and matter.
