Photonic valence/conduction subbands in optically generated photonic quantum wells: Tunable optical-delay line application

Abstract: It has been shown that, in the absence of a control laser field, functional photonic superstructures can act as homogeneous photonic band gap structures formed via uniform corrugations of their background refractive indexes. When some sections of these structures are illuminated with such a laser, those sections become resonant ͑active͒ photonic band structures with higher refractive index contrast, forming photonic heterostructures. In this paper we study how by controlling the phase of quantum interference p… Show more

“…13 Such photonic superstructures can be used for generation of photonic QWs with either valencelike or conductionlike bands and have device applications such as time-delay lines. 13,14 Our objective in this paper is to study generation of bonding and antibonding photonic modes using a photonic superstructure. For this we explore the striking similarities between electronic subbands in semiconductor double quantum wells ͑S-DQWs͒ and photonic subbands ͑PSB͒ in the photonic double quantum wells ͑P-DQWs͒ formed using such a structure ͑Fig.…”

“…The optical response of the S-DQW in the vicinity of the 2-3 transition was calculated using the optical Bloch equations. 13,14 Figure 3 shows ͑a͒ absorption coefficient and ͑b͒ refractive index of the 2-3 transition within a frequency range around the Bragg wavelength of the PBG. It is clear that in the absence of the control field the 2-3 transition is basically transparent with a refractive index equal to that of the background index of the S-DQW structure ͑n b ͒ ͑Fig.…”
