Special Issue Information

Dear colleagues,

The idea of developing oscillators, which can potentially replace electric oscillators like those based on quartz, is interesting. Since their introduction almost thirty years ago, optoelectronic oscillators (OEO) are a family of potential candidates whose performance can be expected to compete with more conventional oscillators, and even provide solutions which are less sensitive to external parameters. After years of research, considerable progress has been made in the wake of the pioneers in this field. Making miniature OEOs is a constantly improving quest. There are many challenges that researchers must overcome to achieve their goals. The miniature OEOs for the most efficient applications must satisfy conditions such as staying in very low phase noise levels, while occupying a low volume. For miniature optoelectronic resonators and OEOs intended to be integrated, it is fundamental to design and manufacture relatively robust structures on chips while ensuring high quality coefficients and consequent yields. Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers, short communications, and review articles that focus just as much on the efforts made at the level of the design as the technological obstacles that it has been necessary to remove, but also on the state-of-the-art current performances of miniature OEOs.

Looking forward to receiving your submissions!

We theoretically investigate Fano resonance in the absorption spectrum of a quantum dot (QD) based on a hybrid QD-nanomechanical resonator (QD–NR) system mediated by Majorana fermions (MFs) in superconducting iron (Fe) chains. The absorption spectra exhibit a series of asymmetric Fano line shapes, which are accompanied by the rapid normal phase dispersion and induce the optical propagation properties such as the slow light effect under suitable parametric regimes. The results indicated that the slow light induced by MFs can be obtained under different coupling regimes and different detuning regimes. Moreover, we also investigated the role of the NR, and the NR behaving as a phonon cavity enhances the slow light effect. Full article

A tunable metamaterial absorber (MMA) by reversible phase transitions in a mid-infrared regime is theoretically investigated. The absorber is composed of a molybdenum (Mo)-germanium-antimony-tellurium (Ge2Sb2Te5, GST)-Mo nanodisk structure superimposed on the GST-Al2O3 (aluminum oxide)-Mo film. Studies have shown that the combination of the inlaid metal-medium dielectric waveguide mode and the resonant cavity mode and the excitation of the propagating surface plasmon mode are the main reasons for the formation of the triple-band high absorption. Additionally, through the reversible phase change, the transition from high absorption to high reflection in the mid-infrared region is realized. The symmetry of the absorber eliminates the polarization dependence, and the near unity absorption efficiency can be maintained by incidence angles up to 60°. The presented method will enhance the functionality of the absorber and has the potential for the applications that require active control over light absorption. Full article

In this paper, a transmissive color filter with an ultra-narrow full width at half of the maximum is proposed. Exploiting a material with a high index of refraction and an extremely low extinction coefficient in the visible range allows the quality factor of the filter to be improved. Three groups of GaP/SiO2 pairs are used to form a Distributed Brag reflector in a symmetrical Fabry-Pérot cavity. A band-pass filter which is composed of ZnS/SiO2 pairs is also introduced to further promote the purity of the transmissive spectrum. The investigation manifests that a series of tuned spectrum with an ultra-narrow full width at half of the maximum in the full visible range can be obtained by adjusting the thickness of the SiO2 interlayer. The full width at half of the maximum of the transmissive spectrum can reach 2.35 nm. Simultaneously, the transmissive efficiency in the full visible range can keep as high as 0.75. Our research provides a feasible and cost-effective way for realizing filters with ultra-narrowed linewidth. Full article

High-power all-solid-state single-frequency continuous-wave (CW) lasers have been applied in basic research such as atomic physics, precision measurement, radar and laser guidance, as well as defense and military fields owing to their intrinsic advantages of high beam quality, low noise, narrow linewidth, and high coherence. With the rapid developments of sciences and technologies, the traditional single-frequency lasers cannot meet the development needs of emerging science and technology such as quantum technology, quantum measurement and quantum optics. After long-term efforts and technical research, a novel theory and technology was proposed and developed for improving the whole performance of high-power all-solid-state single-frequency CW lasers, which was implemented by actively introducing a nonlinear optical loss and controlling the stimulated emission rate (SER) in the laser resonator. As a result, the output power, power and frequency stabilities, tuning range and intensity noise of the single-frequency lasers were effectively enhanced. Full article
