Groove Shape-Dependent Absorption Enhancement Of 850 Nm Msm Photodetectors With Nano-Gratings., Narottam Das, Ayman Karar, Mikhail Vasiliev, Chee Leong Tan, Kamal Alameh, Yong Tak Lee

Mikhail Vasiliev

Finite difference time-domain (FDTD) analysis is used to investigate the light absorption enhancement factor dependence on the groove shape of the nano-gratings etched into the surfaces of metal-semiconductor-metal photodetector (MSM-PD) structures. By patterning the MSM-PDs with optimized nano-gratings a significant improvement in light absorption near the design wavelength is achieved through plasmon-assisted electric field concentration effects. Simulation results show about 50 times light absorption enhancement for 850 nm light due to improved optical signal propagation through the nano-gratings.

Three-Wave Fiber Fabry-Perot Interferometer For Simultaneous Measurement Of Temperature And Water Salinity Of Seawater, Linh Nguyen, Mikhail Vasiliev, Kamal Alameh

Mikhail Vasiliev

We report a fiber sensor for simultaneous measurement of temperature and water salinity. The proposed sensor structure is based on a three-wave Fabry-Pérot interferometer (FPI) fabricated in a single-mode optical fiber (SMF) by focused ion beam (FIB) milling. The open cavity of the three-wave FPI was filled with water under test and used as the main sensing element and the lengths of the open and silica cavity were comparable. These features of the proposed sensor lead to three groups of interference fringes with distinct sensitivities in the wavelength domain with respect to the changes in both the water salinity and …

A Novel Technique For Microstructure Characterization Of Garnet Films, P.C. Wo, P.R. Munroe, Mikhail Vasiliev, Zonghan Xie, Kamal Alameh, V.A. Kotov

Mikhail Vasiliev

Bismuth-substituted iron garnet exhibits remarkable magneto-optical properties in magnetic photonic crystal (MPC) structures, and has the potential to improve performance in optical integrated circuits for communication networks and optical sensing applications. The microstructure and thickness of these garnet films has a strong influence over their optical, magnetic and magneto-optic (MO) properties. The thickness of these films has been measured indirectly via optical interference and ellipsometry, which are unable to map thickness variations due to surface roughness of both the film and the substrate. However, little direct observation has been carried out to provide detailed information about the microstructure of the …

A new class of magneto-optic garnet nanocomposite materials is prepared using two Bi-substituted iron garnet materials of composition types (Bi,Dy) 3(Fe,Ga)5O12 and Bi3Fe 5O12. A composition adjustment approach is applied by varying the radio frequency (RF) powers driving each sputtering target during the deposition process.

Growth of multilayer thin film structures containing dielectric and metal layers using physical vapor deposition is investigated for use in applications requiring the control of thermal and solar radiation propagating through glass windows. In particular, metal-dielectric multilayer structures reflecting UV, near-infrared and thermal radiations whilst maintaining a maximum transmission in the visible range are prepared using both an E-Beam and Thermal evaporator and a RF Magnetron sputtering system. Measured transmittance spectra for the developed structures are in agreement with simulation results and demonstrate that with the use of optimum metal-dielectric layer combination it is possible to realize a coated glass …

Metal-Semiconductor-Metal (Msm) Photodetectors With Plasmonic Nanogratings, Narottam K. Das, Ayman Karar, C L Tan, Mikhail Vasiliev, Kamal Alameh, Yong Tak Lee

Mikhail Vasiliev

We discuss the light absorption enhancement factor dependence on the design of nanogratings inscribed into metal-semiconductor-metal photodetector (MSM-PD) structures. These devices are optimized geometrically, leading to light absorption improvement through plasmon-assisted effects. Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation results show ~50 times light absorption enhancement for 850 nm light due to improved optical signal propagation through the nanogratings. Also, we show that the light absorption enhancement is strongly dependent on the nanograting shapes in MSM-PDs.

Magnetic Field Sensors And Visualizers Using Magnetic Photonic Crystals, Mikhail Vasiliev, Kamal Alameh, Viatcheslav Kotov

Mikhail Vasiliev

Magneto-optical imaging is widely used to observe the domain patterns in magnetic materials, visualize defects in ferromagnetic objects, and measure the spatial distribution of stray magnetic fields. Optimized 1D magneto-photonic crystals enable a significant increase in the sensitivity of magneto-optical sensors. The properties of such devices based on the optimized reflection (doubled Faraday rotation) mode and the use of 1D magnetic photonic crystals as sensors are discussed. Experimental results of the fabrication and characterization of ferrite-garnet layers possessing uniaxial magnetic anisotropy are shown, and an optimized film structure suitable for magneto-optical imaging is proposed.

The effect of a controlled ion beam pre-treatment of (1 1 1)-oriented Gd3Ga5O12 substrates on the magneto-optical properties and surface morphology of the ultrathin bismuth-substituted yttrium–iron garnet films with a composition Bi2.8Y0.2Fe5O12 was studied. It has been shown that the observed sign inversion of magneto-optical effects (Faraday rotation and magnetic circular dichroism) observed in films that were deposited on the GGG substrate pre-treated by 1 keV and 4 keV Ar+ ion beams is a result of the substrate surface amorphization caused by the ion bombardment.

Since the 1960's, Magneto-optic (MO) garnet materials have been studied extensively. These materials can possess world-record MO performance characteristics in terms of Faraday rotation and optical quality. Among the rear-earth-doped garnets, the Bi-substituted iron garnet is the best candidate for use as a functional material in different integrated-optics, imaging/image processing applications and also in forward-looking applications e.g. the design of metamaterials with non-reciprocal properties. We have established a set of technologies for fabricating ferrimagnetic garnet films of type (BiDy)3(FeGa)5O12 and also garnet-oxide nanocomposite (BiDy)3(FeGa)5O12 : Bi2O3 layers possessing record-high MO quality across the visible spectral range using RF-magnetron sputtering and …

Mikhail Vasiliev

Experimental investigation results for the magnetic circular dichroism spectrum (MCD) of a photonic crystal (PC) are presented. We found that in the vicinity of the transmission peak within the photonic bandgap and also near the bandgap edges, the circular dichroism is measurable even in the absence of any applied magnetic field. The application of magnetic field leads to generating an additional MCD signal measurable at the wavelengths near the “defect mode” transmittance line.

Magnetic Heterostructures With Low Coercivity For High-Performance Magneto-Optic Devices, V. Kotov, A. Popkov, S. Soloviev, Mikhail Vasiliev, Kamal Alameh, Mohammad Alam, D. Balabanov

In this work, we analyse the method of forming magneto-optically active heterostructures based on magnetic layers with different magnetic properties. Layers of one type possess a high effective constant of uniaxial magnetic anisotropy for which the condition is fulfilled, where Ku is the constant of uniaxial magnetic anisotropy and is the demagnetizing energy, and layers of the second type used possess in-plane or quasi-in-plane magnetization, in which the condition holds true. The layers of the first type, which we refer to as layers of positive effective uniaxial magnetic anisotropy, may have the composition Bi2Dy1Fe4Ga1O12 and the layers of second type …

Mikhail Vasiliev

Bismuth-substituted iron garnets are considered to be the most promising magneto-optical materials because of their excellent optical transparency and very high magneto-optical figures of merit in the near-infrared spectral region. However, the practical application of garnets in the visible and short-wavelength infrared parts of spectrum is currently limited, due to their very high optical absorption (especially in sputtered films) in these spectral regions. In this paper, we identify the likely source of excess absorption observed in sputtered garnet films in comparison with epitaxial layers and demonstrate (Bi,Dy)(3)(Fe,Ga)(5)O(12): Bi(2)O(3) composites possessing record MO quality in the visible region.
