    Geometrical optimization of lithium niobate on insulator rib waveguide for quantum communication application
    Recently, thin film Lithium niobate has been recognized as an alternative material to silicon based technology due to its capability to support a broader range for quantum communication system. With the aim to operate within single photon application, we demonstrate the mode distribution, propagation constant and effective refractive indices of the Lithium Niobate on Insulator rib waveguide which operates at both fundamental wavelength, 1550 nm and second harmonic wavelength, 775 nm, respectively by using Finite Element Method. The etched depth and width of the core was varied from 340 to 400 nm and 700 to 1400 nm, respectively with the thickness of slab is fixed at 100 nm. From the result, it shows the effective refractive index increases gradually with the increment of etched depth and width of core, respectively. At second harmonic wavelength, the effective refractive indices and propagation constant shows a significant increment compare to observation at 1550 nm with an ability to produce both fundamental mode and first order mode across the structure.

    Linear and third‐order nonlinear optical absorption coefficients and relative refractive index changes in symmetric and asymmetric double triangular quantum dots are examined theoretically. The dependence of these optical properties on the magnetic field is examined. After calculating energies and wave functions within the effective mass and parabolic band approaches, analytical expressions of linear and nonlinear optical properties are obtained using the compact density matrix approach and iterative method. Numerical calculations are presented for typical GaAs/AlGaAs material. The results show that the magnetic field causes different effects on the and transitions. Moreover, the calculated results also reveal that the resonance frequency and nonlinear contribution are different in symmetric and asymmetric structures. As a result, it is concluded that the magnetic field plays a vital and important role in the electronic and optical properties of the system and can be used to tune the inter‐subband transitions and change the corresponding optical sensitivities.

    Donor impurity related linear and nonlinear optical properties of symmetric and asymmetric double triangular quantum dots
    Linear and third-order nonlinear optical absorption coefficients and relative refractive index changes in symmetric and asymmetric double triangular quantum dots are explored theoretically. The dependence of these optical properties on the presence and position of the impurity is explored. After the computation of energies and wave functions in the framework of the effective mass and parabolic band approaches, analytical formulas for linear and nonlinear optical properties are obtained using the compact density matrix technique and the iterative method. Numerical computations for a typical GaAs/AlGaAs material are presented. The results demonstrate that the donor binding energy substantially depends on the position of the impurity and the geometry of the quantum dot and the presence and position of the donor atom has various impacts on the π and σ± transitions. In addition, the estimated findings clearly reveal that the resonant frequency and the nonlinear contribution to the optical characteristics are different in symmetric and asymmetric systems. It can be inferred that the hydrogenic donor impurity plays a crucial and important function in the electrical and optical properties of the system and can be used to modify the inter-subband transitions and change the corresponding optical sensitivities.

    Generation Orbital Angular Momentum Modes Using Metasurfaces
    The purpose of this study is to investigate how numerous orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes may be produced by mixing acoustic plane beams with different metasurfaces. This study proposes a novel metasurface that may be simulated in order to generate OAM beams. Multi-beam and multi-mode terahertz wave incidence are produced utilizing vortex modes in the beams. The study of suitable OAM superpositions of waveguide eigenmodes is done using COMSOL Multiphysic, followed by a description of the software's usage and examples of challenges involved. With the existence of these studies, we can also prove that the mode can be produced completely with the results that have been studied. Based on the results obtained, an objective was achieved, which is to design the feature of the vortex beam modes. These results include the construction of a multi-functional vortex beam based on a theoretical model of phase gradient distribution. Also, by using metasurface mimics to specify a periodic structure specified by the user from the built-in unit cell, and the beam was attenuated and split into two paths inside the thin layer. Finally, the simulation process between 2D and 3D is very significant because the mesh and geometry in a design are very different, but generating a beam using COMSOL already has a specific module, namely the wave optic module, which can be used to predict the beam modes.

    We systematically demonstrate the influence of crystal orientation towards the phase matching condition in Lithium Niobate on insulator waveguide structure. The phase matching condition is one of the important elements that required prior to the development of ultracompact photonic integrated circuit. This is achieved as the effective refractive indices of fundamental mode, TE00 at pump wavelength overlapped with the second order mode, TE20 of second harmonic wavelength. With a proper selection of crystal orientation, the perfect phase matching condition is achievable over a broader telecommunication wavelength, hence, improve the efficiency of the device. In this work, we examine the phase matching interaction over the x-, y- and z- cut LNOI crystal structure. From the numerical analysis, the significant variation of phase matching width over crystal orientation is demonstrated with x-cut LNOI shows a strong ability to achieve the modal phase matching at narrower width, allowing the realization of ultracompact waveguide fabrication. Interestingly, z-cut LNOI, offers a broader range of phase matching wavelength tunability which beneficial for the development of optical modulator. Eventually, the y-cut LNOI suit for the fabrication of the wavelength-independent optical devices such as surface acoustic waveguide.

    This work is a proposition of an experimental platform to observe quantum fictitious anticentrifugal force. We present an analytical and numerical treatment of a rectangular toroidal dielectric waveguide. Solving the Helmholtz equation, we obtain analytical solutions for transverse spatial modes and estimate their number as a function of system characteristics. On top of that, the analysis of the structure is extended onto a real material platform, a thin-film lithium niobate on insulator rib waveguide. The framework presented here can be applied directly to analyze the phenomenon of quantum anticentrifugal force.

    Hand osteoarthritis is one of the most common forms of arthritis which impact millions of people worldwide. The disabling problem occurs when the protective cartilage on the boundaries of bones wear off over time. Currently, in order to identify hand osteoarthritis, special instruments namely X-ray scanning and MRI are used for the detection but it also has its limitations such as radiation exposure and can be quite costly. In this work, an optical metrology system based on digital fringe projection which comprises of an LCD projector, CCD camera and a personal computer has been developed to anticipate abnormal growth or deformation on the joints of the hand which are common symptoms of osteoarthritis. The main concept of this optical metrology system is to apply structured light as imaging source for surface change detection. The imaging source utilizes fringe patterns generated by C++ programming and is shifted by 3 phase shifts based on the 3 steps 2 shifts method. Phase wrapping technique and analysis were applied in order to detect the deformation of live subjects. The result has demonstrated a successful method of hand deformation detection based on the pixel tracking differences of a normal and deformed state.

    The recent development of the Lithium Niobate on Insulator (LNOI) fabrication process has opened a bright future for integrating ultra-compact photonic circuits. Due to its excellent nonlinear properties, as a waveguide material, Lithium Niobate supports nonlinear optical processes including efficient sum frequency generation and second harmonic generation. To enhance these effects, precise control of mode confinement and modal phase matching is required. In this work, we engineer an LNOI waveguide to match the effective refractive indices of the fundamental mode, TE00 at the fundamental wavelength and second-order mode, TE20 at the second harmonic wavelength. As waveguide geometry plays an essential role, optimization of waveguide parameters is crucial for the design of high-performance, feasible devices. Here, we numerically engineer and characterize the influence of rib waveguide geometry parameters including etching depth, D , width, W and sidewall angle, θ on the phase matching condition. We find that the waveguide phase matching condition is most susceptible to variations in the sidewall angle. For the optimized parameter values of {D,θ}={450nm,10o} , the phase-matching wavelength tunability is achieved through the waveguide width control.
