Implementation and Analysis of Optical Isolation using Reciprocal and Nonreciprocal Elements
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Mehrany, Khashayar (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this thesis we study the possibility of unidirectional transmission of light using reciprocal and nonreciprocal elements. Unidirectional transmission will allow us to separate the coupling of light into and out of resonators and design unidirectional waveguides. We start by studying the effects of one-sided modulations of dielectric constant of reciprocal structures. One-sided modulation will satisfy the phase matching condition for the coupling of two waves only in one direction. Using coupled mode theory, we study one sided modulation in layered media. Next, we find the exact solution to such strucures using transfer matrix method and analyze one-sided modulation in waveguide...
Analysis of EM Wave Propagation in Inhomogeneous Time-Varying Media
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Memarian, Mohammad (Supervisor) ; Mehrany, Khashayar (Supervisor)
Abstract
Time-varying media have been in center of attention since recent years for their plethora of applications. Achieving non-reciprocity, one-way propagation, frequency modulation, and signal amplification are some applications of such media which are accessible from microwave to optical frequencies. The aim of this thesis is to first find a method for the analysis of wave propagation in homogeneous time-varying media. To this end, a new formulation is presented based on differential transfer matrices enabling us to find amplitudes, average power, and average energy of a wave in a homogeneous time-varying medium for arbitrary temporal variation of permittivity. In addition,this formulation...
Analysis and Design of Frequency Comb and Frequency Converter using Rotating Time-Periodic Metasurface
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Rejaei, Behzad (Supervisor) ; Memarian, Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
Time-varying electromagnetic structures have provided the possibility of realizing new phenomena and, as a result, new applications, which include non-reciprocity, frequency conversion, amplification, and frequency comb. Among the researches that have been done on time-varying electromagnetic structures, less has been done on the rotating time-varying structure. Rotating time variations have great advantages over other time-varying structures. One of the advantages of rotating time changes is the lack of production of many additional harmonics, which originates from the principle of rotating Doppler shift in frequency. Among its other advantages, it is possible to define a time...
