Electro- and thermo-optic effects on multi-wavelength Solc filters based on chi(2) nonlinear quasi-periodic photonic crystals.
We investigate electro- and thermo-optic effects on multi-wavelength Solc filters based on chi(2) nonlinear quasi-periodic photonic crystals. The multi-wavelength Solc filters are composed of two building blocks A and B, in which each containing a pair of antiparallel poled domains, arranged as a Fibonacci sequence. The transmittances at filtering wavelengths can be modulated from 0 to 100% by applying an external voltage but the filtering wave-lengths are unchanged. The filtering wavelengths can be tuned by varying temperature. As temperature decreases, the filtering wavelengths increase (approximately -0.45 nm/degrees C).
