Abstract

:
We explore the optical bistability in aperiodic parity–time-symmetric (PT-symmetric) photonic lattices that are composed of Fibonacci sequence dielectrics and graphene at terahertz frequencies. Two Fibonacci sequence dielectrics, viz. aperiodic photonic lattices, are utilized for enhancing band-edge resonances and achieving the electric field localization that can enhance the nonlinearity of graphene. Modulating the gain-loss factor of dielectrics in the PT symmetry lattices further strengthens the nonlinearity effect and, consequently, low threshold bistability is realized. The interval between the upper and lower bistability thresholds enlarges as the momentum relaxation time of graphene changes. Moreover, we show that the bistability threshold can also be flexibly tuned by modulating the graphene chemical potential. The study might be applied in photomemories and optical switches.

1. Introduction

Nonlinear optics induced by strong field has become a study hotspot, such as second or high harmonic [1,2,3,4,5], four-wave mixing [6], optical solitons [7,8,9,10], and optical bistability (OB) [11,12,13,14]. OB is one of the significant nonlinear phenomena, in which the transmission characteristics of an optical system depend on the input light intensity [11]. Of which, an input intensity corresponds to two stable resonant outputs. OB has many great application values in optical transistors [12], optical switches [13], and photomemories [14]. How to design and find appropriate structures or materials to reduce the thresholds of OB and the interval of bistability thresholds are the key problems that are to be considered at present [15,16,17]. With reference to the lattice structure of solid, people put forward the concept of photonic crystals (PCs), which provides a new approach for solving the above two problems. At the bandgap edge of PCs, the optical field localization at the defect in PCs can effectively reduce the bistability threshold [18,19]. Otherwise, graphene, which is viewed as a developing two-dimensional material, has many unique optical, mechanical, and electrical properties [20,21,22,23]. In the terahertz band, graphene not only possesses fast speed optical response and tunable conductivity, but it also owns significant nonlinear effects [24,25], which also affords a golden opportunity for the exploration of OB.
In recent studies, synthetic PCs have been widely utilized in manipulating photons to realize the miniaturization and integration of photonic devices [26,27,28,29,30]. By modulating the refractive indices of materials to form periodic distribution, it can achieve specific optical properties, such as the localization of light field [30,31,32], unidirectional transmission [33,34], directional cloaking [35], and solitons [36,37]. In the past, it mainly focused on the control of the real part for the index of refraction in periodic PCs, while, in recent years, the regulation of the imaginary part and aperiodic PCs have triggered the exploring enthusiasm of researchers [38,39,40]. A system that has loss or gain is non-Hermitian based on quantum mechanics. The eigenvalues of Hamiltonian for the Schrödinger equation generally have complex spectra. However, as the Hamiltonian satisfies parity-time (PT) symmetry, its eigenvalues are real [41]. The concept of non-Hermite can be extended to the regime of optics [42,43], and then the refractive index of PT-symmetric system obeys n(r) = n × (−r) [44,45,46,47,48]. PT-symmetric systems could induce many unique optical properties, including unidirectional invisibility [49], optical transparency [43,50], power oscillations [51], and the lateral shift of reflected light beam [52]. Otherwise, anti-PT-symmetric systems that satisfy n(r) = −n × (−r) can induce coherent perfect absorption laser points and unidirectional invisibility [53,54].
In particular, the aperiodic photonic lattices with PT symmetry support defect cavity with a high Q-factor and the energy of light field can be greatly localized at the defect [8,29]. The nonlinear refractive index of graphene is proportional to the local optical field intensity. The composite system of aperiodic PT-symmetric lattice dielectrics and graphene could therefore be used to realize low-threshold OB.
In this study, we simulate the OB of graphene that is embedded in the PT-symmetric system composed of aperiodic photonic lattice dielectrics at terahertz frequencies. Two aperiodic Fibonacci sequence dielectrics constitute a resonant cavity to form a strong local electric field. Subsequently, we show the transverse distribution of the optical field in the resonant cavity. Next, the influences of the gain-loss factor on the Q-factor of resonant cavity and OB are explored. We furthermore demonstrate that the momentum relaxation time of electrons in graphene can regulate the bistability threshold. Finally, we investigate the modulating of graphene chemical potential in the threshold of OB.

2. Aperiodic PT Symmetry Lattices

We explore the nonlinear optical properties in the aperiodic PT-symmetric lattices that were constructed by the Fibonacci sequence dielectrics. Aperiodic quasicrystals of Fibonacci multilayer dielectrics have many fascinating optical properties, such as mode beating, strong pulse stretching, and band-edge resonances [55]. The band-edge resonances can localize the electric field [56]. Moreover, the localization of field can be further enhanced by increasing the gain and loss in our PT-symmetric structure [19]. The strong resonance of cavity can greatly localized to the electric field. Therefore, the aperiodic PT-symmetric multilayers can be used to enhance the nonlinearity of graphene and achieve low-threshold optical bistability. The primitive aperiodic unit-cell dielectrics A and B are considered. The thicknesses of dielectrics A and B are da,b = λ0/4Re(na,b), where λ0 represents the midgap wavelength of aperiodic lattices with a defect and Re(na,b) are the real parties of refractive indices. Fibonacci sequences are constructed in Figure 1a based on the production rule: Fj = {Fj−1Fj−2} for j ≥ 3, with F1 = {B}, F2 = {BA} [55,57]. Integrating two Fibonacci (F6) sequence dielectrics together with graphene, in which the PT symmetry is satisfied for the whole structure, further incorporates the aperiodic PT symmetry lattices in Figure 1b. The thicknesses of dielectrics C and D are dc = db and dd = da, respectively. The indices of the refraction of dielectrics are regulated with respect to PT symmetry n(z) = n*(−z). We define the parameter q as gain-loss factor. Dielectrics A and B are MgF2 and ZnS, respectively. The gain in Fibonacci sequence dielectrics might be realized by doping Ge/Cr or nonlinear two-wave mixing [43,47,58,59], and the loss of material could result from acoustic modulators [60].
Graphene, as an ultrathin two-dimensional material, is embedded in the middle of the lattices z = 0; therefore, the addition of graphene has no effect on the PT symmetry. However, here, we view graphene as an equivalent dielectric with a thickness of dg = 0.34 nm [61,62]. The permittivity of the equivalent dielectric for graphene is expressed as εg = 1 + iσgη0/(kdg) [44], where σg is defined as the total surface conductivity of graphene. The parameter σg is composed by two parts, i.e., linear surface conductivity σ(1) and nonlinear surface conductivity σ(3)|Ez|2, where σ(3) is the nonlinear coefficient of surface conductivity. The surface conductivity can be denoted by σg = σ(1) + σ(3)|Ez|2. The Kubo formula could estimate the linear surface conductivity [63]. In this study, the incident wavelength is defined in the range of terahertz waves, and we set the temperature as T = 300 K. The incident wave is a transverse magnetic (TM) polarization wave. We can derive the transmittance T and transmission coefficient t through the transfer matrix method (TMM), as a TM wave is normally incident upon the PT-symmetric lattices [18,64].

3. Transmittance and Optical Bistability

Figure 2a gives the transmission spectrum, as a TM wave normally impinges upon the lattices that are incorporated without graphene. The transmittance is defined as T = tt*, where t is the transmission coefficient. We define the photonic bandgap of multilayers as ωgap = 4ω0arcsin|(nb − na)/(nb + na)|2/π [65], where ω0 = 2πc/λ0 (λ0 = 150 μm) is the center frequency of the bandgap. For three given gain-loss factors, such as q = 0, 0.05, and 0.1, there are seven peaks in each curve in the display range of abscissa. The abscissa represents the normalized frequency. The maxima of transmittance are denoted by P1–P7 (being labeled by blue stats) in sequence. The transmittance at P1 and P7 will be grater than 1, that is, T > 1, since the gain existing in dielectrics for the gain-loss factor q > 0. The corresponding transmittance for P7 is the largest, followed by P1. The gain in dielectrics and the PT symmetry of structure induce the transmittance to exceed 1. The maxima P1–P7 correspond to different defect modes, and the resonance of defect modes at P1 and P7 is stronger than that at other points. The transmittance of peak P7 is as high as T = 15 for q = 0.1, while the maximum transmittance of other points is T = 2. We cut the transmittance near P7 in order to make the transmittance of most other points more clear. Meanwhile, the transmittance near P7 is shown as a whole in the inset. The dotted box is used to mark the area near the P7 shown in the inset. The momentum relaxation time of graphene is τ = 0.8 ps. This order of magnitude ps for τ is often found in references. Further, it is found that the bistable threshold and threshold interval are moderate through simulation with τ = 0.8 ps, which is convenient for us to conduct image display as a typical parameter.
Figure 2b gives the corresponding transmittance for the lattices with graphene embedded in the middle. When compared with the structure without graphene, P7 is also at the maximum peak, but overall, the transmittance has gone down. Figure 2a,b show the transmittance of light in the lattices without and with graphene, respectively. The transmission curves are similar, because the aperiodic PT-symmetric lattices that cause the resonance have not changed. The addition of graphene, due to the loss of graphene, will only cause the decrease of transmittance, but it will not affect the resonance of the lattices and the distribution of mode field. Similarly, in both structures, we can enhance the transmittance by increasing the gain-loss factor. Light is reflected back and forth in the resonator. The loss in optical field energy results in a decrease of transmittance because of the loss that existed in graphene.
Figure 2c–i orderly give the corresponding transverse distributions of electric field intensity (|Ez|2) for the defect states at peaks p1–p7, such as Figure 2c corresponding to P1, Figure 2d corresponding to P2, etc. The peaks P1–P7 are all resonant states and P1 and P7 correspond to band-edge resonances. The aperiodic quasicrystals of Fibonacci multilayer dielectrics can enhance the band-edge resonances [55], which can be further enhanced by increasing the gain in our PT-symmetric structure. The mode distribution is designed to show the localization of electric field for different resonance states, that is, the electric fields are restricted in different defect layers. It can be seen from the mode distribution diagram that the resonant states of P1 and P7 originates from the central defect layer, as shown in Figure 2c,i, and the electric field distribution of these two states is more concentrated than that of other resonant states. However, when compared with P1, the resonant state of P7 is more localized to the electric field. Therefore, the nonlinear of graphene is the strongest around P7, and the threshold for realizing optical bistability is relatively low. The bistable state will be simulated near P7 in the following study. This can not only enhance the third-order equivalent nonlinear refractive index of graphene, thereby reducing the bistable thresholds, but also obtain a large transmitted light intensity.
We first give the nonlinear surface conductivity coefficient of graphene when it comes to calculating the bistable effect. We will continuously modify the nonlinear transmittance and transmission intensity through inverse TMM, and finally obtain the stable transmittance and output light intensity [9]. In this case, the dielectric constant of graphene is ε1 = 1 + iσ(1)η0/(kdg) is the linear dielectric constant and χg(3) = iσ3η0/(kdg) is the cubic volume susceptibility. The coefficient is governed by σ(3) = −3ie4V2/8πħω3μ [66,67], where V is the Fermi velocity and, here, we set it as V ≈ c/300 [28]. The equivalent dielectric constant for graphene can be denoted by two parts, viz. εg = ε1 + χg(3)|Ez|2. The calculation of nonlinear transmission is based on a nonlinear correction for the linear permittivity of dielectrics. The output electric field and magnetic field are Eo and Ho = Eo/η0, respectively. The total transfer matrix of dielectrics from the l + 1th layer to the last layer is denoted by M′ = [m′11, m′12; m′21, m′22]. The input electric field intensity of the l + 1th layer |Ez,l+1|2 = |Eo|2/T′, where T′ is the transmittance of light that impinges upon the dielectrics from the l + 1th layer.
Figure 3a plots the transmittance surface of light in the parameter space of the incident intensity of light and gain-loss factor q. The slope of transmittance curve can be negative and positive, as q and incident intensity change under considering the third-order nonlinear correction for the equivalent index of graphene. We can see that the curve of transmittance is positive for a small q ≤ 0.0275 and the slope of transmittance curve can be negative for a great q > 0.0275. Meanwhile, around the maximum transmittance in each curve with a fixed value of q, the transmittance abruptly changes with the incident light intensity. Otherwise, it shows there is a corresponding transmission curve on the transmittance surface for each gain-loss factor. The ridge of the curves family is composed by the maximum in each transmission curve. The peak value in the transmission curve is the transmittance of the defect (resonant) state. Figure 3b shows the influence of q on the maximum transmittance. It demonstrates that the maximum increases with q and the incident light intensity that calls for achieving the resonant state can be decreased as q increases.
Figure 3c is the profile of input-output intensity relation that changes with q. The bistability can occur as the gain-loss factor q > 0.0275. We call the lowest q to realize OB for the critical factor. The slope of the transmittance curve can be negative when the local electric field is strong enough and the nonlinear correction of dielectric refractive index reaches the same magnitude of the linear refractive index. At this time, the input-output curve shows bistable profiles. The white dotted line divides the focusing area in the parameter space is divided into two parts. Part I represents the non-bistable region and part II represents the bistable region. Figure 3d demonstrates the lower threshold and upper threshold for OB as the bistability occurs. It shows that OB can be obtained as q > 0.0275. It is worth noting that, as the gain-loss factor increases, the interval between the upper and lower thresholds increases. At the same time, the upper threshold bistability increases with the increase of q, while the lower threshold always decreases with the increase of q. One can see that, when compared with the case for q = 0.028, the lower threshold of bistability could be lowered by 30% for q = 0.1 with a fixed incident wavelength. Modulating the gain-loss factor q = 0.1, the lowest incident light intensity in our structure is far below the threshold in projects by means of Fano-like resonance and Fano resonance [68,69]. The lower threshold could be further decreased by enlarging q.
Figure 4a provides the peak value of transmittance at P7 in the transmission spectra for different gain-loss factor q. The curve observably demonstrates that the maximum transmittance increases with the increase of q. The blue circles denote the transmittance of light for the lattices incorporated with graphene, and the red circles presents the transmittance, as the lattices are without graphene. For the same gain-loss q, the transmittance of light that is injected in the structure with graphene is lower than that without graphene. The conductivity of graphene, the embedding graphene can lead to an increase in the reflectivity as a light impinges on the lattices, and graphene is a lossy material to light. In contrast to the absence of graphene, these two factors cause the decrease in transmittance, as the lattices contain graphene.
Figure 4b gives the Q-factor of the microcavity in the PT-symmetric photonic lattices. We define the Q-factor as the center frequency over the FWHM of the transmission peak [39]. It shows that, as the gain-loss factor increases, the Q-factor also increases. When compared with the structure without graphene, the Q-factor is larger for the lattices that were incorporated with graphene. For q = 0, the values of Q-factor for the lattices without or with graphene are Qq=0 = 519.2 and 361.9, respectively. The Q-factor increases by 35% by modulating q = 0.1 in contrast to passive systems (q = 0), as the graphene is embedded in the structure. For a resonant microcavity, the higher its quality factor, the stronger the confinement of the resonator to the light field. The Q-factors of the lattices without or with graphene are Qq=1 = 1769.1 and 783, respectively. Therefore, the restraint of light field at the defect can be tremendously enhanced by modulating the gain-loss factor. The mainly aim in bistability is to enhance the nonlinearity and sequentially to lower the threshold of bistability. Subsequently, we place a single-layer graphene at the middle of the lattices. Low-threshold OB could be achieved by increasing q.

4. Modulation of Optical Bistability

The graphene conductivity is a function of the momentum relaxation time τ, so τ affects not only the transmittance, but also the bistable properties. Figure 5a provides the transmittance of light for different momentum relaxation time. We can see that there is a peak in each spectrum. As the momentum relaxation time is longer, the maximum of transmittance is larger. That is because the loss of light in graphene is inversely proportional to the momentum relaxation time. As the input light intensity is powerful enough, the nonlinear effect on the refractive index needs to be considered. Figure 5b gives the dependence of transmittance on the incident light intensity. For some larger τ, the slope of the transmittance curve can be negative with the increase of input intensity, which indicates that the bistable phenomena will be induced. At the same time, we can see that the maximum value of nonlinear transmittance is larger than that of linear transmittance, this could be attributed to the loss of graphene is reduced when the third-order nonlinear correction for the index of graphene is counted.
Figure 5c shows the relationship between the output strength and the input strength, as the third-order nonlinear correction for the equivalent index of graphene is included, for different momentum relaxation times. For a smaller τ, the input-output relationship is linear within the given interval of input intensity. For a larger τ, the input-output curve is bistable. The most striking feature of bistability is that, as the input intensity of light enlarges, the slope of the curve changes from positive to negative and then to positive. Figure 5d demonstrates that the lower threshold and upper threshold change as the momentum relaxation time varies. It shows that the bistability occurs as the momentum relaxation time τ > 0.52 ps. Afterwards, the lower threshold and upper threshold decrease with the increase of τ, but the width between the lower and upper thresholds increases. This shows that it can improve the three-order nonlinearity of graphene and switching discrimination through increasing the time constant.
The input-output relationship of light intensity is dependent on the chemical potential in graphene. Figure 6a gives three input-output profiles of intensity for the chemical potential μ = 0.03, 0.06, and 0.09 eV. The chemical potential of graphene can be modulated by chemical doping and gate voltages. One can see that the curve is non-bistable, as μ = 0.03, while the curves are bistable as μ = 0.06 and 0.09 eV. The bistable thresholds and the interval of thresholds are larger in bistabilities, as the chemical potential is higher. For different given chemical potentials, Figure 6b shows the lower and upper thresholds of OB. One can see that, as the chemical potential μ > 0.043 eV, the bistable profile could be exported. The thresholds and the interval of thresholds increases with the chemical potential. These phenomenon can be attributed to the fact that the nonlinear surface conductivity coefficient of graphene σ(3) is inversely proportional to the chemical potential. The switch threshold can be adjusted flexibly though the chemical potential in graphene, as the optical bistability is applied to all-optical switches.

5. Conclusions

To summarize, we have theoretically investigated bistability in aperiodic PT symmetry lattices incorporated with Fibonacci sequence dielectrics and graphene at terahertz frequencies. Two aperiodic Fibonacci sequence dielectrics are utilized to enhance the band-edge resonance in which the light field is restricted at the defect layer. The localization of light field and the Q-factor for the resonant cavity can be further enhanced through improving the gain-loss factor q of the PT symmetry system. The electric field localization can greatly strengthen the third-order nonlinearity of graphene and low-threshold OB is achieved. The threshold of OB could been decreased as low as the magnitude kW/cm2. Meanwhile, the interval between the upper and lower thresholds of OB expands. The bistability thresholds and the interval of thresholds decrease with the increase of the momentum relaxation time of graphene. Furthermore, the chemical potential in graphene can also flexibly tune bistability. This research provides an option for development in photomemories and optical switches.
