Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We derived a recursion formula for the reflectance of the stratified and phase-shifted volume index gratings. The characteristics of the reflectance spectra of the stratified and phase-shifted volume index gratings were studied based on the recursion formula. It is shown that narrow bandwidth transparency peaks appear within the stop-band of the reflectance spectrum of the volume index gratings due to the intervention of the homogeneous buffer layers that induce the phase-shifts between neighboring volume index gratings. The spectral positions of the transparency peaks can be shifted within the stop-band by controlling the phase-shift, i.e., the buffer layer thickness. The described properties may find applications in addressable band-pass filter, switching, wavelength division multiplexing, and de-multiplexing. The dispersion near the transparency peaks of the stratified and phase-shifted volume index grating is found to be sharply enhanced as compared to the uniform volume index gratings. Significantly enhanced control on the group velocity of light by several orders of magnitude while keeping high transmittance is demonstrated in the stratified and phase-shifted volume index grating.
