The perfect matched layer (PML) is employed as the absorbing boundary of the computational window in this FDFD solver. Moreover, the FDFD model adopts two approximation methods for dealing with dielectric interfaces: the stair-case approximation method and the index average scheme. Effective indices and attenuation constants are calculated for pipe waveguides with different forms of the core region at terahertz frequencies, such as circular, semi-circular, quarter-circular, square, and 24 sided polygonal pipe waveguide. Fano resonances, which are caused by the coupling between the core modes and the cladding modes, are observed inside transmission bands in the above-mentioned structures. As for the subwavelength plasmonic slot waveguide, its basic characteristics for various slot widths, film thicknesses, radii of rounded edges, and finite strip widths are analyzed and discussed. The effect of some parameters of calculation on the accuracy of the numerical results is also examined. Moreover, by ignoring the material loss of the metal in both symmetric and asymmetric slot waveguides, the possible leakage characteristics are investigated.1 Introduction 1 1.1 Numerical Schemes for the Analysis of Optical Waveguides . . . . . . 1 1.2 Overview of the Thesis . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 1.3 Outline of the Thesis . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 2 The Finite-Diff erence Frequency-Domain Method 6 2.1 The Central Di fference Scheme . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 2.2 Mode Solvers for 1-D Problems . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 2.2.1 The TE Polarized Wave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 2.2.2 The TM Polarized wave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11 2.3 Mode Solvers for 2-D Problems . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12 2.4 The FDFD Method with Perfectly Matched Layers . . . . . . . . . . 16 2.5 Approximation at Dielectric Interfaces . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20 2.5.1 The Stair-Case Approximation Method . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20 2.5.2 The Index Average scheme . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 21 2.5.3 Comparison between FDFD Solutions and Analytic Solutions of the Optical Fiber . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 21 3 Analysis of Pipe Waveguides for Terahertz Waveguiding 31 3.1 Overview . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31 3.2 Guiding Mechanism . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 33 3.3 Modal Analysis . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 34 3.3.1 Circular Pipe Waveguides . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 35 3.3.2 Semi-circular and Quarter-circular Pipe Waveguides . . . . . . 36 3.3.3 Square and 24 Sided Polygonal Pipe Waveguides . . . . . . . . 36 3.4 Fano Resonances . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 38 3.4.1 Circular and 24 Sided Polygonal Pipe Waveguides . . . . . . . 39 3.4.2 Square Pipe Waveguides . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 40 3.4.3 Semi-circular and Quarter-circular Pipe Waveguides . . . . . . 40 4 Analysis of Subwavelength Plasmonic Slot Waveguides 69 4.1 Overview . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 69 4.1.1 The Surface Plasmon Polariton . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 70 4.1.2 Surface Plasmon Polariton Waveguides . . . . . . . . . . . . . 72 4.2 Modal Analysis of Slot Waveguides . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 73 4.2.1 Symmetric Slot Waveguides . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 74 4.2.2 Asymmetric Slot Waveguides . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 78 4.2.3 Slot Waveguides with Rounded Edges . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 80 4.2.4 Slot Waveguides with Finite Metal-Film Width . . . . . . . . 81 5 Conclusion 10811197787 bytesapplication/pdf論文公開時間:2019/08/21論文使用權限:同意有償授權(權利金給回饋學校)有限差分頻域法光波導管狀波導槽形電漿子波導以有限差分頻域法分析管狀介質波導與槽形電漿子波導Analysis of Dielectric Pipe Waveguides and Plasmonic Slot Waveguides Using the Finite-Difference Frequency-Domain Methodthesishttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/261918/1/ntu-103-R01941097-1.pdf
