Lifetime distribution of spontaneous emission from line antennas in two-dimensional quasi-periodic photonic crystals

We investigate the lifetime distribution functions of spontaneous emission from line antennas embedded in finite-size two-dimensional 12-fold quasi-periodic photonic crystals. Our calculations indicate that two-dimensional quasi-periodic crystals lead to the coexistence of both accelerated and inhibited decay processes. The decay behaviors of line antennas are drastically changed as the locations of the antennas are varied from the center to the edge in quasi-periodic photonic crystals and the location of transition frequency is varied.

Spontaneous emission lifetime distribution of infinite line antennas in two-dimensional photonic crystals with finite size

The authors calculate the lifetime distribution functions of spontaneous emission from infinite line antennas embedded in two-dimensional disordered photonic crystals with finite size. The calculations indicate the coexistence of both accelerated and inhibited decay processes in disordered photonic crystals with finite size. The decay behavior of the spontaneous emission from infinite line antennas changes significantly by varying factors such as the line antennas' positions in the disordered photonic crystal, the shape of the crystal, the filling fraction, and the dielectric constant. Moreover, the authors analyze the effect of the degree of disorder on spontaneous emission. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.

FET ACTIVE SLOTLINE NOTCH ANTENNAS FOR QUASI-OPTICAL POWER COMBINING

A new active antenna structure with applications in quasi-optical power combining is described. The active antenna combines a slotline FET oscillator with a notch antenna. The new structure was successfully used to create both E-plane and H-plane linear arrays as well as a 2-D array. Preliminary results of radiation patterns and the power combining efficiencies of the arrays are discussed.
