In a recent investigation, we studied two-dimensional point-defected photonic bandgap cavities composed of dielectric rods arranged according to various representative periodic and aperiodic lattices, with special emphasis on possible applications to particle acceleration (along the longitudinal axis). In this paper, we present a new study aimed at highlighting the possible advantages of using hybrid structures based on the above dielectric configurations, but featuring metallic rods in the outermost regions, for the design of extremely-high quality factor, bandgap-based, accelerating resonators. In this framework, we consider diverse configurations, with different (periodic and aperiodic) lattice geometries, sizes, and dielectric/metal fractions. Moreover, we also explore possible improvements attainable via the use of superconducting plates to confine the electromagnetic field in the longitudinal direction. Results from our comparative studies, based on numerical full-wave simulations backed by experimental validations (at room and cryogenic temperatures) in the microwave region, identify the candidate parametric configurations capable of yielding the highest quality factor.

In this Letter, we present a study of the confinement properties of point-defect resonators in finite-size photonic-bandgap structures composed of aperiodic arrangements of dielectric rods, with special emphasis on their use for the design of cavities for particle accelerators. Specifically, for representative geometries, we study the properties of the fundamental mode (as a function of the filling fraction, structure size, and losses) via 2-D and 3-D full-wave numerical simulations, as well as microwave measurements at room temperature. Results indicate that, for reduced-size structures, aperiodic geometries exhibit superior confinement properties by comparison with periodic ones.
The Photonic hybRid EleCtromagnetic SolvEr (PRECISE) is a Matlab based library to model large and complex photonics integrated circuits. Each circuit is modularly described in terms of waveguide segments connected through multiport nodes. Linear, nonlinear, and dynamical phenomena are simulated by solving the system of differential equations describing the effect to be considered. By exploiting the steady state approximation of the electromagnetic field within each node device, the library can handle large and complex circuits even on desktop PC. We show that the steady state assumption is fulfilled in a broad number of applications and we compare its accuracy with analytical model (coupled mode theory) and experimental results. PRECISE is highly modular and easily extensible to handle equations different from those already implemented and is, thus, a flexible tool to model the increasingly complex photonic circuits.
Photonic bandgap cavities are prime solid-state systems to investigate light-matter interactions in the strong coupling regime. However, as the cavity is defined by the geometry of the periodic dielectric pattern, cavity control in a monolithic structure can be problematic. Thus, either the state coherence is limited by the read-out channel, or in a high Q cavity, it is nearly decoupled from the external world, making measurement of the state extremely challenging. We present here a method for ameliorating these difficulties by using a coupled cavity arrangement, where one cavity acts as a switch for the other cavity, tuned by control of the atomic transition.
The performance of superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities depends on the niobium surface condition. Recently, various heat-treatment methods have been investigated to achieve unprecedented high quality factor (Q) and high accelerating field (E). We report the influence of a new baking process called furnace baking on the Q-E behavior of 1.3 GHz SRF cavities. Furnace baking is performed as the final step of the cavity surface treatment; the cavities are heated in a vacuum furnace for 3 h, followed by high-pressure rinsing and radio-frequency measurement. This method is simpler and potentially more reliable than previously reported heat-treatment methods, and it is therefore, easier to apply to the SRF cavities. We find that the quality factor is increased after furnace baking at temperatures ranging from 300C to 400C, while strong decreasing the quality factor at high accelerating field is observed after furnace baking at temperatures ranging from 600C to 800C. We find significant differences in the surface resistance for various processing temperatures.
Controlling trapped magnetic flux in superconducting radiofrequency (RF) cavities is of crucial importance in modern accelerator projects. In order to study flux trapping efficiency and sensitiv- ity of surface resistance, dedicated experiments have been carried out on different types of low-b{eta} superconducting accelerating cavities. Even under almost full trapping conditions, we found that the measured magnetic sensitivities of these cavity geometries were significantly lower than the theoretical values predicted by commonly-used models based on local material properties. This must be resolved by taking account of geometrical effects of flux trapping and flux oscillation under RF surface current in such cavity shape. In this paper, we propose a new approach to convolute the influence of geometries. We point out a puzzling contradiction between sample measurements and recent cavity experiments, which leads to two different hypotheses to simulate oscillating flux trapped in the cavity surface. A critical reconsideration of flux oscillation by the RF Lorentz force, compared with temperature mapping studies in elliptical cavities, favoured the results of previous sample measurements, which suggested preferential flux trapping of normal component to the cavity inner surface. Based on this observation, we builded a new model to our experimental results and the discrepancy between old theory and data were resolved.
