Abstract
Dark hollow beams (DHBs) possess great potential for material processing, holography, and vortex beams, and thus designing a high-Q DHB cavity is significant for these applications. In this Letter, a method of designing and optimizing a high-Q DHB cavity based on a one-dimensional topological photonic crystal (TPhC) is proposed. Furthermore, how the structural parameters control the performance of the cavity is analyzed with the help of finite-element-method (FEM) simulation. According to the simulation results, the Q factor of the designed cavity can reach the order of 105 with only 19 periods of layers. It is critical to mention that, although increasing the layers can improve the average Q of the cavity, it will cause serious fluctuation of both the Q factor and the divergence angle of the output beam. The design method proposed in this Letter may not only help designers of future DHB lasers but also promote the applications of DHBs in various fields.
