Cavity perturbation theory

Last updated October 04, 2024

In mathematics and electronics, cavity perturbation theory describes methods for derivation of perturbation formulae for performance changes of a cavity resonator.

These performance changes are assumed to be caused by either introduction of a small foreign object into the cavity, or a small deformation of its boundary. Various mathematical methods can be used to study the characteristics of cavities, which are important in the field of microwave systems, and more generally in the field of electro magnetism.

There are many industrial applications for cavity resonators, including microwave ovens, microwave communication systems, and remote imaging systems using electro magnetic waves. How a resonant cavity performs can affect the amount of energy that is required to make it resonate, or the relative stability or instability of the system.

Introduction

When a resonant cavity is perturbed, e.g. by introducing a foreign object with distinct material properties into the cavity or when the shape of the cavity is changed slightly, electromagnetic fields inside the cavity change accordingly. This means that all the resonant modes (i.e. the quasinormal mode) of the unperturbed cavity slightly change. Analytically predicting how the perturbation changes the optical response is a classical problem in electromagnetics, with important implications spanning from the radio-frequency domain to present-day nano-optics. The underlying assumption of cavity perturbation theory is that electromagnetic fields inside the cavity after the change differ by a very small amount from the fields before the change. Then Maxwell's equations for original and perturbed cavities can be used to derive analytical expressions for the resulting resonant frequency shift and linewidth change (or Q factor change) by referring only to the original unperturbed mode (not the perturbed one).

General theory

It is convenient to denote cavity frequencies with a complex number ${\tilde {\omega }}=\omega -i\gamma /2$ , where $\omega =Re({\tilde {\omega }})$ is the angular resonant frequency and $\gamma =2Im({\tilde {\omega }})$ is the inverse of the mode lifetime. Cavity perturbation theory has been initially proposed by Bethe-Schwinger in optics ^[1] , and Waldron in the radio frequency domain.^[2] These initial approaches rely on formulae that consider stored energy

{\frac {{\tilde {\omega }}-{\tilde {\omega }}_{0}}{{\tilde {\omega }}_{0}}}\thickapprox -{\frac {\iiint _{V}\Delta \epsilon |E_{0}|^{2}dv}{\iiint _{V}(\mu _{0}|H_{0}|^{2}+\epsilon |E_{0}|^{2})dv}}\,

(1)

where ${\tilde {\omega }}$ and ${\tilde {\omega }}_{0}$ are the complex frequencies of the perturbed and unperturbed cavity modes, and $H_{0}$ and $E_{0}$ are the electromagnetic fields of the unperturbed mode (permeability change is not considered for simplicity). Expression ( 1 ) relies on stored energy considerations. The latter are intuitive since common sense dictates that the maximum change in resonant frequency occurs when the perturbation is placed at the intensity maximum of the cavity mode. However energy consideration in electromagnetism is only valid for Hermitian systems for which energy is conserved. For cavities, energy is conserved only in the limit of very small leakage (infinite Q's), so that Expression ( 1 ) is only valid in this limit. For instance, it is apparent that Expression ( 1 ) predicts a change of the Q factor ( $Im({\tilde {\omega }}-{\tilde {\omega }}_{0})$ ) only if $\Delta \epsilon$ is complex, i.e. only if the perturber is absorbent. Clearly this is not the case and it is well known that a dielectric perturbation may either increase or decrease the Q factor.

The problems stems from the fact that a cavity is an open non-Hermitian system with leakage and absorption. The theory of non-Hermitian electromagnetic systems abandons energy, i.e. $|E.E|$ products, and rather focuses on $E.E$ products ^[3] that are complex quantities, the imaginary part being related to the leakage. To emphasize the difference between the normal modes of Hermitian systems and the resonance modes of leaky systems, the resonance modes are often referred to as quasinormal mode. In this framework, the frequency shift and the Q change are predicted by

{\frac {{\tilde {\omega }}-{\tilde {\omega }}_{0}}{{\tilde {\omega }}_{0}}}\thickapprox -{\frac {\iiint _{V}\Delta \epsilon E_{0}^{2}dv}{\iiint _{V}(\epsilon E_{0}^{2}-\mu _{0}H_{0}^{2})dv}}\,

(2)

The accuracy of the seminal equation 2 has been verified in a variety of complicated geometries. For low-Q cavities, such as plasmonic nanoresonators that are used for sensing, equation 2 has been shown to predict both the shift and the broadening of the resonance with a high accuracy, whereas equation 1 is inaccurately predicting both.^[4] For high-Q photonic cavities, such as photonic crystal cavities or microrings, experiments have evidenced that equation 2 accurately predicts both the shift and the Q change, whereas equation 1 accurately predicts the shift only.^[5]

The following sections are written with $|E.E|$ products; however, they should be understood with the $E.E$ products of quasinormal mode theory.

Material perturbation

When a material within a cavity is changed (permittivity and/or permeability), a corresponding change in resonant frequency can be approximated as:^[6]

{\frac {\omega -\omega _{0}}{\omega _{0}}}\thickapprox -{\frac {\iiint _{V}(\Delta \mu |H_{0}|^{2}+\Delta \epsilon |E_{0}|^{2})dv}{\iiint _{V}(\mu |H_{0}|^{2}+\epsilon |E_{0}|^{2})dv}}\,

(3)

where $\omega$ is the angular resonant frequency of the perturbed cavity, $\omega _{0}$ is the resonant frequency of the original cavity, $E_{0}$ and $H_{0}$ represent original electric and magnetic field respectively, $\mu$ and $\epsilon$ are original permeability and permittivity respectively, while $\Delta \mu$ and $\Delta \epsilon$ are changes in original permeability and permittivity introduced by material change.

Expression ( 3 ) can be rewritten in terms of stored energies as:^[7]

{\frac {\omega -\omega _{0}}{\omega _{0}}}\thickapprox -{\frac {1}{W}}\iiint _{V}({\frac {\Delta \epsilon }{\epsilon }}\cdot {\bar {w_{e}}}+{\frac {\Delta \mu }{\mu }}\cdot {\bar {w_{m}}})dv\,

(4)

where W is the total energy stored in the original cavity and ${\bar {w_{e}}}$ and ${\bar {w_{m}}}$ are electric and magnetic energy densities respectively.

Shape perturbation

When a general shape of a resonant cavity is changed, a corresponding change in resonant frequency can be approximated as:^[6]

{\frac {\omega -\omega _{0}}{\omega _{0}}}\thickapprox {\frac {\iiint _{\Delta V}(\mu |H_{0}|^{2}-\epsilon |E_{0}|^{2})dv}{\iiint _{V}(\mu |H_{0}|^{2}+\epsilon |E_{0}|^{2})dv}}\,

(5)

Expression ( 5 ) for change in resonant frequency can additionally be written in terms of time-average stored energies as:^[6]

{\frac {\omega -\omega _{0}}{\omega _{0}}}\thickapprox {\frac {\Delta W_{m}-\Delta W_{e}}{W_{m}+W_{e}}}\,

(6)

where $\Delta W_{m}$ and $\Delta W_{e}$ represent time-average electric and magnetic energies contained in $\Delta V$ .

This expression can also be written in terms of energy densities ^[7] as:

{\frac {\omega -\omega _{0}}{\omega _{0}}}\thickapprox {\frac {({\bar {w_{m}}}-{\bar {w_{e}}})\cdot \Delta V}{W}}\,

(7)

Considerable accuracy improvements of the predictive force of Equation ( 5 ) can be gained by incorporating local field corrections,^[4] which simply results from the interface conditions for electromagnetic fields that are different for the displacement-field and electric-field vectors at the shape boundaries.

Applications

Microwave measurement techniques based on cavity perturbation theory are generally used to determine the dielectric and magnetic parameters of materials and various circuit components such as dielectric resonators. Since ex-ante knowledge of the resonant frequency, resonant frequency shift and electromagnetic fields is necessary in order to extrapolate material properties, these measurement techniques generally make use of standard resonant cavities where resonant frequencies and electromagnetic fields are well known. Two examples of such standard resonant cavities are rectangular and circular waveguide cavities and coaxial cables resonators . Cavity perturbation measurement techniques for material characterization are used in many fields ranging from physics and material science to medicine and biology.^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11]^[12]^[13]

Examples

$TE 10 n$ rectangular waveguide cavity

For rectangular waveguide cavity, field distribution of dominant $TE_{10n}$ mode is well known. Ideally, the material to be measured is introduced into the cavity at the position of maximum electric or magnetic field. When the material is introduced at the position of maximum electric field, then the contribution of magnetic field to perturbed frequency shift is very small and can be ignored. In this case, we can use perturbation theory to derive expressions for real and imaginary components of complex material permittivity $\epsilon _{r}=\epsilon _{r}'+j\epsilon _{r}''$ as:^[7]

\epsilon _{r}'-1={\frac {f_{c}-f_{s}}{2f_{s}}}{\frac {V_{c}}{V_{s}}}\,

(8)

\epsilon _{r}''={\frac {V_{c}}{4V_{s}}}{\frac {Q_{c}-Q_{s}}{Q_{c}Q_{s}}}\,

(9)

where $f_{c}$ and $f_{s}$ represent resonant frequencies of original cavity and perturbed cavity respectively, $V_{c}$ and $V_{s}$ represent volumes of original cavity and material sample respectively, $Q_{c}$ and $Q_{s}$ represent quality factors of original and perturbed cavities respectively.

Once the complex permittivity of the material is known, we can easily calculate its effective conductivity $\sigma _{e}$ and dielectric loss tangent $\tan \delta$ as:^[7]

\sigma _{e}=\omega \epsilon ''=2\pi f\epsilon _{0}\epsilon _{r}''\,

(10)

tan\delta ={\frac {\epsilon _{r}''}{\epsilon _{r}'}}\,

(11)

where f is the frequency of interest and $\epsilon _{0}$ is the free space permittivity.

Similarly, if the material is introduced into the cavity at the position of maximum magnetic field, then the contribution of electric field to perturbed frequency shift is very small and can be ignored. In this case, we can use perturbation theory to derive expressions for complex material permeability $\mu _{r}=\mu _{r}'+j\mu _{r}''$ as:^[7]

\mu _{r}'-1=({\frac {\lambda _{g}^{2}+4a^{2}}{8a^{2}}})({\frac {f_{c}-f_{s}}{f_{s}}})({\frac {V_{c}}{V_{s}}})\,

(12)

\mu _{r}''=({\frac {\lambda _{g}^{2}+4a^{2}}{16a^{2}}})({\frac {V_{c}}{V_{s}}})({\frac {Q_{c}-Q_{s}}{Q_{c}Q_{s}}})\,

(13)

where $\lambda _{g}$ is the guide wavelength (calculated as $\lambda _{g}={\frac {2l}{n}}$ ).

In electrical engineering, a circulator is a passive, non-reciprocal three- or four-port device that only allows a microwave or radio-frequency (RF) signal to exit through the port directly after the one it entered. Optical circulators have similar behavior. Ports are where an external waveguide or transmission line, such as a microstrip line or a coaxial cable, connects to the device. For a three-port circulator, a signal applied to port 1 only comes out of port 2; a signal applied to port 2 only comes out of port 3; a signal applied to port 3 only comes out of port 1. An ideal three-port circulator thus has the following scattering matrix:

In electromagnetism, a dielectric is an electrical insulator that can be polarised by an applied electric field. When a dielectric material is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material as they do in an electrical conductor, because they have no loosely bound, or free, electrons that may drift through the material, but instead they shift, only slightly, from their average equilibrium positions, causing dielectric polarisation. Because of dielectric polarisation, positive charges are displaced in the direction of the field and negative charges shift in the direction opposite to the field. This creates an internal electric field that reduces the overall field within the dielectric itself. If a dielectric is composed of weakly bonded molecules, those molecules not only become polarised, but also reorient so that their symmetry axes align to the field.

In electrical engineering, electrical length is a dimensionless parameter equal to the physical length of an electrical conductor such as a cable or wire, divided by the wavelength of alternating current at a given frequency traveling through the conductor. In other words, it is the length of the conductor measured in wavelengths. It can alternately be expressed as an angle, in radians or degrees, equal to the phase shift the alternating current experiences traveling through the conductor.

Mode volume may refer to figures of merit used either to characterise optical and microwave cavities or optical fibers.

The wave impedance of an electromagnetic wave is the ratio of the transverse components of the electric and magnetic fields. For a transverse-electric-magnetic (TEM) plane wave traveling through a homogeneous medium, the wave impedance is everywhere equal to the intrinsic impedance of the medium. In particular, for a plane wave travelling through empty space, the wave impedance is equal to the impedance of free space. The symbol Z is used to represent it and it is expressed in units of ohms. The symbol η (eta) may be used instead of Z for wave impedance to avoid confusion with electrical impedance.

The relative permittivity is the permittivity of a material expressed as a ratio with the electric permittivity of a vacuum. A dielectric is an insulating material, and the dielectric constant of an insulator measures the ability of the insulator to store electric energy in an electrical field.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Permittivity</span> Measure of the electric polarizability of a dielectric material

In electromagnetism, the absolute permittivity, often simply called permittivity and denoted by the Greek letter $ε$ (epsilon), is a measure of the electric polarizability of a dielectric material. A material with high permittivity polarizes more in response to an applied electric field than a material with low permittivity, thereby storing more energy in the material. In electrostatics, the permittivity plays an important role in determining the capacitance of a capacitor.

In the physical sciences, the wavenumber, also known as repetency, is the spatial frequency of a wave, measured in cycles per unit distance or radians per unit distance. It is analogous to temporal frequency, which is defined as the number of wave cycles per unit time or radians per unit time.

In electromagnetism, skin effect is the tendency of an alternating electric current (AC) to become distributed within a conductor such that the current density is largest near the surface of the conductor and decreases exponentially with greater depths in the conductor. It is caused by opposing eddy currents induced by the changing magnetic field resulting from the alternating current. The electric current flows mainly at the skin of the conductor, between the outer surface and a level called the skin depth.

Quasinormal modes (QNM) are the modes of energy dissipation of a perturbed object or field, i.e. they describe perturbations of a field that decay in time.

In physics, the Lamb shift, named after Willis Lamb, is an anomalous difference in energy between two electron orbitals in a hydrogen atom. The difference was not predicted by theory and it cannot be derived from the Dirac equation, which predicts identical energies. Hence the Lamb shift is a deviation from theory seen in the differing energies contained by the ²S_1/2 and ²P_1/2 orbitals of the hydrogen atom.

An electromagnetic reverberation chamber (also known as a reverb chamber (RVC) or mode-stirred chamber (MSC)) is an environment for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing and other electromagnetic investigations. Electromagnetic reverberation chambers have been introduced first by H.A. Mendes in 1968. A reverberation chamber is screened room with a minimum of absorption of electromagnetic energy. Due to the low absorption, very high field strength can be achieved with moderate input power. A reverberation chamber is a cavity resonator with a high Q factor. Thus, the spatial distribution of the electrical and magnetic field strengths is strongly inhomogeneous (standing waves). To reduce this inhomogeneity, one or more tuners (stirrers) are used. A tuner is a construction with large metallic reflectors that can be moved to different orientations in order to achieve different boundary conditions. The Lowest Usable Frequency (LUF) of a reverberation chamber depends on the size of the chamber and the design of the tuner. Small chambers have a higher LUF than large chambers.

A dielectric resonator is a piece of dielectric material, usually ceramic, that is designed to function as a resonator for radio waves, generally in the microwave and millimeter wave bands. The microwaves are confined inside the resonator material by the abrupt change in permittivity at the surface, and bounce back and forth between the sides. At certain frequencies, the resonant frequencies, the microwaves form standing waves in the resonator, oscillating with large amplitudes. Dielectric resonators generally consist of a "puck" of ceramic that has a large dielectric constant and a low dissipation factor. The resonant frequency is determined by the overall physical dimensions of the resonator and the dielectric constant of the material.

In electrical engineering, dielectric loss quantifies a dielectric material's inherent dissipation of electromagnetic energy. It can be parameterized in terms of either the loss angle $δ$ or the corresponding loss tangent $tan(δ)$ . Both refer to the phasor in the complex plane whose real and imaginary parts are the resistive (lossy) component of an electromagnetic field and its reactive (lossless) counterpart.

The word electricity refers generally to the movement of electrons, or other charge carriers, through a conductor in the presence of a potential difference or an electric field. The speed of this flow has multiple meanings. In everyday electrical and electronic devices, the signals travel as electromagnetic waves typically at 50%–99% of the speed of light in vacuum. The electrons themselves move much more slowly. See drift velocity and electron mobility.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Superconducting radio frequency</span> Technique used to attain a high quality factor in resonant cavities

Superconducting radio frequency (SRF) science and technology involves the application of electrical superconductors to radio frequency devices. The ultra-low electrical resistivity of a superconducting material allows an RF resonator to obtain an extremely high quality factor, Q. For example, it is commonplace for a 1.3 GHz niobium SRF resonant cavity at 1.8 kelvins to obtain a quality factor of Q=5×10¹⁰. Such a very high Q resonator stores energy with very low loss and narrow bandwidth. These properties can be exploited for a variety of applications, including the construction of high-performance particle accelerator structures.

A microwave cavity or radio frequency cavity is a special type of resonator, consisting of a closed metal structure that confines electromagnetic fields in the microwave or RF region of the spectrum. The structure is either hollow or filled with dielectric material. The microwaves bounce back and forth between the walls of the cavity. At the cavity's resonant frequencies they reinforce to form standing waves in the cavity. Therefore, the cavity functions similarly to an organ pipe or sound box in a musical instrument, oscillating preferentially at a series of frequencies, its resonant frequencies. Thus it can act as a bandpass filter, allowing microwaves of a particular frequency to pass while blocking microwaves at nearby frequencies.

Circuit quantum electrodynamics provides a means of studying the fundamental interaction between light and matter. As in the field of cavity quantum electrodynamics, a single photon within a single mode cavity coherently couples to a quantum object (atom). In contrast to cavity QED, the photon is stored in a one-dimensional on-chip resonator and the quantum object is no natural atom but an artificial one. These artificial atoms usually are mesoscopic devices which exhibit an atom-like energy spectrum. The field of circuit QED is a prominent example for quantum information processing and a promising candidate for future quantum computation.

In the physics of continuous media, spatial dispersion is usually described as a phenomenon where material parameters such as permittivity or conductivity have dependence on wavevector. Normally such a dependence is assumed to be absent for simplicity, however spatial dispersion exists to varying degrees in all materials.

A loop-gap resonator (LGR) is an electromagnetic resonator that operates in the radio and microwave frequency ranges. The simplest LGRs are made from a conducting tube with a narrow slit cut along its length. The LGR dimensions are typically much smaller than the free-space wavelength of the electromagnetic fields at the resonant frequency. Therefore, relatively compact LGRs can be designed to operate at frequencies that are too low to be accessed using, for example, cavity resonators. These structures can have very sharp resonances making them useful for electron spin resonance (ESR) experiments, and precision measurements of electromagnetic material properties.
