泵浦光的入射角对参量下转换的影响

利用参量下转换制备相关光子实现对各类探测器的量子效率的定标,是近年来兴起的新型定标技术。由于参量下转换的光子转换效率低,探测器输出信号信噪比小。采用短波激光器泵浦PPLN周期极化性晶体,可获得较大功率的参量光。分析了泵浦光在PPLN晶体端面的入射角对参量光的转换效率、空间分布、参量带宽及晶体周期的影响,并进行了数值模拟。分析发现当泵浦光正入射晶体端面时,参量光功率转换大,带宽小,发散角大;随着泵浦光入射角度逐渐增大,参量下转换的转换效率降低,相关光子的带宽变小,发散角变小且参量光的中心波长的空间位置会发生相对偏移。该研究结果可为相关光子探测、模拟探测器量子效率的高精度定标提供理论依据。

Experimental Identification and Study of Coloured Conical Emission in Quadratic Nonlinear Media

We have explicitly identified coloured conical emission （CCE） and noncollinear optical parametric generation （OPC） by spectrum characterizations. With an experimental setup providing different pump pulse durations, CCE and noncollinear OPG are observed both alternatively and simultaneously. Comparisons between CCE and noncollinear OPC are studied. Accumulation behaviour of modulational instabilities is observed in our two-crystal cascaded configuration, which results in enhancement or depression of the CCE formation.

The underlying physics of CCE involve three three-photon processes, according to which the beam angular spectra was calculated on the phase-matching conditions and accords with the experimental observation.

内聚锥形激波的非均匀强化与结构演变特征

以高超声速内转式进气道流动中的激波汇聚问题为背景,考虑工程实际中的来流和壁面几何条件这两个关键因素,分别提出了以来流攻角为研究参数的非轴向来流内锥流动模型,和以长/短轴比为研究参数的椭圆入口内锥流动模型.采用激波风洞实验观测和数值模拟相结合的方法,揭示了两类流动中激波的非均匀汇聚特征.结果表明:由来流攻角引起的激波初始沿周向强度分布的不均匀性会在汇聚过程中被放大,迎风面和背风面的激波差异不断加剧;来流攻角越大,初始激波强度不均匀性越强,在汇聚过程中激波面越容易出现不连续的拐折,且出现拐折后激波的汇聚效应会被削弱.由椭圆入口形成的等强度激波在初始时周向的几何不均匀性使激波在汇聚过程中出现沿长/短轴方向的强度差异,激波沿长轴方向上的强度增加更迅速;椭圆长/短轴比越大,激波初始几何不均匀性越强,在汇聚过程中长/短轴两个方向激波强度差异凸显得越快,波面越容易出现不连续的拐折,进而削弱激波的汇聚.在偏离轴对称达到一定程度时,这两种条件下的激波汇聚都会出现汇聚中心处从Mach反射向规则反射的转变.

Simulation of THz emission from laser interaction with plasmas

One-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) program is used to simulate the generation of high power terahertz (THz) emission from the interaction of an ultrashort intense laser pulse with underdense plasma. The spectra of THz radiation are discussed under different laser intensity, pulse width, incident angle and density scale length. High-amplitude electron plasma wave driven by a laser wakefield can produce powerful THz emission through linear mode conversion under certain conditions. With incident laser intensity of 10¹⁸ W/cm², the generated emission is computed to be of the order of several MV/cm field and tens of MW level power. The corresponding energy conversion efficiency is several ten thousandths, which is higher then the efficiency of other THz source and suitable for the studies of THz nonlinear physics.

Conical emission: pT and system dependences and the first result with identified particles from STAR

We present the analysis of three-particle correlation with respect to reaction system, transverse momentum (p _T ) of associated and trigger particles measured by STAR experiment at RHIC. Our preliminary results indicate presence of conical emission of charge particles correlated with high p _T trigger particles in central A+A collisions. The measured conical emission angle is independent of p _T of associate hadrons, possibly consistent with Mach cone shock wave mechanism. The first result on PID three-particle correlation with identified associated particles is also reported.     

Conical bubble photoluminescence from rhodamine 6G in 1, 2-propanediol

A modified U-tube conical bubble sonoluminescence device is used to study the conical bubble photoluminescence. The spectra of conical bubble sonoluminescence at different concentrations of rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) solution in 1,2-propanediol have been measured. Results show that the sonoluminescence from the conical bubbles can directly excite Rh6G, which in turn can fluoresce. The light emission of this kind is referred to as conical bubble photoluminescence. The maximum of fluorescence spectral line intensity in the conical bubble photoluminescence has a red shift in relative to that of the standard photo-excited fluorescence, which is due to the higher self-absorption of Rh6G, and the spectral line of conical bubble photoluminescence is broadened in width compared with that of photo-excited fluorescence.     

Absolute spectral distribution of soft X-ray emission from laserproduced gold plasma

Quantitative measurement of spectral distribution of soft X-ray emission from laser produced plasmas and estimation of X-ray conversion efficiency are reported. The X-ray emission from planar gold target irradiated by an Nd:glass laser was recorded using a high resolution transmission grating spectrograph. Spectral distribution of X-ray intensity was derived using calibrated film data and a deconvolution procedure to account for contribution of higher diffraction orders. Results of conversion efficiency per unit solid angle, at a laser intensity of ~4×10¹² W/cm² (λ_L = 1.054 μm), for 10< λ <80 Å and in the water window spectral region (23< λ< 44 Å) are presented. A three-fold increase in conversion efficiency was observed for second harmonic laser irradiation (λ_L = 0.527 μm) at an intensity of 8×10¹² W/cm²
