Photonic crystal optical memory

After several decades pushing the technology and the development of the world, the electronics is giving space for technologies that use light. We propose and analyze an optical memory embedded in a nonlinear photonic crystal (PhC), whose system of writing and reading data is controlled by an external command signal. This optical memory is based on optical directional couplers connected to a shared optical ring. Such a device can work over the C-Band of ITU (International Telecommunication Union).     

Tunable interaction-free all-optical switching in a five-level atom-cavity system

A scheme is proposed for tunable all-optical switching based on the double-dark states in a five-level atom-cavity system. In the scheme, the output signal light of the reflection and the transmission channels can be switched on or off by manipulating the control field. When the control light is coupled to the atom-cavity system, the input signal light is reflected by the cavity. Thus, there is no direct coupling between the control light and the signal light. Furthermore, the position of the double-dark states can be changed by adjusting the coherent field, and,thus, the switching in our scheme is tunable. By presenting the numerical calculations of the switching efficiency,we show that this type of the interaction-free all-optical switching can be realized with high switching efficiency.

Dual-channel all-optical switching with tunable frequency in a five-level double-ladder atomic system

A scheme of five-level double-ladder-type atomic system is proposed with the aim of implementing dual-channel all-optical switching. Two transitions in the five-level atomic medium independently interact with the two orthogonally (circularly) polarized components from a weak linearly-polarized probe beam, while two other atomic transitions are coherently driven by a control beam and a switching signal beam. We demonstrate that the switching on/off of two orthogonally polarized beams at different frequencies can be achieved by adjusting the magnitude of the external magnetic field, which expands the frequency range of an optical signal switching operation and may improve its practicability.     

Polarization switching in a quasi-isotropic microchip Nd:YAG laser induced by optical feedback

This paper demonstrates the influence of external optical feedback on the polarization state of longitudinal modes in quasi-isotropic microchip Nd:YAG lasers. Under optical feedback, the polarization state of longitudinal modes in quasi-isotropic lasers relies strongly on the intracavity anisotropy loss and mode competition. When the intracavity anisotropy loss is small, external optical feedback can cause polarization switching and strong mode competition between two orthogonal linearly polarized eigenstates of one laser longitudinal mode, which leads to the distortion of laser intensity modulation waveform. The polarization switching is independent of the initial external cavity length. By increasing the intracavity anisotropy loss, one polarization eigenstate can be suppressed and the laser works in single-polarization state. A theoretical analysis based on the compound cavity model is presented, which is in good agreement with the experimental results. The results offer guidance to the development of laser feedback interferometers.     

Influence of Doping on the Mott Metal—Insulator Transition in Infinite Dimensions

We have studied the effect of hole-doping on the established scenerio of the first-order Mott metal-insulator transition (MIT) at half-filling using dynamical mean-field theory and exact diagonalization technique.The mott insulator state is changed into metallic state immediately as holes are doped into the system.The latter is expected to be Fermi liquid.The previously found unanalytical structure of MIT no longer exists for doping as small as 2 percent.We compare our results with that obtained from Gutzwiller approximation.     

Quantum dissociation of a vortex-antivortex pair in a long josephson junction

The thermal and the quantum dissociation of a single vortex-antivortex (VAV) pair in an annular Josephson junction is experimentally observed and theoretically analyzed. In our experiments, the VAV pair is confined in a pinning potential controlled by external magnetic field and bias current. The dissociation of the pinned VAV pair manifests itself in a switching of the Josephson junction from the superconducting to the resistive state. The observed temperature and field dependence of the switching current distribution is in agreement with the analysis. The crossover from the thermal to the macroscopic quantum tunneling mechanism of dissociation occurs at a temperature of about 100 mK. We also predict the specific magnetic field dependence of the oscillatory energy levels of the pinned VAV state.     

Visible light communication system based on spread spectrum technology for intelligent transportation

In recent years, with the rapid development of the solid state Light emitting diodes (LED’s) material, visible light communication has vast applications in transportation system. Generally, LED visible light communication refers to the communication technology which utilizes LED as a signal transmitter, the air as a transmission medium, and the photodiode as a signal receiving component. Visible light communication based on LED light source has been widespread concerned in intelligent transportation system (ITS). In particular, it is used to solve the communication problems between traffic lights and vehicles. However, signal source switching always puzzles the application of visible light communication based on LED in ITS. If signal source switching is not solved effectively, it will result in the interruption of information transmission. The paper proposes a visible light communication system using spread spectrum technology and pulse position modulation. When the vehicle is at the crossroads, the receiver on the vehicle receives signals from the four LED traffic lights at the same time. During the movement of the vehicle, the peak value of the four signals received by the receiver is constantly changing. The receiver detects the relevant peaks from the four traffic light signals and communicates with the traffic lights which have the maximum correlation peak. The problem of signal source switching is solved effectively. The experimental results show that the proposed system can achieve seamless switching between four-way LED traffic lights at the crossing, and the bit error rate of the system is 10^?4–10^?7.     

Temperature-dependent photoacoustic spectroscopy with a Helmholtz resonator

We describe and example the Beam Propagation Method (BPM) used to model and simulate nonlinear refractive and absorptive effects in materials with applications to optical limiting and switching. Various scenarios including laser-beam trapping and laser-beam division are investigated, in order to demonstrate the power of the BPM. A novel technique is also described for efficiently modelling the external far-field propagation from nonlinear media, including the propagation of non-Gaussian-shaped spatial profiles. The methods are finally combined with the phenomenon of nonlinear absorption to demonstrate enhanced power limiting in the presence of self-refraction. Optimal parameters for high-fluence power-limiting are subsequently discussed.

Silver nanoparticles on conducting electrode: a simple two-step process for realizing plasmonic solar cell design

In this paper we address the introduction of antenna’s radiation pattern agility using an agile metamaterial. We design an agile metamaterial having two different behaviors which can be controlled by an external command. This agile metamaterial is used to design an agile lens which comprises two grids each composed of two regions: the first one constitutes a focusing zone (FZ) and the second one the lens body. The focusing zone parameters—refraction index, size, shape and position in the grid—can be modified using an external switching system (OFF or ON stat); by modifying the FZ parameters one can control the patch antenna’s radiation-pattern main-lobe beamwidth and direction (pointing angle) in E- and H-planes.     

All-optical switching in subwavelength metallic grating structure containing nonlinear optical materials

All-optical switching based on a subwavelength metallic grating structure containing nonlinear optical materials has been proposed and numerically investigated. Metal-dielectric composite material is used in the switching for its larger third-order nonlinear susceptibility (approximately 10(-7)esu) and ultrafast response properties. The calculated dependence of the signal light intensity on the pump light intensity shows a bistable behavior, which results in a significant switch effect. It rests on a surface plasmon's enhanced intensity-dependent change of the effective dielectric constant of Kerr nonlinear media, corresponding to a transition of the far-field transmission from a low- to high-transmission state. The study of this switching structure shows great advantages of smaller size, lower requirement of pump light intensity, and shorter switching time at approximately the picosecond level.

Optimal switching policy for performance enhancement of distributed parameter systems based on event-driven control

This paper aims to improve the performance of a class of distributed parameter systems for the optimal switching of actuators and controllers based on event-driven control. It is assumed that in the available multiple actuators, only one actuator can receive the control signal and be activated over an unfixed time interval, and the other actuators keep dormant.After incorporating a state observer into the event generator, the event-driven control loop and the minimum inter-event time are ultimately bounded. Based on the event-driven state feedback control, the time intervals of unfixed length can be obtained. The optimal switching policy is based on finite horizon linear quadratic optimal control at the beginning of each time subinterval. A simulation example demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed policy.     

Switching behavior of a nonlinear Mach-Zehnder interferometer: Saturating nonlinearity

This paper uses the Beam Propagation Method to investigate numerically the switching behavior of a Nonlinear Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (NMZI). A saturating-type nonlinearity has been considered for the present investigations. It is shown that the input versus output characteristics change drastically when a Kerr type nonlinear medium is replaced by a saturating type nonlinear medium. In contrast to an NMZI with Kerr nonlinearity, where only quantitative behavior changes with NMZI length, quantitative as well as qualitative behaviors change in the case of a saturating nonlinearity. We propose an all-optical stabilizer and MZI with stable “ON” and “OFF” states on the basis of our investigation.     

Universal,Solution of Oppenheimer-Volkov Equatiops for Strange Stellar System Based on the MIT Bag Model

The universal solution of Oppenheimer-Volkov equations with strange quark matter equation of state of the MIT bag model is calculated in a reduced form which is independent of the MIT constant B. The lower limit of the observational pulse period of pulsars (0.69 ma) is predicted by the MIT bag constant B=(146 MeV)⁴ which ia fitted to the hadronic spectrum, while the observed lower limit of pulse period of pulaara (1.56 ms) gives an astrophysical restriction on the lower limit of the MIT bag constant as B>(97 MeV)⁴.     

Ferrite loaded graphene based plasmonic waveguide

In this paper, we investigate surface plasmon (SP) propagation characteristics in a ferrite loaded graphene based waveguide biased by an external magnetic flux density. Propagation lengths and dispersion features of the excited SPs can be actively tailored via applying external electro- and magneto-static bias fields. Nonreciprocal property of the structure risen from magneto-optic behavior of the ferrite is clear, in vicinity of the Larmor frequency, according to the derived dispersion equation. The structure is investigated analytically through basic electromagnetic theory. The results can be utilized in design of nonreciprocal components.
