Complete chaotic synchronization characteristics of the linear-polarization mode of vertical-cavity surface-emitting semiconductor lasers with isotropic optical feedback

Based on the SFM model [M. San Miguel, Q. Feng, J.V. Moloney, Phys. Rev. A. 52 (1995) 1728.], complete chaotic synchronization characteristics of linear-polarization (LP) Mode of the vertical-cavity surface-emitting semiconductor lasers (VCSELs) with isotropic optical feedback are numerically investigated. When the propagation time τ_c of light from the transmitter to the receiver equals to the external cavity round-trip time τ, and the central frequency of the T_VCSEL matches that of the R_VCSEL, in large scale region of the feedback coefficient and the injection current where the x-polarization mode as well as the y-polarization mode obtains high synchronization quality at the same time. However, in the central frequency mismatch regions where the x- and y-polarization mode can obtain inferior synchronization quality at same time. But for τ_c ≠ τ, each LP mode of the mixed polarization modes achieved inferior synchronization quality at the same time. Besides, with big enough injection current, the output of the system with the same central frequency in two lasers is entirely governed by the y-polarization mode when the feedback coefficient and Δτ(=τ_c − τ) fixed at a certain value. So the system can realize steadily good synchronization of the completely dominant y-polarization mode. But the synchronization quality of the completely dominated y-polarization mode can be deteriorated by increasing absolute frequency detuning value. Besides, in positive frequency mismatch regions where the influence of the same frequency detuning value on the synchronization quality of the entirely governed y-polarization mode becomes smaller than in negative frequency detuning regions. At last, when τ is given and the central frequency of the T_VCSEL matches that of the R_VCSEL, the influence of the τ_c is not a simple time-shift in the time-evolution of the receiver VCSEL, which has serious influence on the complete synchronization quality of each LP mode.     

基于光反馈的单向耦合注入垂直腔表面发射激光器的矢量混沌同步特性研究

基于自旋反向模型(SFM)，数值研究了基于光反馈的单向耦合注入垂直腔表面发射激光器的矢量混沌同步特性，研究结果表明：当外部光反馈时间等于光从发射系统到接收系统传输时间时， x偏振模和y偏振模都能接收最好的完全混沌同步质量.若外部光反馈时间不等于传输时间且注入电流接近阈值电流时，占主导的y偏振模能暂时实现较好的完全混沌同步质量.相比较而言，占主导地位的x偏振模至始至终获得很差的同步质量，另外，当系统输出为混合偏振模时，混合偏振模中的每一个线性偏振模获得很差完全同步质量.然而，当注入电流远大于阈值电流时，系统输出仅为y偏振模，这时y偏振模能稳定地实现最好的完全混沌同步质量.最后，当接收激光器受到线性偏振模的强注入时，每一个注入线性偏振模能与接收激光器输出的对应的线性偏振模实现很好的注入锁定同步.然而，每一个占主导的线性偏振模比另一被抑制的线性偏振模获得更差注入锁定同步质量、如果有相等的能量的两个线性偏振模同时存在，这两个线性偏振模获得差不多一致的注入锁定混同步质量， 换句话说，能量较少的线性偏振能获得较高的注入锁定同步质量. 关键词： 线性偏振态 垂直腔表面发射激光器 完全矢量混沌同步 强注入锁定矢量混沌同步

Using polarization properties to enhance performance of chaos synchronization communication between vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers

Enhanced chaos synchronization communication between vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) is investigated numerically, by adopting a polarization communication protocol where one polarization mode is used as the chaotic carrier and the orthogonal polarization mode is used as the disturbed signal. The chaos synchronization quality for the receiver laser (RL) and attacker laser (AL) are analyzed in terms of the cross-correlation coefficient. There are two distinct regions of good synchronization quality in the injection parameters space. In the first region, good synchronization quality can be ensured for both the RL and AL. In the second region, only the RL can realize chaos synchronization. We further discuss the security enhancement by comparing the communication performance between RL and AL for injection parameters within the second region. The results show that successful and robust decoding is only achievable for the RL.     

Numerical characterization of time delay signature in chaotic vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers with optical feedback

We have discussed numerically the characterization of time delay (TD) signature in a chaotic vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) subject to optical feedback, where the results for polarization-preserved optical feedback (PPOF) and polarization-rotated optical feedback (PROF) are presented comparatively. It is found that, when the feedback strength is moderate, TD signature can be retrieved successfully by analyzing the total intensity, intensities of x-linearly polarized (x-LP) mode, and y-LP mode in a VCSEL with PPOF; while for PROF case, the intensity amplitude peaks in autocorrelation function (ACF)/delayed mutual information (DMI) of the two orthogonal LP modes are located at multiple values of TD. Furthermore, the influence of the feedback strength and time delay has been investigated. The results show that, a further increase of the feedback strength (roughly>40 ns^?1) leads to the successful identification of the TD signature in the two LP mode intensities of VCSELs with PROF. It is also observed that the estimation of TD depends significantly on the value of the spin–flip relaxation rate (γ_s). For low relaxation rates the TD signature could be much easier to be revealed by the two LP modes than that for large values of relaxation rate in VCSELs with PROF. Finally the influence of injection current and the device linear anisotropies is investigated, and the results of TD estimation are confirmed by calculating permutation entropy (PE).     

Influence of polarization mode competition on the synchronization of two unidirectionally coupled vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers

We analyze theoretically the effect of polarization mode competition on the synchronization of two unidirectionally coupled vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). Chaos in the master laser is induced by delayed optical feedback, and the slave laser is subject to isotropic optical injection from the master VCSEL. We show that the synchronization quality can be enhanced when the chaotic regime in the master VCSEL involves both fundamental orthogonal linearly polarized modes.     

Chaos synchronization and communication of the polarization modes for two unidirectionally coupled vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers

We theoretically investigate the synchronization performance of the polarization modes of two unidirectionally coupled vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs), where the master VCSEL subjects to polarization-preserved optical feedback and the slave VCSEL subjects to polarization-preserved optical injection. We demonstrate that high synchronization can be achieved between corresponding polarization components of the master laser and the slave laser. We also analyze the influence of the internal mismatched parameters on the synchronization performance. Furthermore, this system is used to dual-channel communication and the different transmitted digital information is respectively recovered at each polarization branch of the slaver laser successfully with the encryption scheme of chaos masking (CM). The results open an opportunity for multichannel chaotic communication by utilizing different polarization components in single-mode or multi-transverse-mode VCSELs.     

Quantum Treatment of the Interaction Between an N-Level Atom and Two Noninteracting Two-Level Atoms

We consider the problem of two two-level atoms interacting with N-level atom. We obtain the exact solution for the wave function for the case where both atoms are identical and the system is treated at exact resonance. We use the results obtained for discussing the temporal evolution of the atomic inversion, in particular, the collapse and revival phenomena. We build up our discussion on the variation of the atomic number j and the atomic angle θ. For small j, the system exhibits a small period of collapse, and for large j we observe a long period of revival. We employ the linear entropy in the discussion of entanglement. We show that the atomic angle θ influences the system in such a way that the period of partial entanglement increases with increase in the value of θ. In addition to the variance squeezing, we also examine the entanglement between the spinors and show that the squeezing phenomenon occurs in the second quadrature, being absent in the first quadrature. Also we realize that the squeezing phenomenon reaches its maximum and gets more pronounced for a small value of the atomic number and a large value of the atomic angle.

Spin polarization of short-lived β-emitting nucleus ²⁹P (I ^π = 1/2^?+?, T _1/2 = 4.14 s) produced through the ²⁸P(d, n) ²⁹P reaction was studied as functions of the incident deuteron energy E _d and the recoil angle θ of ²⁹P. New optimum condition was found at E _d = 3.3 MeV and θ = 30° where polarization of ²⁹P is ?(4.1 ± 0.7) %.     

The crystal magnetic field in a proton-polarized lanthanum magnesium nitrate single crystal

Knowledge of the crystal magnetic fieldH _c is necessary for proton polarization measurements in polarized targets by the internal field method [1, 2]. Because of the importance of lanthanum magnesium nitrate (LMN) single crystals for low-energy polarized proton targets [3],H _c has been calculated for LMN on the basis of new x-ray diffraction data. We find thatH _c=ApP₂(cosθ), wherep is the proton polarization andP ₂ the second Legendre polynomial depending onθ, the angle between crystalc-axis and external magnetic field, andA is a constant characteristic for LMN. Our result \(A = - \left( {0.242 \pm \begin{array}{*{20}c} {0.028} \\ {0.090} \\ \end{array} } \right) Oe\) leads to a field only about half as large as expected according to previous assumptions. The difference is due to the markedly different proton positions, revealed by the x-ray structure analysis.

基于自旋反转模型（SFM）,对光电负反馈下单向耦合注入垂直腔表面发射激光器（VCSEL）的混沌同步特性进行了数值仿真和理论分析.研究结果表明：随着反馈强度的增加,激光器输出功率呈现两个不同的混沌区域.在单一偏振模区域,能实现很好的同步性,但接近两模共存时,同步质量急剧下降;在两模共存区域,偏振模的连续性差,同步质量不理想.两模共存时的同步质量比单一偏振模差的这一特性,与已报道的基于光反馈的情景相反.产生这一特殊现象的原因是光电负反馈诱发了偏振模竞争效应.此外,还发现内部参数的变化对两个混沌区域的选取有较大 关键词： 线性偏振模 光电负反馈 垂直腔表面发射激光器（VCSEL） 混沌同步     

Effect of texture dispersion on the effective biaxial modulus of cubic polycrystalline films

The effective biaxial modulus of fiber-textured cubic polycrystalline films with texture dispersion is estimated using Voigt-Reuss-Hill and Vook-Witt grain-interaction models. The orientation distribution function with Gaussian distributions of two Euler angles θ and ? is adopted to analyze the effect of texture dispersion degree on the effective biaxial modulus. Numerical results based on Cu and Cr fiber-textured films show that the distribution of angle ? has slight influence on the effective biaxial modulus of (0 0 1)-fiber-textured films if and only if the distribution of out-of-plane angle θ is narrow. Enhanced θ and ? distributions destroy the perfect fiber textures and as a result the films represent an evolution of ideal (h k l) fiber textures to nonideal or random textures with varying full widths at half maximums of θ and ?.     

Inertial spin Hall effect in non-commutative space

In the present Letter the study of inertial spin current (that appears in an accelerated frame of reference) is extended to Non-Commutative (NC) space. In the Hamiltonian framework, the Dirac Hamiltonian in an accelerating frame is computed in the low energy regime by exploiting the Foldy–Wouthuysen scheme. The NC θ-effect appears from the replacement of normal products and commutators by Moyal ?-products and ?-commutators. In particular, the commutator between the external magnetic vector potential and the potential induced by acceleration becomes non-trivial. Expressions for θ-corrected inertial spin current and conductivity are derived explicitly. We have provided yet another way of experimentally measuring θ. The θ bound is obtained from the out of plane spin polarization, which is experimentally observable.     

Separate Polarization Modes Synchronization and Synchronization Switches between Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers

For vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) with polarization-rotated feedback, there exist several synchronization types such as synchronizations between total powers and synchronizations between separate polarization modes. Based on the two-mode rate equations, we study and compare numerically the performances of different synchronization types. Our results show that three synchronization types exhibit good performances when their synchronization conditions are satisfied. They are the complete synchronization between total powers, complete synchronization between x-polarized modes, and generalized synchronization between x-polarized and y-polarized modes. The former two types are sensitive to the injection rate and spontaneous emission, while the third type is contrary. Synchronization type with the best performance may switch from one to another, with changing of injection rate and spontaneous emission factor.

Numerical study of the nonlocal effects in a charge density wave system

When a segment of charge density wave (CDW) conductor is submitted to an external electric field, a voltage arises in the neighboring segment where no external electric field is applied. Despite its long-term correlation, the collective mode of a CDW should not extend beyond current injection electrodes; however, the imposed boundary conditions to the sample at the injection current contacts affect the CDW state's far away the region between these latter. A phase gradient ∇φ is established between the region where the CDW slide and the region where it is still pinned (zero electric field); this can destroy the CDW state, hence a mechanism “phase slip” to remove the phase gradient established in the system.In this letter, we present a numerical study based on the Fukuyama-Lee-Rice (FLR) model of the nonlocal phenomenon in a one-dimensional CDW system in the weak pinning limit case.     

Polarized SERS study of an individual Ag nanowire with bulb humps

Polarization-dependent surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of an individual Ag nanowire (NW) with bulb humps (including nm-scaled bulb humps on the body part and a bulb NW-tip) was investigated. Strong SERS effect was observed from the bulb NW-tip, which exhibited cos²θ dependence relative to the polarization angle θ of the incident laser. Such dependence is similar to that of the NW-body with bulb humps, but different from that of the other NW-tip with crown shape. Their different polarized SERS behaviors along with the bulb hump effect on SERS were discussed.     

Polarization fluctuations of Gaussian Schell-model type photon beams in a slant channel with non-Kolmogorov turbulence

Polarization properties of Gaussian Schell-mode type photon beams propagating through the non-Kolmogorov turbulence in a slant channel are studied which are based on the model of quantum field and the effective photon annihilation/creation operator. Our numerical results show that the degree of polarization increases with the increasing of the transverse coherent width of source ρ_s0, the source's transverse size ω₀ and the power law of the turbulent spectrum, but the degree of polarization P decreases as the zenith angle θ increases. The effect of the wavelength of light beam on the degree of polarization of Gaussian Schell-model beams is small.
