用于超快束匀滑的动态波前调控新方案

提出了利用光克尔效应实现激光束波前动态调控,进而实现焦斑超快束匀滑(ps量级)的方案,其原理是利用抽运光动态改变光克尔介质的折射率分布,以对透射主激光束附加时空耦合的动态波前,进而使激光束在靶面的焦斑散斑产生更加快速、多样的变化,最终实现焦斑的超快束匀滑.当抽运光时间波形为高斯脉冲序列,且以小角度倾斜入射至光克尔介质时,由于抽运光和光克尔介质对主激光附加随时间横向移动的周期性球面相位,且球面相位的幅值随时间不断变化,因而可以同步实现激光束焦面散斑的横向和径向超快速扫动,从而更为有效地改善靶面辐照均匀性.

All-optical flip-flop composed of a single nonlinear passive microring coupled to two straight waveguides

Microrings can have different hysteresis characteristics at their different resonance frequencies. They can be used as a multi-hysteresis optical component. In this paper an optical D-flip-flop circuit composed of a single nonlinear passive microring coupled to two straight waveguide based on the Kerr effect is proposed. The proposed circuit can operate as an optical digital circuit which synchronizes input DATA with the CLOCK of the circuit.

Theoretical analysis of hot-image effect in a high-power laser system with cascaded nonlinear medium

We present a universally applicable and quick method to forecast the intensity and location of the hot-image effects in a high-power laser system structured by cascaded Kerr medium plates. The analytical expressions for the locations and the peak intensity of the hot-images are deduced by using propagation matrix method. The results are useful for laser designers to estimate and minimize the threat of optical damage. Theoretical analysis demonstrates that a maximum of N hot-images may appear in a laser system structured by N cascaded Kerr medium plates and the distance between two adjacent hot-images is two times the interval between two adjacent Kerr medium plates. The number and locations of the hot-images are related with the number of the Kerr medium plates, the distance from the scatterer to the front of the first Kerr medium plate, and the interval between two adjacent Kerr medium plates. The peak intensity of the hot-images depends on the number of the Kerr medium plates, the B-integral of each Kerr medium plate, the amplitude and phase modulation coefficients of the scatterer and the peak intensity of the input beam. The hot-image effects in a laser system with cascaded Kerr medium plates from two to eight are discussed in detail and numerically analyzed. Numerical simulation results are in agreement with the theoretical results.     

Kerr缺陷一维耦合腔光波导的双稳态方向性

本文提出一种只在一层高折射率介质层中掺杂Kerr介质的一维耦合腔光波导.利用一维传输矩阵理论和非线性传输矩阵方法研究了此结构的光学双稳态.根据一维传输矩阵理论分析了此结构的线性特性,包括低频带边模的偏移及场分布的特点,讨论了此结构实现双稳态的原理.研究发现:由于缺陷层中场分布与入射光方向密切相关,而缺陷层光场的局域,将激发Kerr介质的三阶非线性效应,从而改变了缺陷层的折射率,所以不同方向的入射光具有不同的双稳态阈值.利用非线性传输矩阵方法研究了光学双稳态特性.结果表明:由于缺陷层的位置导致缺陷模正方向（由左到右）入射的场分布大于反方向（由右到左）入射的场分布,正方向的阈值低于反方向的阈值,相差一倍.     

Enhanced Kerr nonlinearity in a quantized four-level graphene nanostructure

In this paper, a new model is proposed for manipulating the Kerr nonlinearity of right-hand circular probe light in a monolayer of graphene nanostructure. By using the density matrix equations and quantum optical approach, the third-order susceptibility of probe light is explored numerically. It is realized that the enhanced Kerr nonlinearity with zero linear absorption can be provided by selecting the appropriate quantities of controllable parameters, such as Rabi frequency and elliptical parameter of elliptical polarized coupling field. Our results may be useful applications in future all-optical system devices in nanostructures.     

Laser heterodyne cross-polarized technique for inspection of magnetic disks

A new optical technique for observation of service magnetic tracks on magnetic disks is developed. Weak depolarization of the probe beam due to longitudinal magneto-optical Kerr effect is detected by means of heterodyne mixing of the two cross-polarized and frequency shifted waves generated by Zeeman-type laser. In comparison with the traditional homodyne method the proposed technique has better sensitivity and spatial resolution. Experimental results obtained with standard sample magnetic disks showed the signal-to-noise ratio of about 10, and the spatial resolution of about 30 μm. A possibility of the phase-contrast super-resolution is discussed.

Experimental study on the chirped structure of the white-light continuum generation by femtosecond laser spectroscopy

The chirped structure of the white-light continuum generation (WLCG) pulse produced by focusing 800nm laser pulse with a pulse duration of 150fs (FWHM: full-width-at-half-maximum) onto a 2.4 mm thick sapphire plate was investigated by the optical Kerr gate technique with normal hexane as the optical Kerr gate medium. The observed WLCG was positively chirped, the measured anti-Stokes spectrum of WLCG ranges from 449 to 580nm with a temporal span of 2.56ps. When using metal reflecting mirrors to eliminate the group velocity dispersion (GVD) effect, we found that a span of 1.3ps still remained, indicating that the chirped pulse cannot be accounted for simply by GVD of the pulse propagation in the dispersive media. Our results suggest that the light-induced refractive index change due to the third-order nonlinear optical effect leads to an additional positive group velocity dispersion, which contributes to an important portion of the observed temporal broadening of the chirped WLCG. In addition to using reflective optical elements instead of dispersive optical elements, an effective way of reducing the chirp is to minimize the optical path length of the WLCG medium.
