Numerical simulation and experiment of TA2 sheet forming under laser shock

The effects of laser energy and different shock spaces and shock times on the TA2 titanium sheet deformation are investigated experimentally and simulated numerically by ABAQUS software. The results indicate that the amount of TA2 sheet deformation increases with the increase of laser energy, varies with shock order and shock path, and is the greatest when the shocks are along the length of sheet and symmetrical.The numerically simulative results are consistent with the experimental data.

A numerical simulation of surface wave excitation in a rectangular planar-type plasma source

The principle of surface wave plasma discharge in a rectangular cavity is introduced simply based on surface plasmon polariton theory. The distribution of surface-wave electric field at the interface of the plasma-dielectric slab is investigated by using the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method (3D-FDTD) with different slot-antenna structures. And the experimental image of discharge with a novel slot antenna array and the simulation of the electric field with this slot antenna array are both displayed. Combined with the distribution of surface wave excitation and experimental results, the numerical simulation performed by using 3D-FDTD is shown to be a useful tool in the computer-aided antenna design for large area planar-type surface-wave plasma sources.     

The numerical study of shock-induced hydrodynamic instability and mixing

Based on multi-fluid volume fraction and piecewise parabolic method (PPM), a multi-viscosity-fluid hydrodynamic code MVPPM (Multi-Viscosity-Fluid Piecewise Parabolic Method) is developed and applied to the problems of shock-induced hydrodynamic interfacial instability and mixing. Simulations of gas/liquid interface instability show that the influences of initial perturbations on the fluid mixing zone (FMZ) growth are significant, especially at the late stages, while grids have only a slight effect on the FMZ width, when the interface is impulsively accelerated by a shock wave passing through it. A numerical study of the hydrodynamic interfacial instability and mixing of gaseous flows impacted by re-shocks is presented. It reveals that the numerical results are in good agreement with the experimental results and the mixing growth rate strongly depends on initial conditions. Ultimately, the jelly layer experiment relevant to the instability impacted by exploding is simulated. The shape of jelly interface, position of front face of jelly layer, crest and trough of perturbation versus time are given; their simulated results are in good agreement with experimental results.     

Subwavelength rectangular cavity partially filled with left-handed materials

In this paper, we present the electromagnetic analysis of a rectangular cavity partially filled with a left-handed material slab. Our theoretical investigation shows that there exist novel resonant modes in the cavity, and such a cavity becomes a subwavelength cavity. The eigenvalue equation of the cavity is derived and the resonant frequencies of the novel modes are calculated by using numerical simulation. We also discuss the stability of the novel resonant modes and show the best condition under which a useful rectangular cavity of subwavelength dimensions with tolerable stability is obtained.     

Pulse collapse and blue-shifted enhanced supercontinuum in a photonic crystal fiber

The blue-shifted supercontinuum generation in a photonic crystal fiber pumped by high peak power femtosecond pulses with a wavelength located in the anomalous dispersion region is investigated experimentally and numerically.The formation of a blue-shifted enhanced supercontinuum due to the pulse collapse is demonstrated.The process of the pulse collapse is measured by using the grating-eliminated no-nonsense observation of ultrafast incident laser light e-fields technique(GRENOUILLE).Numerical simulations in spectral and temporal domains are conducted.The data from the numerical simulations are in good agreement with the experimental results.Our experimental results and numerical simulations show that pulse collapse is the determining factor in the generation of a blue-shifted supercontinuum.     

Effect of cavity dissipation on the emission spectrum of an atom interacting with a field in the dispersive approximation

The emission spectrum of a two-level atom interacting dispersively with a single mode radiation field in the dissipative cavity is investigated. A general expression for the emission spectrum is derived. The numerical results for the initial field in coherent state are calculated. It is found that the spectrum structure is influenced significantly by the cavity damping constant \kappa , and the spectrum structure is dependent on the interaction time T when the cavity dissipation is present. Only one peak located at Ω_a appears in the atomic spectra for larger T.     

Study on the photonic bandgaps of hollow-core microstructured fibers

A simple method is presented to measure the transmission spectrum of hollow-core microstructured fibers in the visible, near-infrared, and mid-infrared regions. The plane wave expansion method is applied to analyze the photonic bandgaps of hollow-core microstructured fibers. The experimental results indicate that there are several strong transmission bands in the near-infrared and mid-infrared region, but hardly any transmission phenomena in the visible region, which shows that there are some bandgaps in near-infrared wavelength. The experimental results are consistent with the numerically simulative results using a plane wave expansion method.     

Precise calibration of zero-crossing temperature and drift of an ultralow expansion cavity with a clock transition spectrum

We report a clock transition spectrum approach, which is used to calibrate the zero-crossing temperature and frequency drift of an ultralow expansion(ULE) cavity with a Hertz level resolution. With this approach, the linear and nonlinear drifts of the ULE cavity along a variety of controlled temperatures are clearly presented. When the controlled temperature of ULE cavity is tuned away from the zero-crossing temperature of the ULE cavity, the cavity shows larger and larger nonlinear drift. According to our theoretical analysis and experimental results, we investigate more details of the drift property of the ULE cavity around the zero-crossing temperature, which has seldom been explored before. We can definitely conclude that the zero-crossing temperature of our ULE cavity used in an ytterbium(Yb) lattice clock is around 31.7℃.

基于亚波长光栅的VCSEL偏振控制研究

为了确定亚波长光栅在微电机械系统(MEMS)波长可调谐VCSEL不同位置(上DBR上表面、上DBR下表面以及内腔)中实现TE和TM偏振控制的光栅参数范围以及光栅在哪个位置时实现偏振控制最稳定,通过MATLAB建立MEMS波长可调VCSEL的模型,然后计算光栅在3种位置时上反射镜(包括空气隙和光栅)随光栅参数变化的反射率,以此来确定它们实现TE/TM稳定偏振的光栅参数范围(即高反射范围内的参数)。将各自的高反射所对应反射率减去相同光栅参数范围内TM/TE低反射对应的反射率,通过反射率差值确定光栅在哪种位置时MEMS波长可调谐VCSEL实现偏振是最稳定的。最后得出的结论是光栅在上DBR下表面几乎无法控制TM偏振,而将光栅放置于内腔中,无论是在TE偏振控制上还是TM偏振上都是最稳定的。在实现TE偏振稳定的参数范围内,TE的阈值增益比TM最小少10 cm~(-1);而在实现TM偏振稳定时,在TE偏振稳定的参数范围内,TE的阈值增益比TM最小少5 cm~(-1)。

Carrier dependence of the spontaneous emission factor in DBR lasers

We present the carrier dependence of the spontaneous emission factor, β, in distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) lasers using a specific example for InGaAs/InP multiple quantum wells (MQWs). Our approach is to isolate the spectral carrier dependent behaviour from cavity effects and examine the impact on the sub-threshold β value by considering three resonant modes at different positions in the spontaneous emission spectrum. The results indicate that conventional curve-fitting methods of determining β (assumed constant) from experimental data may incur significant errors since β may vary by up to a factor of 2.
