耗散腔中简并Raman耦合系统中光场的相位特性

利用Pegg-Barnett相位理论,研究了耗散腔中两个A型原子与相干态光场在Raman相互作用下光场的相位特性,并讨论了光场平均光子数和腔场耗散系数对光场相位特性的影响.结果表明:当腔不存在损耗时,光场相位分布概率以π/λ作周期性振荡;且在t=nπ/λ时刻,光场和原子是退纠缠的,相位分布概率曲线在极坐标图中呈单叶型结构;但在演化周期内,由于光场与原子的相互作用相位分布概率曲线会劈裂为多叶型结构.当腔场存在损耗时,相位分布概率的叶型结构会向中心扩散最终变为一个圆,即表明在考虑腔场耗散时光场的相位最终会变为随机分布;而且腔的耗散系数越大,光场相位越快趋于随机分布.另外,随光场的平均光子数增大,光场相位分布趋于集中.光场相位涨落受到腔场耗散的影响呈现出衰减周期振荡最终达到稳定值,而且达稳定值所需时间随耗散系数的增大而缩短.

相位耗散原子光场耦合系统中光场的相位特性

利用Pegg-Barnett相位理论,研究了耗散腔中多个Λ型原子与相干态光场在拉曼相互作用下光场的相位特性,讨论了原子数、光场平均光子数和腔场耗散系数对光场相位特性的影响。研究表明,当腔不存在耗散时,光场与原子相互作用使相位分布以周期为π/λ振荡;在t=nπ/λ时刻,光场和原子退纠缠,相位分布概率曲线在极坐标图中呈单叶型结构;在演化周期内,光场与原子的相互作用使相位分布概率曲线分裂为多叶型结构。当腔存在耗散时,相位分布概率的叶型结构逐渐演化为以坐标原点为中心的圆,即光场相位最终演化为随机分布;腔的耗散系数越大,光场相位趋于随机分布越快。另外,原子数的变化,并不影响相位分布的叶形结构,只是引起相位涨落周期性振荡的加剧。

基于相位分析的时间平均数字全息测振研究

传统的时间平均全息术通过对再现像光强分布的测量来实现振幅分布的检测,由于噪音影响往往得不到满意的结果.第一类零阶贝塞尔函数相位只有0和π两个取值,所以利用再现光场的相位可以确定振幅分布.理论分析发现,以往的讨论忽略了照明光之间位移引起的相位变化,研究通过叠加一个相位因子对此进行了修正,并利用贝塞尔函数平方的相位特点提出了消除该相位因子的办法.实验结果表明,该相位因子确实存在并影响测量,用本文所提出的方法可以很好地消除该相位因子的影响,使利用时间平均数字全息再现光场的相位检测振动物体的振幅分布变得方便和准确.

Waveform Distortions in Femtosecond Laser Pulses Transmitting through Coated Optical Fiber Probes

We calculate the light field in metal-coated optical fiber probes under illumination of femtosecond laser pulses with the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method. By choosing the maximum of the calculated light field data in the time period of one light wave cycle at each spatial point, we obtain the amplitude distributions instead of the conventional light field distribution of a time instant. It is found that with an incident plane wave pulse of y-polarization, the output amplitude distributions of y-polarization have roughly a circled-cross-like pattern with two arc-like zero-amplitude zones. By analyzing the y-polarized waveforms versus time at the points near the arc-like zero-amplitude zones, we find that waveform distortions appear at points in the neighborhood of the zero amplitude lines and in the time intervals when two wave-packets overlap.     

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.     

Angular momentum conversion of elliptically polarized beams focused by high numerical-aperture phase Fresnel zone plates

Based on the vectorial Debye theory, we investigate the tight focusing of elliptically polarized light beams by high numerical-aperture (NA) phase Fresnel zone plates (FZP). The conversion of the spin angular momentum (SAM) and the orbital angular momentum (OAM) in the tight focusing of the elliptically polarized beams is investigated in great detail. It is shown that the direction and magnitude of the OAM can be directly modulated by the input polarization, providing effective evidence that the SAM carried by an elliptically polarized light beam is converted into OAM in the tight focusing process. The properties of phase retardation between x and y components of the focused field are also investigated. It is found that focused field of x and y components still keeps its original elliptical polarization state, indicating that the focused field composed of x and y components still carries SAM, whereas the focused field of z component is changed into carrying OAM. The influences of the total zone number and the phase difference of binary phase FZPs with high NA on the intensity distribution in the focal plane are also investigated.     

Star-polarization: A natural link between phase space representation and operator representation of quantum mechanics

The method of *-polarization connects phase space mechanics to the usual operator formulation of quantum theory. A *-polarization is a linear submanifold of the space of C functions on phase space. Elements of a *-polarization are in direct correspondence with the Schroedinger wave functions and this correspondence induces the Weyl correspondence between classical observables and operators. All generalized Moyal algebras admit *-polarizations and a general method is thus available for translating *-quantization into operator language.     

Amplification of fluorescence using collinear picosecond optical parametric amplification at degeneracy

We demonstrate the output characteristic of broadband parametric amplification of incoherent light pulses in a 355-nm pumped degenerate picosecond optical parametric amplification with either saturated or unsaturated amplification.The optical parametric amplifier is seeded by the fluorescence generated in a solution of pyridine-1 dye in ethanol.With the saturated amplification,we can obtain high energy incoherent light pulses,whose full width at half maximum bandwidth varies from 16 nm to 53 nm for the different phase matching angles near degeneracy.Moreover,the unsaturated bandwidth of the amplified pulses fits well to the calculated result at degeneracy.Selecting s-polarized fluorescence with a Glan-Taylor prism,the maximum bandwidth of the amplified fluorescence is found to be 59 nm for a purely s-polarized seed.The maximum output energy is 0.67 mJ for the optical parametric amplifier.By using an optical filter and compressor,the generated high energy incoherent light has great potential as the incoherent pump,signal or idler wave of a parametric down-conversion process,so that a wave with a high degree of coherence can be generated from an incoherent pump light.

Origin of spectral interferences in femtosecond stimulated Raman microscopy

In femtosecond stimulated Raman microscopy (FSRM), a spectrally narrow (Raman pump) pulse and a broad (Raman probe) laser pulse are employed to generate the Raman spectra of microscopic objects. The resulting spectra exhibit, in addition to the Raman bands, spectral modulations of comparable amplitude. Here a model is devised that attributes these modulations to a four‐wave mixing (FWM) process. Two light fields of the probe pulse and one field of the pump pulse serve as input fields. The resulting FWM field experiences a heterodyne amplification by the probe field. Simulations based on this model reproduce the appearance of the spectral modulations. Furthermore, the amplitude of the modulations exhibits dependences on the energies of pump and probe pulses as well as on the nonlinear refractive index n₂, which are in line with the model.

Pseudo-Lock-in Light Detection Method for a Sinusoidally-Gain-Modulated Photomultiplier Tube

In order to detect a weak signal varied in an intensive background light, we propose a novel pseudo-lock-in light detection scheme used for a photomultiplier tube (PMT) whose gain is modulated sinusoidally. Let the signal light incident on the PMT be modulated sinusoidally at a frequency f. In this situation, one of the dynode voltages applied for the PMT is deeply biased and a sinusoidal reference signal with a frequency f is superimposed on the bias voltage. Then, we detect a frequency component of 2f at the output of the PMT selectively. To pick up only the 2f component, we connect a digital oscilloscope directly to the output of the PMT. Thereafter the digitized waveform stored on a temporal memory of the digital oscilloscope is fast-Fourier-transformed (FFT). Two numerical values obtained from the resultant amplitude and the phase spectrum at the frequency 2f, respectively, correspond to the intensity and the phase of the modulated signal light incident on the PMT. A fundamental performance test of the proposed scheme was carried out.     

Coherent states of general time-dependent harmonic oscillator

By introducing an invariant operator, we obtain exact wave functions for a general time-dependent quadratic harmonic oscillator. The coherent states, both inx- andp-spaces, are calculated. We confirm that the uncertainty product in coherent state is always larger thankh/2 and is equal to the minimum of the uncertainty product of the number states. The displaced wave packet for Caldirola-Kanai oscillator in coherent state oscillates back and forth with time about the center as for a classical oscillator. The amplitude of oscillation with no driving force decreases due to the dissipation in the system. However, the oscillation with resonant frequency oscillates with a large amplitude, even after a sufficient time elapse.
