Scheme for implementing quantum dense coding with W-class state in cavity QED

An experimentally feasible protocol for realizing dense coding by using a class of W-state in cavity quantum electrodynamics （QED） is proposed in this paper. The prominent advantage of our scheme is that the successful probability of the dense coding with a W-class state can reach 1. In addition, the scheme can be implemented by the present cavity QED techniques.     

New bifurcations of basin boundaries involving Wada and a smooth Wada basin boundary

This paper demonstrates and analyses double heteroclinic tangency in a three-well potential model, which can produce three new types of bifurcations of basin boundaries including from smooth to Wada basin boundaries, from fractal to Wada basin boundaries in which no changes of accessible periodic orbits happen, and from Wada to Wada basin boundaries. In a model of mechanical oscillator, it shows that a Wada basin boundary can be smooth.     

Efficient scheme of quantum SWAP gate and multi-atom cluster state via cavity QED

In this paper, we propose a physical scheme to realize quantum SWAP gate by using a large-detuned single-mode cavity field and two identical Rydberg atoms. It is shown that the scheme can also be used to create multi-atom cluster state. During the interaction between atom and cavity, the cavity is only virtually excited and thus the scheme is insensitive to the cavity field states and cavity decay. With the help of our scheme it is very simple to prepare the N-atom cluster state with perfect fidelity and probability. The practical feasibility of this method is also discussed.     

Short Tm3+-doped fiber lasers with watt-level output near 2 μm

High-power operation of diode-pumped fiber lasers at wavelength near 2μm are demonstrated with short length of heavily Tm3 -doped silica glass fibers. With 7-cm long fiber, a laser at near 2 μm is obtained with the threshold of 135 mW, maximum output power of 1.09 W, and slope efficiency of 9.6% with respect to the launched power from a laser diode at 790 nm. The output stability of this fiber laser is within 5%.The dependence of the performance of fiber lasers on the operation temperature and cavity configuration parameters is also investigated.     

Study on hydrogen sulfide plasma passivation of 790-nm laser diode cavity surface

In order to improve the optical properties of the Ⅲ-Ⅴ laser diodes(LDs) by means of H2S plasma passivation technology,H2S plasma passivation treatment is performed on the GaAs(110) surface.The optimum passivation conditions obtained are 60-W radio frequency(RF)power and 20-min duration.So the laser cavity surfaces axe treated under the optimum passivation conditions.Consequently,compared with unpassivated lasers with only AR/HR-coatings,the catastrophic optical damage (COD) threshold value of the passivated lasers by H2S plasma treatment is increased by 33%,which is almost the same as that of (NH4)2Sx treatment.And the life-test experiment has demonstrated that this passivation method is more stable than(NH4)2Sx solution wet-passivated treatment.     

LOM and HOM damping study in a superconducting deflecting cavity for ALS at LBNL

Superconducting deflecting cavities can be used in synchrotron light source to generate subpicosecond X-ray pulses while the impedance of the lower order modes (LOM) and higher order modes (HOM) in the cavity should be kept below an accepted level to avoid beam instability. These modes can be damped by adding waveguide on beam pipe. Detailed simulation of Q in CST Microwave Studio is introduced and experiment results on an aluminum model cavity with damping waveguide are reported to make a comparison.     

Design of the low energy beam transport line for the China spallation neutron source

The design of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) low-energy beam transport (LEBT) line, which locates between the ion source and the radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ), has been completed with the TRACE3D code. The design aims at perfect matching, primary chopping, a small emittance growth and sufficient space for beam diagnostics. The line consists of three solenoids, three vacuum chambers, two steering magnets and a pre-chopper. The total length of LEBT is about 1.74 m. This LEBT is designed to transfer 20 mA of H-pulsed beam from the ion source to the RFQ. An induction cavity is adopted as the pre-chopper.The electrostatic octupole steerer is discussed as a candidate. A four-quadrant aperture for beam scraping and beam position monitoring is designed.     

Novel Design of Laser with SBS Phase Conjugation Mirror

The beam quality of a single-rod Nd: YAG laser with wavelength of 1.06 m was improved almost up to the diffraction limit by using a phase-conjugating mirror (PCM) based on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) with acetone as the SBS medium. The new start cavity, which is the concave-convex cavity operating near the limit of stability in the g diagram, and the phase conjugation cavity of the SBS oscillator were designed. The thermal lens of the material with focal lengths of less than 140 m at pump powers of 60 J was compensated by the PCM. The laser is Q-switched by the nonlinear reflectivity of the PCM and the system works with an average repetition rate of about 5 kHz and single Q-switch pulse showed a width of 10 ns. It is demonstrated that if the start cavity is fit for SBS and the SBS phase conjugation mirror can be optimized, the beam quality of solid laser can be surely enhanced because of this technology of nonlinear optics.     

High Refractive-Index Microspheres as Optical Cavity Structure

Microspheres of refractive index of n_D > 2.0 have been investigated. The organic-inorganic hybrid microspheres of n_D = 1.72 were prepared by the vibrating orifice technique using titanium-tetra-n-butoxide (TTBu) and diphenyldimethoxysilane (DPhDMS). For lasing demonstration, Eu³⁺-doped microspheres were prepared using europium (III) thenoyltrifluoroacetonate [Eu(TTFA)₃] as the dopant. The particles have good spherical shape, smooth surface and high optical transparency. The diameters of the particles could be controlled to within 0.1 m. Subsequent heating of the microspheres at 550°C under oxygen atmosphere resulted in an increase in the refractive index up to n_D = 2.6 with retention of the spherical shape. Resonant emission was confirmed from Eu^{3 +}-doped microspheres after heating at 400–550°C, by pumping with the 514.5 nm line of a CW- Ar⁺laser.
