Time-Resolved Femtosecond Degenerate Four-Wave Mixing in LiNbO3：Fe,Mg Crystal

Forward degenerate four-wave mixing （DFWM） processes are investigated with a femtosecond pulsed laser in lithium niobate crystal doubly-doped with magnesium and iron （LiNbO3：Fe, Mg）. The pulse energy dependence reveals a pure third-order nonlinear response, and the third-order nonlinear susceptibility x^（3） in the material is evaluated to be 4.96 × 10^-13 esu. The time-resolved DFWM process shows a response time of x^（3） shorter than 100fs, which is due to the nonresonant electronic nonlinearities. Our results indicate that LiNbO3 crystals have potentials for ultrafast real-time optical processing systems, which require a large and fast x^（3） optical nonlinearity.     

Diode-Pumped Self-Q-Switched Cr,Nd：YAG Laser with High Average Output Power

A diode end-pumped self-Q-switched Cr,Nd:YAG laser was established with pulse duration in the range of 8-10ns. The maximum average output power was 4.4 W and the slope efficiency was 27% using an output coupler of R=70%. At pumping power of 17.4 W the laser produces high-quality pulses at 1064 nm in a TEMoo-mode.     

Theoretical calculation of energy levels and radiative lifetimes of Tl I

Considering the perturbation, the results of theoretical calculation of five Rydberg series energy levels 6s2ns^2S1/2 （n = 7 - 20）, 6s^2nd^2D3/2 （n = 6 - 20）, 6s^2nd^2D5/2 （n = 6 - 20）, 6s^2np^2P1/2^0 （n = 7- 20）, and 6s^2np^2P3/2^0 （n = 7-20） for Tl I are presented using the weakest bound electron potential model （WBEPM） theory. Furthermore, the radiative lifetimes of this five series are also calculated. The calculated values of energy levels and lifetimes are in good agreement with the experimental results.

Security Simulation of Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution over Air-to-Water Channel Using Monte Carlo Method

Considering the ocean water's optical attenuation and the roughness of the sea surface, we analyze the security of continuous-variable(CV) quantum key distribution(QKD) based air-to-water channel. The effects of the absorption and scattering on the transmittance of underwater quantum channel and the maximum secure transmission distance are studied. Considering the roughness of the sea surface, we simulate the performance bounds of CV QKD with different wind speeds using the Monte Carlo method. The results show that even if the secret key rate gradually reduces as the wind speed increases, the maximum transmission distance will not be affected obviously.Compared to the works regarding short-distance underwater optical communication, our research represents a significant step towards establishing secure communication between air platform and submarine vehicle.     

Finite-size analysis of eight-state continuous-variable quantum key distribution with the linear optics cloning machine

We propose a method to improve the secret key rate of an eight-state continuous-variable quantum key distribution(CVQKD) by using a linear optics cloning machine(LOCM). In the proposed scheme, an LOCM is exploited to compensate for the imperfections of Bob's apparatus, so that the generated secret key rate of the eight-state protocol could be well enhanced. We investigate the security of our proposed protocol in a finite-size scenario so as to further approach the practical value of a secret key rate. Numeric simulation shows that the LOCM with reasonable tuning gain λ and transmittance τcan effectively improve the secret key rate of eight-state CVQKD in both an asymptotic limit and a finite-size regime.Furthermore, we obtain the tightest bound of the secure distance by taking the finite-size effect into account, which is more practical than that obtained in the asymptotic limit.     

金与银电极表面甘氨酸分子吸附作用的SERS光谱研究

本文利用表面增强拉曼光谱(SERS)技术研究了甘氨酸在金与银基底表面的吸附作用特征。研究表明甘氨酸分子以COO-的不对称形式吸附于金电极表面,且NH2也是其可能的吸附位点;而在银电极表面,则主要是通过COO-的对称形式而吸附。在此基础上,进一步研究了电极电位与溶液酸碱性对吸附于粗糙化银电极表面甘氨酸分子吸附作用的影响。研究结果表明,甘氨酸分子中去质子化羧基的吸附作用受电位影响较小,而电位对-NH3+吸附作用的影响程度较大。另一方面,溶液pH值对银电极表面的甘氨酸分子吸附行为的影响也较为显著。随着溶液酸性减小羧基倾向于相对于电极表面平行吸附。这是由于随着溶液碱性增大氨基质子化程度的减小,有利于氨基在银电极表面吸附。这将改变分子的吸附构型使其更接近于电极表面。这些变化主要出现在pH值大于10的条件下。
