2 W quasi-white-light based on idler-resonant optical parametric oscillation cascading sum-frequency generation with PPSLT

We present a high power red-green-blue (RGB) laser light source based on cascaded quasi-phasematched wavelength conversions in a single stoichiometric lithium tantalate. The superiority of the experimental setup is: the facula of the incident beam is elliptical to increase interaction volume, and the cavity was an idler resonant configuration for realizing more efficient red and blue light output. An average power of 2 W of quasi-white-light was obtained by proper combination of the RGB three colors. The conversion efficiency for the power of the quasi-white-light over pump power reached 36%. This efficiency and powerful RGB laser light source has potential applications in laser-based projection display et al.     

Anomalous transport effects for the metal and insulator doped La0.833K0.167MnO3 systems

The La_0.833K_0.167MnO₃:Ag₂O and the La_0.833K_0.167MnO₃:SrTiO₃ samples are fabricated by the sol–gel method. The microstructure, magnetic and transportation properties have been systematically studied. X-ray diffraction patterns show that the La_0.833K_0.167MnO₃:Ag₂O (abbreviated as LKMO/Ag) sample is a two-phase composite and consists of a magnetic La_0.833K_0.167MnO₃ (abbreviated as LKMO) perovskite phase and a nonmagnetic Ag metal phase, while the structure of the La_0.833K_0.167MnO₃:SrTiO₃ (abbreviated as LKMO/STO) sample is a homogeneous solid solution phase. Comparing with the pure LKMO sample, the room temperature magnetoresistance (MR) effect for the LKMO/Ag sample is enhanced significantly due to the addition of Ag metal. The MR ratio increases from ∼25% for the pure LKMO sample to 65% for the LKMO/Ag sample under a higher field of 5.5 T at 300 K. For the LKMO/STO sample, however, the room temperature MR effect is weakened dramatically and is almost close to zero due to the addition of SrTiO₃ insulator. In the low temperature regime below the Curie temperature, the MR behaviors are different from that of the room temperature; that is, the MR effect is decreased for the LKMO/Ag sample and increased for the LKMO/STO sample with temperature decrease. In fact, the low-field (μ₀H=0.5 T) MR decreases from 32% to 5% for the LKMO/Ag sample, while increasing from 0.07% to 25% for the LKMO/STO sample with decreasing temperature from 300 to 4 K. The relative change between the intrinsic and the extrinsic MR, and varied roles of the spin-polarized-tunneling and the spin-dependent scattering mechanisms in different temperature regimes are employed to interpret the anomalous transport behaviors.

Coupling influence on the refractive index sensitivity of photonic wire ring resonator

By taking the coupling effect into consideration, we study the resonance condition of a photonic wire microring resonator (PWRR) sensor and compare our results with the previous work. Simulation results show that the resonant wavelength and sensitivity strongly depend on the coupling strength. The difference caused by the coupling effect can be up to tens of nanometers for the resonant peak position and tens of nm/RIU for the sensitivity in a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) PWRR. Such a giant influence from coupling effect cannot be disregarded and should be considered seriously for the design and application of PWRRs. It also shows an alternative tuning technique by controlling the coupling strength.

Hartley’s oscillator: The simplest chaotic two-component circuit

This paper shows an experimental evidence of chaos in one of the simplest imaginable autonomous implicit Hartley’s oscillator made simply of a junction field effect transistor (JFET) and a tapped coil. The experimental setup is implemented. The variations of amplitude of the oscillations through the control element are obtained showing the domain of existence of chaos. Phase portraits of the PSpice simulation, of the numerical integration and of the experiment are displayed, confirming a good agreement between theory and praxis.     

Improved λ/4 phase-shifted DFB semiconductor laser with spatial hole burning compensation using grating chirp

A λ/4 phase-shifted distributed feedback (DFB) semiconductor laser with a preformed chirped grating used to compensate the spatial hole burning (SHB) induced index change is proposed and analyzed. It shows that compared with the three phase shifted DFB laser which is known for its good performance to eliminate SHB, the proposed SHB compensated laser has better single longitudinal mode property, narrower spectral linewidth and better dynamic characteristics.     

Phase separation dynamics of a poly(vinyl methyl ether)/polystyrene (PVME/PS) blend studied by ultrafast differential scanning calorimetry

In this work, ultrafast differential scanning calorimetry (UFDSC) is used to study the dynamics of phase separation. Taking poly(vinyl methyl ether)/polystyrene (PVME/PS) blend as the example, we firstly obtained the phase diagram that has lower critical solution temperature (LCST), together with the glass transition temperature (T_g) of the homogeneous blend with different composition. Then, the dynamics of the phase separation of the PVME/PS blend with a mass ratio of 7:3 was studied in the time range from milliseconds to hours, by the virtue of small time and spatial resolution that UFDSC offers. The time dependence of the glass transition temperature (T_g) of PVME‐rich phase, shows a distinct change when the annealing temperature (T_a) changes from below to above 385 K. This corresponds to the transition from the nucleation and growth (NG) mechanism to the spinodal decomposition (SD) mechanism, as was verified by morphological and rheometric investigations. For the SD mechanism, the temperature‐dependent composition evolution in PVME‐rich domain was found to follow the Williams–Landel–Ferry (WLF) laws. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

Improvement of moving particle semi‐implicit method for simulation of progressive water waves

Precise simulation of the propagation of surface water waves, especially when involving breaking wave, takes a significant place in computational fluid dynamics. Because of the strong nonlinear properties, the treatment of large surface deformation of free surface flow has always been a challenging work in the development of numerical models. In this paper, the moving particle semi‐implicit (MPS) method, an entirely Lagrangian method, is modified to simulate wave motion in a 2‐D numerical wave flume preferably. In terms of consecutive pressure distribution, a new and simple free surface detection criterion is proposed to enhance the free surface recognition in the MPS method. In addition, a revised gradient model is deduced to diminish the effect of nonuniform particle distribution and then to reduce the numerical wave attenuation occurring in the original MPS model. The applicability and stability of the improved MPS method are firstly demonstrated by the calculation of hydrostatic problem. It is revealed that these modifications are effective to suppress the pressure oscillation, weaken the local particle clustering, and boost the stability of numerical algorithm. It is then applied to investigate the propagation of progressive waves on a flat bed and the wave breaking on a mild slope. Comparisons with the analytical solutions and experimental results indicate that the improved MPS model can give better results about the profiles and heights of surface waves in contrast with the previous MPS models.
