基于大气湍流光闪烁的真随机数提取研究

针对真随机数生成问题，提出基于大气湍流光闪烁图像的真随机数提取方法。利用相机获取波长为532 nm的激光经过大气湍流传输后的光斑图像，根据其闪烁特性，分别采用固定间隔选取和多步长选取的方式选取光斑图像，固定间隔选择50帧，多步长选择30帧、70帧和100帧，得到的光斑图像相关性很弱，相关系数均小于0.3，由于湍流效应的影响，图像中的像素点发生无规则变化，通过对像素点作组合计算以提取随机序列；通过NIST(national institute of science and technology)随机性测试的方法，对提取的随机序列进行测试。实验结果表明:固定间隔选取的随机序列随机效果一般，测试结果存在P值小于0.01的情况，而多步长选取测试的P值均大于0.01，可以通过随机性测试。     

Stable single-mode operation of 894.6 nm VCSEL at high temperatures for Cs atomic sensing

In this paper, stable single-mode operation at high temperatures is produced by the surface-relief-integrated vertical cavity surface emitting laser(VCSEL). The gain-cavity mode detuning technique is employed to realize high operating temperatures for the VCSEL. The surface relief is etched in the centre of the top side as a mode discriminator for the fundamental mode output, and the threshold current minimum is 1.94 mA at high temperatures by the gain-cavity mode detuning technique. Maximum single-fundamental-mode output power of 0.45 mW at 80℃ is obtained, and the side mode suppression ratios(SMSRs) are more than 30 dB with increasing temperature and current, respectively.     

Novel single-transverse-mode control of VCSELs with dielectric mode filter

We establish a novel method of controlling the transverse modes of vertical cavity surface emitting lasers(VCSELs)to achieve 1 mW single-fundamental-mode lasing. A dielectric mode filter is installed on top of the VCSEL. The dielectric layer(SiO_2) is deposited and patterned to modify the mirror reflectivity across the oxide aperture via antiphase reflections.This mode selection is nondestructive and universally applicable for other structures under single transverse mode. Destructive etching techniques(dry/wet) or epitaxial regrowth are also not required. This method simplifies the preparation process and improves the repeatability of the device. Measurements show that under continuous-wave current injection, the side-mode suppression ratio exceeds 30 dB.
