典型控制参量对铁电液晶光电响应速度的影响

利用Pspice等效电路模型, 模拟了入射光波长、温度以及激励电压频率等典型参量对铁电液晶光电响应速度的控制作用. 模拟结果表明, 在可见光范围内, 响应速度随波长的增加而减慢; 温度参量则存在一个拐点, 响应速度在该点达到极小值; 同时, 激励电压存在一个上界频率, 当频率参量取值超过界值时会对响应速度产生较大影响.     

Polarization switching and synchronization of mutually coupled vertical-cavity surface-emitting semiconductor lasers

Polarization switching （PS） dynamics and synchronization performances of two mutually coupled vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers （VCSELs） are studied theoretically in this paper. A group of dimensionless rate equations is derived to describe our model. While analysing the PS characteristics, we focus on the effects of coupling rate and frequency detuning regarding different mutual injection types. The results indicate that the x-mode injection defers the occurrence of PS, while the y-mode injection leads the PS to occur at a lower current. Strong enough polarization-selective injection can suppress the PS. Moreover, if frequency detuning is considered, the effects of polarization-selective mutual injection will be weakened. To evaluate the synchronization performance, the correlation coefficients and output dynamics of VCSELs with both pure mode and mixed mode polarizations are given. It is found that performance of complete synchronization is sensitive to the frequency mismatch but it is little affected by mixed mode polarizations, which is opposite to the case of injection-locking synchronization.     

非即变相位共轭反馈对半导体激光器动态特性的影响

从四波混频产生相位共轭的物理原因出发,定义了相位共轭镜（PCM）的响应时间．建立起非即变相位共轭反馈条件下半导体激光器的外腔模型。以响应时间及频率失调为参变量,对其分岔及噪声等动态行为进行数值分析。结果表明,不考虑噪声影响时,增加相位共轭镜响应时间会使混沌带出现的次数和范围得到较大的抑制,当响应时间增大到1．5ns时,混沌带消失,半导体激光器保持稳定的单周期状态;考虑噪声影响后,随若响应时间的相对强度噪声（RIN）可减小几dB甚至十几dB,产生突变需要的反馈量也增大一个数量级以上,且其频谱的峰值向高频方向移动;另外,由于共轭反馈引起的频率失调低于半导体激光器激射频率3个数量级以上．它只对分岔特性有影响．对相对强度噪声的影响几乎为零。     

Theoretical study on phase conjugation in weakly injected vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers

This paper gives a detailed theoretical investigation on phase conjugation induced by nearly degenerate fourwave mixing in single mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers （VCSELs） with weak optical injection. Considering VCSELs that can work in linearly polarized or elliptically polarized states, it derives the theoretical expression of the conjugated field by small signal analysis based on the vectoral rate equations-the spin-flip model. For linearly polarized state, VCSELs show similar conjugate spectra to edge-emitting semiconductor lasers. For the elliptically polarized state, dichroism and birefringence parameters as well as the spin-flip rate can change the conjugate spectra. Especially, when frequency detuning of the probe and pump waves is between the positive and negative relaxation oscillation frequency, changes are evident. For specific values of parameters, conjugate efficiency between 20 dB to 40 dB are obtained.     

铁电液晶光寻址空间光调制器响应速度的宏模型研究

将铁电液晶(FLC)的本征电路模型扩展到以FLC为调制层,a Si∶H为光敏层的光寻址空间光调制器(OASLM),建立了FLC OASLM的宏模型。用电路方法模拟了控制光强度以及外部激励信号的特征参数对FLC OASLM响应速度的影响。模拟结果表明,FLC OASLM的响应速度随写入光强度和激励信号幅度的增大而加快,随擦除光强度和激励信号频率的提高而减慢。同时,激励信号存在一个上界频率,当频率参数取值超过界值时,响应峰值迅速下降。

针对以金属铝作反射介质的铁电液晶光寻址空间光调制器,提出了一类光-光等效电路模型,达到拓展电路模型到调制器光电响应特性研究的目的.擦除光对光电响应特性影响的模拟结果表明,擦除光能极大加快信息的擦除速度,帧速2.2 kHz,写入光强10 mW/cm2时,取擦除光强为10 mW/cm2,恰能将信息擦除.擦除光能有效抑制调制器的非期望输出光功率和调节器件的光电响应速度；对应于无擦除光注入的情况,注入1 mW/cm2擦出光使非期望输出光功率下降77%,响应速度减慢9%.通过设计肖特基势垒高度,擦除光可实现对读出光的开关和灰度调制等功能.给出了实现灰度调制功能的实例.由该模型得到的仿真实验结果在趋势与量级上均与有关文献的实测结果一致.

提出了关于V字型铁电液晶(V-shaped Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal,VFLC)的等效电路模型,旨在将EDA技术引入对VFLC光电集成系统进行研究、开发和设计。该模型考虑了由铁电液晶盒多层结构和驱动电路引起的阻抗分配效应,以及极化与非极化锚定能对VFLC光电响应特性的影响。演示了电光迟滞曲线的反常迟滞、V字型及正常迟滞状态,并着重就自发极化强度对电光迟滞曲线的影响给出了模拟结果和分析。结果表明:强制电压随驱动信号频率的提高而增加,但增加速度随自发极化强度的提高而减慢;强制电压和迟滞反转频率随自发极化强度的变化均存在一个拐点,强制电压在自发极化强度为80nC/cm2时取到最小值(-0.084V),迟滞反转频率在自发极化强度为90nC/cm2时达到最大值(6.4Hz);自发极化强度小于80nC/cm2时,迟滞反转频率随自发极化强度准线性增加。模拟结果从量级和趋势上均与实验结果吻合。     

非啁啾取样光纤布拉格光栅反射峰值波长的分析

推导并验证了非啁啾取样光纤布拉格光栅(SFBG)反射谱中反射峰值波长的表达式。基于种子光栅中心波长对应的折射率调制深度和取样光纤布拉格光栅折射率调制函数的傅里叶级数展开式,提炼出取样光纤布拉格光栅的折射率调制深度和各阶光栅周期,从而导出其反射峰值波长的表达式。由于考虑了占空比、取样周期等取样光纤布拉格光栅的结构参量,因而表达式能够描述反射峰的分布。仿真实验中,不同占空比或取样周期下计算出的反射峰值波长、信道间隔符合数值反射谱。该表达式既适用于均匀取样光纤布拉格光栅,也适用于交流切趾和交直流切趾取样光纤布拉格光栅。
