本文提出了一种用波晶片产生无衍射涡旋空心光束的新方案. 根据晶体双折射的性质, 设计波晶片的厚度, 在一块晶体薄片上对o光和e光分别形成各自的四台阶相位板, 线偏振光入射到该相位板后, o光和e光衍射按强度叠加, 利用准伽利略望远镜系统聚焦, 得到近似无衍射涡旋空心光束. 光路简单, 调节方便. 在近轴条件下, 运用菲涅耳衍射理论和经典电磁场角动量理论, 数值模拟计算了周期数不同的两块波晶片相位板衍射光强和角动量的分布, 结果表明: 两块相位板都能在较长距离内产生近似无衍射涡旋空心光束, 光强和轨道角动量的分布与螺旋相位板产生的涡旋光束基本相同. 在衍射光路中加入相位补偿器, 调节o光和e光的相位差可以调节自旋角动量的大小, 从而可以调节总角动量密度和平均光子角动量的大小. 用这种空心光束导引冷原子或冷分子, 原子在与光子相互作用过程中可获得可调的转动力矩.     

用转移矩阵方法来研究发生在势阱内的量子反射

本文利用转移矩阵方法对两种简单的具有吸引尾的势进行了研究.我们发现反射系数在波矢k→0时R=1,反射率与波矢k在k→0时呈线性关系.这说明在发生阱内量子反射时有利于超冷原子生存,因为超冷原子是低速低能原子.此外,我们可以用一个反射时间变化量Δt来判断量子反射的延迟或者超前.     

The analytical transfer matrix method for quantum reflection

In this paper,the analytical transfer matrix method(ATMM) is applied to study the properties of quantum reflection in three systems:a sech 2 barrier,a ramp potential and an inverse harmonic oscillator.Our results agree with those obtained by Landau and Lifshitz [Landau L D and Lifshitz E M 1977 Quantum Mechanics(Non-relativistic Theory)(New York:Pergamon)],which proves that ATMM is a simple and effective method for quantum reflection.     

基于SPASER机制的偏心金壳纳米天线的多波长散射特性

基于表面等离激元受激辐射放大(SPASER)机制,提出了一种硅-金-硅三层核壳偏心纳米天线,并利用有限元法分析了其多波长散射特性.结果表明:在SPASER机制下,该纳米天线产生极大的散射光强度,且工作波长的数目随着硅核偏心率的增加而增加;当硅核的偏心率为9 nm时,该纳米天线有4个共振峰,分别位于615 nm、656 nm、724 nm、847 nm,其对应的散射强度比非SPASER机制的纳米天线的散射强度高104倍;该纳米天线的散射波长还可以通过改变入射光的偏振角调节.基于SPASER机制的纳米天线对于设计多波长纳米激光器具有指导意义.     

Accurate Bound-State Spectra for Hydrogenic Donors in GaAs-（Ga, Al）As Quantum Dots

We extend the analytical transfer matrix method （ATMM） to study the bound-state spectra for hydrogenic donors in GaAs-（Ga, Al）As quantum dots. Comparison of the energy eigenvalues from ATMM with those from the wavefunction method reveals wavefunction results show large deviation from the exact ones when the radius of quantum dots ro become large, whereas ATMM is better accuracy.     

Dynamic protected lightpath provisioning in mesh WDM networks

This paper investigates the problem of dynamic protected lightpath services provisioning in optical mesh networks employing wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). A variety of schemes for dynamic protected services provisioning have been proposed, supporting a range of tradeoffs among restoration speed, capacity efficiency, and scalability. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme, called p-cycles-based maximum protected working capacity envelope (PC-MPWCE), which can offer an attractive combination of features: ring-like speed, mesh-like capacity efficiency, and good scalability. To evaluate the performance of PC-MPWCE, we compare it via simulation with 1 + 1 automatic protection switching (APS) and two well-known shared backup path protection (SBPP) on NSFNET. Our simulation results show that PC-MPWCE can achieve much better blocking performance than 1 + 1 APS, and perform the similar blocking performance and capacity efficiency as SBPP.     

Quantization rules for low dimensional quantum dots

This paper applies the analytical transfer matrix method （ATMM） to calculate energy eigenvalues of a particle in low dimensional sharp confining potential for the first time, and deduces the quantization rules of this system. It presents three cases in which the applied method works very well. In the first quantum dot, the energy eigenvalues and eigenfunction are obtained, and compared with those acquired from the exact numerical analysis and the WKB （Wentzel, Kramers and Brillouin） method; in the second or the third case, we get the energy eigenvalues by the ATMM, and compare them with the EBK （Einstein, Brillouin and Keller） results or the wavefunction outcomes. From the comparisons, we find that the semiclassical method （WKB, EBK or wavefunction） is inexact in such systems.     

Angular-modulated spatial distribution of ultrahigh-order modes assisted by random scattering

In designing an optical waveguide with metallic films on a nanometer scale, the random scattering by the natural roughness of the thin film is always ignored. In this paper, we demonstrate that for the ultrahigh-order modes (UOMs) in the symmetric metal cladding waveguide, such a scattering leads to drastic variations in their spatial distribution at different incident angles. Owing to the high mode density of the UOMs, the random scattering induced coupling can be easily related to different modes with different propagation directions or wavenumbers. At small incident angles, the intra-mode coupling dominates, which results in a spatial distribution in the form of concentric rings. At large incident angles, the inter-mode coupling plays the most important role and leads to an array-like pattern. Experimental evidence via optically trapped nanoparticles support the theoretical hypothesis.     

Critical radius and dipole polarizability for a confined system

The analytical transfer matrix method （ATMM） is applied to calculating the critical radius τc and the dipole polarizability αd in two confined systems： the hydrogen atom and the Hulthēén potential. We find that there exists a linear relation between τe^1/2 and the quantum number nτ for a fixed angular quantum number l, moreover, the three bounds of αd（αd^K,αd^B,αd^U） satisfy an inequality：αd^K≤αd^B≤αd^U,A comparison betwen the ATMM,the exact numerical analysis, and the variational wavefunctions shows that our method works very well in the systems.     

Simple Raman scattering sensor integrated with a metallic planar optical waveguide: effective modulation via minor structural adjustment

We report experimental realization of Raman spectra enhancement of copper phthalocyanine, using an on-chip metallic planar waveguide of the sub-millimeter scale. The oscillating ultrahigh order modes excited by the direct coupling method yield high optical intensity at resonance, which is different from the conventional strategy to create localized "hot spots." The observed excitation efficiency of the Raman signal is significantly enhanced,owing to the high Q factor of the resonant cavity. Furthermore, effective modulation of the Raman intensity is available by adjusting the polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA) thickness in the guiding layer, i.e., by tuning the light–matter interaction length. A large modulation depth is verified through the fact that 10 times variation in the enhancement factor is observed in the experiment as the PMMA thickness varies from 7 to 23 μm.
