Improvement of performance characteristics of deep violet InGaN DQW lasers using a strip DQW active region

The effect of the laser ridge width on the performance characteristics of deep violet In_0.082Ga_0.918N/GaN double quantum well (DQW) laser diodes (LDs) has been numerically investigated. Simulation results indicated that threshold current of LDs is decreased and slope efficiency and differential quantum efficiency (DQE) are increased by decreasing ridge width, whereas output power is decreased. The results also showed that a decrease of more than 1 μm in the ridge width reduces the threshold current, whereas the slope efficiency, output power, and DQE are decreased. A new DQW LD structure with a strip active region has been proposed to obtain a lower current threshold and higher output power, slope efficiency, and DQE. The results showed the InGaN DQW LD with a strip DQW active region has the highest output power, slope efficiency, and DQE; it also has a lower threshold current compared with that of the original LD. The comparative study conducted for the LDs with output emission wavelengths of 390, 414 and 436 nm has also confirmed the enhancement in LD performance using the strip DQW active region structure.     

Diode Pumped Rubidium Laser Based on Etalon Effects of Alkali Cell Windows

We demonstrate that the etalon effects of alkali cells can be used as the output coupler of an alkali laser. Based on a rubidium cell with highly parallelized windows, a 2.7 W rubidium laser with optical efficiency of 20.9% and slope efficiency of 31.8% is obtained by adopting unconventional output couplers. Since it has compact configuration and the inner surface of the rubidium cell is uncoated, this may be used in high power laser systems with long lifetimes.

Effective probability density function of rough surface slopes when strong shadowing is present

It is shown that at low grazing angles, the slope probability density function (PDF) of the nonshadowed part of a rough surface can differ significantly from the slope PDF of the overall surface, if surface heights and slopes are functionally dependent. If the surface steepness has a tendency to increase with height, the effective slopes of the illuminated part of the surface can be significantly steeper than the average slope of the surface as a whole. This fact can play a crucial role in any theoretical interpretation of experimental results concerning radar scattering by the sea surface at low grazing angles.     

A study of selected slope values in growth fronts of Au thin films

In this work, we compare the experimental slope values measured at the border of the surface protrusions that appear in growth fronts of evaporated Au films with the slope values predicted by the selected slope theories, showing a good agreement between them. For this purpose, a theoretical expression for the histogram of terrace widths at the borders of surface protrusions is developed for surfaces composed of paraboloidal-shaped elements whose shape parameters have a low statistical correlation and a high statistical dispersion between each other. The theoretical histogram was compared with those experimentally measured in Au(111) films grown on single-crystal and polycrystalline substrates. Experimental minimum values of terrace widths at the protrusion borders (that correspond to maximum slopes) obtained from the single-crystal-growth agree with those provided by the selected slope theory. An extension of the selected slope theory has been performed to interpret the additional maximum slope value observed in the polycrystalline films.     

Programmable agile beam steering based on a liquid crystal prism

To meet the application need for agile precision beam steering, a novel liquid crystal prism device with a simple structure, convenient control, low cost and applicable performance is presented, and analysed theoretically and experimentally. The relationships between the optical path and the thickness of the liquid crystal cell under different voltages are investigated quantitatively by using a theoretical model. Analysis results show that the optical path profile of the liquid crystal prism has a quasi-linear slope and the standard deviation of the linear slope is less than 16 nm. The slope ratio can be changed by a voltage, which achieves the programmable beam steering and control. Practical liquid crystal prism devices are fabricated. Their deflection angles and wavefront profiles with different voltages are experimentally tested. The results are in good agreement with the simulated results. The results imply that the agile beam steering in a scope of 100 μrad with a micro-rad resolution is substantiated in the device. The two-dimensional beam steering is also achieved by cascading two liquid crystal prism devices.

Effective probability density function of rough surface slopes when strong shadowing is present

Abstract

It is shown that at low grazing angles, the slope probability density function (PDF) of the nonshadowed part of a rough surface can differ significantly from the slope PDF of the overall surface, if surface heights and slopes are functionally dependent. If the surface steepness has a tendency to increase with height, the effective slopes of the illuminated part of the surface can be significantly steeper than the average slope of the surface as a whole. This fact can play a crucial role in any theoretical interpretation of experimental results concerning radar scattering by the sea surface at low grazing angles.     

Influence of in-plane displacement and strain components on slope fringe distributions in double-aperture speckle wedge-shearing interferometry

The influence of in-plane displacement and strain components on slope (first-order derivative of out-of-plane displacement component) fringe distributions in double-aperture speckle wedge-shearing interferometry is discussed in detail. The research results show that only the in-plane displacement component parallel to the centre line of double apertures has an influence on the slope fringe distributions. It is also shown that the in-plane strain components have no influence on the slope fringe distributions when utilising normal illumination and an axisymmetric system. A theoretical analysis and an experimental demonstration are given. The experimental results are in good agreement with the quantitative analysis.

A new method of generating Ga slope in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 film by controlling Se content in a multi-stacked precursor

An appropriate Ga slope is required in Cu(In,Ga)Se₂ (CIGS) film to enhance the cell performance of CIGS thin-film solar cells. In the conventional three-stage-co-evaporation process, the Ga slope was obtained by controlling Ga/In flux during deposition process. However, in two-step process, where a precursor was deposited first and then annealed in a Se environment for mass production, the desirable Ga slope was not achievable with the Ga/In flux control. We observed that the Ga/(Ga + In) ratio was nearly flat in CIGS film for Se-rich precursor and the ratio was nearly zero at surface and very high on bottom side of CISG film for Se-deficient precursor. We were able to generate a CIGS film with a Ga non-zero Ga surface and desired slope in the bulk by devising a precursor with Se-rich layer on top and Se-deficient layer on bottom, resulting in the enhancement of Cell performance.     

A new approach to stability analysis of neural networks with time-varying delay via novel Lyapunov--Krasovskii functional

In this paper,new delay-dependent stability criteria for asymptotic stability of neural networks with time-varying delays are derived.The stability conditions are represented in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs) by constructing new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional.The proposed functional has an augmented quadratic form with states as well as the nonlinear function to consider the sector and the slope constraints.The less conservativeness of the proposed stability criteria can be guaranteed by using convex properties of the nonlinear function which satisfies the sector and slope bound.Numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Simulating regular wave propagation over a submerged bar by boundary element method model and Boussinesq equation model

Numerical models based on the boundary element method and Boussinesq equation are used to simulate the wave transform over a submerged bar for regular waves.In the boundary-element-method model the linear element is used,and the integrals are computed by analytical formulas.The Boussinesq-equation model is the well-known FUNWAVE from the University of Delaware.We compare the numerical free surface displacements with the laboratory data on both gentle slope and steep slope,and find that both the models simulate the wave transform well.We further compute the agreement indexes between the numerical result and laboratory data,and the results support that the boundary-element-method model has a stable good performance,which is due to the fact that its governing equation has no restriction on nonlinearity and dispersion as compared with Boussinesq equation.     

Validity of rough surface backscattering models

A study of the regions of validity for rough surface scattering models is conducted for surfaces with Gaussian and power law power spectra. Models included in the study are physical optics (PO), geometrical optics, small perturbation method and small slope approximation. The range of validity of the PO model is commonly described by a bound on the radius curvature of the surface relative to the electromagnetic wavelength. We show empirically that for backscattering the region of accuracy is more accurately described by a bound on surface slope. For surfaces with a Gaussian power spectrum, the PO model is accurate to within 2 dB for RMS surface slope values less than 0.59 cos³θ. For surfaces with a power law power spectral density, the PO model is accurate for significant slope values (RMS surface height/wavelength of the dominant spectral peak) less than 0.037 cos³θ. These conditions are valid up to approximately 30°. The regions of validity of other models in the study are also shown to be well approximated by bounds on surface slope.

利用直接波前斜率法和变形镜的电压一面形响应特性，研究了常规自适应光学系统和共光路／共模块(CP／CM)自适应光学系统中哈特曼波前传感器与变形镜的对准误差。常规自适应光学系统中，可以用重新测量变形镜的影响函数以减小对准误差的影响，虽并不能消除其影响，但系统都会有很大的调整容差；共光路／共模块自适应光学系统中采用不同的双哈特曼数据处理方法，哈特曼波前传感器与变形镜的对准精度对系统校正能力影响是不同的，采用加修正因子斜率融合法和电压融合法由于在数据融合时考虑了两台哈特曼传感器与变形镜对准的差异，所以对准误差的影响与在常规自适应光学中相同，系统都会有很大的调整容差，而采用直接斜率融合法的共光路／共模块系统由于是建立在两台哈特曼传感器完全一致的假设基础上，所以对对准精度的要求是很高的。分析过程中给出了相应的数值计算结果。

The depolarization of light scattered from rough metal surfaces

To describe the depolarization of the electromagnetic field scattered from rough metal surfaces, a finite, non-vanishing value of the conductivity has to be considered. To reveal the modifications imposed by a complex dielectric constant, the Beckmann formula is expanded in power series of slope terms. We then arrive at an analytic expression which is convenient for evaluation as a function of the parameters involved. With this expression, plots of the cross-polarization ratio vs. angle of incidence and vs. slope are presented.     

Tunable chromatic dispersion and dispersion slope compensator using a planar lightwave circuit lattice-form filter

A tunable chromatic dispersion and dispersion slope compensator is proposed that has a single lattice-form filter configuration. Wavelength dependence is intentionally added to its tunable couplers, which produces dispersion slope compensation in addition to the dispersion compensation. Dispersion tunability of +/- 500 ps/nm and a slope of -4.9 ps/nm(2) over 40 GHz are successfully demonstrated, thus meeting the requirement for 40 Gbits/s differential quadrature phase shift keying transmission with an 80 km long nonzero dispersion-shifted fiber.
