弱磁场中向列相液晶的磁光效应

当外磁场强度比较小时,液晶不会发生Freedericksz转变.利用介电张量分析了扭曲型向列液晶在弱磁场中的旋光效应.通过理论分析表明,线性偏振光经过磁场中的扭曲型向列液晶,会产生左右两束椭圆偏振光.这两束椭圆偏振光在该液晶中的传播速度不同,导致光经过液晶盒后光电场振动面发生偏转.进一步分析表明,对于同一种波长的光,磁场强度越大,其电场振动面旋转角度越大.在相同的磁场强度下,光波长越短,其电场振动面旋转角度越大.如果加上高的偏置电压,使向列型液晶分子长轴方向与外磁场方向平行,线性偏振光经过磁场中的该扭曲型向列液晶,其振动面会也发生偏转.

Effect of photoconductivity and oscillation frequency shift on the signal beam intensity in two beam coupling in photorefractive materials

A general theory of the two-beam coupling between a pump beam and a signal beam in photorefractive materials is presented. The coupled wave equations describing the non-linear two beam coupling are derived, based on Maxwell's wave equation. The coupled equation for the intensities of the two beams in the photorefractive crystals with the absorbing properties have been derived analytically. The intensity of the signal beam increases with the increasing crystal thickness, reaches a maximum and then decreases. The influence of energy beam coupling coefficient, oscillation frequency shift, crystal thickness, absorption coefficient and the input beam intensity ratio on the signal beam intensity have been studied in details. The effect of the photoconductivity of the materials on the intensities of the two beams in both the co-directional as well as contra-directional two beam coupling cases have been studied.     

Study of X-ray diffraction processes in ADP crystals under the influence of temperature gradient

The influence of temperature gradient on the intensity of X-ray beam reflected from atomic planes of antiferroelectric crystal of ammonium dihydro-phosphate (ADP) was studied. It was found that under the influence of temperature gradient on ADP crystal, the intensity of diffracted X-ray beam initially decreases at small values of gradient and then monotonously increases with increasing gradient. It is assumed that in the initial period of the action of temperature gradient the crystal domains have no time to orient in the same direction, and the intensity of beam decreases owing to the scattering of X-rays in different directions when reflected from the walls of boundaries of domains. After the alignment of domains, their arrangement in the same direction, separate areas of unidirectional domains are formed under the action of temperature gradient and the intensity of diffracted X-ray beam increases, as confirm the experimental data. The specified mechanism is supposed to occur also in other crystals having the domain structure.

Super-reltron theory and experiments

A highly efficient, high-power microwave tube called super-reltron is reported. The authors have achieved operation at >400 MW with ~50% efficiency at 1 GHz, and 250 MW with 40% efficiency at 3 GHz. The RF pulse durations are typically a few hundred nanoseconds. These compact lightweight tubes do not require an external magnetic field. The RF output coupling is straightforward and delivers the power directly via the fundamental TE₁₀ wave in a rectangular waveguide without a mode converter. The key features of the tube include (i) generation of a well-modulated electron beam by periodic virtual cathode formation, (ii) postacceleration of the modulated beam to reduce the relative electron energy spread, and (iii) a multicavity output section that efficiently extracts power without RF breakdown. Various theoretical aspects of the device are discussed and the experimental results are summarized     

The temperature properties of matching Gaussian beam in biased two-photon centrosymmetric paraelectric photorefractive crystals

The effects of temperature on the intensity profiles and self-deflection of matching Gaussian beam in biased two-photon centrosymmetric paraelectric photorefractive crystals are investigated by numerical simulation. The results show that the matching Gaussian beam can involve into a stable solitary wave after some propagation distance. The peak intensity decreases and the width of the matching Gaussian beam increases as temperature rises. The absolute value of the bending distance decreases monotonically with increasing of temperature. The crystal proposed here is potassium lithium tantalite niobate (KTN).     

Hard X-ray diffraction in quartz single crystals in the presence of temperature gradient

The diffraction of hard X-rays in quartz single crystals is considered in the Laue geometry in the presence of temperature gradient. Spectral and angular characteristics of the reflected beam were experimentally studied versus the magnitude of temperature gradient. It is shown that as the temperature gradient applied perpendicular to reflecting (10ī1) atomic planes of quartz single crystal increases, the focus of reflected beam approaches the crystal, the angular and spectral widths increase, and intensity increases by orders of magnitude.     

New nonlinear optical processes in liquid crystals

We have worked out some consequences of the optical nonlinearities due to laser induced changes in the order parameter of a liquid crystal. The change in the order parameter can be affected by laser induced suppression of the director fluctuations in liquid crystals and or changes in the tilt angle of smectic liquid crystals. Both the processes lead to well known nonlinear optical effects like self-focusing, self-divergence, self-phase modulation, wave mixing, and so on. In addition, we predict some new phenomena like self-iridescence and new types of optical spatial solitons. In the case of chiral liquid crystals in the short wavelength limit the laser beam induces a change in the twist and at the long wavelength edge of the Bragg band it leads to temporal oscillations in the twist and the transmitted intensity. In smectic liquid crystals interesting periodic structures in a standing laser wave are to be expected.
