Fiber-based multiple access timing signal synchronization technique

A fiber-based,multiple access timing signal synchronization scheme is demonstrated.By coupling out the bidirectional transmission signals,a highly stable timing signal can be recovered at arbitrary points along the fiber with the help of the loop delay message broadcasted via ethernet from the local module.The experiment is carried out on a 30-km fiber placed in a temperature-controlled box.In one-day period,when the round trip fiber transfer delay fluctuation is60 ns,the fluctuations of the stabilized timing signal from the download and the remote modules were only ±125 ps and±100 ps,respectively.Also,the system error caused by transmission path asymmetry and thermal drift is calibrated,and a100-ps magnitude synchronization accuracy is realized.This method could provide new insights into the construction of a fiber-based time transfer network.     

Simultaneous remote transfer of accurate timing and optical frequency over a public fiber network

In this work, we demonstrate for the first time that it is possible to transfer simultaneously an ultra-stable optical frequency and precise and accurate timing over 540 km using a public telecommunication optical fiber network with Internet data. The optical phase is used to carry both the frequency information and the timestamps by modulating a very narrow optical carrier at 1.55 μm with spread spectrum signals using two-way satellite time transfer modems. The results in terms of absolute time accuracy (250 ps) and long-term timing stability (20 ps) well outperform the conventional Global Navigation Satellite System or geostationary transfer methods.

Small activation entropy bestows high-stability of nanoconfined D-mannitol

It has been a long-standing puzzling problem that some glasses exhibit higher glass transition temperatures(denoting high stability) but lower activation energy for relaxations(denoting low stability). In this paper, the relaxation kinetics of the nanoconfined D-mannitol(DM) glass was studied systematically using a high-precision and high-rate nanocalorimeter.The nanoconfined DM exhibits enhanced thermal stability compared to the free DM. For example, the critical cooling rate for glass formation decreases from 200 K/s to below 1 K/s; the Tg increases by about 20 K–50 K. The relaxation kinetics is analyzed based on the absolute reaction rate theory. It is found that, even though the activation energy E~*decreases,the activation entropy S~*decreases much more for the nanoconfined glass that yields a large activation free energy G~*and higher thermal stability. These results suggest that the activation entropy may provide new insights in understanding the abnormal kinetics of nanoconfined glassy systems.     

Experimental confirmation of high-stability of fluorescence in a femtosecond laser filament in air

Femtosecond laser filamentation is particularly interesting for remote sensing pollutant in the atmosphere. In this work, we investigate the local shot-to-shot stability of the filament induced fluorescence of nitrogen in air. It is found that the root-mean square fluctuation of the fluorescence signal is at least one order of magnitude lower than that of the linear propagation case. In practice, it would contribute to improve the robustness of long distance spectroscopic analysis of the fluorescence of pollutant molecules inside the filament. We further point out that this unique property of filament induced fluorescence spectroscopy is because of the intensity clamping, a profound phenomenon of filamentation.     

Stable RF transfer over a fiber-optic ring with DSBCS modulation and a DSB RF signal

We propose a radio frequency(RF)transfer technique with passive phase noise compensation over a fiber-optic ring.By adopting different frequencies and same wavelength transmission and double sideband(DSB)with carrier suppression(DSBCS)modulation,the impact of backscattering can be effectively suppressed.A stable RF signal can be obtained via frequency mixing at an arbitrary access site along the fiber-optic ring.As the two directional transmissions adopt the same fiber and same wavelength from the same laser,the bidirectional propagation symmetry can be maximally guaranteed.We experimentally demonstrate 2 GHz RF signal transfer along a 100 km standard single-mode fiber-optic ring.

Experimental study of a continuous-wave high-stability second-harmonic gyrotron for spectroscopy of dynamically polarized nuclei

We present the results of the experiments on a continuous-wave gyrotron with an output frequency of about 260 GHz, which has been developed for dynamic polarization of nuclei and is operated at the second cyclotron-frequency harmonic. For an accelerating voltage of 16 kV and a beam current of 0.3 A, a maximum continuous-wave radiation power of about 200 W has been obtained. Measurements of the thermal load on the resonator cavity allow evaluating its actual ohmic Q-factor. Gyrotron radiation is also observed at other frequencies and modes. Their generation zones and the structure of the output radiation have been studied. Long-term stability of gyrotron parameters has been determined.     

Suppression of reverberation distortions of a receiver signal using the water tank transfer function

The paper considers a method for suppressing the reverberant distortions of an underwater sound receiver signal during receiver calibration in a laboratory water tank. The method is based on using the water tank transfer function, which is a complex frequency-dependent coefficient that establishes, for the point of signal reception, the relation between the sound pressures in the reverberant sound field of the water tank and in the free sound field. The procedure for experimentally obtaining the water tank transfer function is considered. Examples of suppressing reverberant distortions during noise and pulse sound reception are presented.

Spatial dependence of the dynamic optical transfer function of a transparent medium perturbed by an acoustic signal

Based on a spatially dependent (SD) dynamic optical transfer function (DOTF) of a medium perturbed by an acoustic signal, a dynamic theory has been developed of the acousto-optical interaction (AOI) of light beams in the field of an arbitrary acoustic signal under conditions of the diffraction distortion of its amplitude profile (DDAP). A system of integro-differential equations is derived for angular and frequency DOTF spectra of coupled waves in the AOI region. An analytical DOTF model has been constructed for a weak acousto-optical coupling. The characteristics of transient processes (TPs) in the diffracted-beam field have been investigated for the spatially dependent DOTF. It is demonstrated that in most practical situations this dependence is manifested rather strongly; however, it does not always affect the TP. Thus, when the light and acoustic beam apertures exceed some characteristic values d^* and L^*, related to the acoustic frequency and speed and the AOI geometry, the effect of the SD DOTF on the transient process can be neglected. Otherwise, the DDAP leads to the asymmetry of the dynamic dependences of the field amplitude of the off-axis angular-spectrum components of the diffracted beam. The parameters d^* and L^* have been calculated for the AOI of several types in lithium niobate and paratellurite crystals. The TP characteristics are illustrated by plots calculated for the DDAP in the case of the AOI in paratellurite. Tomsk State University of Control Systems and Electronics, Tomsk.

Specific features of the development of a high-stability continuous-wave gyrotron operated at the second harmonicwith a working frequency OF 258 GHz

We consider specific features of the development of a continuous-wave 258 GHz gyrotron operated at the second gyrofrequency harmonic, which are related to ensuring of high stability of its output parameters. The requirements to accuracy of manufacture of the cavity and adjustment of the electron beam are evaluated, as well as the necessary parameters of the power sources of the gyrotron complex, which should maintain the required level and stability of the generated power and frequency. The influence of the effect of spurious-mode reflection from the output window of the gyrotron is studied.     

Sensitivity enhancement by exchange mediated magnetization transfer of the xenon biosensor signal

Hyperpolarized xenon associated with ligand derivatized cryptophane-A cages has been developed as a NMR based biosensor. To optimize the detection sensitivity we describe use of xenon exchange between the caged and bulk dissolved xenon as an effective signal amplifier. This approach, somewhat analogous to 'remote detection' described recently, uses the chemical exchange to repeatedly transfer spectroscopic information from caged to bulk xenon, effectively integrating the caged signal. After an optimized integration period, the signal is read out by observation of the bulk magnetization. The spectrum of the caged xenon is reconstructed through use of a variable evolution period before transfer and Fourier analysis of the bulk signal as a function of the evolution time.     

Complete single-photon counting and timing module in a microchip

A complete module for single-photon counting and timing is demonstrated in a single chip. Features comparable with or better than commercially available macroscopic modules are obtained by integration of an active-quenching and active-reset circuit in complementary metal-oxide semiconductor technology together with a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD). The integrated SPAD has a 12-microm-diameter sensitive area and operates with an overvoltage above breakdown adjustable up to 20 V. With a 5-V overvoltage the photon detection efficiency peaks above 40% around 500 nm, and the dark-counting rate is lower than 600 counts/s at room temperature. The overall counting dead time is 33 ns.
