Photonic-band-gap resonator gyrotron.

We report the design and experimental demonstration of a gyrotron oscillator using a photonic-band-gap (PBG) structure to eliminate mode competition in a highly overmoded resonator. The PBG cavity supports a TE(041)-like mode at 140 GHz and is designed to have no competing modes over a minimum frequency range delta omega/omega of 30% about the design mode. Experimental operation of a PBG gyrotron at 68 kV and 5 A produced 25 kW of peak power in the design mode. No other modes were observed over the full predicted operating range about the design mode. PBG cavities show great promise for applications in vacuum electron devices in the millimeter- and submillimeter-wave bands.     

Analytic theory of a tapered gyrotron resonator

An analytic theory has been derived for determining the eigenfrequencies, RF-field distribution and Q of the TE_mpq modes of a gyrotron resonator consisting of a circular cylinder joined to a slowly tapered section. Explicit results are obtained for a linear taper. The cavity modes are found to have an RF-field distribution which is useful for prebunching the electron beam and enhancing efficiency. For high Q cavities, the cavity Q depends on axial mode number q as q^–2, which is important for mode discrimination. Proper selection of taper length is found to reduce the Q of high q modes, also aiding in mode discrimination. The present approach may be applied to other forms of weakly irregular cavities, such as cavities with nonlinear tapers.Work supported by U.S.D.O.E.

Laser resonator supporting a nondiffracting, azimuthally polarized mode

We analyze the lowest-order mode supported by a laser resonator containing an intra-cavity transmissive axicon using the Fox-Li iteration algorithm. Two configurations were considered. By proper choice of the cavity dimensions, the lowest-order mode is nondiffracting and azimuthally polarized. The mode pattern at the output coupler is a Bessel function of the first order.     

High-gain wide-band gyrotron traveling wave amplifier with a helically corrugated waveguide

First bandwidth measurements of a novel gyrotron amplifier are presented. The coupling between the second harmonic cyclotron mode of a gyrating electron beam and the radiation field occurred in the region of near infinite phase velocity over a broad bandwidth by using a cylindrical waveguide with a helical corrugation on its internal surface. With a beam energy of 185 keV, the amplifier achieved a maximum output power of 1.1 MW, saturated gain of 37 dB, linear gain of 47 dB, saturated bandwidth of 8.4 to 10.4 GHz ( 21% relative bandwidth), and an efficiency of 29%, in good agreement with theory.     

Coaxial resonator for a megawatt 280 GHz gyrotron

To provide the required mode selectivity for a megawatt 280 GHz gyrotron, a coaxial resonator operating in a high order TE mode is considered. Mode discrimination is achieved both by exploring the differences in the transverse structures of the competing modes and investigating a suitable geometry for the coaxial insert. For modes with close eigenfrequencies the associated diffractionQ factors can be widely different in value, thereby ensuring an effective mode selection. In the resonator studied here, the frequency separation between the design mode TE_26,10,1 and its nearest competing mode TE_20,12,1 is about 0.6% and the ratio of the correspondingQ factors is as high as 6.5. Unlike the coaxial resonator, in the hollow cavity without the inner conductor the fundamental spectrum of eigenfrequencies is more dense, and all TE modes within the frequency interval 271–288 GHz have approximately the sameQ factor.     

Mode competition in a high harmonic tunable gyrotron

The nature of the competition between a fundamental mode and a second harmonic mode depends on whether their azimuthal mode numbers are the same or different. If they are the same, the second harmonic may aid the excitation of the fundamental and eventually, at high beam currents, be suppressed by the fundamental, if the azimuthal mode numbers are different, the two modes may grow together.     

Active Q switching of a fiber laser with a microsphere resonator

We propose and demonstrate an active Q-switched fiber laser using a high-Q microsphere resonator as the Q-switching element. The laser cavity consists of an Er-doped fiber as the gain medium, a glass microsphere reflector (coupled through a fiber taper) at one end of the cavity, and a fiber Bragg grating reflector at the other end. The reflectivity of the microsphere is modulated by changing the gap between the microsphere and the fiber taper. Active Q switching is realized by oscillating the microsphere in and out of contact with the taper. Using this novel technique, we have obtained giant pulses (maximum peak power approximately 102 W, duration approximately 160 ns) at a low pump-power threshold (approximately 3 mW).     

Coherent switching of semiconductor resonator solitons

We demonstrate the switching on and off of spatial solitons in a semiconductor microresonator by injection of light coherent with the background illumination. The results give evidence that the formation of the solitons and their switching are not limited by thermal processes.

Incoherent switching between multistable cavity solitons in a semiconductor optical resonator

We demonstrate numerically a two-dimensional threefold storage scheme based on different types of solitary waves in the transmitted field of a semiconductor planar resonator. Switching between among different solitary waves can be achieved by use of a weak incoherent switching beam.     

Mode competition and control in higher-power gyrotron oscillators

One of the most important problems in the design of high-power millimeter-wave sources such as gyrotron oscillators is insuring that the device operates in the desired mode. For high-power and short-wavelength devices the effective mode density is high, in that the current is above threshold for many modes. One then is led to ask whether operation in a single mode is possible and what steps must be taken to maximize the electronic efficiency of the device while ensuring single-mode operation. The answer to the first question has been determined to be yes. Provided that certain conditions are met, single-mode operation is stable. The present results emphasize time-dependent multimode simulations showing how these stable states can be accessed. In particular, the accessibility to the stable single mode with maximum efficiency is studied. Regions of parameter space for which stable single-mode operation is possible are plotted for an annular beam for a closed-cavity gyrotron operating at a high-order whispering-gallery mode (TE_80.4). These results also apply to the quasioptical gyrotron with a pencil electron beam

Chaotic soliton switching generation using a nonlinear micro ring resonator for secure packet switching use

We propose a new design of the secure packet switching device using the nonlinear behaviors of soliton in a micro ring resonator, where the nonlinear penalty of light traveling in the device becomes beneficial. The chaotic signals are generated by a Kerr effects nonlinear type of the input soliton pulse in a micro ring resonator, where the control input power can be used to specify the output filtering signals. Some device parameters are chosen and simulated using the proposed model. The potential of using such a device for communication security is performed and discussed. For instance, the packet switching of the chaotic encoding data increases from the chaotic signal encoding of 100 bits⁻¹. Results obtained have shown the potential of using such a proposed device for the tunable bandpass and band-stop filters, in which packet switching data can be performed and secured.

Mode selective properties of coaxial gyrotron resonators

In this paper, the mode-selective properties of coaxial gyrotron resonators are discussed for different cavity configurations. Expressions are derived for the ohmic loading of a coaxial conductor with longitudinal corrugations where the RF field inside the corrugations is fully taken into account, and for the diffractive quality factor in coaxial cavities with tapered inner conductor relative to that of an empty cylindrical cavity. The competing action of a kind of “surface mode” that appears in corrugated structures is investigated by considering its diffractive and ohmic quality factors. Additional mode competition problems that can arise in coaxial cavities with corrugated inner conductor due to second cyclotron harmonic interaction are investigated and solutions to the problem are proposed     

Quantum packet switching generation using correlated photons in a microring resonator system

We propose a new system of a packet of quantum bits generation using a soliton pulse within a microring resonator. A quantum gate can be formed by using a polarization control unit incorporating into the system. The random signal and idler pairs can be formed within the photon correlation bandwidth, which can be generated, and randomly form the packet quantum bits, i.e. quantum packet switching. Each random code (logic) can be performed by combining the signal and idler of each entangled photon pair via the quantum gate. Results obtained have shown that the packet of quantum logic bits can be generated using the entangled photon pairs generated by the proposed system.     

Enhanced all-optical switching by use of a nonlinear fiber ring resonator

We predict dramatically reduced switching thresholds for nonlinear optical devices incorporating fiber ring resonators. The circulating power in such a resonator is much larger than the incident power; also, the phase of the transmitted light varies rapidly with the single-pass phase shift. The combined action of these effects leads to a finesse-squared reduction in the switching threshold, allowing for photonic switching devices that operate at milliwatt power levels in ordinary optical fibers.     

圆形高斯镜平凹腔腔镜变形时激光模场分析

把圆形高斯镜平凹腔自再现模的衍射积分方程转化为有限阶的矩阵方程,在平面输出镜呈高斯分布的镜面变形时,数值计算了激光场模式的场强、相位分布和模式本征值。结果表明,当变形量较小时,随着变形量的增加,镜面上光场的分布范围增大,也就说明模体积增大,但镜面光场仍保持拉盖尔-高斯光束基模特征,相位由平面慢慢变得凸起,远场分布变化不明显。当变形量较大时,光场分布开始发生畸变。从模式本征值的变化看,在一定的变形范围内,本征值下降不多,说明较小的变形量对激光损耗影响不大,仍能使激光较稳定输出。在圆形高斯镜平凹腔输出镜发生不大的高斯状变形的情况下,仍有维持输出高质量激光束的能力。
