Effect of plastic strain energy density on polymer optical fiber power losses

We explore the dependence of power losses on average plastic energy densities as rays propagate along deformed polymer optical fibers (POFs). The variation of power losses in deformed POFs with different bend radii and elongations are measured and analyzed. Three-dimensional elastic-plastic finite-element models are used to calculate average plastic energy densities in deformed POFs. The results indicate that the average plastic energy density introduced in a deformed POF can be considered a key index with which to study the power loss. Based on the experimental results, a curve-fitted equation is proposed for estimating the power loss by using the average plastic energy density for various bend radii.     

Crystalline defect investigation based on electrons with characteristic energy losses

The features inherent to crystal point defect imaging based on electrons with characteristic energy losses are discussed. Variations in the contrast of a Si impurity atom as a function of its depth and the sample thickness, earlier obtained via numerical simulation, are analyzed by analytically solving the issue of multiwave dynamical diffraction along the Ge 〈100〉 direction at E = 300 keV.     

Investigation of the characteristic energy losses of platinum (111)

With the help of a combined LEED- and Auger-investigation, the surface of a platinum (111) crystal was cleaned first. Then, the spectrum of the characteristic energy losses for both contaminated and cleaned surfaces is studied. On the cleaned surface the following losses were found: ΔE ₁=7.4 eV, ΔE ₂=13.5 eV, ΔE ₃=24.8 eV, ΔE ₄=31.8 eV, ΔE ₅=45.1 eV, ΔE ₆=54.1 eV, ΔE ₇=71.2 eV. The present results are compared with the measurement of other investigators. In particular, in good agreement with optical measurements we identify ΔE ₁ and ΔE ₂ as interband transitions, and ΔE ₃ and ΔE ₄ as surface and volume plasma loss, respectively.     

High-performance optical modulators bias control system without dither

A software-based bias control system of push–pull Mach–Zehnder modulators (MZMs) without dither tone is described in this paper. The slope of the average optical output power respect to the bias voltage is used to control the operating bias points in the automatic control system. The paper analyses the theory of automatic bias control intensively and verifies the effectiveness of the proposed technique which is a modulation-format-free method under the RF signal through testing and contrasting the BER (bit error rate) between the new technique and manual measure on the experimental platform. Based on this, an automatic bias control system set up by an optical QPSK composed by double MZMS on the LabVIEW platform is described.     

Design of an electromagnetic system for wide-band optical modulators

The parameters of a slot-type electromagnetic system that can be used in ultrahigh-frequency wide-band optical modulators are studied. Analytical expressions for the bandwidth of the device are obtained, and this parameter in prototypes is estimated. Experiments on optical radiation modulation by microwave signals show that these electromagnetic systems are promising for volume optical modulators.     

Investigation on the output energy characteristic of optical limiting based on stimulated Brillouin scattering

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) featuring sub-nanosecond response time takes place at a high power threshold, which enables its application at a high power density. When the intensity of input light excesses the SBS threshold, strong SBS process takes place through SBS medium, leading to a quick energy transfer from pump to the Stokes and thereby an optical limiting characteristic in the output energy. In this paper, the correlation between SBS output energy and input power density is numerically simulated and validated in the Nd: YAG Q-switch laser system. The results indicate that not only the output energy exhibits an optical limiting characteristic, but also the clamped value of output energy can be controlled by changing the medium or the focal length.     

Upper bound imposed on responsivity of optical modulators

I study theoretically the responsivity of optical modulators. For the case of a linear response, by using perturbation theory I find an upper bound imposed on the responsivity. For the case of a two-mode modulator I find a lower bound imposed on the optical path required for achieving full modulation when the maximum birefringence strength is given.

The role of electrodynamic interactions on energy loss intensities of adsorbed molecules

The effect on energy loss intensities of the electrodynamic interactions with the substrate and neighboring adsorbed molecules is discussed. The experimentally observed large variations in the loss intensity from molecules adsorbed on various sites are considered. A simple dipole model of the molecule interacting with its image in the substrate and its neighbors on equivalent and inequivalent sites is used. Good agreement with experiment for a well characterized surface coverage of bridge and on-top bonded CO molecules on Ni(111) is found.

Effect of diffraction on the electrodynamic characteristics of two-dimensional coaxial Bragg resonators

The electrodynamic properties of coaxial two-dimensional Bragg resonators with two-dimensional distributed feedback are analyzed. These resonators are made of coaxial waveguide sections with doubly periodic corrugation, which provides coupling and mutual scattering of four partial waves. Two of them propagate along the waveguide, while the other two propagate in the transverse (azimuthal) direction. It is shown that the high azimuthal index selectivity of two-dimensional Bragg resonators may be related to a qualitative difference in topology of the dispersion characteristics of azimuth-symmetric and asymmetric normal waves propagating in infinite waveguides of such a geometry. For the finite-length systems used as two-dimensional Bragg resonators, the eigenmode spectrum is found for two types of boundary conditions that correspond to the limiting cases of perfectly matched (open) systems and, conversely, of systems closed for the extraction of transverse electromagnetic fluxes. Perimeter-to-length ratios of the resonator at which the Q factor of the fundamental azimuth-symmetric mode is greater than those of the other modes are determined. The applicability domain of the geometrical approach, which was earlier applied to two-dimensional Bragg resonators, is discussed.
