Dynamic control of retrieval contrast in a ∧-type atomic system

We propose an efficient scheme for optimizing the optical memory of a sequence of signal light pulses in a system of ultracold atoms in ∧ configuration.The memory procedure consists of write-in,storage,and retrieval phases.By applying a weak microwave field in the storage stage,additional phase-dependent terms are included,and the contrast of the output signal pulses can be dynamically controlled（enhanced or suppressed） through manipulating the relative phase φ between optical and microwave fields.Our numerical analysis shows that the contrast is enhanced to the most extent when φ = 1.5π.In addition,the contrast is in proportion to the Rabi frequency of the microwave field with a certain relative phase.     

自发产生相干对Y型四能级原子系统探测吸收的影响

在与三个场相互作用的Y型四能级原子系统中,利用密度矩阵方程计算了介质对探测场的吸收,分析了自发产生相干对探测吸收的影响.结果发现:随着自发产生相干的影响,在共振中心处,探测吸收表现出不同的现象.当自发产生相干对探测吸收产生相消干涉时,随着自发产生相干的增强,在共振中心处削弱吸收,出现增益.当自发产生相干对探测吸收产生相长干涉时,随着自发产生相干的增强,在共振中心处出现吸收增强,也即出现电磁诱导吸收(electromagnetically induced absorption,简称EIA),在共振两侧的双电磁感应透明强度(electromagnetically induced transparency,简称EIT)增强,窗口变宽.同时,在能级| 3〉→| 2〉与| 4〉→| 2〉的自发衰减速率比值不变下,当能级|3〉→|2〉与|4〉→|2〉的自发衰减速率减小时,在共振中心处,吸收线宽变窄,共振两侧的透明窗口变宽.     

The transportable cesium fountain clock NIM5: its construction and performance

The second laser cooling cesium fountain clock NIM5 at the National Institute of Metrology (NIM) China adopts the (1,1,1) direct optical molasses ( OM) configuration. NIM5 has been running with a stability of 3×10⁻¹⁵/d and an operation ratio of 99% since 2007. Preliminary evaluations of NIM5 in 2008 showed a typical combined uncertainty of 3×10⁻¹⁵. The NIM5 clock is operating in parallel with NIM’s first fountain clock NIM4. NIM4 and NIM5 are used to steer the frequency of the calculated NIM atomic time TA-c(NIM) and the first set of results are promising. We are now at the stage of comparing the frequency of NIM5 with UTC to support the independent frequency shift evaluations of NIM5 and contribute to the international atomic time in the near future.

A tunable infrared plasmonic polarization filter with asymmetrical cross resonator

A tunable infrared plasmonic polarization filter is proposed and investigated in this paper. The filter is based on the sandwich absorption structure which consists of three layers. The top layer is an array of asymmetrical cross resonator.The middle and bottom layers are dielectric spacer and metal film respectively. By absorbing specific wavelength of the incident light perfectly, the reflection spectrum of the structure shows filter performance. The calculated results show that the absorption wavelength is strongly dependent on the length of branch of the asymmetrical cross resonator which is parallel to the light polarization and independent of the length of the vertical one. Therefore, the asymmetrical cross resonator filter structure opens the way for freely tuning the filtering wavelength for a different light polarization. We can fix a resonant wavelength(absorption wavelength) corresponding to one polarization and change the resonant wavelength for the other polarization by adjusting the corresponding branch length of the asymmetrical cross resonator, or change the two resonant wavelengths of both two polarizations at the same time.

In this paper, we report that a diode-pumped thulium-doped double clad silica fiber laser can provide powers of up to 227 W at 1908 nm, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 54.3%, and an optical-to-optical efficiency of 51.2%. The output power, to the best of our knowledge, is the highest output at 1908 nm. The beam quality M2 factor is about 1.56. Also discussed in this paper is the dependence of the laser performance on fiber length.     

大气湍流中超短高斯激光脉冲的时间域展宽模型研究

穿过大气湍流的高斯激光脉冲在时间域的展宽行为与高斯脉冲通过理想高斯滤波器后的时域展宽行为相似。因此,为了激光通信信道仿真的需要,提出用级联巴特沃斯滤波器来逼近理想高斯滤波器的方法对这种时间域上的展宽行为进行建模。逼近后的高斯滤波器的3dB频率点与大气湍流的物理参数(包括折射率结构常数和湍流外尺度)和传播几何路径长度联系在一起,从而将高斯脉冲的展宽与所通过的大气湍流环境参数相结合并得到了模拟高斯脉冲展宽的解析表达式。该模型和由模型参数表示的高斯脉冲展宽的解析表达式不仅在湍流弱起伏区有效,而且在从弱起伏到中等起伏再到强起伏的整个区域中都有效。

Polarized spin transport in mesoscopic quantum rings with electron--phonon and Rashba spin--orbit coupling

The influence of electron--phonon (EP) scattering on spin polarization of current output from a mesoscopic ring with Rashba spin--orbit (SO) interaction is numerically investigated. There are three leads connecting to the ring at different positions; unpolarized current is injected to one of them, and the other two are output channels with different bias voltages. The spin polarization of current in the outgoing leads shows oscillations as a function of EP coupling strength owing to the quantum interference of EP states in the ring region. As temperature increases, the oscillations are evidently suppressed, implying decoherence of the EP states. The simulation shows that the magnitude of polarized current is sensitive to the location of the lead. The polarized current depends on the connecting position of the lead in a complicated way due to the spin-sensitive quantum interference effects caused by different phases accumulated by transmitting electrons with opposite spin states along different paths.
