Highly stable and efficient KTP-based intracavity optical parametric oscillator with a diode-pumped passively Q-switched laser

We present in this paper a highly stable and efficient KTP-based intracavity optical parametric oscillator with a diode-end-pumped Nd:YVO₄/Cr:YAG passively Q-switched laser. At the incident diode pump power of 4 W, the signal (1.57 μm) and idler (3.29 μm) average output powers up to 580 and 100 mW, respectively, have been achieved. The corresponding conversion efficiency from the input diode pump power to the output signal power is 14.5%, while that to the total OPO output (signal+idler) reaches 17%. To the best of our knowledge, these are the highest conversion efficiencies reported to date. After more than four hours of investigation, the OPO power stability better than 2% has been obtained. In addition, efficient cavity dumping of the IOPO has inevitably led to the short pulse duration (1.6 ns) and high peak power output (8.3 kW) at the signal wave. Additionally, the amplitude and repetition rate fluctuations of the signal pulses are well within 5%. PACS 42.55.Xi; 42.60.Gd; 42.60.Lh; 42.65.Yj     

A Surface Mounting Embedded Optical Transceiver with Bi-Directional Data Rate of Eight Channels × 10 Gbps

Abstract

The bi-directional data rate is investigated of an eight-channel × 10-Gbps optical transceiver with a size of 15 mm × 15 mm × 6 mm and ball grid array package form that was designed and fabricated. A passive optical coupling method is designed based on a coupling lens array, which is transformed to substrate through a carrier. This electrical performance is characterized through a 3D full wave simulation and shows great advantages compared with traditional pluggable optical transceivers. Experimental eye diagram measurement in loop-back mode via a 2-m-long multi-mode fiber array shows an eye width of 51.984 ps at a bit-error rate order of 10^?12, which proves the transceiver's ability for 10.3125-Gbps data transmission.

Gravitational Waves,baryon asymmetry of the universe and electric dipole moment in the CP-violating NMSSM

In this work, we make the first study of electroweak baryogenesis(EWBG) based on the LHC data in the CP-violating next-to-minimal supersymmetric model(NMSSM) where a strongly first order electroweak phase transition(EWPT) is obtained in the general complex Higgs potential. With representative benchmark points which pass the current LEP and LHC constraints, we demonstrate the structure of EWPT for those points and how a strongly first order EWPT is obtained in the complex NMSSM where the resulting gravitational wave production properties are found to be within the reaches of future space-based interferometers like BBO and Ultimate-DECIGO. We further calculate the generated baryon asymmetries where the CP violating sources are(1): higgsino-singlino dominated,(2): higgsino-gaugino dominated or(3): from both sources. It is shown that all three representing scenarios could evade the strong constraints set by various electric dipole moments(EDM) searches where cancellations among the EDM contributions occur at the tree level(higgsino-singlino dominated) or loop level(higgsino-gaugino dominated).The 125 GeV SM like Higgs can be either the second lightest neutral Higgs H_2 or the third lightest neutral Higgs H_3. Finally, we comment on the future direct and indirect probe of CPV in the Higgs sector from the collider and EDM experiments.     

Emission spectra simulation of calcium plasmas in non-local thermodynamic equilibrium

We use previous high-quality experimental spectra to test the accuracy of atomic data and the validity of the collisional－radiative (CR) model used in this paper. The synthetic spectrum with electron temperature log T_e(K)=6.745 and electron density n_e=6.0×10^{13}cm^{-3}, which almost reproduces the experimental spectra, is presented. Nearly all the features of the experimental spectra were identified. The results of the CR modelling for the emission spectra of calcium plasmas all agree well with the measured spectral line intensities within the experimental error for most of the lines. Furthermore, we make the electron temperature diagnostic through the synthetic spectrum and population fractions of every ionization state as a function of charge state at different electron temperatures, as well as the electron density diagnostic through the intensity ratios of two lines of Be-like calcium and three lines of C-like calcium. A good agreement between the calculated values and the measured ones is found.     

周期量级激光脉冲在不同密度的原子介质中传播行为的比较(英文)

利用不含慢变包络近似和旋波近似的全波Maxwell-Bloch方程组的数值解,研究了周期量级超短激光脉冲在Ladder型三能级原子介质中的传播行为并与在相应的稀疏介质中的情况进行了比较.我们发现,在传播过程中,超短脉冲在稠密介质中的时间演化规律与在稀疏介质中明显不同,而且这种差别将随初始脉冲面积的增大而加大.当初始脉冲面积较小时,在传播过程中,脉冲形状在稀疏介质中只有小的改变而在稠密介质中却有显著的变化.当初始脉冲面积足够大时,在稠密介质中在不同的传播距离处脉冲分裂为不同数量和形状的亚脉冲;在稀疏介质中脉冲形状在传播过程中仍然只有小的改变。产生以上差别的原因在于稠密原子介质中近偶极-偶极(NDD)相互作用导致的局域场修正(LFC)及比稀疏原子介质更强的极化电场的影响.其中,更强的极化电场的影响起着主要的作用,但局域场修正的作用也不能忽略,而极化电场的增强是由于原子密度的增加.

Research on Optical Transmitter and Receiver Module Used for High-Speed Interconnection between CPU and Memory

With the development of the multicore processor, the bandwidth and capacity of the memory, rather than the memory area, are the key factors in server performance. At present, however, the new architectures, such as fully buffered DIMM (FBDIMM), hybrid memory cube (HMC), and high bandwidth memory (HBM), cannot be commercially applied in the server. Therefore, a new architecture for the server is proposed. CPU and memory are separated onto different boards, and optical interconnection is used for the communication between them. Each optical module corresponds to each dual inline memory module (DIMM) with 64 channels. Compared to the previous technology, not only can the architecture realize high-capacity and wide-bandwidth memory, it also can reduce power consumption and cost, and be compatible with the existing dynamic random access memory (DRAM). In this article, the proposed module with system-in-package (SiP) integration is demonstrated. In the optical module, the silicon photonic chip is included, which is a promising technology to be applied in the next-generation data exchanging centers. And due to the bandwidth–distance performance of the optical interconnection, SerDes chips are introduced to convert the 64-bit data at 800 Mbps from/to 4-channel data at 12.8 Gbps after/before they are transmitted though optical fiber. All the devices are packaged on cheap organic substrates. To ensure the performance of the whole system, several optimization efforts have been performed on the two modules. High-speed interconnection traces have been designed and simulated with electromagnetic simulation software. Steady-state thermal characteristics of the transceiver module have been evaluated by ANSYS APLD based on finite-element methodology (FEM). Heat sinks are placed at the hotspot area to ensure the reliability of all working chips. Finally, this transceiver system based on silicon photonics is measured, and the eye diagrams of data and clock signals are verified.     

Application of 3-D Fluorescence: Characterization of Natural Organic Matter in Natural Water and Water Purification Systems

Natural organic matter (NOM) found in water sources is broadly defined as a mixture of polyfunctional organic molecules, characterized by its complex structure and paramount influence on water quality. Because the inevitable release of pollutants into aquatic environments due to an ineffective control of industrial and agricultural pollution, the evaluation of the interaction of NOM with heavy metals, nanoparticles, organic pollutants and other pollutants in the aquatic environment, has greatly increased. Three-dimensional (3-D) fluorescence has the potential to reveal the interaction mechanisms between NOM and pollutants as well as the source of NOM pollution. In water purification engineering system, the 3-D fluorescence can indicate the variations of NOM composition and gives an effective prediction of water quality as well as the underline water purification mechanisms. Inadequately treated NOM is a cause of precursors of disinfection byproducts (DBPs), posing a potential threat to human health. Effective control and measurement/evaluation of NOM have long been an important factors in the prevention of water pollution. Overall, 3-D fluorescence allows for a rapid identification of organic components thus indicating possible sources of water pollution, mechanisms of pollutant interactions, and possible DBPs formed during conventional treatment of this water. This article reviews the 3-D fluorescence characteristics of NOM in natural water and typical water purification systems. The 3-D fluorescence was effective for indicating the variabilities in NOM composition and chemistry thus providing a better understanding of NOM in natural water system and water engineering system.
