Comparison of effects of relative carry-envelope phase on two-color few cycle pulses propagating in dense and dilute lambda-type mediums

In this paper we compared effects of relative carry-envelope phase (RCEP) of two-color few cycle pulses on propagation behavior and spectral property under the single-photon resonant condition in the dense and dilute lambda-type three-level atomic mediums. It is found that, in the dense medium, with propagation distance increasing, the compound pulse of the two-color few cycle pulses will split into two or three sub-pulses with different amplitudes and shapes, or does not split, and this is completely determined by value size of RCEP; with value of RCEP decreasing, range and strength of the spectrum (particularly the higher spectral components) increase obviously, the highest frequency is about eight times of the resonance frequency. In the corresponding dilute medium, effect of RCEP on propagating behavior and spectral property is much different from that in the dense medium; specially with value of RCEP decreasing, spectral strength increasing is evident but spectral range not, the highest frequency of the spectrum is only about two times of the resonance frequency.     

A theoretical investigation about sensing mechanism of fluoride anion for (E)‐2‐(2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl)‐6‐(4‐hydroxystyryl)‐1H‐benzo[de]‐isoquinoline‐1,3 (2H)‐dione

In the present work, we theoretical study the sensing mechanism of a new fluoride chemosensor (E)‐2‐(2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl)‐6‐(4‐hydroxystyryl)‐1H‐benzo[de]‐isoquinoline‐1,3(2H)‐dione (the abbreviation is NIM ). Based on density functional theory and time‐dependent density functional theory methods, the fluoride anion response mechanism has been confirmed via constructing potential energy curve. The exothermal deprotonation process along with the intermolecular hydrogen bond O–H···F reveals the uniqueness of detecting F^?. After capturing hydrogen proton forming NIM‐A anion configuration, a new absorption peak around 655 nm appears in dimethyl sulfoxide solvent. In addition, the emission of NIM can be quenched when adding F^? has been also confirmed. Due to the twisted intramolecular charge transfer character NIM‐A‐S ₁ form, we further verify the experimental phenomenon. The theoretical electronic spectra (vertical excitation energies and fluorescence peak) reproduced previous experimental results (ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces 2014, 6, 7996), which not only reveals the rationality of our theoretical level used in this work but also confirms the correctness of geometrical attribution. In view of the excitation process, the strong intramolecular charge transfer process of S₀ → S₁ transition explain the redshift of absorption peak for NIM with the addition of fluoride anion. This work presents a straightforward sensing mechanism (deprotonation process) of fluoride anion for the novel NIM chemosensor.     

Simultaneous clock recovery and demultiplexing of a 320 Gb/s OTDM system using an optoelectronic oscillator based on cascaded MZM and PolM

An improved optoelectronic oscillator scheme for an optical time division multiplexing(OTDM) system based on cascaded Mach-Zehnder modulator(MZM) and polarization modulator(PolM) is experimentally investigated.The system can simultaneously realize clock recovery and demultiplexing.With the MZM working at peak point to generate return-to-zero-33 optical pulses and the PolM working as an equivalent intensity modulator,a high-quality clock signal with 35-fs timing jitter is extracted from the 160-GBaud OTDM-differential quaternary phase-shift keying signal.Narrow short optical switch gates(4 ps) are also generated to demultiplex 160-GBaud signals to 40-GBaud signals.Error-free performance is achieved with 2.4-dB power penalty in the worst case.     

Realization of an efficient coherent combination via Michelson cavity

An intracavity coherent coupling Michelson erbium-doped fibre (EDF) laser (MCEDFL) is proposed and demonstrated. By using this laser system, we find a means to obtain a maximum power output at the same pumping power level. From the experiment based on fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs) with different reflectivities from 6{\%} to 100{\%}, we find that the reflectivity of the FBG plays a vital role in improving the performance of the MCEDFL. At the same time, the MCEDFL with a polarizer can be coherently combined effectively. This type of system, in principle, is compatible with other more powerful pumping methods, such as cladding pumping, and brings some novel perspectives to the realization of high power lasers.     

Pressure effect on the electron mobility in AlAs/GaAs quantum wells

By taking the influence of optical phonon modes into account, this paper adopts the dielectric continuum phonon model and force balance equation to investigate the electronic mobility parallel to the interfaces for AlAs/GaAs semiconductor quantum wells (QWs) under hydrostatic pressure. The scattering from confined phonon modes, interface phonon modes and half-space phonon modes are analysed and the dominant scattering mechanisms in wide and narrow QWs are presented. The temperature dependence of the electronic mobility is also studied in the temperature range of optical phonon scattering being available. It is shown that the electronic mobility reduces obviously as pressure increases from 0 to 4GPa, the confined longitudinal optical (LO) phonon modes play an important role in wide QWs, whereas the interface optical phonon modes are dominant in narrow QWs, the half-space LO phonon modes hardly influence the electronic mobility expect for very narrow QWs.     

Features of the total disintegration events of heavyemulsion targets caused by 4.5A GeV/c16O

Total disintegration events produced by 4.5\,A GeV/c $^{16}$O--AgBr interactions are analysed to investigate the characteristics of secondary charged particles produced in such collisions. The multiplicity distributions of grey, black, and relativistic charged particles can be well represented by Gaussian distribution. The average multiplicity of grey particles is found to increase with the mass of projectile increasing, while that of black particles is found to decrease with the mass of projectile increasing. This result is in good agreement with the prediction of fireball model. Finally, the linear dependence between grey and black particles is observed, but there is no distinct dependence between the production of relativistic charged particles and the target excitation.

Femtosecond laser ablation of Au film around single pulse threshold

Ablation process of 1-kHz femtosecond lasers (pulse duration of 148 fs, wavelength of 775 nm) of Au film on silica substrates is studied. The thresholds for single and multi pulses can be obtained directly from the relation between the squared diameter D2 of the ablated craters and the laser fluence φo. From the plot of the accumulated laser fluence Nφth(N) and the number of laser pulses N, incubation coefficient of Au film is obtained to be 0.765. Some experimental data obtained around the single pulse threshold are in good agreement with the theoretical calculation.     

A new endocytic model based on the co-rotational grid method

Endocytosis plays important roles in many cellular physiological processes, such as metabolism and immune. Many theoretical models have been proposed to study the endocytic process, but little has considered the tensile deformation of the membrane and the actin forces. In this paper, a new endocytic model is proposed based on the co-rotational grid method. Our model gives a direct estimation of the in-plane strain of the plasma membrane and provides a basis for the calculation of further scission process of the vesicle. The results fit well with experimental data in the literature. Moreover, it is suggested that the active forces of actin at the endocytic site is the main mechanism driving the invagination of the plasma membrane.     

Pyrolysis study of poplar biomass by tunable synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet photoionization mass spectrometry

Pyrolysis is one of the most important methods to convert biomass into biofuel, which is a potential substitute for fossil fuel. The pyrolysis process of poplar biomass, a potential biofuel feedstock, has been studied with tunable synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet (SVUV) photoionization mass spectrometry (PIMS). The mass spectra at different photon energies, temperatures, and time-evolved profiles of selected species during poplar pyrolysis process were measured. Our results reveal that poplar is typical of hardwood according to its relative contents of three lignin monomeric precursors. As temperature increases from 300 to 700 °C, the overall intensities of pyrolysis products decrease due to the gas-phase cracking. Observed intensities of syringyl and guaiacyl subunits of lignin in poplar at low temperature present different trends: the intensities of syringyl subunits of lignin undergo an increase firstly and then a decrease, whereas those of guaiacyl subunits of lignin show decrease continuously. Time-dependent data demonstrate that hemicellulose pyrolysis is faster than lignin in poplar. This work reports a new application of SVUV PIMS in biomass pyrolysis, which performs very well in products analysis.
