LINEAR AND NONLINEAR SEMICLASSICAL THEORY OF WHISPERING-GALLERY-MODE MICROSPHERE LASER

A complete whispering-gallery-mode microsphere laser theory is developed, which combines usual laser semiclassical theory with Lorenz-Mie theory. The linear and nonlinear problems of the microsphere lasing are dealt with in the universal mode picture. The threshold condition, average amplitude of the steady state and frequency effect are obtained. A comparison between the theory and experiments is also made.     

A grid based particle method for solving partial differential equations on evolving surfaces and modeling high order geometrical motion

We develop numerical methods for solving partial differential equations (PDE) defined on an evolving interface represented by the grid based particle method (GBPM) recently proposed in [S. Leung, H.K. Zhao, A grid based particle method for moving interface problems, J. Comput. Phys. 228 (2009) 7706–7728]. In particular, we develop implicit time discretization methods for the advection–diffusion equation where the time step is restricted solely by the advection part of the equation. We also generalize the GBPM to solve high order geometrical flows including surface diffusion and Willmore-type flows. The resulting algorithm can be easily implemented since the method is based on meshless particles quasi-uniformly sampled on the interface. Furthermore, without any computational mesh or triangulation defined on the interface, we do not require remeshing or reparametrization in the case of highly distorted motion or when there are topological changes. As an interesting application, we study locally inextensible flows governed by energy minimization. We introduce tension force via a Lagrange multiplier determined by the solution to a Helmholtz equation defined on the evolving interface. Extensive numerical examples are also given to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach.     

Transport properties of Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3/Nb:SrTiO3 heterojunctions

Current–voltage (J–V) characteristics of epitaxial hetero-junctions composed of Pr_0.7Ca_0.3MnO₃ and Nb:SrTiO₃ were studied under forward and reversed bias conditions. Detailed analysis showed that the J–V characteristics of these heterojunctions can be well-fitted by the thermally-assisted tunnelling model. While the dielectric constant of Nb:SrTiO₃ extracted under the forward bias was about one order of magnitude smaller than that of bulk SrTiO₃, the value obtained under reverse bias was very close to that of the bulk SrTiO₃. The result can be explained by the existence of an interface layer on the Nb:SrTiO₃ substrate with a smaller effective dielectric constant. The current finding suggested that the properties of interface layer should be taken into account in order to accurately simulate the J–V characteristics of such heterojunctions.

Magnetoelectric effect in laminates of polymer-based pseudo-1–3 (Tb0.3Dy0.7)0.5Pr0.5Fe1.55 composite and?0.3Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.7PbTiO3 single crystal

We report an extrinsic magnetoelectric effect in composite laminates made by sandwiching one thickness-polarized 0.7Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃–0.3PbTiO₃ (PMN–PT) piezoelectric single crystal plate between two length-magnetized, polymer-based pseudo-1–3 (Tb_0.3Dy_0.7)_0.5Pr_0.5Fe_1.55 magnetostrictive composite plates. The laminates exhibit large magnetoelectric voltage coefficients (α _V ) of ∼0.17 V/Oe with a flat response for frequencies in excess of 40 kHz and of ∼2.97 V/Oe at the natural resonance frequency of ∼65 kHz. The distinct advantages of the laminates include high magnetic field sensitivity, low Joule heating loss, wide operating bandwidth, and low cost.     

Low-energy spectra in t-J-type models at low doping levels

Based on a variational approach, we propose that there are two kinds of low-energy states in the t-J-type models at low doping. In a quasiparticle state an unpaired spin bound to a hole with a well-defined momentum can be excited with spin waves. The resulting state shows a suppression of antiferromagnetic order around the hole with the profile of a spin bag. These spin-bag states with spin and charge or hole separated form a continuum of low-energy excitations. Very different properties predicted by these two kinds of states explain a number of anomalous results observed in the exact diagonalization studies on small clusters up to 32 sites.     

Characterization of Kovar-to-Kovar laser welded joints and its mechanical strength

For the packaging of a pump laser in butterfly package, the most crucial assembly step is the fiber-to-laser diode coupling and attachment. The use of laser welding as the joining method offers several advantages if compared with the adhesive joints: strong joining strength, short process time and less contamination. This paper reports on laser welding process characteristics; weld strength and its fracture mode. The penetration depth and melt area of laser spot welds were found to be complicated functions of laser pulse energy, intensity, and beam diameter. Effects of pulse width, input power and size of the focal spot on the rate of energy input to the workpieces and consequently, the weld strength were reported. The weld strength was found to be dependent on the overlapping area between the two joining materials. Surface roughness, R_a, has influence on the fraction of energy absorbed, A, and therefore, affecting the penetration depth. Thermal analysis was carried out on the laser-welded joints and its heat-affected zone (HAZ) induced by various power densities was examined. These data are important in order to optimize and utilize the laser welding process as an effective manufacturing tool for fabrication of reliable pump laser.
