Laser diode end-pumped Yb:YAG/LBO green laser

With a type-I critical phase-matching LBO crystal, an intracavity frequency doubled solid-stated Yb:YAG green laser is reported. Using a plano-concave resonator, with pump power of 1.37 W, 24.5 mW TEM₀₀ continuous wave laser at 525 nm was obtained. The optical conversion efficiency is 1.8%. By adjusting the placed angle of LBO, several lasers wavelength from 525.0 to 537.8 nm could be extracted. The maximum output power at 537.8 nm is 3.1 mW.     

Performance of dispersed Rayleigh interferometer on the active cophasing and alignment testbed

We report the laboratory experiment on a segmented mirror testbed that shows the use of a dispersed Rayleigh interferometer to phase segmented mirrors.Segment alignment of tip-tilt is fulfilled by overlapping diffraction pattern centroids of the three individual segments on the focal plane.A spherical interferometer is introduced to evaluate the performance of piston, tip-tilt sensing, and control closed-loop, and finally a total residual root-mean-square (RMS) surface error of about 45 nm is achieved, in which a typical error of about 20 nm is contributed by piston.These results demonstrate that the dispersed Rayleigh interferometer can successfully sense the piston of segmented mirrors and be used in phasing segmented telescopes under extensive studies.

基于物理光学法的建筑物内高功率微波耦合场分布计算

利用物理光学法计算了高功率微波在建筑物内的耦合场分布。根据建筑物墙壁和窗户的透射率可以得到墙壁内侧的透射场,将它代入到矢量衍射公式中直接计算出在整个建筑物内的透射场;根据建筑物地面的反射率得到地板表面的反射场,将它代入到矢量衍射公式中可计算出整个建筑物内的反射场;对透射场与反射场进行矢量相加,得到叠加场。将本文方法得到的场分布情况和时域有限差分法得到的场分布进行比较,二者结果一致。物理光学法的优点在于其物理图像清晰,计算量小,计算速度快,适合应用在大型建筑物内部耦合场分布计算上。     

The Improvement of Performance for Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution with Imperfect Gaussian Modulation

Gaussian modulation is one of the key steps for the implementation of continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) schemes. However, imperfection in the Gaussian modulation may introduce modulation noise that can deteriorate the performance of CVQKD systems. In this paper, we mainly investigate how to improve the performance of a CVQKD system from different aspects. First, we explore the several different origins, impacts and monitoring schemes for the modulation noise in detail. Then, we discuss the practical performance of a CVQKD system with an untrusted noise model and neutral party model, respectively. These analyses indicate that the neutral party model should be reasonably regarded as a general noise model, which will passively and greatly raise the performance of the system. Further, we propose a dynamic auto-bias control scheme to actively resist the modulation noise which comes from the drift of bias point of the amplitude modulator. Together these methods contribute to the improvement of the practical performance of CVQKD systems with imperfect Gaussian modulation.

A new graphical coding of DNA sequence and its similarity calculation

The DNA primary sequence is translated into “structure graph” based on classification of its four bases. Then the invariants, such as topological indices, are extracted from those graphic representations of DNA primary sequences, and used to calculate the similarities among the eleven species. From these similarities/dissimilarities the homologies can be revealed that they are in agreement with evolutionary relation satisfactorily.     

The effect of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane on the formation of NiFe2O4/SiO2 nanocomposites

NiFe₂O₄/SiO₂ nanocomposites were prepared using a sol–gel method with the addition of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APS). Different phases and morphologies of NiFe₂O₄/SiO₂ nanocomposites were obtained when different amounts of APS were used. The structural properties of the products were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Sheet-like morphology was observed at higher molar ratio of APS to NiFe₂O₄, while spherical NiFe₂O₄/SiO₂ nanoparticles separated from each other were formed at lower molar ratio of APS to NiFe₂O₄. The magnetic properties of the nanocomposites were also investigated, indicating that the interparticle interactions exhibit strong dependence on the molar ratio of APS to NiFe₂O₄.     

Multistability and multiperiodicity of delayed Cohen-Grossberg neural networks with a general class of activation functions

In this paper, by using analysis approach and decomposition of state space, the multistability and multiperiodicity issues are discussed for Cohen-Grossberg neural networks (CGNNs) with time-varying delays and a general class of activation functions, where the general class of activation functions consist of nondecreasing functions with saturation’s including piecewise linear functions with two corner points and standard activation functions as its special case. Based on the Cauchy convergence principle, some sufficient conditions are obtained for checking the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium points of the n-neuron CGNNs. It is shown that the n-neuron CGNNs can have 2ⁿ locally exponentially stable equilibrium points located in saturation regions. Also, some conditions are derived for ascertaining equilibrium points to be locally exponentially stable or globally exponentially attractive and to be located in any designated region. As an extension of multistability, some similar results are presented for ascertaining multiple periodic orbits when external inputs of the n-neuron CGNNs are periodic. Finally, three examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.     

Adiabatic approximation in PT-symmetric quantum mechanics

In this paper, we present a quantitative sufficient condition for adiabatic approximation in PT-symmetric quantum mechanics, which yields that a state of the PT-symmetric quantum system at any time will remain approximately in the m-th eigenstate up to a multiplicative phase factor whenever it is initially in the m-th eigenstate of the Hamiltonian. In addition, we estimate the approximation errors by the distance and the fidelity between the exact solution and the adiabatic approximate solution to the time evolution equation, respectively.
