Flat-top interleavers with chromatic dispersion compensator based on phase dispersive free space Mach-Zehnder interferometer

In this paper, novel interleavers using circular cavities (CC) in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) has been presented and demonstrated for the first time, in which CCs act as phase dispersive mirrors which exhibit a periodic dependence on the frequency of light. Three implementation schemes have been proposed and investigated. Theoretical analysis shows the spectral characteristics of each scheme in a 50-GHz channel spacing application. Furthermore, the chromatic dispersion (CD) of each output comb can be flattened within passband by appending an additional CC. The result shows that the proposed designs with novel interferometer technique can simultaneously provide flat top passbands, high isolation stopband and low CD value as well.     

Nonlinear change in refractive index of Co2+:ZnSe at short-pulse single-beam 1.54-μm Z-scan probing

An experimental study and theoretical modeling of the nonlinear change in refractive index of a Co^{2 +}: ZnSe crystal at the short-pulse single-beam probing at the wavelength 1.54 μm is reported. In the experimental conditions of negligible contributions in the index non-linearity stemming from the Kerr-effect and inhomogeneous heating, the nonlinear change in refractive index in Co^{2 +}:ZnSe is shown to be caused by the resonant Co^{2 +} population-perturbation effect (i.e., by the Co^{2 +} ground-state absorption saturation). The Z-scan single-beam technique and novel theoretical approach addressing the resonant nonlinear refraction in a saturable doped medium are used, respectively, for an experimental and theoretical inspection of the phenomenon. For a set of Co^{2 +}:ZnSe samples with different concentrations of Co^{2 +} ions at the short-pulse (200 ns) mJ-range probing, we show that the maximal nonlinear change in refractive index is about of units of 10^{− 4} at the chosen wavelength.     

Population transfer in multilevel system through modified stimulated Raman adiabatic passage

Stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) has been successfully extended to multilevel system. During the STIRAP process, the intermediate levels have notable population which is detrimental if these levels could decay to other levels through spontaneous emission. This paper proposes a novel method to reduce the intermediate level population during the STIRAP process. A complete population transfer can be achieved in this modified STIRAP even if the intermediate level decays to other levels.     

密闭高温高压溶样ICP-MS测定24个国际地质标样中的Sb和Bi

研究了ICP-MS分析中Bi,Sb,Te和As产生的记忆效应,其记忆效应Bi>Sb>Te>As。在低浓度硝酸介质中(0.01%～1%),贮存样品的聚丙烯瓶和ICP-MS的进样管道会对Bi元素产生严重的吸附作用。0.1%氢氟酸的清洗效果优于6%的硝酸,而6%的硝酸的清洗效果要优于0.1%高氯酸。在给定的仪器操作条件下,Sb和Bi的检出限分别为0.001和0.000 1 ng·mL-1。采用该清洗方法,结合密闭高温高压溶样,测定了24个国际地质标样中的Bi和Sb。大部分标样的测定结果与已有参考值吻合较好。文章还给出了国际标样AGV-2(安山岩)、BHVO-2(玄武岩)和BCR-2(玄武岩)中Bi和Sb的测定值。     

掺杂对CH样品Rayleigh-Taylor不稳定性增长的影响

在神光II激光装置上进行了辐射驱动不同掺杂样品的单模Rayleigh-Taylor(RT)不稳定性实验.结果显示:与纯碳氢(CH)样品相比,掺Br的CH样品的扰动更早、更快地进入非线性区,产生二次谐波,并且掺Br比例越高,CH样品扰动进入非线性区的时间越早,相同时刻扰动的二次谐波的幅度越高.这是因为密度梯度效应抑制了二次谐波的产生,掺Br比例越高,密度梯度标长越小;同时密度梯度效应还抑制三次谐波对基模增长的负反馈,造成基模具有更大的线性增长,导致线性饱和幅值大于经典值0.1λ.     

一种可用于酚类化合物检测的酶传感器

利用溶胶-凝胶法将辣根过氧化物酶(HRP)固定化于二氧化硅凝胶网络中构建了可用于酚类化合物检测的酶传感器。对二氧化硅载体材料进行了结构表怔。二氧化硅多孔材料的平均孔径为2.95 nm。孔径小于5 nm占总数的84.068%。由于辣根过氧化物酶的分子尺寸远远大于二氧化硅的凝胶网络的平均孔径,因此不会泄露到溶液中去,而尺寸较小的底物可以发生反应。包埋的辣根过氧化物酶在H₂O₂的存在下,能够催化氧化苯酚与4-氨基安替比林反应生成醌亚胺有色化合物。通过紫外-可见光谱测定醌亚胺有色化合物的吸光度,即可以确立苯酚的含量。对于象含氯酚类的重要污染物, 如邻氯酚、间氯酚、2,4-二氯酚,这种方法也同样适用。此外,对多次测定以后的酶的活性下降的问题进行了讨论,结果表明酶传感器可以重复使用10次以上。但响应时间会变长。     

Azimuthal anchoring of a nematic liquid crystal on a grooved interface with anisotropic polar anchoring

Zhang Y J et al.[Zhang Y J,Zhang Z D,Zhu L Z and Xuan L 2011 Liquid Cryst.38 355] investigated the effects of finite polar anchoring on the azimuthal anchoring energy at a grooved interface,in which polar anchoring was isotropic in the local tangent plane of the surface.In this paper,we investigate the effects of both isotropic and anisotropic polar anchoring on the surface anchoring energy in the frame of Fukuda et al.’s theory.The results show that anisotropic polar anchoring strengthens the azimuthal anchoring of grooved surfaces.In the one-elastic-constant approximation(K11 = K22 = K33 = K),the surface-groove-induced azimuthal anchoring energy is entirely consistent with the result of Faetti,and it reduces to the original result of Berreman with an increase in polar anchoring.Moreover,the contribution of the surface-like elastic term to the Rapini-Papoular anchoring energy is zero.     

Influence of pumping laser bandwidth on the quantum fluctuation chracteristic of non-degenerate optical parametric amplifier

Usually the quantum fluctuation characteristic of the non-degenerate optical parametric amplifier is analysed under the assumption of monochromatic pumping. However, in experiments, the driving beam with finite bandwidth is used to obtain the non-degenerate signal and idler beam amplifications. On account of that, we derive an analytical solution for the non-degenerate optical parametric amplification system with finite bandwidth laser pumping, and evaluate the associated quantum fluctuation. Finally, the application of the V₁ criterion to the bipartite entanglement is discussed.     

基于背景原型对比度的显著性物体检测

针对传统显著性模型在自然图像的显著性物体检测中存在的缺陷,提出了一种利用背景原型(background prototypes)进行对比的视觉关注模型,以实现显著性物体的检测与提取;传统显著性模型主要通过计算区域中心与四周区域差异性实现显著性检测,而自然场景中显著性区域和背景区域往往都存在较大差异,导致在复杂图像中难以获得理想检测效果;基于背景原型对比度的显著性物体检测方法在图像分割生成的超像素图基础上,选择距离图像中心较远的图像区域作为背景原型区域,通过计算图像中任意区域与这些背景原型区域的颜色对比度准确检测和提取图像中的显著性物体;实验结果表明,基于背景原型对比度的显著性模型可以更好地滤除杂乱背景,产生更稳定、准确的显著图,在准确率、召回率和F-measure等关键性能和直观视觉效果上均优于目前最先进的显著性模型,计算复杂度低,利于应用推广。
