Optical pulse compression of ultrashort laser pulses in a multi-hollow-core fiber

By numerical simulations and analysis, we proposed a fiber with multi-hollow-core structure for optical pulse compression of high energy ultrashort laser pulses. In this scheme, different parts of a high-energy flat-top pulse are coupled into different hollow cores of such fiber and each of the cores functions as an independent traditional hollow-core fiber compressor. After the multi-hollow-core fiber, the output beams are collimated and compressed to few-cycle level. Then they can be focused to ultra-high intensity. This method can easily be scaled to compressing pulses of large beam size with high energy without limit in principle.     

Defect structure and light‐induced scattering of Zr‐doped near‐stoichiometric Mn:Fe:LiNbO3 crystals grown by TSSG method

Near‐stoichiometric Mn:Fe:LiNbO₃ crystals doped with various concentration of ZrO₂ were grown by top seed solution growth (TSSG) method in the air atmosphere. The Zr concentration in the crystal was determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer. The defect structures were analyzed by means of ultraviolet‐visible and infrared transmittance spectra. The appearance of vibration peak at 3466 cm^‐1 in infrared spectra manifested that Li/Nb ratio in crystals approached to stoichiometric proportion. The fundamental absorption edge represented continuous red‐shift which was discrepancy with congruent doped LiNbO₃ crystals showed that doping ions possessed different location mechanism. The light‐induced scattering of the doped stoichiometric LiNbO₃crystals were quantitatively scaled via incident exposure energy. The results demonstrated that Zr(2 mol%):Mn:Fe:LiNbO₃ crystal had the weakest light‐induced scattering and the mechanism related to their defect structures was discussed.

Unique nanoscale {Cu(II)36Ln(III)24} (Ln = Dy and Gd) metallo-rings

Two unprecedented 3d-4f hexagonal metallo-rings {Ln(24)Cu(36)} (Ln = Dy and Gd) with a diagonal dimension of about 4.6 nm were facilely synthesized by self-assembly of Cu(II), Ln(III) nitrates and benzoate in the presence of triethylamine. Magnetic studies show slow relaxation behaviour for the dysprosium analogue and a large magnetocaloric effect (MCE) for the gadolinium analogue.     

Investigation on the oxidation of aryl oxiranylmethanols and the synthesis of 2-aryl-N-thiazolyl-oxirane-2-carboxamides as glucokinase activators

RuCl₃/NaIO₄-initiated oxidation of oxiranemethanols was investigated, and two products, oxirane-2-carboxylic acid and (5′-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-yl)acetic acid, were obtained in variant ratios. The product structures were determined and a tentative mechanism involving oxidation-rearrangement-oxidation process was proposed. Glucokinase enzymatic assay revealed that oxiranecarboxamides 4a-c retained moderate GK activation potency with amide 4a showing an EC₅₀ value of 584 nM and a high activation fold of 3.14. However, (5′-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-yl)acetamide 11a is inactive. This study not only provided an alternative protocol to access (5′-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-yl)acetic acid analogs, but also yielded nanomolar GA activators (esp. 4a) for further structure-activity relationship study.     

Mean width inequalities for isotropic measures

In this paper, we establish Barthe’s mean width inequalities for continuous isotropic measures by a direct approach rather than using the Brascamp–Lieb inequality. The following results are obtained: among the convex hulls of the support of isotropic measures on S ^n–1, the regular simplex inscribed in the Euclidean unit ball has maximal ?-norm; in the dual situation, there is a reverse result for their polar bodies. Moreover, the case of even isotropic measures is also investigated.     

Measurements of dynamics of nondegenerate optical nonlinearity in ZnS with pulses from optical parameter generation

We expand the degenerate PO pump-probe technique to nondegenerate field and use it to investigate optical nonlinear dynamics in ZnS single crystal. Excited by 532-nm laser pulses with 21-ps duration, the temporal response of nondegenerate nonlinear absorption and nondegenerate nonlinear refraction are probed by laser pulses from optical parameter generation (OPG) at 600 and 680 nm with pulse width of 10 ps. Based on the theory of free-carrier optical nonlinearity, we study the pure free-carrier refraction in ZnS. By numerically fitting based on the nondegenerate pump-probe theory, the nondegenerate two-photon absorption coefficient, the free-carrier lifetime, the free-carrier absorptive cross section and refractive coefficient at both probe wavelengths are determined respectively. The dispersion of the free-carrier refractive coefficients is discussed.     

含有注入信号的双向环形激光场中的驱动效应

用含有背散射和饱和效应的双模激光场的理论模型讨论了背散射和外加注入信号对环形激光场的统计性质的影响。结果表明,背散射可以抑制系统的涨落。对于均匀展宽的双向环形激光场,注入信号可以将其中的弱模光场由非相干光驱动成为相干光,而对于非均匀展宽的环形激光场则没有这种驱动效应。进一步研究发现,这种驱动效应与注入信号的强弱及两模式光场的抽运参量差异△α有关。
