Observation of a red-blue detuning asymmetry in matter-wave superradiance

We report the first experimental observation of strong suppression of matter-wave superradiance using blue-detuned pump light and demonstrate a pump-laser detuning asymmetry in the collective atomic recoil motion. In contrast to all previous theoretical frameworks, which predict that the process should be symmetric with respect to the sign of the detuning of the pump laser from the one-photon resonance, we find that for condensates the symmetry is broken. With high condensate densities and red-detuned pump light the distinctive multiorder, matter-wave scattering pattern is clearly visible, whereas with blue-detuned pump light superradiance is strongly suppressed. However, in the limit of a dilute atomic gas symmetry is restored.     

Zirconium-doped hybrid films patterned by soft lithography for distributed-feedback lasers

Zirconium (Zr)-doped hybrid films containing Rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) were prepared by spin-coating on glass substrates with different Zr–Si molar ratio. Second-order distributed-feedback (DFB) resonators with large surface-relief modulation depth over 160 nm could be fabricated by soft lithographic technique using a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) replica. Optically pumped by a pulsed frequency-doubled Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, the emission wavelength of the DFB-lasers can be tuned over 16 nm by changing the grating period. With the optimization of the Zr–Si molar ratio, low laser threshold of 3 μJ/mm² was obtained.     

The propagation of radially polarized partially coherent beam through an optical system in turbulent atmosphere

The propagation of a radially polarized partially coherent beam through an optical system in turbulent atmosphere is investigated. Analytical propagation formulae for the radially polarized partially coherent beam through an optical system in turbulent atmosphere are derived, and some analyses are illustrated by numerical examples related to propagation properties of the radially polarized partially coherent beam through a double-lens system in turbulent atmosphere. It is shown that the optical system, structure constant of turbulent atmosphere and the initial coherent length have significant influence on intensity, degree of polarization and degree of coherence for radially polarized partially coherent beam.     

Spectral studies on erbium doped potassium lithium tantalate niobate single crystal grown by the step-cooling technique

An erbium doped K_0.603Li_0.397Ta_0.428Nb_0.572O₃ single crystal was grown by the step-cooling technique. The crystal has a tetragonal tungsten bronze-type structure at room temperature with a Curie temperature of 303°C. There are Er ions characteristic absorption bands around 449, 485, 521, 550, and 652 nm in the visible absorption spectrum. Upconversion fluorescence spectra and power dependence centered at 527 nm, 548 nm, and 660 nm under 975 nm excitation were measured at room temperature. Decay lifetimes of the 548 nm and 660 nm emission bands are 281 μs and 420 μs, respectively. The lifetime of the 548 nm emission corresponding to the transition of ?⁴ S _3/2→⁴ I _15/2 is ten times the lifetime of the same transition of Er³⁺ in LiNbO₃ crystal and twice in KYb(WO₄)₂ crystal. The crystal might become a promising upconversion laser material. The upconversion mechanism of Er³⁺ in the sample was discussed based on decay curves and pump power dependence analyses in this work.     

Random attractor and upper semi-continuity for Zakharov lattice system with multiplicative white noise

In this paper, we study the long-term asymptotic behaviour of solutions to the stochastic Zakharov lattice equation with multiplicative white noise. We first transfer the stochastic lattice equation into a random lattice equation and prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions which generate a random dynamical system. Then we consider the existence of a tempered random bounded absorbing set and a random attractor for the system. Finally we establish the upper semi-continuity of random attractor to the global attractor of the limiting system as the coefficients of the white noise terms tend to zero.     

Sufficient conditions for error bounds and linear regularity in Banach spaces

In this paper, we study error bounds for lower semicontinuous functions defined on Banach space and linear regularity for finitely many closed subset in Banach spaces. By using Clarke＇s subd- ifferentials and Ekeland variational principle, we establish several sufficient conditions ensuring error bounds and linear regularity in Banach spaces.     

Explicit Stationary Distribution of the （L, 1）-reflecting Random Walk on the Half Line

In this paper,we consider the（L,1） state-dependent reflecting random walk（RW） on the half line,which is an RW allowing jumps to the left at a maximal size L.For this model,we provide an explicit criterion for（positive） recurrence and an explicit expression for the stationary distribution.As an application,we prove the geometric tail asymptotic behavior of the stationary distribution under certain conditions.The main tool employed in the paper is the intrinsic branching structure within the（L,1）-random walk.
