Liquid-crystal-based tunable high-Q directional random laser from a planar random microcavity

Temperature-tunable directional laser emission from a dye-doped liquid-crystal-based planar random cavity laser is presented. The optically pumped nematic liquid crystal infiltrated planar random microcavity produces an ultranarrow linewidth (0.03 nm, corresponding to Q>20,000), highly directional (1.4 degrees divergence angle) laser emission. By increasing the temperature from 27 degrees C to 34 degrees C, the wavelength of an emitted polarized laser can be tuned between 605.8 and 608.5 (ordinary light) and 631.3 and 624.9 nm (extraordinary light). A simulation result from the transfer matrix method that matches the experimental results well is also presented.     

Polarization beam splitter using a binary blazed grating coupler

A novel polarization beam splitter using a two-layer grating coupler is proposed and demonstrated. It can directly couple the normally incident light from fiber into two separate waveguides according to their polarization states while splitting them. It realizes high coupling efficiency and a good extinction ratio by using binary blazed grating couplers. The coupling length is less than 14 microm. The extinction ratio is better than 20 dB for both polarizations over a 40 nm wavelength range, and the coupling efficiencies for the two layers are 58% and 50%.     

水分子对碳链的输运性质影响的第一性原理研究

用基于密度泛函理论的非平衡格林函数方法研究了水分子对7个碳原子组成的一维原子链的输运性质的影响.碳原子链放在具有有限截面的Al(100)电极中.研究发现，碳原子链上的水分子的数目和放置的位置的不同将对体系输运性质产生很大的影响.特别是，单个H₂O分子对碳链平衡电导的影响随其摆放位置的不同而出现奇偶振荡，例如，当位于奇数编号的碳原子上时，电导取极大值，当位于偶数编号的碳原子上时，取极小值.将两个H₂O分子置于不同的碳原子正上方时，在不同的位置平衡电导相差很大，在某些特殊的情况下原本受到抑止的第三个本征通道也有较大的贡献.此外，还研究了放置两个水分子时，体系的电流-电压(I-V)特性，随着水分子的数目和放置的位置不同，某些情况可能出现较大幅度的负微分电阻，而在另一些情况下却没有出现. 关键词： 平衡电导 透射谱 负微分电阻

Propagation of high-power partially coherent fibre laser beams in a real environment

The propagation performance of high-power partially coherent fibre laser beams in a real environment is investigated and the theoretical model of a high-power fibre laser propagating in a real environment is established. The influence of a collimating system and thermal blooming is considered together with atmospheric turbulence and mechanical jitter. The laser energy concentration of partially coherent beams in the far field is calculated and analysed based on the theoretical model. It is shown that the propagation performance of partially coherent beams depends on the collimating system, atmospheric turbulence, mechanical jitter and thermal blooming. The propagation performance of partially coherent beams and fully coherent beams is studied and the results show that partially coherent beams are less sensitive to the influence of thermal blooming, which results in that the energy degeneration for partially coherent beams is only 50% of that for fully coherent beams. Both partially coherent beams and fully coherent beams become less sensitive to thermal blooming when the average structural constant of the refraction index fluctuations increases to 1.7 × 10^-14 m^-2/3. The investigation presents a reference for applications of a high-power fibre laser system.

Proposal of metal bellows-based fiber Bragg grating accelerometer

A metal bellows-based fiber Bragg grating(FBG) accelerometer is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The optical fiber(containing the FBG) is pre-tensioned,and the two ends of the optical fiber are fixed directly from the shell to the inertial mass. In this design,the FBG is uniformly tensioned to obtain a constant strain distribution over it. By employing this configuration,the FBG always has a sharp reflection characteristic with no broadening in its reflection spectrum during wavelength shifting. Dy...
