Investigation of all-solid photonic bandgap fiber with low losses in low-order bandgaps

We report synoptically an investigation of design, fabrication and characterization of a new all-solid photonic bandgap fiber. By introducing an index depressed layer around a high index core in every unit cell of photonic crystal cladding, a novel all-solid bandgap fiber is predicted to obtain low confinement and bend losses within low-order bandgaps. After optimizing the structure parameters, we fabricate a batch of rods used for cladding cells, select a pure-silica rod for core cell and an inner-hexagonal jacket tube. We demonstrate an all-solid bandgap fiber with the transmission loss as low as 2 dB/km at 1,310 nm and a bandwidth of over 700 nm within the first bandgap. The guiding properties are also measured, respectively, such as transmission spectrum, attenuation spectrum, bend loss, mode field intensity profile, and chromatic dispersion.     

The freeze of intrapulse Raman scattering effect of ultrashort solitons in optical fiber

The effect of intrapulse Raman scattering (IRS) for the propagation of the femtosecond solitons in an optical fiber is investigated. To factually simulate its influence, a combination of 27 Lorentian lines to fit experimental Raman gain profile is adopted. By using nonlinear Schrödinger equation and finite-difference time domain method, the propagations of femtosecond fundamental solitons in an optical fiber are numerically calculated. When the initial power is suitably enhanced, it is found that the pulse shape is almost the same as initial pulse and the delay Raman response only makes small pulse shift. In other words, when ultrashort soliton is considered, the IRS effect is similarly frozen under the enhanced initial power.     

Notes on Superadditivity of Wigner–Yanase–Dyson Information

The classical Fisher information is superadditive in the sense that the Fisher information of a bivariate probability density is always not less than the sum of those of the marginals. The longstanding conjecture concerning the superadditivity of the Wigner–Yanase–Dyson information is a quantum analogue of this property. It is remarkable that Hansen constructed a numerical counterexample to the quantum case (J. Stat. Phys. 126: 643–648, 2007). However, the requirement of superadditivity of an information-theoretic quantity such as the Wigner–Yanase–Dyson information seems so intuitive, it is desirable to identify conditions as general as possible such that the superadditivity holds. In this paper, we establish the superadditivity in several physically significant cases.

Synthesis and luminescent properties of Y6W2O15:Eu phosphors

In this paper, a novel phosphor, Y₆W₂O₁₅:Eu³⁺ was synthesized by thermal decomposition and phase transition of its decatungstate gel precursor. With stepwise increase of temperature to 750 °C, a crystalline phase of Y₆W₂O₁₅:Eu³⁺forms that gives intense red emission when excited at 466 nm, the emission is attributed to the Eu³⁺ ions transitions from ⁵D₀ excited states to ⁷F_J (J=0-4) ground states. The long excitation wavelength proves the Eu³⁺ transition follows the photoexcitation of the oxygen-metal (O→W lmct) charge transfer bands in yttrium tungstate. Some structural information regarding Y₆W₂O₁₅ provided by luminescence is in accord with that characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The long-wavelength excitation properties of this material may find application in the production of red phosphors for white light-emitting diodes (LEDs).     

Synthesis and properties of amphoteric copolymer of 5‐vinyltetrazole and vinylbenzyl phosphonic acid

Amphoteric polymers have been studied for various applications such as separation of low molecular weight organic molecules from inorganic salt mixtures, selective ion transport, drug delivery through membranes of biological interest, separation of ionic drugs and proteins, and separation of alcohol and water. Typical amphoteric polymers consist of weak base and weak acid groups. In present study, the copolymerization of 5‐vinyltetrazole (VT) and diisopropyl‐p‐vinylbenzyl phosphate (DIPVBP) via free radical polymerization is studied. The reactivity ratio of VT and DIPVBP, which is calculated from Kelen‐Tudos plot, is 0.251 and 0.345, respectively. The amphoteric copolymer of VT and diisopropyl‐p‐vinylbenzyl phosphonic acid (poly(VT‐co‐VBPA)) is obtained from hydrolysis of the copolymer of VT and DIPVBP (poly(VT‐co‐DIPVBP)). Poly(VT‐co‐VBPA) is thermally stable under 190 °C. The anhydrous proton conductivity of amphoteric poly(VT‐co‐VBPA) can reach 1.54 × 10^‐4 S cm^?1 at 170 °C with an activation energy of 114.7 kJ mol^?1. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

Synthesis and crystal structures of silver(I) complexes of 3(5)-methyl-5(3)-phenyl-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-1,2,4-triazole: two isomeric infinite chains coexisting in the same crystal

Reactions of 3(5)-methyl-5(3)-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole (3-Me-5-Ph-tzH) with AgNO₃ in the absence/presence of NH₃ yield a mononuclear [Ag(3-Me-5-Ph-tzH)₂]NO₃·3H₂O (1) and a polymeric [Ag(3-Me-5-Ph-tz)]_n (2), respectively. Two structurally different infinite chains, however, with the same formula of AgC₉H₈N₃—one is double-decked and the other single zigzag—coexist in 1:1 ratio in the crystal of 2. As far as we know, 2 is the first binary silver(I) complex based on an asymmetric triazole and represents a rare case of two supramolecular isomers coexisting in the same crystal.
