Simultaneous chromatic dispersion monitoring,extinction ratio enhancement and wavelength conversion using four-wave mixing

This paper presents a multi-functional all-optical device performs simultaneous chromatic dispersion (CD) monitoring, extinction ratio (ER) improvement and tunable wavelength conversion using four-wave mixing (FWM) in a single piece of highly nonlinear optical fiber (HNLF). The multi-functional ability arises from the nonlinear power transfer function (PTF) between the input signal and the output idler wave, which not only maps the CD information of the signal onto the average power of idler wave, but also transfers the data information to the idler wave with ER enhancement, making the device compact and cost effective. Furthermore within the wavelength tuning range the monitoring sensitivity and output ER can be much higher compared to all optical monitors and regenerators proposed before. Numerical simulations are then used to demonstrate the efficiency of this method.     

Quasi-fractional Talbot effect of resonant diffraction grating

The Fresnel diffraction of resonant diffraction grating is studied on the basis of the modal method, and it shows that the conventional fractional Talbot effect can still occur by choosing appropriate parameters. The Fresnel diffraction distributions of the resonant diffraction gratings with periods between λ and 4λ are analyzed, and the diffraction fields exhibit periodicity in both grating direction and the propagating direction. The experiment is carried out to verify the simulation results of the quasi-fractional Talbot effect of the resonant diffraction grating. This effect has potential application in lithography for high-resolution patterning.

Observation of D+(s)K- and evidence for D+(s)pi- final states in neutral B decays

We report the first observation of a B meson decay that is not accessible by a direct spectator process. The channel B(0)-->D(+)(s)K- is found in a sample of 85 x 10(6) BB; events, collected with the Belle detector at KEKB, with a branching fraction B(B(0)-->D(+)(s)K-)=(4.6(+1.2)(-1.1)+/-1.3) x 10(-5). We also obtain evidence for the B0-->D(+)(s)pi(-) decay with branching fraction B(B0-->D(+)(s)pi(-))=(2.4(+1.0)(-0.8)+/-0.7) x 10(-5). This value may be used to extract a model-dependent value of |V(ub)|.     

Temporal electronic structure of non-resonant Raman excited virtual state of P-nitroaniline by 514 nm excitation via bond polarisabilities

We have studied the temporal bond polarisabilities of para-nitroaniline from the Raman intensities by the algorithm proposed by Wu et al.in 1987 (Tian B,Wu G,Liu G 1987 J.Chem.Phys.87 7300).The bond polarisabilities provide much information concerning the electronic structure of the non-resonant Raman excited virtual state.At the initial moment by the 514.5 nm excitation,the tendency of the excited electrons (mapped out by the bond polarisabilities) is to spread to the molecular periphery,and the electronic structure of the Raman virtual state is close to the pseudo-quinonoidic state.When the final stage of relaxation is approached,the bond polarisabilities of those peripheral bonds relax faster than those closer to the molecular core,the phenyl ring.The molecule is in the benzenoidic form as demonstrated by the bond polarisabilities after relaxation.

Anisotropic partial differential equation noise-reduction algorithm based on fringe feature for ESPI

Noise reduction is one of the most exciting problems in electronic speckle pattern interferometry. We present a new anisotropic partial differential equation noise-reduction algorithm based on fringe orientation for interferometric fringe patterns. The proposed equation performs diffusion along the two directions of fringe gradient and isophote line, which are extracted accurately according to fringe feature. By restriction of diffusion in the gradient direction of fringe patterns, this method can provide optimal results in denoising but does not destroy fringe edges. The experimental results show that this technique is more capable of significantly improving the quality of the fringe patterns than the classical anisotropic diffusion equation proposed by Perona and Malik. Based on our filtered fringe patterns, the phase map obtained by phase-shifting technique can be extracted more accurately. It is an effective pre-processing method for electronic speckle pattern interferometry.     

Study of EPR parameters and defect structure for two tetragonal impurity centers in MgO:Cr<Superscript>3+</Superscript> and MgO:Mn<Superscript>4+</Superscript> crystals

The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters (g-factors g _‖, g _⊥ and zero-field splitting D) of two tetragonal 3d³ impurity centers M_3d-V_Mg and M_3d-Li⁺ (where M_3d = Cr³⁺ or Mn⁴⁺, V_Mg is the Mg²⁺ vacancy) in M_3d-doped MgO crystals are calculated from the high-order perturbation formulas including both the crystal-field (CF) and the charge-transfer (CT) mechanisms for 3d³ ions in the tetragonal symmetry. The calculated results are in reasonable agreement with the experimental values. From the calculations, it can be found that the relative importance of the CT mechanism for EPR parameters increases with increasing valence state of the 3d³ ion. So, for the high-valence 3d ⁿ ions in crystals, a reasonable explanation of EPR parameters should take into account both CF and CT mechanisms. The defect structures (characterized by the displacement ΔR of O²⁻ in the intervening M_3d and V_Mg or Li⁺ at the Mg²⁺ site) for these tetragonal impurity centers are obtained from the calculations. The results are consistent with the expectations based on the electrostatic interactions.     

Direct measurement of the surface dynamics of supercooled liquid-glycerol by optical scanning a film

The surface dynamics of supercooled liquid-glycerol is studied by scanning the thickness of the glycerol film with single photon detection. Measurements are performed at room temperature well above the glycerol's glass transition temperature. It is shown that the surface dynamics of the glycerol film is very sensitive to the temperature. The linear relationship between the thickness of the film and the viscosity predicted by the Vogel--Fulcher--Tammann--Hesse (VFTH) law is also presented experimentally.
