Compact TEM<Subscript>00</Subscript> grazing-incidence Nd:GdVO<Subscript>4</Subscript> laser using a folded cavity

A compact diode-side-pumped Nd:GdVO₄ laser system using a folded cavity and grazing-incidence configuration is presented. The highest multimode output power obtained was 21.8 W at 36 W of effective diode pump power. Highest optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 61.5% was achieved at 33 W of effective diode pump power with 20.3 W of multimode output power. For single-mode TEM₀₀ operation, an intracavity telescope was adopted for mode matching in the horizontal direction. Because of the folded cavity and the intracavity telescope, this laser head was the most compact to our knowledge of the TEM₀₀ grazing-incidence laser geometry. At last, an output power of 15 W was produced at 36 W of effective diode pump power. The stable Q-switching operation was also obtained. PACS 42.55.-f; 42.55.Xi; 42.60.Gd     

The symmetric and antisymmetric superexchange interactions in spin-Peierls system

The influences of Dzyaloshinskii Moriya （DM） interaction and Kaplan-Shekhtman-Entinwohlman-Aharony （KSEA） interaction on the dimerization of a spin-Peierls system are investigated theoretically by using the Lanczos numerical method. The ground state of the spin-Peierls system is still dimerized phase when both of the DM and the KSEA interactions have the same value with Heisenberg interaction. It is found that the KSEA interaction and uniform DM interaction are always against systemic dimerization, but the staggered DM interaction acts in favour of dimerization. Furthermore, the influences of the DM and the KSEA interactions are also studied in terms of the ground state index rate and the energy gap index rate of the dimerized Heisenberg system. The results show that the DM interaction makes the index rates larger, while the KSEA interaction makes them smaller.     

Modeling the radio and optical/NIR afterglows of GRB 980703: A numerical study

Extensive multi-band afterglow data are available for GRB 980703. Especially, its radio afterglow was very bright and was monitored until more than 1000 days after the trigger time. Additionally, there is no obvious special feature, i.e., no rebrightenings, no plateau, and no special steep decay or slow decay in the multi-band afterglow light curves. All these conditions make GRB 980703 a precious sample in gamma-ray burst research. Here we use the observational data of GRB 980703 to test the standard fireball model in depth. It is found that the model can give a satisfactory explanation to the multi-band and overall afterglow light curves. The beaming angle of GRB 980703 is derived as ∼ 0.23 radian, and the circum-burst medium density is ∼ 27 cm⁻³. The total isotropic equivalent kinetic energy of the ejecta is ∼ 3.8 × 10⁵² ergs. A rest-frame extinction of A _V ∼ 2.5 mag in the host galaxy is also derived.     

High-power 1.5 and 3.4 μm intracavity KTA OPO driven by a diode-pumped Q-switched Nd:YAG laser

With a non-critically phase-matched KTA crystal, a high-power intracavity optical parametric oscillator (IOPO) driven by a diode-side-pumped acousto-optically Q-switched Nd:YAG laser has been realized. The maximum average output power of 13.6 W at the signal wavelength of 1534 nm and 3 W at the idler wavelength of 3472.7 nm were obtained with the repetition rate of 18 kHz, giving the optical-optical conversion efficiency of about 5.7% from diode-power at 808 nm to OPO signal output, which was the highest conversion efficiency for intracavity KTA OPO with diode-side-pumping configurations to our best knowledge. At the highest output power of 13.6 W, the signal pulse duration of 5.46 ns was obtained, corresponding to the single pulse energy of 756 μJ and peak power of 138 kW, respectively.     

Method of state code matrixes in the realization of optical switching using Perfect Shuffle

Based on the Left Perfect Shuffle (LPS) optical communication network constructed by cascade multi-stage LPS interconnection, using Looping algorithm, any arbitrary sequence of the input signals can be realized. However, instead of obtaining the simultaneous state codes of the same level node switches through mathematical analytical expressions directly, only routing tags of each channel can be obtained through mathematical analytical expressions so as to draw out topological chart of the network to obtain the state codes implied in the chart. Thus, the states of the switches cannot be directly programmed and controlled by computer in practical application. In this paper, based on the Looping algorithm, a method of stage code matrixes is presented to resolve this problem. By using the method, the simultaneous state codes of the same level’s four node switches can be directly obtained, which is convenient for the computer to provide controlled signals needed to finish the permutation for each node switch. The method of stage code matrixes provides further theoretical basis for the realization of optical switching by integration of Perfect Shuffle and high-speed optical switches.     

High speed and wide temperature range uncooled 1.3-μm ridge waveguide DFB lasers

A 1.3-μm wavelength vertical-mesa ridge waveguide mulitple-quantum-well （MQW） distributed feedback （DFB） laser with high directly modulated bandwidth and wide operation temperature range is reported. With the optimization of the strained-layer MQWs in the active region, the surrounding graded-index separated-confinement-heterostructure waveguide layers, together with the optimization of the detuning and coupling coefficient of the DFB grating, high directly modulation bandwidth of 16 GHz at room temperature and wide working temperature range from -40 to 85 ℃ are obtained. The mean time to failure （MTTF） is estimated to be over 2×10^6 h. The device is suitable as light source of high-bit-rate optical transmitters with small size and reduced cost.

A novel configuration of fiber ring laser acoustic sensor, which adopts single-mode fiber as sensing element, is proposed and demonstrated. Linewidth less than 1 kHz is achieved by introducing a segment of erbium-doped fiber in the reflecting arm as saturable absorber. A polarization independent unbalanced Michelson interrogation interferometer and phase generated carrier demodulation technique are adopted to recover signal. Experiments demonstrate that the phase sensitivity is 0.018 rad/nm in good linearity and equivalent minimum detect able length change reaches 19.1 pm.     

梯形化合物NaV2O4F电子结构的第一性原理研究

采用基于密度泛函理论(DFT)的第一性原理赝势平面波方法, 通过自旋极化的广义梯度近似(GGA)电子结构计算对梯形化合物NaV2O4F进行了研究. 考虑了四种假想的自旋有序态, 计算结果表明该化合物的磁基态具有二维反铁磁(AFM)结构, 即沿梯阶和梯腿方向都表现为AFM作用. 能带结构显示NaV2O4F为绝缘体材料, 带隙约为1.0 eV. 方锥体中的晶体场劈裂使得VO4F方锥体中的 V4+(3d1)离子的未配对电子填充dxy轨道. 电负性极强的F离子使得梯阶上的共价性减弱,并导致梯阶上的交换作用减弱. 采用Noodleman的对称性破缺方法由Ising模型拟合出的自旋交换耦合常数表明NaV2O4F的梯间还存在强度与梯阶的AFM作用相当的铁磁(FM)相互作用, 说明该梯形化合物很可能不是一种自旋梯材料.
