Modulational instability of incoherently coupled beams in azobenzene-containing polymer with photoisomerization nonlinearity

The modulational instability of two incoherently coupled beams in azobenzene-containing polymer with photoisomerization nonlinearity is investigated analytically and numerically. Our results show that as a precursor to spatial optical soliton formation, modulational instability can be adjusted and controlled by the wavelength combinations of the signal and background beams. We also discuss the dependences of strength of modulational instability on intensities of two signal beams and background beam. These findings make it possible to predict the formation of incoherently coupled soliton pairs in azobenzene-containing polymer.     

频谱分割波分复用无源光网络及色散影响

频谱分割是使用窄带光滤波器选择宽带光源光谱的一个切片的WDM技术,在波分复用无源光网络(WDM-PON)中采用波分复用器((MUX)进行频谱分割,能够实现光网络单元(ONU)的无色化.模型分析表明由于频谱分割的作用,使得波分复用器光通带外的频谱成分被过滤,减小了宽带光源的色散影响.在20 nm CWDM标准信道间隔下,能够以不超过1 dB的光功率代价支持155 Mb/s信号在20 km的G.652常规光纤上传输;在0.8 nm DWDM信道间隔下则能够支持2.5 Gb/s信号传输,色散引起的光功率代价低于0.5 dB.采用中心波长为1550 nm、谱宽70 nm、输出功率为-10 dBm的LED,研制了125 Mb/s速率信号直接调制的无色ONU.在信道间隔为20 nm、光纤长度为20 km的4波长WDM-PON系统上进行测试,色散等因素引起的光功率代价小于1 dB,系统光功率余量则超过5.6 dB.     

基于非平衡光纤干涉仪的窄线宽激光光源跳模实时测试方法

窄线宽激光器随机发生的跳模现象,是影响光学系统稳定的重要因素.激光器线宽窄往往意味着较长的谐振腔和较小的模间隔,从而给跳模的监测带来了难度.本文提出一种基于非平衡光纤干涉仪的窄线宽光源跳模测试方法,该方法将激光器跳模的频率变化转变为干涉仪的相位变化,并通过相位产生载波(PGC)调制解调技术来检测相位信息,从而实现对跳模过程的监测.该方法灵敏度高,能够长时间连续监控,测试效果优于Fabry-Pérot干涉仪,还可在kHz量级上测量窄线宽激光器的线宽,为单纵模窄线宽激光器研究提供有效的测试手段.

Respiratory noise correction using phase information

Respiratory noise is a confounding factor in functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data analysis. A novel method called Respiratory noise Correction using Phase information is proposed to retrospectively correct for the respiratory noise in functional MRI (fMRI) time series. It is demonstrated that the respiratory movement and the phase of functional MRI images are highly correlated in time. The signal fluctuation due to respiratory movements can be effectively estimated from the phase variation and removed from the functional MRI time series using a Wiener filtering technique. In our experiments, this new method is compared with RETROICOR, which requires recording respiration signal simultaneously in an fMRI experiment. The two techniques show comparable performance with respect to the respiratory noise correction for fMRI time series. However, this technique is more advantageous because there is no need for monitoring the subjects’ respiration or changing functional MRI protocols. This technique is also potentially useful for correcting respiratory noise from abnormal breathing or when the respiration is not periodic.     

Magnetic field effect on the pairing state competition in quasi-one-dimensional organic superconductors (TMTSF)2X

We study the effect of the magnetic field on the pairing state competition in organic conductors (TMTSF)₂X by applying random phase approximation to a quasi-one-dimensional extended Hubbard model. We show that the singlet pairing, triplet pairing and the Fulde–Ferrell–Larkin–Ovchinnikov (FFLO) superconducting states may compete when charge fluctuations coexist with spin fluctuations. This rises a possibility of a consecutive transition from singlet pairing to FFLO state and further to S_z = 1 triplet pairing upon increasing the magnetic field. We also show that the singlet and S_z = 0 triplet components of the gap function in the FFLO state have “d-wave” and “f-wave” forms, respectively, which are strongly mixed.     

Time-reversal symmetry-breaking in two-band superconductors

Competition between an interband Josephson interaction and a biquadratic interband interaction can break time-reversal symmetry when the interband interactions are very weak compared with the intraband interaction. We demonstrate this using the phenomenological Ginzburg–Landau free energy, taking into account terms essential for this phenomenon. This time-reversal symmetry-breaking state peels away a sheet of an interband phase difference soliton wall. This sheet is the domain wall between two different chiral states. The peeling reduces the formation energy of the domain wall. The domain wall can simultaneously erase the Meissner effect and the specific heat jump when the entropy invokes many domain walls, and its life time is prolonged by a pinning owing to an inhomogeneity such as surface roughness.     

Runaway Electron Measurements in the EAST Tokamak

An experimental study of runaway electrons in the EAST tokamak has been performed by a recently developed multi‐channel hard x‐ray diagnostics based on NaI(TL) scintillator detectors. It is found that in the current quench phase, the inductive loop voltage plays an important role in the generation of runaway electrons. And the avalanche mechanism was the main mechanism for runaway electrons after the disruptions. The distribution and transportation of runaway electrons were also investigated by multi‐channel hard x‐ray diagnostics. It is also found that the intensity of runaway electrons emission in the core plasma was much higher than those in the downside of the cross‐section, while the emission intensity of runaway electrons in the core plasma was almost the same. Calculated shrinking coefficient of runaway electrons emission after the plasma disruption was about 26 m/s according to the experimental data (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
