A multi-parameter optical fiber sensor with interrogation and discrimination capabilities

A multi-parameter and multi-function, but low-cost, optical fiber grating sensor with self-interrogation and self-discrimination capabilities is presented theoretically and experimentally. The sensor bases on three fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) and one fiber long period grating (LPG). Strain, vibration, pressure, ordinary temperature (−10 to 100 °C) and high temperature (100–800 °C) can be measured by the sensor. When high temperature (100–800 °C) is measured, the LPG is used as a high temperture sensor head and FBG₁ is used as an interrogation element. Alternatively, when one of the other four measurands is measured, FBG₁ (or FBG₂) is used as a sensor head and LPG is used as an interrogation element. When two of the other four measurands are measured simultaneously, FBG₁ and FBG₂ are used as sensor heads and LPG is used as a shared interrogation element. FBG₃ is used as a reference element to eliminate the errors resulted from light source fluctuation and the cross-sensitivity between measurand and environmental temperature. The measurands can be interrogated according to the signals of the photodiodes (PDs), which are related to the relative wavelength shift of the LPG and the FBGs. Experimental results agree well with theoretical analyses. The interrogation scheme is immune to light source fluctuation and the cross-sensitivity between measurands and enviromental temperature, and also the dynamic range is large.     

Small Deviations of Riemann-Liouville Processes In lq Spaces With Respect To Fractal Measures

We investigate Riemann–Liouville processes R_H, with H> 0, and fractional Brownian motions B_H, for 0 < H <1, and study their small deviation properties in the spacesL_q([0, 1], µ). Of special interest here are thin (fractal)measures µ, that is, those that are singular with respectto the Lebesgue measure. We describe the behavior of small deviationprobabilities by numerical quantities of µ, called mixedentropy numbers, characterizing size and regularity of the underlyingmeasure. For the particularly interesting case of self-similarmeasures, the asymptotic behavior of the mixed entropy is evaluatedexplicitly. We also provide two-sided estimates for this quantityin the case of random measures generated by subordinators. While the upper asymptotic bound for the small deviation probabilityis proved by purely probabilistic methods, the lower bound isverified by analytic tools concerning entropy and Kolmogorovnumbers of Riemann–Liouville operators. 2000 MathematicsSubject Classification 60G15 (primary), 47B06, 47G10, 28A80(secondary).     

Bohmian mechanics to high-order harmonic generation

This paper introduces Bohmian mechanics (BM) into the intense laser-atom physics to study high-order harmonic generation. In BM, the trajectories of atomic electron in an intense laser field can be obtained with the Bohm--Newton equation. The power spectrum with the trajectory of an atomic electron is calculated, which is found to be irregular. Next, the power spectrum associated with an atom ensemble from BM is considered, where the power spectrum becomes regular and consistent with that from quantum mechanics. Finally, the reason of the generation of the irregular spectrum is discussed.

Multiple teleportation via partially entangled GHZ state

Quantum teleportation is important for quantum communication. We propose a protocol that uses a partially entangled Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) state for single hop teleportation. Quantum teleportation will succeed if the sender makes a Bell state measurement, and the receiver performs the Hadamard gate operation, applies appropriate Pauli operators, introduces an auxiliary particle, and applies the corresponding unitary matrix to recover the transmitted state.We also present a protocol to realize multiple teleportation of partially entangled GHZ state without an auxiliary particle. We show that the success probability of the teleportation is always 0 when the number of teleportations is odd. In order to improve the success probability of a multihop, we introduce the method used in our single hop teleportation, thus proposing a multiple teleportation protocol using auxiliary particles and a unitary matrix. The final success probability is shown to be improved significantly for the method without auxiliary particles for both an odd or even number of teleportations.     

Observation of a red-blue detuning asymmetry in matter-wave superradiance

We report the first experimental observation of strong suppression of matter-wave superradiance using blue-detuned pump light and demonstrate a pump-laser detuning asymmetry in the collective atomic recoil motion. In contrast to all previous theoretical frameworks, which predict that the process should be symmetric with respect to the sign of the detuning of the pump laser from the one-photon resonance, we find that for condensates the symmetry is broken. With high condensate densities and red-detuned pump light the distinctive multiorder, matter-wave scattering pattern is clearly visible, whereas with blue-detuned pump light superradiance is strongly suppressed. However, in the limit of a dilute atomic gas symmetry is restored.     

Bichromatic laser frequency stabilization with Doppler effect and polarization spectroscopy

The interaction between polychromatic fields and atoms is an important subject in quantum optics.Frequency locking for small frequency interval multi-field is usually required in some experiments.In this letter,we experimentally demonstrate a holistic scheme for bichromatic laser frequency stabilization.Compared with traditional saturation absorption methods and complicated frequency shift schemes,offset locking for bichromatic fields is simply achieved using polarization spectroscopy and Doppler effect.Frequency locking with a wide-range asymmetry of the detuning is also shown.Our scheme makes laser spectroscopy experiments with polychromatic fields more convenient.

Ab initio investigation into the structural, electronic and elastic properties of AlCu2TM (TM = Ti, Zr and Hf) ternary compounds

The Al-Cu-TM (TM = transition metal) alloy system has attracted great attention for both excellent glass-forming ability and its interesting physical properties. In this work, an investigation into the crystal, electrical and elastic properties of the AlCu₂TM (TM = Ti, Zr, and Hf) compounds has been conducted by first-principles calculations based on density-functional theory. The fully relaxed structure parameters of the AlCu₂TM compounds are in good agreement with previous experimental and other theoretical results. Besides, the cohesive energies of all the AlCu₂TM compounds have been evaluated. The energy band and densities of state of these compounds are also obtained. According to the calculated single crystal elastic constants, all the compounds are mechanically stable. The polycrystalline bulk moduli, shear moduli, Young’s moduli and Poisson’s ratio have been deduced by using Voigt-Reuss-Hill (VRH) approximations. The calculated negative Cauchy pressure and ratio of bulk modulus to shear modulus indicated that the AlCu₂TM compounds are ductile materials. The Debye temperatures of the AlCu₂TM compounds decrease with increasing the TM (Ti, Zr, and Hf) atomic number.
