Large Bandwidth Optical Limiting by Kerr Medium Doped One-Dimensional Coupled Cavity Optical Waveguides

We present a new method to realize large bandwidth optical limiting using Kerr nonlinearity doped one-dimensional coupled cavity optical waveguides (CCOWs). When the incident intensity is weak, the structure is a perfect CCOW that supports a high transmission band. When the intensity is increased, the Kerr effects change the refractive index of the Kerr cavity which results in a large decrease of transmission coefficients in the whole band. We numerically analyse the limiter using the nonlinear transfer matrix method and nonlinear finite difference in time domain method. Optical limiting effects are observed in the whole transmission band, and optimization methods are also discussed.     

Resonance Absorption of Metallic Plate with Subwavelength Hole Array

The optical reflectance by a metallic plate arranged with array consisting of subwavelength periodic square hole is investigated by using the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method （3D-FDTD）. There are dips in the reflectivity spectra, which indicate the absorption peaks. The absorption peaks behave differently according to the ratio of hole width and the period of the hole array. Combined with the near fields of the absorption peaks, it is found that the surface plasmon （SP） resonance on the surface of plate and localized SP in the hole play a major role for the two absorptions.

Focusing performance of small f-number metallic lens with depth-modulated slits

This paper studies a small f-number metallic lens with depth-modulated slits.Slits filled with dielectric between silver plates are designed to produce desired optical phase retardations based on the particular propagation properties of surface plasmon polaritons in nanostructures.Numerical simulation of this structure is performed through the finitedifference time-domain method.Different from the conventional dielectric lens,the metallic lens can be used as a pure phase element without energy loss brought by the light refraction at curved surfaces and total internal reflection.The focusing performance is consequently improved,with larger diffraction efficiency than that of the same shaped dielectric lens.     

Nonclassical Properties of Superposition of Two Coherent States Shifted in Phase by 3π/2

We consider the quantum superposition of two coherent states shifted in phase by 3π/2 ｜α〉 and ｜ -iα〉, as well as special states that are characterized solely with respect to amplitude α. According to analysis of nonclassical properties such as oscillatory and sub-Poissonian distribution of photon numbers, photon antibunching, quadrature squeezing, and negativity of Wigner function, it is concluded that the considered superposition state is a nonclassical state. Also, the special state is found to exhibit even stronger nonclassical features when relative phase φ of the superposition is equal to the average photon number ｜α｜^2.     

Excitation of anti-symmetric coupled spoof SPPs in 3D SIS waveguides based on coupling

According to the electromagnetic field distributions, there exist two kinds of coupled spoof surface plasmon polaritons(SSPPs), the symmetric and anti-symmetric modes, in the three-dimensional(3D) subwavelength spoof–insulator–spoof(SIS) waveguide. We study the dispersion and excitation of the two kinds of coupled SSPPs supported by the 3D SIS waveguide. The evolution of the dispersion with the thickness and gap width of the waveguide is numerically investigated,and we give a theoretical analysis according to the coupling mechanism. Specially, based on the coupling mechanism,we design a zipper structure, through which the excitation and propagation of the anti-symmetric coupled modes can be realized effectively.     

Generalization and propagation of spiraling Bessel beams with a helical axicon

A generalized type of spiral Bessel beam has been demonstrated by using a spatially displaced helical axicon (HA).The topological charge of the spiraling Bessel beams is determined by the order of the input Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beam and the topological charge of the HA.The obtained spiraling Bessel beams have an LG type of modulation along their propagation direction and exhibit annihilation-reconstruction properties.Theoretical analysis is presented,including that of the stability,propagation distance,topological charge,and spiraling dynamic characteristics.The mathematical and numerical results show that the propagation distance and helical revolution of the spiraling Bessel beams can be controlled through choosing appropriate radius of the HA.     

纠正两个错误认识

错误之一:磁通量跟线圈的匝数成正比. 这是一个较为流行的误解.有这样一道题目:如图1所示,一匝线圈的面积为S,垂直于磁场方向放置,磁场是磁感强度为B的匀强磁场,求穿过线圈的磁通量Φ1是多少.若把线圈换成N匝线圈,面积和放置方式都不变,再求穿过整个线圈的磁通量Φ2是多少.

The Wigner function and phase properties of superposition of two coherent states with the vacuum state

This paper discusses some statistical properties of the superposition of two coherent states with a vacuum state, such as sub-Poissonian photon statistics and negativity of the Wigner function. Phase probability distribution and phase variance are calculated. Special cases of the constructed superposition states are presented. The results show that depending on the vacuum state coefficient γ and the coherent state coefficient α, it can generate a variety of nonclassical states.
