Flat-top interleavers with chromatic dispersion compensator based on phase dispersive free space Mach-Zehnder interferometer

In this paper, novel interleavers using circular cavities (CC) in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) has been presented and demonstrated for the first time, in which CCs act as phase dispersive mirrors which exhibit a periodic dependence on the frequency of light. Three implementation schemes have been proposed and investigated. Theoretical analysis shows the spectral characteristics of each scheme in a 50-GHz channel spacing application. Furthermore, the chromatic dispersion (CD) of each output comb can be flattened within passband by appending an additional CC. The result shows that the proposed designs with novel interferometer technique can simultaneously provide flat top passbands, high isolation stopband and low CD value as well.     

Optimal conclusive teleportation of a d-dimensional two-particle unknown quantum state

A conclusive teleportation protocol of a d-dimensional two-particle unknown quantum state using three d- dimensional particles in an arbitrary pure state is proposed. A sender teleports the unknown state conclusively to a receiver by using the positive operator valued measure（POVM） and introducing an ancillary qudit to perform the generalized Bell basis measurement, We calculate the optimal teleportation fidelity. We also discuss and analyse the reason why the information on the teleported state is lost in the course of the protocol,

A Fully Vectorial Effective Index Method for Accurate Dispersion Calculation of Photonic Crystal Fibres

A fully vectorial effective index method is developed for accurate dispersion calculation of photonic crystal fibres （PCFs）. In order to improve the accuracy of the model, different values for the effective core radius are used when PCFs have different fibre parameters. The accuracy of our approach is demonstrated by comparing our results with other numerical and experimental results reported in literature. It is found that the accuracy of the fully vectorial effective index method is improved and our results agree well with accurate numerical results obtained by other methods as well as the previously reported experimental data.

Cartan’s Second Main Theorem and Mason’s Theorem for Jackson Difference Operator

Let f : C → Pⁿ be a holomorphic curve of order zero. The authors establish a Jackson difference analogue of Cartan’s second main theorem for the Jackson q-Casorati determinant and introduce a truncated second main theorem of Jackson difference operator for holomorphic curves. In addition, a Jackson difference Mason’s theorem is proved by using a Jackson difference radical of a polynomial. Furthermore, they extend the Mason’s theorem for m + 1 polynomials. Some examples are constructed to show that their results are accurate.     

Event-triggered sliding mode control for switched genetic regulatory networks with persistent dwell time

This paper focus on the event-triggered sliding mode controller design for discrete-time switched genetic regulatory networks (GRNs) with persistent dwell time (PDT) switching. Firstly, the observation error dynamics of switched GRNs with PDT is constructed in the light of event-triggered sliding mode control (SMC) scheme. Next, sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the exponential stability of the augmented plant. Moreover, an event-triggered SMC law is synthesized to impel the system trajectories onto the sliding surface in a finite time. Finally, a verification example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness and potential of the proposed method.     

Photochemically-induced crystallization of protein

I demonstrate photochemically induced crystallization of metastable hen egg-white lysozyme solution by weak UV irradiation for several tens seconds. The most effective irradiation time range is 10–60 s, and in this range the enzyme activity is maintained. Intermediates, neutral radicals at tryptophan residual produced by one-photon absorption, enhance nucleation. When the intermediate is selectively excited by visible light, the intermediate is denatured. At that time the light-induced nucleation is inhibited. This result indicates the intermediate induces nucleation. The radical forms lysozyme dimer that is detected by an SDS-PAGE electrophoresis experiment. An addition of polyethylene glycol (PEG) greatly enhances light-induced nucleation. PEG affects to shorten the intermediate radical lifetime, which suggests that PEG assists to form dimer. We consider that the photochemical dimer behaves as smallest cluster to grow critical nucleus. The smallest cluster formation is the rate determining step in classical nucleation theory due to surface energy disadvantage. The photochemical dimer is formed by a covalent bond, and the nucleation is initiated from stable dimer. The nucleation enhancement is reasonably explained. The present researches results point out the development of a new method for controlling nucleation and growth that could be applied for structural genomics and pharmaceutical industry for instance.     

Enhanced slow light propagation in photonic crystal waveguides using angular properties of scatter elements

Applicability of the angular properties of scatter elements as a tool to achieve improved slow light performance with small group velocity dispersion and large bandwidth in photonic crystal waveguides is investigated. A polyatomic photonic crystal waveguide, including two scatter elements with different geometrical shapes in each primitive cell, is proposed to investigate the feasibility of our method. Numerical results show that a versatile control of the dispersion relation of slow light modes, with large normalized delay-bandwidth products ranging from 0.2085 to 0.3394, can be obtained using a unique geometrical parameter.
