Breathers and Rogue Waves Derived from an Extended Multi-dimensional N-Coupled Higher-Order Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation in Optical Communication Systems

In this paper, an extended multi-dimensional N-coupled higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NCHNLSE), which can describe the propagation of the ultrashort pulses in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems, is investigated. By the bilinear method, we construct the breather solutions for the extended (1+1), (2+1) and (3+1)-dimensional N-CHNLSE. The rogue waves are derived as a limiting form of breathers with the aid of symbolic computation. The effect of group velocity dispersion (GVD), third-order dispersion (TOD) and nonlinearity on breathers and rogue waves solutions are discussed in the optical communication systems.     

Green,blue, red,near-infrared up-conversion luminescence of Yb<Superscript>3+</Superscript>/Er<Superscript>3+</Superscript>/Tm<Superscript>3+</Superscript> co-doped YVO<Subscript>4</Subscript> nanoparticles

YVO₄:Yb³⁺,Er³⁺; YVO₄:Yb³⁺,Tm³⁺; and YVO₄:Yb³⁺,Er³⁺,Tm³⁺ were all synthesized via sol-gel method with a subsequent thermal treatment. Specifically, YVO₄:Yb³⁺,Er³⁺,Tm³⁺ phosphors were prepared with different annealing temperatures to study the influence of temperature. The transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and photoluminescent (PL) spectrofluorometer were used to investigate the morphology, crystal structure, and up-conversion luminescent properties of all samples. In summary, all samples were granular-like nanoparticles and well crystallized with the same tetragonal phase as YVO₄. Under the irradiation at 980 nm, YVO₄:Yb³⁺,Er³⁺ phosphors can generate green emission at 525 and 553 nm and red emission at 657 nm, while YVO₄:Yb³⁺,Tm³⁺ phosphors can generate blue emission at 476 nm, red emission at 648 nm, and near-infrared emission at 800 nm. Notably, YVO₄:Yb³⁺,Er³⁺,Tm³⁺ samples can exhibit green emission, blue emission, red emission, and near-infrared emission at the same time, which might endow the as-prepared samples with potential applications in many fields, such as luminous paint, infrared detection, and biological label.     

The study on microstructure and microwave-absorbing properties of lithium zinc ferrites doped with magnesium and copper

Lithium zinc ferrites doped with magnesium and copper were prepared by means of a combination of sol-gel method and subsequent calcination. The crystalline phase and microstructure of different doped lithium zinc ferrites were measured by X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electronic microscopy analysis. The results indicate that there are no remarkable differences in phase composition between pure lithium zinc ferrite and the as-doped lithium zinc ferrites. The effects of magnesium and copper dopants on microwave absorption in low-frequency region were investigated by the transmission/reflection coaxial line method. It was found from the present work that doping with copper improved microwave-absorbing properties, while doping with magnesium had little effect on microwave absorption of pure lithium zinc ferrite.     

Optimization of the pulse energy of GaAs saturable absorber Q-switched lasers

By taking into account the single-photon absorption (SPA) and two-photon absorption (TPA) processes of GaAs, the Gaussian spatial distributions of the intracavity photon density and the initial population-inversion density, and the pumping and the spontaneous emission during the pulse formation, the new normalized rate equations of a GaAs saturable absorber Q-switched laser are solved. The key parameters of an optimally coupled GaAs saturable absorber Q-switched laser are determined, including the optimal normalized coupling parameter and the optimal normalized GaAs saturable absorber parameters, which can maximize the pulse energy, and a group of general curves are generated for the first time, which clearly show the dependence of the optimal key parameters on the parameters of the gain medium, the GaAs saturable absorber, and the resonator. In addition, the influence including the space variation, the pumping and the spontaneous emission is also shown. Sample calculations for a diode-pumped Nd³⁺:YVO₄ laser with a GaAs saturable absorber are presented to demonstrate the use of the curves and the relevant formulas.     

Ammonia-free method for synthesis of CdS nanocrystalline thin films through chemical bath deposition technique

The preparation of thin films of CdS by chemical bath deposition is mostly based on the utilisation of ammonia as a complexing agent for cadmium ions. Here we report on a technique based on sodium citrate dihydrate that eliminates the problems of ammonia volatility and toxicity. The crystallites with a size range of 10–20 nm in diameter with zinc blend (cubic) and wurtzite (hexagonal) crystal structures and strong photoluminescence were prepared from the mixture solutions of: cadmium chloride dihydrate as a cadmium source, thiourea as a sulfur source and sodium citrate dihydrate as a complexing agent for cadmium ions. The well-cleaned glass used as a substrate for thin film deposition. The obtained samples were characterized by the techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscope (AFM) and fluorescence spectroscopy. Also, the effect of two operating conditions, (i) pH, and (ii) the temperature of reaction on the synthesizing of CdS nanocrystals was examined. Finally, it was found that the CdS nanocrystals showed sharp excitation features and strong ”band-edge” emission.     

Effective Hamiltonian for a liquid–gas interface fluctuating around a corrugated cylindrical substrate in the presence of van der Waals interactions

We investigate liquid layers adsorbed at spherical and corrugated cylindrical substrates. The effective Hamiltonians for the liquid–gas interfaces fluctuating in the presence of such curved substrates are derived via the mean-field density functional theory. Their structure is compared with the Helfrich Hamiltonian which is parametrized by the bending and Gaussian rigidity coefficients. For long-ranged interparticle interactions of van der Waals type these coefficients turn out to be non-universal functions of interfacial curvatures; their form varies from one interface to another. We discuss the implications of the structure of these functions on the effective Hamiltonian.     

Bamboo-shaped carbon tubes from coal

Bamboo-shaped carbon tubes (BCTs) were first synthesized in high yields from iron-loaded carbon electrodes prepared from coal by arc discharge. The BCTs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The TEM characterization reveals that the tubes have bamboo-like structures consisting of hollow compartments separated with conical shaped graphite layers. The diameters of BCTs are in the range of 40–60 nm with their length being about several micrometers. For some BCTs, the hollow compartments are quite uniform with a size of 100 nm. A growth model is suggested to explain the formation of bamboo structure in tubes.
