LD side-pumped Nd:GGG CW laser operating at 1110 and 1105 nm dual wavelengths and 1110 nm single wavelength

A diode-side-pumped continuous-wave Nd:GGG laser operating at dual-wavelength (1110 and 1105 nm) and single wavelength of 1110 nm is demonstrated for the first time. The maximum output power of the 1110 and 1105 nm dual-wavelength operation is 13.2 W. By adjusting the orientation of an insertion mirror, the relative intensities of the two wavelengths can be changed. Thus single wavelength operation at 1110 nm is obtained, and the output power is 9.6 W.     

First-principles investigation of chemical modification on two-dimensional iron–phthalocyanine sheet

Successful synthesis of single iron–phthalocyanie(FePc) framework layer on substrate and its transferrable properties open the door for decorating the separately distributed transition metals for exploring the diverse properties. We have studied the effects of chemical modification on two-dimensional FePc organometallic framework with density functional theory. For simplicity, the non-metal atoms with variant valence electrons are used as prototypes to estimate the effects from chemical modifications with different functional groups. The thermo-stabilities of the non-metal atom decorated complex sheet materials have been estimated by the first-principles constant energy molecular dynamic simulations. Upon the nonmetal atom adsorption, the magnetic moment could be changed from 2 μBto 0, 1, 2, and 3 μBper unit cell for the case of tetra-, penta-, hexa-, and hepta-valent non-metal modifications, respectively, showing interesting promise to tailor its magnetic properties for potential applications.     

Linear analysis of degree correlations in complex networks

Many real-world networks such as the protein–protein interaction networks and metabolic networks often display nontrivial correlations between degrees of vertices connected by edges. Here, we analyse the statistical methods used usually to describe the degree correlation in the networks, and analytically give linear relation in the degree correlation. It provides a simple and interesting perspective on the analysis of the degree correlation in networks, which is usefully complementary to the existing methods for degree correlation in networks. Especially, the slope in the linear relation corresponds exactly to the degree correlation coefficient in networks, meaning that it can not only characterize the level of degree correlation in networks, but also reflects the speed that the average nearest neighbours’ degree varies with the vertex degree. Finally, we applied our results to several real-world networks, validating the conclusions of the linear analysis of degree correlation. We hope that the work in this paper can be helpful for further understanding the degree correlation in complex networks.     

Study on improving output capability of high-power lasers providing short pulses by using different laser glasses together in the amplifier chain

We have discussed the optical and laser properties of different laser glass types. According to the properties of the gain and the B integral in the high-power laser amplifier chain, an optimal configuration is pointed out to improve the output capability at short pulses based on reducing nonlinear refractive index n₂. In this way, high gain glasses and low n₂ glasses are used in different amplifier stages simultaneously. The simulated results show that on the condition that the maximal output energies of both the configurations are same at 3 and 5 ns, the maximal output capability growth ratio of 30.48% () and 42.24% () for the optimal configuration can be obtained at 1 ns, respectively.

The dynamical properties of Rydberg hydrogen atom near a metal surface

The dynamical properties of Rydberg hydrogen atom near a metal surface are presented by using the methods of phase space analysis and closed orbit theory. Transforming the coordinates of the Hamiltonian, we find that the phase space of the system is divided into vibrational and rotational region. Both the Poincaré surface of section and the closed orbit theory verify the same conclusion clearly. In this paper we choose the atomic principal quantum number asn=20. The dynamical character of the exited hydrogen atom depends sensitively on the atom-surface distanced. Whend is sufficiently large, the atom-surface potential can be expressed by the traditional van der Waals force and the system is integrable. Whend becomes smaller, there exists a critical valued _c. Ford>d _c, the system is near-integrable and the motion is regular. While chaotic motion appears ford<d _c, and the system tends to be non-integrable. The trajectories become unstable and the electron might be captured onto the metal surface.     

Alloy composition effects on the gain and the differential gain for CdZnTe based II–VI semiconductor lasers

We study the variation of the gain and the differential gain for a quantum well laser based on the CdZnTe alloys. We calculate theoretically the optical gain of CdZnTe based quantum well laser, as function of the alloys composition for various values of carrier’s densities. Our study is based on the parabolic model with the intraband relaxation taken into account. Finally, we investigate how the composition alloys affects the differential gain of quantum well lasers.     

Measurements of the optical absorption coefficient of Ar8+ ion implanted silicon layers using the photothermal radiometry and the modulated free carrier absorption methods

This paper presents a method of the measurement of the optical absorption coefficient of the Ar⁸⁺ ions implanted layers in the p-type silicon substrate. The absorption coefficient is calculated using a value of the attenuation of amplitudes of a photothermal radiometry (PTR) and/or a modulation free carrier absorption (MFCA) signals and the implanted layer thickness calculated by means of the TRIM program. The proposed method can be used to indicate the amorphization of the ions implanted layers.
