Resonance frequencies and threshold gains of distributed feedback lasers with strong modulations

In this paper the calculation of resonance frequencies and threshold gains of distributed feedback (DFB) lasers with strong modulations is discussed. The theory is based on the Floquet solutions of a complex Hill differential equation. The dispersion relation of the above solutions is shown to be of importance for the behaviour of the resonances of the DFB laser.     

Relation of coordination number to memory and threshold switching in chalcogenides

The paper reports a structural study of some memory and threshold chalcogenides in terms of coordination numberC, defined byC=8−N, and is the average coordination number for covalently bonded materials. The average number of nearest neighbours surrounding a central atom, obtained for As-Ge-Te (memory) and Se-Ge-Te (threshold) systems have been used to estimate the cohesive energies, assuming simple additivity of bond energies. The bonding pattern so obtained, explains certain properties of these glasses.

On comparison of jump point detection for an exchange rate series

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the detection of jump points of a discontinuous function in the presence of a noise by the wavelet approach. A computing algorithm of our method is proposed and then applied to the daily exchange rate of US Dollar against Deutsche Mark. All the points detected by our method reflect very strong economic and political impacts. Other statistical methods to detect jump points have also been applied to the same exchange rate data. Our proposed method has produced more convincing empirical results than others.     

Tail Behavior of a Threshold Autoregressive Stochastic Volatility Model

We consider a threshold autoregressive stochastic volatility model where the driving noises are sequences of iid regularly random variables. We prove that both the right and the left tails of the marginal distribution of the log-volatility process (α_t)_t are regularly varying with tail exponent −α with α > 0. We also determine the exact values of the coefficients in the tail behaviour of the process (α_t)_t. AMS 2000 Subject Classification. Primary—62G32, 62PO5     

Isotropic Evolution of a JBD Anisotropic Bianchi Universe

I study the dynamical effects due to the Brans-Dicke scalar -field at the early stages of a supposedly anisotropic Universe expansion in the scalar-tensor cosmology of Jordan-Brans-Dicke. This is done considering the behaviour of the general solutions for the homogeneous model of Bianchi type VII in the vacuum case. I conclude that the Bianchi-VII₀ model shows an isotropic expansion and that its only physical solution is equivalent to a Friedman-Robertson-Walker spacetime whose evolution can, depending on the value of the JBD coupling constant, begin in a singularity and, after expanding (inflating, if > 0), shrink to another, or starting in a non-singular state, collapse to a singularity. I also conclude that the general Bianchi-VII _h (with h 0) models show strong curvature singularities producing a complete collapse of the homogeneity surfaces to 2D-manifolds, to 1D-manifolds or to single points. Our analysis depends crucially on the introduction of the so-called intrinsic time, , as the product of the JBD scalar field times a mean scale factor a ³ = a ₁ a ₂ a ₃, in which the finite-cosmological-time evolution of this universe unfolds into an infinite -range. These universes isotropize from an anisotropic initial state, thence I conclude that they are stable against anisotropic perturbations.     

多层介质膜脉冲宽度压缩光栅与超短脉冲作用时的性能分析

液芯光纤中溶液吸收和荧光的性质对CS2受激拉曼散射阈值的影响

利用液芯光纤技术研究了不同浓度的β-Carotene的CS₂溶液的吸收与荧光的特性对CS₂的一、二阶Stokes谱线阈值的影响.实验发现随溶液浓度(10^-8—10^-6 mol/L)增加，CS₂的一阶Stokes谱线的激发阈值相对变高；并且与纯CS₂芯液的受激拉曼散射相比较，在低抽运能量激发下，就观察到CS₂的二阶Stokes谱线.这主要是由于在CS₂的受激拉曼谱线产生的过程中，β-Carotene的CS₂溶液的吸收和荧光共同影响了CS₂的一、二阶Stokes谱线的阈值.我们进行了理论上的拟合与分析，其结果与实验符合很好. 关键词： 2受激拉曼散射阈值')" href="#">CS₂受激拉曼散射阈值 液芯光纤 吸收与荧光     

Trends in microdisk laser research and linear optical modelling

Research into microdisk lasers demonstrates new achievements both in the technology and in the associated physical effects and applications. Melting and rounding of the disk edge boosts the Q-factors due to improved surface smoothness. In-plane cavity shape is widely used as a design instrument. Optimal shaping of pumped area lowers the threshold power. Photonic molecules made of several microdisks as “photonic atoms” show lasing at several closely spaced frequencies. A microdisk with a single quantum dot as an active region is considered as the most promising system for realisation of a single photon emitter necessary for quantum computing. These new effects and devices can be simulated with accurate numerical techniques, developed recently for “warm-cavity” linear modelling, that are able to bring a new vision of the physics of lasing.
