Laser output of radial-slab solid-state laser

In this letter, numerical simulation and experimental study of a radial-slab solid-state laser are presented. The laser includes four crossing-slabs pumped by four Xe flashlamps. The numerical simulation of coherent intensity in the near field and the far field indicates that the laser with the structure can improve the quality of output beam compared with incoherent beam combination. The radial-slab solid-state laser is fabricated, and initial experiments are carried out at a pulse repetition of 1 Hz. Nine beams in the near field and one combined beam in the far field are obtained in our initial experiment. The experimental results are consistent with the numerical analysis in the coherent condition. The results show that coherent beam combination is obtained by this laser.     

Improving nonlinearity tolerance of 112-Gb/s PDM OFDM systems with coherent detection using BLAST algorithm

A novel long wavelength photodetector with dual-wavelength spectral response is designed and fabricated using a step-shaped Fabry-Prot (F-P) filter structure.The step-shaped GaAs/AlGaAs distributed Bragg reflectors and the InP PIN photodetector are grown on a GaAs substrate using low pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition.High quality GaAs/InP heteroepitaxy is realized by employing a thin low temperature buffer layer.The photodetector structure is optimized by theoretical simulation.This device has a dual-peak distance of 19 nm (1 558 and 1 577 nm).The 3-dB bandwidth of 16 GHz is simultaneously obtained with peak quantum efficiencies of 8.5% and 8.6% around 1 558 and 1 577 nm,respectively.     

Coherent Beam Combination of Eight Watt-Level Polarization-Maintained Fiber Amplifiers

We demonstrate the coherent beam combination of eight Watt-level polarization-maintained fiber amplifiers. The phase control signal of each amplifier is generated by running a stochastic parallel gradient descent algorithm on a digital signal processor （DSP）. The experimental result shows that the whole system in close-loop performs well for long-time observation. Energy encircled in the target pinhole is 6.68 times more than that in open-loop. The combination efficiency is as high as 84.5%.     

Coherent Vibrational Dynamics and High-resolution Nonlinear Spectroscopy： A Comparison with the Air/DMSO Liquid Interface

We present a comparative study on the C-H stretching vibrations at air/DMSO （dimethyl sulfoxide） interface with both the free-induction decay （FID） coherent vibrational dynamics and the sub-wavenumber high resolution sum-frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy measurements. In principle the frequency-domain and time-domain spectroscopic measurements should generate identical information for a given molecular system. However, when the molecular systems are with several coupled or overlapping vibrational modes, obtain- ing detailed spectroscopic and coherent dynamics information is not as straightforward and rather difficult from either the time-domain or the frequency domain measurements. For the case of air/DMSO interface that is with moderately complex vibrational spectra, we show that the frequency-domain measurement with sub-wavenumber high-resolution sum-frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy is probably more advantageous than the time- domain measurement in obtaining quantitative understanding of the structure and coherent dynamics of the molecular interface.

运用全量子理论并结合数值计算方法,研究了处于Bell态的两个全同二能级纠缠原子与双模纠缠相干光场相互作用系统的光子统计性质.分析了双原子体系的初态、光场的平均光子数、双模纠缠相干光场的纠缠程度以及双原子体系的原子间耦合强度对双模光场的光子统计性质的影响.结果表明：双原子体系的初态为｜β00〉、｜β10〉时,光场在其演化过程中不出现光子的反聚束效应;而当原子初态为｜β01〉或｜β11〉时,在一定的条件下可出现光子的反聚束效应.并且在光场的演化过程中,光子的反聚束效应出现的次数、时间和深度极其敏感地依赖于初始光场的平均光子数,而受到双模纠缠光场的纠缠程度以及双原子间偶极作用强度的影响很微弱.

耦合暗孤子在自散焦介质中的传输特性

空间光孤子是介质衍射效应和非线性效应相平衡的结果。当两束非相干光在非线性介质中传输时,两孤子发生交叠而产生相互作用,本文研究自散焦介质中非相干耦合暗孤子对的传输特性和相互作用。基于描述光束传播的耦合非线性薛定谔方程组,利用变分法,首先得到了自散焦克尔介质中传输的两暗孤子的幅值、横向中心位置坐标、速度和相位随传输距离变化的参数演化方程组,讨论了孤子参数演化的规律。然后,为分析孤子间相互作用,导出了两幅值相等的暗孤子在传输过程中孤子间距随传输距离的变化规律,作出了孤子对传输图像和相互作用图像,最后导出了孤子间相互作用势能和相互作用力的表达式,并利用图像详细分析了孤子间的相互作用特性。研究结果表明:无损耗情况下,孤子的幅值不受耦合作用的影响,传输过程中保持不变;耦合相互作用使两孤子横向中心位置坐标发生明显漂移,当两孤子间距较小时,孤子间距随传输距离作变速变化,变化速率与孤子的幅值和耦合程度有关,当两孤子间距趋近于零时,孤子间距随传输距离呈匀速的稳定变化;暗孤子间的相互作用力为排斥力,随着孤子间距增大,排斥力先增大后减小,而相互作用势能一直逐渐减小,当孤子间距增至4.5附近时,孤子间势能减小到几乎为零。
