Highly Efficient Continuous-Wave Mid-Infrared Intracavity Singly Resonant Optical Parametric Oscillator Based on MgO:PPLN

We present a compact all-solid-state cw mid-infrared intracavity singly resonant optical parametric oscillator （OPO） that is based on a self-fabricated 1-mm-thick 40-mm-long doped MgO periodically poled lithium niobate （MgO：PPLN）. At a diode pump power of 15.6 W, the compact intracavity Nd：YVO4/MgO：PPLN OPO produced 1.9 W output power at 3.19μm, corresponding to conversion efficiency of 12.2% from the laser diode pump to OPO idler output.     

基于分数阶傅里叶变换的弹载SAR成像算法

针对弹载合成孔径雷达(SAR)回波信号的多普勒参数随斜距变化大及传统脉冲压缩成像算法分辨率低的问题,本文提出了一种基于分数阶傅里叶变换(FrFT)的弹载SAR成像算法.首先建立弹载SAR末制导阶段回波信号模型,然后通过局部最优处理来测量回波信号的调频率,并以此计算FrFT的最优阶次,在最优阶次下分别对回波信号进行距离向和方位向的FrFT,从而得到成像区域的SAR图像,最后分别采用传统脉冲压缩成像算法与本文基于FrFT的成像算法进行仿真和实测对比实验.实验结果表明,该算法能够对目标区域精确成像;由于在成像处理过程中,对每个距离向和方位向的回波信号进行独立的局部最优处理,因此该算法更适应于弹载SAR的非线性飞行轨迹,大大提高了弹载SAR的成像性能.该研究成果在目标探测与识别,精确制导等领域中具有重要的应用价值.     

Enhanced electron positron pair creation by the frequency chirped laser pulse

Based on the quantum Vlasov equation, the effect of frequency chirp on electron-positron pair production is investigated. The cycle parameter, which characterizes the laser field cycle degree within the pulse, is also considered. In both supercycle and subcycle laser pulses the frequency chirp can greatly enhance the momentum distribution function of created pairs and the pair number density. The pair number density created by a supercycle laser pulse is larger than that by a subcycle pulse under the same laser frequency and chirping. There exists an optimal cycle parameter corresponding to the maximum value of the created pair number density for different chirp rates. It is found that the pair number density is sensitive/insensitive to chirping rate when the cycle parameter lies below/above the optimal one.     

Coherent population transfer in Rydberg potassium atom by a single frequency-chirped laser pulse

By using the time-dependent multilevel approach, we have calculated the coherent population transfer among the quantum states of potassium atom by a single frequency-chirped laser pulse. The results show that the population can be efficiently transferred to a target state and be trapped there by using an `intuitive' or a `counter-intuitive' frequency sweep laser pulse in the case of `narrowband' frequency-chirped laser pulse. It is also found that a pair of sequential `broadband' frequency-chirped laser pulses can efficiently transfer population from one ground state of the \La atom to the other one.     

Generation of High-Repetition-Rate Pulse Trains through the Continuous-Wave Perturbed by a Weak Gaussian Pulse in an Optical Fiber

A new means of generating all-optically high-repetition-rate pulse trains is proposed and numerically demonstrated in an optical fiber. Our numerical simulations show that, due to the modulation instability effect, the initial continuous-wave with a weak optical pulse instead of conventional weak sinusoidal modulation imposed on it can gradually evolve into high-repetition-rate pulse trains. However, the generated pulse trains take on different features from the conventional case in terms of their widths, intensities, intervals, numbers, and pedestals.
