Quantum dynamic behaviour in a coupled cavities system

The dynamic behaviour of the two-site coupled cavities model which is doped with ta wo-level system is investigated.The exact dynamic solutions in the general condition are obtained via Laplace transform.The simple analytical solutions are obtained in several particular cases,which demonstrate the clear and simple physical picture for the quantum state transition of the system.In the large detuning or hoppling case,the quantum states transferring between qubits follow a slow periodic oscillation induced by the very weak excitation of the cavity mode.In the large coupling case,the system can be interpreted as two Jaynes-Cummings model subsystems which interact through photon hop between the two cavities.In the case of λ≈△>> g,the quantum states transition of qubits is accompanied by the excitation of the cavity,and the cavity modes have the same dynamic behaviours and the amplitude of probability is equal to 0.25 which does not change with the variation of parameter.     

Tunable two-axis spin model and spin squeezing in two cavities

Multi-mode cavities have now attracted much attention both experimentally and theoretically. In this paper, inspired by recent experiments of cavity-assisted Raman transitions, we realize a two-axis spin Hamiltonian H = q(J_x~2+ χJ_y~2) + ω_0J_z in two cavities. This realized Hamiltonian has a distinct property that all parameters can be tuned independently. For proper parameters, the well-studied one- and two-axis twisting Hamiltonians are recovered, and the scaling of N~(-1) of the maximal squeezing factor can occur naturally. On the other hand, in the two-axis twisting Hamiltonian, spin squeezing is usually reduced when increasing the atomic resonant frequency ω_0. Surprisingly, we find that by combining with the dimensionless parameter χ(-1), this atomic resonant frequency ω_0 can enhance spin squeezing greatly. These results are beneficial for achieving the required spin squeezing in experiments.     

Selective thermal emission from a patterned metalized plastic

A high-throughput hot-embossing and metal-deposition fabrication process based on compact-disc manufacturing has been employed to produce Coupled Resonant Cavity (CRC) structures for directionally and spectrally selective thermal emission at infrared wavelengths. The CRC structures were fabricated by hot embossing poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) substrates, over which a layer of aluminum (Al) was deposited to support surface plasmons. The thermal emission behavior of the structures was predicted by Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis (RCWA) of deposited metal profiles determined by the Blech model. It is shown that CRC structures which are initially under-imprinted may be brought to a resonant condition by increasing the metal deposition thickness, which is desirable for improving the thermal and mechanical properties of the structures. The primary source of deviation between the modeled and measured results was associated with surface curvature induced in the substrates during the fabrication process.     

Thick junction broadband organic photodiodes

Inorganic semiconductor‐based broadband photodetectors are ubiquitous in imaging technologies such as digital cameras and photometers. Herein a broadband organic photodiode (OPD) that has performance metrics comparable or superior to inorganic photodiodes over the same spectral range is reported. The photodiode with an active layer comprised of a poly[N‐9′‐heptadecanyl‐2,7‐carbazole‐alt‐5,5‐(4′,7′‐di‐2‐thienyl‐2′,1′,3′‐benzothiadiazole)]:[6,6]‐phenyl‐C₇₁‐butyric acid methyl ester bulk heterojunction blend had a dark current < 1 nA/cm², specific detectivity of ∼10¹³ Jones, reverse bias −3 dB frequency response of 100 kHz to 1 MHz, and state‐of‐the‐art Linear Dynamic Range for organic photodiodes of nine orders of magnitude (180 dB). The key to these performance metrics was the use of a thick junction (700 nm), which flattened the spectral response, reduced the dark current and decreased performance variations. The strategy also provides a route to large area defect free “monolithic” structures for low noise integrated photo‐sensing, position determination, or contact, non‐focal imaging.

为了减小器件尺寸、实现超快速响应和动态可调谐,研究了基于石墨烯纳米条波导边耦合矩形腔的单波段和双波段的等离子体诱导透明(PIT)效应,通过耦合模式理论和时域有限差分法从数值计算和模拟仿真两方面分析了模型的慢光特性.通过调节石墨烯矩形腔的化学势,同时实现了单波段、双波段PIT模型的谐振波长和透射峰值的可调谐性.当石墨烯的化学势增加时,各个波段PIT窗口的谐振波长逐渐减小,发生蓝移.此外,通过动态调谐石墨烯矩形腔的谐振波长,当石墨烯矩形腔的化学势为0.41—0.44 eV时,单PIT系统的群折射率控制在79.2—28.3之间,可调谐带宽为477 nm;当石墨烯矩形腔1, 2, 3的化学势分别为0.39—0.42 eV, 0.40—0.43 eV, 0.41—0.44 eV时,双PIT系统的群折射率控制在143.2—108.6之间.并且,整个系统的尺寸小于0.5μm~2.研究结果对于超快速、超紧凑型和动态可调谐的光传感、光滤波、慢光和光存储器件的设计和制作具有一定的参考意义.     

High-speed visualization and PIV measurements of cavitating flows around a semi-circular leading-edge flat plate and NACA0015 hydrofoil

Cavitating flows around a flat plate with semi-circular leading edge and a NACA0015 hydrofoil at attack angles ranging from 0° to 9° and with varying cavitation number are investigated using high-speed-imaging visualization (HIV) and particle-imaging velocimetry (PIV). Several known types of cavitation common to both foils, but also some different patterns, were observed. At small angles of incidence (less than 3°), cavitation on the plate begins in the form of a streak array (bubble-band) whereas on the hydrofoil as traveling bubbles. For the regimes with developed cavitation on the NACA0015 hydrofoil, the scattered and discontinuous bubble streaks branch and grow but subsequently merge into bubble clouds forming a remarkably regular lattice pattern. Once the incidence angle increased to 9°, the cavitation on the hydrofoil changed to a streaky pattern like that on the plate at small attack angles, whereas the regime on the plate showed no significant changes. The PIV method proved to be usable for measuring the instantaneous velocity also in the gas–vapor phase, albeit with reduced accuracy that was evaluated and accounted for on the basis of the effective (validation-surviving) number of imaging samples. The time-averaged velocity and turbulence moments show that the incipience of cavitation is governed by the development of the carrier-fluid flow around the foil leading edges, but the subsequent flow pattern depends strongly on the cavitation regime displaying markedly different distributions compared to the non-cavitating case. The main cavitation parameters: the maximum cavity length, the cloud cavity streamwise dimensions and the cloud shedding Strouhal number are analyzed and presented in function of the cavitation number and the attack angle in different scaling. The measurements confirm qualitatively the trends reported in the literature, but show also some quantitative differences, notably between the two foils considered.     

金纳米颗粒的紫外、蓝紫光波段光致荧光特性

采用电化学方法制备出粒径在20～30 nm的悬浮胶体金纳米颗粒。研究了金纳米颗粒的荧光发射光谱特性。在377和459 nm观察到两个荧光发射峰,分别位于紫外和蓝紫光波段,对应的敏感激发波长为220 nm。减小激发光强度或降低金纳米颗粒的粒子数密度都会使377 nm处的荧光发射峰强度减弱。位于459 nm处的荧光发射峰对激发光强度和颗粒数密度变化更为敏感,并且在激发光强度降低到一定阈值或粒子数密度高于一定阈值后消失。随着激发光强度的增加,位于377和459 nm处的两发射峰强度逐渐靠近,其比值逼近于1。实验结果与随机分布介质的自组织散射式谐振腔理论符合得较好。这表明胶体金纳米颗粒中存在循环多重散射,并由此引发了蓝光及紫外波段的荧光增强,这在光存储和全色显示等方面具有潜在的应用前景。     

Continuously tunable, split-cavity gyrotrons

The cavity of the University of Sydney gyrotron, GYROTRON IIIB, is split in two longitudinally to allow and frequency that lies between the fixed cavity resonances to be accessed by mechanically changing the separation of the two halves. The rate of change in resonant frequency with separation is greatest if the minor axis of the cavity cross-section is the one undergoing change. Results obtained with the latest cavity demonstrate this and show excellent agreement with theory.     

Synthesis of a new class of electron rich chiral cyclophanes with large cavities

BINOL based electron rich chiral cyclophanes possessing large cavities have been synthesized starting from m-terphenyl dibromide and methyl m-/p-cinnamate. The presence of double bonds in the chiral cyclophanes makes them electron rich as revealed by C-T complexation studies of such cyclophanes donors with guests like TCNE, TCNQ and DDQ.
