Analysis of parametric oscillatory instability in Fabry-Perot cavity with Gauss and Laguerre-Gauss main mode profile

We calculate the parametric instabilities in Fabry-Perot cavities of advanced VIRGO and LIGO interferometers with different main mode profiles. All unstable combinations of elastic and Stokes modes both for the case with TEM₀₀ and LG₃₃ as a carriers are deduced.     

A bi‐prism interferometer for hard X‐ray photons

Micro‐fabricated bi‐prisms have been used to create an interference pattern from an incident hard X‐ray beam, and the intensity of the pattern probed with fluorescence from a 30 nm‐thick metal film. Maximum fringe visibility exceeded 0.9 owing to the nano‐sized probe and the choice of single‐crystal prism material. A full near‐field analysis is necessary to describe the fringe field intensities, and the transverse coherence lengths were extracted at APS beamline 8‐ID‐I. It is also shown that the maximum number of fringes is dependent only on the complex refractive index of the prism material.     

Measurement of Refractive Index of GaP Crystal over a Large Temperature Range Using Interferometry

The refractive index of GaP single crystal was measured through room temperature (300K) to 1200K at a wavelength of 780 nm by using an interferometry with a laser diode. To get a more accurate result, the thermal expansion coefficient of GaP crystal, which would be one parameter for the measurement of the refractive index, was measured by a diratometer equipped with laser interferometry against temperature in the range from room temperature to 973K. It was confirmed that the linear thermal expansion coefficient was a function of temperature. In this report, an empirical function was obtained to calculate the refractive index at any temperature for GaP crystal. The result shows that the refractive index of GaP varies from 3.1907 to 3.3354 in the temperature range from 300K to 1200K at the wavelength of 780nm.

New large-aperture and high- accuracy lateral shearing interferometer

The principle of a new large-aperture high-accuracy interferometer for flow visualization is presented. The interferometer uses a Twyman-Green interferometer as a beam-splitter, a grating as a detector, and a real-time moiré fringe method to eliminate systematic errors. The interferometer has been used to measure the flow fields in a shock tunnel and obtained satisfactory results.     

Multilevel atomic Ramsey interferometry for precise parameter estimations

Multi-path (or multi-mode) entanglement has been proved to be a useful resource for sub-shot-noise sensitivity of phase estimation, which has aroused much research interest in quantum metrology recently. Various schemes of multi-path interferometers based on optical systems have been put forward. Here, we study a multi-state interferometer with multi-level atoms by projective measurements. Specifically, we investigate its ultimate sensitivity described by quantum Fisher information theory and find that the Cramer-Rao bound can be achieved. In particular, we investigate a specific scheme to improve the sensitivity of magnetometery with a three-state interferometry delivered by a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center of diamond with tailor pulses. The impacts of imperfections of the atomic beam-splitter, described by the three-level quantum Fourier transform, on the sensitivity of phase estimation is also discussed.     

基于银纳米链的马赫-曾德干涉仪结构的生物传感器

优化了一种基于表面等离激元银纳米链的马赫-曾德干涉式传感结构.该结构由参考臂、传感臂及纳米线波导构成.纳米线波导由银纳米线包裹一定厚度的硅来构成.引入两条银纳米链分别作为马赫-曾德干涉仪的参考臂和传感臂,并研究所设计结构的传输特性,通过降低传输损耗以提高所设计结构的精确度与灵敏度.相比于两条完全相同的银纳米线作为参考臂和传感臂的情况,在参考臂和传感臂改为银纳米链后,传输特性有明显提高,单位长度损耗明显降低.这是由于银纳米链中的单元结构之间的长程/库仑相互作用增强了结构中的电磁场,进而降低了传输损耗.将两条银纳米链的晶格常数设置为不同的情况,研究发现,在特定的银包硅纳米线的宽度与某些占空比下,含有非对称的银纳米链结构的单位传输损耗小于含有对称的银纳米链结构.由此可以知道,具有小损耗的银纳米颗粒链可以弥补大损耗的银纳米颗粒链的传输损失.利用这个特点,进一步优化设计结构,将一侧银纳米链改为纳米线.改变另一侧银纳米链的晶格常数与占空比,可以发现大多数情况下,这类结构传输特性优于含有两条银纳米链以及含有两条银纳米线的结构.本文的设计结构可以大幅减小传统的马赫-曾德干涉仪的传输损耗,且在结构的制备...
