外腔长度对FBG-ECL输出特性的影响

根据光纤光栅外腔半导体激光器(FBG-ECL)的等效腔模型,讨论了外腔长度对FBG-ECL的调制特性、线宽以及强度噪声的影响.指出增大外腔长度可以使FBG-ECL具有很窄的线宽,非常适合应用在相干光通信系统中.同时发现,外腔长度的增大也将导致强度噪声、调制特性的恶化,外腔的选择对FBG-ECL应用在不同光通信系统中十分重要.

大口径光学元件波前调制PSD模拟分析

 使用PSD作为大口径光学元件表面加工质量的评价参数，针对不同的波前调制进行了初步的模拟计算，得到了不同调制频率和不同调制深度情况下的PSD曲线变化情况。当调制频率不同时，PSD曲线的突变部分会发生相应的频移，调制频率高则突变发生在空间频率较高的频段，同时PSD峰值不变。相对应调制深度不同时，PSD曲线的突变部份峰值发生变化，调制深度大则峰值大，与此同时峰值出现的位置不会发生变化。计算和分析结果表明PSD分析结果能够在频率域反应出元件表面受到的不同程度的调制信息。     

Thinking machines

We propose that a sufficiently advanced civilisation may employ Cepheid variable stars as beacons to transmit all-call information throughout the galaxy and beyond. They might employ a pulsed neutrino beam to trigger the expansion of a Cepheid at an earlier than normal time, generating a binary signature of normal period or artificially shortened period. One can construct many scenarios wherein it would be desirable for such a civilisation of star ticklers to transmit data to anyone else within viewing range. The beauty of employing Cepheids is that these stars can be seen from afar (we monitor them out through the Virgo cluster), and any developing technological society would seem to be likely to closely observe them as distance markers. Records exist of Cepheids for well over 100 years. We propose that these (and other regularly variable types of stars) be searched for signs of phase modulation (in the regime of short pulse duration) and patterns, which could be indicative of intentional signalling.     

Direct modulation and optical confinement factor modulation of semiconductor lasers

Abstract

A method for modulation of semiconductor lasers is demonstrated. The method is based on the modulation of the optical confinement factor. Using this method an enhanced—3-dB bandwidth is observed in agreement with the small signal rate equation analysis. A modulation response that drops at high frequencies slower than the conventional direct current modulation response is achieved. This supports the theoretical predictions, showing an intrinsic 1/f decay rate for the optical confinement factor modulation scheme versus an intrinsic 1/f² decay for direct modulation.     

A Novel Approach to All-Optical Generation of Ultra-Wideband Signals

Abstract

The generation of ultra-wideband signals in the optical domain is highly desirable for ultra-wideband-over-fiber systems, which has recently become a topic of interest. In this article, a novel and simple approach to achieve all-optical generation of ultra-wideband signals is proposed, which is based on delaying and superimposing optical Gaussian pulses with opposite polarities. The proposed system is capable of generating both ultra-wideband monocycle and doublet pulses, and the polarity of the generated ultra-wideband monocycle pulses can be fast-switched to implement pulse polarity modulation with the required bit pattern. A model to describe the proposed system is developed, and the generation of ultra-wideband signals is demonstrated with simulations and a proof-of-concept experiment.     

Defect Engineering in Ambipolar Layered Materials for Mode-Regulable Nociceptor

Defect engineering represents a significant approach for atomically thick 2D semiconductor material development to explore the unique material properties and functions. Doping-induced conversion of conductive polarity is particularly beneficial for optimizing the integration of layered electronics. Here, controllable doping behavior in palladium diselenide (PdSe₂) transistor is demonstrated by manipulating its adatom-vacancy groups. The underlying mechanisms, which originate from reversible adsorption/desorption of oxygen clusters near selenide vacancy defects, are investigated systematically via their dynamic charge transfer characteristics and scanning tunneling microscope analysis. The modulated doping effect allows the PdSe₂ transistor to emulate the essential characteristics of photo nociceptor on a device level, including firing signal threshold and sensitization. Interestingly, electrostatic gating, acting as a neuromodulator, can regulate the adaptive modes in nociceptor to improve its adaptability and perceptibility to handle different danger levels. An integrated artificial nociceptor array is also designed to execute unique image processing functions, which suggests a new perspective for extension of the promise of defect engineered 2D electronics in simplified sensory systems toward use in advanced humanoid robots and artificial visual sensors.
