为了研制激光干涉成像所需的主振荡功率放大(MOPA)结构脉冲单频激光器,本文完成MOPA激光器的种子源即声光调Q脉冲单频1 064 nm激光器的特性研究,同时完成种子源腔外倍频绿光特性研究。脉冲单频激光器采用声光调Q模块实现脉宽约20 ns的1 064 nm脉冲激光输出,采用环形腔设计并采用一组不同厚度的标准具实现单纵模运转。实验研究基频1 064nm和倍频532 nm激光脉冲的线宽,得出在全脉宽范围内都具有较高时间相干性的结论。实验分别获得脉宽约28 ns峰值功率约6.5 kW的1 064 nm脉冲单频激光和脉宽约20 ns、峰值功率约0.5 kW的532 nm脉冲单频激光,腔外倍频效率为5.6%。实验同时也验证了腔外倍频的激光脉宽压缩效应。     

Control of spontaneous emission in a five-level system

We study the control of spontaneous emission in a five-level atomic system driven by four fields. We show that with the variation of dynamical variables, namely, Rabi frequencies and carrier phases of driven fields, a wide variety of the spectral behavior can be obtained, including extreme spectral narrowing. Our system can be found easily in real atoms.     

Phase-dependence of inversionless gain in a Doppler broadened open four-level system

The effect of the relative phase (?) between the probe and driving fields on the gain without inversion (GWI) in a Doppler broadened open quasi Λ-type four level atomic system with vacuum induced coherence (VIC) for both co- and counter-propagating probe and driving fields cases is studied. It is shown that: (1) GWI and the probe detuning region in which GWI exists are very sensitive to variation of the relative phase; when values of the other parameters keep unvarying, by adjusting value of ?, the largest GWI can be obtained. (2) The Doppler width (D) also has dramatically modulation role on the phase-dependent GWI. When value of D is smaller, the value of ? which corresponds to the largest value of GWI is about π, when value of D is large enough, it is about π/2. (3) GWI varies periodically with ? varying, the period is 2π, but the concrete variation rule is closely related to value of D. (4) In the co-propagating case we can obtain much larger GWI than that in the counter-propagating case.     

四孔径衍射屏在近场形成的光强分布及拓扑荷

利用基尔霍夫衍射理论计算模拟了四圆孔径衍射屏在菲涅耳深区形成的衍射光场的强度、零值线和相位的分布,发现衍射光场亮斑关于中心呈对称分布,在距离衍射屏较近的观察面上,光强值为零的点组成光强零值线段,该线段上光强等值线的离心率都接近或等于1,其两侧的光强值变化非常剧烈。复振幅的实部和虚部零值线多为封闭的曲线,零值线交叉点的个数为偶数,并且正负相位奇异点的个数相等。特殊相位奇异点周围的相位不仅呈对称分布,而且该点的拓扑荷的值近似为零。随着光波的传播,在不同的观察面上光强零值线段逐渐变短,最终趋于一点。

Dynamic nuclear polarisation via the integrated solid effect I: theory

In the hyperpolarisation method known as dynamic nuclear polarisation (DNP), a small amount of unpaired electron spins is added to the sample containing the nuclear spins and the polarisation of these unpaired electron spins is transferred to the nuclear spins by means of a microwave field. Traditional DNP uses weak continuous wave (CW) microwave fields, so perturbation methods can be used to calculate the polarisation transfer. A much faster transfer of the electron spin polarisation is obtained with the integrated solid effect (ISE) which uses strong pulsed microwave fields. As in nuclear orientation via electron spin locking, the polarisation transfer is coherent, similar to the coherence transfer between nuclear spins. This paper presents a theoretical approach to calculate this polarisation transfer.

ISE is successfully used for a fast polarisation transfer from short-lived photo-excited triplet states to the surrounding nuclear spins in molecular crystals. These triplet states are strongly aligned in the photo-excitation process and do not require the low temperatures and strong magnetic fields needed to polarise the electron spins in traditional DNP. In the following paper, the theory is applied to the system naphthalene-h₈ doped with pentacene-d₁₄ which provides the photo-excited triplet states, and compared with experimental results.     

Feedback control of quantum system

Feedback is a significant strategy for the control of quantum system. Information acquisition is the greatest difficulty in quantum feedback applications. After discussing several basic methods for information acquisition, we review three kinds of quantum feedback control strategies: quantum feedback control with measurement, coherent quantum feedback, and quantum feedback control based on cloning and recognition. The first feedback strategy can effectively acquire information, but it destroys the coherence in feedback loop. On the contrary, coherent quantum feedback does not destroy the coherence, but the capability of information acquisition is limited. However, the third feedback scheme gives a compromise between information acquisition and measurement disturbance.     

Contrast enhancement of optical coherence tomography images using least squares fitting and histogram matching

A method of contrast enhancement of optical coherence tomography (OCT) images based on least squares fitting and histogram matching is presented. Several different functions are adopted as the probability density functions of the gray levels to fit the normalized histogram of an OCT image and histogram matching is used to enhance the OCT image automatically. The effectiveness of the method is proved by the experimental results.
