Spin‐polarized electron gas in Co2M Si/SrTiO3 (M = Ti,V, Cr,Mn, and Fe) heterostructures

Spin‐polarized density functional theory is used to study the TiO₂ terminated interfaces between the magnetic Heusler alloys Co₂Si (M = Ti, V, Cr, Mn, and Fe) and the non‐polar band insulator SrTiO₃. The structural relaxation at the interface turns out to depend systematically on the lattice mis‐ match. Charge transfer from the Heusler alloys (mainly the M 3d orbitals) to the Ti d_xy orbitals of the TiO₂ interface layer is found to gradually grow from M = Ti to Fe, resulting in an electron gas with increasing density of spin‐polarized charge carriers.

Heterodyne interferometric polarization coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering (HIP‐CARS) spectroscopy

We demonstrate a new technique that combines polarization sensitivity of the coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) response with heterodyne amplification for background‐free detection of CARS signals. In this heterodyne interferometric polarization CARS (HIP‐CARS), the major drawbacks of polarization and heterodyne CARS are rectified. Using a home‐built picosecond optical parametric oscillator, we are able to address vibrational stretches between 600 and 1650 cm⁻¹ and record continuous high‐resolution Raman equivalent HIP‐CARS spectra.

Geometric Phase Observation with Dispersed Fringes

Geometric and dynamic phases are separately observed using dispersed fringes, and the difference between them is clearly demonstrated. Independence of geometric phase of wavelength is straightforwardly shown in the dispersed fringe.

All-optical NRZ-OOK-to-RZ-OOK format conversions with tunable duty cycles using nonlinear polarization rotation of a semiconductor optical amplifier

We experimentally demonstrate an all-optical 10 Gb/s format conversion from non-return-to-zero (NRZ) on-off-keying (OOK) to return-to-zero (RZ)-OOK with tunable duty cycle in the whole C-band using nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) arising in an semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). The experimental results show that, by tuning the polarizer at the SOA output, an RZ signal with tunable duty cycle from 33% to 66% could be obtained with an extinction ratio(ER) over 10 dB. In addition, we show that the NRZ-to-RZ conversion with duty cycle of 33-66% can be obtained with less than 1 dB power penalty at the bit error ratio (BER) of 10⁻⁹. The device can facilitate the cross-connection between optical transmission networks employing different modulation formats.     

Quantitative Surface Chirality Detection with Sum Frequency Generation Vibrational Spectroscopy: Twin Polarization Angle Approach

介绍了一种新的表面和频振动光谱方法: 定量手性检测中的双偏振角方法. 一般来讲表面光谱信号中非手性项贡献最强,而纯界面手性信号要比非手性信号弱两到三个数量级. 因此在和频振动光定量测量和分析界面手性的贡献问题上存在困难. 在和频振动光谱的双偏振角方法中,通过固定入射红外光偏振方向,并同时改变入射可见光和初涉和频信号光的偏振角进行测量. 这样所得到的偏振依赖的和频振动光谱信号能够直接给出界面手性贡献的特征,并 且能够用于准确测量界面的手性和非手性贡献. 对双偏振角方法进行了描述,并且通过S和R手性的柠檬烯空     

脉冲激光偏振方向对氧分子高次谐波的影响——基于含时密度泛函理论的模拟

采用含时密度泛函方法,结合赝势模型和电子交换相关作用的广义梯度近似,模拟了氧分子在超强飞秒激光脉冲作用下的高次谐波产生现象,并研究了激光脉冲偏振方向对氧分子高次谐波的影响.结果表明氧分子的高次谐波谱具有典型原子谐波谱的特征;当θ=45°(激光偏振方向与分子轴向夹角)时,谐波谱强度最大.这与文献报道的实验结果基本一致.     

Monte Carlo方法模拟光在生物组织中传播的新进展

Monte Carlo方法已被广泛用于模拟复杂的随机介质如生物组织中光的辐射传输.在生物光子应用中,早期的Monte Carlo模拟模型忽略了光在组织中传输的波动性,而用中性粒子光子包来模拟其传播过程.然而,许多光学诊断技术是基于光在组织中的偏振效应和多重散射的相干性来揭示组织的生理和病理信息,这就要涉及光辐射的波动性.本文阐述了用Monte Carlo方法模拟光在生物组织中传播的最新进展.     

Turbulence-induced changes in degree of polarization, degree of coherence and spectrum of partially coherent electromagnetic beams

Based on a recently formulated unified theory of coherence and polarization, a method is described to study turbulence-induced changes in the polarization, the coherence and the spectrum of partially coherent electromagnetic beams on propagation. The electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model beam is taken as a typical example of partially coherent electromagnetic beams, and the closed-form expressions for the degree of polarization, the degree of coherence and the spectrum of electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model beams propagating through atmospheric turbulence are derived in the quadratic approximation of Rytov's phase structure function. Some interesting results are obtained, which are illustrated by numerical examples and are explained in physics.
