Properties of a dielectric plate using entangled two-photon states

We theoretically study the properties of a dielectric plate with a modified Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer. The fourth-order correlation functions are calculated in two regimes, which are divided depending on the relative size between the thickness of the dielectric plate and the one-photon coherence length. When the thickness of the dielectric plate is less than the one-photon coherence length, a novel modulation behavior of the coincidence rate is observed, which has not been discussed before. If the thickness of the dielectric plate is larger than the one-photon coherence length, coalescence and anti-coalescence are observed. The obtained results highlight the effects of a linear optical element on fourth-order interference.     

Tunable microlens arrays using polymer network liquid crystal

A tunable-focus microlens array based on polymer network liquid crystal (PNLC) is demonstrated. The PNLC was prepared using an ultraviolet (UV) light exposure through a patterned photomask. The photocurable monomer in each of the UV exposed spot forms an inhomogeneous centro-symmetrical polymer network which acts as a lens when a homogeneous electric field is applied to the cell. The focal length of the microlens arrays is tunable with the applied voltage.     

Comparative research on the transmission-mode GaAs photocathodes of exponential-doping structures

Early research has shown that the varied doping structures of the active layer of GaAs photocathodes have been proven to have a higher quantum efficiency than uniform doping structures.On the basis of our early research on the surface photovoltage of GaAs photocathodes,and comparative research before and after activation of reflection-mode GaAs photocathodes,we further the comparative research on transmission-mode GaAs photocathodes.An exponential doping structure is the typical varied doping structure that can form a uniform electric field in the active layer.By solving the one-dimensional diffusion equation for no equilibrium minority carriers of transmission-mode GaAs photocathodes of the exponential doping structure,we can obtain the equations for the surface photovoltage(SPV) curve before activation and the spectral response curve(SRC) after activation.Through experiments and fitting calculations for the designed material,the body-material parameters can be well fitted by the SPV before activation,and proven by the fitting calculation for SRC after activation.Through the comparative research before and after activation,the average surface escape probability(SEP) can also be well fitted.This comparative research method can measure the body parameters and the value of SEP for the transmission-mode GaAs photocathode more exactly than the early method,which only measures the body parameters by SRC after activation.It can also help us to deeply study and exactly measure the parameters of the varied doping structures for transmission-mode GaAs photocathodes,and optimize the Cs-O activation technique in the future.     

Electronic structure, energetics and geometric structure of carbon nanotubes: A density-functional study

Based on the local density approximation (LDA) in the framework of the density-functional theory, we study the details of electronic structure, energetics and geometric structure of the chiral carbon nanotubes. For the electronic structure, we study all the chiral nanotubes with the diameters between 0.8 and 2.0 nm (154 nanotubes). This LDA result should give the important database to be compared with the experimental studies in the future. We plot the peak-to-peak energy separations of the density of states (DOS) as a function of the nanotube diameter (D). For the semiconducting nanotubes, we find the peak-to-peak separations can be classified into two types according to the chirality. This chirality dependence of the LDA result is opposite to that of the simple π tight-binding result. We also perform the geometry optimization of chiral carbon nanotubes with different chiral-angle series. From the total energy as a function of D, it is found that chiral nanotubes are less stable than zigzag nanotubes. We also find that the distribution of bond lengths depends on the chirality.     

Design and fabrication of fluid controlled dynamic optical lens system

A novel small fluid controlled optical lens system that is capable of displaying dynamic variation of its focal length and field-of-view (FOV) is designed and fabricated. In this active lens system, appropriate volume of the optical fluid can be pumped into or out of the lens chamber to provide double-convex (DCX) or double-concave (DCV) lens effect. Simple optical imaging experiments were performed using different sets of glass lenses with fixed focal lengths to determine the optimum lens configuration required for designing a dynamic optical lens system. The experimental results obtained from the glass lenses demonstrate that a combination of a single DCX lens with three DCV lenses provides a wider FOV. The flexible membranes for fluid controlled lenses were fabricated using polydimethylsiloxane polymer material, which has good optical transparency and elasticity. A simple fluid injection system is used to vary the radius of curvature of the lenses, and thereby to change the focal length. A dynamic optical lens system with a combination of one DCX and multiple variable focal length DCV lenses as designed here can image an object with a wide range of focal length and FOV. With this fluid controlled optical system, the FOV and focal length could be continuously varied and a maximum FOV of 118.3° could be achieved. The smallest f-number (f_/#) for this fluid controlled single lens system was found to be 1.3, which corresponds to the numerical aperture value of 0.35.

Lock-exchange flows in inclined pipes: the relevance of the Prandtl mixing length model

We examine the applicability of the Prandtl mixing length model to transverse momentum and mass flux in strongly confined, stably stratified turbulent shear flows. These fluxes were measured in the vertical diametral plane of lock-exchange flows in an inclined pipe by the simultaneous use of planar laser-induced fluorescence and particle image velocimetry at local Reynolds numbers ranging from Re = 580 to 1770 and Richardson numbers ranging from Ri = 0.26 and 1.6. Measurements indicate that the eddy diffusivities of mass and momentum are symmetric about the pipe axis, with their maximum at the axis. The corresponding Prandtl mixing lengths decrease with increasing distance from the pipe axis within the central 60% of the pipe cross-section. Within the range of experimental conditions, the mixing lengths at the axis increase linearly with Ri so that the corresponding turbulent Prandtl number Pr_t decreases with Ri. In contrast, Pr_t and the mixing lengths do not display a systematic dependence on Re. Comparison with unbounded and semi-bound shear flows suggests that the strong confinement imposed by the pipe wall may be constraining the integral length scale and Prandtl mixing lengths.     

环程光程随机扰动时光纤环形腔的有效带宽

对由环境引起的环程光程扰动对光纤环形腔的影响作了详细的理论分析,在扰动为各态历经扰动假设下的理论分析表明：小的慢与快变化扰动的影响是不同的。慢变化扰动影响与人射光时间相干性相同,使有效带宽增大;而快变化扰动对有效带宽的影响很小。然而对大的慢或快变化扰动,都会使环形腔失去它的带通和带阻特性。实验结果证实了一结论。
