Strong dispersion of the surface optical phonon of silicon carbide in the near vicinity of the surface Brillouin zone center

The surface optical or Fuchs-Kliewer phonons of the (0 0 1) surface of 3C-SiC and the Si-terminated (0 0 0 1) surfaces of 4H- and 6H-SiC have been investigated with high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS). For each of the SiC polytypes the frequency of the surface optical phonon changes with surface reconstruction, indicating subtle differences in the static polarization at differently reconstructed surfaces. Due to their anisotropy, hexagonal surfaces exhibit a second, much weaker Fuchs-Kliewer mode. For all surfaces under examination, a linear dispersion of the Fuchs-Kliewer mode frequency has been found for wave vectors close to the -point. This dispersion can be explained by dynamical dipole coupling between atomic oscillators at the surface of the highly polar silicon carbide.     

Preparation and characterization of ZnO nanorods from NaOH solutions with assisted electrical field

ZnO naorods on ZnO-coated seed substrates were fabricated by solution chemical method from Zn(NO₃)₂/NaOH under assisted electrical field. The working mechanism of electrical field was analyzed and the factors affecting the rod growth such as potential, precursor concentration and growth temperature were elucidated. The structural and optical properties are characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, HRTEM and UV-vis. The results indicated that the nanorods have wurtzite structure without electrical field and are primarily of zincite structure under electrical field; when the electrical field is 1.1-1.3 V, not only the elevation of ion diffusion and adsorption lower the crystallite/solution interfacial energy and then the crystal nucleation barrier by increasing charge intensity, but also the production of H⁺ through oxidation of OH⁻ increases properly the degree of solution supersaturation near the substrate, and thus lowers the activation energy. Both the two processes do favor to rod growth. With increasing precursor concentration in this system, the average diameter and length of ZnO nanorods increase, leading to decreasing of optical transmittance. The maximum rod growth rate at given concentration of Zn²⁺ occurs at a specific temperature.     

The effect of oxidation on physical properties of porous silicon layers for optical applications

In order to understand the optical loss mechanisms in porous silicon based waveguides, structural and optical studies have been performed. Scanning and transmission electron microscopic observations of porous silicon layers are obtained before and after an oxidation process at high temperature in wet O₂. Pore size and shape of heavily p-type doped Si wafers are estimated and correlated to the optical properties of the material before and after oxidation. The refractive index was measured and compared to that determined by the Bruggeman model.     

Multiple frequency radiofrequency-optical resonance in a four-level model of rubidium atoms with optical pumping

We consider a four-level model for alkali metal atoms with optical pumping by nonresonant light under conditions when magnetic dipole transitions are induced between energy sublevels of the hyperfine structure in the ground state. We present the dependences of the observed signal as a function of the frequency detuning of the applied rf fields relative to the resonant value, calculated in the density matrix formalism. We note the absence of a light shift in the radiofrequency-optical resonance signal, independent of the amplitude of the rf field and the optical and thermal relaxation rates. We show that when using a modulation technique for phase detection of the signal, its maximum discrimination ability is observed under conditions for simultaneous modulation of the pump light intensity and the frequency of the rf field, which in principle does not occur in the classical two-level model for optically oriented atoms in magnetic resonance. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 73, No. 3, pp. 326–329, May–June, 2006.

一种新型温度自补偿高灵敏度折射率计

基于高频CO2激光脉冲写入的新型超长周期光纤光栅(ULPFG),提出了一种可实现温度自补偿的新型高灵敏度折射率计。理论与实验表明,新型超长周期光纤光栅不同闪耀阶次谐振峰对外界折射率与温度变化的灵敏度各自不同,特别的是,该光栅存在对外界折变不敏感的谐振峰,测量中除了可以利用该峰实现温度同时测量外,还可以补偿另一个测量折变的谐振峰因温度变化带来的测量误差。该折射率计具有制作简单、成本低、强度好,灵敏度高等优点,当外界折射率在1.43~1.45范围内变化时,其折射率测量灵敏度可达每单位折射率240 nm,在实际工业应用中具有较大的潜在实用价值。     

KBA显微镜成像系统的成像模拟及X光成像实验的研究

KBA显微镜是一种非轴对称、非共轴的掠入射成像系统。其结构复杂,调节精度要求很高,在实际成像实验操作中难以掌握其成像特性。利用光学设计软件模拟其成像,对系统的调节和成像分析提供有益的参考。利用光学设计软件ZEMAX模拟了KBA显微镜对点源的成像过程,给出了KBA显微镜成像系统的焦深约为1 mm,景深为50 mm左右。并且由模拟可知,掠入射角对成像的影响很大。对像素尺寸约10μm的探测设备,模拟得出KBA成像系统的空间分辨力上限为3μm左右。基于星光Ⅱ装置对周期为20μm的网格靶成像,获得了KBA显微镜较为清晰的X光图像。该项工作为进一步开展掠入射成像系统的研究奠定了基础。     

Influence of the bias current on the output characteristics of a mode-locked fiber ring laser consisting of two SOAs

In this paper, after obtaining the mode-locked pulse shape with self-reproduction theory, the influence of the bias current on the output characteristics of a backward-optical-injection harmonic mode-locked fiber ring laser consisting of two semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) has been numerically investigated. The results show that the mode-locked pulse with high peak power and narrow width can be obtained through reasonably adjusting the bias currents of the two SOAs.
