Effect of radiation-induced mean wavelength shift in optical fibers on the scale factor of interferometric fiber optic gyroscope at a wavelength of 1300 nm

In order to analyze the effect of wavelength-dependent radiation-induced attenuation (RIA) on the mean transmission wavelength in optical fiber and the scale factor of interferometric fiber optic gyroscopes (IFOGs), three types of polarization-maintaining (PM) fibers is tested by using a ⁶⁰Co γ -radiation source. The observed different mean wavelength shift (MWS) behaviors for different fibers are interpreted by color-center theory involving dose rate-dependent absorption bands in ultraviolet and visible range and total dose-dependent near infrared absorption bands. To evaluate the mean wavelength variation in fiber coil and the induced scale factor change for space-borne IFOG under low radiation dose in space environment, the influence of dose rate on the mean wavelength is investigated by testing four germanium (Ge) doped fibers and two germanium-phosphorus (Ge-P) codoped fibers irradiated at different dose rates. Experimental results indicate that the Ge-doped fibers show the least mean wavelength shift during irradiation and their mean wavelength of optical signal transmitting in fibers will shift to shorter wavelength in low-dose-rate radiation environment. Finally, the change in the scale factor of IFOG resulting from the mean wavelength shift is estimated and tested, and it is found that the significant radiation-induced scale factor variation must be considered during the design of space-borne IFOG.     

Czerny-Turner型双光栅单色仪的波长驱动与波长校准研究

单色仪在实际光谱测量前需要进行波长校准。文中分析了波长驱动原理,并推导了Czerny-Turner双光栅单色仪出射波长与步进电机脉冲数的关系式。在此基础上进行了波长校准实验。使用低压汞灯作为校准光源,在紫外波段和可见波段蓝端,扫描多条低压汞灯特征谱线,得到单色仪的指示波长与信号强度的关系数据。计算出单色仪出射这些谱线时使用的波长修正量。最后使用曲线拟合方法得到250 nm～450 nm光谱范围内单色仪出射任意波长时对应修正量的计算式。波长校准保证了单色仪的波长准确性。

Generation of a squeezed state at 1.55 μ with periodically poled LiNbO3

We report on the generation of a squeezing vacuum at 1.55 μm using an optical parametric amplifier based on periodically poled LiNbO₃. Using three specifically designed narrow linewidth mode cleaners as the spatial mode and noise filter of the laser at 1.55 μm and 775 nm, the squeezed vacuum of up to 3.0 dB below the shot noise level at 1.55 μm is experimentally obtained. This system is compatible with standard telecommunication optical fibers, and will be useful for continuous variable long-distance quantum communication and distributed quantum computing.

Streaming potential analysis on the hydrodynamic transport of pressure-driven flow through a rotational microchannel

In this study, the streaming potential and electrokinetic energy conversion efficiency are discussed under the low zeta potential approximation through a microparallel channel with consideration of rotational effect. By solving Poisson-Boltzmann equation and modified Navier–Stokes equation, the analytical expressions of the streaming potential and electrokinetic energy conversion efficiency in the electrolyte solution are obtained. Combining with the numerical calculation, the influences of the dimensionless electrokinetic width K and the rotational angular velocity ω on streaming potential and the electrokinetic energy conversion efficiency are discussed. The results show that the streaming potential fields decrease both in mainstream and secondary directions with the electrokinetic width K, it decreases with the non-dimensional rotational angular velocity in the mainstream direction and it shows a first increasing then decreasing trend in the secondary flow direction. In addition, the influences of related non-dimensional parameters, including electrokinetic width, wall electric potential and rotational angular velocity, on the electrokinetic energy conversion efficiency are also discussed in detail. The rotating effect can enhance conversion efficiency comparing to the case of no rotation. The increase of wall electric potential gives rise to an augment in electrokinetic energy conversion efficiency. These theoretical results make sense to the energy harvesting in the rotating microfluidic systems.

A scheme to enhance the conversion efficiency of slow‐wave electron cyclotron masers in the large signal approximation

Based on the anomalous Doppler effect, we propose a scheme to improve the practicability of slow‐wave electron cyclotron masers in the large signal approximation. This scheme simultaneously contains the tapered guiding magnetic field and tapered refractive index. Numerical calculations show that this scheme enables the conversion efficiency to reach a higher value within a shorter time than previous schemes. Besides, this scheme also works well in the cases of THz wave band and beam axial‐velocity spread.
