Temperature dependence of the refractive index of optical fibers

Many experimental investigations on the temperature dependence of the refractive index of optical fibers have been reported previously, however a satisfying theoretical explanation for it is still absent. In this paper, a theoretical model about the temperature dependence of the refractive index of optical fibers is presented and it is in agreement with the previous experimental results. This work is a significant reference for the research and development of temperature sensors based on optical fiber delay lines.     

光纤延迟线噪音对相控阵波束指向的影响

基于相位噪音和相控阵理论,运用线阵天线原始方向图函数和光纤链路噪音系数公式,根据天线波束指向实际误差进行合理近似,推导了光延迟线链路噪音系数、天线阵元数与波束指向误差的理论公式.采用常规光纤链路参量进行了仿真研究,结果表明:相控阵天线波束指向误差均方差随光纤链路噪音系数增大而增加,随天线阵元数增加而减小,指向误差与光纤延迟线链路噪音系数的1/2次方成正比,与阵元数的3/2次方成反比.在相控阵天线工作频段内,低频波段受噪音系数影响更加明显.     

Plasmonic microcavity formed by the Möbius strip

We propose a Möbius-strip-type plasmonic cavity with a silver Möbius strip sandwiched between dielectric layers. By brief theoretical and simulation analyses, we obtain that the Q factor of the cavity remains about 40 and the mode volume is ultrasmall (less than 1 μm³) which is more compact than that of the cylindric cavity. This Möbius-strip-type plasmonic cavity supporting the propagation of surface plasmon polaritons owns some unusual properties such as more effective volume and the spatial separation. More potential applications based on this cavity remain to be explored in future nanophotonics.
