Operation principle of self-phase compensated optical waveguide isolator

A theory is developed for the self-phase compensated optical waveguide isolator recently reported in the literature. The operation principle of such device is explained in terms of synchronization of phase and power conversion. The effect of balancing phase mismatches of the two convertors on achieving a proper percentage of mode conversion is revealed. The way to make use of the phase mismatches of different sections to accommodate the different requirements in phase relationship for the reciprocal and nonreciprocal mode convertors is discussed. The theory is extended to the case where phase compensator is used. It is demonstrated that the introduction of phase compensator separates the adjustment of phase from the adjustment of power for the mode convertors so that relaxes fabrication tolerances of such devices. An isolator consists of three phase mismatched waveguide sections is designed and simulated. The simulation results confirm the self-phase compensation theory.     

Magnetic measurements of Fe-Ni-Nb-B and Fe-Co-Mo-Cu-B in the vicinity of the Curie temperature

The study of the transition between ferromagnetic and paramagnetic states has been investigated on selected metallic glass systems based on Fe-Ni-Nb-B and Fe-Co-Mo-Cu-B with T_C close to room temperature. Samples in the form of ribbons were prepared by planar flow casting and magnetostriction in parallel and perpendicular directions and saturation magnetostrictions have been determined on these samples in as-cast states together with hysteresis loops. In addition, a magneto-optic device for dynamic domain observation has been used for observation of domain structure. Magnetostriction measurements using direct method of measurement show the decrease of saturation magnetostriction towards zero upon approaching T_C. In paramagnetic state the field dependencies of magnetostriction in parallel and perpendicular configurations exhibit a linear dependence on the external magnetic field. In the transition region of temperatures the dependencies are a combination of ferromagnetic and paramagnetic field dependencies. The coercivity H_C in the materials investigated exhibits values below 20 A/m. The observed magnetic domains are typical for this class of amorphous alloys. The polarization in paramagnetic state increases gradually with increase in magnetizing field, reflecting the increasing amount of polarized regions.

Surface microstructure and magnetic behavior in FeSiB amorphous ribbons from magneto-optical Kerr effect

The magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) completed by other surface sensitive methods as integral low-energy and conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy and by X-ray diffraction have been used with the aim to trace the surface microstructure and magnetic properties of FeSiB amorphous ribbons prepared by planar flow casting. The general composition of studied samples is Fe₈₀Si_xB_20−x, where x=4, 6, 8, 10 at.%.It is shown that MOKE used for magnetization, hysteresis loop, and domain structure determination is highly beneficial in a detection of both surface crystallization and local ordering of atoms into magnetically different clusters of amorphous structure. Moreover, a combination of blue and red laser with different penetration depths yields unique results concerning the surface anisotropy and depth sensitivity. In the case of samples with 4, 6, and 8 at.% Si MOKE detects two magnetically different phases diverging in coercivity values H_c, however, not varying with the sample composition. These phases have been identified by Mössbauer measurements as FeSi and FeB clusters. Their relationship changes with Si concentration. On the other hand, a strong increase in the surface H_c found for the sample with 10 at.% Si has indicated a nanocrystallization. It was confirmed by electron microscopy, Mössbauer and X-ray diffraction results. The size of nanocrystals has varied between 200 nm and 500 nm.

Temporal solitons in magnetooptic and metamaterial waveguides

The important topic of temporal soliton propagation in double-negative metamaterials is discussed with an emphasis upon short pulses that exhibit self-steepening controlled by the frequency dependence of the relative permittivity and permeability. In addition, magnetooptic control is included, leading to some fascinating outcomes that should have practical application. The role of self-steepening, Raman scattering, third-order dispersion and magnetooptics is thoroughly investigated, and it is shown that pulses can acquire signatures in the form of additional velocities with respect to the moving frame. The metamaterial influence upon self-steepening has such a strong frequency dependence that it can be used to combat Raman scattering. The self-steepening can change sign, and it is shown that it is possible to arrange pulses in special switching formats to organise the output times. The metamaterial influence upon bit-patterns admits an important degree of control over multi-pulse interactions, and this is combined with magnetooptics to restore patterns. The role of third-order dispersion is also presented. Again, a control of the pulse behaviour in the neighbourhood where the frequency dependence causes the group-velocity dispersion parameter to approach zero is a direct consequence of using this kind of metamaterial. Finally, a Lagrangian analysis is used to support simulations of the positions of the pulse maxima.     

Magnetic-field-induced damage in a superconducting YBa2Cu3O7−x film

During investigations of the magnetic flux dynamics in thin superconducting YBa₂Cu₃O_7?x films we have observed the spontaneous formation of a damage in the film, apparently induced by the applied magnetic field of 0.1 T. The damage developed within less than 40 ms (the time resolution of the experiment) and showed up in the magnetiooptically recorded image of the flux above the sample as a path for massive flux penetration. A subsequent analysis revealed a 1 μm wide gap in the YBa₂Cu₃O_7?x film which had developed over a major portion of the 1 · 1 cm² sample. It is suggested that the film locally melted as a result of an instability of the superconductor in the critical state.
