Abstract:Electromagnetic fields at the surface of a chiral negative refraction medium (the chirality parameter is larger than the refractive index) are analyzed theoretically. For obtaining chirality parameter,the normalized reflected and transmitted powers as a function of the incident angle are given for the perpendicular (TE) and parallel (TM) polarized incident wave.Brewster angle and total internal reflection angle are discussed. Due to the negative refraction of one eigen-wave in the chiral medium, the reflection, transmission and Brewster angle characteristics are very different from those in the normal chiral medium.

Abstract:An Ytterbium-doped mode-locked fiber laser using the polarization sensitive isolator and polarization controllers (PC) is reported. In the normal dispersion, the fiber laser can oscillate at the multi-pulse states by adjusting the position of the PC.On the condition that the polarization state isn't changed, the outputs of Ytterbium-doped mode-locked fiber laser change from single pulse to multi-pulse by increasing the pump power. The fiber laser can achieve different multi-pulse output by adjusting the PC1 and PC2 carefully.

Abstract:The tunable microwave photonic filter based on a fiber ring and erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) was proposed. By introducing a section of erbium-doped fiber (EDF) into the fiber ring, the loss of the signal can be compensated by the EDFA gain through adjusting the pump power. This can largely increase the number of the effective sampling taps, and then improve the performance of the microwave photonic filter notably. When the pump power was set to be 42.7 mW, a microwave bandpass filter with the 3-dB bandwidth of 0.15 MHz, the Q factor up to 100 and extinction ratio up to 20 dB was achieved. By employing a tunable optical delay line in the above fiber ring, a tunable microwave photonic filter has been realized through tuning the length of the optical delay line. The proposed tunable microwave photonic filter can find great applications in microwave signal processing and ROF system.

Abstract:Based on a special catalyst and fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), an optical sensing system is proposed to measure the concentration of methane. The temperature of the catalyst rises rapidly as the concentration of methane increases, and hence it can be detected by an FBG-type sensor through monitoring the wavelength shift of the reflection spectrum. The experimental results show the good performances of our system, such as the high resolution and temperature stability.

Abstract:A general theoretical model for microwave photonic filters based on multi-wavelength light source and dispersive media is summarized and presented, and is applied to the analysis of double-laser-based microwave photonic notch filters' performance.The different influences of the double-sideband(DSB) modulation and the single-sideband(SSB) modulation are demonstrated and explained theoretically. Furthermore, the impact of different factors, such as frequency spacing, 3dB bandwidth and the spectrum amplitude mismatch on the performance of the microwave photonic notch filters are also studied. The numerical simulation results are in good agreement with predictions, and could be beneficial for future optimization of microwave photonic filters.

Abstract:Blue and green organic light-emitting devices with a structure of indium tin oxide (ITO)/N,N'-bis-(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-1,1 '-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (NPB)/aluminum(Ⅲ) bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinato)4 -phenylphenolato (BAlq)/tris(8-hydroxyquinolate)-aluminum (Alq3)/Mg:Ag have been fabricated. Blue to green light emission has been achieved with the change of organic film thickness. Based on energy band diagram and charge carrier tunneling theory, it is concluded that the films of different thicknesses play a role as a color-tuning layer and the color-variable electroluminescence (EL) is ascribed to the modulation function within the charge carrier recombination zone. In the case of heterostructure devices with high performance, the observed EL spectra varies significantly with the thickness of organic films, which is resulted from the shift of recombination region site. It has not been hitherto indicated that the devices compose of identical components could be implemented to realize different color emission by changing the film thickness of functional layers.

Abstract:The composite Nd:YAG crystal with undoped YAG end caps was fabricated by thermal bonding technique. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) result shows that the width of the bonded interface was about 0.5 tm. The laser micro-Raman was used to study the bonded interface of the composite crystal. The results of Raman spectra and the bonded interface image indicate that the undoped YAG and Nd:YAG crystals have been well bonded together. Furthermore, it can be drawn that the structure and the composition of the bonded interface are the same as the undoped YAG crystal, and that the Nd3 ions do not enter the bonded interface and the YAG side. This property is advantageous to decrease the thermal effect of the boned interface and to improve the laser stability.

Abstract:Using transfer matrix method, the optical transmission properties in one-dimensional (1-D) photonic crystal is analyzed.When the temperature varies, not only the refractive index of the optical medium is changed because of the thermo-optical effect, but also the thickness of the optical medium is changed due to the thermal-expansion effect. Thus, the structure of 1/4 wave-plate stack in original photonic crystal is destroyed and the band structure varies. In this work, the effects of the temperature variation on the first and second band gap in a 1-D photonic crystal are analyzed in detail. It is found that the changes of the starting wavelength, the cut-off wavelength and the forbidden band width depend linearly on the temperature.

Abstract:An all-solid-state ultraviolet laser based on frequency doubling in an external ring cavity with low input pump power is reported. Both second harmonic generation (SHG) and fourth harmonic generation (FHG) occurred in an external threemirrors ring cavity. The need for impedance matching of this cavity to the input radiation was eliminated and the cavity adaptation was simplified, because the mirrors were not highly reflecting at 1064 nm and the cavity resonates only at 532 nm. Experiment results demonstrate that the conversion efficiency of this external cavity is higher than that of the singlepass condition.

Abstract:The formaldehyde (HCHO) measurement is described by differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) technique and the data processing method is discussed in detail, including the selection of retrieval wavelength band, the removing of interfering structures, the steps of data processing and the spectrum dealing with nonlinear method. The HCHO concentration retrieved in different wavelength bands were compared, including relative error, repeatability and detection limit. As a result, the band from 314 to 332 nm was most suitable for the retrieval of HCHO. With these methods, high measurement precision of 1.9% was obtained and the detection limit of HCHO is less than 1.5 ppb. In addition, high linear relativity 0.9999 is achieved by measuring five different concentrations of HCHO with this system.

Abstract:A novel method for phase-detecting of each individual beam in coherent beam combining system of fiber laser array based on the property of time-shift of fast Fourier transform is reported. It takes advantage of the relative movement of fringepattern to detect the phase shift between each individual beam and reference beam. No frequency shift component for reference beam is required in the system. At the same time, the acquisition fringe-pattern is firstly tailored to a few multiple of fringes in order to reduce the phase-detecting error caused by energy leakage during the course of fast Fourier transform.This technique can greatly reduce the effect of energy leakage and thus improve the phase-detecting precision. Basic principle of the new phase-detecting method is described in detail, and numerical results show that the phase-detecting error is less than 1/1000 wavelength by utilizing our method.

The numerical calculations for several Ⅲ-Ⅴ and Ⅱ-Ⅵ compound systems are performed and the polariton frequencies as functions of the wave-vector and the compositions for ternary mixed crystals AlxGa1-xAs, CdxZn1-xSe and AlxGa1-xN as examples are given and discussed. The results show that the dependence of the energies of surface polaritons on the composition of ternary mixed crystals are slightly nonlinear different from the bulk modes.

Abstract:A novel configuration of two Brillouin amplifiers, which contains a main amplifier combined with a reshaping amplifier, is suggested to control pulse shape of Stokes pulses with steep leading edge. Dependences of pulse shapes on several parameters are numerically simulated. By changing the distance between the two amplifiers, the leading edge of amplified pulses can be finely adjusted. Smooth and symmetrical pulses or pulses with slow leading-edge are achieved. Theoretical researches prove that this system is fit for shaping pulses with steep leading edge, especially, for controlling leading edge of pulses. The results provide useful and necessary theoretical basis and guidance for the future experimental research.

Abstract:The axial force exerting to a micro-particle in the TEM01* doughnut mode is calculated by using the ray-optic model. The calculated results show that the optical vortex possesses two advantages in trapping the high-index micro-particles compared with that of the conventional optical tweezers,of which one is the axial force induced by the optical vortex and is three times as great as that of the optical tweezers under the same power level, and the other is of two equilibrium positions in the optical vortex, which indicates that optical vortex is more suitable in trapping particles. Furthermore, the optical vortex can trap the low-index micro-particles, which can not by the conventional optical tweezers.
