Abstract:The properties of the linear chirped fiber grating (CFG) which is used in the true time delay unit of the optical beamforming networks (OBFNs) are studied intensively through theoretical analyses and numerical calculations. It is concluded that the dispersion of the CFG is equal to 1/(3Gc), where G is the chirp coefficient of CFG and c is the light speed. Based on this relationship, a simplified designing process of a CFG which satisfies the requirements of the OBFN is given. The simulation resu..

Abstract:Polycrystalline ZnO films are prepared using radio frequency magnetron sputtering on glass substrates which are sputter-etched for different time. Both the size of ZnO grains and the root-mean-square (RMS) roughness decrease, as the sputter-etching time of the substrate increases. More Zn atoms are bound to O atoms in the films, and the defect concentration is decreased with increasing sputter-etching time of substrate. Meanwhile, the crystallinity and c-axis orientation are improved at longer s...

Abstract:A tunable photonic crystal filter with a twisted nematic liquid crystal layer is proposed. The defect modes spectra with varying incident angles are discussed in detail by 4x4 matrix method. The results show that the defect modes are mainly decided by the applied voltage when the incident angle is smaller than 8o. As the incident angle further increases, the band gap and the defect modes shift toward the shorter wavelength side, and the changes of the two modes are different. In the lower voltag...

Under the different initial states with two atoms, the influences of the light field intensity and the atomic motion on the field entropy are discussed. The results indicate that the motion of the atoms leads to strict periodicity in the field entropy evolution. When the two atoms are in the bell state initially, the system is in a completely disentangled...
