回旋速调管调制腔模拟分析

 多腔回旋速调管中的调制腔采用内外腔同轴结构,对回旋电子注角向群聚起着关键作用。用场匹配理论及HFSS软件对调制腔冷腔特性进行了研究,对多种输入结构、耦合缝尺寸和方位、腔体长度、半径进行了模拟。分析表明,耦合狭缝中心线与输入波导轴线成45°,耦合缝长度达到0.72时,内外腔储能比值达到41.65;耦合缝尺寸对腔体Q值影响较大,但并非呈简单线性关系,并且Q值对缝长的变化比缝宽的变化要敏感得多;而狭缝尺寸变化对谐振频率的影响不大;计算了内外腔储能,得到了模式转换效率高、内外腔储能比高、性能优良的调制腔。     

开口狭缝调制的耦合微腔中表面等离激元诱导透明特性

耦合的波导-微腔结构在光滤波器、光调制器中有着广泛的应用.结构的光传输性质主要由模式的耦合强度来决定,而耦合强度通常通过控制结构间的几何间距来实现.由于电磁波在金属中急剧衰减,这为控制金属微腔中模式的耦合带来了巨大的挑战.本文利用金属微腔中法布里-珀罗模式的共振特性,在微腔中引入开口狭缝,通过调节狭缝的缝宽以及偏移位置,来控制模式的泄漏率以及耦合强度,实现了可调控的表面等离激元诱导透明效应.当狭缝的开口宽度或者偏移量增加时,结构透射谱的透射峰值和半高全宽也会相应地增加.狭缝的几何参数变化会对结构共振特性产生调制,文中通过时域耦合模理论对相应的物理机进行了解释.本文的结果为实现利于加工的紧凑表面等离激元器件提供了思路.

由超辐射引起的迁移率边和重返局域化

研究了束缚在梯子形光晶格中的中性原子与高精度腔耦合的系统,发现由超辐射引起的准周期调制可以导致迁移率边和重返局域化现象的出现.在平均场近似下,超辐射现象可以引起两种不同频率的准周期调制,它们可以由腔场和泵浦场有效调节.在本文的观测范围内,当高频调制强度小于某一临界值时,系统随着低频调制强度的增加经历一次局域转变.通过数值求解分形维度、密度分布、平均参与率、平均逆参与率以及标度分析,证明了局域转变历经的临界相区存在迁移率边;当高频调制强度大于临界值时,随着低频调制强度的增强,系统依次经历完全扩展相-临界相-完全局域相-临界相-完全局域相,这是一个典型的重返局域化现象.最后给出了局域化相图.该研究结果为超辐射相变和重返局域化现象的研究建立了联系,也为重返局域化的研究搭建了新的平台.

Precise determination of characteristic laser frequencies by an Er-doped fiber optical frequency comb

Femtosecond optical frequency combs correlate the microwave and optical frequencies accurately and coherently. Therefore, any optical frequency in visible to near-infrared region can be directly traced to a microwave frequency. As a result, the length unit "meter" is directly related to the time unit "second". This paper validates the capability of the national wavelength standards based on a home-made Er-doped fiber femtosecond optical frequency comb to measure the laser frequencies ranging from visible to near-infrared region. Optical frequency conversion in the femtosecond optical frequency comb is achieved by combining spectral broadening in a highly nonlinear fiber with a single-point frequency-doubling scheme. The signal-to-noise ratio of the beat notes between the femtosecond optical frequency comb and the lasers at 633, 698, 729, 780, 1064, and 1542 nm is better than 30 dB. The frequency instability of the above lasers is evaluated by using a hydrogen clock signal with a instability of better than 1×10^-13 at 1-s averaging time. The measurement is further validated by measuring the absolute optical frequency of an iodine-stabilized 532-nm laser and an acetylene-stabilized 1542-nm laser. The results are within the uncertainty range of the international recommended values. Our results demonstrate the accurate optical frequency measurement of lasers at different frequencies using the femtosecond optical frequency comb, which is not only important for the precise and accurate traceability and calibration of the laser frequencies, but also provides technical support for establishing the national wavelength standards based on the femtosecond optical frequency comb.     

Numerical study of converting beat-note signals of dual-frequency lasers to optical frequency combs by optical injection locking of semiconductor lasers

The optical injection locking of semiconductor lasers to dual-frequency lasers is studied by numerical simulations. The beat-note signals can be effectively transformed to optical frequency combs due to the effective four wave-mixing in the active semiconductor gain medium. The low-noise Gaussian-like pulse can be obtained by locking the relaxation oscillation and compensating the gain asymmetry. The simulations suggest that pulse trains of width below 30 ps and repetition rate in GHz frequency can be generated simply by the optical injection locking of semiconductor lasers. Since the optical injection locking can broaden the spectrum and amplify the optical power simultaneously, it can be a good initial stage for generating optical frequency combs from dual-frequency lasers by multi-stage of spectral broadening in nonlinear waveguides.

Optical frequency comb technology for ultra‐broadband radio‐frequency photonics

The outstanding phase‐noise performance of optical frequency combs has led to a revolution in optical synthesis and metrology, covering a myriad of applications, from molecular spectroscopy to laser ranging and optical communications. However, the ideal characteristics of an optical frequency comb are application dependent. In this review, the different techniques for the generation and processing of high‐repetition‐rate (>10 GHz) optical frequency combs with technologies compatible with optical communication equipment are covered. Particular emphasis is put on the benefits and prospects of this technology in the general field of radio‐frequency photonics, including applications in high‐performance microwave photonic filtering, ultra‐broadband coherent communications, and radio‐frequency arbitrary waveform generation.     

A superresolution optical disk with a combination of optical path filtering and saturable absorption techniques

Calculations have been done for the modulation transfer function of a superresolution optical disk with a combination of optical path filtering and saturable absorption techniques. The results reveal that optical path filtering alone can only equalize, to a certain degree, the spatial frequency response of the opticaldisk system, but it can not attain any response beyond the cutoff frequency. With an additional saturable absorption layer in-between the substrate and the information layer, it is found that the optical response both under and beyond the cutoff frequency can be greatly improved.

Decreased vibrational susceptibility of Fabry--Perot cavities via designs of geometry and structural support

Ultra-stable optical cavities are widely used for laser frequency stabilization. In these experiments the laser performance relies on the length stability of the Fabry--Perot cavities. Vibration-induced deformation is one of the dominant factors that affect the stability of ultra-stable optical cavities. We have quantitatively analysed the elastic deformation of Fabry--Perot cavities with various shapes and mounting configurations. Our numerical result facilitates a novel approach for the design of ultra-stable cavities that are insensitive to vibrational perturbations. This approach can be applied to many experiments such as laser frequency stabilization, high-precision laser spectroscopy, and optical frequency standards.
