微波频段表面等离子激元波导滤波器的实验研究

基于理论分析, 实验研究了二维磁单负材料/双正材料/磁单负材料表面等离子波导的滤波效应. 研究表明, 该波导结构具有低通滤波性质, 引入分支缺陷之后, 由于谐振效应该波导具有带阻滤波效应. 分支缺陷相当于亚波长谐振腔, 谐振腔的长度决定带阻滤波器的中心频率, 而中心频率几乎不受缺陷位置的影响; 滤波器透射率下降的幅度由耦合距离决定. 通过引入谐振腔及改变谐振腔的长度、数量以及耦合间距等参数, 可以实现可调节的表面等离子波导滤波器. 实验结果与理论分析符合得很好, 该性质将在可调的单通道或多通道带阻滤波器件中具有潜在的应用价值. 关键词： 表面等离子激元 特异材料波导 谐振腔 滤波器

真空条件下介质窗表面微波击穿实验

介绍了介质表面真空微波击穿研究实验装置的设计以及介质表面刻凹槽实验。微波源为S波段速调管,中心频率2.86 GHz,脉宽1μs。为确保击穿发生在后端介质样品处,而前端用于和速调管源隔离的陶瓷微波窗不击穿,实验装置采用先分后合的方法,利用两个陶瓷窗,每个陶瓷窗传输总功率的一半。为了抑制三相点带来的效应,采用凹形的圆柱介质,三相点处于电场强度弱的位置,有效消除了三相点的影响。在此实验装置上做了表面刻凹槽实验,初步实验结果表明,与光滑表面击穿阈值相比较,刻凹槽可使功率容量提高2倍以上。     

Broadband amplification of spoof surface plasmon polaritons at microwave frequencies

Efficient amplification of spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) is proposed at microwave frequencies by using a subwavelength‐scale amplifier. For this purpose, a special plasmonic waveguide composed of two ultrathin corrugated metallic strips on top and bottom surfaces of a dielectric substrate with mirror symmetry is presented, which is easy to integrate with the amplifier. It is shown that spoof SPPs are able to propagate on the plasmonic waveguide in broadband with low loss and strong subwavelength effect. By loading a low‐noise amplifier chip produced by the semiconductor technology, the first experiment is demonstrated to amplify spoof SPPs at microwave frequencies (from 6 to 20GHz) with high gain (around 20dB), which can be directly used as a SPP amplifier device. The features of strong field confinement, high efficiency, broadband operation, and significant amplification of the spoof SPPs may advance a big step towards other active SPP components and integrated circuits.

     

Experimental investigation of the fluctuations in nonchaotic scattering in microwave billiards

We report on the experimental investigation of the properties of the eigenvalues and wavefunctions and the fluctuation properties of the scattering matrix of closed and open billiards, respectively, of which the classical dynamics undergoes a transition from integrable via almost integrable to fully chaotic. To realize such a system, we chose a billiard with a 60° sector shape of which the classical dynamics is integrable, and introduced circular scatterers of varying number, size,and position. The spectral properties of generic quantum systems of which the classical counterpart is either integrable or chaotic are universal and well understood. If, however, the classical dynamics is pseudo-integrable or almost-integrable,they exhibit a non-universal intermediate statistics, for which analytical results are known only in a few cases, e.g., if it corresponds to semi-Poisson statistics. Since the latter is, above all, clearly distinguishable from those of integrable and chaotic systems, our aim was to design a billiard with these features which indeed is achievable by adding just one scatterer of appropriate size and position to the sector billiard. We demonstrated that, while the spectral properties of almostintegrable billiards are sensitive to the classical dynamics, this is not the case for the distribution of the wavefunction components, which was analyzed in terms of the strength distribution, and the fluctuation properties of the scattering matrix which coincide with those of typical, fully chaotic systems.     

双脉冲序列激光放大实验研究

掺Yb3+类高饱和通量增益介质的储能提取,会给激光器带来严重的安全风险,因此提出一种激光脉冲的时分复用放大技术。利用激光的偏振特性以及自由空间传输延迟,获得脉冲参数可变的脉冲序列,并进行验证实验。结果表明,时分复用放大与单脉冲放大的增益没有明显差别,且在约1.4 J/cm2的工作通量下,子脉冲时间间隔（14~22 ns）对激光增益的影响可以忽略不计。时分复用放大在保持总激光通量不变的前提下,降低了子脉冲的激光通量,降低了光学元件的损伤风险,保证了储能的有效提取。

Numerical studies of optical parametric chirped pulse amplification

Based on the coupled wave equations, optical chirped-pulse parametric amplification (OPCPA) is simulated and its characteristics are investigated under the conditions of small-signal and pump depletion. The influence of the group-velocity mismatch and the phase mismatch among the three waves on the process of the amplification are discussed, respectively. Compared with the conventional chirped-pulse amplification system, synchronization between pump and signal-pulses is a crucial issue in OPCPA. The requirement on Δτ_p–s as well as the stability of the system is investigated.     

Effect of the nonlinear compression of ultrashort microwave pulses in the process of the amplification by quasistationary electron beams

An effect of the nonlinear compression of ultrashort microwave pulses has been observed in the process of the amplification of quasistationary electron beams. The Cherenkov mechanism of the interaction of a rectangular electron beam with a decelerated wave in a waveguide partially filled with an insulator is used. The experiment has been conducted on a setup consisting of two synchronized RADAN high-current accelerators. The first accelerator supplied a generator of 37-GHz superradiance pulses with a duration of about 300 ps. The second accelerator with a beam current of up to 1.2 kA and an electron energy of about 300 keV was used in an amplifying section. The theoretical analysis shows that the amplification of the electromagnetic pulses (at least by a factor of 4 in the power) is accompanied by a strong decrease in their duration (down to 100 ps).     

Experimental verification of the parasitic bipolar amplification effect in PMOS single event transients

The contribution of parasitic bipolar amplification to SETs is experimentally verified using two P-hit target chains in the normal layout and in the special layout. For PMOSs in the normal layout, the single-event charge collection is composed of diffusion, drift, and the parasitic bipolar effect, while for PMOSs in the special layout, the parasitic bipolar junction transistor cannot turn on. Heavy ion experimental results show that PMOSs without parasitic bipolar amplification have a 21.4% decrease in the average SET pulse width and roughly a 40.2% reduction in the SET cross-section.     

Experimental studies of the myosin-actin motor

The mechanical processes generated by the molecular motors, myosin and actin, were measured using single molecule imaging, manipulation, and nanometry techniques. It was shown that the mechanical events of myosin are not tightly coupled with the ATP hydrolysis reaction and that myosin molecules move stochastically. These results indicate that the movement of myosin is driven by thermal motion rather than structural changes occurring in the myosin molecules. Thermal Brownian motion must be biased using the energy released from the hydrolysis of ATP. Thus, the molecular motors can harness thermal energy to perform mechanical work efficiently.

Stimulated Raman scattering for variable gain amplification of small optically carried microwave signals

Stimulated Raman amplification of optically carried microwave signals in optical fibers is experimentally investigated. In the backward configuration which is shown to be less noisy than the forward one, net amplification factors larger than 20 dB are demonstrated in the low signal regime with better relative intensity noise (RIN) values than using erbium-doped-fiber amplifiers. Due to the RIN flatness with respect to the gain of the stimulated Raman amplifier high quality variable gain amplification of optically carried microwave signals could be implemented using optimized Raman amplifiers.

Experimental study of small signal amplification in Bragg acoustooptic bistable system

The external small signal amplification ability of the Bragg acoustooptic system has been studied in this paper. It has been proven by experiment that there are saturation and resonance phenomena in the amplification. Bifurcation parameters at the bifurcation points are decreased by external simple harmonic signals. At the period-2 bifurcation point, small signal amplification energy is mainly from the period-2 component. External signals have the ability of frequency pulling and synchronising period-2 frequency. These phenomena have great significance concerning bifurcation and chaos.
