选我所爱,爱我所选

1缘分天定 物理从来就不是我的首选科目.高中分班时,我文理成绩持平.班主任说文科不好考大学,选择面太窄,遂把我留在了理科班.那时,我只有一个梦想,也只有一个选择:考一个好大学,其他的都暂时放在一边.既然班主任觉得我学理科可以考上好大学,那就听人劝吧.高中的三年,我凭借自己良好的记忆力一直能把学习成绩保持在全年级前几名.我到底喜欢什么,我也不知道了,只是完全沉浸在那种用勤奋换来的优越感中.既然选择了理科,我就努力地让自己去适应这个选择,去爱这个当初不是太喜欢的选择.     

High-resolution frequency-domain spectroscopy for water vapor with coherent and continuous terahertz wave

High-resolution frequency-domain spectroscopy(FDS) is set up using a coherent and continuous wave terahertz(THz) emitter and receiver. THz waves are generated and detected by two photomixers with two distributed feedback(DFB) lasers. Atmospheric water vapor with different relative humidity is systematically investigated by the FDS. A high-frequency resolution of ～14 MHz is obtained with the help of Hilbert transformation, leading to a well resolved and distinct transmittance characterization of water vapor. Compared with conventional THz time-domain spectroscopy, the high-resolution continuous wave THz spectrometer is one of the most practical systems in gas-phase molecular sensing, identification, and monitoring.

Optimization of highly efficient terahertz generation in lithium niobate driven by Ti:sapphire laser pulses with 30 fs pulse duration

We systematically study the optimization of highly efficient terahertz(THz) generation in lithium niobate(LN)crystal pumped by 800 nm laser pulses with 30 fs pulse duration. At room temperature, we obtain a record optical-to-THz energy conversion efficiency of 0.43% by chirping the pump laser pulses. Our method provides a new technique for producing millijoule THz radiation in LN via optical rectification driven by joule-level Ti:sapphire laser systems, which deliver sub-50-fs pulse durations.     

飞秒激光泵浦LaAlO3/SrTiO3异质结产生太赫兹波辐射

自铁磁金属在飞秒激光泵浦下的超快退磁效应发现以来,电子的自旋属性逐渐被应用于太赫兹电磁波的产生.利用逆Rashba-Edelstein效应产生太赫兹辐射首先在Ag/Bi界面得到证实,而LaAlO₃/SrTiO₃界面通过该效应产生直流的自旋-电荷转换效率要高于Ag/Bi界面约一个数量级,但利用该结构转化自旋流来产生太赫兹的有效性尚待系统的研究.本文制备了NiFe/LaAlO₃//SrTiO₃(001)系列样品,在飞秒激光泵浦下观察到了太赫兹辐射的产生及其对磁场方向的依赖效应,并通过改变LaAlO₃层的厚度验证了超扩散模型与光学传输模型的有效性,观察到了在LaAlO₃/SrTiO₃界面由于多次反射导致太赫兹波的减弱,为进一步优化太赫兹波的产生提供了实验和理论支持.     

封面故事

图中所示为在iPad屏上拍摄到的水滴照片.将iPad的屏幕设置为白屏,亮度调到最大,均匀地洒上水滴,即可获得如图所示的拍摄效果.凸表面的水滴具有放大镜的功能,使得屏幕上的网格状像素单元变得清晰可见.来自屏幕下方的白光是由红、绿、蓝三基色合成的.光透过水滴进入屏幕一侧的空间,由于不同频率的光在水中的折射率不同,折射角从小到大依次为:红、绿、蓝,这导致三种颜色的光被水滴以较大的角度偏差散开,从而呈现出色彩斑斓的景象.单个水滴看似变     

Terahertz Radiation from Graphite Excited by Femtosecond Laser Pulses

We experimentally investigate the terahertz （THz） generation from a graphite surface induced by femtosecond laser pulses, and systematically study the dependence on the excitation power, the crystal orientation of graphite, polarization state and incident angle of optical beam. New evidence related to excitation and detection geometry is found and presented, which supports the THz generation mechanism of transient photocarrier transporting along the basal plane normal. Our observation also suggests other probable contributions by in-plane charge oscillations. The results may be helpful to explore and understand the photoelectric properties of graphite and other allotropes of carbon.     

飞秒激光在6H SiC晶体表面制备纳米微结构

激光诱导周期性纳米微结构在多种材料包括电介质、半导体、金属和聚合物中观察到。研究了800nm和400nm飞秒激光垂直聚焦于6H SiC晶体表面制备纳米微结构。实验观察到800nm和400nm线偏光照射样品表面分别得到周期为150nm和80nm的干涉条纹,800nm圆偏振激光单独照射样品表面得到粒径约100nm的纳米颗粒。偏振相互垂直的800nm和400nm激光同时照射晶体得到粒径约100nm的纳米颗粒阵列,该纳米阵列的方向随400nm激光强度增加而向400nm偏振方向偏转。利用二次谐波的观点对以上纳米结构的形成给出了解释。

Extreme THz Radiation from Lithium Niobite Materials

<正>When discussing extreme terahertz(THz) radiation,we always mean that its electric peak field is in the megavolt per centimeter with a peak magnetic field at the Tesla level. Therefore, strong-field THz can accelerate electrons,stimulate spin procession, excite lattice vibration, align and rearrange molecules, and has many fantastic potential applications.^[1–3]However, all the applications finally rely on strong-field THz sources. For some cases,
