The photorefractive sensitivity and the effective electron transport length in two-centre holographic recording

In this paper the photorefractive sensitivity defined for single-centre holographic recording is modified to adapt two-centre holographic recording. Based on the time analytic solution of Kukhtarev equations for doubly doped crystals, the analytical expression of photorefractive sensitivity is given. For comparison with single-centre holographic recording and summing the electron competition effects between the deeper and shallower traps, an effective electron transport length is proposed, which varies with the intensity ratios of recording light to sensitive light. According to analyses in this paper, the lower photorefractive sensitivity in two-centre holographic recording is mainly due to the lower concentration of unionized dopants in the shallower centre and the lower effective electron transport length.

Design of a highly stable, high-conversion-efficiency pumping source for optical parametric amplifier by extending efficient crystal length

The objective of this study is to improve the stability of pumping source of optical parametric amplifier. Analysis by simulation leads to the conclusion that the stability of the second harmonic can be improved by using properly the intensity of fundamental light and corresponding length of the crystal. By the method of the noncollinear two-pass second harmonic or the tandem second harmonic, the efficient crystal length is extended to a proper value, and the stability of the second harmonic output has been improved two times more than that for the fundamental light, and the conversion-efficiency is about 70% in experiment. When the variation of the fundamental light is about 10%, the variation of the second harmonic intensity has been controlled within 5%. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Passive Q-switching of short-length Tm3+-doped silica fiber lasers by polycrystalline Cr2+:ZnSe microchips

We demonstrate passive Q-switching of short-length double-clad Tm3+-doped silica fiber lasers near 2 mu m pumped by a laser diode array (LDA) at 790 nm. Polycrystalline Cr2+:ZnSe microchips with thickness from 0.3 to 1 mm are adopted as the Q-switching elements. Pulse duration of 120 ns, pulse energy over 14 mu] and repetition rate of 53 kHz are obtained from a 5-cm long fiber laser. As high as 530 kHz repetition rate is achieved from a 50-cm long fiber laser at similar to 10-W pump power. The performance of the Q-switched fiber lasers as a function of fiber length is also analyzed. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

C3植物中PEPCase及其有关酶活性的研究

本实验以C3植物小麦、大豆为材料研究了不同光合器官和生长发育过程中PEPCase及其有关的酶活性。主要结果如下: 1．C3植物中谱遍存在着一定活性的PEPCase，特别是在结实器官的各部位中有着较高活性和比例的PEPCase以及与PEPCase相邻作用的苹果酸酶和苹果酸脱氢酶，如小麦的内稃，大豆的荚壳，种皮中PEPCase活性高于其本身的RuBPCase活性，说明C3植物的结实器官中存在着活跃的CO2β一羧化作用。 2．大豆、小麦结实器官的14CO2暗固定量均比叶片高，因此在这些器官中存在着活跃的CO2暗固定作用，这对植物经济利用碳素提高光合同化效率和籽粒产量有着十分重要的意义，同时CO2暗固定的中间产物能参与其它代谢途径，因此这些器官中的PEPCase时作用是多方面的。 3．RuPEPCase、PEPCase在植物的生长发育过程中其活性发生明显的变化，二种羧化酶活性在生殖期最高，这对于结实器官的形成和发育是十分有意义的。 4．大豆荚果作为光合器官，具有光合同化CO2的生理生化基础—叶绿素和一足活性的PEPCase、RuBFCas e和结构基础—在一定区域细胞内存在着大量的叶绿体。小麦、大豆的结实器具有一定活性的RuBPCase和较高活性的PEPCase，能进行一定程度的光合碳同化，对作物产量的形成和贡献有着不可低估的作用。
