A scaling law of photoionization in ultrashort pulses

By means of the numerical solution of time-dependant Schrodinger equation, we verify a scaling law of photoionization in ultrashort pulses. We find that for a given carrier-envelope phase and duration of the pulse, identical photoionizations are obtained provided that when the central frequency of the pulse is enlarged by k times, the atomic binding potential is enlarged by k times, and the laser intensity is enlarged by k(3) times. The scaling law allows us to reach a significant control over direction of photoemission and offers exciting prospects of reaching similar physical processes in different interacting systems which constitutes a novel kind of coherent control.

Generation of millimeter-wave in optical pulse carrier by using an apodized Moire fiber grating

A novel scheme is proposed to transform a Gaussian pulse to a millimeter-wave frequency modulation pulse by using an apodized Moire fiber Bragg grating in radio-over-fiber system. The relation between the input and output pulses is analyzed theoretically by Fourier transformation method and the requirements for the proposed fiber grating are presented. An apodized Moire fiber Bragg grating is designed and its characteristics are studied. It is shown that the proposed device is feasible, and the new scheme is believed to be an effective solution for the generation of millimeter-wave sub-carrier in future radio-over-fiber systems.

Modal fields and bending loss analyses of three-layer large flattened mode fibers

Theoretical method to analyze three-layer large flattened mode (LFM) fibers is presented. The modal fields, including the fundamental and higher order modes, and bending loss of the fiber are analyzed. The reason forming the different modal fields is explained and the feasibility to filter out the higher order modes via bending to realize high power, high beam quality fiber laser is given. Comparisons are made with the standard step-index fiber. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Influences of CO2 laser irradiation on the structure and photoluminescence of zinc oxide thin films

CO2 laser irradiation experiments on ZnO thin films are reported. The structural, optical, luminescent and vibrational properties of the samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmittance, photoluminescence (PL) and Raman measurements. XRD results show that the crystalline of the irradiated films was improved. The (002) peaks of irradiated ZnO films shift to. higher 20 angles due to the stress relaxation in the case of laser beam irradiation. From optical transmittance spectra, all films exhibit high transmittance in the visible range, the optical band edge of irradiated films showed a redshift compared with that of as-grown films. Compared with the as-grown films, the photoluminescence emission (in particular the relative intensities of visible emissions) intensities of irradiated samples enhanced. In the Raman scattering spectral both the A I. and E modes exhibited slight Raman blueshift. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

LiB3O5晶体上四倍频增透膜设计

采用矢量法设计了三硼酸锂（LiB3O5，LBO）晶体上1064nm、532nm、355nm和266nm四倍频增透膜．结果表明，在1064nm、532nm、355nm和266nm波长的剩余反射率分别为0．0019％、0．0031％、0．0061％和0．0047％．根据容差分析，薄膜制备时沉积速率准确度控制在＋6．5％时，基频、二倍频、三倍频和四倍频波长的剩余反射率分别增加至0．24％、0．92％、2．38％和4．37％．当薄膜材料折射率的变化控制在＋3％时，1064nm波长的剩余反射率增大为0．18％，532nm、355nm和266nm波长分别达0．61％，0．59％，0．20％．与薄膜物理厚度相比，膜层折射率对剩余反射率的影响大．对膜系敏感层的分析表明，在1064nm和266nm波长，从入射介质向基底过渡的第二层膜厚度变化对剩余反射率的影响最大，其次是第一膜层．在532nm和355nm波长，从入射介质向基底过渡的第一和第四膜层是该膜系的敏感层．误差分析也表明，薄膜材料的色散对特定波长的剩余反射率具有明显影响，即1064nm、532nm、355nm和266nm波长的剩余反射率分别增加至0．30％、0．23％、0．58％和3．13％．

HfO2的纯度对紫外多层膜反射率的影响

用辉光放电质谱法和二次离子质谱仪测定了两种HfO2材料及它们相应的单层膜中的杂质含量，结果发现，无论是在体材料中还是在用电子束蒸发技术沉积的材料单层薄膜中，ZrO2都是这两种HfO2材料中最主要的杂质。而且，这两种HfO2材料中Zr含量的差别远远大于Ti、Fe含量的差别，这说明Zr含量的差别正是引起两种HfO2膜层光学性能差别的原因。用这两种不同纯度的HfO2材料与同一纯度的SiO2材料组合，沉积形成266nm的紫外反射镜，实验结果表明这两种反射镜的反射率分别在99.85% 和 99.15%左右。这个结果与依据单层膜得出的光学常数所设计的结果符合的很好。
