Coherent population transfer with chirped few-cycle laser pulses in an excited-doublet four-level system

The behavior of population transfer in an excited-doublet four-level system driven by linear polarized few-cycle ultrashort laser pulses is investigated numerically. It is shown that almost complete population transfer can be achieved even when the adiabatic criterion is not fulfilled. Moreover, the robustness of this scheme in terms of the Rabi frequencies and chirp rates of the pulses is explored.

Environmentally induced physiological responses that determine fish survival and distribution: a review

Limitation to an aqueous habitat is the most fundamental physiological constraint imposed upon fish, phrases such as 'like a fish of water', convey our acceptance of the general unsuitability of fish for terrestrial existence. The constraints that restrict fish to an aquatic habitat relate to respiration, acid-base regulation, nitrogenous excretion, water balance and ionic regulation. A fish not adapted for an amphibious lifestyle when removed from water, becomes hypoxic and hypercapnic and soon succumbs to respiratory acidosis because the problem of excretion of H super(+) and C0 sub(2) are more immediate than lack of oxygen. This happen because fish gills collapse in air, while the ventilator arrangements that moves an incompressible medium (water) oven them become ineffective

不同烧蚀条件下飞秒激光脉冲诱导ZnO纳米结构研究

烧蚀条件对飞秒激光脉冲诱导氧化锌纳米结构有重要影响。研究了800nm,150fs,250kHz的飞秒激光脉冲分别在空气中,去离子水中以及无水乙醇中垂直聚焦于氧化锌晶体表面,诱导形成不同形态的纳米结构。实验结果表明,在空气中利用飞秒激光脉冲辐照样品表面,形成了周期为180nm的纳米线;在去离子水中辐照诱导形成了由氧化锌纳米线聚集而成的"纳米球";在无水乙醇中形成出现分叉结构的纳米线。拉曼光谱分析辐照前后晶体晶相结果表明,形成的纳米结构相对于辐照前特征峰437cm-1强度有所下降,在570cm-1处的峰值则显著增强。分析了在各种烧蚀条件下诱导形成纳米结构的演化过程以及物理机理。

Computation of the ambiguity function for circularly symmetric pupils

A method of computing the ambiguity function (AF) for a circularly symmetric pupil function is presented. The AFs of a clear aperture and two shaded apertures are considered in detail and an explicit expression for the first of these AFs is given. We explain these results in the context of the well-known optical transfer function theory and show a primary application of these computations. A good analytic approximation is also introduced, providing an alternative method for calculating the AF, in a simpler way.

基于联合变换相关器的Dempster-Shafer理论计算

提出了用联合变换相关器（JTC）来实现证据理论概率分配函数正交和的光学计算，在理论上对于如何用联合变像相关器实现证据理论分配函数正交和作了详细的讨论，并作了相应的仿真测试，结果显示该方法是可行的。与John Caulfield提出的用声光器件矢量外积实现的正交和计算相比，在该结构中由于采用二进制编码的数值计算，因此其计算精度得到了提高，同时对联合变换相关器输入端二进制编码的数值空间位置的适当调整可以直接得到所需要的证据理论正交和矢量，在处理步骤上得到了简化。

放大自发辐射对全固态激光器调Q性能的影响

为定量分析放大自发辐射（ASE）对调Q激光器性能的影响，在调Q激光速率方程中引入放大自发辐射项。并在合理的近似下求解，给出了激光二极管（LD）端面抽运电光调Q运转的固体激光器反转粒子数的建立过程，分析了放大自发辐射对激光上能级储能效率的影响及考虑放大自发辐射时调Q激光器输出脉冲宽度和脉冲能量随抽运功率的变化关系。结果表明，由于放大自发辐射的存在，上能级储能效率降低，且在一定的抽运功率下，调Q输出脉冲宽度变宽，脉冲能量下降。用LGS（La3Ga5SiO14）晶体作电光调Q元件，在激光二极管抽运的Nd：YVO

飞秒激光辐照ZnO晶体

利用飞秒激光对ZnO晶体进行辐照，对辐照前后的晶体样品进行发光光谱及拉曼光谱检测。辐照后发光光谱的某些发光峰强度有明显增强，但未产生新的发光峰，表明没有新的缺陷结构产生，但晶体内锌空位、间隙位锌、间隙位缺陷浓度增加。拉曼光谱结果表明，辐照后ZnO晶体未产生相变，但随着辐照激光功率的增大，拉曼峰327 cm-1，437 cm-1强度明显减弱，表明在飞秒激光辐照作用下氧化锌的结晶程度下降。但574 cm-1峰值却随着辐照功率的增大而变大，分析表明该拉曼峰很可能是由于晶体内间隙位缺陷所致。同时实验过程中观察到飞

The spectroscopic properties of Er3(+)-doped TeO2-Nb2O5 glasses with high mechanical strength performance

(100 - x)TeO2 - xNb(2)O(5) (x=5-20) mobic tellurite glasses doped with 0.5 mol.% Er2O3 were synthesized, and their thermal, mechanical, and spectroscopic properties were measured and compared to the properties of the typical 75TeO(2)-20ZnO-5Na(2)O (TZN) tellurite glass. The refractive index (n(d)), density (p), and glass transition temperature (T-g) of bulk glasses increase with the Nb2O5 content. The Vickers microhardness (H-v) of bulk glass in niobic tellurite glasses also increases with the Nb2O5 content. The values (2.5-3.2 GPa) of H, in the niobic tellurite glasses are 47-88% larger than that (1.7 GPa) in TZN glass. The effect of Nb2O5 content on absorption spectra, the Judd-Ofelt parameters Omega(t) (t = 2, 4, 6), fluorescence spectra and the lifetimes of Er3+ :I-13/2 level were also investigated, and the stimulated emission crosssection was calculated from McCumber theory. With increasing Nb2O5 content in the glass composition, the Omega(t) (t = 2, 4, 6) parameters, fluorescence full width at half maximum (FWHM) Of I-13/2 of Er3+ increase, while the I-4(13/2) lifetimes of Er3+ decreases. Compared with TZN glass, the gain bandwidth properties of Er3+-doped TeO2-Nb2O5 glass is much larger than in tellurite glass based TeO2-ZnO-Na2O system, bismush-based glass, germanate, and silicate glasses, which indicates that TeO2-Nb2O5 glasses are better choice as a practical available host material for broadband Er3+-doped amplifier.

Characteristics and optical spectra of V : YAG crystal grown in reducing atmosphere

A V:YAG single crystal was grown by the temperature gradient technique (TGT) with graphite-heating elements. The as-grown crystal has different colorations of light green and yellow brown in different parts. Distribution of vanadium in three samples with different colorations was determined by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. From the absorption spectrum of the yellow-brown part with peaks at 370, 820 and 1320nm, we can deduce that the reducing atmosphere of carbon diffused from the heating elements can increase the concentration of tetrahedral V3+ ions and induce F color centers. All three samples exhibited light-green color after annealing in vacuum or H-2 atmospheres. In the vacuum annealing process, the V3+ ions in tetrahedral positions were enhanced through two methods: one method is the exchanging of octahedral V3+ and tetrahedral Al3+ ions in neighboring sites under thermal excitation, the other is that F color centers were thoroughly eliminated and the escaped free electrons could be captured by V ions with higher valance states to further improve the concentration of tetrahedral V3+ ions. Besides the two mechanisms, the H-2 annealing process greatly improved the V-tetra(3+) ions through the reduction effect of H-2. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Los animales acuáticos en San Ambrosio: simbolismo cristiano e ictiología

[ES] El presente trabajo examina los principales procedimientos de que se sirve san Ambrosio en la homilía de su «Hexameron» dedicada a los animales acuáticos. Se destacan aquellos desarrollos originales con respecto de su principal modelo, Basilio de Cesarea, en especial las ampliaciones de las caracterizaciones de algunos animales, y se proponen ejemplos de su pervivencia en otros tratadistas medievales. El público diverso a quien se dirigía este sermón de cuaresma explica tanto esas digresiones muchas veces pintorescas como otras más conceptuales, en las que el simbolismo cristiano se apropia de las bases de los naturalistas clásicos, desde Aristóteles a Plinio.
