Animations of compilations of the output power as a function of time series and phase plane with effects of optical feedback level, carrier current and modulation signal strength are demonstrated as a tool to give insight into the laser dynamics. Different dynamic states, including 2×, 4× multiplication and quasi-periodic and periodic frequency-locked pulsing states extended to chaotic behaviour were observed by varying the parameters of modulated frequency and optical feedback strength. The frequency-locked pulsing states were observed to exhibit a harmonic frequency-locking phenomenon and the pulsing frequency is locked to a harmonic nonlinearity in loop instead of the modulated frequency.展开更多

The CdS nanoparticles sizes were controlled by changing the reaction time of aqueous solutions of thiourea and cadmium chloride. The structure of the prepared CdS nanoparticles were tested and their optical properties were investigated and the nonlinear absorption coeffi-cients were measured using a fully computerized z-scan unit. It is found that the formation of the CdS nanos-tructuresfor are responsible for the observation of the strong tow photon absorption.展开更多

A two-steps wet etch process were used consisting of etching with 30% HF acid to remove cladding and 24% HF acid to decrease fiber core diameter. An approach for on-line monitoring of etching using 1300 nm light power transmitted in the optical fiber was used to determine the diameter of the remaining core and showed a transition between two different operation regimes of nanofiber from the embedded regime, where the mode was isolated from the environment, to the evanescent regime. The data indicated that the diameter of the silica fiber decreased linearly for both 30% and 24% HF acid with 1.2 and 0.1/zm/min grad diameter, respectively at room temperature, and more than 70% of the mode intensity could propagate outside fiber when the core diameter was less than 1μm. The results of fiber taper showed that the fiber was tapered by a factor of 20 while retaining a thin core structure and leaving about more than 85% of core structure.展开更多
