Ultra-Short Pulse Tracking by Using Wavelength Dispersion for a Short-Time Optical Buffer

To synchronize a control signal with a packet signal in response to changing timing jitter, we investigate ultra-short pulse tracking by using wavelength dispersion for a short-time optical buffer in an optical router.

Design on a highly birefringent and nonlinear photonic crystal fiber in the C waveband

In this paper, a novel photonic crystal fiber （PCF） with high birefringence and nonlinearity is designed. The charac- teristics of birefringence, dispersion and nonlinearity are studied by using the full-vector finite element method （FVFEM）. The numerical results show that the phase birefringence and nonlinear coefficient of PCF can be up to 4.51× 10-3 and 32.8972 w-l.km-1 at 1.55 μm, respectively. The proposed PCF could be found to have important applications in the polarization-dependent nonlinear optics such as the pulse compress and reshaping in the C waveband.

Chemical Effect Analyses of 3d Elements by Study of X-Ray Fluorescence Spectra

Spectra of KX-rays emitted from pure 3 dtransition metals and their oxide and sulfate compounds were measured using a single crystal wavelength dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(WDXRF).The measurements were performed using a ZSX-100 esequential spectrometer equipped with an RhX-ray tube operated.An accurate analytical representation of each line was obtained by a fit to a Lorentz function.The spectra were analyzed in order to examine the KX-ray peak parameters such as asymmetry index,peak energy and relative intensity ratios.The energy shifts and relative intensities weredetermined tobetter understand the chemical effect.

Impact of the self-steepening effect on soliton spectral tunneling in PCF with three zero dispersion wavelengths

This work presents a numerical investigation of the self-steepening（SS） effect on the soliton spectral tunneling（SST） effect in a photonic crystal fiber（PCF） with three zero dispersion wavelengths. Interestingly, the spectral range and flatness can be flexibly tuned by adjusting the SS value. When the SS coefficient increases, the energy between solitons and dispersion waves is redistributed, and the red-shifted soliton forms earlier in the region of long wavelength anomalous dispersion. As a consequence, the SST becomes more obvious. The findings of this work provide interesting insights in regard to the impact of the SST effect on tailored supercontinuum generation.

We demonstrate an adjustable pure dispersion slope compensating-module based on strain-chirped fiber Bragg gratings. The center wavelength of the module is preserved while the pure dispersion slope is tuned.

Optical properties and irradiation resistance of novel high-entropy oxide glasses La_(2)O_(3)-TiO_(2)-Nb_(2)O_(5)-WO_(3)-M_(2)O_(3)(M=B/Ga/In)

A new class of high-entropy oxide glasses 20LaO_(3/2)-20TiO_(2)-20NbO_(5/2)-20WO_(3)-20MO_(3/2)(M=B/Ga/In)were designed and successfully fabricated by aerodynamic containerless processing.The results show that one can control the properties and increase the functionality of glass by changing the type of M.The Vicker's hardness reaches the highest value of 6.45 GPa for glass M=B.The best thermal stability and the glass forming ability,measured using the glass-transition temperature T_(g) and the temperature gap ΔT respectively,are found in glass M=In,with T_(g)=740℃ and ΔT=72℃.The optical properties show that the as-prepared glasses exhibit good transparency and high refractive index.Especially for glass M=In,its transmittance reaches almost 78% from visible to IR region,and the value is nearly unchanged after electron beam irradiation,indicating good irradiation resistance of this high-entropy oxide glass.Furthermore,the glass M=In has the highest refractive index(n_(d)=2.46) and low wavelength dispersion(v_(d)=45.6).These results demonstrate that the conceptual design of high-entropy materials is adaptable to high performance oxide glasses,which should be promising host materials for optical applications such as smart phones with digital cameras and endoscopes.

Characteristics of the transmission spectrum of the long period fiber gratings based on the coupling of core mode to the higher order cladding modes

The characteristics of the transmission spectrum of the Long-period fiber gratings (LPFGs) based on the coupling of core mode to a higher order cladding mode (HE mode) are investigated using the coupled mode theory. This kind of LPFGs is different from that based on the coupling of core mode to a lower order cladding mode because of the effect of the coupling of core mode to EH cladding mode. When the cladding mode order is higher, the coupling coefficients of core mode to HE and EH cladding modes are comparable and both of the propagation constants of HE and EH cladding modes approach, so the spectrum has an additional loss peak. The bandwidth of LPFG based on the coupling of core mode to different cladding mode differs greatly. With the change of the mode orders from lower to higher, the transmission spectrum changes from narrow to wide and more narrow.
