It can both amplify the light power and demodulate the wave-length signal. Its output power is 1000 times as high as traditional broadband light source(BBS) and it can demodulate the signal by scanning wavelength in 30 nm of bandwidth range in the situation of 1550 nm central wavelength. This kind of light source effectively solves the problem of light energy supply in more-point measurement of FBG and simplifies the structure of sensing measurement.展开更多

It is shown that quantum information encoded in the two-state DQD system can be transferred to quantum states of the cavity field with a continuous-variable basis through appropriate projective measurements with respect to the DQD.展开更多

The results show that the unification of the optimal operating point (OP) and the frequency stabilization operating point (FSP) is achievable by adjusting the proportions of neon dual isotopes accurately and tuning the cavity length with frequency stabilization system exactly. In that case, the left-rotation and right-rotation gyros can obtain the same SFC, which can decrease the magnetic sensitivity of the laser gyro efficiently. The Zeeman effect zero drift and the Faraday bias zero drift are both reduced by two orders of magnitude, while the magnetic shielding requirement of laser tube is decreased by 1-2 orders of magnitude.展开更多

The dependence of nonlinear optical processes on the incident photon energies and the polaronic effect are brought out. The linear, third order non-linear optical absorption coefficients and the refractive index changes of singlet and triplet states as a function of photon energy are obtained with and without the inclusion of polaronic effect. It is found that the geometrical confinement and the effect of polaron have great influence on the optical properties of dots.展开更多
