The results show that by properly adding a 125 nm ultraviolet pulse to the orthogonal two-color field, not only the harmonic yield is enhanced by 2 orders of magnitude compared with the original orthogonal two-color field case, but also the single short quantum path, which is selected to contribute to the harmonic spectrum, results in an ultrabroad 152 eV bandwidth. Moreover, by optimizing the laser parameters, we find that the harmonic enhancement is not very sen- sitive to the pulse duration and the polarized angle of the assisted ultraviolet pulse, which is much better for experimental realization. As a result, an isolated pulse with duration of 38 as can be obtained, which is 2 orders of magnitude improvement in comparison with the original two-color orthogonal field case.展开更多

In the experiment, an ultrafast dynamic process of air ionization induced by a single femto-second laser pulse is recorded with holography by this system, and both of intensity and phase difference images digitally reconstructed are obtained through Fourier transformation and digital faltering, which show clearly the dynamic process of formation and propagation of the plasma, with a time resolution of the order of femto-second.展开更多

These new data fill the gap between the low-v levels mainly observed by continuous wave (CW) PFOODR spectroscopy and the high-v levels above the 3s+3d limit observed by pulsed PFOODR with predissociation detection, Molecular constants are fitted below potential shelf around the 3s+3d atomic limit with previously published data (mainly observed by CW PFOODR) and these new data. RKR potential curve has been calculated with the new constants. The constants are: Te= 32127.090 cm^-1,ωe=121.4099(0.20720) cm^-1, Be = 0.116287(0.0002300) cm^-1, Re=3.551 A, An error of the RKR potential curve of J. Chem. Phys. 108, 7707 (1998) is corrected.展开更多

The momentum distribution of correlated electron along the long axis o~ the laser polarization plane shows an obvious V-like structure locating at the third quadrant, and the momentum along the short axis of the laser polarization plane are mainly distributed in the second and fourth quadrants. Moreover, we demonstrate that the Coulomb repulsion interaction plays a decisive role to the above results. By back analyzing the class/ca/ trajectories of NSDI, we find that there are two kinds of recollision trajectories mainly contribute to NSDI, and the different microscopic dynamics for the two kinds of trajectories are clearly explored.展开更多

Major attention has been paid to non-equilibrium hybrid microstructure consisting of both prior a and β phases, and a plates transformed from new β phases to probe α→β transformation characteristics in the alloy. The origin of the hybrid microstructure is attributed to the specific thermodynamic conditions induced by the pulsed laser treatment. ECC observation shows that newly formed [3 phases during laser heating prefer to nucleate and grow at the expense of edges of prior α grains rather than their interiors. EBSD analyses further reveal that orientations of the new β phases are not determined by the prior a grains according to the Burgers relationship but maintain those of the prior β phases in an epitaxial growth way.展开更多

Beneath the modification zones with common uniform α-plate structures(UPS), a layer of unreported bimodal α-plate structures(BPS) featured by coarse(submicron)plates forming multiple cores surrounded by dense fine(nanoscale) plates was found. Presence of such BPS is attributed to non-equilibrium thermodynamic conditions induced by the pulsed laser treatments. Limited diffusion of Nb due to the short pulse during laser heating allows β phases with distinctly different Nb contents to be presented: Nb-enriched prior β films and Nb-depleted β phases, transforming into the fine and the coarse plates during cooling, respectively. Orientation analyses show that both types of plates in the BPS are aroused essentially from a single β orientation, suggesting epitaxial growth of the Nb-depletedβ phases from the preexisting β films.展开更多

In the scheme, only an optical source and an SOA are needed. As there is only one wavelength included in the output doublet signal pulse, no time difference between the upper and down pulses is introduced during the transmission process. By using the software of Optisystem 7.0, the impacts of the optical power, the SOA current, the wavelength and the input signal pulse width on the generated doublet pulse are simulated and tudied numerically. The results show that when the pulse width of the input signal pulse is larger, the output signal pulse is better, and is insensitive to the change of wavelength. In addition, the ultra-wideband positive and negative monocycles can be generated by choosing suitable optical source power and SOA current.展开更多
