We present an optical hygrometer based on cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS). By using different absorption lines of H20 in the 1.56 and 1.36 gm regions, we are able to determine the relative concentration (mole fraction) of water vapor from a few percent down to the 10-12 level. The quantitative accuracy is examined by comparing the CRDS hygrometer with a commercial chilled-mirror dew-point meter. The high sensitivity of the CRDS instrument allows a water detection limit of 8 pptv.展开更多

A rate-equation model capable of describing the all-optical sampling mechanism is presented in this paper. Based on this model, we investigate the optimized operating parameters of the proposed system by simulating the output intensity of the probe light as functions of the input polarization angle, the phase induced by the polarization controller, and the ori- entation of the polarization beam splitter. The simulated results show that we can obtain a good linear slope and a large linear dynamic range,which is suitable for all-optical sampling. The operating power of the pump light can be less than lmW. The presented all-optical sampling method can potentially operate at a sampling rate up to hundreds GS/s and needs low optical power.展开更多

The Pad6 approximation with Baker's algorithm and the program are introduced to simulate photonic crystal structures. For a simple pole system with frequency 160THz and quality factor of 5000, the intensity spectrum obtained by the Padé approximation from a 2^8-item sequence output is more exact than that obtained by fast Fourier transformation from a 2^20-item sequence output. The mode frequencies and quality factors are calculated at different wave vectors for the photonic crystal slab from a much shorter FDTD output than that required by the FFT method, and then the band diagrams are obatined. In addition, mode frequencies and Q-factors are calculated for photonic crystal microcavity.展开更多

The VCSELs with open-annulus-distributed holes have a light output power 1.34 times higher than those with ring trenches. The 14μm-aperture devices have a light output power higher than 10mW and have a maximum of 12.48mW at 29.6mA. In addition,open-annulus-distributed holes offer bridges for current injection,so the connecting Ti-Au metal between the ohmic contact and bonding pad does not have to cross the ring trench, and it therefore would not cause the connecting metal to be broken. These VCSELs also show high-temperature operation capabilities,and they have a maximum output power of 8mW even at an operation temperature of up to 60℃.展开更多
