Study on Cavity Modes for D(H) Ion Cycloton Range Frequency Heating Scenarios in EAST

For low single-pass absorption of ion cyclotron range frequency （ICRF） wave in the EAST plasma cavity modes are expected to be excited between the low field side （LFS） antenna and the hybrid cut-off layer. The toroidal spectrum for D（H） minority heating scenarios in EAST is modeled by using FELICE （finite elements ion cyclotron emulator）, a full wave code based on plane-stratified geometry. The excitation of cavity modes is studied. The methods for suppressing cavity modes are also discussed, to increase the efficiency of minority ion heating.

High-sensitivity methane monitoring based on quasi-fundamental mode matched continuous-wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy

Continuous-wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy(CW-CRDS)is an important technical means to monitor greenhouse gases in atmospheric environment.In this paper,a CW-CRDS system is built to meet the needs of atmospheric methane monitoring.The problem of mode matching is explained from the perspective of transverse mode and longitudinal mode,and the influence of laser injection efficiency on measurement precision is further analyzed.The results of cavity ring-down time measurement show that the measurement precision is higher when the laser is coupled with the fundamental mode.In the experiment,DFB laser is used to calibrate the system with standard methane concentration,and the measurement residual is less than±4×10^(-4)μs^(-1).The methane concentration in the air is monitored in real time for two days.The results show the consistency of the concentration changes over the two days,which further demonstrates the reliability of the system for the measurement of trace methane.By analyzing the influence of mode matching,it not only assists the adjustment of the optical path,but also further improves the sensitivity of the system measurement.

Cavity-Mode Properties of Semiconductor Lasers Operating in Strong-Feedback Regime

This paper investigates the modal properties of semiconductor lasers operating in the strong-feedback regime. Analytical expressions are developed based on an iterative travelling-wave model, which enable a complete and quantitative description of a compound cavity mode in its steady state. Additional information is provided about the physical inside into a compound laser system, such as a bifurcation diagram of the compound cavity modes for full variation range （from 0 to 1） of the external reflection coefficient and a more general shape for the diagram of photon density versus mode phase - this latter will reduce to the classical ＂ellipse＂ in the weak-feedback regime. It is shown that in the strong-feedback regime, a feedback laser is characterized by a small mode number and a high density of photons. This behavior confirms previous experimental observations, showing that beyond the coherence-collapse regime, the compound laser system could be re-stabilized, and that as a result power-enhanced low-noise stable laser operation with quasi-uniform pulsation is possible with external-mirror reflectivity close to 1. Moreover, it is also shown that for a compound system operating in the strong-feedback regime, an anti-reflection treatment of a laser can significantly reduce its current threshold, and that in the absence of this treatment excitation of a minimum-linewidth mode with higher output power would be possible inside such a system. Finally, it is shown that in the weak-feedback regime except for a phase shift the iterative travelling-wave model will reduce to the Lang-Kobayashi model in cases where the product of the feedback rate and the internal round-trip time is much less than unity （that would mean in situations of as-cleaved lasers）.

A Scheme of Conditional Quantum Phase Gate for Dissipative Cavity QED System

We propose a scheme to implement a two-qubit conditional quantum phase gate via a single mode cavity and a cascade four-level atom assisted by a classical laser. The quantum information is encoded.on the Flock states of the cavity mode and the two metastable ground states of the atom. Even under the condition of systematic dissipations, this scheme can also be realized with fidelity of 98.6% and success probability of 0.767.

Generation of any superposition of coherent states along a straight line via resonant atom-cavity interaction

This paper proposes a scheme for generating arbitrary superpositions of several coherent states along a straight line for a cavity mode. In the scheme, several atoms are sent through a cavity initially in a strong coherent state. The superposition of several coherent states with desired coefficients may be generated if each atom is detected in the excited state after it exits the cavity. The scheme is based on resonant atom-cavity interaction and no classical field is required during and after the atom cavity interaction. Thus, the scheme is very simple and the interaction time is very short, which is important in view of decoherence.

Generation of SU(2)Coherent States for a Cavity Mode and a Collective Atomic Mode

We propose a scheme for generation of SU（2） coherent states for an atomic ensemble and a cavity mode. In the scheme a collection of two-level atoms resonantly interact with a single-mode quantized field. Under certain conditions, the system can evolve from a Fock state to a highly entangled SU（2） coherent state. The operation speed increases as the number of atoms increases, which is important in view of deeoherence.

Numerical analysis of microwave heating behaviours of ceramic materials in single triode cavity

A Set of high Power microwave heating system was established by the authors,which could be used in joining of ceramic materials. The key part of the system is its single-mode resonant cavity. The behaviour of heating materials is largely depend on the characteristics of resonant cavity, dielectric loss of materials, geometric factors of sample and incident microwave power. In order to better understand and control the heating process of dielectric materials bonding, numerical analysis of the heating processes of AL2O3 and Si3N4 ceramics heated in a TE10n single mode cavity was performed and some results useful for making practical heating procedures were obtained.

Investigation of transmission resonances on the one-dimensional metallic cylindrical gratings in THz frequency range

In the experiments of THz wave transmitting through the metallic cylindrical gratings fabricated by sub-wavelength brass wires, this paper reports that the discrepancy in the sharp resonances occurred as the grating perpendicular or parallel to the electric vector are observed. A simulation based on the finite difference time domain （FDTD） indicated that the enhanced transmission through the grating is attributed to the combined effects of surface plasmons and cavity modes in the perpendicular condition, while the cavity modes dominate the resonant transmission under the other conditions. Additional experimental data and calculated results show that ~1 enhanced coupling efficiency can be realized in some THz frequency, which could be applied to the design and improvement of various optoelectronic devices, or detection of biological molecule and powder samples, etc.

High refractive index sensitivity sensing in gold nanoslit arrays

The extraordinary optical transmission （EOT） phenomenon of nano-periodic aperture array in metallic film has been widely investigated and used in biosensors. The surface plasmon resonance and cavity mode in some periodic nanos- tructures, such as nanohole and nanoslit, cause EOTs at certain wavelengths. This resonance wavelength is sensitive to the refractive index on the surface of periodic nanostructures. Therefore, the metallic nanostructures are expected to be good sensing elements. The sensing performances of gold nanoslit arrays are experimentally and theoretically investigated. Three-dimensional finite difference time domain （FDTD） simulations are utilized to explore their transmission spectra and steady-state field intensity distributions. The electron beam evaporation, electron beam lithography, and ion milling are applied to the gold nanoslit arrays with different widths and periods. The sensing performances of the gold nanoslit ar- ray are characterized via transmission spectra in four kinds of refractive index samples. The highest sensitivity reaches 726 nm/RIU when the width of the gold nanoslit array is 38.5 nm.

A scheme of quantum phase gate for trapped ion

We propose a scheme to implement two-qubit controlled quantum phase gate（CQPG） via a single trapped two-level ion located in the standing wave field of a quantum cavlty, in which the trap works beyond the Lamb--Dicke limit. When the light field is resonant with the atomic transition ｜g） →← ｜e） of the ion located at the antinode of the standing wave, we can perform CQPG between the internal and external states of the trapped ion; while the frequency of the light field is chosen to be resonant with the first red sideband of the collective vibrational mode of the ion located at the node of the standing wave, we can perform CQPG between the cavity mode and the collective vibrational mode of the trapped ion. Neither the Lamb--Dicke approximation nor the assistant classical laser is needed. Also we can generate a GHZ state if assisted with a classical laser.

Impact of cavity symmetry on mode suppression and increase of free spectral range in solid-state dye microlaser

We describe modeling the solid-state dye laser with the microcavity size comparable to light wavelength. Certain symmetry in the allocation of gain material leads to depletion of odd longitudinal modes that, in turn, increases the tunability range of the microlaser. We provide simple physical explanation for the modeling results.

Multipoint observations of Pi2 pulsations and correlation with dynamic processes in the near-Earth magnetotail on March 18,2009

Simultaneous measurements from THEMIS spacecraft, GOES11 and ground stations （Canadian Array for Realtime Investiga tions of Magnetic Activity or CARISMA, and 210 magnetic meridian or MM） on March 18, 2009 allow the study of dynamic processes in the nearEarth magnetotail and corresponding Pi2 pulsations on the ground in great detail. Fast earthward flows along with traveling Alfv6n waves and fast mode waves in the Pi2 band were observed by three Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms （THEM/S） probes （P3, P4 and P5） in the nearEarth plasmasbeet. At the mid to highlatitude nightside, the CARISMA stations located near the foot points of the three probes recorded Pi2s with two periods, about 80 s after the earthward fast flows observed by the P4 probe. The longperiod Pi2 （140-150 s） belongs to the transient response Pi2 （TR Pi2）, since the travel time of the Alfv6n waves between the plasma sheet and CARISMA stations is very close to half the period of the longperiod Pi2. The shortperiod Pi2 （60-80 s） has the same period band as the perpendicular velocity of the fast flows, which indicates that it may relate to the inertial current caused by periodic braking of the earthward fast flows. The 210 MM stations located at the lowlatitude duskside also observed Pi2s with the same start time, waveform and frequency, about 120 s after the earthward fast flows. Strong poloidal oscillations are shown by GOES11 （23 MLT） and the compressional component （Bb） is highly correlated with H components of the 210 MM stations, whereas the other two components （Br and Be） are not. These results confirm that the lowlatitude Pi2s are generated by cavity mode resonance, which is driven by an impulsive broadband source in the nearEarth magnetotail.

Hydrodynamics and modeling of a ventilated supercavitating body in transition phase

Compared to other underwater vehicles, supercavitating vehicles can attain a high speed because they eliminate drag by creating a large cavity, thus establishing the so-called ＂supercavitating condition.＂ Such a cavity is difficult to develop under normal conditions, hence, ventilation is used to attain the supercavitating condition in the initial phase of flight. In this paper, we focus on the hydrodynamic characteristics of a ventilated supercavitating vehicle. First, dynamic modeling of the supercavitating vehicle is performed to calculate the hydrodynamic force/moment acting on the vehicle for a given size of cavity. We then define the relationship between the ventilation rate and the cavitation number based on an air entrainment model of the ventilated cavity. Numerical simulations were performed to analyze the physical feasibility and characteristics of the modeling. The results show that the cavity length/radius increases with the ventilation rate, proving that ventilation can be used to attain the supercavitating condition.
