Controllable four-wave mixing response in a dual-cavity hybrid optomechanical system

We systematically investigate the four-wave mixing(FWM)spectrum in a dual-cavity hybrid optomechanical system,which is made up of one optical cavity with an ensemble of two-level atoms and another with a mechanical oscillator.In this work,we propose that the hybrid dual-cavity optomechanical system can be employed as a highly sensitive mass sensor due to the fact that the FWM spectrum generated in this system has a narrow spectral width and the intensity of the FWM can be easily tuned by controlling the coupling strength(cavity-cavity,atom-cavity).More fascinatingly,the dual-cavity hybrid optomechanical system can also be used as an all-optical switch in view of the easy on/off control of FWM signals by adjusting the atom-pump detuning to be positive or negative.The proposed schemes have great potential applications in quantum information processing and highly sensitive detection.

Dual-cavity beam arrival time monitor design for the Shanghai soft X-ray FEL facility

Free electron lasers provide high-power and ultrashort pulses with extreme brightness. In order to improve a facility's capabilities and explore the possibility of performing high-resolution time-resolved experiments, a beam arrival time resolution under 100 fs is required. In this article, a novel beam arrival time monitor(BAM)equipped with two cavities has been designed and a beam flight time measurement scheme based on the BAM prototype has been proposed to estimate phase jitter in the signal measurement system. The two BAM cavities work at different frequencies and the frequency difference is designed to be 35 MHz. Therefore, a self-mixing intermediate frequency signal can be generated using the two cavities. The measured beam flight time shows a temporal deviation of 37 fs(rms).

Fabrication and Investigation on Double-Hollow Shell CoFe Oxide@TiO_(2) Nanocube with Superior Electromagnetic Properties

Electromagnetic wave absorbing materials are urgently required in the fields of medicine,communication,and military.However,the thickness,weight,narrow effective bandwidth,and weak absorbing ability of the materials restrict their further application.In this work,a double-layer hollow nanocube with a dielectric titanium dioxide(TiO_(2))shell and a magnetic CoFe oxide inner shell is prepared.Prussian blue(PB)is prepared by the hydrothermal method,and used as the template to prepare PB@CoFe PB analogue(PBA).After selective etching and further calcination,hollow CoFe oxide particles are obtained.The obtained particles are then coated with SiO_(2)and TiO_(2),respectively,and the intermediate layer is dislodged to obtain the final CoFe oxide@TiO_(2)with the hollow double shell structure.The obtained double-layer hollow structure can effectively capture the incident electromagnetic waves,and increase the propagation path.Moreover,the obvious enhancement of interface polarization and the improvement of impedance matching enhance the wave absorbing ability of the material.The analysis results show that,the structure is stable and the dispersion is good.The maximum reflection loss(RL)at 10 GHz is as high as-46.1 dB with the sample thickness of 1.6 mm.The light-weight and high-efficiency CoFe oxide@TiO_(2)absorber is promised to be used in commercial and military aerospace fields.
