Non-geometrical effects on Gaussian beams transmitting through a thin dielectric slab

It is shown that a Gaussian light beam transmitting through a planar thin dielectric slab in the air undergoes four different effects, i.e. lateral Goos-Hanchen-like （GHL） displacement, angular deflection, width modification and longitudinal focal shift as compared with the results predicted by geometrical optics. According to the Taylor expansion of the exponent of transmission coefficient when expressed as an exponential form, the lateral GHL displacement and the angular deflection are the first-order effects and can be negative or positive. The width modification and the longitudinal focal shift are the second-order effects and can also be positive or negative. Owing to the waist-width dependent term, the non-geometrical effects of transmitted beam are not identical with the non-specular effects of reflected beam. The conditions for the validity of those effects are suggested and numerical simulations are also given.

Beam transmission efficiency of the HIRFL-SSC

In this paper we address the problem of the low beam transmission efficiency of the HIRFL-SSC. The influence of the SFC-SSC energy match, the SSC RF voltage, and harmonic field in the injection area of the SSC, and the SSC central trajectory on the beam transmission efficiency have been analyzed both from the theoretical side and from the actual operating data. The main reason is that the soft-edge approximation of the magnet field （the so-called theoretical field） and the simplified calculation programs were adopted when calculating the beam center trajectory and designing the injection and extraction system, and the measured magnetic field was not used to correct the calculation results. These led to large deviations of the calculated center trajectory, and then resulted in low efficiency of the SSC beam transmission. Therefore, the re-calculation of SSC beam center trajectory and injection and extraction system, as well as the measured magnet field correction are the key points required to solve the problem.

52 m/9 Gb/s PAM4 plastic optical fiber-underwater wireless laser transmission convergence with a laser beam reducer

A 52 m/9 Gb/s four-level pulse amplitude modulation（PAM4） plastic optical fiber（POF）-underwater wireless laser transmission（UWLT） convergence with a laser beam reducer is proposed. A 52 m/9 Gb/s PAM4 POFUWLT convergence is practically demonstrated with the application of a laser beam reducer to reduce the collimated beam diameter. A 50 m graded-index（GI）-POF is employed as an underwater extender to efficiently enhance the coverage of UWLT. The performances of PAM4 POF-UWLT convergence in view of bit error rate（BER） and eye diagrams improve with the decrease of the collimated beam diameter because of the small amount of light absorbed by clear ocean water. Competent BER and eye diagrams（three independent eye diagrams） are achieved over a 50 m GI-POF transmission with a 2 m clear ocean water link.

Optical resonance with subwavelength spectral coherence switch in open-end cavity

The physical properties of light fields at the subwavelength scale have emerged as extensively pursued objectives in nano-optics,photonics,and plasmonics.Here,we report that in the paraxial regime,the spectral density and the spectral axial coherence(z-coherence)structures in a submicron range can be generated by employing a light beam with a suitably chosen spatial coherence state in a counter-propagating configuration,in an open-end cavity.It is established that while the spectral density forms an optical standing wave,the z-coherence state depends on the symmetry of the selected point pair and in particular,the phenomenon termed as periodical coherence switch is found.Our findings shed new light on the discussion of the role of spatial coherence in the photonic cavities,possibly inspiring further studies in the field of enhanced light-nanomaterials interactions by optical cavity.This provides a versatile framework for tailoring coherence in subwavelength space with promising applications in metrology and imaging.

Recalculation of the HIRFL-SSC injection and extraction system

In order to further improve beam transmission efficiency at the SSC, the beam center trajectory and injection and extraction system are recalculated based on the program group used in the final design of the GANIL accelerator, with some necessary changes and the addition of some auxiliary programs. The two different types of injection and extraction elements （the bending magnet and the inductive septum） are distinguished, and their interaction with the ambient field is considered. More focus is placed on considering the differences in the magnet field inhomogeneity of the ambient field in the located area of the inductive septum where the ends are situated in the ambient field （between the main magnet poles）. Thus the gradient magnetic field problem of the inductive septum is solved perfectly. As well as preparing the necessary auxiliary programs and taking the structural integration of the SSC magnetic field maps, the measured magnet field correction is completed. Therefore, the trajectory and a variety of injection and extraction system parameters are obtained. According to the recalculation results, the SSC beam transmission efficiency will be enhanced significantly.
