The study of structured laser beams has been one of the most active fields of research for decades, particularly in exploring the laser beams with orbital angular momentum. The direct generation of structured beams from laser resonators is deeply associated with the formation of transverse modes. The wave representations of transverse modes of spherical cavities are usually categorized into Hermite-Gaussian (HG) and Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) modes for a long time. Enormous experimental results have revealed that the generalized representation for the transverse modes is the Hermite-Laguerre-Gaussian (HLG) modes. We make a detailed overview for the theoretical description of the HLG modes from the representation of SU(2) in the Jordan–Schwinger map. Furthermore, we overview how to derive the integral formula for the elliptical modes based on the Gaussian wave-packet state and the inverse Fourier transform. The relationship between the HLG modes and elliptical modes is linked by the quantum Fourier transform. The most striking result is that the HLG modes can be exactly derived as the superposition of the elliptical modes without involving Hermite and Laguerre polynomials. Finally, we discuss the application of the HLG modes in characterizing the propagation evolution of the vortex structures of HG beams transformed by astigmatic mode converter. This overview certainly provides not only a novel formula for transverse modes but also a pedagogical insight into quantum physics.

Broadband photochromic effect on pure and rare earth doped lead lanthanum zirconate titanate (PLZT) ceramics was studied under the illumination of ultraviolet light at 360 nm. Photocarriers trapping and detrapping processes of thermal disconnected traps played the vital role in both darkening and bleaching process. The interaction between photocarrier traps and rare earth ions energy levels has been demonstrated, which influenced the photochromatic darkening performance greatly. The transformation of photoluminescence spectra in Er3+ doped PLZT ceramics also improved the physical picture of the trap’s distribution of the materials. This work could be used to modulate the photoluminescence and lasing behavior.

We demonstrate a tunable terahertz (THz) absorber based on an indium tin oxide (ITO) metamaterial. The upper ITO cross-shaped metasurface with different arm lengths is fabricated by femtosecond laser etching directly. The thickness of the middle dielectric layer is only 60 μm which makes the absorber very transparent and flexible. The experimental results show the THz resonant peaks have high-performance near 1 THz. By setting spacers of different thicknesses between the middle layer and the ITO mirror, a new type of tunable THz absorber is proposed. Its absorption peak frequency can be continuously adjusted from 0.92 to 1.04 THz between TE and TM polarization. This transparent THz metamaterial absorber is expected to be widely used in THz imaging, sensing, and biological detection.

A new architecture, naked-eye ghost imaging via photoelectric-feedback, is developed, which avoids computer algorithm processing. Instead, the proposed scheme uses a photoelectric-feedback-loop to firstly realize the correlation (multiplication) process of the traditional ghost imaging system. Then, the vision persistence effect of the naked-eye is exploited to implement the integral process and to generate negative images. Two kinds of feed-back circuits, the digital circuit and the analog circuit, are presented, which can achieve a feedback operation. Based on this design, a high-contrast real-time imaging of moving objects is obtained via a special pattern-scanning architecture on a low-speed light-modulation mask.

We analyze a feasible high-sensitivity homodyne coherent optical receiver for demodulating optical quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK). A fourth-power phase-lock loop based on digital look-up table is used. Considering the nonnegligible loop delay, we optimize the loop natural frequency. Without error correction coding, a sensitivity of -37dBm/-35dBm are achieved while the bit error rate is below 10-9 at 2.5Gbaud/5Gbaud rate. For the QPSK communication system, the bit rate is twice the baud rate.The loop natural frequency is 0.645Mrad/s and the minimized steady-state phase error standard deviation is 3.83°.

Detailed power and spectral analysis of a diode-pumped c-cut Pbnm 3 at.% Tm:YAP laser in a continuous wave (CW) operation is presented. The laser was experimentally examined in terms of the dependence on the transmittance and radius of curvature of the output coupling mirrors. At room temperature, for an output coupling transmission of 10.8%, the maximum output power of 6.35 W was obtained under a total absorbed pump power of 13.67 W with an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 46.5%. The highest slope efficiency of 60.4% was indicated. A detailed spectral analysis was presented. For its dependence on output coupler transmission, the Tm:YAP laser generates wavelengths at approximately 1940 nm or 1990 nm.

A novel four light ray path test method for measuring residual reflectance has been presented. Residual reflectance spatial distribution at cladding interface was measured using the technique. Residual reflectance could be in the order of 10-5 by matching refractive index of Nd:glass, polymer, cladding glass, and eliminating defects in adhesive layer. Residual reflection spatial distribution appears to be similar with Newton rings due to the edge surface flatness. Relationship between residual reflectance and edge surface flatness was discussed, and results revealed the significance of the edge surface flatness is very important during cladding process.

We experimentally demonstrate for the first time, an active all-optical ultrafast modulation of electromagnetically induced transparency like effect, in a hybrid device of sapphire/Si/metamaterial. From numerically simulations, it can be deducted that the tuning process is attributed to the coupling between the dark mode existed in split-ring resonators and the bright mode existed in cut wire resonators. The transmission amplitude modulation is accompanied with the slow-light effect. In addition, the ultrafast formation process is measured to be as fast as 2 ps. This work should make an important contribution to novel chip-scale photonic devices and terahertz communications.

We propose a photonic-assisted single system for measuring the frequency and phase noise of microwave signals in a large spectral range. Both the frequency and phase noise to be measured are extracted from the phase difference between the signal under test and its replica delayed by a span of fiber and a variable optical delay line (VODL). The system calibration, frequency measurement, and phase noise measurement are performed by adjusting the VODL at different working modes. Accurate frequency and phase noise measurement for microwave signals in a large frequency range from 5 to 50 GHz is experimentally demonstrated.

In this letter, we report a combination of non-invasive analysis of the cross-section structure, phase and chemical composition combining optical coherence tomography (OCT) with spectroscopic methods such as X‐ray analytical microscope (μ-XRF) and micro-Raman spectroscopy (μ-RS), which allow us to effectively and conveniently identify the colorants used for each color region and the glass-making process of an ancient multicolored stratified glass eye bead. The results reveal that the sophisticated colors of the glass bead arise from the transition metals and chemical compound crystals deliberately added in the same base glass and carefully adjusted by the glass-maker to obtain four colors. We also propose and discuss the provenance of the glass bead. It was probably introduced to the mainland of China through the Northern Silk Road from Egypt or the Eastern Mediterranean areas about 1400 years ago. The combined multi-analytical technique is the promising approach for precious cultural heritage research.

Inhomogeneity and low efficiency are two important factors that hinder the wide application of laser-induced periodic surface structures. Two-beam interference is commonly used to fabricate gratings with interference periods. This study reports regular and uniform periodic ripples fabricated efficiently by the interference of two femtosecond laser beams via cylindrical lens. The interference period is adjusted to be an integer multiple of the wavelength of surface plasmon polariton (SPP). Regular and uniform subwavelength nanogratings (RUSNGs) on a silicon wafer of diameter 100 mm are fabricated with a scanning velocity of 6–9 mm/s. Bright and pure colors (including purple, blue and red) are demonstrated on different patterns covered with RUSNGs.

A plethora of physical-layer techniques aim to enhance the performance of communication systems in several ways. Spectral efficiency and security are on the top of the list of enhancements; however, both are isolated and antagonistic islands of research. Augmented communications (ACom) is introduced in this letter as the first technique that aims to combine these two enhancements in visible light communications (VLC). The dividends of the proposed concept are demonstrated via simulations and the performance is experimentally validated. Results show that ACom can simultaneously provide both spectral efficiency and resistance to eavesdropping, while introducing minimal signal-to-noise ratio penalties.

In a single nanoscale device, surface-plasmon polaritons (SPPs) have potential to match the different length scales associated with photonics and electronics. In this work, we propose an accurate design of a plasmonic metasurface Luneburg lens (PMLL) accommodating SPPs. The simulations indicate that the fullwidth at half-maximum (FWHM) is 0.42 μm, and the focus efficiency is 78%. The characters of a PMLL have robustness to manufacturing errors. The PMLL is applied in a 10 μm long compact coupler model which couple the SPPs to the 40 nm-wide output waveguide. The couple efficiency is higher than a conventional taper coupler in a broad bandwidth. The design is compatible with standard lithography technology.

We experimentally demonstrate broadband optical detection and real-time adjustable resolution. The proposed method takes advantages of convenient to use, simple fabrication process, and real-time tunable resolution. It may guide more significant applications in optical field, and other practical scenarios like machine vision in computer.

Planar photonic crystal (PPC) cavities with high quality (Q) factors were currently designed by missing or moving air-holes. Here, we propose that cutting air-holes in PPC into semicircles could be considered as another strategy to realize and optimize cavities, presenting superiorities over cavities with missed or moved air-holes in higher Q factor and smaller mode volume (Vmode). Examples are demonstrated: (1) In a PPC lattice, cutting two adjacent air-holes promises cavity modes with Q exceeding 200,500 and ultrasmall mode volumes Vmode<0.329(λ/2n)3; (2) In a PPC waveguide, cutting two air-holes on opposite sides of the waveguide supports cavity modes with Q exceeding 104,600 and Vmode<1.22(λ/2n)3; (3) Cutting the two air-holes at the edges of a L3-type PPC cavity, the Q factor is optimized from 5,500 to 124,700 with almost constant Vmode. The concept of cutting air-holes to introduce defects in PPC promises the design of PPC waveguides with engineered transmission loss and dispersion.

This Point clouds scanned by 3D laser scanner may be affine transformed when the size and posture of the objects being scanned are different. This type of problem is common, but few algorithms can solve it. Therefore, this paper proposes a parallel registration algorithm. The algorithm eliminates the effects of the affine matrix in the point cloud, based on a simple whitening operation. Moreover, it also has strong anti-noise performance. The algorithm proposed in this paper is not only simple in structure, but also shows excellent effects in practical applications and simulations.

A multi-channel synchronous demodulation system of polarized low-coherence interferometer (PLCI) based on a matrix charge-coupled-device (CCD) is proposed and demonstrated. By using special designs, the system allows the signals from different channels to be received and demodulated synchronously. Multi-channel air pressure experiments were implemented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed system. The experiment results showed that the Fabry-Perot (F-P) sensors could be demodulated synchronously with high tolerance for light sources and sensors which indicated any sensor and light source that can be demodulated by PLCI were allowed to be employed, leading to a wide application in the field of multi-channel synchronous measurement.

Until now, a high-efficiency demodulation method for fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors is still a challenge. In this paper, by employing multi-peak FBGs, a FBG sensor with partial wavelength scan is proposed and initially demonstrated. By demodulating a near-symmetrical multi-peak FBG and an asymmetrical multi-peak FBG in the strain experiment, the sensor sensitivity of 1.02 pm/με and 1.01 pm/με are measured for the interrogation system, respectively. The average demodulation deviations for the two sensors are 1.81% and 0.4%, respectively. The proposed method is expected to realize high-efficiency and low-cost FBG interrogators.

Goodness of fit is demonstrated for theoretical calculation of z-scan data based on beam propagating in the nonlinear medium and Fresnel-Kirchhoff diffraction integral in experiments with high nonlinear refraction and absorption. The constancy of nonlinear optical parameters is achieved regardless of sample thickness and laser intensity, which clarifies the physical significance of optical parameters. We have obtained γ = 2.0 × 10-19 m2/W and β = 5.0 × 10-13 m/W for carbon disulfide excited by pulsed laser at 800nm with pulse duration 35 femtoseconds, which are independent of sample thickness and laser intensity. Affirming constancy of the extracted parameters to the incident light intensity may become a practice to verify the goodness of the z-scan experiment.

In this Letter, we propose a metagrating consisting of simple rectangle bars for nearly-unity anomalous diffraction with large deflection angle. The analysis by the scattering-matrix method shows that such exceptional beam steering derives from the couplings of the two lowest propagation waveguide-array-modes and their constructive interferences. Besides, the tolerance of the incident angle for high diffraction efficiency (e.g. > 90%) is within the range of 33°. We also discuss that such advantage can survive after considering the reasonable loss and dispersion. We envision that the proposed strategy may have wide use in the field of high-performance wavefront shaping applications.

Tracking moving particles in cells by single particle tracking (SPT) is an important optical approach widely used in biological research. In order to track multiple particles within a whole cell simultaneously, a parallel tracking approach with large depth of field was put forward. It was based on distorted grating and dual-objective bifocal imaging, making use of distorted grating to expand depth of field, dual-objective to gather as many photons as possible, and bifocal plane imaging to realize three-dimensional localization. Simulation of parallel tracking of two particles moving along z axis demonstrated that even when the two are axially separated by 10 μm, they can both be localized simultaneously with transversal precision better than 5nm and axial precision better than 20nm.

Terahertz waves could be generated through exciting a gravity-guided, free-flowing water wedge by dual-color pulse. It is not required to rotate the optimal angle comparing with water film as ionization medium. It is demonstrated more effective to generate stronger terahertz radiation that ionization position is in the front surface of the air water interface of water wedge by moving position. The effect of pulse energy on terahertz generation is also investigated, and it is observed that with the increase of pulse energy, the terahertz electric field shows a quadratic rising trend. These observations are consistent with air plasma induced THz emission.

Computationally, the calculation of computer-generated holograms is extremely expensive, and the image quality deteriorates when reconstructing three-dimensional (3D) holographic video from a point-cloud model comprising a huge number of object points. To overcome these problems, we implement herein a spatiotemporal division multiplexing method on a cluster system with 13 GPUs connected by a gigabit Ethernet network. A performance evaluation indicates that the proposed method can realize a real-time holographic video of a 3D object comprising ~1 200 000 object points. These results demonstrate a clear 3D holographic video at 32.7 frames per second reconstructed from a 3D object comprising 1 064 462 object points.

High-repetition-rate (HRR) pulsed fiber lasers have attracted much attention in various fields. To effectively achieve HRR pulses in fiber lasers, dissipative four-wave-mixing mode-locking is a promising method. In this work, we demonstrated a HRR pulsed fiber laser based on virtually imaged phased array (VIPA), served as comb filter. Due to the high spectral resolution and low polarization sensitivity features of VIPA, the 30 GHz pulse with high quality and high stability could be obtained. In the experiments, both the single waveband and dual-waveband HRR pulses were achieved. Such a HRR pulsed fiber laser could have potential applications in related fields, such as optical communications.

There are many strategies to maintain the excellent photoluminescence (PL) characteristics of perovskite quantum dots (QDs). Here, we proposed a facile and effective method to prepare cyan CsPb(Cl/Br)3/SiO2 nanospheres at room temperature. Cubic CsPb(Cl/Br)3 was obtained by adding LiCl-H2O solution and anion exchange reaction. With APTES as auxiliary agent, QDs/SiO2 composite was extracted from sol-gel solution by precipitate-encapsulation method. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images and fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR) spectra indicated the QDs were indeed embedded in silica substances. Besides, humidity stability and thermal stability shows composite possesses a great application value. Finally, cyan QDs@SiO2 powder has a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of up to 84%, the stable cyan fluorescent powder do behave a great potential to play a key role in commercial full spectrum display.

In this work, we propose a new scheme to generate frequency-doubled vortex beam from a radially poled LiNbO3 micro-ring resonator based on nonlinear Cherenkov radiation. The near infrared fundamental wave is resonant in the micro-ring, while the second harmonic is emitted from the resonator along the Cherenkov phase-matching direction. The topological charge of the emitted second harmonic vortex beam is determined by both the azimuthal order of the whispering galley modes and the number of nonlinear grating elements. The field distribution as well as the conversion efficiency of the emitted vortex beam are investigated.

A cavity-stabilized 578 nm laser is used to probe the clock transition of ytterbium atoms trapped in optical lattice sites. We obtain a Fourier-limited 4.2 Hz-linewidth Rabi spectrum and Ramsey spectrum with fringe linewidth of 3.3 Hz. Based on one of the spectra, the 578 nm laser light is frequency-stabilized to the center of the transition to achieve a close-loop operation of an optical clock. By interleaved measurement, the frequency instability of a single optical clock is demonstrated to be 5.4 × 10^(−16)/√τ.

Pulses as short as 8.1 fs were generated from a blue laser-diode pumped Kerr-lens mode-locked Ti:sapphire oscillator, with an average power of 27 mW and a repetition rate of 120.6 MHz. The spectrum at the full width at half maximum exceeds 146 nm, benefited from the dispersion management by combination of a low-dispersion fused silica prism pair and a series of double-chirped mirrors. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time to generate sub-10 fs pulses from a laser diode directly pumped Ti:sapphire oscillator.

Optical frequency combs, which are generated by the cascade of a phase modulator and a Mach-Zehnder intensity modulator, are used as a polychromatic signal source in the terahertz imaging system to improve imaging quality. Interference effect caused by the monochromatic wave has been greatly suppressed. The required optical power in the presented system is as low as ~30% of that in the system using the Er-doped fiber amplifier as source, which can reduce cost and protect photodiodes from damage. This work provides an effective, low power consumption, low cost, and easy way to realize terahertz imaging with high quality, and can be used in the future security inspection.

As the key part of chip-scale atomic clocks (CSACs), the vapor cell directly determines the volume stability and power consumption of the CSAC. The reduction of the power consumption and CSAC volumes demands the manufacture of corresponding vapor cells. However, their micro-fabrication is challenging. This overview presents the research development of vapor cells of the past few years and analyzes the shortages of the current preparation technology. By comparing several different vapor cell preparation methods, we successfully realized the micro-fabrication of vapor cells using anodic bonding and deep silicon etching. The microelectromechanical system (MEMS) fabrication process is presented in detail. It is simple and avoids weak bonding strengths caused by alkali metal volatilization during anodic bonding under high temperatures. Finally, the vapor cell D2 line was characterized via optical absorption resonance. According to the results, the proposed method is suitable for CSAC.

This paper presents a double layer structure combined with cracked cross meta-surface and grating surface to realize arbitrary incident linear THz wave polarization conversion. The arbitrary incident linear polarization THz wave will be induced the same resonant modes in the unit-cell, which results in polarization conversion insensitive to the linear polarized angel. Moreover, the zigzag-shaped resonant surface current leads to a strong magnetic resonance between the meta-surface and gratings, which enhanced the conversion efficiency. The experimental results show more than 70% conversion rate can be achieved under arbitrary linear polarized within a wide frequency band. Moreover, around 0.89THz nearly perfect polarization conversion is realized.

Exciton-polaritons offer an exceptional platform for future photoelectronic and quantum information applications. The influence of optical Stark effect on exciton-polariton in microcavity embodied with a monolayer WS2 is studied. A polarization dependent model is proposed to study the change of strongly coupled excitons and photons in WS2 microcavity. It is revealed through both steady and dynamical states analysis that an outside optical Stark pulse can effectively vary the polariton characteristics such as dispersion, exciton and photon fractions through blue shifting of excitonic resonance. Thus, the analysis and control of excitons-polaritons in a WS2 microcavity via spin-selective trigger could be achievable.

We demonstrate a 0.95 GHz repetition rate fully stabilized Yb:fiber frequency comb without optical amplification. Benefitted from the high mode power and high coherence, this comb achieved 35 dB to 42 dB signal to noise ratio on the direct heterodyne beat signals with at least 6 continuous wave lasers (at 580nm, 679nm, 698nm, 707nm, 813nm and 922 nm) while keeping >40 dB carrier envelop frequency signal. It can be used for the direct measurement of optical frequencies in visible and near-infrared wavelengths, and has a great potential on simultaneous comparison of multiple optical frequencies.

This study introduced the research into, and development of, a portable, miniaturised system for the measurement of the refractive index of sub-microlitre liquid based on a microfluidic chip. A technical method, namely, double-beam interference, was proposed for use in the measurement. Based on this, by using a laser diode as a light source, changes in refractive index were calculated by utilising a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) to detect the movement of interference fringes of the liquid. Firstly, this study simulated the effects of influencing factors on the interference infringes of two Gaussian beams, such as their spot sizes, distance between two beam spots, and detection range. Secondly, this research introduced the system design and construction of the double-beam interference method and analysed the results of refractive index tests on sub-microlitre aqueous glucose solutions with different concentrations therewith. The measurement accuracy reached 10-4 RIU. This system has a compact structure and is rendered portable by using batteries for its power supply. The entire system is designed to be a double Z-shaped structure with a length of about 15 cm, a width of 5 cm, and height of about 10 cm: it can be used to measure changes in refractive index of sub-microlitre to nanolitre liquids based on the use of a microfluidic chip.

This tutorial focuses on devices and technologies that are part of laser-based visible light communication (VLC) systems. Laser-based VLC systems have advantages over their light-emitting-diode-based counterparts, including having high transmission speed and long transmission distance. We summarize terminologies related to laser-based solid-state lighting and VLC, and further review the advances in device design and performance. The high-speed modulation characteristics of laser diodes and superluminescent diodes, the on-chip integration of optoelectronic components in the visible color regime, such as the high-speed integrated photodetector, were introduced. The modulation technology for laser-based white light communication systems, and the challenges for future development were then discussed.

We demonstrate a coherent synthesis system based on femtosecond Yb-doped fiber laser technology. The output pulse of the amplification system is divided into two replicas, and seeded into photonic crystal fibers of two parallel branches for nonlinear pulse compression. Because of the different nonlinear dynamics in the photonic crystal fibers, the compressed pules show different spectra which can be spliced to form a broad coherent spectrum. The integrated timing jitter between the pulses of two branches is less than one tenth of an optical cycle. By coherently synthesizing pulses from these two branches, 8-fs few-cycle pulses are produced.

The electronic and optical properties of the ZrS2/SnS2 van der Waals heterostructure have been investigated. We find out the formed heterostructure has an intrinsic type-I band alignment. Moreover, the characteristics of optical absorption in heterostructure can be enhanced to the amount of 10^6 in ultraviolet light region. In addition, the tuning electronic properties of ZrS2/SnS2 heterostructure are very interesting, due to the transitions from type-I to type-II band alignment can be occurred by applying an external electric field. These results suggest that the atomically thin materials ZrS2/SnS2 heterostructure will be utilized for the flexible optoelectronic applications.

We demonstrated a 2080 nm long-wavelength mode-locked Tm-doped fiber laser operating in the dissipative soliton resonance (DSR) regime. The compact all-fiber dumbbell-shaped laser is simply constructed by a 50/50 fiber loop mirror (FLM), a 10/90 FLM and a piece of large-gain Tm-doped double-clad fiber pumped by a 793 nm laser diode. The 10/90 FLM is not only used as an output mirror, but also acts as a periodical saturable absorber for initiating DSR mode locking. The stable DSR pulses are generated at the center wavelength as long as 2080.4 nm, and the pulse duration can be tunable from 780 ps to 3240 ps as the pump power is increased. The maximum average output power is 1.27 W, corresponding to a pulse energy of 290 nJ and a nearly constant peak power of 93 W. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the longest wavelength for DSR operation in mode-locked fiber laser.

The spatial resolved method, which measures the laser-induced damage fluence by identifying the location of damage point at the Gaussian beam three-dimensional direction, is demonstrated. The advantages and practicality of this method has been explained. Taking a triple frequency beam splitter as an example, the defect damage fluence can be calculated by the spatial resolved method accurately. The different defect damage performance of the triple frequency splitter was distinguished under irradiations of 355nm laser only and 532nm laser only. The spatial resolved method provides a way to obtain precise information of optical film defect information.

Compared with the extensively studied MoS2 and WS2, tungsten telluride (WTe2) owns smaller bandgap, which is applicable to near-infrared system in photodetectors, communications and ultrafast optic. In this work, the WTe2 SA with the tapered fiber structure is prepared by the magnetron-sputtering technology, which enable the prepared SA to be low in cost and has strong nonlinearity. The modulation depth of prepared WTe2 SA is measured as 31.06%. The Q-switched fiber laser operating at 1.5 μm is successfully investigated by incorporating the proposed SA into the prepared ring cavity. As far as we know, this is the first attempt of WTe2 in the Q-switched fiber laser at 1.5 μm yet.

In this paper, we have shown that giant Goos-Hänchen shift of light beam reflected at terahertz frequencies can be achieved by using a composite structure where monolayer graphene is coated on one-dimensional photonic crystal separated by a dielectric slab. This giant Goos-Hänchen shift originates from the enhancement of the electrical field owing to the excitation of optical Tamm states at the interface between the graphene and one-dimensional photonic crystal. It is shown that the Goos-Hänchen shift in this structure can be significantly enlarged negatively and can be switched from negative to positive due to the tunability of graphene’s conductivity. Moreover, the Goos-Hänchen shift of the proposed structure is sensitive to the relaxation time of graphene and the thickness of the top layer, making this structure a good candidate for dynamic tunable optical shift device in terahertz regime.

As a key figure-of-merit for high-performance microwave filters, the out-of-band noises rejection is of critical importance in a wide range of applications. This paper overviews the significant advances in the photonic microwave filters (PMFs) having ultra-high rejection ratio for out-of-band noise suppression over the last ten years. Typically, two types of PMFs, the bandpass and bandstop ones, are introduced with fundamental principles, detailed approaches, and then the cutting-edge results for noises rejection. Ultra-high noise rejection ratios of ~80 dB and >60 dB have been demonstrated for single-passband and single-stopband PMFs respectively, which are comparable with the state-of-art electronic filters operating in stringent conditions. These PMSs are also characterized by wide frequency coverage, low frequency-dependent loss, and strong immunity to electromagnetic interference, due to the intrinsic features from advanced photonics technology.

In this work, non-isothermal bleaching of Yb-Li co-doped fiber was investigated. The Yb-Li co-doped fiber was beneficial to reduce the photodarkening (PD)-induced excess loss, and had no bad effect on the temperature of thermal bleaching (TB). Photodarkened fibers were bleached with different temperature ramp rates. The higher the ramp rate, the higher the complete bleaching temperature. The activation energy of the bleaching of Yb/Al/Li fiber was calculated by fitting, which was similar to that of Yb-doped fiber. It indicated that the mechanism of mitigating PD by Li co-doping was different from that of TB, and was not subject to temperature.

The photoelectric properties of In_0.3Ga_0.7As solar cell applied in laser wireless power transmission(LWPT) was studied when irradiated by 1070nm continuous(CW) laser of various intensities. The influences of laser intensity on solar cell parameters extracted by pollination algorithm were analyzed quantitatively. Results show that conversion efficiency of the cell rose to the maximum and then decreased rapidly in the laser intensity range of 50-900mW/cm². With higher energy laser irradiation, the rise of ideality factor and reverse saturation current would lead to the degradation of voltage at maximum power point, which was the main reason for the decrease of conversion efficiency. The results provide basis for choosing the appropriate input energy in the case of different transmission systems.

Enhancing light-matter interaction in cavity quantum electrodynamics has aroused widespread interests in on-chip quantum information processing. Here we propose a hybrid nanotoroid-nanowire system to enhance photon-exciton interaction. A nanoscale gap is formed by placing a dielectric nanowire close to a dielectric nanotoroid, where the coupling coefficient between photon and emitter can achieve 5.55 times of that without nanogap. Meanwhile, the cavity loss and the spontaneous emission of the emitter will remain at small value to guarantee the realization of strong coupling. The method might hold promise for the research of nanophotonics, quantum optics and novel optical devices.

We report a theoretical demonstration for the creation of space time holes based on birefringence of reflection, transmission and the Goos H\"{a}chen shifts from a chiral medium. We observed space time holes in the reflection, transmission and their corresponding GH-shifted beams. Two space time holes are clearly detected in the regions of $0<t\leq5\tau_0$ and $-5w\leq y\leq 5w$ as well as in the regions of $-5\tau_0\leq t\leq0$ and $-5w\leq y\leq 5w$. These space time holes hide objects and information contents from observers and hackers. The objects and information contents are completely undetectable, thus events can be cloaked. The results of this paper have potential applications in invisibility of drone technology and secure communication of information in telecom industries.

Broadband transient reflectivity traces were measured for Bi2Se3 thin films with various substrates via a 400 nm pump-white light probe setup. We have verified the existence of a second Dirac surface state in Bi2Se3 and qualitatively located it by properly analyzing the traces acquired at different probe wavelength. Referring to the band structure of Bi2Se3, the relaxation mechanisms for photo-excited electrons with different energies are also revealed and studied. Our results show a second rise of the transient reflection signal at the time scale of several picosecond. The types of substrate can also significantly affect the dynamics of the rising signal. This phenomenon is attributed to the effect of lattice heating and coherent phonon processes. The mechanism study in this work will benefit the fabrication of high-performance photonic devices based on topological insulators.

Over the last years there has been tremendous progress with compact pulsed lasers based on various solid-state gain media such as crystals and glasses doped with laser-active ions. With the integration of increasingly colorful saturable-absorber materials, these small sources are capable of delivering stable pulses with duration as short as femtosecond and repetition rate exceeding ten gigahertz. These promising sources are known as solid-state waveguide lasers, which have become synonymous with miniaturization, integration, and functionality. This article overviews the progress in the development of passively Q-switched and mode-locked solid-state waveguide lasers employing diverse saturable absorbers. The most commonly used laser configurations, the state-of-the-art waveguide fabrication techniques and the experimental demonstrations of pulsed waveguide lasers are summarized and reviewed. Selected well-noted topics which may shape the future directions in this field are also presented.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted intense attention in photonics and optoelectronics for their excellent nonlinear characteristics and is applied for the generation of laser pulse. Here, a active-passive Nd:GdVO4 1.3 μm laser is realized by using an acousto-optic modulator and gold nanobipyramids absorber. The pulse width of 150.5 ns is obtained in the doubly Q-switched laser. The compression ratio and enhancement time are 82.6 % and 16. The doubly Q-switched technology compresses the pulse width, improves the peak power and stabilizes the pulse, illustrating the doubly modulation technology opens the door of controllable ultrafast lasers based on 2D materials.

Graphene, as a novel 2D material, has attracted great of interest in optoelectronics owing to its high carrier mobility and broadband absorption. However, Graphene photodetector exhibits low photoresponsivity because of its low light absorption. In this work, we designed a graphene/MoSe₂ heterostructure photodetector, which exhibits photoresponse ranging from visible to near infrared and an ultrahigh photoresponsivity up to 1:3× 10⁴A/W at 550nm. The electron-hole pairs are excited in a few layered MoSe₂ and separaed by the built-in electric field. Large number of electrons shifted to graphene while holes remain in the MoSe₂, which creates a photogating effect. Moreover, the lifetime of electrons can be greatly extended because the trap of holes in MoSe₂ delays the recombination in the circuit. This photodetector represents powerful performance in the near-infrared wavelength regime and have the potential application in many area.

This study investigates the applicability of a few-layer structure ReSe2 as a saturable absorber (SA) for demonstrating a passively Q-switched pulse laser. The ReSe2 SA had a modulation depth of 6.86%. The Q-switched experiment was successful in delivering a maximum average output power of 180 mW at the wavelength of 1906.5 nm. The optimal pulse train had a pulse width of 1.61 μs and a repetition rate of 28.78 kHz. The experiment results verify that the few-layer structure ReSe2 could behave as an excellent SA at all-solid-state lasers, increasing the selection of SA at near 2 μm laser.

Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), a typical quantum interference effect, has been extensively investigated in coherent atomic gases. In recent years, it has been recognized that plasmonic analog of atomic EIT, called plasmon-induced transparency (PIT), is a fruitful platform for the study of EIT-like propagation and interaction of plasmonic polaritons. Many proposals have been presented for realizing PIT in various metamaterials, which possess many unique characters, including the suppression of absorption of electromagnetic radiation, the reduction of propagation velocity, etc. Especially, nonlinear PIT metamaterials, obtained usually by embedding nonlinear elements into meta-atoms, can be used to acquire enhanced Kerr effect resulted from the resonant coupling between radiation and the meta-atoms, and to actively manipulate structural and dynamical properties of plasmonic metamaterials. In this article, we review recent research progress on nonlinear PIT metamaterials, elucidate their interesting properties and promising applications. In particular, we give a detailed description on the propagation and interaction of nonlinear plasmonic polaritons in metamaterials via PIT, which are promising for chip-scale applications in information processing and transmission.

In erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), erbium ions act as a three-level system. Therefore, much higher pump energy is required to achieve the population inversion in an erbium doped fiber (EDF). This higher pump energy requirement complicates the efficient design of an EDFA. However, efficient use of the pump power can improve the EDFA performance. The improved performance of an EDFA can be obtained by reducing the doping radius of the EDF. A smaller doping radius increases pump-dopant interactions and subsequently increases the pumpphoton conversion efficiency. Decreasing the doping radius allows a larger proportion of dopant ions, which are concentrated near the core, to interact with the highest pump intensity. However, decreasing the doping radius beyond a certain limit will bring the dopant ions much closer and introduce detrimental ionion interaction effects. In this paper, we show that an optimal doping radius in EDF can provide the best gain performance. Moreover, we have simulated the well-known numerical aperture (NA) effects on EDFA gain performance to support our claim.

We present a highly sensitive fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based microphone with a flat response and static pressure equalization. A very high dynamic sensitivity is achieved by a pressure sensing structure based on a carbon fiber diaphragm. Static pressure equalization is realized by a balance structure with a capillary glass tube. The resonances of the sensor are suppressed by air damping structures, and a broadened flat response is achieved. Acoustic-solid interaction model was used to analyze the response characteristics of the microphone. A sensor prototype was produced and tested, and the results are well consistent with the design. The tested sensitivity was -10 dB re 1 pm/Pa from 10 Hz to 2.5 kHz, with a fluctuation of less than ±1.5 dB. Combined with the PGC (Phase Generated Carrier)-based coherent detection scheme, the microphone can achieve a sound resolution of mPa level. The static pressure sensitivity is measured to be -0.27 pm/atm, which is 100 dB lower than the dynamic sensitivity.

We present a perfect graphene absorber with compound waveguide grating at near infrared. The analytical approach is mainly based on the coupled leaky mode theory, which turns the design of absorber to finding out the required leaky modes supported by the grating structure. Perfect absorption occurs only when the radiative loss of the leaky mode match the intrinsic absorption loss, which is also named as critical coupling condition. Furthermore, we also demonstrate that the critical coupling of the system can be robustly controlled, and the perfect absorption wavelength can be easily tuned by adjusting the parameters of compound waveguide grating.

A method for calculating atmospheric parameters measurement accuracy requirement based on polarized reflectance retrieval is proposed. The at-sensor polarization states with different atmospheric parameters content are simulated based on atmospheric radiative transfer model in order to select the key parameter affecting the polarization observation. Accuracy requirement of atmospheric parameters is derived through the polarized reflectance retrieval method. Experiment results show that retrieval accuracy of polarized reflectance of typical ground objects can be up to 90%. And the atmospheric parameters measurement accuracy requirement when the retrieval accuracy is more than 75% is derived.

In this paper, we report on a novel architecture for self-starting mode-locked figure-8 erbium-doped fiber laser using a loss-imbalanced nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) with a bidirectional output coupler. All polarization-maintaining structure is adopted. A 2×2 optical coupler with splitting ratio of 50:50 is used at the junction to form a NOLM. Another coupler with splitting ratio of 10:90 is introduced at one end of fiber loop. The 10:90 coupler plays two roles: power attenuator and bidirectional output coupler. This architecture can achieve both large modulation depth and good self-starting ability simultaneously. With this architecture, the self-starting mode locking operation is achieved easily with pump power above threshold. The clockwise and counter-clockwise mode locked output powers are 10.1 mW and 10.3 mW, respectively, with the repetition rate of 3.63 MHz. The spectral bandwidths of the clockwise and counter-clockwise mode locked output pulses are 7.4 nm and 2.9 nm, and the corresponding pulse widths of the direct outputs are 530.6 fs and 1.55 ps, respectively.

Signals from different channels show not only a pronounced modulation of incident laser beam induced by sound wave but also an excellent magnification and low image distortion of optics. Frequency-wavenumber spectrum is achieved by using two-dimensional Fourier transform of time series signals. Conversion relationship between detected signal amplitude and chord integral plasma density fluctuation is 2.35×1013m-2/mV, which promises a suitable signal level at the order of Volts of the PCI in typical HL-2A discharges.

This Letter theoretically and experimentally studies the response of photonic switching in a channel-interleaved photonic analog-to-digital converter (PADC) with high sampling rate and wide input frequency range. A figure of merit (FoM) is introduced to evaluate the switching response of the PADC when a dual-output Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) is served as the photonic switch to parallelize the sampled pulse train into two channels. After the optimization of the FoM and utilization of channel-mismatch compensation algorithm, the system bandwidth of PADC is expanded and the signal-to-distortion ratio (SDR) is enhanced.

The impact pendulum and torsion pendulum are mostly applied in impulse coupling experiments of high energy laser irradiation on space debris. It is difficult to achieve multi-pulse experiment and thus hard to analyze the multi-pulse impulse coupling effect. Here, we designed a new recoil impulse experimental measurement system of non-contact, multi-degree of freedom and multi-pulse irradiation is designed. The system used a low-pressure and low-temperature vacuum chamber to simulate the space environment, the pinning effect of magnetic levitation to achieve aluminum target suspension and high-speed cameras to record the displacement over time to calculate the impulse of target. Then the impulse coupling experiment of multi-pulse laser irradiation on aluminum target was performed. The result shows that the multi-pulse impulse coupling effect is not the linear accumulation of coupling results by every single pulse and mul-ti-pulse coefficient decreases with the increase of the number of pulses, and eventually stabilizes as the decrease getting smaller and smaller.

Photoacoustic (PA) tomography (PAT) breaks the barrier for high resolution optical imaging in strong light scattering medium, having a great potential for both clinical implementation and small animal studies. However, many organs and tissues lack enough PA contrast or even hinder the propagation of PA waves. Therefore, it is challenging to interpret pure PAT images, especially PA three-dimensional (3D) images for deep tissues without enough structural information. To overcome this limitation, in this study, we integrated PAT with X-ray computed tomography (CT) in a standalone system. PAT provides optical contrast and CT gives anatomical information. We performed agar, tissue phantom and animal studies, and the results demonstrated that PAT/CT imaging system can provide accurate spatial registration of important complementary contrasts.

The Letter reports the thermal stability and strain response of Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity under different high temperatures. The FP cavity was made by thermal regeneration of two identical cascaded fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). It is demonstrated that the FP cavity is capable of measuring temperature from 300 °C to 900 °C, with a temperature sensitivity of 15.97 pm/°C. The elongation of fiber was observed through the drifted Bragg wavelength at 700 °C or above when weight was loaded. The elongation was further inferred by the slight change in interference spectra of FP cavity at 900 °C.

By taking advantage of PDH frequency stabilization technique, frequency instability of most ultrastable laser systems is mainly limited by the thermal noise of the high reflection mirrors. In this letter, we demonstrate a proposal of making an ultrastable laser referenced to a multi-cavity, enabling a lower thermal noise limit due to the larger equivalent beam size. The multi-cavity consists of a few pairs of mirrors and a common spacer. One can stabilize the laser frequencies on these cavities, and average the laser frequencies with an optical synthesizer. In comparison with a single cavity system, relative frequency instability of the synthesized laser can be improved by a factor of the squire root of the cavity number (n). To proof this proposal, we perform an experiment to simulate a two-cavity system with two independent ultrastable lasers. These laser exhibits a frequency instability at 7E-16 for short term. Experimental results show that the relative frequency instability (Allan deviation of Δν/ν) of the synthesized laser is 5E-16 improved by a factor of √2 from a signal cavity stabilized laser. The measured noise effect of optical synthesizing is at E-17 level limited by synchronization of frequency counters, it reaches E-18 level while the lasers have lower noise level. This technique is compatible with other techniques; thus, it can gain a factor of √n on the frequency instability based on the current ultrastable lasers at the state-of-the-art level.

We report the generation of asymmetric Mathieu optical lattices: invariant intensity optical profiles that can described by three parameters. The first one describes the amount of ellipticity, the second one takes into account the degree of asymmetry of the profile, and the third parameter denotes the angular position where is localized the respective asymmetry. We propose a simple angular spectrum to generate these nondiffracting beams, and we report how changes their distribution of power and orbital angular momentum in function of their ellipticity and degree of asymmetry. We confirm the existence of these invariant beams by propagation in an experimental setup.

In this paper, a vertical-pendulum-based inclinometer based on Fiber Bragg Grating Fabry-Perot (FBG-FP) cavity is proposed. A low-damping rotation structure is used to reduce the mechanical frictions of the pendulum system and induce wavelength shift of FBG-FPs. We find that the sensitivity can be maximized by optimizing the parameters of the inclinometer. Using high-resolution demodulation system, a sensitivity of 179.9 pm/° and a resolution better than 2.0×10-2 ″ can be achieved. Experiments also show that the proposed inclinometer has good linearity and repeatability.

The fluorescence from out-of-focus region excited by the side lobes of Bessel beam is the major concerns for the light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) with Bessel beam plane illumination. Here, we propose a method of applying the subtractive imaging to overcome the limitation of the conventional LSFM with Bessel beam plane illumination. In the proposed method, the sample is imaged twice by line-scanning using the extended solid Bessel beam and the ring-like Bessel beam. By subtracting between the two images with similar out-of focus blur, the improved image quality with the suppression of the Bessel beam side lobes and enhanced sectioning ability with improved contrast is demonstrated.

We report the terahertz (THz) wave generation from single color scheme modulated by pre-ionized air plasma via an orthogonal pumping geometry. It is found that the amplitude of the THz signal generated by the pump beam tends to decrease gradually with the increase of the modulation power. We believe that the ponderomotive force plays an important role in the process of the interaction between the pump beam and pre-ionization beam. The hydrostatic state of the electrostatic separation field caused by modulation beam will directly affect the generation efficiency of the THz wave. Our results contribute to further understanding of the theoretical mechanism and expanding of the practical applications of terahertz THz wave generation and modulation.

A novel composite materials are synthesized by incorporating N-acryloylmorpholine (ACMO) in highly-concentrated phenanthrenequinone (PQ) doped poly-(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The photosensitizer concentration of PQ was increased from 0.7wt% to 1.8wt%. The doping of ACMO component results in a higher diffraction efficiency and photosensitivity than typical PQ/PMMA system. The enhanced performance of material may stem from the ACMO molecules which might open a new route for improving the holographic performance of PQ/PMMA photopolymer..

A wideband tunable optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) based on a tunable single-bandpass microwave photonic filter (MPF) and a recirculating delay line (RDL) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The MPF is formed by cascading a finite impulse response filter and an infinite impulse response filter, which can enhance the quality-factor of the MPF and suppress the side modes of the OEO. Frequency response of the tunable MPF is theoretically analyzed. By placing the MPF into OEO, tunable microwave signal from 10.3GHz to 26.7GHz and 100MHz-step tunability are experimentally demonstrated. The phase noise is -113 dBc/Hz@10kHz. The results agree well with the theory.

In-fiber integrated optics is an attempt to use silica fiber as a substrate, integrating various optical paths or optical components into a single fiber, to build a functional optical device or component, to realize a micro optical system, achieving various functions. In-fiber integrated optics is expected to be a new branch of photonics integration. This integration technique enables conve-nient light beams control and manipulation inside in one fiber. It also provides a research platform with micro and nano scale for interaction between lightwave and microfluidic maters. In this paper, we briefly summarize the main ideas and key technologies of the in-fiber integrated optics by series integration examples.

We demonstrate a fiber refractive index (RI) sensor based on excessively tilted fiber grating (ExTFG) immobilized by large-size plasmonic gold nanosells(GNSs). The GNSs are covalently linked on ExTFG surface. Experimental results demonstrate that both the intensity of transverse magnetic (TM) and transverse electric (TE) mode of ExTFG are significantly modulated by the localized surface Plasmon resonance (LSPR) of GNSs due to the wide-range absorption band. The wavelength RI sensitivities of TM and TE mode in the low RI range of 1.333~1.379 are improved by ~25% and ~14% after GNSs immobilization, respectively, and the intensity RI sensitivities are ~599%/RIU and ~486%/RIU, respectively.

In this paper, we study the molecular alignment and orientation driven by two elliptically polarized laser pulses. It is shown that the field-free molecular alignment can be achieved in a three-dimensional(3D) case while the field-free molecular orientation only along the x and y directions, and that the field-free alignment and orientation along different axes is related to the populations of the rotational states. It is demonstrated that changing the elliptic parameter is efficient for controlling both in-pulse and post-pulse molecular alignment and orientation. And the delay time also has an influence on the field-free molecular alignment and orientation.

In order to improve the morphology of microchannels fabricated by femtosecond laser ablation, the thermal process was introduced into the post-treatment processing. It was found that thermal process can not only decrease the roughness but also the width and depth of the microchannel. The change rates of width, depth, and roughness of microchannel increases with processing temperature. When we prolong the time of constant temperature, the change rate of width decreases at beginning, and then it tends to be stable. However, the change rates of depth and roughness increase, and then they tend to be stable. In this paper, we discuss the reasons of the above phenomena.

A few-mode erbium doped fiber (FM-EDF) is fabricated using MCVD in combination with liquid solution, and the core and cladding diameters of the fiber are approximately 19.44 and 124.12 μm, respectively. The refractive index difference is 0.98%, numerical aperture (NA) is 0.17, and normalized cut-off frequency V at 1550 nm is 6.81. Therefore, it is a five-mode fiber, and can be used as gain medium of higher order mode. Furthermore, a long period of fiber grating (LPFG) is fabricated, which can convert LP01 mode to LP11 mode, and its conversion efficiency is up to 99%. And the first order orbital angular momentum (OAM) is also generated by combining LPFG and polarization controller (PC). Then, an all-fiber amplification system based on FM-EDF and LPFG, for LP11 mode and first order OAM beams, is built up. Its On-Off gain of LP11 mode beam is 37.2dB at 1521.2 nm. And the variation, which transverse mode field intensity of first order OAM is increased with the increasing of pumping power, is obvious. These show that both LP11 mode and first order OAM beams are amplified in the all-fiber amplification system. This is a novel all-fiber amplification, which can be used in the optical communication fields.

The temporal profiles of high-power short-pulse lasers reflected from self-induced plasma mirrors (PM) were measured with high temporal resolution in the sub-picosecond window. The leading front shape of the laser pulse is found to depend sensitively on the laser fluence on PM surface. The spectral modulation is found to play a key role in pulse profile shaping. Our finding will extend our knowledge on properly using plasma mirror.

In this paper, we have demonstrated significant electric field induced (EFI) optical rectification (OR) effects existing in the surface layers of germanium (Ge), and measured the distributions of EFI OR signals along the normal directions of surface layers of Ge samples. Based on the experimental results, the ratios of the two effective second-order susceptibility componentsχ_zzz^((2eff))/χ_zxx^((2eff)) for Ge(001) , Ge(110) and Ge(111) surface layers can be estimated to be about 0.92, 0.91, and 1.07, respectively. The results indicated that the EFI OR can be used for analyzing the properties on surface layers of Ge, which has potential applications in Ge photonics and optoelectronics.

Optical delay lines (ODLs) are one of the key enabling components in photonic integrated circuits and systems. They are widely used in time-division multiplexing, optical signal synchronization and buffering, microwave signal processing, beam forming and steering etc. The development of integrated photonics pushes forward the miniaturization of ODLs, offering improved performances in terms of stability, tuning speed and power consumption. The integrated ODLs can be implemented using various structures, such as single or coupled resonators, gratings, photonic crystals, multi-paths switchable structures, recirculating loop structures. The delay tuning in ODLs is enabled by either changing the group refractive index of the waveguide or changing the length of the optical path. This paper reviews the recent development of integrated ODLs, with a focus on their abundant applications and flexible implementations. The challenges and potentials of each type of ODLs are pointed out.

We demonstrate a high-efficiency and high-power quasi-three-level laser based on a trapezoidal composite slab architecture with a 270 μm-thick Yb-doping surface. The design of surface-doped slab architecture, temperature effects, laser oscillator model and laser oscillator experiments with surface-doped slab as laser host media have been presented. By theoretical calculation, the temperature rise in the surface-doped slab is only seventh of that is in the bulk doped slab at the same maximum pump power of 30 kW. Finally, in the laser oscillator experiments, the output energy of 21.6 J is obtained when the pump energy is 48 J with the repetition rate of 5 Hz and pulse width of 1 ms. The optical-optical efficiency is 45%.

We propose a novel on-line beam diagnostic method based on beam splitting single-shot phase retrieval. The incident beam to be measured is diffracted into many replicas by a Dammann grating and then propagate through a weakly scattering phase plate with known structure, the exiting beams propagate along their original direction and form an array of diffraction pattern on the detector plane. By applying the intensity of diffraction patterns into an iterative algorithm and calculating between grating plane, weakly scattering plane, and the detector plane, the complex field of incident beam can be reconstructed rapidly, the feasibility of this method is verified experimentally with wavelength of 1053nm and 632.8nm.

The ablation of Sintered Silicon Carbide Ceramics by ArF excimer laser were studied. Three zones are generated: the ablation zone presented molten morphology and composed by Si and C phase; the condensation zone formed by vaporized SiC; the oxidation zone showed the characteristics of thermal oxidation. The ablation depth and oxidation range increase linearly with fluence and pulses within 0.5-4J/cm2, but the normalized ablation efficiency is constant (3.60±0.60). The theoretical photochemical ablation depth supplies 25% of the total depth at 1J/cm2 but decreases to 16% at 4J/cm2. The ablation is dominated by photothermal effect and conforms to thermal evaporation mechanism.

Previous research shows that few-cycle laser (FCL) pulses with low energy and without a bias field can be used to coherently detect terahertz (THz) pulses. As we know, it is very difficult to stabilize the carrier envelop phase (CEP) of FCL pulses, i.e. there are some random fluctuations for the CEP. Here we theoretically investigate the influence of such instability on the accuracy of THz detection. Our results show that although there is an optimum CEP for THz detection, the fluctuations of CEP will lead to terrible thorns on the detected THz waveform. In order to solve this problem, we propose an approach via using two few-cycle laser pulses with opposite CEPs, i.e. their CEPs are differed by <i>π</i> .

We demonstrate a broad bandwidth multiwavelength laser based on a bidirectional Lyot filter and semiconductor optical amplifier with a mechanism of intensity dependent loss as the flatness agent. A wide bandwidth of multiwavelength spectrum of 32.9 nm within 5 dB uniformity is obtained under optimized polarization parameters. For this case, the number of generated lasing lines is 329 with a fixed wavelength separation of 0.1 nm. The power stability of this multiwavelength laser is less than 1.35 dB within 200 minutes time frame. This shows that the bidirectional Lyot filter provides an alternative option for multiwavelength generation in laser systems.
