This device consists of three parallel planar waveguides, in which the energy is transferred in a coherent fashion, so that the direction of propagation is maintained. For complete energy transfer to occur between the neighbor waveguides, they must have identical propagation constants. Thus, indices and height of the waveguide layers are controlled very carefully to provide matching propagation constants. The total length of BS is only about 7 μm. The simulation and analysis show that the BS for transverse magnetic (TM) light at a wavelength of 1.55 μm is designed to split incident light into three beams, whose power is 20, 34, and 18%, respectively. The wavelength bandwidth reaches up to 52 nm with an increase in wavelength from 1.49 to 1.542 μm, in which the maximum power difference of three output ports is less than 10%; moreover, the minimum is nearly 0. BS designed here particularly suits for optical communication and optical information processing..

Both analysis and simulation results show that the bias voltage and the driver signal amplitude control can be achieved independently between these cascaded modulators with only one tap point and one control configuration. Finally, the influence of the bit number of A/D converter (ADC) for asynchronous sampling is also discussed for the practical implementation..

The transmission spectrum of one-dimensional photonic crystals with a defect layer of nanoparticle magnetic fluid is calculated numerically using the transfer matrix method. The results indicate that the wavelength of defect localized modes moves to short wave with the increasing of magnetic field intensity. The maximum variation is 7 nm. When the thickness deviation of defect layer is in the range of 5 nm, the variation of the wavelength is 6 nm. The bandwidth of the defect localized modes is 0.2 nm and its quality factor is of the order of 103. Therefore, the variation of the wavelength of defect-localized modes, which is caused by the thickness deviation of a defect layer, could be compensated by changing the magnetic field. In this study, the defect-localized modes with a certain wavelength are realized..

As a result, high conversion efficiency of linear EO effect can be performed. In addition, we discuss the influence of the linear chirp parameter on the temporal evolutions of the output o- and e-light pulse..

Pulse broadening and spectral blue shiWe investigate the ultrafast nonlinear phenomena of picosecond chirped non-ideal hyperbolic secant pulse evolution in silicon photonic nanowire waveguides with sum frequency generation cross-correlation frequency-resolved optical gating and nonlinear Schr?dinger equation modeling. Pulse broadening and spectral blue shifts are observed experimentally, and they show remarkable agreements with numerical predictions. Nonlinear losses dominate the pulse broadening and limit the spectral bandwidth broadening induced by self-phase modulation. The initial chirp results in noticeable bandwidth compression and aggravation of blue shifts in the presence of nonlinear losses, whereas it plays a negligible role in the output pulse temporal intensity distribution..

Zhiyu Zhang, and Ligong Zheng
Demand for large-scale off-axis aspherical mirrors is increasing in next-generation space-borne optical imaging systems.

In this paper, a variable-axis single-point grinding strategy is developed for precisely, cost-effectively figuring silicon carbide (SiC) mirror blanks that have high-order high-gradient off-axis aspherical surfaces on a precision five-axis machining center. The grinding strategies also include tool path generation/optimization, feeding direction control and wheel wear reduction/compensation. Applying the developed grinding strategies, by only one grinding cycle, a near-circular Φ372-mm SiC mirror blank is successfully grounded to 7.8 μm in peak to valley, which is comparable to the reported machining accuracy of the BoX? ultraprecision grinding machine. Moreover, the wheel need not have to be dressed during the whole grinding cycle due to the rotary ultrasonic grinding method. Therefore, this paper offers an efficient and economic solution for grinding off-axis aspherical and free from sur to micron-level accuracy, thus significantly decreasing the subsequent lapping/polishing production cycle time..

The concept of filling factor is introduced to evaluate the removal function obtained from the experiments mentioned in the paper. To improve the filling factor and characteristics of the polishing pad, the pad structure is optimized according to the experimental results of the round-pellet pad. The removal function of the new polishing pad is simulated with MATLAB. The stability experiment is carried out in full aperture at the same time. The fixed abrasive and the slurry abrasive polishing experiment both are performed under the same conditions. Finally, the structural similarity index is introduced to evaluate the similarity between simulations and experiments. The best structural similarity index of multi-square-pellet pad is 0.4257. The comparison results are acceptable and positive. The optimized fixed abrasive polishing pad is proved to be highly promising for large-diameter SiC mirror fabrication..

The influence on the imaging contrast introduced by dynamic ocular aberrations should be considered. The qualitative analysis of the influence is discussed. Detail simulation and quantitative analysis are presented. According to our simulation results, when residual aberrations are reduced to less than 5%, it has a little impact on the contrast of DF imaging; while, on increasing the aberrations up to 10%, the contrast of the DF imaging falls off sharply..

Jingjing Yu, Huajin Chen, Xinning Yu, and Shiyang Liu
In present work, we demonstrate that when a transverse magnetic (TM) Gaussian beam is incident to a magnetic metamaterial (MM) slab, it can be completely absorbed at a particular direction, resulting in a unidirectional perfect absorption. The unidirectionality is due to the time reversal symmetry (TRS) breaking natureIn present work, we demonstrate that when a transverse magnetic (TM) Gaussian beam is incident to a magnetic metamaterial (MM) slab, it can be completely absorbed at a particular direction, resulting in a unidirectional perfect absorption. The unidirectionality is due to the time reversal symmetry (TRS) breaking nature of the MM; while the perfect absorbing effect is explained by the multiple scattering theory and the effective medium theory. By tuning the magnitude and the orientation of the external magnetic field, the working frequency can be adjusted and the unidirectionality can be reversed. Accordingly, we can design tunable compact optical devices to achieve unidirectional perfect absorption..

A simple, low-cost, and high-efficient method is used for the fabrication of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates. Silver particles deposited on porous silicon are prepared as a highly efficient SERS substrate by direct immersion of porous silicon in silver solution. The SERS measured with rhodamine 6G aA simple, low-cost, and high-efficient method is used for the fabrication of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates. Silver particles deposited on porous silicon are prepared as a highly efficient SERS substrate by direct immersion of porous silicon in silver solution. The SERS measured with rhodamine 6G as a target molecule is affected by the morphology of silver particles on the top of porous silicon layer. The effect of solution concentration, dipping time, and thickness of porous layer on the morphology of silver particle is investigated. Highly efficient SERS spectra are observed for substrates with porous layer thickness of about 3 μm and incubated in the 50 mM AgNO3 solution for 3 minutes. The SEM images of the substrates show that there are many small Ag particles with the size of a few nanometers among large Ag particles with the size of several microns..

The resonance peaks in the reflection angle spectra depend on different refractive indices from 1.30 to 1.38, which are calculated and compared in three typical wavelengths of 532, 632.8 and 780 nm, respectively. Compared with 532 nm, the incident light of 780 nm results in an unstable sensing stability, but the resolution enhances two times. The sensitivity of this refractive index sensor at an incident angle of 45° is about 236.7 nm/RIU which uses 532-nm laser as the light source..

Based on the Doppler effect and heterodyne technology, loaded with the information of length variation to the frequency difference of the multibeam laser heterodyne signal by the frequency modulation of the oscillating mirror, this method can obtain many values of length variation caused by different voltages after the multibeam laser heterodyne signal demodulation simultaneously. Processing these values by a weighted-average method, it can obtain length variation accurately, and eventually obtain value of electrostriction coefficient of metal by the calculation. This novel method is used to simulate measurement for electrostriction coefficient of PZT under different voltages by MATLAB, and the obtained result shows that the relative measurement error of this method is just 0.98%..

The experiment shows that the photo-induced current shows nearly linear response to the bias voltage. The photocurrent depends on the laser illumination spot position, with the maximum photocurrent occurring at the metal–film interface, while the minimum photocurrent is observed between two electrodes. We are attributing this photo-generated exciton due to Schottky junction between Al electrodes and the CNTs, and electron's concentration effect. The sample device shows photo responsibility of 521 mA/W at a bias voltage of 2V, which indicates that this device can be developed as a position-sensitive photodetector..

Using the Fourier transform theorem and the definition of correlation function, the power spectrum function in the stationary condition is deduced. The effects of pulse shape, pulse duration and the windowing are included. The spectrum width resulted from the turbulence is given under Kolmogorov turbulence model. Based on the power spectrum theory, the spectrum broadening by different pulse shapes and pulse durations are calculated. To validate the accuracy of the theory and usage in the retrieval of turbulence parameters, the numerical simulations of the echo signal are carried out in turbulence conditions. The statistics characteristics of the spectrum broadening from laser pulse shapes and durations are inverted and compared. The results show that the spectrum broadening varies greatly due to the selection of pulse shapes and pulse durations, and the numerical simulation is in accordance with the theory results..
