Guoyue Fu, Guizhong Zhang, Shenghua Zhang, Wei Shi, and Jianquan Yao

In addition, although the standard semiclassical rescattering model (SRM) has simplified actions of electrons, it fails to take complex Coulomb interaction into account. Different from existing numerical correction, this paper carries out an analytical approximate treatment of Coulomb interaction during the ionization, introduces it into SRM, and successfully constructs an analytically-Coulomb-corrected SRM (AC-SRM). Based on AC-SRM, the systematic shifts of interference patterns caused by spiderlike PMDs and Coulomb interaction are simulated and calculated. Furthermore, through the classical phase, time-dependent Schr?dinger equation (TDSE), electron orbit, and other methods, this paper quantitatively analyzes the shifts and explores the corresponding mechanism. The results show that the proposed classical phase method is the most sensitive to the Coulomb interaction in the spiderlike PMDs, especially to the first interference minima, and the accurate TDSE values verify the correctness of simulated results obtained by AC-SRM..

Zhen Guo, Lihua Bai, Keying Liu, and Yanwen Shen

The results show that for the determined laser intensity, the yield of NSDI decreases significantly with the increasing laser wavelength, which is caused by the diffusion effects of electron wave packets. It is also found that the ionization mechanism of NSDI is affected by the laser wavelength. Collision excitation ionization becomes increasingly dominant with the rising laser wavelength, which is related to the return trajectory and return energy of the first electron. At the same time, the electron momentum distribution of NSDI is discussed in this paper. The electron momentum distribution varies significantly with the laser wavelength, and the longer laser wavelength leads to clearer "rotating three-lobed fan-like" structures..

Phase grating (PG) mark is a key component of a micro-displacement measurement system. In this paper, a design method of PG mark in resonance domain combining rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) method with differential evolution algorithm is proposed to address issues including insufficient calculation accuracy of sPhase grating (PG) mark is a key component of a micro-displacement measurement system. In this paper, a design method of PG mark in resonance domain combining rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) method with differential evolution algorithm is proposed to address issues including insufficient calculation accuracy of scalar diffraction theory and time consuming of parameter traversal design method. Firstly, according to the self-reference interference displacement measurement model, the maximum sum of measured optical signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is regarded as the evaluation function of grating mark design. The relationship between the number of spatial harmonics and calculation accuracy in RCWA method is studied under different incident light wavelengths, polarization states, and grating periods. In view of the measurement requirement of multi-wavelength illumination micro-displacement, the proposed method is used to design the mark, and it is compared with conventional design methods. The results show that for the PG with period of 3.2 μm, the duty cycle of the grating is 0.484, and the groove depth is 161.5 nm under transverse magnetic (TM) light. Furthermore, the sum of SNR reaches the maximum value of 586.63. Compared with conventional design methods, the proposed method shortens the time in designing the PG mark to 0.2%, and the maximum improvement ratio of the sum of SNR reaches 24.4%..

Parallel Splicing Method for Holographic Gratings
Guolin Qian, Jianhong Wu, and Chaoming Li
Diffracted wavefront aberration and distribution of far-field diffraction light are important manifestation for the quality of pulse compression gratings with a large aperture. In order to optimize the energy distribution of far-field light spots of splicing gratings, this paper proposes a parallel splicing method for Diffracted wavefront aberration and distribution of far-field diffraction light are important manifestation for the quality of pulse compression gratings with a large aperture. In order to optimize the energy distribution of far-field light spots of splicing gratings, this paper proposes a parallel splicing method for gratings. Grating parallel splicing and grating aligned splicing are simulated under different aberrations, and the energy distribution of far-field diffraction light spots of the corresponding wavefront is calculated. The statistical results show that the peak valley (PV) value of the wavefront of gratings with parallel splicing is smaller than the that of gratings with aligned splicing. However, the energy distribution of the far-field scattering light spots of gratings is related to the type of aberrations and the modes of splicing. Experiments are carried out on gratings with holographic exposure splicing, and the results show that grating parallel splicing method can not only reduce the PV value of the -1st order diffracted wavefront aberration, but also improve the energy concentration of far-field diffraction light spots. Therefore, it provides a new method for holographic splicing gratings..

Qiquan Wang, Baojian Wu, and Xinrui Jiang
In order to control the linear polarization (LP) mode in few-mode erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (FM-EDFAs), the dependence of mode field distribution and effective refractive index in optical fibers with elliptical cores on the elliptical parameter (the ratio of the major to minor axis length of the elliptical core) isIn order to control the linear polarization (LP) mode in few-mode erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (FM-EDFAs), the dependence of mode field distribution and effective refractive index in optical fibers with elliptical cores on the elliptical parameter (the ratio of the major to minor axis length of the elliptical core) is investigated by multi-physics field simulation software. When the elliptical parameter is more than 1.050, TM01 and HE21o, as well as TE01 and HE21e can be expressed by LP11 odd and even modes which have an effective refractive index difference of larger than 10-4, with negligible mode crosstalk. This paper approximately constructs the mode field in an optical fiber with an elliptical core through the superposition of the LP modes, and compares the gain errors calculated by the approximate LP mode field and the precise mode field in the active fiber with an elliptical core. When the elliptical parameter is less than 1.250, the three-mode gain error calculated by the approximate LP mode field is smaller than 0.5 dB. The results show that the approximate LP mode field can greatly reduce the design complexity of FM-EDFAs with elliptical cores during analysis..

A central refractive index depressed few-mode erbium-doped fiber (FM-EDF) can change the number and cut-off order of transmission modes, and has an excellent performance in terms of mode field modulation and gain equalization.

In this paper, the equivalent refractive index theory is employed to describe the cut-off characteristics of optical fiber modes, and the changes of modes during the transition from the traditional step-index fibers to ring-core fibers are studied. The results show that when the central depression is larger than 0.012, the optical fiber only supports LPn1 mode transmission and makes the field energy of LP01 mode shift away from the central areas. Additionally, when the optical fiber is used in signal amplification areas, and there is a corresponding linear relationship between the refractive index depression and the radius of the doped region, the differential modal gain can be kept below 2 dB. A homemade central depressed FM-EDF is used to test the gain characteristics of LPn1 mode. The experimental results show that the gain of all signal modes is higher than 18 dB, and the differential modal gain is 1.3 dB..

Therefore, a method for calibrating the distance between the optical center of camera and the rotation axis based on the principle of binocular vision is proposed, and the corresponding mathematical model is established, with the analytical expression deduced. The turntable drives the camera with known internal parameters to rotate once, and two target images are shot. Then, the distance between the optical center of camera and the rotation axis can be calculated according to the image coordinates of the feature points on the target images, their corresponding spatial distance, the rotation angle, and the internal parameters of the camera. As a result, computer simulations and experiments verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, and the calculation results can be used to align the optical center of camera with the rotation axis in the rotating vision measurement system, with an alignment accuracy of 0.16 mm..

Xinjun Wan, Yang Gao, Xiaoxiao Wei, Zhenlei Wang, and Jiaxin Wang

The error of the instantaneous photoelastic phase-shifting method in a circularly polarized field is primarily caused by a mismatch between the wavelength of the quarter-wave plate and the light source. Based on the Stokes vector and Mueller matrix, this paper theoretically derives the error and compensation equations of the photoelastic properties, and discusses the error distribution of the stress direction angle and phase retardation of samples. The results show that the isochromatic fringe error is directly proportional to the mismatch value. In addition, the isoclinic fringe error is nonlinear, but it is in direct proportion to the cosine of the mismatch value and inverse proportion to the difference between two light intensities. Furthermore, the paper analyzes the influence of the spectral width of the light source on the compensation effect, and finds that the spectral width is directly proportional to the wavelength and inversely proportional to the mismatch error. Finally, the correctness of the error analysis and compensation method is verified through the simulations and experiments of the diameter-stressed disk, and the isoclinic separation in the stress direction is discussed..

In this study, a two-dimensional particle simulation program is employed to investigate the radiation characteristics of the HHG by the plasma waveguide driven by an ultra-short ultra-intense laser pulse and the related dynamic behavior of the electrons. The influences and regulation laws of key parameters, including driving laser intensity and plasma density, on the conversion efficiency and ellipticity of the HHG are discussed, and their underlying physical mechanisms are analyzed by the Baeve-Gordienko-Pukhov (BGP) theory. This study provides a novel technical route for developing high-brightness, ultra-short ultra-fast, and circularly polarized mesa-type radiation sources in the wavelength range from deep ultraviolet to soft X-ray and is thus expected to further facilitate the development of ultrafast ultra-high-sensitivity techniques for chirality detection..

Therefore, we build a partially coherent superposition model for the two modes with opposite chirality and the same order, and investigate the superposition characteristics of the modes under continuous and passively Q-switched operation separately through experiments. Under a low-power pump, the modes coherently superpose to form petal-like light spots with the orientation determined by the initial phase difference under continuous operation. However, under Q-switched operation, the orientation of the petal-like light spots changes randomly with the pulse train. Under a high-power pump, the two modes superpose incoherently and present ring-shaped light spots without vortex phases, which is due to the random phase fluctuation caused by fierce mode competition. The mode chirality can be controlled by the tilted output mirror and the passive Q-switch to generate continuous vortex beams for the

The continuous development of optical communication requires faster electro-optic responses of liquid crystal materials. Here, we systematically explore the electrical modification of the orientation fluctuations and the uniaxial order parameter in six negative NLCs by applying electric fields perpendicular to the average molecular orientation and using a special incidence of light. Experimental results show that the switching-on time and switching-off time of the electro-optic responses are smaller than 350 ns. The field-induced birefringence change rate of NLCs grows as the dielectric anisotropy increases. The maximum field-induced birefringence change rate is proportional to both the applied electric field and the nematic dielectric anisotropy..

With the saA sub-terahertz on-chip transmission line based on spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) is proposed, and its structure is designed and processed by InP technology. In order to reduce the area occupied by the SSPPs structure with the conventional rectangular grooves, a folded SSPPs structure is proposed. With the same asymptotic frequency, the area occupied by the proposed structure is reduced by 57.2%. In addition, the efficient excitation of the folded SSPPs transmission line is realized by the grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) and a gradient transition structure. The SSPPs transmission line is measured by a terahertz on-chip test system. Test results show that the insertion loss of the SSPPs transmission line is less than 3 dB/mm with the frequency band ranging from 110 to 170 GHz, and the return loss is better than 12.5 dB, which is in good agreement with the simulated ones..

Based on the Mie theory, this paper utilizes the Drude model of metal nanoparticles to study the change laws of the lateral shift of nanoparticles in the far field under the illumination of linearly polarized light. In addition, the paper derives an analytical expression for the GH shift and uses a simplified model to unveil the underlying mechanism of GH shift inversion. It is found that when the electric dipole couples with the electric quadrupole, GH shift reaches two peaks different from that in other wavebands at Fano resonance area. The finding lays a foundation for the development of supersensitive sensors based on GH shift..

Description and Design of Deterministic Interface States in Anisotropic Photonic Crystals Based on Effective Electromagnetic Parameters

This paper uses effective electromagnetic parameters to predict the existence of deterministic interface states in photonicDeterministic interface states in photonic crystals have attracted extensive attention from researchers in recent years due to their widespread applications in optical waveguides and other fields. This paper uses effective electromagnetic parameters to predict the existence of deterministic interface states in photonic crystals, which extends the Zak phase theory of band structures. The effective electromagnetic parameters are superior because they bring advantages of requiring no calculation of complex band structures and Zak phase and making the design of deterministic interface states in photonic crystals more convenient. Similar to surface plasmon polaritons, deterministic interface states can exist when the sum of the impedances of two photonic crystals forming the interface is zero. Therefore, the existence of deterministic interface states in anisotropic photonic crystals only depends on the effective dielectric constant and effective permeability in specific directions. In addition, it is found that deterministic interface states can exist and propagate only along specific interface directions by designing anisotropic photonic crystals with required effective electromagnetic parameters. The simulation results verify the accuracy of the effective medium theory for photonic crystals and the existence of interfacial states..

Losses are introduced into some of the grooves to examine the influence of the material loss on the scattering properties This paper focuses on a kind of metal cylinder, which has artificial microstructures of periodic subwavelength grooves on the surface, works in the terahertz band, and has been studied extensively. Losses are introduced into some of the grooves to examine the influence of the material loss on the scattering properties of metal microstructure cylinders. The results reveal that at a specific frequency, the absorption cross-section of the overall metal microstructure cylinder remains almost zero regardless of how the loss changes. The analysis of scattered field distributions and eigenmodes demonstrates that this loss-independent anomalous scattering is due to the loss-free bound state of the microstructure caused by symmetry breaking. The electric fields of this bound state are mainly distributed in the loss-free grooves, whereas almost no electric field is observed in the lossy grooves. This study provides a new method for designing high-performance photonic devices based on lossy metal microstructure cylinders..

The Maxwell-Bloch equations are derived to describe the dynamic evolution of optical pulses in the system under the semi-classical framework. By the multi-scale method, the nonlinear Schr?dinger equation (NLSE) describing the propagation of optical pulses under the modulation of rectangular barriers is obtained. In different incident cases, such as single optical soliton incidence, as well as symmetric and asymmetric double optical soliton incidence, this study systematically investigates the excitation properties of propagation modes and cut-off modes in the rectangular barrier. Moreover, it analyzes the influence of the phase of incident double optical solitons and the intensity and width of rectangular barriers on the propagation properties of different modes in rectangular barriers. Finally, this paper proposes an all-optical switch at a weak light level by changing the characteristic parameters of rectangular barriers and the phase of the incident optical pulses..

In free space, two atoms of different frequencies cannot be excited at the same time because of the quantum interference effect. In the strongly coupled cavity QED system, however, the coupling between the atom and the cavity field leads to new transition channels, which makes diatomic excitation possible. The photon excitation spectrum of a two-atom cavity QED system is elaborately studied by the master equation of numerical simulation and is compared with the two-photon excitation spectrum, which proves the possibility of two-photon excitation. Further analysis of the second-order correlation function and the diatomic excitation probability of the photon reveals the statistical properties of the photon in the cavity and the physical mechanism of diatomic excitation..

The two transitions of the three-level V-type system are chirally coupled with the two waveguides separately, and the two excited states are coupled by a classical light field. Then, the single-photon scattering amplitude is obtained by the real-space Hamiltonian method. The results reveal that one can realize the nonreciprocal single-photon frequency convertor and beam splitter with the efficiency of 1 under ideal conditions by the manipulation of the classical light field. The single-photon scattering properties depend on the accumulated phase by the photon propagation between the two coupling points of the giant atom and the waveguides. By controlling the phase, one can realize a single-photon frequency convertor and beam splitter with high frequency sensitivity to the incident light..

Correlation Properties of Photons in Coherently Driven Atom-Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics System

Under weak pump field excitation, the driven atom can realize the sThe photon correlation properties of coherently driven atoms strongly coupled with a single-mode cavity and the influence of collective effect on the mean photon number and photon correlation properties in asymmetric coupling are studied in this paper. Under weak pump field excitation, the driven atom can realize the single photon blockade effect, and the overflow photons from the cavity follow the sub-Poisson statistics, showing the anti-bunching state. Additionally, the distance between two atoms affects the dressed energy level. When the couping phase difference of two atoms is greater than 90°, the asymmetric coupling results in strong photon excitation at the central frequency. Due to the resonance effect, the intra-cavity photons exhibit strong bunching behavior. As the intensity of the driving field increases, the number of photons at both sides of the edge gradually rises and the two-photon excitation becomes dominant, which can realize the two-photon blockade, namely that photons appear in pairs. The present system provides a good platform for studying quantum optical phenomena due to collective effects..

Specifically, the influence of inhomogeneous broadening on the EIT of doped photonic crystals is thoroughly examined according to the semi-classical theory of light-matter interaction, and the conditions for the generation of EIT are obtained analytically. The validity of the theory is confirmed by comparison with experimental results. In addition, the EIT in a Pr3+∶Y2SiO5 doped photonic crystal sandwich waveguide system is further explored. The influence of the local electric field confinement effect on EIT is analyzed, and the conditions for the achievement of EIT in such a sandwich waveguide system are obtained in an analytical manner..

Jiahe Chen, Yanfang Li, and Zhihong Hang
For the honeycomb-lattice photonic crystals made of perfect electric conductor cylinders, a mathematical model is proposed to calculate the inter- and intra-lattice coupling intensity by analogy with electrostatic interactions. The comparison of inter- and intra-lattice coupling is made to explain the quantum spin HallFor the honeycomb-lattice photonic crystals made of perfect electric conductor cylinders, a mathematical model is proposed to calculate the inter- and intra-lattice coupling intensity by analogy with electrostatic interactions. The comparison of inter- and intra-lattice coupling is made to explain the quantum spin Hall effect at the structure level. The calculated results reveal that the intra- and inter-lattice coupling intensity changes with the increase in the cylinder radius, namely that a topological phase transition occurs. Numerical simulations confirm that topological inversion of the band structures of photonic crystals on both sides of the transition position occurs, and a unidirectional topological photonic waveguide emerges at the interfaces between these photonic crystals of different topological phases. The proposed mathematical model can predict the topological phase transition of optical/acoustic topological insulators and can provide a reference for subsequent component development..

The droplet-type sensor is formed from a standard single-mode optical fiber that is bent and encapsulated in PDMS. In the experiment, the concentration of the VOC is obtained by monitoring the wavelength drift of output spectrum of the sensor. The experimental results show that when PDMS absorbs the VOC, its volume expands, and the effective bending length of the droplet-type optical fiber structure decreases. The output spectrum of the sensor is blue-shifted when the volume fraction of the VOC ranges from 0 to - 0.542 pm/- 3.22×10- 4 dB/

The measurement and comparison results show that the simulation system can simulate the light distribution and color fusion of real Ambilight accurately. Experiments designed and accomplished by the simulation system are employed to investigate the factors affecting the perception of Ambilight light effects. The visual perception experimental results indicate that the related factors of LED light intensity and distribution range exert a significant (p<0.01) effect on the visual experience of Ambilight effects. However, other factors including the number of LED layers, LED grouping methods, and selected content width have little impact (p>0.05). The proposed simulation model and preliminary research results can provide a theoretical reference for the design and manufacture of real TV Ambilight systems..
