Jing SONG, Gao-feng ZHANG, Tong-yan XING, Jian-ping XU, Xiao-song ZHANG, and Qing-song HUANG
ZnS:Mn2+ nanocrystals (NCs) with particle size from 1.9 nm to 3.2 nm are synthesized via chemical precipitation method with different [S2-]/[Zn2+] ratios. The size??dependent decay for Mn emission exhibits a double exponential behavior.

The size??dependent decay for Mn emission exhibits a double exponential behavior. And two lifetime values, in millisecond time domain, can both be shortened with size increasing, which is attributed to enhanced interaction between host and Mn2+ impurity. A molecular structure model is proposed to interpret the tendency of two lifetime components, which is correlated to the number of S vacancy (Vs) defects around Mn2+..

The luminescence properties of the samples are investigated. In the same excitation condition, the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of all samples show an ultraviolet (UV) emission and a broad strong visible emission band. The asymmetric visible emission band of annealed samples has a red-shift as the annealing temperature increasing from 200 ℃ to 600 ℃ and it can be deconvoluted into two subband emissions centered at 535 nm (green emission) and 611 nm (orange-red emission) by Gaussian-fitting analysis. Analyses of PL excitation (PLE) spectra and PL spectra at different excitation wavelengths reveal that the green emission and the orange-red emission have a uniform initial state, which can be attributed to the electron transition from Zn interstitial (Zni) to oxygen vacancy (Vo) and oxygen interstitial (Oi), respectively..

It is found that the double output pulses are produced in the transmission port of the nonlinear optical fiber-loop mirror. The output pulse peaks are located in time domain at the rising and falling edges of the pump pulses. It is demonstrated that the rising and falling edges of the pump pulse can be directly extracted by this method. Through numerical simulation, the effects of the relative delay of pump pulses and the dispersion of fiber on the characteristics of output pulses are studied. By spectrum analysis, it is found that the spectrum of output pulse sequence includes the clock components of the pump pulse sequence, and a new idea is provided for all-optical clock extraction..

The thermal properties of photonic crystal fiber (PCF) laser with 18 circularly distributed cores are investigated by using full-vector finite element method (FEM). The results show that the 18-core PCF has a more effective thermal dispersion construction compared with the single core PCF and 19-core PCF. In addition, The thermal properties of photonic crystal fiber (PCF) laser with 18 circularly distributed cores are investigated by using full-vector finite element method (FEM). The results show that the 18-core PCF has a more effective thermal dispersion construction compared with the single core PCF and 19-core PCF. In addition, the temperature distribution of 18-core PCF laser with different thermal loads is simulated. The results show that the core temperature approaches the fiber drawing value of 1800 K approximately when the thermal load is above 80 W/m which corresponds to the pumping power of 600 W approximately, while the coating temperature approaches the damage value of about 550 K when the thermal load is above 15 W/m which corresponds to the pumping power of 110 W approximately. Therefore the fiber cooling is necessary to achieve power scaling. Compared with other different cooling systems, the copper cooling scheme is found to be an effective method to reduce the thermal effects..

A noisy SOA dynamic model and PIN equivalent circuit function are employed for system evaluating. The results show this SOA-XGM sampler with subtracting postprocessing can achieve picosecond sampling window. The shape of sampling window can be adjusted by SOA bias current and amplitude of control pulse. Compared with amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise of SOA and thermal noise in PIN, the jitter of sampling control pulse causes most sampling error. Simulations show that this SOA-XGM sampler can be a capable candidate for transient waveform sampling..

Ai-hong GUAN, and Bo-yun WANG
One of the key problems to hinder the realization of optical burst switching (OBS) technology in the core networks is the losses due to the contention among the bursts at the core nodes. Burst segmentation is an effective contention resolution technique used to reduce the number of packets lost due to the burst losses.One of the key problems to hinder the realization of optical burst switching (OBS) technology in the core networks is the losses due to the contention among the bursts at the core nodes. Burst segmentation is an effective contention resolution technique used to reduce the number of packets lost due to the burst losses. In our work, a burst segmentation-deflection routing contention resolution mechanism in OBS networks is proposed. When the contention occurs, the bursts are segmented according to the lowest packet loss probability of networks firstly, and then the segmented burst is deflected on the optimum routing. An analytical model is proposed to evaluate the contention resolution mechanism. Simulation results show that high-priority bursts have significantly lower packet loss probability and transmission delay than the low-priority. And the performance of the burst lengths, in which the number of segments per burst distributes geometrically, is more effective than that of the deterministically distributed burst lengths..

Xin LI, Hong-jun ZHENG, Hui-shan YU, and Shan-liang LIU
We propose the sub-picosecond chirped soliton pulse propagation in concave-dispersion-flattened fibers (CDFF).

The effects of pulse characteristics and the fiber dispersion parameters on propagation characteristics of the chirped soliton pulse are numerically investigated in the CDFF by the split-step Fourier method (SSFM). The unchirped soliton pulse can stably propagate with unchanged pulse width in the CDFF. The temporal full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the chirped soliton performs a damped oscillation with the increase of propagation distance. The period and amplitude of the oscillation increase with the increase of the chirp parameter |C|. The effect of high-order dispersion (β3-β6) on soliton propagation characteristics can be neglected. The soliton pulse slightly broadens with the increase of propagation distance and still maintains soliton characteristics when the fiber loss (ATT) is further considered. The variation of root-meansquare (RMS) spectral width with propagation distance is opposite to that of the temporal width. The output spectrum of soliton has a single peak for the unchirped case, while has multi-peak for chirped case. The temporal width of the soliton obviously increases with the increase of the initial width, decreases with the increase of dispersion peak D0 of the fiber, and slightly increases with the decrease of dispersion coefficients k1 and k2 of the fiber..

You-ceng FENG, and Ge XIA

The resuBased on the principle of virtual equivalent gain, the evolution of self-similar pulses in a normal dispersion-decreasing fiber is investigated. The occurrence of wave breaking during the process under highly nonlinear conditions and the effect of its revealed four-wave mixing on the process are also analyzed. The results indicate that the pulse spectrum broadening in the initial stage is dominated by self-phase modulation while by four-wave mixing in the later stage. The more intense nonlinearity is, the faster the pulse evolution converges to the self-similarity synchronously in both the time domain and the spectrum domain..

The simulation results show that the tunable bandwidth of the OBPF leads to RZ signals with tunable pulse width. The conversion efficiency (CE) and the pattern effect of the RZ signal are attributed to the parameters of the pump pulse and the OBPF. The converted RZ signal exhibits lower timing jitter than the NRZ signal..

Four kinds of random measurement matrices are designed according to the constraint conditions of random measurement. The performance is tested employing the algorithm of stagewise orthogonal matching pursuit (StOMP). Results of the experiment show that lower limits of the measurement number are much better than the results described in Refs.[13-15]. When the ratios of measurement to sparsity are 3.8 and 4.0, the mean relative errors of the reconstructed signals are 8.57 × 10–13 and 2.43 × 10–14, respectively, which confirms that the random measurement scheme of this paper is very effective..
