Excited-state dynamics in light-harvesting complex of Rhodobacter sphaeroides

Photodynamics of peripheral antenna complexes,light-harvesting complex (LH2) of Rhodobacter (Rb) Sphaeroides 601,was studied using femtosecond pump-probe technique at different laser wavelengths. The obtained results reveal dramatic dynamical evolutions within B800 and B850 absorption bands of antenna complexes LH2. At excitation wavelength around 835 nm,a sharp photobleaching signal was observed which was assigned to the contribution of the two-exciton state,which was further confirmed by the power dependence measurement. Rate equations with eight-level scheme were used to calculate the population evolution in LH2 and the transient dynamics under femtosecond pulse excitation. The research results prove that not only the transition from ground state to one-exciton state but also that from one-exciton state to two-exciton state contribute to the photodynamics of B850.     

啁啾对飞秒脉冲在光子晶体光纤中传输的影响

采用广义非线性薛定谔方程描述啁啾对飞秒脉冲在光子晶体光纤中传输特性的影响,利用对称分步傅里叶方法通过求解方程,数值计算了有无啁啾情况下相同脉宽和功率、不同入射波长飞秒脉冲在光子晶体光纤中的传输,对比不同色散区飞秒脉冲波形的演化及超连续谱的产生.结果表明,较低功率时,反常色散区和零色散区,初始啁啾对于孤子的快速形成和传输具有重要的作用,而位于正常色散区时,啁啾破坏了脉冲形状,不利于脉冲的传输.反常色散区和正常色散区啁啾有利于频谱的展宽;零色散区,啁啾对频谱展宽影响不明显.较高功率时,频谱展宽主要受功率影响,啁啾对频谱展宽作用不大.这些结论对于脉冲传输和超连续谱系统优化设计和控制具有理论指导意义.

飞秒激光刻写长周期光纤光栅的应变特性

在含涂覆层的标准通信光纤中,用红外飞秒激光直接写入长周期光纤光栅(long period fiber gratings,LPFGs),并通过理论和实验分析,研究含涂覆层LPFGs的轴向应变特性.分析结果表明,与去除涂覆层的LPFGs相比,涂覆层的存在不仅增强了LPFGs的机械强度,同时有效地抑制了LPFGs由外加应变引起的谐振波长偏移.基于以上优点,含涂覆层的LPFGs若作为带阻滤波器或增益平坦器,将有良好的机械可靠性和波长应变稳定性.

High pulse energy femtosecond large-mode-area photonic crystal fiber laser

A high pulse energy femtosecond fiber laser based on a large-mode-area photonic crystal fiber is demonstrated. A segment of Yb-doped single-polarization large-mode-area photonic crystal fiber with extremely low nonlinearity is explored as gain media of this fiber laser, resulting in intrinsically envi- ronmentally stability. The fiber laser is based on a linear cavity with dispersion compensation free con- figuration, and the stable mode-locking is obtained by a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror （SESAM）. The fiber laser directly generates 2.5 W of average power at a repetition rate of 51.4 MHz, corresponding to a single pulse energy of 50 nJ. The output pulse duration is 4.2 ps, which is dechirped to 410 fs after extracavity dispersion compensation. The nonlinear absorption of SESAM determines the pulse shaping at low output power, while the mode-locking mechanism is under the balance between spectrum broadening from self-phase-modulation and gain filtering at the high output power.     

Ultrahigh resolution optical coherence tomography with femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser and photonic crystal fiber

Optical coherence tomography （OCT） with ultrahigh axial resolution was achieved by the super-continuum generated by coupling femtosecond pulses from a commercial Ti：sapphire laser into an air-silica microstructure fiber. The visible spectrum of the super-continuum from 450 to 700 nm centered at 540 nm can be generated. A free-space axial OCT resolution of 0.64 pm was achieved. The sensitivity of OCT system was 108 dB with incident light power 3 mW at sample, only 7dB below the theoretical limit. Subcellular OCT imaging was also demonstrated, showing great potential for biomedical application.     

Cu薄膜的瞬态反射率及退火处理的影响

为了研究激光辐照金属薄膜后的超快热化动力学过程,利用磁控溅射技术在玻璃衬底上制备了Cu薄膜样品,同时取部分样品进行不同温度的退火处理.运用飞秒激光泵浦-探测技术观测了薄膜表面的反射率变化,研究了薄膜退火处理对反射率的影响.结果表明:飞秒激光作用下,Cu薄膜的瞬态反射率曲线分为稳定、快速上升、衰减和恢复4个阶段；退火处理对反射率曲线的峰值和衰减阶段的时间有影响,退火温度越高,反射率变化的峰值越小,衰减阶段所用的时间越长,即电子的冷却速率越慢；基于双温模型预测的电子温度与试验结果大致吻合,但是预测的电子冷却时间比试验要长.
