Abstract:
Based on double-temperature equation,the temperature field of metal ablation by means of femtosecond,picosecond and nanosecond laser pulses is numerically calculated with finite-difference method to describe different laser pulses ablation on metal surface.The derived results are compared with those obtained with the approximate analytical expressions and simplified equations.Then the application range scope of the different simplified equations and the reasonability of simplification are discussed.The relationship between the electron heat flux expression and the laser intensity is also analyzed.The calculation shows that the results of the simplified equations are consistent with the numerical calculation results obtained with the double-temperature equation.It is proved that the temperature of the lattice can be treated as a constant and the double-temperature equation reduces to the electron temperature equation for femtosecond scale laser pulses,the system should be described by a complete double-temperature equation for picosecond laser pulses,and that the electron and lattice temperature are equal and the model is reduced to a heat conduction equation during for nanosecond laser pulses.

ZHAO Chao-feng, LU Xun, LUO Shao-peng
2007, 31(1): 15-17.
Abstract:
For quasi-soliton propagating steadily in standard monomode fiber,its transmission in a standard monomode fiber and dispersion compensation fiber is studied with the split-step Fourier method.The transmission characteristics in a standard monomode fiber and dispersion compensation fiber are obtained.The numerical analysis shows that its peak value descends and its width broadens when it propagates in a standard monomode fiber,so the quasi-soliton can't propagate steadily.When it propagates in a dispersion compensation system using dispersion compensation technique,its shape can be kept almost the original shape,so quasi-soliton propagation properties can be improved greatly than in a standard monomode fiber.

Abstract:
In order to the accurate single-layer depth to meet the technologic requirement of 3-D laser carving,experimental study of laser carving was carried out on the surface of Al2O3 ceramic with different laser processing parameters.The effects of parameters on single-layer depth,quality and the mechanisms of laser carving were described.The mathematical model of laser carving depth was established.Through experiments,it was found that the single-layer depth was nearly 0.1mm with a tolerance of less than three-thousandths when the laser power was 12.2A,the scanning speed was 25mm per second and the repeating frequency of laser pulse was 2kHz.At last,a 3-D solid was successfully carved on the surface of ceramic sample based on the experimental results.It was shown from the results that the layered-forming principle could be applied in the field of laser carving and the 3-D laser carving system could directly carve the real 3-D graphics on the surface of ceramic.

Abstract:
Three-position-pumped double-clad fiber lasers are the simplest and essential forms of multi-position-pumped ones with side-pump technologies.In order to obtain higher laser output power under the same pump powers,the optimization of the pump parameters was studied.Firstly,the rate equations of Yb-doped double-clad fiber lasers are applied to acquire the expression of total lost pump power.Secondly,the optimum design model,the analytical expression for choosing the optimum side-pumping position,was obtained based on the principle of minimal total lost pump power for the three-position-pumped double-clad fiber lasers.The simulation results showed that the output power of the optimized double-clad fiber lasers was higher than that of the original ones,especially for the double-clad fibers with large total lost pump powers.The optimization methods are valuable,from which the optimum design for multi-position-pumped double-clad fiber lasers can be derived.

Abstract:
In order to optical response in nonlinear material,considering the general problem of electronmagnetic wave propagation through one-dimensional photonic crystal heterjunction structure with a nonlinear defect,an expression for the optical response of such dielectric superlattice is obtained when the nonlinear impurity dielectric constant is in δ function approximation.The simulation results show that once the nonlinear medium sandwiched between two photonic crystals and the system exhibits bistability and multistability.Then the conditions for the onset of bistability and multistability are discussed.Comparison proves the δ function approximation and the nonlinear layer of finite width displays qualitatively similar behavior,which might supply a beneficial reference for the design zero threshold laser and nonlinear optical elements.

Abstract:
Based on the theory of the Stokes vector and Muller matrix,the Muller matrix expression of a refraction polarizer is deduced.Then the Stokes vector formula and polarization formula of the transmitted light are discussed when the natural light is incident the refraction polarizer at an arbitrary angle.Finally the relation curve among the polarization degree and the refractive index and layer number of the medium is drawn when the light is incident the polarizer at Brewster angle.Results show it is easy to obtain higher polarization degree if the medium's refractive index or the number of the medium layer is increased when the natural light is incident at Brewster angle.The study results are applicable for other multilayer medium membrane device.

2007, 31(1): 83-85.
Abstract:
With 0.8MeV electron irradiating the passivation film with three different thickness of SiO2 at 4 radiation dosages(1013cm-2~1014 cm-2),the radiation hardness of the passivation film was studied through comparing the photocurrent and dark current of the photodiode.It is found after radiation,the characteristics of the photodiodes degrade to some extent.The photocurrent decreases at short and long wavelength,never decrease at middle wavelength(600nm~800nm).On the other hand,the dark current increases with radiation dosage.When the radiation is 1×1014cm-2,the photocurrent is only 80% of that before radiation and the dark current is 40 times of that before radiation.In addition,for photodiodes passivated with thin SiO2,photocurrent decreases slightly,however dark current increases remarkably.Results show that the radiation effect has a relationship with device structure and technics of the film.

2007, 31(1): 71-73.
Abstract:
In order to improve the measuring accuracy of the intelligence high extinction ratio measuring system,the polarization interference principle is used to study and design an attenuator used in the system,and the attenuator's principle is analyzed carefully.The attenuator is consisted of three polarization prisms,one λ/4 wave-plate(λ=632.8nm),and two stepper motors.It can continuously adjust intensity of light within the range of about 0~60dB and the insertion lossof less than 1.5dB,so the aberration generated by changing attenuator with fixing attenuation value can be canceled effectively.If the attenuator is used to measure the extinction,the extinction ratio better than 10-7 can be obtained.The attenuator can be used not only in the high extinction ratio measuring system,but also in other optical measuring systems.The attenuator can adjust kinds of wavelength lights with achromatic plate in place of λ/4 wave-plate,so the useful range can be expanded.
