Abstract:
For the feasibility of metal ion reduction induced by the femtosecond laser two-photon absorption of organic polymer material,the experiments were taken in silver nitrate and polyvinylpyrrolidone film mixture at the ratio of the amount of substance of 1:1.In the developed two-photon fabrication system,a single line with the width of 25μm and a 4mm ×0.4mm plate were fabricated.The X-ray photoelectron spectrum revealed that the main element in the product was silver,and the range of resistivity from 10-3Ω·m to 10-5Ω·m was calculated by measuring the resistance.The result shows that using two-photon induced reduction of metal ions,the reaction region can be controlled well,and it is helpful for the conductive metallic microstructure fabrication.

Abstract:
In order to learn the propagating characteristics of the photonic crystal with symmetnc double defeets,they were studied by means of transfer matrix.It is found that location of defect layers significantly affects the defect mode.If the number of dielectric layers between the two defect layers is greater than the total number of dielectric layers outside the two defect layers,only one single defect mode exists in the band gap and its transmittance reduces rapidly as the difference between the two numbers increases.However,if the number of dielectric layers between the two defect layers is less than the total number of dielectric layers outside the two defect layers,two defect modes with transmittance of 1 exist in band gap and the distance between the two defect modes increases as the difference of the two numbers increases.The spatial electric field distribution of defect mode was also discussed.In order to effectively enhance the electric field in the defect layers,the double defect layers must be close to the center of photonic crystal.

Abstract:
For encoding binary images,binary image encryption using logic operations based on interferometer was presented to overcome the shortcomings of the previous binary image eneryption.Firstly,a binary image which carries certain information is chosen as encrypted image.Secondly,a key which is used for decrypting image is obtained using logical relationship between them.Finally,the decrypted image is reconstructed with the principle of optical interference.Computer simulation and optical experiment show that eneryption is very convenient and decryption system is simple.Also,this method can realize multi-authentication,so safety performance is very high.

Abstract:
To investigate the influence of the waveform of laser pulses on the characteristics of photoacoustic pulses,based on the theory of thermoelastic mechanism for generation of acoustic waves,the characteristics of acoustic waves induced by triangular laser pulses were analyzed by means of theoretical derivation and numerical simulation.Firstly,the theory of thermoelastic mechanism for generation of a plane acoustic source by laser pulses in liquid was elaborated firstly.The analytic expressions of the acoustic pulses induced by laser pulses at the constraint margin and free margin were deduced when the laser waveform was triangular,and the sections of the photoacoustic pulses were obtained through emulation.Secondly,the waveform of the photoacoustic pulse was simulated.Finally,the photoacoustic conversion efficiency was deduced and the influencing factors were analyzed.And then the conversion efficiency at rigid margin and free margin were solved and compared.The obtained results can supply theoretical instruction for the engineering application of the technique of laser generation of acoustic waves.

Abstract:
For the purpose of studying the damage and beam quality deterioration caused by the non-absorbing inclusions in the fused silica optics,the scattering and the nonlinear propagation of the light field were simulated by finite difference time domain and split Fourier arithmetic respectively.The simulation shows the voids and zirconia inclusions in radius comparable to the wavelength amplify the electromagnetic field amplitude by about 1.6 and 1.9 and after the nonlinear transportation the modulation increases and the beam splits.The results present that the bulk inclusions could cause damage at the rear surface and deterioration of the beam quality.

Abstract:
In order to study kinetic energy of accelerated electrons in a laser-driven wakefield,maximum and minimum potential of the wakefield that could determine the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons was found by applying the particle in cell method.The peak and valley potential of the plasma wakefield and its relations to laser pulse length and intensity were discussed.It is shown that the maximum energy of a trapped electron is proportional to the intensity of the laser pulse and it reaches maximum value when the laser pulse length equals to nearly ten times of the wavelength.

Abstract:
In order to study the supermode noise suppression in a mode-locked fiber laser with composite cavity,an effective structure model of the composite cavity was built based on the transfer function.The characteristic of an active modelocked ring fiber laser with composite cavity was investigated theoretically.The dependence of the effective basic frequency of the composite cavity on the length of two sub-cavities was demonstrated in detail.Setting the RF modulation frequency at 1 GHz,the relation between the supermode noise and parameters of the composite cavity were listed in a table.It was shown that the number of supermodes was reducedhowever,the reduction of overall supermode noise was not remarkable in comparison with the standard single-cavity configuration.The result is helpful for experimental study of supermode noise of active mode-locked ring fiber laser with composite cavity.

2010, 34(3): 429-432. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-3806.2010.03.040
Abstract:
In order to study the twofold properties of broad and narrow filter doped with 1-D photonic crystal,the peak transmissivity and full width at half maximum(FWHM)were calculated based on the transfer matrix.It was found that when the refractive index is increased the narrow band's peak transmissivity is invariable and the FWHM is increased,the broad band's transmissivity of the edge of the peak is increased and the FWHM is decreased.When the extinction coefficient is increased the narrow band's peak is decreased rapidly and the broad band's peak is decreased rapidly before decreased adagio,the FWHM is increased.A valuable conclusion is drawn that the refractive index is choice with different demand of the design of a twofold phonic crystal filter and the absorption of dopant has to be taken into account for the design of the twofold phonic crystal filter.
