The finiteness of diffractive order of the phase grating and the relations between the diffractive orders and the incident angle are discussed by means of the vector diffraction theory. The results are in correspondence with that attained by the optical path method. The distribuion of each diffractive order is illustrated at different incident angles and the diffractive direction of each diffraction wave are given. It is pointed out that while there only exist the zero-order reflection wave and the zero-order transmit in free space layer, the diffraction waves of higher diffractive orders may exist in the substrate layer.

In the phase shifting microscopic interferometry profiler, surface profile distortion exists due to the limitation of finite spatial bandwidth of the microscopic system. The phenomenon through simulation computation was analyzed. A suggestion to improve the response of the system was given.

We investigate the relative diffraction efficiency of a volume hologram where a spherical wave is used as the reference beam. Through theoretical analysis we find that the cross-talk performance of a volume hologram with a spherical reference wave is somewhat better than that with a planar reference wave. This phenomenon is explained and demonstrated. After comparing the readout images by a spherical reference wave with those by a planar reference wave, we also verify that a spherical reference wave is of little effects on the readout image quality. These features imply not so rigorous requirements on the parallelism of the reference beam in a volume holographic memory. In addition, a phenomenal analytical expression to approximately calculate the relative diffraction efficiency of a volume hologram with a spherical reference beam is presented.

A two-mode ring gain-noise laser model taking account of full saturation effects with multiplicative noise induced by gain fluctuations is concerned. An exact analytical expression for laser intensity distribution is obtained on resonance with equal mode pump parameters. It is found, through a comparison with the currently used models where multiplicative noise arises from loss fluctuations, that the occurrence of nonlinear multiplicative noise coefficient weakens the anomalous characteristics brought about to the laser intensity statistical properties by introducing multiplicative noise, and this kind of weakening is more apparent for larger multiplicative noise or smaller laser loss.

The laser-driven ablation parameters are measured by using the method of time-integrated and time-resolved crystal spectrometers. The following experimental results are obtained. For aluminium target driven by 0.35 μm laser with absorbed laser intensity of 1.4×1014 W/cm2, mass ablation rate measured by time-integrated crystal spectrometer, is 6.8×105 (g/cm2·s), and ablative pressure is estimated to be 4.7×1012 Pa and 4.4×1012 Pa according to momentum conservation and energy conservation, respectively. Mass ablation rate with absorbed laser intensity of 1.6×1014 W/cm2, measured by time-resolved crystal spectrometer, is 6.1×105 (g/cm2·s) and ablative pressure is estimated to be 4.4×1012 Pa from energy conservation. These results are in accordance with the results obtained by other laboratories within the experimental error.

The observations on the stimulated photorefractive scattering self-pumped phase conjugator (SPS-SPPC) in Ce-doped BaTiO3 demonstrate that the self-built pumped paths in the SPS-SPPC are induced by the scattering seeds. Using these results, a formation mechanism of the SPS-SPCC is presented, which is related to the scattering seeds, contradirectional two-wave mixing and four-wave mixing. The production conditions and characteristices of the pumped paths are given. It shows that the large backscattering coefficient is always advantageous to the production of these paths. The maximum of the phase conjugition reflectivity attains 80%.

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) phase-conjugate mirror was used to produce XeCl laser beam of good optical quality and short time duration. The amplified phase-conjugate beam duration could vary from 50 ns to 17 ns, by changing the pump pulse energy or the depth of the lens focus into the SBS medium. The spatial quality of this beam was improved.

High-order optical harmonic emission from a single atom exposed in the intense chirped laser pulses has been calculated. Harmonic spectral shifting and broadening are found. Namely, for the negatively chirped pulses, blue-shifting can be observed in the front part (11 st～51 st order) of the harmonic plateau. But the back part from 53rd to 91st harmonic orders occur to red-shift. When the sign of chirp is changed to be positive, the spectral shifting is just reverse. Regardless the sign of chirp every harmonic order is broadened in different degree for different order number. The bandwidths of individual peaks are broad enough to support subfemtosecond pulses if the pertinent phase conditions can be met. These calculation results agree well with the recent experiment performed by Zhou et al. although the opposite spectral shifting in the back part of harmonic plateau is not reported in their experiment. It indicates that a tunable, ultrashort soft X-ray source can be obtained by controlling the degree and sign of chirp.

In active fiber two kinds of nonlinearity, nonlinear polarization and gain saturation, laed to the frequency spectrum broadening of optical signal. Gain saturation distorts its envelope, and affects the self-phase-modulation (SPM) caused by nonlinear polarization. It can be expressed by a transmission function f(z). A formula of f(z) with a power series derived from NLS equation is given, and the frequency broad band can be estimated by B=2F(1+μ). Because of f(z)>>1 in the active fiber, the broadening can be compared with initial band of optical signal in the optical communication system having many optical fiber amplifiers with high gain and high output power.

Firstly, the fast Fourier transform (FFT) was used to anlayze the carrier frequency fringes, the characteristic curve of phase shifter was obtained from a series of carrier interferograms by FFT. Using this curve, then the phase shifter was corrected by an iterative self-correcting process relying on the interferometer. The self-correcting experiment with IR interferometer shown that the nonlinearity of phase shifter was reduced from 5% to 0.2%.

Light-emitting diodes based on ROPPV-12/Alq3 heterojunction were fabricated, in which ROPPV-12 [poly(2, 5-Didodecyloxy-1, 4-Phenylenevinylene)] was a hole type semiconducting polymer, and 8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum (Alq3) was an electron type semiconducting low mass organic material. The emission spectrum of the device based on heterojunction ROPPV-12 (70 nm)/Alq3 (20 nm) is similar to that of POPPV-12′s single layer device. The emission spectrum of the device based on heterojunction ROPPV-12 (70 nm)/Alq3 (32 nm) is composed of two parts, one is originated from ROPPV-12, the other is from Alq3. The emission from ROPPV-12 is the main emission at low drive voltage. While with the increase of drive voltage, the emission from Alq3 becomes the main emission gradually. In other words, the electroluminescence of the later device is color voltage-dependent. The brightness, current and luminescent efficiency of the former device is much better than the later device. The emission mechanism is presented.

The results of numerical analysis show that the uniformity of illumination of laser fusion target can be improved by using a random phase plate (RPP), though the magnitude and phase of laser beams irradiating the target plane are practically fluctuated. Any random phase distribution of the random phase plate has less effects on the unformity of laser irradiation on the target plane. Besides, the intensity distributions of the target plane defocused are discussed.
