In laser diode-pumped solid-state lasers, the thermal induced distortion in laser crystal limits the scalability of high power output with high beam quality. Partially end-pumped slab laser with a stable-unstable hybrid resonator is an effective way to solve this problem. 110 W output with nearly diffractive-limit is obtained using Nd∶YVO4 as the gain media and a cavity less than 100 mm. The beam propagation factor M2 are 1.3 and 1.5 in the unstable and stable directions respectively at this power level. Spatial filting to cut the side lobes casued by hard-edge difrraction of output resonator mirror is also demonstrated. The typical propagation factors M2 are 1.09 and 1.2 after a spatial filter at 50 W operation.

    The optical properties of the angle tuning, resonation thresholds, and conversion efficiency curves are simulated for CLBO and BBO crystal by using the Sellmeier equation and the energy conservation in type-Ⅰ and Ⅱ. The wavelength tuning ranges of 237~289 nm and 807~2793 nm, 404~2800 nm in type-Ⅰ and type-Ⅱ are obtained for CLBO-OPO by 213 nm pumped, respectively. The efficiency is obtained that the efficiency of CLBO is larger than that of BBO in type Ⅰ, and the efficiency of CLBO crystal is less than that of BBO in type Ⅱ, but the maximum efficiency is obtained in the ultraviolet waveband for CLBO than that of BBO crystal. It is proved theoretically that CLBO is a excellent ultraviolet crystal.

    A novel method to measure the laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) of crystals is presented. The method involves confirming the cross-sectional power density distribution of incident laser and measuring crystals' radii of damage spots, then calculating the corresponding LIDT. For Gaussian laser beam, a relational expression between crystals' damage threshold and radius of damage spots has been reasoned out. Different from other measuring method, this new method can qualitatively and exactly measure crystals' laser induced damage threshold. Using the method, the laser induced damage thresholds of LiNbO3 single crystals doped with different MgO concentration are measured under the same laser condition. The measuring results agree well with both former relevant reports and authors′ theoretical analysis. The applicability of the new method is discussed. It is shown that the proposed method is fast, accurate and can be widely used to precisely test crystals' laser induced damage threshold.

    As the transmission bit rate increases to 10 Gb/s, especially 40 Gb/s and beyond, polarization effects in optical fibers have become one of the significant limiting factors for long-haul transmission. The polarization characteristics of fiber are mainly polarization mode dispersion (PMD) and polarization dependent loss (PDL). While the pulse root mean square (RMS) broadening is a main physical variable to judge signal transmission performance. The interaction between PMD and PDL and their combined effects on pulse broadening are investigated in detail. The relation between PMD vector and PDL vector in fiber links is described analytically. In presence of PMD and PDL, analytical expression of pulse broadening in optical fibers is derived, and chromatic dispersion, chirping are also considered simultaneously. The model can be used to analyze higher order PMD, PDL and pulse broadening in any linear fiber communication system.

    A non-synchronously-numerating experimental system is applied to measure the gain of two-wave coupling in a Ce∶KNSBN crystal while the signal beam and the pump beam are non-simultaneously opened, and the effect of fanning on the dynamical characteristics of two-wave coupling is discussed. It is shown that there is significant writing beam intensity threshold effect of fanning as 632.8 nm He-Ne laser is used to write the volume grating in Ce∶KNSBN crystal, and obvious fanning occurs only if the writing beam intensity is higher than 30 mW/cm2. Modified wave-coupling equations are used to simulate both the dynamical process of two-wave coupling and the gain as a function of the opening time interval between the signal beam and the pump beam. The theoretically calculated results are coincident with the experiment data.

    The magnetostatically coupled multilayer films (GdFeCo/AlN/TbFeCo) were prepared by sputtering method. The measuring results by vibrating sample magnetometer and Kerr rotation hysteresis loop measurement indicate that the Kerr rotation angle of the readout layer (GdFeCo) at no external field is almost zero, and the magnetization direction of the readout layer is in-plane at 25 ℃; the Kerr rotation angle of the readout layer has a maximal value (0.54) at 125 ℃, the magnetization direction of the readout layer is perpendicular at 125 ℃; the magnetization orientation of the readout changes from in-plane to perpendicular with the raise of the temperature. The magnetization direction of the readout layer changes rapidly from 75 ℃ to 125 ℃. The magnetization mechanism of the films was studied. It was found that the magnetization reorientation of the GdFeCo layer is effected by the saturation magnetization and the effective anisotropy energy, but the transition occurs mainly as a result of the changes in the saturation magnetization. The saturation magnetization and the demagnetizing energy of the GdFeCo layer decrease with increasing temperature, and the transition of the GdFeCo layer from in-plane to perpendicular magnetization occurs. The films are suitable to be used as center aperture detection-magnetically superresolution (CAD-MSR) recording media.

    Standing wave total internal reflection imaging technique can obtain high resolution images of a sample along both axial and lateral directions. The variations of the interference patterns with incident condition of excitation light as well as refractive index of medium, and the differences between standing evanescent wave and standing propagating wave are theoretically investigated. The analysis shows that when contrast of the evanescent interference pattern is 1, optimal point spread function (PSF) can be obtained. Due to the narrowed FWHM of PSF, the lateral resolution increases with the decrease of period of the evanescent interference patterns. However, the intensity of PSF side bands increases, which will lower imaging quality.

    Devices with a structure of ITO(indium tin oxide)/TPD(N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1′-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine)/Alq3[tris-(8-hydroxy-quinolinato) aluminum)/Liq(8-hydroxy-quinolinato lithium)/Al, here Liq was used as an electron injection layer,were investigated. Effect of Liq thickness on the electroluminescent efficiency and characteristics of current density-voltage was investigated. Experimental results show that a device with 0.5 nm thick Liq as an electron injection layer was the highest in the efficiency which was about five times higher than that without Liq. This may be attributed to the enhancement of electron injection from the introduction of Liq, which generate a dipole layer and form an ohmic contact between aluminum electrode and Alq3 organic layer. Increase the thickness of Liq layer leads to the decrease of device efficiency and the increase of operating voltage. Comparing with same structure devices using LiF as an injection layer, the trend of change of device performance with the thickness increase of injection layer was similar, however the devices using Liq as an injection layer are less sensitive to the thickness of injection layer. This is because that LiF is an insulator and Liq is a semiconductor. This is very important for use of a large size substrate in the mass production.

    Because two shearing object beams travel in the same direction when Wollaston prism is used as image-shearing device in traditional speckle shearing interferometry. It is difficult to realize phase-shifting technique by separating the two beams for introducing some additional phase changes between the two beams. Rotating stage phase-shifting method (RSPSM) presented in this paper could introduce additional phase changes by rotating the test object a small angle, which is fixed on a rotating stage. Theoretical analysis shows that RSPSM can introduce a stable and linear additional phase changes. The relationship between rotating angle and additional phase is offered. A typical experiment about RSPSM is carried out by using a centrally loaded clamped circular plate. The experimental results are offered. It shows that rotating stage phase-shifting technique could effectively obtain displacement derivative field from fringe patterns of test object.

    Entangled states play an important role in quantum computation and quantum information. A partially entangled state is applied to be a resource and it is proposed a scheme where one can successfully realize copying and orthogonal complementing of an unknown EPR (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen) pair in a certain probability so that two parties of communication can obtain the EPR state. The first stage of this scheme is to apply a quantum channel, that is a partially entangled channel of three-particle, to teleport an unknown EPR state. Based on the no-cloning theorem, the input state will be destructed at the place of sender in teleportation. In the second stage, through introducing an auxiliary qubit, Alice(a sender) can achieve a copy or an orthogonal-complement copy of the EPR pair with assistance of Victor(a state preparer) in a unite probability. Reestablishment of quantum state is realized in the scheme.

    The probability distribution of the differential group delay for different mode coupling is simulated with Monte-Carlo method. By fitting the results of the simulation, probability distribution function for different mode coupling is obtained. It is found that the probability distribution function of the magnitude of the dispersion changes from a very sharp δ-like function to Maxwellian with increase of coupling times of the two polarization modes. At certain coupling times, the probability distribution function is Gaussian. By taking two direction cosines of the polarization mode dispersion (PMD) vector for statistics, it is found that with increasing of the coupling times, the probability distribution of the direction cosines of the PMD vector changes from a Gassian and a δ-like distribution to a uniform distribution.

These equations are the unity of the evolution equations for the parameters of the optical bright-soliton-like pulse among monomode optical fibers, the fiber with slowly decreasing dispersion or dispersion-managed optical fibers. By these equations, the perturbation of linear high-order dispersion in the fiber is calculated. The results show that linear high-order dispersion affects the position and the phase, doesn't affects the amplitude ,the width and the chirp of the bright-soliton-like pulse. The slowly decreasing dispersion affects all of the parameters of the optical bright-soliton-like pulse.

The resonator has small radius of laser waists, so it is very suitable to the laser diode pumped intercavity frequency-doubling lasers with quasi-phase-matched frequency-doubler. The expressions to calculate the radius and the place of laser waist, curvature of the mirrors used in the resonator, the thickness of a Brewster plate, and folding angle of the resonator were presented. The performance of continous-wave laser diode pumped passively Q-switched PPLN intercavity frequency-doubling laser with the folded 3-mirror laser resonator was investigated. As the result that both fundamental and second harmonic waves have the same polarization, no green-noise problem exists. The pulse series of laser output are stable. The laser has the average output power 42.7 mW under the CW input power 500 mW.
