The essence of this multiple frequency conversion is four-wave mixing based on stored atomic spin coherence. Through electromagnetically induced transparency, an input probe pulse is stored into atomic spin coherence by modulating the intensity of the control field. By using two different control fields to interact with the coherently prepared medium, the stored atomic spin coherence can be transformed into three different information channels. Multiple frequency conversion is implemented efficiently by manipulating the spectra of the control fields to scatter atomic spin coherence. This multiple frequency conversion is expected to have potential applications in information processing and communication network.展开更多

The single photon scattering amplitudes are obtained using the real-space Hamiltonian. The calculated results show that the probability of single photon frequency down-or up-conversion can reach a unit by choosing appropriate parameters in the non-dissipative system with perfect chiral coupling.We present a nonreciprocal single photon beam splitter whose frequency of the output photon is different from that of the input photon. The influences of dissipations and non-perfect chiral coupling on the single frequency conversion are also shown. Our results may be useful in designing quantum devices at the single-photon level.展开更多

We show that recently developed inverse-design techniques can be applied to discover new kinds of microstructured fibers and metasurfaces designed to achieve large nonlinear frequency-conversion efficiencies. As a proof of principle, we demonstrate complex, wavelength-scale chalcogenide glass fibers and gallium phosphide three-dimensional metasurfaces exhibiting some of the largest nonlinear conversion efficiencies predicted thus far,e.g., lowering the power requirement for third-harmonic generation by 104 and enhancing second-harmonic generation conversion efficiency by 107. Such enhancements arise because, in addition to enabling a great degree of tunability in the choice of design wavelengths, these optimization tools ensure both frequency-and phase-matching in addition to large nonlinear overlap factors.展开更多

Recently, the concept of geometric phases has been extended to nonlinear optics, following advances in engineering both bulk nonlinear photonic crystals and nonlinear metasurfaces. These new technologies offer a great promise of applications for nonlinear manipulation of light. In this review, we cover the recent theoretical and experimental advances in the field of geometric phases accompanying nonlinear frequency conversion. We first consider the case of bulk nonlinear photonic crystals, in which the interaction between propagating waves is quasi-phase-matched, with an engineerable geometric phase accumulated by the light. Nonlinear photonic crystals can offer efficient and robust frequency conversion in both the linearized and fully-nonlinear regimes of interaction, and allow for several applications including adiabatic mode conversion, electromagnetic nonreciprocity and novel topological effects for light. We then cover the rapidly-growing field of nonlinear Pancharatnam-Berry metasurfaces, which allow the simultaneous nonlinear generation and shaping of light by using ultrathin optical elements with subwavelength phase and amplitude resolution. We discuss the macroscopic selection rules that depend on the rotational symmetry of the constituent meta-atoms, the order of the harmonic generations, and the change in circular polarization. Continuous geometric phase gradients allow the steering of light beams and shaping of their spatial modes. More complex designs perform nonlinear imaging and multiplex nonlinear holograms, where the functionality is varied according to the generated harmonic order and polarization. Recent advancements in the fabrication of three dimensional nonlinear photonic crystals, as well as the pursuit of quantum light sources based on nonlinear metasurfaces, offer exciting new possibilities for novel nonlinear optical applications based on geometric phases.展开更多

In every single call the prelude and coda are mostly mono-timbre sounds whose dominantsounds are mainly the basic sound (BS) with the main peak frequency of about 4000 Hz. Themajority of the loud songs consist of 5--8 vari-toned syllables (VTS) 'Weiying'. The process of frequency conversion consists of the pre-mixed tone 'Wei', with BS as thedominant sound, mid-mixed tone and 'Ying' with the inferior sound (IS_2) of 3--5 octave ofBS as the dominant sound. The inferior sound (IS_1) of 1.5--2 octave of BS is a sound accom-paniment of low intensity. In the process of frequency couversion, although no obviouschange occurs in the contraction frequency of sounding muscle (SMc), about 220±25 Hz,obvious differences occur in the twitch property of it. BS, IS_1 and IS_2 are respectively excitedby quasi-sine and saw-tooth twitches. The velocities of upward and downward sound accom-paniment movements of the abdomen are respectively about 2.5--5 cm/s and 5 cm/s on anaverage.展开更多

文摘One of the major difficulties in realizing a high-dimensional frequency converter for conventional optical vortex(COV)modes stems from the difference in ring diameter of the COV modes with different topological charge numbers l.Here,we implement a high-dimensional frequency converter for perfect optical vortex(POV)modes with invariant sizes by way of the four-wave mixing(FWM)process using Bessel–Gaussian beams instead of Laguerre–Gaussian beams.The measured conversion efficiency from 1530 to 795 nm is independent of l at least in subspace l∈{-6,………,6},and the achieved conversion fidelities for two-dimensional(2D)superposed POV states exceed 97%.We further realize the frequency conversion of 3D,5D,and 7D superposition states with fidelities as high as 96.70%,89.16%,and 88.68%,respectively.The proposed scheme is implemented in hot atomic vapor.It is also compatible with the cold atomic system and may find applications in high-capacity and long-distance quantum communication.

文摘Low-frequency signals have been proven valuable in the fields of target detection and geological exploration.Nevertheless,the practical implementation of these signals is hindered by large antenna diameters,limiting their potential applications.Therefore,it is imperative to study the creation of lowfrequency signals using antennas with suitable dimensions.In contrast to conventional mechanical antenna techniques,our study generates low-frequency signals in the spatial domain utilizing the principle of the Doppler effect.We also defines the antenna array architecture,the timing sequency,and the radiating element signal waveform,and provides experimental prototypes including 8/64 antennas based on earlier research.In the conducted experiments,121 MHz,40 MHz,and 10 kHz composite signals are generated by 156 MHz radiating element signals.The composite signal spectrum matches the simulations,proving our low-frequency signal generating method works.This holds significant implications for research on generating low-frequency signals with small-sized antennas.

文摘Near-infrared single photon sources in telecommunication bands, especially at 1550 nm, are required for long-distance quantum communication. Here a down-conversion quantum interface is implemented, where the single photons emitted from single In As quantum dot at 864 nm is down converted to 1552 nm by using a fiber-coupled periodically poled lithium niobate（PPLN） waveguide and a 1.95 μmm pump laser, and the frequency conversion efficiency is ~40%. The singlephoton purity of quantum dot emission is preserved during the down-conversion process, i.e., g^（（2））（0）, only 0.22 at 1552 nm.This present technique advances the Ⅲ-Ⅴ semiconductor quantum dots as a promising platform for long-distance quantum communication.
文摘The emerging of commercial high-voltage gallium nitride(GaN) power devices provides extraordinary switching performance over silicone devices, which enables high-voltage power conversion switching at megahertz range.Such outstanding features also pose strong challenges for device packaging design since the package parasitics can significantly influence the device switching characteristics, and thus can shadow the advantages brought by GaN devices. Designers have been dealing with these challenges brought by high du/dt and high-frequency switching operation even since the silicon(Si) era when fast switching Si MOSFET is first developed and came up with lots of inspiring advanced power module packaging structures to mitigate the problems.This paper presents a review of advanced power module packaging and integration structures that are suitable for high frequency power conversion.The review covers the heritage from the high frequency Si MOSFET packaging to the state-of-the-art for GaN devices.

文摘Nd3＋,Eu3＋ and Tb3＋ ions doped transparent chlorophosphate glass ceramics were prepared and their frequency-conversion properties were studied. X-ray diffraction （XRD） patterns evidenced the formation of expected halide nanocrystals. The absorption,excitation and emission spectra investigation indicated that some of rare earth （RE） ions were trapped in low phonon energy halide nanocrystals,and therefore an efficient down frequency-conversion was observed. The comparative spectroscopic studies of RE doped samples suggested that the glass ceramics systems are potentially applicable as efficient ultraviolet to visible frequency-conversion photonics materials.
文摘In this paper, the frequency conversion property Df Mingming cicada songs is revealedand its dynamic process is given. In every single call the prelude and coda are mostly mono-timbre sounds whose dominantsounds are mainly the basic sound (BS) with the main peak frequency of about 4000 Hz. Themajority of the loud songs consist of 5--8 vari-toned syllables (VTS) 'Weiying'. The process of frequency conversion consists of the pre-mixed tone 'Wei', with BS as thedominant sound, mid-mixed tone and 'Ying' with the inferior sound (IS_2) of 3--5 octave ofBS as the dominant sound. The inferior sound (IS_1) of 1.5--2 octave of BS is a sound accom-paniment of low intensity. In the process of frequency couversion, although no obviouschange occurs in the contraction frequency of sounding muscle (SMc), about 220±25 Hz,obvious differences occur in the twitch property of it. BS, IS_1 and IS_2 are respectively excitedby quasi-sine and saw-tooth twitches. The velocities of upward and downward sound accom-paniment movements of the abdomen are respectively about 2.5--5 cm/s and 5 cm/s on anaverage.
