The results show that the TOD causes the asymmetry of the temporal- and spectral-domain, and the chirp characteristics. The OWB generally appears near the pulse center and at the trailing edge of the pulse, instead of at the two edges of the pulse symmetrically in the case of no TOD. With the increase of distance, the relation of OWB to the TOD near the pulse center increases quickly, leading to the generation of ultra-short pulse trains, while the OWB resulting from the case of no TOD at the trailing edge of the pulse disappears gradually. In addition, the positive （negative） QN enhances （weakens） the chirp amount and the fine structures, thereby inducing the OWB phenomena to appear earlier （later）. Thus, the TOD and the positive （negative） QN are beneficial （detrimental） to the OWB and the generation of ultra-short pulse trains.展开更多

Their second-order hyperpolarizability is estimated to be 0.74× 10^-30esu and 3.0× 10^-3esu respectively. This exhibits an evident enhancement in comparison with 0.47×10^-30esu for one-decker Eu（Pc）（acac） （acac=acetylacetonate）, which is also measured under the same conditions. The enhancement is attributed to the introduction of lanthanide metal to the large π-conjugated system, intermacrocycle interaction and two-photon resonance etc.展开更多

We numerically calculate the linearχ(1)μν(-ω;ω) and nonlinear surface susceptibility tensorsχ(3)μνζη(-ωΣ;ωr,ωs,ωt) withωΣ=ωr+ωs+ωt. Both non-degenerate and degenerate cases are studied for thirdharmonic generation and nonlinear refractive index, respectively. Computational results obtained with no external fitting parameters are discussed regarding two recent reported experiments on Mo S2, and thus we can confirm the extraordinarily strong optical nonlinearity of TMDCs. As a possible application, we demonstrate generation of aπ/4-rotated squeezed state by means of nonlinear response of TMDCs, in a silica micro-disk resonator covered with the 2D material. Our proposed method will enable accurate calculations of nonlinear optical response, such as four-wave mixing and highharmonic generation in 2D materials and their heterostructures, thus enabling study of novel functionalities of 2D photonic integrated circuits.展开更多

The structures and frequencies of Dinaphtho[2,3-b:2’,3’-d]thiophene-5,7,12,13-tetraone (DNTTRA) and its 36 derivatives containing azobenzene were calculated by using density functional theory B3LYP and M06-2X methods at 6-311++g(d, p) level, respectively. Besides, the atomic charges of natural bond orbitals (NBO) were analyzed. The frontier orbitals and electron absorption spectra of A-G5 molecule were calculated by TD-DFT (TD-B3LYP/6-311++g(d, p) and TD-M06-2X/6-311++g(d, p)). The NLO properties were calculated by effective finite field FF method and self-compiled program. The results show that 36 molecules of these six series are D-π-A-π-D structures. The third-order NLO coefficients γ (second-order hyperpolarizability) of the D series molecules are the largest among the six series, reaching 10<sup>7</sup> atomic units (10<sup><span style="color:#4F4F4F;font-family:-apple-system, " font-size:14px;white-space:normal;background-color:#ffffff;"="">-</span>33</sup> esu) of order of magnitude, showing good third-order NLO properties. Last, the third-order NLO properties of the azobenzene ring can be improved by introducing strong electron donor groups (e.g. -N(CH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub> or -NHCH<sub>3</sub>) in the azobenzene ring, so that the third-order NLO materials with good performance can be obtained.展开更多

The structures and frequencies of Dinaphtho[2,3-b:2’,3’-d]thiophene-5,7,12,13-tetraone (DNTTRA) and its 36 derivatives containing azobenzene were calculated by using density functional theory B3LYP and M06-2X methods at 6-311++g(d, p) level, respectively. Besides, the atomic charges of natural bond orbitals (NBO) were analyzed. The frontier orbitals and electron absorption spectra of A-G5 molecule were calculated by TD-DFT (TD-B3LYP/6-311++g(d, p) and TD-M06-2X/6-311++g(d, p)). The NLO properties were calculated by effective finite field FF method and self-compiled program. The results show that 36 molecules of these six series are D-π-A-π-D structures. The third-order NLO coefficients γ (second-order hyperpolarizability) of the D series molecules are the largest among the six series, reaching 10<sup>7</sup> atomic units (10<sup><span style="color:#4F4F4F;font-family:-apple-system, " font-size:14px;white-space:normal;background-color:#ffffff;"="">-</span>33</sup> esu) of order of magnitude, showing good third-order NLO properties. Last, the third-order NLO properties of the azobenzene ring can be improved by introducing strong electron donor groups (e.g. -N(CH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub> or -NHCH<sub>3</sub>) in the azobenzene ring, so that the third-order NLO materials with good performance can be obtained.

文摘In this paper, third-order nonlinear differential operators are studied. It is shown that they are quadratic forms when they preserve invariant subspaces of maximal dimension. A complete description of third-order quadratic operators with constant coefficients is obtained. One example is given to derive special solutions for evolution equations with third-order quadratic operators.

文摘It has still been difficult to solve nonlinear evolution equations analytically.In this paper,we present a deep learning method for recovering the intrinsic nonlinear dynamics from spatiotemporal data directly.Specifically,the model uses a deep neural network constrained with given governing equations to try to learn all optimal parameters.In particular,numerical experiments on several third-order nonlinear evolution equations,including the Korteweg-de Vries(KdV)equation,modified KdV equation,KdV-Burgers equation and Sharma-Tasso-Olver equation,demonstrate that the presented method is able to uncover the solitons and their interaction behaviors fairly well.

文摘Synthesis of the third-order nonlinear materials: bis (1,4-dihydroxynaphthalene) tetrathiafulvalene and bis (1,4-dialkoxylnaphthalene) tetrathiafulvalene has been achieved in four steps, starting from 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthaquinone. The materials exhibit larger third-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities c(3) .
文摘An existence theorem of positive solution is established for a nonlinear third-order three-point boundary value problem. Here, we concentrated on the case that the nonlinear term is neither superlinear nor sublinear, and is not asymptotic at zero and infinity.

文摘A triphenylamine-containing Schiff base ligand(L), namely, N-(4-(1 H-imidazol-1-yl)benzylidene)-N,N-diphenylbenzene-1,4-diamine, was synthesized and characterized. By coordination of the ligand with CdI2, a complex CdI2 L2 was obtained. The structure of the complex was analyzed through single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 25.277(5), b = 11.176(5), c = 17.912(5) ?, β = 106.056(5)°, V = 4863(3) ?3, Z = 4, Dc =1.633 Mg/m3, F(000) = 2360, Μr = 1195.19, μ = 1.766 mm-1, the final R = 0.0323 and wR = 0.0758 for 33414 observed reflections with I > 2?(I). The linear absorption spectra of the complex were experimentally and theoretically studied. And the third-order nonlinear optical(NLO) property of the complex was also measured through Z-scan technique.

文摘We investigate the third-order leader-following consensus problem of nonlinear multi-agent systems in undirected network topologies.Based on graph theory and Lyapunov stability theory,the adaptive control method is employed to achieve leader-following consensus in an undirected network of agents with nonlinear third-order dynamics against the perturbations.Simulation examples validate the correctness of the results and show that the control gains have a great influence on the convergence performance of errors for a short time.
