The design methodology begins with a common...This paper presents a novel approach to design a compact circular rat-race coupler with an ultrawide stopband, with the aim to reduce its size while maintaining performance. The design methodology begins with a common miniaturization technique to replace the conventional quarter-wavelength transmission line with an equivalent low-pass filter loaded with parallel coupled line and radial stubs. Since the latter leads to produce higher order harmonics, parasitic open-ended stubs are then properly introduced in the structure not only to overcome the issue but also to produce controllable transmission zeros. A versatile analytical model is also developed taking into account manufacturing restrictions, which makes it possible to extract the physical parameters of the coupler unit-cell for a given desired compactness percentage with respect to the conventional rat-race coupler. A prototype is fabricated and measured to validate the design,demonstrating the predicted behavior fairly achieved by numerical analysis. A significant size reduction of about 86.1% was achieved compared to the conventional design, while effectively suppressing higher order modes up to 23.4 GHz(including the 13th harmonic based on |S11|>-5 dB and |S21|<-17 dB)with high isolation level(|S41|<-17 dB) between the ports.展开更多

文摘This study examines the high-order harmonic radiation behavior of MgO crystals driven by combined pulses based on the numerical solution of the semiconductor Bloch equation.We found that compared with the monochromatic pulse,the MgO crystal can radiate a continuous harmonic spectrum with two platforms driven by the three-color combined pulse.The reason is that under the three-color combined pulse,the electron ionization and recombination can be effectively controlled within a half-optical cycle of the laser pulse.Using this continuous spectrum,we synthesized an isolated attosecond pulse with a duration of approximately 370 as.This study provides a new perspective on all-solid-state compact optical devices.
文摘This study reports a passive mode-locked Thulium-Holmium co-doped fiber laser featuring a figure-9 shaped resonator structure.The laser utilizes a nonlinear amplifying loop mirror(NALM)as the mode-locking device.By increasing pump power,the laser’s output evolution was experimentally observed,showing that bright-dark pulse pairs first split into double pulses and then into a second harmonic state.Additionally,the time intervals between bright and dark pulses and between double pulses increased with higher pump power.The RF spectrum of the bright-dark pulse pairs exhibited envelope modulation,with a modulation frequency approximately equal to the reciprocal of the time interval between bright and dark pulses.When the pump power increased from 0.46 W to 0.72 W,the reciprocal of the modulation frequency showed a linear growth trend.These findings contribute to understanding the evolution patterns of bright-dark pulse pairs in passive mode-locked fiber lasers.

文摘This study systematically investigates the attractor characteristics of harmonic solitons in a passively modelocked fiber laser.Through comprehensive analysis in both time and frequency domains,we examine the evolution of pulse width,spectral bandwidth,and energy across different harmonic orders.The results demonstrate typical soliton attractor behaviors,including attractiveness,dissipativity,and self-organization.In the transition regions between harmonic orders,breathing harmonic soliton states are captured using the time-stretched dispersive Fourier transform.By comparing the breathing dynamics with the stable states,the existence and self-organizing nature of soliton attractors are further confirmed.Finally,harmonic soliton attractors are employed as programmable light sources to achieve ternary optical coding.
文摘This paper presents a novel approach to design a compact circular rat-race coupler with an ultrawide stopband, with the aim to reduce its size while maintaining performance. The design methodology begins with a common miniaturization technique to replace the conventional quarter-wavelength transmission line with an equivalent low-pass filter loaded with parallel coupled line and radial stubs. Since the latter leads to produce higher order harmonics, parasitic open-ended stubs are then properly introduced in the structure not only to overcome the issue but also to produce controllable transmission zeros. A versatile analytical model is also developed taking into account manufacturing restrictions, which makes it possible to extract the physical parameters of the coupler unit-cell for a given desired compactness percentage with respect to the conventional rat-race coupler. A prototype is fabricated and measured to validate the design,demonstrating the predicted behavior fairly achieved by numerical analysis. A significant size reduction of about 86.1% was achieved compared to the conventional design, while effectively suppressing higher order modes up to 23.4 GHz(including the 13th harmonic based on |S11|>-5 dB and |S21|<-17 dB)with high isolation level(|S41|<-17 dB) between the ports.

文摘We theoretically investigate the elliptical high-order harmonic generation from H_(2)^(+)in two-color cross-linearlypolarized laser fields by numerically solving the two-dimensional time-dependent Schr¨odinger equation.Numerical simulations show that the crossing-angle-dependent harmonic ellipticity exhibits a prominent antisymmetric structure,which tends to disappear as the internuclear distance increases.Furthermore,ground-state electrons experience resonant transitions to the first excited state at larger internuclear distances,where the disruption of symmetric electron motion suppresses the antisymmetric structure.Additionally,a near-circularly-polarized attosecond pulse can be obtained by modulating the crossing angle.

文摘Molecular high-order harmonic spectroscopy is a significant advancement in ultrafast science, enabling the measurement of multielectron dynamics with attosecond temporal resolution. The fine structures observed in the molecular harmonic spectrum provide crucial insights into the structural or multielectron dynamical effects induced by intense laser fields. In this study, we measure the high-order harmonic spectrum of aligned CO_(2) molecules contributed from short trajectories. Two distinct groups of minima are identified in the plateau region. Our findings indicate that the deeper-lying molecular orbitals and two-center interference play significant roles in molecular harmonic generation. The results pave the way for advancing the understanding of multielectron dynamics in polyatomic molecules under intense laser fields.

文摘Second harmonic generation(SHG),a fundamental and widely-studied phenomenon in nonlinear optics,has attracted significant attention for its ability to convert fundamental frequencies into their second harmonics.While the dominant SHG research has been focused on the optical and infrared regimes,its investigation in the microwave range presents challenges due to the requirements of materials with higher nonlinear coefficients and high-power microwave sources.Here,we provide an overview of methods together with underlying mechanisms for SHG in microwave frequencies,and discuss prospects and insights into the future developments of SHG-based technologies.The discussions on both numerical analyses and experimental studies will offer guidance for further SHG research and communication advancements in microwave regime.
