In addition, we have deeply investigated the real-time spectral evolutions of the mode-locked pulses through the dispersive Fourier transformation(DFT) technique. It can be found that the pulse regime can actually consist of a lot of small noise pulses with randomly varying intensities. We believe that these results will further enrich the nonlinear dynamical processes in the ultrafast lasers.展开更多

Like many low phase noise oscillators, a cavity magnonic oscillator faces the challenge that its narrow resonance profile is not well suited for injection locking amplification. This work presents an improved design for such an oscillator configured as an injection locking amplifier(ILA) with an extended lock range. The proposed design features a two-stage architecture, consisting of a pre-amplification oscillator and a cavity magnonic oscillator, separated by an isolator to prevent backward locking.By optimizing the circuit parameters of each stage, the proposed design achieved an order of magnitude increase in lock range, when compared to its predecessors, all while preserving the phase noise quality of the input, making it well-suited for narrowband, sensitive signal amplification. Furthermore, this work provides a method for using oscillators with high spectral purity as injection locking amplifiers.展开更多

文摘In 2018,Baige,Xizang,witnessed two consecutive large-scale landslides,causing significant damage and drawing widespread attention.From March 2011 to February 2018,the Baige landslide exhibited a 50-m displacement without complete failure,culminating in a collapse in October 2018.The mechanisms behind its resistance to failure despite substantial deformation and the influence of the complex geo-structure within the tectonic mélange belt remain unclear.To address these questions,this study utilized a multidisciplinary approach,integrating on-site geological field mapping,surface deformation monitoring,multielectrode resistivity method,and deep displacement analysis.The aim was to evaluate the impact of the intricate geo-structure within the tectonic mélange belt on the Baige landslide events.Findings reveal that the landslide's geo-structure consists of structurally fractured,mesh-like rock masses,including heterogeneous lenticular rock masses and intermittent brittle shear zones distributed around the lens-shaped rock masses.The study underscores that the inhomogeneous and weakly deformed lenticular rock masses function as natural locked segments,governing the stability of the Baige landslide.Specifically,the relatively intact and hard granodiorite porphyry play a crucial role in locking the landslide's deformation.Deep displacement analysis indicates that the brittle shear zones act as the sliding surfaces.The progressive destruction of the locked segments and the gradual penetration of brittle shear zones,driven by gravitational potential energy,contribute to the landslide occurrence.This research provides critical insights into the formation mechanisms of large-scale landslides within tectonic mélange belts.

文摘Spin-momentum locking is widely regarded as an inherent property of evanescent waves,where the transverse spin angular momentum is intrinsically tied to the wave's polarization.This principle is well established in systems such as surface plasmon polaritons,surface elastic waves,and other evanescent modes.Here,we theoretically unveil an anomalous breakdown of spin-momentum locking in evanescent electromagnetic waves at a metalgyromagnetic interface.We show that the hybrid polarization of the field induces two successive reversals of transverse spin near the interface—directly violating the conventional locking between spin and momentum.As a result,identical chiral sources placed at different heights above the interface excite evanescent waves propagating in opposite directions,defying standard expectations.This discovery challenges the presumed universality of spin-momentum locking and opens new degrees of freedom for controlling wave propagation in photonic and plasmonic systems.
