It is found that whether the nonlinear coefficient g is positive or negative, the dark solitons can be formed over the whole dispersion relation area of surface polaritons considering nonlinear effects. Attention should be paid to the fact that around , the light pulse can form advanced dark solitons, and there is a switching area from advanced dark soliton to retarded dark soliton near . We also discuss the effects of higher nonlinear dispersion on the solitons.展开更多

Under electromagnetically induced transparency, a single signal pulse is stored in the spin coherence of the crystal. By simultaneously switching on two control fields to recall the stored information, the spin coherence is converted into two slow light pulses with distinct frequencies. Furthermore, the storage and controlled retrieval of double slow light pulses are obtained by manipulating the control fields. This study of double slow light pulses may have practical applications in information processing and all-optical networks.展开更多

This work reveals a new possible way to the reversible storage of the photonic information.展开更多

The coherence of the pulse plays an important role for superluminal propagation. When the pulse becomes partially coherent, the propagation changes from superluminal to sublumiiial. The energy velocity is always less than the vacuum velocity. The shape of the pulse is changed during the propagation.展开更多

The system consists of an erbium-doped fiber amplifier （EDFA）, a semiconductor optical amplifier （SOA）, and a fiber ring resonator. The results show that the multisoliton generation with a free spectrum range of 2.4 nm and a pulse spectral width of 0.96 nm is achieved. The memory time of 15 min and the maximum soliton output power of 5.94 dBm are noted, respectively. This means that light pulses can be trapped, i.e., stopped optically within the fiber ring resonator.展开更多

Methods: a prospective study was conducted to collect 15 patients with Demodex blepharitis diagnosed in Zigong first people's Hospital from September 2020 to may 2021 and ineffective after treatment with tea tree essential oil for 3 months. They were treated with IPL for 4 times (the first 3 times, with an interval of 2 weeks, and the last time with an interval of 4 weeks). The symptoms and symptoms of patients before and after treatment (2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks) were observed changes in the total amount of Demodex and the number of Demodex in different stages. Results: during the 3-month follow-up period, the symptom score and the number of Demodex decreased significantly. Before treatment, at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks after treatment, the symptom scores were 9.69 ± 2.06, 9.08 ± 2.02, 7.85 ± 2.34, 3.69 ± 2.84 and 3.23 ± 3.19 respectively. The symptoms improved from the 8th week, and the difference was statistically significant compared with that before treatment (P < 0.05);The total amount of Demodex was 17 (11.5, 26.25), 13.5 (11, 18.75), 11.5 (8.5, 16.75), 7 (5.25, 11.25) and 6 (1.75, 7.75) respectively. From the 8th week, the total amount of Demodex was lower than that before treatment (P < 0.05). The number of Demodex decreased mainly in adults (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the number of eggs and larvae (P ≥ 0.05). Conclusion: IPL is an effective method for the treatment of refractory Demodex blepharitis.展开更多

To verify the hypothesis of the invariance of light speed, a new method must be found to take accurate measurement of the infinitesimal change in the travelling time of light. The thesis suggests the adoption of high frequency laser pulse technology to carry out the measurement. On the basis of this idea a new discriminating experiment is proposed to test the hypothesis of the invariance of light speed. The thesis also makes some forecast of the future prospects of this experiment and of the future development of the theory of special relativity.展开更多

A collective variable approach is used to obtain a system of variational equations which give the evolution of the light pulses parameters as a function of the propagation distance. The collective coordinate approach is incomparably faster than the direct numerical simulation of the propagation equation. This allows us to obtain, efficiently, a global mapping of the 3D pulsating soliton. In addition it allows describing the influence of the parameters of the equation on the various physical parameters of the pulse and their dynamics.展开更多

文摘We experimentally study the generation and storage of double slow light pulses in a pr^3＋：Y2SiO5 crystal. Under electromagnetically induced transparency, a single signal pulse is stored in the spin coherence of the crystal. By simultaneously switching on two control fields to recall the stored information, the spin coherence is converted into two slow light pulses with distinct frequencies. Furthermore, the storage and controlled retrieval of double slow light pulses are obtained by manipulating the control fields. This study of double slow light pulses may have practical applications in information processing and all-optical networks.

文摘In this paper, we discuss what causes the superluminal propagation of a pulse through dispersion by solving Maxwell's equations without any approximation. The coherence of the pulse plays an important role for superluminal propagation. When the pulse becomes partially coherent, the propagation changes from superluminal to sublumiiial. The energy velocity is always less than the vacuum velocity. The shape of the pulse is changed during the propagation.

文摘Although perovskite solar cells(PSCs)have achieved a high power conversion efficiency(PCE)within a short period of development,the high-temperature sintering of the constituent electron-selective layers(ESLs)impedes the commercialization.In this report,we demonstrate the effectiveness of an intensepulsed-light(IPL)treatment for the rapid and damage-free sintering of amorphous-SnO_(2)ESLs for use in PSCs.The IPL treatment of amorphous-SnO_(2)substantially reduced the amount of surface hydroxyl groups,modified the surface energy,and enabled the growth of a low-stress perovskite layer with large grain sizes,all of which enhanced the photovoltaic properties and led to the proper alignment of band structures for efficient PSCs.Through comprehensive optimization of the IPL conditions,a PCE of 17.68%was achieved from the MAPb I3 planar PSC based on an amorphous-SnO_(2)IPL treated for a few tens of seconds,which was significantly increased compared with a PCE(7.06%)of nontreated SnO_(2)based counterpart.In addition,the PCE of the IPL-treated SnO_(2)based PSC is comparable to the best PCE(18.16%)of PSCs fabricated with SnO_(2)ESL annealed for three hours at 185℃.Because of its ultrafast sintering time and tendency to not damage SnO_(2)ESLs,the new IPL process is expected to open new opportunities for the commercialization of PSCs.

文摘AIM:To investigate the efficacy and mechanisms of indirect intense pulsed light(IPL)irradiation on meibomian gland dysfunction(MGD).METHODS:A total of 60 MGD patients was included in this prospective randomized controlled trial.Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 into two groups(3-mm group and 10-mm group)in which IPL was applied at distances from the lower eyelid margin of 3 and 10 mm,respectively.Both groups received three times treatment with 3-week interval.Meibomian gland yield secretion score(MGYSS),standard patient evaluation of eye dryness(SPEED)questionnaire,tear break-up time(TBUT),corneal fluorescein staining(CFS),and in vivo confocal microscopy were performed at baseline and after every treatment.RESULTS:After three IPL treatments,both groups had significant improvement in MGYSS(both P<0.05).The noninferiority test showed that improvement in 10-mm group was not inferior to that in 3-mm group(P<0.001).In both groups,temporal regions of both upper and lower eyelids showed significant improvement in MGYSS.Scores of SPEED questionnaire in both groups declined significantly(both P<0.001)and changes of SPEED had no difference between two groups(P=0.57).Density of central corneal subepithelial nerves and TBUTs showed no statistically significant changes.The 3-mm group had improvement on corneal fluorescein staining(P=0.048)and meibomian gland morphology(acini wall thickness P=0.003,hyperreflective points P=0.024)while the 10-mm group had not.CONCLUSION:The efficacy of IPL indirect irradiation in improving meibomian gland secretion and alleviating dry eye symptoms remains unchanged with increase in treatment distance.IPL may primarily act on the functional improvement of the meibomian glands and corneal nerves.
文摘Objective: to observe the efficacy of intense pulsed light (IPL) in the treatment of refractory Demodex blepharitis. Methods: a prospective study was conducted to collect 15 patients with Demodex blepharitis diagnosed in Zigong first people's Hospital from September 2020 to may 2021 and ineffective after treatment with tea tree essential oil for 3 months. They were treated with IPL for 4 times (the first 3 times, with an interval of 2 weeks, and the last time with an interval of 4 weeks). The symptoms and symptoms of patients before and after treatment (2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks) were observed changes in the total amount of Demodex and the number of Demodex in different stages. Results: during the 3-month follow-up period, the symptom score and the number of Demodex decreased significantly. Before treatment, at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks after treatment, the symptom scores were 9.69 ± 2.06, 9.08 ± 2.02, 7.85 ± 2.34, 3.69 ± 2.84 and 3.23 ± 3.19 respectively. The symptoms improved from the 8th week, and the difference was statistically significant compared with that before treatment (P < 0.05);The total amount of Demodex was 17 (11.5, 26.25), 13.5 (11, 18.75), 11.5 (8.5, 16.75), 7 (5.25, 11.25) and 6 (1.75, 7.75) respectively. From the 8th week, the total amount of Demodex was lower than that before treatment (P < 0.05). The number of Demodex decreased mainly in adults (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the number of eggs and larvae (P ≥ 0.05). Conclusion: IPL is an effective method for the treatment of refractory Demodex blepharitis.
文摘This thesis puts forward a conjecture that, owing to some unknown special character of light, it is impossible to determine whether the speed of light is variable by the interference method. To verify the hypothesis of the invariance of light speed, a new method must be found to take accurate measurement of the infinitesimal change in the travelling time of light. The thesis suggests the adoption of high frequency laser pulse technology to carry out the measurement. On the basis of this idea a new discriminating experiment is proposed to test the hypothesis of the invariance of light speed. The thesis also makes some forecast of the future prospects of this experiment and of the future development of the theory of special relativity.

文摘We present a novel mechanism,which is formed by periodically changing the radii of dielectric rods in the middle row of a photonic crystal, to control and stop light. Using the Bloch theory and coupled-mode theoryl the dispersion characteristic of such a photonic crystal coupled cavity optical waveguide is obtained. We also theoretically demonstrate that the group velocity of a light pulse in this system can be modulated by dynamically changing the refractive index or radii of the selected dielectric rods, and the light stopping can be achieved.

文摘Advancements in quantum optics and squeezed light generation have revolutionized various fields of quantum science over the past three decades,with notable applications such as gravitational wave detection.Here,we extend the use of squeezed light to the realm of ultrafast quantum science.We demonstrate the generation of the shortest ultrafast synthesized quantum light pulses spanning 0.33 to 0.73 PHz by a degenerate four-wave mixing nonlinear process.Experimental metrology results confirm that these pulses exhibit amplitude squeezing,which is consistent with theoretical predictions.Moreover,we observe the temporal dynamics of amplitude uncertainty of the squeezed light,demonstrating that quantum uncertainty of light is controllable and tunable in real time.Additionally,we demonstrate control over the quantum state of light by switching between amplitude and phase squeezing.Our ability to generate and manipulate ultrafast,squeezed,synthesized light waveforms with attosecond resolution unlocks exciting possibilities for quantum technologies,including petahertz-scale secure quantum communication,quantum computing,and ultrafast spectroscopy.As an example,we introduce an attosecond quantum encryption protocol leveraging squeezed synthesized light for secure digital communication at unprecedented speeds.This work paves the way for exploring quantum uncertainty dynamics and establishes the foundation for the emerging ultrafast and attosecond quantum science fields.
文摘A semi-analytical approach for the pulsating solutions of the 3D complex Cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau Equation (CGLE) is presented in this article. A collective variable approach is used to obtain a system of variational equations which give the evolution of the light pulses parameters as a function of the propagation distance. The collective coordinate approach is incomparably faster than the direct numerical simulation of the propagation equation. This allows us to obtain, efficiently, a global mapping of the 3D pulsating soliton. In addition it allows describing the influence of the parameters of the equation on the various physical parameters of the pulse and their dynamics.
