An...High-entropy alloys （HEAs） usually contain more than five alloying elements. The ductility of a body-centered cubic （bcc）- type HEA typically is lower than that of their face-centered cubic （fcc） counterpart. And low ductility restricts engineering applications of the bcc-structured HEAs. In engineering materials, improvement in ductility usually results in deduction of mechanical strength. A method to improve both mechanical strength and ductility in a bcc-structured HEA was proposed by adding interstitial carbon. Experimental results showed that replacement of 5 at.% Cr with 5 at.% C in a bcc-structured Fe35Mn25Al15Cr10Ni15 HEA resulted in an increase in fcc phase from 0.3 to 93.7 vol.%. Strength and ductility increased at the same time. The transition of bcc-structure to fcc-structure along with a remaining small amount of bcc phase improved mechanical properties. This work indicates that interstitial carbon can be employed to modulate the fraction of constituent phases in a bcc-structured HEA to enhance engineering mechanical properties.展开更多

For the two-channel transmission, a method is proposed to select the four-wave-mixing-induced sidebands, which is based on the proper use of a continuous-wave and a pulse as light sources. We find that a mass of sidebands are generated in the modulation instability resonance region, and the power of the sideband increases with not only the peak power of the pump pulse but also the continuous-wave power which acts as a seed. The research will provide guidance for fiber communication and sensing systems using wavelength division multiplexing technology.展开更多

The results...This paper investigates the effects of walk-off among optical pulses on cross-phase modulation induced modulation instability in the normal dispersion region of an optical fibre with high-order dispersion. The results indicate that, in the case of high-order dispersion, the walk-off effect takes on new characteristics and will influence considerably the shape, position and especially the number of the spectral regions of the gain spectra of modulation instability. Not only the group-velocity mismatch, but also the difference of the third-order dispersion of two optical waves will alter the gain spectra of modulation instability but in different ways. Depending on the values of the walk-off parameters, the number of the spectral regions may increase from two to at most four, and the spectral shape and position may change too.展开更多

文摘Maintaining the s-polarization state of laser beams is important to achieve high modulation depth in a laser-interference-based super-resolution structured illumination microscope(SR-SIM).However,the imperfect optical components can depolarize the laser beams hence degenerating the modulation depth.Here,we first presented a direct measurement method designed to estimate the modulation depth more precisely by shifting illumination patterns with equal phase steps.This measurement method greatly reduces the dependence of modulation depths on the samples,and then developed a polarization optimization method to achieve high modulation depth at all orientations by actively and quantitatively compensating for the additional phase difference using a combination of waveplate and a liquid crystal variable retarder(LCVR).Experimental results demonstrate that our method can achieve illumination patterns with modulation depth higher than 0.94 at three orientations with only one LCVR voltage,which enables isotropic resolution improvement.

文摘Planar lightwave circuit(PLC)splitters have long been foundational components in passive optical communication networks,achieving commercial success since the 1990s.However,their inherent fixed splitting ratios impose significant limitations on capacity expansion,often requiring physical replacement and causing service disruptions.Thermally tunable optical splitters address this challenge by enabling adjustable splitting ratios,but their operation is contingent upon a continuous power supply and complex driving systems.In this work,we present a novel,non-volatile tunable PLC platform based on Sb_(2)S_(3)phase-change materials.The proposed device,which incor-porates a Mach-Zehnder interferometer(MZI)optical switch structure,offers tunable splitting ratios via laser-direct writing or ohmic heating,providing flexible reconfiguration capabilities.Experimental results demonstrate non-volatile power splitting ranging from 50∶50 to 20∶80,with a modest increase of approximately 1 dB in additional loss.This work highlights the potential of the proposed platform for low-power,high-efficiency,and reconfigurable photonic networks.

文摘Designing novel two-dimensional structures and precisely modulating their second harmonic generation(SHG)attributes are key to advancing nonlinear photonic technologies.In this work,through first-principles calculations,we propose a novel tetrahedral phase of transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDs)and validate its structural feasibility in a family of compounds,i.e.,ZX_(2)(Z=Ti,Zr,Hf;X=S,Se,Te).Cohesive energy and phonon dispersion calculations further demonstrate that eight of nine possible ZX_(2)monolayers are dynamically stable.All the ZX_(2)monolayers exhibit pronounced out-of-plane SHG with nonlinear susceptibility components reaching the order of 10^(2)pm/V.Strain engineering imposes a profound influence on the SHG response of ZX_(2)monolayers by reducing symmetry and modifying nonlinear susceptibility components.The redshift and significant enhancement of the prominent peak in SHG spectra are also revealed due to strain-induced charge redistribution and band gap reduction.Intriguingly,strain-driven nonlinear optical switching effects are realized in the ZX_(2)monolayers,with a reversible switching of SHG component ordering under tensile and compressive strain.In such a case,the anisotropic SHG pattern transforms from fourfold to twofold symmetry under the strain.Our work demonstrates the efficacy of strain engineering in precisely enhancing SHG,paving the way for the integration of novel TMD structures into tunable and flexible nonlinear optical devices.

文摘This paper investigates the effects of walk-off among optical pulses on cross-phase modulation induced modulation instability in the normal dispersion region of an optical fibre with high-order dispersion. The results indicate that, in the case of high-order dispersion, the walk-off effect takes on new characteristics and will influence considerably the shape, position and especially the number of the spectral regions of the gain spectra of modulation instability. Not only the group-velocity mismatch, but also the difference of the third-order dispersion of two optical waves will alter the gain spectra of modulation instability but in different ways. Depending on the values of the walk-off parameters, the number of the spectral regions may increase from two to at most four, and the spectral shape and position may change too.
