Photon Noise Suppression by a Built-in Feedback Loop
摘要： Visionary quantum photonic networks need transform-limited single photons on demand. Resonance fluorescence on a quantum dot provides the access to a solid-state single photon source, where the environment is unfortunately the source of spin and charge noise that leads to fluctuations of the emission frequency and destroys the needed indistinguishability. We demonstrate a built-in stabilization approach for the photon stream, which relies solely on charge carrier dynamics of a two-dimensional hole gas inside a micropillar structure. The hole gas is fed by hole tunneling from field-ionized excitons and influences the energetic position of the excitonic transition by changing the local electric field at the position of the quantum dot. The standard deviation of the photon noise is suppressed by nearly 50% (noise power reduction of 6 dB) and it works in the developed micropillar structure for frequencies up to 1 kHz. This built-in feedback loop represents an easy way for photon noise suppression in large arrays of single photon emitters and promises to reach higher bandwidth by device optimization.

Controlling steady-state second harmonic signal via linear and nonlinear Fano resonances
摘要： Nonlinear signal even from a single molecule becomes visible at hot spots of plasmonic nanoparticles. In these structures, Fano resonances can control the nonlinear response in two ways. (i) A linear Fano resonance can enhance the hot spot field, resulting enhanced nonlinear signal. (ii) A nonlinear Fano resonance can enhance the nonlinear signal without enhancing the hot spot. In this study, we compare the enhancement of second harmonic signal at the steady-state obtained via these two methods. Since we are interested in the steady-state signal, we adapt a linear enhancement which works at the steady-state. This is different than the dark-hot resonances that appear in the transparency window due to enhanced plasmon lifetime.

Continuous wave pumped supercontinuum assisted by a weak femtosecond pulse seed
摘要： We numerically investigate the effects of a weak coherent femtosecond (fs) pulse seed on the continuous wave (CW) pumped supercontinuum (SC) generation. We analyze the evolution of CW pumped SC generation with various random noises and we observe the instabilities, which are initiated by modulation instability, in the spectrum of the SC. To actively control the instabilities, we introduce a weak coherent fs pulse seed to improve the properties of CW pumped SC in terms of spectral bandwidth and pulse-to-pulse stability. The detailed numerical results corroborate that the frequency shift and the peak power of the seed signi?cantly decide the properties of the SC. The present investigation would be highly useful for realizing a broad CW pumped SC with enhanced coherence and SNR.

Multi-beamlet investigation of the deflection compensation methods of SPIDER beamlets
摘要： SPIDER (Source for Production of Ions of Deuterium Extracted from a Rf plasma) is an ion source test bed designed to extract and accelerate a negative ion current up to 40 A and 100 kV whose first beam is expected by the end of 2016. Two main effects perturb beamlet optics during the acceleration stage: space charge repulsion and the deflection induced by the permanent magnets (called co-extracted electron suppression magnets) embedded in the EG. The purpose of this work is to evaluate and compare benefits, collateral effects, and limitations of electrical and magnetic compensation methods for beamlet deflection. The study of these methods has been carried out by means of numerical modeling tools: multi-beamlet simulations have been performed for the first time.

A High-precision Technique to Correct for Residual Atmospheric Dispersion in High-contrast Imaging Systems
摘要： Direct detection and spectroscopy of exoplanets requires high-contrast imaging. For habitable exoplanets in particular, located at a small angular separation from the host star, it is crucial to employ small inner working angle (IWA) coronagraphs that ef?ciently suppress starlight. These coronagraphs, in turn, require careful control of the wavefront that directly impacts their performance. For ground-based telescopes, atmospheric refraction is also an important factor, since it results in a smearing of the point-spread function (PSF), that can no longer be ef?ciently suppressed by the coronagraph. Traditionally, atmospheric refraction is compensated for by an atmospheric dispersion compensator (ADC). ADC control relies on an a priori model of the atmosphere whose parameters are solely based on the pointing of the telescope, which can result in imperfect compensation. For a high-contrast instrument like the Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics (SCExAO) system, which employs very small IWA coronagraphs, refraction-induced smearing of the PSF has to be less than 1 mas in the science band for the ?rst on-sky measurement and correction of residual optimum performance. In this paper, we present atmospheric dispersion. Atmospheric dispersion is measured from the science image directly, using an adaptive grid of arti?cially introduced speckles as a diagnostic to feedback to the telescope’s ADC. With our current setup, we were able to reduce the initial residual atmospheric dispersion from 18.8 mas to 4.2 in broadband light (y- to H-band) and to 1.4 mas in the H-band only. This work is particularly relevant to the upcoming extremely large telescopes (ELTs) that will require ?ne control of their ADC to reach their full high-contrast imaging potential.

Quadrature squeezing of the mechanical mode in a superconducting electromechanical system
摘要： We propose a scheme for realizing quadrature squeezing of the mechanical mode in a superconducting electromechanical system, where a nanomechanical resonator (NAMR) is coupled to a superconducting transmission line resonator (STLR) via a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID), and the SQUID acts as a qubit. Under a large detuning condition, we use the Fr?hlich-Nakajima transformation to adiabatically eliminate the qubit and obtain an effective Hamiltonian for the STLR and the NAMR. Our results show that a strong squeezing effect (beyond 3 dB limit) can occur in the NAMR, and the squeezing degree can be optimized by controlling the strength of the driving field and the dissipation ratio of the system. One of the most notable features of our results is the universality, i.e. the results only depend on a few scaled quantities, not on too many parameters.

Intermixed Superlattices
摘要： The enhancement of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) with a GaAs/AlAs intermixed superlattice that works as a χ (3)-quasi-phase-matched structure is studied, where such Kerr-induced effects as four-wave mixing (FWM), self-phase-modulation (SPM), cross-phase-modulation (XPM), and two-photon absorption (TPA) are included. In particular, the efficiency of anti-Stokes generation is enhanced here; anti-Stokes generation inherently has an extremely small efficiency due to a phase mismatch in the interaction of the pump, Stokes, and anti-Stokes waves (while the efficiency of Stokes generation is sufficiently large because of no such phase mismatch). The superlattice enhances the anti-Stokes efficiency up to the order of 103 when compared with that without the superlattice, particularly at a small pump intensity. In this enhancement, it is seen that there is an efficiency boost via simultaneous FWM. In this situation, it is shown how much SPM and XPM degrade the efficiency enhancement. Furthermore, an optimal superlattice length is identified that provides the highest efficiency. The degradation of the efficiency at the optimized length due to TPA is also analyzed. Finally, to gain more anti-Stokes efficiency (or control the sizes of the Stokes and anti-Stokes efficiencies), a photonic-band-gap cavity structure is proposed.

摘要： We present an accurate model of integral imaging display based on wave optics. The model enables accurate characterization of the display through simulated perceived images by the human visual system. Thus, it is useful to investigate the capabilities of the display in terms of various quality factors such as depth of field and resolution, as well as delivering visual cues such as focus. Furthermore, due to the adopted wave optics formalism, simulation and analysis of more advanced techniques such as wavefront coding for increased depth of field are also possible.

摘要： A circular phased-locked Airy beam array carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) propagating through turbulent atmosphere is investigated in detail. The results testify that the OAM modes generated by the array are closely associated with the number of beamlets, requiring the number of beamlets at least twice more than the values of the OAM signal precisely. Furthermore, through multiple-phase-screen simulations, it is shown that the anti-jamming performance of an Airy beam array is significantly enhanced.

Design Study of Time-Preserving Grating Monochromators for Ultrashort Pulses in the Extreme-Ultraviolet and Soft X-Rays
摘要： The design of grating-based instruments to handle and condition coherent ultrafast pulses in the extreme-ultraviolet is discussed. The main application of such instruments is the monochromatization of high-order laser harmonics and free-electron-laser pulses in the femtosecond time scale. Broad-band monochromators require the use of diffraction gratings at grazing incidence. A grating can be used for the spectral selection of ultrashort pulses without altering the pulse duration in a significant way, provided that the number of illuminated grooves is equal to the resolution. We discuss here the design conditions to be fulfilled by a grating monochromator that does not increase the pulse duration significantly longer than the Fourier limit.
