Published: May 2009

A monolithically integrated InP/InGaAsP 1?5 optical phased-array switch is demonstrated for broadband wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) optical packet switching (OPS) application. Using the wide optical bandwidth of the switch, we achieve error-free forwarding of 320-Gbps (40-Gbps?8 channel) WDM signal with less than 1.3-dB penalty. Since the switch consists of only phase-modulating section, it is free from nonlinear signal distortion and inter-channel crosstalks, allowing large dynamic range of input power. The application to WDM-OPS testbed is demonstrated successfully, where 320-Gbps WDM payloads are routed synchronously to the optical label.

When using a fiber optic gyroscope as the core measurement element in an inertial navigation system, its work stability and reliability directly affect the accuracy of the navigation system. The modeling and fault diagnosis of the gyroscope is of great significance in ensuring the high accuracy and long endurance of the inertial system. Traditional diagnostic models often encounter challenges in terms of reliability and accuracy, for example, difficulties in feature extraction, high computational cost, and long training time.

Broader adoption of 4D ultrafast electron microscopy (UEM) for the study of chemical, materials, and quantum systems is being driven by development of new instruments as well as continuous improvement and characterization of existing technologies. Perhaps owing to the still-high barrier to entry, the full range of capabilities of laser-driven 4D UEM instruments has yet to be established, particularly when operated at extremely low beam currents (~fA). Accordingly, with an eye on beam stability, we have conducted particle tracing simulations of unconventional off-axis photoemission geometries in a UEM equipped with a thermionic-emission gun.

Article Synopsis
  • The study reveals that laser-assisted dynamic interference in electron spectra can be experimentally observed using attosecond pulse trains, demonstrating fine interference patterns smaller than the energy of individual laser photons.
  • Theoretical simulations align with experimental findings, utilizing methods like the time-dependent Schrödinger equation and strong-field approximation to support the results.
  • Further analysis emphasizes the significance of phase variations in electron wave packets, showing that the manipulation of electron behavior in the continuum is achievable through advanced multicolor laser techniques controlled at attosecond timescales.

Inelastic interaction between coherent light with constant frequency and free electrons enables periodic phase modulation of electron wave packets leading to periodic sidebands in the electron energy spectra. In this Letter, we propose a generalization of the interaction by considering linearly chirped electron wave packets interacting with chirped optical fields. We theoretically demonstrate that when matching the chirp parameters of the electron and light waves, the interaction leads to partial monochromatization of the electron spectra in one of the energy sidebands.

Ultrashort pulses can excite or ionize molecules and populate coherent electronic wave packets, inducing complex dynamics. In this Letter, we simulate the coupled electron-nuclear dynamics upon ionization to different electronic wave packets of (deuterated) benzene and fluoro-benzene molecules, quantum mechanically and in full dimensionality. In fluoro-benzene, the calculations unravel both interstate and intrastate quantum interferences that leave clear signatures of attochemistry and charge-directed dynamics in the shape of the autocorrelation function.
