Supercontinuum generation pumped by a regeneratively mode-locked fiber laser

Supercontinuum（SC） generation in a dispersion-shifted fiber（DSF） pumped by a 10 GHz regeneratively mode-locked fiber laser（RMLFL） is presented. Optimization of pump wavelength leads to a 20 dB bandwidth of 58.73 nm,which covers the whole C band and part of L band. Using an angle-tuning thin film filter, multi-wavelength and pico-second pulse trains of low chirp could be chosen from the SC spectrum. Amplified spontaneous emission（ASE） induced degeneration of the achieved pulse trains is observed and discussed.

Photoluminescence origin of nanocrystalline SiC films

The nanocrystalline SiC films were prepared on Si then annealed at 800℃ and 1 000℃ for 30 minutes （111） substrates by rf magnetron sputtering and in a vacuum annealing system. The crystal structure and crystallization of as-annealed SiC films were determined by the Fourier transform infrared （FIR） absorption spectra and the X-ray diffraction （XRD） analysis. Measurement of photoluminescence （PL） of the nanocrystalline SiC （nc-SiC） films shows that the blue light with 473 nm and 477 nm wavelengths emitted at room temperature and that the PL peak shifts to shorter wavelength side and the PL intensity becomes stronger as the annealing temperature decreases. The time-resolved spectrum of the PL at 477 nm exhibits a bi-exponential decay process with lifetimes of 600 ps and 5 ns and a characteristic of the direct band gap. The strong blue light emission with short PL lifetimes suggests that the quantum confinement effect of the SiC nanocrystals resulted in the radiative recombination of the direct optical transitions.     

Development of CRT＇s corner cutting repair systems

CRT Corner cutting tube is considered as a definitive reject and will be sent to reclaim at all times. It caused lots of material loss. In this paper, a novel technology used to save CRTs corner cutting tube is presented firstly. A set of repair system has been successfully developed to repair CRTs corner cutting tube. Then, the process technology for corner cutting repair has been excogitated by empirical studies. Finally, the correlative performances of repaired tube are evaluated. The experimental results show that the quality of repaired tube has no difference with that of normal product. The repair yield has reached above 97 percent. This new technology has contributed to improving the production yield, reducing the material consumption and decreasing the cost of color CRT production.
