In this paper, we propose a two-ring conjugated vortex beam interferometer. The inner ring and outer ring of the vortex beams has different signs and topological charges. When combined, they produce an intricate pattern of interference fringes that resemble a flower petal, featuring both concentric inner and outer rings which rotates with different directions. We use the scale-invariant feature transformation algorithm to find the feature points. Then we use these points to measure the rotation angle of the outer ring relative to the inner ring and calculate the displacement based on it. We realize the measurement of sub-nanometer displacement. The displacement resolution is 0.38° nm−1. It is improved by about 12.55% compared with only the inner ring. The displacement corresponding to the minimum detectable angle of CCD is reduced from 0.080 nm to 0.060 nm. It will be a promising method in precision machining micro-vibration sensing, surface unevenness sensing, and microbial movement sensing and high-precision measurement of micro-displacement.

We demonstrate the modulation of laser bandwidth by utilizing an ultranarrow tunable bandpass filter (UNTBF) in a passively Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser. The passive Q-switch mechanism is enabled by using carbon nanotubes as saturable absorber at a Q-switched threshold of 35.5 mW. Based on spectral filtering effect introduced by the UNTBF, the 3 dB laser bandwidth can be tuned from 0.016 nm to 0.478 nm at a fixed pump power of 75.9 mW. The corresponding pulse behavior for each different bandwidth is characterized, and the results reveals that the pulse width can be as well tuned from 7.8 to 2.6 μs against the laser bandwidth, which agrees with the rule of time-bandwidth product. Correspondingly, the pulse repetition rate and the pulse energy vary from 16.23 kHz to 26.16 kHz and from 0.67 to 1.03 μJ respectively across the laser bandwidth. Further investigation of the pulse performance is performed against the pump power increment up to 107.2 mW. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of spectrum bandwidth modulation in a passively Q-switched fiber laser, which can be useful for fully exploiting the possibilities of Q-switched pulse applications.

We interpret the intrinsic mechanism of the transition from geometric modes to eigenmodes in the Gaussian wave-packet representation based on numerical simulation. We then construct multiaxial super-geometric modes and polygonal vortex modes based on Gaussian wave packets. We highlight that the superposition of Gaussian wave packets can build the geometric modes described by Hermite polynomials and that the eigenmodes are the result of the interference of Gaussian wave packets. We conclude that Gaussian wave packets might serve as a complete basis for constructing structured light generated in solid-state laser cavities. Our study may provide meaningful insight into Gaussian wave packets for laser transverse modes.

Supercontinuum (SC) generation in solid-core circular photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) made of Ge20Sb5Se75 is numerically analyzed. A large core is projected to increase light coupling efficiency into selected PCFs as well as raise coupling to standard silica fibers. High nonlinear coefficient and near-zero flat dispersion allow ultraflat SC spanning 1.5–4.6 μm in an all-normal dispersion regime. This requires 3 kW of peak power with 180 fs of pulse duration. The fiber with one zero-dispersion wavelength (ZDW) generates SC bandwidth in the range of 1.54–7.39 μm at 3.5 μm using peak power of 10 kW. For the same input power, the SC spectral covers from 1.39 to 7.36 μm in 10 cm of fiber with two ZDWs. These are wider SC bandwidths than those of previous chalcogenide fibers reached with lower peak powers. Therefore, the proposed Ge20Sb5Se75 PCFs are excellent candidates for the broadband ultraflat mid-infrared SC spectra used in high-speed nonlinear imaging and frequency measurement.

Quantum key agreement (QKA) is an important cryptographic primitive that plays a pivotal role in private communications. Authenticated QKA plays an important role in QKA. In this paper, we propose an authenticated multiparty QKA scheme based on 4-qubit cluster states entanglement swapping. The scheme is divided into two parts, the first part is the quantum identity authentication stage, and the second part is the QKA stage. In the quantum identity authentication stage, the participants determine that the participant communicating with them is the claimed person through mutual authentication, which can avoid the impersonation attack of the eavesdropper Eve. In the QKA phase, the participants adopt a bidirectional transmission structure with the participation of a semi-trusted third party, and based on the entanglement swapping property of the 4-qubit cluster state, the QKA is finally realized. Detailed security analysis shows that the protocol can resist a variety of internal and external attacks, such as participants attack, entangle-measure attack, and so on.

In this paper, the effects of spectral phase modulation on propagation characteristics of Airyprime beams modeled by fractional Schrödinger equation are studied, and the propagation dynamics of Airyprime beams are analyzed. It is found that the second and third-order spectral phase modulation significantly affect the beams dynamics. For the second-order spectral phase modulation, an increase in the Lévy index leads to a forward shift of the peak position, and the peak intensity increases for the positive spectral modulation coefficient, while the opposite tendency of the peak intensity is found for the negative spectral modulation coefficient. In addition, the appearance of multiple peaks depends on the positive modulation coefficient. For the third-order spectral phase modulation, the peak intensity increases under the larger spectral phase modulation coefficient with the backward shift of the maximum peak position, and an increase of the Lévy index results in the forward shift of the focusing position. The results show potential applications of Airyprime beams in various fields such as optical controlling and manipulation.

The effect of environment-assisted measurement and quantum measurement reversal on the entanglement transfer in two parallel Heisenberg spin chains is investigated. We derive the exact analytical expression of the optimal final restoration, show that the distribution entanglement could be restored to the initial value, which is independent of the size of the spin chain. Comparing with the results obtained by the method of weak measurement, our results show notable superiorities on restoration scope and success probability.

The dynamic behavior of the relative entropy of coherence for a two-level system is systematically investigated within non-Markovian environment. We derive the exact expressions of relative entropy quantifying coherence for an exactly solving model consisting of single qubit interacting with independent structured reservoir.
