Simple method for frequency locking of an extended-cavity diode laser.

We have developed an extended-cavity tunable diode laser system that has a small linewidth and a large output power (more than 90% of the free-running power) whose operating frequency can be conveniently locked to a transition line of Rb atoms. Based on flat-mirror feedback and frequency self-locking and with weak feedback, we have achieved a continuous frequency detuning range greater than 900 MHz and a short-time linewidth stability of better than 0.4%. By using a two-step locking procedure we not only can lock the laser frequency but also can detune the frequency to any desired value. The locking is quite sturdy and rugged.

Enhancement of the cavity ringdown effect based on electromagnetically induced transparency.

We show that the unique absorption and dispersion properties of the electromagnetically induced transparency can be used effectively to relax the conditions for observing the cavity ringdown effect (CRE), which can be useful in applications of CRE in ultrasensitive detection of chemical species. A more straightforward and simple method is used to model the interesting CRE.

Optical multistability in three-level atoms inside an optical ring cavity.

Optical multistability in an optical ring cavity filled with a collection of three-level Lambda-type rubidium atoms has been experimentally demonstrated. The observed multistability is very sensitive to the induced atomic coherence in the system and can evolve from a normal bistable behavior with the change of the coupling field as well as the atomic number density. The underlying mechanism for the formation of such multistability is also discussed.

Modified spontaneous emission of CdTe quantum dots inside a photonic crystal.

The angular dependence of the spontaneous emission of CdTe quantum dots (QDs) inside a photonic crystal with a pseudogap is reported. The sensitive dependences of the radiative lifetime and the photoluminescence spectrum of CdTe QDs on the observation angle demonstrate the effect of the photonic bandgap on the spontaneous emission of the QDs.

A clinical and experimental study on the protective effects of jiangzhi tongmai fang on endothelial injury.

31 cases of atherosclerosis (AS) were treated with Jiang Zhi Tong Mai Fang ([symbol: see text], formula of JZTMF), and its effect was compared with 30 cases treated with lovastatin in the control group. Clinically, the JZTMF formula showed an effect of regulating blood lipids, and therefore it was antiatherosclerotic. The mechanism is, probably, restoration of the function of endothelial cells (EC) by increasing the synthesis of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and decreasing the release of endothelin (ET) as evidenced in the experimental study.
