Intensity dependent dynamics of photoinduced absorption in $CdS_{0.4}$/$Se_{0.6}$ semiconductor doped glasses below the band gap was investigated by using time-resolved differential transmittance spectroscopy. The carriers populated through ultrafast trapping at semiconductor-glass interfaces give rise to a broad photoinduced absorption below the band gap. The decay time of transient absorption depends strongly on the excitation intensity. Based on our results, the physical mechanism for photoinduced absorption processes was suggested.

A simplified, practical vector network analyzer (VNA) that uses mature radio-over-fiber technology has been designed and demonstrated. The measurement concept allows the full S-parameters of a microwave device (or antenna) to be obtained while minimizing the detrimental effects of electrical cables, which are replaced with a photonic link. A variety of high-frequency light modulation schemes with frequency sweeping capabilities are presented to realize a one-path (single, forward), frequency-multiplied optical link for VNA applications. Using the photonic one-path link, full two-port S-parameters have been extracted based on five-term error modeling, which has half the error terms compared with the standard duplex configuration. The S-parameters of a microwave filter and antenna measured using frequency-multiplied optical links are found to be in good agreement with those obtained using a conventional VNA.

Co/Pd multilayer systems have been investigated with much attention for a long time due to the high and easily controllable perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Two [Pd(1)/Co(0.4 nm)]5 multilayer systems - one is as-deposit, and the other is annealed at $350^{\circ}C$ - are studied with an all-optical approach. A two-color optical pump probe setup using 30 fs laser pulse at 82 MHz repetition rate is used to measure the time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr signal. It turns out the heat treatment enhances the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, and leads to faster magnetization precession. The frequency reaches 30 GHz in the annealed sample, which is a factor of 2 larger compared to the as-deposit film.

In this study, we investigate terahertz (THz) generation by a photoconductive antenna with electrodes in the shape of split-ring resonators. According to our theoretical investigation based on a lumped-circuit model, the inductance of this electrode structure leads to resonant behavior of the photo-induced current. Hence, near the resonance frequency the spectral components generated by a resonant photoconductive antenna can be greater than those produced by a non-resonant one. For experimental verification, a resonant photoconductive antenna, which possesses a resonance mode at 0.6 THz, and a non-resonant photoconductive antenna with stripe-shaped electrodes were fabricated on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate. The THz generation by both of the photoconductive antennas demonstrated a good agreement with the theoretically expected results. The observed relationship between the resonant electrodes of the photoconductive antenna and the generated THz spectrum can be further employed to design a narrow-band THz source with an on-demand frequency.

A Ka-band microstrip array antenna for wide-range detection of moving targets is analyzed through a photonicassisted reactive-near-field characterization technique. The antenna array employs a 3-dB-tapered feed network to suppress the sidelobe level while retaining a wide azimuth beamwidth for a wide detection range. The relative nearelectric field patterns of the array and its 3-dB-tapered feed lines have been measured using an electro-optic fieldmapping technique for minimally invasive millimeter-wave sensing. A number of typical limitations on the technique, involving bandwidth, low signal-modulation depth, and high laser-induced noise in high-frequency applications, have been overcome by suppressing the carrier portion of the optical interrogation beam.

Understanding the thermodynamics and structural transformation during the Metal-Insulator Transition (MIT) is critical to better understand the underlying physical origin of phase transition in the vanadiumdioxide ($VO_2$). Here, through the temperature-dependent in-situ high resolutiontransmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), and systematic electrical transport study, we have shown that the tunable MIT transition of $VO_2$ nanowires is strongly affected by interplay between strain and domain nucleation by ion beam irradiation. Surprsingly, we have also observed that the $VO_2$ rutile (R) metallic phase could form directly in a strain-induced metastable monoclinic (M2) phase. These insights open the door toward more systematic approaches to synthesis for $VO_2$ nanostructures in desired phase and to use for applications including ultrafast optical switching, smart window, metamaterial, resistance RAM and synapse devices.

A tabletop ultrafast soft x-ray has been generated from the laser-produce plasma with a femtosecond pulsed Ti:Sapphire laser. The estimated total flux of Al $K{\alpha}$ is of $2.2{\times}10^9photons/sec$ in $4{\pi}$ radian and the parameters related to the optical performance were obtained. The tungsten/silicon multilayer, flat quartz and bent thallium acid phthalate (TLAP) crystal were used for monochromatization of soft x-ray to refine the aluminum $K{\alpha}$ radiation and compared the respective value of $E/{\Delta}E$. To estimate the size of the x-ray source beam generated by a fs laser, the approximation using the FWHM obtained from the x-ray beam scan near the focal point was discussed, and the size of the diameter was about $9.76{\mu}m$.
