We examine the efficiency of SHG with either a continuous-wave(CW) or an ultrashort pulsed pump laser. The normalized conversion efficiencies of SHG obtained with the CW and pulsed pump lasers are measured to be 1.35×10?5 m W?1 and 2.30×10?6 m W?1, respectively.展开更多

A Legendre-collocation method is proposed to solve the Volterra integral equations of the second kind. We provide a rigorous error analysis for the proposed method, which indicates that the numerical errors decay exponentially provided that the kernel function and the source function are sufficiently smooth. Numerical results confirm the theoretical prediction of the exponential rate of convergence. The result in this work seems to be the first successful spectral approach （with theoretical justification） for the Volterra type equations.展开更多

文摘Let Mn(n≥2) be an immersed umbilic-free hypersurface in the(n+1)-dimensional unit sphere Sn+1. Then Mn is associated witha so-called M(o)bius metric g, and a M(o)bius second fundamental form Bwhich are invariants of Mn under the M(o)bius transformation groupof Sn+1.In this paper, we classify all umbilic-free hypersurfaces withparallel M(o)bius second fundamental form.
