Moiré superlattices, a twisted functional structure crossing the periodic and nonperiodic potentials, have recently attracted great interest in multidisciplinary fields, including optics and ultracold atoms, because of their unique band structures, physical properties, and potential implications. Driven by recent experiments on quantum phenomena of bosonic gases, the atomic Bose–Einstein condensates in moiré optical lattices, by which other quantum gases such as ultracold fermionic atoms are trapped, could be readily achieved in ultracold atom laboratories, whereas the associated nonlinear localization mechanism remains unexploited. Here, we report the nonlinear localization theory of ultracold atomic Fermi gases in two-dimensional moiré optical lattices. The linear Bloch-wave spectrum of such a twisted structure exhibits rich nontrivial flat bands, which are separated by different finite bandgaps wherein the existence, properties, and dynamics of localized superfluid Fermi gas structures of two types, gap solitons and gap vortices (topological modes) with vortex charge S = 1, are studied numerically. Our results demonstrate the wide stability regions and robustness of these localized structures, opening up a new avenue for studying soliton physics and moiré physics in ultracold atoms beyond bosonic gases.

Excitons have significant impacts on the properties of semiconductors. They exhibit significantly different properties when a direct semiconductor turns in to an indirect one by doping. Huybrecht variational method is also found to influence the study of exciton ground state energy and ground state binding energy in Al_xGa_1?xAs semiconductor spherical quantum dots. The Al_xGa_1?xAs is considered to be a direct semiconductor at Al concentration below 0.45, and an indirect one at the concentration above 0.45. With regards to the former, the ground state binding energy increases and decreases with Al concentration and eigenfrequency, respectively; however, while the ground state energy increases with Al concentration, it is marginally influenced by eigenfrequency. On the other hand, considering the latter, while the ground state binding energy increases with Al concentration, it decreases with eigenfrequency; nevertheless, the ground state energy increases both with Al concentration and eigenfrequency. Hence, for the better practical performance of the semiconductors, the properties of the excitons are suggested to vary by adjusting Al concentration and eigenfrequency

常规的分布式布拉格反射（DBR）半导体激光器中，增益区域所对应的自由谱间距应大于DBR高反射率带宽的1/2，以获得稳定的单模激射。该条件限制了DBR激光器的阈值和功率特性。文章首次提出并实现了基于DBR选模的太赫兹量子级联激光器（THz-QCL），并突破了上述限制。作者所实现的THz-QCL采用脊波导结构，利用解理腔面和DBR反射镜构成谐振腔，利用有源区增益谱较窄的特点，通过调整DBR反射率谱使增益谱与DBR高反射带在频域中部分重叠，从而获得了单模激射的THz-QCL。该方案使得DBR高反射带显著宽于自由谱间距，即显著提高了激光器中增益区域的长度，从而降低阈值并提高功率特性。实验上，作者研制出增益区域长达3.6 mm的DBR激光器，单模激射的频率为2.7 THz，边模抑制比达到25 dB，该激光器的阈值和温度特性与相同材料制备的法布里-泊罗腔多模激光器相当。文章中的工作为实现高性能单模太赫兹量子级联激光器提供了新的研究思路。

The present study is devoted to investigate the chirped gap solitons with Kudryashov’s law of self-phase modulation having dispersive reflectivity. Thus, the mathematical model consists of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) that describes pulse propagation in a medium of fiber Bragg gratings (BGs). To reach an integrable form for this intricate model, the phase-matching condition is applied to derive equivalent equations that are handled analytically. By means of auxiliary equation method which possesses Jacobi elliptic function (JEF) solutions, various forms of soliton solutions are extracted when the modulus of JEF approaches 1. The generated chirped gap solitons have different types of structures such as bright, dark, singular, W-shaped, kink, anti-kink and Kink-dark solitons. Further to this, two soliton waves namely chirped bright quasi-soliton and chirped dark quasi-soliton are also created. The dynamic behaviors of chirped gap solitons are illustrated in addition to their corresponding chirp. It is noticed that self-phase modulation and dispersive reflectivity have remarkable influences on the pulse propagation. These detailed results may enhance the engineering applications related to the field of fiber BGs.
