10.6μm激光诱导扩散中热致破坏的抑制

在半导体激光诱导扩散实验中,用连续波CO2 10．6μm激光聚焦后照射基片表面。为实现局部区域的选择扩散,激光光斑半径仅数十微米。要使曝光区温度达到扩散实验要求,必须使曝光区功率密度很高。另一方面,Si、InP等半导体材料对10．6μm波长激光的吸收系数随温度的升高而增大,这导致实验时容易产生热致破坏,损伤基片。在分析热致破坏的产生机理后,提出了在聚焦激光束照射下,曝光区温度的数值计算方法。计算结果表明,在半导体基片初始温度为室温时,以恒定功率的激光束照射基片,曝光区温度不能稳定在扩散试验需要的温度范围。在此基础上,提出了预热基片及对曝光区温度进行实时控制等抑制热致破坏的方法,有效地克服了这一困难。这对于用激光微细加工制作出高性能的单片光电集成电路(OEICs)器件有重要意义。     

Effect of angle of incidence on self-mixing laser Doppler velocimeter and optimization of the system

Based on the theory of speckle and self-mixing interference in laser-diode, three-facet cavity model is introduced to analyze laser Doppler effect based on self-mixing interference in the case of a rough surface, and numerical solution of the signal is obtained. Simulation results of speckle-modulated Doppler signal based on self-mixing effect and tracking accuracy at different incident angles are given using parameters employed in the experiment. Simulation results indicate incident angle of around 30° is most suitable when both tracking accuracy and signal amplitude are considered. Experimental waveforms agree well with simulation results, and similar conclusions as simulation predictions about changing trend of tracking accuracies of the system at different incident angles can be made. Combining with difference frequency analog phase-lock loop (PLL) technique and appropriate sampling time, a laser Doppler velocimeter with tracking accuracy better than 1.3% in the range of 10-470 mm/s is realized.     

Model and experimental analysis of oblique incident ultrasound in a tissue layer using doublet mechanics theory

The fundamental framework of doublet mechanics (DM) is used to analyze high-frequency ultrasound wave propagation in materials with discrete microstructure. Ultrasonic reflection coefficients were measured from a thin layer of tissue embedded between two glass substrates at oblique incidence. Theoretical calculations for the reflection coefficients of a multi-layered system at oblique angles are performed using both DM theory and the classical continuum mechanics theory (CCM). For example, at the frequency of 10 MHz at incident angle 8° in sample with 30 μm thickness, the discrepancy in the magnitude of the reflection coefficient between experimental results and theoretical prediction is 15.8% for DM but 79.0% for CCM; similar results at other frequencies and incident angle in the samples with 30 and 60 μm thickness have also been obtained, which demonstrates that the DM theory can better describe the wave propagation in tissue. The influence of the incident angles and tissue thickness are also discussed in this paper.

Measurement of diffusion coefficients in polystyrene using xenon-129 NMR

A sample of polystyrene beads, 18 μm in diameter, has been sealed in an NMR tube under 10 atm of xenon gas. Two dimensional,¹²⁹Xe NMR spectra show cross peaks between the resonances corresponding to xenon in the free gas and the sorbed state, indicating that appreciable exchange occurs during the mixing time of the NMR experiment. Selective saturation of the free gas resonance attenuates the integrated intensity of the sorbed xenon resonance as a function of saturation time, thus allowing the accurate measurement of the exchange rates between the gas and the sorbed states. A model has been developed using a slightly modified form of Crank’s treatment of diffusion in a sphere which allows for the accurate determination of the diffusion coefficient for xenon in the sorbed state. The diffusion coefficient for xenon in polystyrene at 25°C is determined to be 2.9·10^?9 cm²/s.     

Evaluation of the echolocation model for range estimation of multiple closely spaced objects

Experimental evidence indicates that bats can use frequency-modulated echolocation to identify objects with an accuracy of less than 1 μs. However, when modeling this process, it is difficult to estimate the delay times of multiple closely spaced objects by analyzing the echo spectrum, because the sequence of delay separations cannot be determined without information on the temporal changes in the interference patterns of the echoes. To extract the temporal changes, Gaussian chirplets with a carrier frequency compatible with bat emission sweep rates are introduced. The delay time for object 1 (T(1)) is estimated from the echo spectrum around the onset time. The T(2) is obtained by adding the T(1) to the delay separation between objects 1 and 2. Further objects are located in sequence by this procedure. Here echoes were measured from single and multiple objects at a low signal-to-noise ratio. It was confirmed that the delay time for a single object could be estimated with an accuracy of about 1.3 μs. The range accuracy was less than 6 μs when the frequency bandwidth was less than 10 kHz. The delay time for multiple closely spaced objects could be estimated with a high range resolution by extracting the interference pattern.     

Antireflection coating on germanium for dual channel (3–5 and 7.5–10.6 μm) thermal imagers

The dual channel thermal imager, operating in the 3–5 and 7.5–10.6 μm wavelength bands, is one of the latest achievements in instrumentation for target recognition and acquisition. While the 3–5 μm band is utilised for detecting hot objects such as engine exhausts of vehicles and fighter planes, the 7.5–10.6 μm band is employed for human bodies and objects at ambient temperatures. Many substrates are available which transmit in both these wavelength bands and their transmission can be enhanced by providing a suitable antireflection coating. In this paper, a broad band antireflection coating on germanium substrate is reported. The design approach involves achieving a continuously varying refractive index from that of the incident medium to the substrate. The continuously varying refractive index profile may be generated by using a sequence of thin layers of high and low refractive index materials. In this design a continuous refractive index profile is approximated by using a 13-layer stack of thorium fluoride and germanium as low and high index coating materials respectively. This coating conforms to environmental stability standards and shows an average transmission of 91% in 3–5 μm band and 94.5% in 7.5–10.6 μm band with a peak of 97% at 9 μm on 10 mm thick germanium substrate. Polycrystalline germanium has 2.5% absorption for a 10 mm thick substrate.     

Prediction of the reverberation time in high absorbent room using a modified-diffusion model

A modification of the diffusion model’s boundary condition, based on the Eyring absorption coefficient, to account for high walls absorption is proposed. Numerical comparisons are carried out for three geometrical configurations (a proportionate room, a corridor and a flat enclosure). Comparisons with the statistical theory and a ray-tracing software show that the modified boundary condition increases the accuracy of the diffusion model in term of reverberation time in all the simulated configurations. An experimental comparison in the case of a non-uniformly absorbent room (a reverberation chamber covered with patches of glass wool) is also carried out. The modified-diffusion model results match well with the ray-tracing ones. Both models are in agreement with the experimental data for most of third octave bands (discrepancy close to or below 10%). However, some discrepancies up to 40% can also be observed in a few octave bands, probably due to experimental considerations and to the modal behaviour of the room at low frequencies.     

入射角对Al0.5Ga0.5As-AlAs分布布拉格反射器反射光谱的影响

采用传输矩阵法对Al0.5Ga0.5As-AlAs材料的发光二极管分布布拉格反射器进行入射角的反射光谱研究,计算发现反射偏振光p和s随入射角的增大呈“V”形变化,在49.8°处有最小反射值。不同入射介质[以空气和限制层(Al0.7Ga0.3)0.5In0.5P材料]下的反射光谱受入射角的影响差异很大,其中入射角对空气入射介质的反射谱影响较小,由0°入射的反射率88.13%降至45°的84.94%,反射峰值波长蓝移仅10 nm;但入射角对(Al0.7Ga0.3)0.5In0.5P入射介质的反射谱影响很大,仅从0°到45°入射,反射率降幅就超过45%,反射峰值波长蓝移超过127 nm。为了减缓这种影响,提出了多波长布拉格反射器结构设计。计算表明多波长分布布拉格反射器在0ο~45°的入射角内比传统的分布布拉格反射器有更好的光谱特性,这对提高发光二极管的出光效率有现实意义。     

Widely continuous-tunable 2.789-4.957 μm twin- MgO：PPLN cascaded optical parametric oscillator

An all-solid-state mid-infrared optical parametric oscillator with wide tunability by using two identical multi-grating periodically poled 5-mol.-% MgO-doped lithium niobate cascaded is reported. The pump laser is an acousto-optically Q-switched Nd：YAG laser with 150-ns pulse width at repetition rate of 10 kHz. Wide tunability from 2.789 to 4.957μm at the idler wavelength is achieved by varying the temperature from 40 to 200 ~C and translating the grating periods from 26 to 31 μm with a step of 0.5μm. When the incident pump average power is 8.15 W, the maximum idler output average power is 2.23 W at 3.344 μm and the optic-optic conversion efficiency is about 27.4%.     

Quantitative magnetic resonance flow and diffusion imaging in porous media

Quantitative flow and diffusion measurements have been made for water in model porous media, using magnetic resonance micro-imaging methods. The samples consisted of compacted glass beads of various sizes down to 1 mm diameter. Typical flow and diffusion images exhibited a spatial resolution of 117 μm × 117 μm and velocities in the range 1–2 mm/s. Comparison of volume flow rates calculated from the flow velocity maps with values measured directly yielded good agreement in all cases. There was also good agreement between the mean diffusion coefficient of water calculated from the diffusion maps and the bulk diffusion coefficient for pure water at the same temperature. In addition, the mean diffusion coefficient did not depend on the pore sizes in the bead diameter range of 1–3 mm. Our results also show that partial volume effects can be compensated by appropriate thresholding of the images prior to the final Fourier transformation in the flow-encoding dimension.     

Hydrogen Permeability of a Foil of Pd–Ag Alloy Modified with a Nanoporous Palladium Coating

Thin films with the composition Pd–23% Ag are obtained via magnetron sputtering. The magnetron sputtering of Pd–50% Zn films with subsequent diffusion annealing and etching of the active component is used to modify the surfaces of palladium–silver films to improve their hydrogen permeability. Modifying the surfaces of the resulting Pd–Ag films using a nanoporous palladium coating with a predominant distribution of particles ranging from 0 to 50 nm allows a hydrogen flux density of up to 0.4 mmol s^?1 m^?2 to be achieved for sufficiently thin palladium membranes (<10 μm) under conditions of low temperature (<90°C) and pressure (<0.6 MPa). Experimental evidence is gathered that under these conditions, the velocity of hydrogen transport is limited by dissociative–associative processes at membrane boundaries and can be greatly (by an order of magnitude) increased, due to acceleration of the limiting stage of the process via the formation of a palladium nanoporous coating on the film’s surface.

Energy dependence of electron inelastic scattering mean-free-paths using synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy

The energy dependence of electron inelastic scattering mean-free-paths (mfp's) has been measured for thin films of Au, Ag and Mg for energies up to 150 eV by the overlayer method using synchrotron radiation photoemission. After the initial sharp drop in mfp at low energies (not seen in our data for Mg) mfp's for all three materials remain almost constant over the remaining range of kinetic energy. Some of the essentials of this technique are discussed; in particular the choice of substrate material, overlayer growth mechanisms and geometry of electron spectrometer are considered in detail. Increases in the metal-related 2p emission on oxidation of films of Mg and Al indicate that the mfp in the oxides is typically at least twice as great as in the metal and this ratio is energy-dependent. The dangers of using the “universal curve” of mfp versus energy are highlighted by this work.

Hybrid diffusion approximation in highly absorbing media and its effects of source approximation

A modified diffusion approximation model called the hybrid diffusion approximation that can be used for highly absorbing media is investigated. The analytic solution of the hybrid diffusion approximation for reflectance in two-source approximation and steady-state case with extrapolated boundary is obtained. The effects of source approximation on the analytic solution are investigated, and it is validated that two-source approximation in highly absorbing media to describe the optical properties of biological tissue is necessary. Monte Carlo simulation of recovering optical parameters from refiectant data is done with the use of this model. The errors of recovering μ＇s and μ＇s are smaller than 15% for the reduced albedo between 0.77 and 0.5 with the source-detector separation of 0.4-3 mm.     

Investigation of some nuclear engineering materials in terms of gamma ray buildup factors at experimental energies used in nuclear physics experiments

ABSTRACT

In shielding studies, the gamma ray buildup factor is referred to an attenuation correction when the narrow beam transmission geometry conditions are not met. This is the case if there is a beam divergence and a considerably thick material is used as shield. In the present work, a linear logarithmic interpolation based on five parameter geometric progression (G-P) fitting method was used to calculate energy absorption (EABF) and exposure buildup factors (EBF) at discrete energies for some standard nuclear engineering materials (SNEM) such as concrete, Pb glass, brass, bronze and stainless steel, and for some recently developed shielding alloys and glasses. Calculations were made at different penetration depths (1–20?mfp) using photons emitted from the standard radioactive sources such as ¹³³Ba (0.356 MeV), ¹³⁷Cs (0.662 MeV), ⁶⁰Co (1.173, 1.332 MeV) and ²²Na (0.511, 1.275 MeV). Results have been compared with MCNP6.1 Monte Carlo simulation code wherever possible and a reasonable agreement (Relative difference around 10% up to 10?mfp except for Pb glass) has been achieved. Results also showed that the gamma ray buildup correction is necessarily required since buildup factors are greater than unity even at lowest penetration depth, i.e. 1?mfp. The reported data on EABF and EBF for the energy values of radioactive sources may be of practical use in shielding calculations and estimations.
