大气压Ar/NH_3同轴介质阻挡放电发射光谱诊断（英文）

采用光谱在线技术(OES)检测了大气压Ar/NH_3 DBD等离子体中的主要粒子为NH,N,N~+,N_2,Ar,H_α,OH。NH是NH_3分解的产物,激发态Ar~*和NH_3分子的潘宁碰撞生成激发态中性粒子NH(c~1Ⅱ)和NH(A~3Ⅱ)。674.5 nm处N原子谱线表明等离子体中产生了N活性原子,为大气压Ar/NH_3同轴介质阻挡放电等离子体合成ε-Fe_3N磁性颗粒提供了可能。研究了各主要粒子谱线强度随NH_3流量和外加电压峰峰值的变化规律,研究结果表明:NH_3流量相同时,随外加电压峰峰值升高,各粒子谱线强度均逐渐增强;外加电压峰峰值相同时,各谱线强度随NH_3流量增加先增强后减弱。外加电压峰峰值相同时,随NH_3流量增加,N活性原子谱线强度先增强后减弱,NH_3流量为20 mL·min~(-1)时,N活性原子谱线强度最强。NH_3流量相同时,随外加电压峰峰值升高,N活性原子谱线强度逐渐减小,主要是由于大气压Ar/NH_3DBD放电模式由多脉冲大气压辉光放电转变为丝状放电造成。多脉冲大气压辉光放电的微放电通道之间相互重叠,各个微放电之间相互影响,导致随外加电压峰峰值升高各谱线强度的增加速率较快。当外加电压峰峰值从4 600 V升高到6 400 V时,大气压Ar/NH_3 DBD的放电模式由单脉冲APGD转变为二脉冲APGD,属于均匀大气压介质阻挡放电,随外加电压峰峰值升高谱线强度的增加速率较快,利于合成e-Fe_3N磁性颗粒。     

Ar/CH4等离子体射流发射光谱诊断研究

为了更加深入的研究大气压条件下Ar/CH₄等离子体射流的放电机理和其内部电子的状态,通过自主设计的针-环式介质阻挡放电结构,在放电频率10 kHz、一个大气压条件下产生了稳定的Ar/CH₄等离子体射流,并利用发射光谱法对其进行了诊断研究。对大气条件下Ar/CH₄等离子体射流的放电现象及内部活性粒子种类进行诊断分析,重点研究了不同氩气甲烷体积流量比、不同峰值电压对大气压Ar/CH₄等离子体射流电子激发温度、电子密度以及CH基团活性粒子浓度的影响规律。结果表明,大气压条件下Ar/CH₄等离子体射流呈淡蓝色,在射流边缘可观察到丝状毛刺并伴有刺耳的电离声同时发现射流尖端的形态波动较大;通过发射光谱可以发现Ar/CH₄等离子体射流中的主要活性粒子为CH基团,C,CⅡ,CⅢ,CⅣ,ArⅠ和ArⅡ,其中含碳粒子的谱线主要集中在400~600 nm之间,ArⅠ和ArⅡ的谱线分布在680~800 nm之间;可以发现CH基团的浓度随峰值电压的增大而增大,但CH基团浓度随Ar/CH₄体积流量比的增大而减小,同时Ar/CH₄等离子体射流中C原子的浓度随之增加,这表明氩气甲烷体积流量比的增大加速了Ar/CH₄等离子体射流中C-H的断裂,因此可以发现增大峰值电压与氩气甲烷体积流量比均可明显的加快甲烷分子的脱氢效率,但增大氩气甲烷体积流量比的脱氢效果更加明显。通过多谱线斜率法选取4条ArⅠ谱线计算了不同工况下的电子激发温度,求得大气压Ar/CH₄等离子体射流的电子激发温度在6 000~12 000 K之间,且随峰值电压与氩气甲烷体积流量比的增大均呈现上升的趋势;依据Stark展宽机理对Ar/CH₄等离子体射流的电子密度进行了计算,电子密度的数量级可达1017 cm-3,且增大峰值电压与氩气甲烷体积流量比均可有效的提高射流中的电子密度。这些参数的探索对大气压等离子体射流的研讨具有重大意义。

Guided-Wave Two-Dimensional Acousto-Optic Scanner Using Proton-Exchanged Lithium Niobate Waveguide

Two-dimensional scanning of a 0.6328 mum guided-light beam has been realized using noncolinear acousto-optic (AO) coplanar Bragg diffraction together with colinear AO guided-mode to substrate radiation-mode conversion in a Z-cut Xpropagation LiNbO3 proton-exchanged (PE) waveguide. The two surface acoustic (SAW) waves utilized are at the center frequencies of 500 and 200 MHz, propagating in the Y and X axes, respectively. Two-dimensional scanning of approximately 720 resolvable light beam spots, namely, 18 40 (horizontal vertical) scanning, has been demonstrated using a light beam of 1.0 mm aperture. The total number of resolvable beam spots can be greatly increased from 720 by simply utilizing SAW transducers of larger bandwidth and a light beam of greater aperture. It should also be possible to significantly increase the diffraction efficiency from 3 % by optimizing the parameters of the PE waveguide and the SAWs.     

Hybrid Wavelength and Code Division Multiple Access in Optical Networks

A review of schemes for multiple access in fiber optic networks shows that a hybrid of wavelength and code division multiple access (WCDMA) combines the best features of both. In particular, the hybrid scheme retains the large information carrying capacity of wavelength division multiple access (WDMA) and flexibility of code division multiple access (CDMA). In this paper WDMA, optical CDMA (OCDMA), and WCDMA networks are discussed. In OCDMA networks, concept of incoherent and coherent coding including inverse decoding and matched filter is introduced. The delay performance of both WDMA and WCDMA networks, under the simple suboptimum access protocols based on cyclic search, is computed. It has been shown quantitatively that tuning delay significantly affects the delay performance of both WDMA and WCDMA networks. Futhermore, delay performance of WCDMA networks is always better than the WDMA networks for the same tuning delay, load, and number of users.     

Effect ofγ-radiation on the spectral luminescence characteristics of impure cadmium tungstate crystals

Results of a study of the effect of γ-radiation on the spectral luminescence properties of cadmium tungstate crystals doped with silver, bismuth, and molybdenum cations are presented. Spectral characteristics of the nondnnnoped crystals are briefly described. Absorption and photo and X-ray luminescence spectra of the crystals taken before and after exposure to γ-radiation (5.5·10⁴ Gy) are compared. It is found that the spectral characteristics of the crystals doped with silver, bismuth, and molybdenum cations do not change markedly after the exposure. The relation between the type of impurity-induced defects, individual characteristics of the impurity cations, and the character of the effect of γ-radiation on the spectral luminescence properties of impure crystals is analyzed (preliminarily).

The performance of port/starboard discrimination of dual-line array will be seriously degraded when the space between the two line arrays of the dual-line array is mismatched. The directivity function of the delay-sum and delay-subtract beamforming is deduced and the port/starboard discrimination of the delay-sum and delay-subtract beamforming is also studied both under the ideal status and the status under which the space between the two line arrays of the dual-line array is mismatched. Analysis results show the delay-subtract beamforming has better performance of port/starboard discrimination. At last, the sea trial results demonstrate the theoretical results.     

Retrieval of ultraviolet skylight radiances and O3 slant column densities from balloon-borne limb spectrometer

With a novel light-weight and absolutely calibrated ultraviolet （UV） spectrometer, UV skylight radiances and O3 slant column densities are measured by balloon-borne limb measurements in Xinjiang area, China. UV skylight radiances measured at the height of 31 km are compared with the results from Modtran in the wavelength range from 290 to 420 nm. O3 slant column densities are derived from radiance spectra in the Huggins bands （320 - 335 nm） using differential optical absorption spectroscopy method. And the parameter exhibits a good correlation with the same value simulated by radiative transfer model （Tracy）. The O3 profile simultaneously measured by an O3 sonde is used as input in Tracy calculations. The O3 sonde is launched on the same balloon.     

Design optimization of highly sensitive LSPR enhanced surface plasmon resonance biosensors with nanoholes

For breaking through the sensitivity limitation of conventional surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors, novel highly sensitive SPR biosensors with Au nanoparticles and nanogratings enhancement have been proposed recently.But in practice, these structures have obvious disadvantages.In this study, a nanohole based sensitivity enhancement SPR biosensor is proposed and the influence of different structural parameters on the performance is investigated by using rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA).Electromagnetic field distributions around the nanohole are also given out to directly explain the performance difference for various structural parameters.The results indicate that significant sensitivity increase is associated with localized surface plasmons (LSPs) excitation mediated by nanoholes.Except to outcome the weakness of other LSP based biosensors, larger resonance angle shift, reflectance amplitude, and sharper SPR curves' width are obtained simultaneously under optimized structural parameters.     

Polymer gratings based on photopolymerization for low-order distributed feedback polymer lasers

A novel methodology for photometric compensation of projection display on patterned screen

We propose a novel methodology based on the projector-camera (ProCam) system to address the photometric compensation issue for the projection display on the patterned screen.The patterned screen is treated as the combination of a perfect white screen and a color modulator.The perfect white screen is used to automatically and accurately characterize the ProCam system offline using the polynomial model,and the parameters of the color modulator can be efficiently recovered by employing only two gray images based on the linear reflectance model.The experimental results show that the color artifacts of the display image can be greatly improved with this methodology,which demonstrates its feasibility and validity in the photometric compensation.     

Direction-of-arrival estimation using matrix spatial prefiltering approach

An approach to direction-of-arrival （DOA） estimation for multiple narrowband farfield signals is proposed. The technique uses a novel matrix spatial prefiltering approach. Specifically, a matrix filter is designed to spatially filter the incoming data snapshots. The un-wanted components arriving from the stopband angular sectors are attenuated and the desired components from the angular sector of interest pass with minimal distortion. The matrix filter spatially filters the element-space data and the output reserves the element-space data property, which makes it very useful by passing sensor data through a spatial prefilter prior to applying many other array processors to attenuate interferences and improve system performance. Several examples of DOA estimation problem are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed spatial prefiltering approach. Results of simulation and real data show that the pre-filter can efficiently attenuate the spatial interferences and significantly improve the estimation and resolution capability of DOA estimators at low signal-to-noise ratios for the sources located inside the passband sector. In addition, the use of spatial prefilter makes it possible to estimate DOAs for multiple sources more than the number of the elements of an array.
