Design and fabrication of long focal length microlens arrays

In this paper, we present microlens arrays (MLA) with long focal length (in millimeter range) based on thermal reflow process. The focal length of microlens is usually in the same order of lens diameter or several hundred microns. To extend focal length, we made a photoresist (SU-8) MLA covered by a Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film on a glass substrate. Because the refractive index difference between PDMS and photoresist interface is lower than that of air and MLA interface, light is less bended when passing through MLA and is focused at longer distance. Microlenses of diameters from 50 μm to 240 μm were successfully fabricated. The longest focal length was 2.1 mm from the microlens of 240 μm diameter. The numerical aperture (NA) was reduced 0.06, which is much lower than the smallest NA (~ 0.15) by regular thermal reflow processes. Cured PDMS has high transmittance and becomes parts of MLA without too much optical power loss. Besides, other focal lengths can be realized by modifying the refractive index different between two adjacent materials as described in this paper.     

Rapid laser fabrication of microlens array using colorless liquid photopolymer for AMOLED devices

Microlens array (MLA) is microfabricated using Ultra Violet (UV) laser for display device applications. A colorless liquid photopolymer, Norland Optical Adhesive (NOA) 60, is spin-coated and pre-cured via UV light for completing the laser process. The laser energy controlled by a galvano scanner is radiated on the surface of the NOA 60. A rapid thermal volume expansion inside the material creates microlens array when the Gaussian laser energy is absorbed. The fabrication process conditions for various shapes and densities of MLA using a non-contact surface profiler are investigated. Furthermore, we analyze the optical and display characteristics for the Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) devices. Optimized condition furnishes the OLED with the enhancement of light emission by 15%. We show that UV laser technique, which is installed with NOA 60 MLA layer, is eligible for improving the performance of the next generation display devices.     

Microlens array diffuser for a light-emitting diode backlight system

Microlens array (MLA) diffusers for light-emitting diode (LED) backlight systems have been developed. A high fill-factor photoresist mold for the MLA was fabricated using three-dimensional diffuser lithography, and the patterns were transferred to a nickel master mold for UV-curable polymer replication. The fabricated microlens had various paraboloidal profiles, and its aspect ratio was controlled from 1.0 to 2.1. The MLA diffuser showed a batwing radiation pattern with a radiation angle of 150 degrees. The fabricated MLA diffuser may greatly enhance the color-mixing characteristics of LED backlight systems and help reduce the number of LEDs required.     

Surface structure evolution during Sb adsorption on Si(1 1 1)–In(4×1) reconstruction

The Sb adsorption process on the Si(1 1 1)–In(4×1) surface phase was studied in the temperature range 200–400 °C. The formation of a Si(1 1 1)–InSb (2×2) structure was observed between 0.5 and 0.7 ML of Sb. This reconstruction decomposes when the Sb coverage approaches 1 ML and Sb atoms rearrange to and (2×1) reconstructions; released In atoms agglomerate into islands of irregular shapes. During the phase transition process from InSb(2×2) to Sb (θ_Sb>0.7 ML), we observed the formation of a metastable (4×2) structure. Possible atomic arrangements of the InSb(2×2) and metastable (4×2) phases were discussed.     

交联共聚物的红外光谱定量分析研究

交联共聚物由于具有不溶不熔性,定量分析方法非常有限,红外光谱分析可以用溴化钾压片制样,故不受此限制.文章用红外内标法测定了甲基含氢硅油-丙交酯交联共聚物中两组分的含量.以KSCN为内标物资,以2 100 cm-1处的强吸收峰为KSCN的定量峰.以1 750 cm-1的强羰基吸收峰为丙交酯的定量峰,二者的吸光度比值为I=ALA/AKSCN.丙交酯和内标物质KSCN的质量比即浓度比为C=MLA/MKSCN,以C对I作图,得内标工作曲线.实验结果表明在2/5＜MLA/MKSCN＜8/5范围内有较好的线性关系.只要加入适量的内标物质,使C值落在直线范围内,即可获得较为准确的分析结果.文章为交联共聚物以及其他共聚物组成的测定提供了一种简便易行的实验方法.     

Reconstruction of a 6-MeV bremsstrahlung spectrum by multi-layer absorption based on LiF:Mg,Cu, P

In this paper, TLD （LiF： Mg, Cu, P） is used as detector. A multi-layer absorption （MLA） model is designed. Combined with Monte-Carlo processes, a bremsstrahlung X-ray spectrum is reconstructed by an iterative method; the reconstructed results agree with the results of simulations by the MCNP process essentially, especially in middle energy region.     

Femtosecond laser microfabrication of periodic structures using a microlens array

A microlens array (MLA) was applied for femtosecond laser microfabrication. Two-dimensional periodic patterns that corresponded to the arrangement of lenses in the MLA were recorded by ablation on a glass surface. The two-dimensional periodic patterns were recorded by a single exposure without scanning of the laser beam or the sample, and worked as a grating. Optical resizing of the patterns and high efficiency of fabrication are demonstrated and discussed. PACS 42.82.Cr; 07.60.Pb; 42.62.Cf     

Accelerating inverse crystal structure prediction by machine learning: A case study of carbon allotropes

Based on structure prediction method, the machine learning method is used instead of the density functional theory (DFT) method to predict the material properties, thereby accelerating the material search process. In this paper, we established a data set of carbon materials by high-throughput calculation with available carbon structures obtained from the Samara Carbon Allotrope Database. We then trained a machine learning (ML) model that specifically predicts the elastic modulus (bulk modulus, shear modulus, and the Young’s modulus) and confirmed that the accuracy is better than that of AFLOW–ML in predicting the elastic modulus of a carbon allotrope. We further combined our ML model with the CALYPSO code to search for new carbon structures with a high Young’s modulus. A new carbon allotrope not included in the Samara Carbon Allotrope Database, named Cmcm–C24, which exhibits a hardness greater than 80 GPa, was firstly revealed. The Cmcm–C24 phase was identified as a semiconductor with a direct bandgap. The structural stability, elastic modulus, and electronic properties of the new carbon allotrope were systematically studied, and the obtained results demonstrate the feasibility of ML methods accelerating the material search process.     

Microlens array recording of localized retinal responses

We designed a rapid functional imager for the parallel recording of localized intrinsic optical signals (IOSs). This imager used a microlens array (MLA)-based illuminator to deliver visible stimulus light and near-infrared (NIR) recording light simultaneously. The parfocal configuration of the stimulus and recording light illumination enabled confocal recording of the stimulus-evoked IOSs. Because the MLA stimulation/recording spots were widely separated on the retina, and only the photoreceptors within the MLA stimulation/recording spots were stimulated, the potential IOS cross talk effect among neighboring retinal areas was minimized. Our experiments revealed robust IOS activities tightly correlated with localized retinal responses.     

Preparation,characterization and magneto-optical investigations of electrodeposited Co/Au films

Au/Co(4–8 ML)/Au single magnetic layers and Au(8 ML)/Co(4 ML)/Au(8 ML)/Co(8 ML)/Au bilayer were sequentially grown by electrodeposition on an Au(1 1 1) buffer layer electrodeposited on Si(1 1 1). The technique used in this work provides full control on the structure and the chemical composition of the different layers (no alloying) as well as on the chemistry at interfaces. scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging and X-ray diffraction measurements show that atomically flat continuous Co(0 0 0 1) layers (4–8 ML) can be grown in epitaxy with the Au(1 1 1) substrate and that the 2 nm-thick spacer is also a continuous Au(1 1 1) layer. The Co ultrathin layers (4 and 8 ML) exhibit perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. The lateral magnetic homogeneity and magnetization reversal process have been investigated by scanning magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) magnetometry and global Kerr microscopy. The correlation between magnetization switching behaviour in each layer of the Co-bilayer stack has been evidenced from in-depth sensitive MOKE measurements and microscopy. The strong coupling observed between the two Co layers is attributed to magnetostatic interaction at domain wall boundaries.
