一种溶解氧敏感膜荧光发射效率光谱检测系统的研制

荧光猝灭法是快速测量污水、地表水以及渔业养殖水环境中溶解氧含量的先进技术之一,氧敏感膜是荧光猝灭法检测技术的核心,高荧光发射效率的氧敏感膜具有灵敏度高、特异性强、信噪比高的优点,检测结果更为准确。高效率是优选氧敏感膜的依据,也是溶解氧检测元器件、检测电路和检测光路优化设计的关键。现有溶解氧荧光检测装置中未有对氧敏感膜进行质量评估的标准方法,基于对已有传感器探头光路和电路的研究,该研究分析了全波段的荧光发射效率,选用大功率氙灯作为激发光源,基于连续单波长逐级扫描进行单色分光,构建了氧敏感膜的激发光-荧光光谱扫描装置,然后通过扫描测定氧敏感膜的激发光光谱和荧光光谱,提出并建立了荧光发射效率计算方法,提出的方法能客观地评估荧光发射能力,准确寻找最佳激发波长。为验证该方法的可行性,对来自国内外的多个氧敏感膜样品进行了实验测定,测试结果表明：单张氧敏感膜荧光发射效率随波长变化,呈多峰分布,同一型号的样品荧光效率曲线相似,但荧光发射效率差异较大,同一激发波长下荧光发射效率最大者较最小者高出14.5%,三张氧敏感膜的最大峰值波长均不同,分别为：401,543和435 nm,但发射峰值波长均为650 nm;不同型号的氧敏感膜相比较,最大荧光发射效率可相差1～2个数量级;实测传感器中使用的激发波长,其所选用的激发波长并非最大发射峰值波长,其荧光发射效率仅为最大荧光发射效率的1/2,表明传感器光源可以进一步优化选型。综上所述,本文建立了一种溶解氧敏感膜荧光发射效率检测系统,提出了以荧光发射效率评估氧敏感膜的方法,并开展了相关实验测定。本文工作可望用于新型氧敏感膜材料、工艺的研究及传感器优化设计与制造。

基于激光诱导荧光的油类污染物检测系统研究

油类污染物具有破坏海洋生态系统和间接污染大气及土壤的危害,快速、准确地检测污染物的成分及其浓度具有重要意义。由于油类污染物光谱重叠严重,因此难以通过传统荧光分析准确加以区分。本文基于激光诱导荧光技术,以氙灯作为激发光设计荧光光谱检测系统,并对0#柴油、92#汽油和煤油进行扫描和检测,从而获得激发/发射光谱以及最佳激发/发射波长。并对该系统的软件算法部分进行改进,运用Savitzky-Golay卷积平滑直接获得更加精确的激发/发射光谱,更能全面、准确地反映油类物质的荧光特性信息。并与传统的荧光光谱仪得到的光谱图进行对比,经实验验证激光诱导荧光技术的荧光光谱检测系统的有效性,对油类污染物的荧光光谱信号的检测具有更高的灵敏度。     

基于TracePro软件的荧光信号光收集光路的设计与仿真

摇头丸、冰毒和海洛因等常见的毒品在特定波长激发下都可以发射荧光,但这些分子结构中的荧光基团数量较少或量子效率很低,当毒品的浓度较低时,荧光信号很弱,很难被检测到,从而限制了荧光光谱技术在毒检领域的应用。为了提高荧光光谱技术的灵敏度,从荧光信号的发散特性考虑,利用TracePro软件设计用于荧光信号收集的光路,这与传统的采用高功率激光器增加激发光能量和选用高灵敏探测器的解决方案不同;在光路中,选用抛物面型反射镜和菲涅耳透镜对不同发散角的荧光光束进行准直,采用平凸透镜和双凸透镜对光束进行缩束,采用特定尺寸的微透镜阵列对光束进行聚焦。对设计的光路进行仿真的结果表明:光路对荧光信号光的收集效率约为21.08%,比传统荧光收集光路的效率高6倍。所设计的光路可为改进本课题组已经开发的便携式高灵敏毒品荧光检测系统提供技术参考。

Self-organization of five species in a cyclic competition game

Cyclic competition game models, particularly the “rock–paper–scissors” model, play important roles in exploring the problem of multi-species coexistence in spatially ecological systems. We propose an extended “rock–paper–scissors” game to model cyclic interactions among five species, and find that two of the five can coexistent when biodiversity disappears, which is different from the “rock–paper–scissors” game. As the number of fingers is five, we named the new model the “fingers” game, where the thumb, forefinger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger cyclically dominate their subsequent species and are dominated by their former species. We investigate the “fingers” model in two ways: direct simulations and nonlinear partial differential equations. An important finding is that the number of species in a cyclic competition game has an influence on the emergence of biodiversity. To be specific, the “rock–paper–scissors” model is in favor of maintaining biodiversity in comparison with the “fingers” model when the variables (population size, reproduction rate, selection rate, and migration rate) are the same. It is also shown that the mobility and reproduction rate can promote or jeopardize biodiversity.     

Contrastive analysis on tone between Putonghua and Taiwan Mandarin

The differences of the pitch and duration of Chinese syllables between Putonghua （PTH） and Taiwan Mandarin （TM） were studied. The speech materials to be used are not only isolated syllables, but also sentences. The results reveal that： For the isolated syllables, T1 and T2 in TM are influenced by Minnan dialect, therefore their pitch are lower than those in PTH. T3 is fall-rise in PTH, while it is fall in TM. Moreover, the syllable duration sequence for different tone is T3〉T2〉T1〉T4 in PTH, while it is T1〉T2〉T3〉T4 in TM. For the syllables in sentences, T2 is mid-rise in PTH, while it is mid-level in TM. And the T3 is longer than T4 but shorter than T1 or T2 in PTH, while it is the shortest in TM. Furthermore the effects of prosodic phrase boundary on duration for different tones are almost the same in PTH, but the lengthening part of T1 or T2 is longer than that of T3 or T4 in TM.     

Experimental study on downstep in Chinese intonation

Downstep in pitch contour of Chinese Putonghua is examined using subtly designed sentences by controlling tone combinations. The results show both automatic and nonautomatic downstep phenomena exist in Chinese. In non-automatic downstep, low tones compress downwards the pitch range of the following syllables. and the main influence of downstep is on topline. Low tone not only lower the topline behind it, but also raise the high tones before it, the effects are compatible with each other. In automatic downstep, the topline of pitch contour in intonational phrase is presented as a linear downtrend, but it differs among speakers due to the effect of personal stress practice. In comparison with downstep phenomenon in other tone or non-tone languages, the downstep ratio in Chinese is not constant, and the domain of downstep is not limited within the adjacent tones.     

Abelian-Higgs phase of SU(2) QCD and glueball energy

It is shown that SU(2) QCD admits an dual Abelian-Higgs phase, with a Higgs vacuum of a type-Ⅱ superconductor. This is done by using a connection decomposition for the gluon field and the random-direction approximation. Using a bag picture with soft wall, we presented a calculational procedure for the glueball energy based on the recent proof for wall-vortices [Nucl. Phys. B 741(2006)1].     

Theoretical analysis and simulation of conjugate heights for dual-conjugate AO system in lidar

A multi-conjugate adaptive optics （MCAO） can offer a possibility of widening field of view （FOV） characterized by the isoplanatic angle, and the choose of conjugate height becomes a basic problem for MCAO, which influences the size of iosplanatic angle. Considering the application of lidar, the isoplanatic angle＇s expressions of two deformable mirrors （DMs） MCAO for uplink and downlink are deduced. The effects of conjugate heights for dual-conjugate AO are thoughtfully discussed, and the isoplanatic angles are further analyzed. The results show that the isopanatic angle varies with the conjugate height and reaches the maximum as the conjugate height is at the optimal altitude. Moreover, the optimal conjugate height changes with the propagation distance.     

Quick single-photon detector with many avalanche photo diodes working on the time division

Due to the limit of response speed of the present single-photon detector, the code rate is still too low to come into practical use for the present quantum key distribution (QKD) system.A new idea is put up to design a quick single-photon detector.This quick single-photon detector is composed of a multi-port optic-fiber splitter and many avalanche photo diodes (APDs).Au of the ports with APDs work on the time division and cooperate with a logic discriminating and deciding unit driven by the clock signal.The operation frequency lies on the number N of ports, and can reach N times of the conventional single-photon detector.The single-photon prompt detection can come true for high repetition-rate pulses.The applying of this detector will largely raise the code rate of the QKD, and boost the commercial use.     

Signal generation in an isotropic medium in scanning electron acoustic microscope

Based on the research in Ref. [5][Materials Science and Engineering, 1989; A122： 57 63], an improved model of heat source is set up, the different modes of Lamb wave in an isotropic sample generated by a chopped electron beam at frequency f are obtained with integral transform and normal function expansion method, and the output signal of PZT coupled at the back surface of the sample is found out. The generation mechanism of SEAM （Scanning Electron Acoustic Microscopy） signal is discussed. It shows that the SEAM is a near field imaging technique with high spatial resolution and its best lateral spatial resolution is about 2√2α （α is the radius of the focused electron beam）. Some of experimental results of SEAM images are presented in the paper and it shows that the spatial resolution of SEAM is better than 0.5 μm and smaller than the thermal diffusion length of the sample. Therefore the character of near field imaging in SEAM is also proved experimentally.     

High efficiency filtering using two-dimensional photonic crystal coupled cavity structures

Transmission spectra of coupled cavity structures (CCSs) in two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystals (PCs) are investigated using a coupled mode theory, and an optical filter based on CCS is proposed. The performance of the filter is investigated using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, and the results show that within a very short coupling distance of about 3λ, where λ is the wavelength of signal in vacuum, the incident signals with different frequencies are separated into different channels with a contrast ratio of 20 dB. The advantages of this kind of filter are small size and easily tunable operation frequencies.
