Propagation properties of an optical vortex carried by an Airy beam: experimental implementation

In this Letter, we experimentally studied the propagation dynamics of Airy beams (AiBs) carrying phase singularity or an optical vortex (OV). A 3/2 phase mask encoded with phase singularity was used to generate AiBs and OVs enjoying precise position alignment and compact optical configuration simultaneously. Experimental results showed that the OV deflection velocity was faster than that of the main lobe of the AiB, agreeing with the analytical prediction. Numerical simulation results are also in agreement with the experimental results. Furthermore, OVs with larger topological charges were also studied experimentally with the same approach.     

The electrochemical preparation and microwave absorption properties of magnetic carbon fibers coated with Fe3O4 films

Electrodeposition was employed to fabricate magnetite (Fe₃O₄) coated carbon fibers (MCCFs). Temperature and fiber surface pretreatment had a significant influence on the composition and morphology of Fe₃O₄ films. Uniform and compact Fe₃O₄ films were fabricated at 75 °C on both nitric acid treated and untreated carbon fibers, while the films prepared at 60 °C were continuous and rough. Microwave measurements of MCCF/paraffin composites (50 wt.% of MCCFs, pretreated carbon fibers as deposition substrates) were carried out in the 2-18 GHz frequency range. MCCFs prepared at 60 °C obtained a much higher loss factor than that prepared at 75 °C. However, the calculation results of reflection loss were very abnormal that MCCFs prepared at 60 °C almost had no absorption property. While MCCFs prepared at 75 °C exhibited a good absorption property and obtained −10 dB and −20 dB refection loss in wide matching thickness ranges (1.0-6.0 mm and 1.7-6.0 mm range, respectively). A secondary attenuation peak could also be observed when the thickness of MCCF/paraffin composite exceeded 4.0 mm. The minimum reflection loss was lower.     

面向半导体照明的光学

以发光二极管(LED)为核心的半导体照明光源成为世界公认的第三代照明光源.通常基于蓝光LED抽运黄色荧光粉产生白光的方案,因荧光粉的斯托克斯位移和宽光谱,其具有产业化价值的发光效率上升范围受到极大限制.另外,传统封装LED因其朗伯型发光分布和超高亮度会造成严重的眩光以及光分布难以满足照明应用要求从而导致光污染、光浪费,...

以发射光谱法为基础,检测了常压状态线-板式脉冲电晕放电过程OH自由基在反应器内的空间分布;研究了线电极直径,线线间距以及线板间距对生成OH自由基的影响;从而明确脉冲电晕放电反应器的性能。结果显示:OH自由基浓度沿线电极X轴方向逐渐降低,活化区域半径20mm左右,沿Y轴方向先升高后降低,活化区域半径大于30mm;线电极的直径小于2mm时,OH自由基的光谱强度基本不变,线电极直径继续增大,发射光谱强度随之迅速下降。线线间距逐渐增大,OH自由基的发射光谱强度随之增强。OH自由基的发射光谱强度随着线板间距的增大而降低。

对sol-gel法制备的不同稀土元素(Ce,Nd,Sm)掺杂的纳米TiO2粒子进行研究。X射线衍射(XRD)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)分析结果表明,稀土离子均以间隙的形式均匀分布在纳米TiO2晶格内。傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)和太赫兹时域光谱(THz-TDS)显示,掺杂TiO2较纯TiO2具有更强的红外活性;在0.2~1.70 THz波段,TiO2的折射率随着频率的增加而减小,并呈现反常色散现象;Ce掺杂引起新的特征吸收,分别为1.35和1.58 THz,且造成太赫兹吸收谱的吸收边发生红移,Nd和Sm掺杂则造成吸收边蓝移。在0.2~1.7 THz范围内,Sm掺杂引起的介电损耗角正切值(taneδ)最小,其平均值为0.05。     

Clifford algebra method for network expression,computation, and algorithm construction

Clifford algebra is introduced as a theoretical foundation for network topology expression and algorithm construction. Network nodes are coded with basis vectors in a vector space , and the edges and k‐walk routes can be expressed by 2‐blades and k‐blades, respectively, in the Clifford algebra Cl(n,0). The topologies among nodes, edges, and routes of networks can be directly calculated, and the network routes can be extended and traversed with oriented join products. The network algorithm construction processes based on Clifford algebra are instantiated by the single source shortest path algorithm. The experimental results on different scale random networks suggest that Clifford algebra is suited for network expression and relation computation. The Clifford algebra‐based shortest path algorithm is vivid and clear in geometric meaning and has great advantage on temporal and spatial complexity. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
