Is the Near-Earth Current Sheet Prior to Reconnection Unstable to Tearing Mode？

The tearing mode instability plays a key role in the triggering process of reconnection. The triggering collisionless tearing mode instability has been theoretically and numerically analyzed by many researchers. However, due to the difficulty in obtaining the observational wave number, it is still unknown whether the tearing mode instability can be excited in an actual plasma sheet prior to reconnection onset. Using the data from four Cluster satellites prior to a magnetospheric reconnection event on 13 September 2002, we utilized the wave telescope technique to obtain the wave number which corresponds to the peak of power spectral density. The wavelength is about 18RE and is consistent with previous theoretic and numerical results. After substituting the wave vector and other necessary parameters of the observed current sheet into the triggering condition of tearing mode instability, we find that the near-Earth current sheet prior to reconnection is unstable to tearing mode.     

Morlet小波在确定局部周期中的应用

本文通过引入改进的Morlet小波变换核函数,得到了等幅值的Morlet小波变换(MMWT)和功率谱(MMPS).理论及实验均表明,MMPS不但能够准确的确定信号的局部周期,而且使相同振幅(强度)的谐波产生了相同大小的MMPS,弥补了MPS的不足.对于MMWT还给出了相应的Morlet小波变换尺度与频率转化公式.     

A Robust Algorithm for Blind Total Variation Restoration

Image restoration is a fundamental problem in image processing. Blind image restoration has a great value in its practical application. However, it is not an easy problem to solve due to its complexity and difficulty. In this paper, we combine our robust algorithm for known blur operator with an alternating minimization implicit iterative scheme to deal with blind deconvolution problem, recover the image and identify the point spread function（PSF）. The only assumption needed is satisfy the practical physical sense. Numerical experiments demonstrate that this minimization algorithm is efficient and robust over a wide range of PSF and have almost the same results compared with known PSF algorithm.     

γ激光——未来新一代的激光器

 激光技术是二十世纪六十年代最重要的科学技术成就之一.它的诞生使人们深化了对于光的认识,并使光学同其它技术学科发生了联系,开拓了光学应用极其广阔的前景.历史的回顾早在五十年代初期美国物理学家汤斯(C.Tcw-nes)构思了利用二能态分子制造激光器的想法,拟出了设计方案,并在哥伦比亚大学辐射实验室的报告会上作了介绍,但没能引起反响.直到1954年第一台微波激射器研制成功后,才受到人们的重视.     

VCSEL with reticular electrode and larger emitting aperture and its optoelectronic characteristics

The enlargement of the emitting aperture is usually one of the important methods of increasing vertical- cavity surface-emitting laser （VCSEL） optical output power. However, in a VCSEL with a larger aperture, the inhomogeneity in the injected current often causes inhomogeneous or even no emission. To solve this problem and to increase VCSEL output power, as well as to improve its thermal characteristics, we develop a new type of injected VCSEL with a larger aperture and a reticular electrode, where the conventional circular injection electrode of the P side is turned into a reticular one, and the heat sink is on the N side. The tests of the new VCSEL show an improvement in homogeneity in not only the injected current but also the emission intensity. The optical output power is also considerably increased, and the device optoelectronic performance is improved.
