Highly sensitive digital optical sensor with large measurement range based on the dual-microring resonator with waveguide-coupled feedback

We propose a novel high-performance digital optical sensor based on the Mach-Zehnder interferential effect and the dual-microring resonators with the waveguide-coupled feedback. The simulation results show that the sensitivity of the sensor can be orders of magnitude higher than that of aconventional sensor, and high quality factor is not critical in it. Moreover, by optimizing the length of the feedback waveguide to be equal to the perimeter of the ring, the measurement range of the proposed sensor is twice as much as that of the conventional sensor in the weak coupling case.     

Sensing Characteristics of Shear-Mode A1N Solidly Mounted Resonators with a Silicone Microfluidic System in Viscous Media

A1N solidly mounted resonators with silicone microfiuidic systems vibrating in shear mode are fabricated and characterized. The fabrication process is compatible with integrated circuits and the c-axis tilted A1N films are deposited, which allow in-liquid operation through excitation of the shear mode. The silicone microfluidic system is mounted on top of the sensor chip to transport the analyses and confine the flow to the active area. The properties of sensor operation in air, deionized water, ethanol, isopropanol, 80% glycol aqueous solution, glycol, and olive oil are characterized. The effects of different viscosities on the resonance frequency shift and Q-factor of the sensor have been discussed. The sensitivity and Q value in glycol of the sensor are 1.52 MHz cm2/μg and around 60, respectively. The results indicate the potential of a highly sensitive microfiuidic sensor system for the applications in viscous media.     

Manipulating Single-Photon Transport Properties in an Asymmetrical Waveguide Coupled to a Whispering-Gallery Resonator Containing a Two-Level Atom

A hybrid system containing an asymmetrical waveguide coupled to a whispering-gallery resonator embedded with a two-level atom is designed to investigate single-photon transport properties. The transmission and reflection amplitudes are obtained via the discrete coordinates approach. Numerical simula, tion demonstrates that a tri- frequency photon attenuator is realized by controlling the couplings between the asymmetrical waveguide and the whispering-gallery resonator. The phase shift, group delay and dissipation effects of the transmitted single-photon are also discussed.     

Spectroscopic Diagnostics of Atmospheric Argon Microwave Plasma Based on an Inductive Coupling Window-Rectangular Resonator

We present a novel microwave plasma source based on an inductive coupling window-rectangular resonator. A definite volume of atmospheric argon microwave plasma is excited in the source under the input of several kilowatts of microwave power operating at 2.45 0Hz. The excitation temperature and electron temperature of the argon plasma are separately researched by using Boltzmann plot and line-to continuum intensity ratio of Ar I spectral lines. Its electron density is inferred from the Stark broadening of the Hβ line at 486.13nm.     

A Multiple Resonant Mode Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator Based on Silicon-on-Insulator Structures

With the rapid development of wireless technol- ogy, the demand for integrating multi-band devices has spurred substantial research interest. Research on CMOS compatible radio-frequency （rf） devices has also attracted significant attention. The resonant frequency of film bulk acoustic resonators （FBARs） is mainly determined by the thickness of the piezo- electric film, complicating the integration of differ- ent frequencies on a single chip. One report real- ized multiple resonant frequencies around 2.0 GHz by changing the quality of the electrode. Another re- port obtained the 2.5 GHz main frequency response with a quality factor （Q） of 101.8 and some spuri- ous resonances, while these spurious resonances were irregular.

大空腔探测系统的Am-Li中子优化屏蔽

为了减少Am-Li中子本底对高浓铀部件质量主动多重性测量的影响,对大空腔探测系统(NPLNMC)Am-Li中子本底的优化屏蔽进行了模拟研究,提出了一个基于高密度聚乙烯为中子屏蔽体的优化方案。通过对比模拟结果与屏蔽前实验测量结果,发现屏蔽使Am-Li中子本底探测效率明显降低,从原来的15.77%降为屏蔽后的1.94%,大约降低了87.7%;而屏蔽对裂变中子计数的影响却相对较小,只比屏蔽前降低约2.4%。本底中子计数的降低明显提高了系统对铀部件质量测量的灵敏度,在3000s测量时间内,其质量测量下限从原来的大约6.4kg下降到屏蔽后的2.6kg;同时,屏蔽后的NPL-NMC系统在相同测量条件下,铀部件质量测量准确性提高50%以上。
