Resolution improvement for enhancing interference fringes of digital holograms with near infrared illuminance

A new resolution improving method of enhancing the interference stripes, which can achieve better reconstruction of the recorded object of infrared digital holography has been proposed in this paper. The experiment is conducted under near infrared illuminance. We create poor quality holograms with very low-resolution interference stripes and enhance it with our new method. The processed holograms have much higher-resolution interference stripes. This method is based on interpolation theory, and we make it works fast, stable and easy to apply. Both the forward and backward interpolation of the oriental and portrait direction of the source pixels have been calculated, and have been used to realize the final aim of resolution improvement. During the experiment, since the responsivity of the CCD is not satisfied with the illuminance laser, which is by design, we also give specific analysis on the experimental setup of our work to make sure the object information can be fully recorded by the optical setup but cannot be reconstructed because of the low-resolution and unobvious of the interference stripes. After the resolution improvement process of the original hologram, the object information can then be fully reconstructed, which is very clear in the paper. Figures and dataflow give evidence and demonstrate the good performance of our method.     

Molecular signal suppression by in situ microextraction in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

The detailed characterization of complex mixtures by NMR is often hampered by the presence of signals from uninformative compounds, the resonances of which overlap with those of the molecules of interest. We provide here a proof of principle for an approach to NMR signal suppression in complex samples using Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPS). Addition of a few milligrams of polymer to a solution traps the target molecule in typical micromolar to millimolar concentration, thus achieving in situ signal suppression, without altering any other spectral features. This method minimized any manipulation or perturbation of the spectrum and was applied to a complex mixture of known compounds and to a plant extract, in both cases spiked with a compound (bisphenol A), which was subsequently removed by selective binding to a complementary MIP. What is described in this report is comparable with microextraction and may in due course be applied to a large number of analytical challenges. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

基于邻域贡献权值细化的圆心亚像素定位算法

针对传统的圆心算法过程复杂、定位精度受初始边缘提取效果影响较大等问题,提出了一种基于邻域贡献权值细化的圆心亚像素定位算法。首先引入邻域贡献权值系数,改进传统非极大值抑制法,细化边缘;然后在边缘点的梯度方向对灰度值进行高斯拟合,确定亚像素边缘位置;最后针对边缘突变点提出了基于随机抽样一致的最小二乘法来拟合圆心。实验结果表明,该算法具有较好的精度和稳定性,圆心的提取精度可以达到0.1个像素。     

Cluster speckle structures through multiple apertures forming a closed curve

In this work, cluster-like speckle patterns are analyzed. These patterns are generated when a diffuser illuminated by coherent light is imaged by a lens having a pupil mask with multiple apertures forming a closed curve. We show that the cluster structure results from the complex modulation produced inside each speckle which is generated by multiple interferences of light through the apertures. In particular, when the apertures are uniformly distributed along a closed curve, the resulting image speckle cluster replicates the pupil aperture distribution. Experimental results and theoretical simulations show that cluster features depend on the apertures distribution and the size of the closed curves.     

A two-point calibration method for quantifying organic binary mixtures using secondary ion mass spectrometry in the presence of matrix effects

Quantification of the composition of binary mixtures in secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is required in the analyses of technological materials from organic electronics to drug delivery systems. In some instances, it is found that there is a linear dependence between the composition, expressed as a ratio of component volumes, and the secondary ion intensities, expressed as a ratio of intensities of ions from each component. However, this ideal relationship fails in the presence of matrix effects and linearity is observed only over small compositional ranges, particularly in the dilute limits. In this paper, we assess an empirical method, which introduces a power law dependence between the intensity ratio and the volume fraction ratio. A previously published physical model of the organic matrix effect is employed to test the limits of the method and a mixed system of 3,3′-bis(9-carbazolyl) biphenyl and tris(2-phenylpyridinato)iridium (III) is used to demonstrate the method. This paper introduces a two-point calibration, which determines both the exponent in the power law and the sensitivity factor for the conversion of ion intensity ratio into volume fraction ratio. We demonstrate that this provides significantly improved accuracy, compared with a one-point calibration, over a wide compositional range in SIMS quantification and with a weak dependence on matrix effects. Because the method enables the use of clearly identifiable secondary ions for quantitative purposes and mitigates commonly observed matrix effects in organic materials, the two-point calibration method could be of significant benefit to SIMS analysts.

基于U型弯曲光纤模间干涉的折射率传感

研究了去包层U型弯曲光纤的折射率传感特性.首先根据模间干涉理论,分析了U型光纤传感器的传感原理,指出干涉谱损耗峰波长与环境折射率和弯曲半径有关.利用单模光纤(SM-28)实验制作不同曲率半径的U型光纤传感器,把传感器的U型部分浸入不同折射率的液体中,研究其折射率传感特性.当U型光纤曲率半径为2.5~5.0mm时,传输光谱中均能观察到明显的模间干涉现象;当液体折射率从1.30RIU变到1.43RIU时,光谱损耗峰波长发生红移,且弯曲半径越大,折射率传感灵敏度越高;在曲率半径为5mm时灵敏度为207nm/RIU(折射率1.30~1.40RIU)和1 220nm/RIU(折射率1.40~1.42RIU).干涉峰的波形参量(半高宽、对比度)决定于包层模和纤芯导模之间的比例,当曲率半径为4mm时,损耗峰半高宽最小达3.2nm.综合半高宽和灵敏度两个参量,得出曲率半径4.5mm的U型光纤传感器品质因素最高,分别为43.1RIU-1(折射率1.30~1.40RIU)和191.2RIU-1(折射率1.40~1.42RIU),可直接由SM-28单模光纤制成,且制作工艺简单、成本低、机械强度高不需要任何特殊处理,具有很好的应用前景.     

Alleviation of ion suppression effect in sonic spray ionization with induced alternating current voltage

In this study, alleviation of ion suppression effect in sonic spray ionization mass spectrometry (SSI‐MS) was investigated. Ion suppression effect was firstly compared between electrospray ionization (ESI) and conventional SSI, and more severe ion suppression effect was observed with SSI. Ion suppression effect of SSI was also found difficult to be alleviated by simply optimizing major parameters. Alternatively, we found that with the assistance of an alternating current (AC) voltage with low amplitude, the ion suppression effect was greatly alleviated (comparable with conventional ESI). That AC voltage was applied outside the SSI spray tip, and no direct contact between the electrode and spray solution was necessary. Besides the alleviation of the ion suppression effect, this newly‐developed method, termed as induced electrosonic spray ionization (IESSI), appeared to preserve similar charge state distribution with SSI for protonated cytochrome c, hemoglobin, and bradykinin. IESSI could also obtain significantly improved ion intensities (~1000‐fold over conventional SSI). In addition, tolerance of concentrated salts for IESSI‐MS was investigated through the analysis of cytochrome c in the presence of concentrated sodium chloride (NaCl) or ammonium acetate (NH₄OAc).

Highly Efficient Deep-Red Non-Doped Diodes Based on a T-Shape Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Emitter

Device simplification is of practical significance for organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), and remains the great challenge for deep-red emitters. Herein, a deep-red thermally activated delayed fluorescence molecule ( p TPA-DPPZ ) is reported which features a T shaped structure containing two triphenylamine (TPA) donors, one either side of a planar dipyridophenazine (DPPZ) acceptor. The rational spatial arrangement of the functional groups leads to limited but sufficient molecular packing for effective carrier transport. The neat p TPA-DPPZ film achieves an around 90-fold improved radiation rate constant of 10⁷ s⁻¹ and the nearly unitary reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) efficiency, as well as accelerated emission decays for quenching suppression. The high radiation and RISC result in a photoluminescence quantum yield of 87 %. The bilayer OLED based on the p TPA-DPPZ emissive layer achieved the record external quantum efficiencies of 12.3 % for maximum and 10.4 % at 1000 nits, accompanied by the deep-red electroluminescence with the excellent color purity.
