Controllable alignment of liquid crystals based on the surface relief gratings from a photocross-linkable organic monomer

The orientational control of liquid crystal (LC) molecules is essential for high-quality liquid crystal displays, and the photo-induced surface relief grating (SRG) is a facile and effective non-contact process. Here, SRGs with different period and depth were prepared with a photocross-linkable organic monomer 4-propyldiphenylacetylenecarboxylic acid cinnamyl ester (PDACE), and the LC alignment induced by SRG was studied. It is found that both the surface topography and the chemical nature of the surface are responsible for the LC alignment, which is strongly dependent on the groove geometry of the gratings. Furthermore, the patterned LC cell was fabricated with the patterned SRG surface. These results demonstrate that the planar, perpendicular and patterned orientations of LC can be easily photo-controllably obtained with PDACE, which have important applications in optical devices.     

Solving the Problem of Gravitational Compression of a Layered Sphere (by the Example of the Earth)

The problem of spherically symmetric, gravitational compression of an isotropic hyperelastic layered sphere which modeling the region of the Earth below the Mohorovii boundary is solved. The known mechanical characteristics of the Earth in the compressed state are used to find its characteristics in the unstrained state obtained by adiabatic or isothermal stress relief. The stress state differs significantly from the state of purely hydrostatic compression. The minimum bulk compression and maximum radial tension occur not on the boundary of the sphere but in depth at certain distances from the boundary.     

High-performance AlGaAs-based VCSELs emitting in the 760 nm wavelength range

Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) showing continuous-wave operation with emission wavelengths ranging between 717 and 790 nm have been fabricated. The samples are grown by solid source molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs substrates and are entirely based on the AlGaAs material system. A maximum single-mode output power of 2.0 mW is obtained at 754 nm wavelength by using the inverted surface relief technique.

Application of Surface Relief Hologram Using Azobenzene Containing Polymer Film

Surface relief holograms are fabricated by irradiation of laser interference patterns on an azobenzene polymer film. The hologram needs no post-treatment, and can be erased by heating the films to above its glass transition temperature. Rewritable Fresnel holograms are fabricated on azo-polymer film. Replication of the surface relief hologram is also demonstrated. An application for business cards is considered.     

Polarisation-sensitive optical elements in azobenzene polyesters and peptides

In this article, we describe fabrication of polarisation holographic optical elements in azobenzene polyesters. Both liquid crystalline and amorphous side-chain polyesters have been utilised. Diffractive optical elements such as lenses and gratings that are sensitive to the polarisation of the incident light have been fabricated with polarisation holography. Computer-generated optical elements and patterns have also been written with a single polarised laser beam. Recording of polarisation defects enabling easy visualisation is also shown to be feasible in azobenzene polyesters.     

Electrochemical Deposition of Azobenzene‐Containing Network Films with High‐Contrast and Stable Photoresponse

To fabricate stable photoresponsive films and devices, a cross‐linked network that firmly fixes the position of the chromophores is an ideal structure, because aggregation and/or phase separation effects of chromophores in matrix can be effectively restrained in such robust films. Herein, the in situ electrochemical deposition (ED) of azo‐based precursors containing multielectroactive carbazole units is utilized to construct highly cross‐linked photoresponsive films. 2‐(4‐(9,9‐bis(6‐(9H‐carbazol‐9‐yl)hexyl)‐9H‐fluoren‐2‐yl)phenyl)‐1‐(4‐(9,9‐bis(6‐(9H‐carbazol‐9‐yl)hexyl)‐9H‐fluoren‐7‐yl)phenyl)diazene (BFCzAzo) with high solvability in electrolyte solution, high electroactivity, and highly efficient photoresponsive ability is synthesized by Suzuki coupling reaction as a kind of ED precursor. A highly cross‐linked photoresponsive film is fabricated by ED method using BFCzAzo as ED precursor. The film can be patterned in large area by irradiation with interfering laser beam (355 nm), and the pattern possesses excellent thermal stability and insoluble ability in both organic and inorganic solvents. Excellent reversibility of the nanostructures is demonstrated by irradiation with 550 nm laser beam.

     

透明导电薄膜ITO对浅面浮雕VCSEL的影响

对于顶面出光的浅面浮雕VCSEL结构,有源区的电流密度分布的不均性制约着单模稳定性的提高。为此,提出了一种新型结构:氧化铟锡透明导电薄膜(ITO)浅面浮雕VCSEL。该结构不仅能够增大高阶模式的阈值增益,还能够提高基模的增益,实现基模对高阶模式的稳定抑制。研究了ITO的厚度对阈值增益的影响及ITO对VCSEL有源区电流密度分布的影响。研究结果表明:在ITO的厚度为半波长的整数倍时,基模对高阶模式的限制作用最强;ITO通过改善VCSEL有源区的电流密度分布,达到了增大基模的增益和降低高阶模式增益的目的,同时还降低了串联电阻和外电压。

突发灾害发生后,应急药品需求数量呈现爆发式增长,充足的应急药品对减少和控制人员伤亡、保障救灾效果及减少经济损失具有重要作用。由于应急药品的需求特性和自然属性,我国现行的应急药品储备模式很容易造成应急药品短缺或过期,也无法保证政府与医药企业长久的合作关系,因此如何科学合理地储备应急药品成为政府亟待解决的关键难题。为此,本文引入期权契约到政府与医药企业组成的两级供应链系统,构建了期权契约机制下应急药品储备模型,得出政企最优决策策略及双方成本收益,给出了实现供应链协调与政企双赢的条件。研究表明,应急药品储备模型提高了应急药品储备水平,降低了政府库存风险,有利于保障供应商合理收益及控制政府成本,为政企建立长久的合作关系提供了依据,为应急药品储备提供了可行的操作策略。
