Monolithically integrated 64‐channel silicon hybrid demultiplexer enabling simultaneous wavelength‐ and mode‐division‐multiplexing

A compact 64‐channel hybrid demultiplexer based on silicon‐on‐insulator nanowires is proposed and demonstrated experimentally to enable wavelength‐division‐multiplexing and mode‐division‐multiplexing simultaneously in order to realize an ultra‐large capacity on‐chip optical‐interconnect link. The present hybrid demultiplexer consists of a 4‐channel mode multiplexer constructed with cascaded asymmetrical directional‐couplers and two bi‐directional 17 × 17 arrayed‐waveguide gratings (AWGs) with 16 channels. Here each bi‐directional AWG is equivalent as two identical 1 × 16 AWGs. The measured excess loss and the crosstalk for the monolithically integrated 64‐channel hybrid demultiplexer are about ‐5 dB and ‐14 dB, respectively. Better performance can be achieved by minimizing the imperfections (particularly in AWGs) during the fabrication processes.

     

盐/甲醇体系荧光光谱的分析和指认

研究了CaCl2、LiCl和Ca(NO3)2在甲醇溶液中的荧光光谱,并对溶液中可能的团簇构型采用密度泛函理论和含时(TD)密度泛函理论中的B3LYP方法进行结构优化和激发能计算.实验结果表明CaCl2和LiCl与甲醇形成了具有荧光性质的簇合物,且随着CaCl2和LiCl浓度的增加溶液的荧光强度整体呈增强趋势,而Ca(NO3)2与甲醇相互作用使甲醇发生荧光猝灭.理论计算得到盐/甲醇溶液中可能存在多种簇合物,但能使甲醇溶液荧光增强的团簇构型主要为[CaCl(CH3OH)n]+和LiCl(CH3OH)n,而NO3-与甲醇通过氢键作用形成簇合物的振荡强度几乎为零,解释了NO3-使甲醇发生荧光猝灭的现象.     

DNA Nanoflowers for Multiplexed Cellular Imaging and Traceable Targeted Drug Delivery

We present a facile approach to make aptamer‐conjugated FRET (fluorescent resonance energy transfer) nanoflowers (NFs) through rolling circle replication for multiplexed cellular imaging and traceable targeted drug delivery. The NFs can exhibit multi‐fluorescence emissions by a single‐wavelength excitation as a result of the DNA matrix covalently incorporated with three dye molecules able to perform FRET. Compared with the conventional DNA nanostructure assembly, NF assembly is independent of template sequences, avoiding the otherwise complicated design of DNA building blocks assembled into nanostructures by base‐pairing. The NFs were uniform and exhibited high fluorescence intensity and excellent photostability. Combined with the ability of traceable targeted drug delivery, these colorful DNA NFs provide a novel system for applications in multiplex fluorescent cellular imaging, effective screening of drugs, and therapeutic protocol development.

Routing and wavelength assignment algorithms for multiclass WDM optical networks

In this paper dynamic routing and wavelength assignment strategies have been proposed for multiclass WDM optical networks. Multiclass optical networks provide multiple classes of services to the subscriber according to the requirement, which in turn increase operational profitability. Each class of service could be characterized by parameters like number of wavelengths, expected call holding time and average arrival rate of request. The proposed strategies have been analyzed and compared with existing strategies on the basis of blocking probabilities for multiclass traffic scenarios. Simulation results on different network topologies demonstrate that the performance of proposed strategies “Fixed shortest/alternate shortest path routing with wavelength reservation (FSASWR)” and “Fixed alternate shortest path routing with least priority wavelength assignment (FASPL)” are much better as compared to existing strategies. Proposed strategies minimize blocking probability of the multiclass network using limited number of wavelengths.

Details of Structure Formation During the Induction Period of Spinodal-Type Polymer Crystallization

An unexpected type of primary crystal nucleation is described, involving spinodal decomposition (SD) type microphase separation due to the orientation fluctuations of rigid segments prior to crystal nucleation. This type of mechanism was found by the present authors about 10 years ago, and recently, it was theoretically revealed by Olmsted et al. to be one of three types of primary crystal nucleation: the well-known homogeneous crystal nucleation directly from the liquid–crystal coexistence domain, which occurs at higher temperatures above the binodal temperature T _b , crystal nucleation after binodal microphase separation between T _b and spinodal temperature T _s , and that after SD below T _s . The detailed experimental results for the spinodal-type crystal nucleation, especially the temperature dependence of characteristic wavelength in SD, are explained as well.     

A theorem on refractive index as a function of wavelength

A theorem upon refractive index as a function of wavelength is derived starting from the Taylor expansion around the origin of this function. Our result involves the above index, the group index, and the coefficient of material dispersion all extrapolated to zero wavelength.     

A novel water-soluble AIE-based fluorescence probe with red emission for the sensitive detection of heparin in aqueous solution and human serum samples

Heparin is widely used to anticoagulation treatment in clinic, while the overdoses of heparin can cause potentially catastrophic complications. Thus, the selective and sensitive detection of heparin is of great importance. Herein, a novel water-soluble AIE-based fluorescent probe (TIBI) with red emission (650 nm) has been rationally developed to detect heparin by the electrostatic-interaction and ion replacing strategy. TIBI exhibited excellent selectivity and low detection limit (0.08 μM) for detection of heparin. Moreover, TIBI was successfully applied to detect heparin in complicated serum samples with satisfactory results. This study holds great promise for real time monitoring heparin in clinical application.
