基于峰值匹配分布式估计算法的光纤布拉格光栅传感网络重叠光谱的波长解调

针对有限光源带宽条件下光纤布拉格光栅传感网络重叠复用的解调瓶颈,提出基于峰值匹配分布式估计算法的波长解调方法,将光纤布拉格光栅传感网络重叠光谱的解调问题转化为函数优化问题,利用理论光谱与重叠光谱之间的差异构建优化模型,通过峰值匹配分布式估计算法对该优化模型进行求解得到各光纤布拉格光栅的传感值.分布式估计算法采用高斯混合模型构建描述光纤布拉格光栅传感网络的解空间概率分布,由概率模型采样产生新的种群个体,并引入峰值匹配算子消除光纤布拉格光栅峰值错配,通过反复进化最终得到最优解.采用该方法对不同规模数量的光纤布拉格光栅传感网络进行解调实验,结果表明该方法在大规模光纤布拉格光栅光谱完全重叠的情况下,平均误差可控制在10pm以内;与现有其他解调技术相比,其具有更高的解调精度,能够解决光纤布拉格光栅传感网络光谱在部分重叠甚至完全重叠情况下的波长解调问题,为提升光纤布拉格光栅传感网络复用数量提供了新的解调途径.     

基于粒子群算法的多通道光纤布拉格光栅滤波器优化设计

在多通道光纤布拉格光栅(FBG)滤波器的设计中,通道数目的增加会导致最大折射率调制深度的成倍增长,从而造成物理上的不可实现。为此,提出一种基于粒子群算法(PSO)与直接设计方法相结合的多通道FBG滤波器设计方法。该方法以最小化最大折射率调制深度为优化目标,在目标反射谱中引入一组群时延参数,为每个通道分配合适的群时延参数,建立群时延参数的优化模型。通过粒子群算法计算得到各通道群时延参数的优化分配值,提升折射率调制深度的均匀化分布程度,促使最大折射率调制深度降低到物理可实现的范围内。仿真实验结果表明设计的40通道数、106通道数的两种FBG滤波器的反射谱均匀性好,最大折射率调制深度均降到0.001以下。     

基于人工蜂群算法的多抽运拉曼光纤放大器优化设计

针对多抽运拉曼光纤放大器的优化设计,将人工蜂群算法与平均功率法相结合,应用于拉曼光纤放大器反向抽运的优化配置。在满足给定的净增益条件下,以最小化拉曼增益波动为优化目标建立优化模型,运用平均功率法对拉曼散射方程进行求解,并采用人工蜂群算法获得抽运波长和抽运功率的最优配置。采用上述方法分别对C波段和C+L波段的拉曼光纤放大器进行设计,实验结果表明,在不同净增益设计条件下均能得到小于±0.4dB的增益波动。相比现有方法,人工蜂群算法与平均功率法的结合具有较强的设计性能,能够得到更为平坦的优化结果,具有一定的实用价值。     

Study of the material photon and electron background and the liquid argon detector veto efficiency of the CDEX-10 experiment

The China Dark Matter Experiment (CDEX) is located at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory (CJPL) and aims to directly detect the weakly interacting massive particles (WIMP) flux with high sensitivity in the low mass region. Here we present a study of the predicted photon and electron backgrounds including the background contribution of the structure materials of the germanium detector, the passive shielding materials, and the intrinsic radioactivity of the liquid argon that serves as an anti-Compton active shielding detector. A detailed geometry is modeled and the background contribution has been simulated based on the measured radioactivities of all possible components within the GEANT4 program. Then the photon and electron background level in the energy region of interest (<10^-2 events·kg^-1·day^-1·keV^-1 (cpkkd)) is predicted based on Monte Carlo simulations. The simulated result is consistent with the design goal of the CDEX-10 experiment, 0.1cpkkd, which shows that the active and passive shield design of CDEX-10 is effective and feasible.     

A novel CZT detector using strengthened electric field line anode

In this paper, we report on the design, simulation and testing of a novel CZT detector with an electrode named the Strengthened Electric Field Line Anode (SEFLA). The Strengthened Electric Field (SEF) technique and Single Polarity Charge Sensing (SPCS) technique are implemented. It could achieve the same performance as Coplanar Grid, Pixel Array CZT detectors but requires only a simple readout system. Geant4, Ansoft Maxwell and a self-developed Induced Current Calculator (ICC) package are used to develop an understanding of how the energy spectrum is formed, and the parameters of the detector are optimized. A prototype is fabricated. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of this design. The test shows that the SEFLA detector achieves a FWHM of 6.0% @59.5 keV and 1.6% @662 keV, which matches well with the simulations.     

Performance improvement of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well visible-light photodiodes by optimizing TEGa flow

The performance of an InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well(MQW) based visible-light Schottky photodiode(PD)is improved by optimizing the source flow of TEGa during In Ga N QW growth. The samples with five-pair InGaN/GaN MQWs are grown on sapphire substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. From the fabricated Schottky-barrier PDs, it is found that the smaller the TEGa flow, the lower the reverse-bias leakage is. The photocurrent can also be enhanced by depositing the In GaN QWs with using lower TEGa flow. A high responsivity of 1.94 A/W is obtained at 470 nm and -3-V bias in the PD grown with optimized TEGa flow. Analysis results show that the lower TEGa flow used for depositing In Ga N may lead to superior crystalline quality with improved InGaN/GaN interface, and less structural defects related non-radiative recombination centers formed in the MQWs.     

Limits on light WIMPs with a 1 kg-scale germanium detector at 160 eVee physics threshold at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory

We report results of a search for light weakly interacting massive particle(WIMP) dark matter from the CDEX-1 experiment at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory(CJPL). Constraints on WIMP-nucleon spin-independent(SI) and spin-dependent(SD) couplings are derived with a physics threshold of 160 eVee, from an exposure of 737.1 kg-days. The SI and SD limits extend the lower reach of light WIMPs to 2 GeV and improve over our earlier bounds at WIMP mass less than 6 GeV.
