Fusion splicing of double-clad specialty fiber using active alignment technology

The fusion splicing of double-clad (DC) specialty fibers based on active alignment is crucial to the investigation of high-power monolithic fiber lasers. Given the wave-guiding characteristic of DC fiber, a light stripper is introduced in an active alignment experiment. We propose a novel method for stripping light that is convenient, highly effcient, and low cost. This method is also effective for low-numerical-aperture beams that escape from the fiber core. A splice loss as low as 0.05 dB is achieved.     

Label-free tungsten disulfide quantum dots as a fluorescent sensing platform for highly efficient detection of copper(Ⅱ) ions

A fluorescent probe for the sensitive and selective determination of copper ion(Cu~(2+)) is presented. It is based on the use of tungsten disulfide quantum dots(WS_2 QDs) which is independent of the p H of solution and emits strong blue fluorescence. Copper ions could cause aggregation of the WS_2 QDs and lead to fluorescence quenching of WS_2 QDs. The change of fluorescence intensity is proportional to the concentration of Cu~(2+), and the limit of detection is 0.4 μM. The fluorescent probe is highly selective for Cu~(2+) over some potentially interfering ions. These results indicate that WS_2 QDs,as a fluorescent sensing platform, can meet the selective requirements for biomedical and environmental application.

Fiber core mode leakage induced by refractive index variation in high-power fiber laser

This paper presents an investigation of specific optical fiber core mode leakage behavior that occurs in high-power double-clad fiber lasers as a result of thermally-induced refractive index variations. A model of the power transfer between the core modes and the cladding modes during thermally-induced refractive index variations is established based on the mode coupling theory. The results of numerical simulations based on actual laser parameters are presented. Experimental measurements were also carried out, the results showed good agreement with the corresponding simulation results.     

Facilitative effect of graphene quantum dots in MoS_2 growth process by chemical vapor deposition

The substrate treatment with seeding promoter can promote the two-dimensional material lateral growth in chemical vapor deposition(CVD) process. Herein, graphene quantum dots(GQDs) as a novel seeding promoter were used to obtain uniform large-area MoS_2 monolayer. The obtained monolayer MoS_2 films were confirmed by optical microscope,scanning electron microscope, Raman and photoluminescence spectra. Raman mapping revealed that the MoS_2 monolayer was largely homogeneous.     

公路货运平台延迟赔付服务定价策略研究

考虑延迟赔付率、车主延迟风险、货主物流时效关注度的影响下,研究两种延迟赔付定价策略的选择问题,通过逆向求解法获取最优均衡。发现:(1)车主网络外部性大于货主两倍的情况,平台始终选择C策略。反之,若车主延迟风险低于某临界值、货主对物流时效的关注度高于某临界值,应选F策略;否则选C策略。(2)无论F策略还是C策略,平台收益均随车主延迟风险的降低、货主对时效性关注度的提升而提升,不受赔付率影响。(3)若选F策略,则不对货主补贴。若选C策略,车主的网络外部性大于货主的情况下始终实行补贴;反之,只有当车主延迟风险、货主物流时效的关注度满足条件时进行补贴。最后,用数值仿真结论进行验证。     

Effects of post-annealed floating gate on the performance of AlGaN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistors

AlGaN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistors(HFETs) with different floating gate lengths and floating gates annealed at different temperatures, are fabricated. Using the measured capacitance–voltage curves of the gate Shottky contacts for the AlGaN/GaN HFETs, we find that after floating gate experiences 600?C rapid thermal annealing, the larger the floating gate length, the larger the two-dimensional electron gas electron density under the gate region is. Based on the measured capacitance–voltage and current–voltage curves, the strain of the AlGaN barrier layer in the gate region is calculated, which proves that the increased electron density originates from the increased strain of the AlGaN barrier layer.     

Facile and controllable synthesis of molybdenum disulfide quantum dots for highly sensitive and selective sensing of copper ions

Molybdenum disulfide quantum dots(MoS_2QDs) were synthesized via a hydrothermal method using sodium molybdate and cysteine as molybdenum and sulfur sources, respectively. The optimal hydrothermal time was studied. Furthermore, the as synthesized water-soluble MoS_2QDs were used as a fluorescence probe for the sensitive and selective detection of copper ions. The fluorescence of the MoS_2QDs was quenched after the addition of copper ions; the reason may be that the transfer of the excited electron from QDs to copper ions leads to the reduction of the radiative recombination.The fluorescence quenching of MoS_2QDs is linearly dependent on the copper ions concentration ranging from 0.1 μM to600 μM, the limit of detection is 0.098 μM, which is much lower than that of existing methods. Moreover, the MoS_2QDs show highly selectivity towards the detection of copper ions.     

In situ growth of different numbers of gold nanoparticles on MoS_2 with enhanced electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction

Producing hydrogen through a hydrogen evolution reaction(HER) by splitting water at the suitable overpotential is a great alternative to solving the problems of environmental pollution and the energy crisis. Molybdenum sulfide(MoS_2)has attracted extensive attention as one of the most promising catalytic materials for HER. In this work, we design a facile method to in situ grow gold nanoparticles(Au NPs) on MoS_2. Different numbers of Au NPs with MoS_2 are used to find the best catalytic activity. Due to the larger active surface area and higher conductivity of the Au–MoS_2 composites, all the Au–MoS_2 composites exhibit more enhanced HER electroactivity than pure MoS_2. In brief, the new material architecture exhibits optimized HER activity with a low onset overpotential of 0.12 V, low Tafel slope of 0.163 V·dec~(-1), and an excellent stability in acidic solution.
