Transverse relaxation determination based on light polarization modulation for spin-exchange relaxation free atomic magnetometer

A transverse relaxation determination of spin-exchange relaxation free(SERF) magnetometer based on polarization modulation technique is proposed. Compared with the radio-frequency(RF) excitation and light intensity excitation methods used in SERF magnetometer, the light polarization modulation method has a high stability in low-frequency range,which indicates a more accurate transverse relaxation measurement.     

遗传算法在柱状高温气冷堆换料优化问题中的应用

堆芯换料方案的优化是一个典型的组合优化问题,其搜索空间异常庞大。传统的优化算法很难在如此巨大的搜索空间中寻找出全局最优解。遗传算法以其优良的自适应能力和优化能力,为组合优化问题提供了一个非常有效的解决途径。采用遗传算法对柱状高温气冷堆堆芯装料方案进行了优化,并编写了相应程序。为了提高堆物理的计算精度,堆芯临界计算采用26群输运计算。由于多群输运计算需要大量计算时间,为此对遗传算法进行了并行优化。为了验证遗传算法对柱状高温气冷堆换料的优化能力,构造了一个8组件的小型柱状高温气冷堆换料优化基准题。结果表明,遗传算法在柱状高温气冷堆换料优化问题中具有良好的优化能力和计算稳定性。     

Noise reduction and signal to noise ratio improvement in magneto-optical polarization rotation measurement

The measurement of an extremely small magneto-optical polarization rotation angle with high sensitivity is integral to many scientific and technological applications. In this Letter, we have presented a technique based on Faraday modulation combined with the optical differential method to measure an extremely small polarization rotation angle with high sensitivity. The theoretical and experimental results show that common mode noise is reduced appreciably and signal to noise ratio is enhanced. The effectiveness of this technique has been demonstrated by measuring the Verdet constant of terbium gallium garnet glass and measuring the small polarization rotation angle. A sensitivity of enhancement of one order of magnitude has been achieved using differential detection based on Faraday modulation.     

多层石墨烯纳米带光电探测器理论与性能分析

多层石墨烯具有超宽的光谱吸收范围及独特的光电性能,是制作下一代光电探测器件的理想材料。以石墨烯的带间隧穿理论为基础,提出了一个多层石墨烯纳米带结构的光电探测器模型,纳米带的两端与源极和漏极相连,夹在半导体基质和上下栅极之间。利用这个模型,建立了多层石墨烯纳米带探测器的光电转换机制,讨论了上栅极电压不同时探测器的工作原理,研究了源-漏极间光电流及暗电流与入射光能量的关系,探讨了探测器的偏置电压,耗尽层长度以及带隙取值对暗电流的影响,并分析了不同参数下探测器响应率以及探测率随入射光能量的变化关系。结果表明,探测器的响应率随纳米带层数的增加而增加,受带隙,耗尽层长度和偏置电压的影响,最大的响应率约为103 A·W-1; 通过限制上栅压,带隙等变量可以控制系统暗电流,增大探测器的探测率,最高探测率约为109 cm·Hz1/2·W-1。多层石墨烯纳米带结构可以增强探测器对入射光的吸收,提高探测器的灵敏度以及对弱光的探测能力,实现对太赫兹到远红外波段入射光的有效探测,探测性能远高于许多量子结构和窄带半导体结构的光电探测器。
