从废水到新能源:光催化燃料电池的优化与应用

随着经济的飞速发展,社会对能源的需求日益扩大,对工业废水的无害化处理也提出了更高的要求。光催化燃料电池 (photocatalytic fuel cell, PFC) 在燃料电池中引入半导体光催化材料作为电极,实现了有机污染物高效降解和同步对外产电的双重功能,在废水无害化与资源化利用方面具有潜在的应用价值。半导体光催化电极是PFC系统高效运行的核心组件,增强其可见光响应和光生载流子分离是提高PFC性能的关键策略。反应器结构设计和运行参数优化也有利于改善PFC性能。本文从PFC基本原理和应用入手,综述了PFC在环境污染物资源化处理中的研究进展,并详细阐述了提高PFC的污染控制性能和产电效率的优化手段,为进一步设计高效稳定的PFC系统并实现其在水污染控制和清洁能源生产中的应用提供理论指导。     

3-D vertical ray shooting and 2-D point enclosure, range searching, and arc shooting amidst convex fat objects

We present a new data structure for a set of n convex simply-shaped fat objects in the plane, and use it to obtain efficient and rather simple solutions to several problems including (i) vertical ray shooting—preprocess a set of n non-intersecting convex simply-shaped flat objects in 3-space, whose xy-projections are fat, for efficient vertical ray shooting queries, (ii) point enclosure—preprocess a set C of n convex simply-shaped fat objects in the plane, so that the k objects containing a query point p can be reported efficiently, (iii) bounded-size range searching— preprocess a set C of n convex fat polygons, so that the k objects intersecting a “not-too-large” query polygon can be reported efficiently, and (iv) bounded-size segment shooting—preprocess a set C as in (iii), so that the first object (if exists) hit by a “not-too-long” oriented query segment can be found efficiently. For the first three problems we construct data structures of size O(λ_s(n)log³n), where s is the maximum number of intersections between the boundaries of the (xy-projections) of any pair of objects, and λ_s(n) is the maximum length of (n, s) Davenport-Schinzel sequences. The data structure for the fourth problem is of size O(λ_s(n)log²n). The query time in the first problem is O(log⁴n), the query time in the second and third problems is O(log³n + klog²n), and the query time in the fourth problem is O(log³n).

We also present a simple algorithm for computing a depth order for a set as in (i), that is based on the solution to the vertical ray shooting problem. (A depth order for , if exists, is a linear order of , such that, if K₁, K₂ and K₁ lies vertically above K₂, then K₁ precedes K₂.) Unlike the algorithm of Agarwal et al. (1995) that might output a false order when a depth order does not exist, the new algorithm is able to determine whether such an order exists, and it is often more efficient in practical situations than the former algorithm.     

外腔反馈对半导体激光器振荡特性的影响

通过有效反射系数的引入，根据激光谐振腔的自再现条件和对腔内光子密度、载流子密度方程的求解，分析了外腔反馈对半导体激光器的阈值增益、振荡频率和输出功率等振荡特性的影响，并通过实验进行了验证.外腔反馈后，半导体激光器的阈值电流从420mA降为370mA，输出功率的斜率效率获得了提高，理论计算的输出功率曲线与实验结果符合的很好. 关键词： 半导体激光器 外腔反馈 振荡特性

分析了相对论条件下激光超短脉冲在等离子体中的传输特性 ,在傍轴近似和慢变振幅近似条件下 ,推导了折射率、电子密度、静电场以及电子空腔尺度的表达式。当激光功率超过产生自导引阈值功率时 ,激光束斑沿着传输光轴方向振荡。在有质动力产生的压力非常强时 ,聚焦光束中央部分的电子被全部排开形成电子空腔。给出了电子空腔的尺寸以及在出现电子空腔时的处理方法。在超过形成电子空腔的阈值功率 (Pc≈ 2 .5TW )时 ,空腔的尺度几乎与激光功率无关 ,这意味着电子空腔阻止了激光脉冲的进一步聚焦。     

半导体激光器光束准直系统的功率耦合效率

在长距离无线光通信中，接收点光功率密度与光束发散角平方呈反比关系，为了获得小的发散角和大的功率耦合效率，要求准直系统有较大的数值孔径(NA)，但数值孔径过大会增加像差，因此合理设计功率耦合效率与准直系统的数值孔径就非常重要。该文对半导体激光器光束准直系统中功率耦合效率进行了研究，给出了半导体激光器光束功率耦合效率与k(孔径半径与孔径处等效光束半径之比)的关系表达式，并结合激光器光束准直系统，给出了半导体激光器光束功率耦合效率与准直系统数值孔径的关系表达式。该研究结论对于半导体激光器光束准直系统设计具有参考作用。

腔内倾斜扰动对正支共焦腔本征模式的影响

针对激光器出光过程中腔内像差扰动带来的光束质量下降问题，分析了正支共焦腔腔内不同位置倾斜扰动对本征模式的影响，采用数值迭代法计算了理想状态及腔内不同位置倾斜扰动状态下的本征模式、相位Zernike像差拟合系数.结果表明：对大小给定的扰动，相位相对敏感性从凸面镜到凹面镜逐渐增加，且腔模倾斜像差增大的同时还将导致离焦、像散等高阶像差的增大，因此作腔内补偿时，应使补偿平面尽可能靠近凹面镜.     

Distributed feedback multipeak laser emission in Rhodamine 6G doped organic-inorganic hybrids

Organic-inorganic hybrid materials were prepared from an ureasil precursor (ureapropyltriethoxysilane designated as UPTES) and acrylic acid modified zirconium (IV) n-propoxide. Thin films containing rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) were prepared by spin-coating on glass substrates with different Zr:Si molar ratios (Zr:Si = 75:25, 50:50 and 25:75). Refractive index, thickness, number of propagating modes and attenuation coefficient were measured at 543.5, 632.8 and 1550 nm wavelengths by the prism coupling technique. Distributed feedback (DFB) laser effect was observed and studied as a function of films thickness and refractive index.     

All-optical frequency multiplication/recovery based on a semiconductor optical amplifier ring cavity

A novel scheme for all-optical frequency multiplication/recovery based on a semiconductor optical amplifier ring cavity is proposed and investigated numerically. The results show, for a 2.5 GHz driving pulse train, it can be generated 5-25 GHz repetition rate pulse trains with low clock amplitude jitter, polarization independence and high peak power. Furthermore, the extraction of the clock signal from a pseudorandom bit sequence signal can be realized based on the proposed scheme.
