Two-dimensional novel optical lattices with multi-well traps for cold atoms or molecules

We propose some new schemes to constitute two-dimensional (2D) array of multi-well optical dipole traps for cold atoms (or molecules) by using an optical system consisting of a binary π-phase grating and a 2D array of rectangle microlens. We calculate the intensity distribution of each optical well in 2D array of multi-well traps and its geometric parameters and so on. The proposed 2D array of multi-well traps can be used to form novel 2D optical lattices with cold atoms (or molecules), and form various novel optical crystals with cold atoms (or molecules), or to perform quantum computing and quantum information processing on an atom chip, even to realize an array of all-optical multi-well atomic (or molecular) BoseEinstein condensates (BECs) on an all-optical integrated atom (or molecule) chip.

为降低相控阵超声检测全聚焦算法的成像数据量及阵列稀疏优化的计算时间,研究了一种用于稀疏阵列全聚焦成像的阵列优化算法,并通过实验对其成像效果进行了验证。针对目前超声相控阵检测的全矩阵采集数据量大、全聚焦算法成像时间长的难点,该文通过构建稀疏阵列,在保证成像质量的同时显著降低成像数据量,提高了全聚焦算法的成像效率。通过以主瓣宽度、旁瓣峰值以及主瓣峰值作为约束条件构建适应度函数,采用粒子群算法得到稀疏阵元位置分布并进行阵元权重修正,并将其用于稀疏全聚焦成像。相比全阵元成像,使用粒子群算法所得的稀疏阵列的阵元个数降低了56.25%、65.62%,数据使用量降低了80.86%、88.18%。在阵列优化方面,相比遗传算法减少了84.86%的计算时间。     

Perforated nanocap array: Facile fabrication process and efficient surface enhanced Raman scattering with fluorescence suppression

Recently, individual reduced-symmetry metal nanostructures and their plasmonic properties have been studied extensively. However, little attention has been paid to the approach to fabricating ordered reduced-symmetry metal nanostructure arrays. In this paper, a novel perforated silver nanocap array with high surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity and fluorescence suppression is reported. The array is fabricated by electron beam evaporating Ag onto the perforated barrier layer side of a hard anodization (HA) anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template. The morphology and optical property of the perforated silver nanocap array are characterized by an atomic force microscope (AFM), a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and absorption spectra. The results of SERS measurements reveal that the perforated silver nanocap array offers high SERS activity and fluorescence suppression compared with an imperforated silver nanocap array.

A novel controllable double-layer magnetic lattice with cold atoms

We propose a novel array of controllable double-well magnetic microtraps for cold atoms by using an array of square current-carrying wires and two additional bias magnetic fields. Arrays of double layer magnetooptical traps (MOTs) and Ioffe traps can be constructed by using same wire configurations and different currents and bias fields. Furthermore, the array of double-well magnetic microtraps can be continuously evolved as an array of single-well magnetic microtraps by reducing the currents in the wires. Our study shows that our scheme can be used to realize a controllable double-layer magnetic lattice with cold atoms, to form array of Bose-Einstein condensations (BECs), or to study atom interference, and so on.

Two-dimensional virtual array for ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation using a time-reversal chaotic cavity

Despite its introduction more than a decade ago, a two-dimensional ultrasonic array remains a luxury in nondestructive evaluation because of the complexity and cost associated with its fabrication and operation. This paper describes the construction and performance of a two-dimensional virtual array that solves these problems. The virtual array consists of only two transducers (one each for transmit and receive) and an aluminum chaotic cavity, augmented by a 10 × 10 matrix array of rectangular rods. Each rod, serving as an elastic waveguide, is calibrated to emit a collimated pulsed sound beam centered at 2.5 MHz using the reciprocal time reversal. The resulting virtual array is capable of pulse-echo interrogation of a solid sample in direct contact along 10 × 10 scan lines. Three-dimensional imaging of an aluminum test piece, the nominal thickness of which is in the order of 1 cm, is successfully carried out using the virtual array.     

Generation of optical vortex array based on the fractional Talbot effect

A phase-only diffractive optical element (DOE) for generating array of optical vortices with high compression ratio is presented. Since it is designed according to the fractional Talbot effect, we name the DOE optical vortex Talbot array illuminator (OVTAI). As an example, an OVTAI for generating a hexagonal array of optical vortices is designed, and demonstrated through displaying the OVTAI on a programmable liquid crystal spatial light modulator. The diffraction properties of the vortex array generated by the OVTAI are observed and analyzed, and an optimal distance for generating sharp ringed vortex arrays is given.     

Hyperchaotic behaviours and controlling hyperchaos in an array of RCL-shunted Josephson junctions

This paper deals with dynamical behaviours in an array composed of two resistive-capacitive-inductive-shunted (RCL-shunted) Josephson junctions (RCLSJJs) and a shunted resistor. Numerical simulations show that periodic, chaotic and hyperchaotic states can coexist in this array. Moreover, a scheme for controlling hyperchaos in this array is presented by adjusting the external bias current. Numerical results confirm that this scheme can be effectively used to control hyperchaotic states in this array into stable periodic states, and different stable periodic states with different period numbers can be obtained by appropriately choosing the intensity of the external bias current.     

A 24-GHz Patch Array with a Power Amplifier/Low-Noise Amplifier MMIC

This paper presents an active patch array designed at 24 GHz. It can be used as a front-end component for a phased array. A series resonant array structure is chosen which is compact and easy excite. With 5 elements, the array proved a 12-dB antenna gain. A power amplifier and a low noise amplifier are designed on a single GaAs chip (PALNA). Bias switch is used in the PALNA, which greatly reduces the switch loss in a transceiver and increases the efficiency. 20-dB small signal gain is achieved in both power amplifier and low noise amplifier. The active patch array is built by the combination of the patch array and PALNA. The measured active gain of this antenna is 35-dB for the PA mode and 31-dB for the LNA mode. This active patch array can obtain an EIRP of 34 dBm with a total radiated power of 22dBm and a maximum PAE of 32%. To check the noise performance, we applied sources at both normal temperature and 77K (liquid nitrogen) and extracted the noise figure (3.5 dB) of the active antenna by the Y factor method. The results proved that the active antenna is working efficiently as both a transmitting and receiving antenna.     

Two-dimensional phased arrays for surgery: Movement of a single focus

Numerical simulation and comparative analysis of acoustic fields generated by two-dimensional phased arrays designed for ultrasonic surgery is conducted. The case of movement of a single focus by an array with the surface shaped as a part of a spherical shell with the curvature radius 120 mm is considered. The influence of the number of elements (varying from 64 to 1024), their diameter (from 2.5 to 10 mm), frequency (from 1 to 2 MHz), and the degree of sparseness of the elements at the array surface on the field characteristics is studied. The calculations are performed for arrays with elements positioned at the surface both regularly (in square, annular, or hexagonal patterns) and randomly. Criteria for the evaluation of the “quality” of intensity distributions in the field generated by an array in the case of movement of a single focus are suggested. Of all arrays studied, the best quality of distributions is obtained for an array containing 256 elements of diameter 5 mm randomly positioned at the array surface. The quality of the intensity distributions for arrays consisting of 255, 256, and 1024 elements positioned regularly (in square, annular, and hexagonal patterns) is inferior to the corresponding quality for arrays with randomly positioned elements. The irregularity in elements’ positioning considerably improves the distribution quality by suppressing the secondary intensity peaks in the field generated by the array; or, alternatively, it provides an opportunity to obtain the same distribution quality with a fraction of the number of elements in the array. The effects of the number and shape of elements, errors in phase setting, frequency modulation of signals, and non-uniform distribution of amplitudes over the array surface on the distribution quality are analyzed.     

Statistically optimized near field acoustic holography using an array of pressure-velocity probes

Statistically optimized near field acoustic holography (SONAH) differs from conventional near field acoustic holography (NAH) by avoiding spatial Fourier transforms; the processing is done directly in the spatial domain. The main advantage of SONAH compared with NAH is that the usual requirement of a measurement aperture that extends well beyond the source can be relaxed. Both NAH and SONAH are based on the assumption that all sources are on one side of the measurement plane whereas the other side is source free. An extension of the SONAH procedure based on measurement with a double layer array of pressure microphones has been suggested. The double layer technique makes it possible to distinguish between sources on the two sides of the array and thus suppress the influence of extraneous noise coming from the "wrong" side. It has also recently been demonstrated that there are significant advantages in NAH based on an array of acoustic particle velocity transducers (in a single layer) compared with NAH based on an array of pressure microphones. This investigation combines the two ideas and examines SONAH based on an array of pressure-velocity intensity probes through computer simulations as well as experimentally.

高功率微波波导缝隙阵宽角扫描特性研究

波导间缝隙的互耦会严重降低高功率微波宽边纵缝波导缝隙阵的宽角扫描能力。设计了一L波段高功率宽边纵缝波导缝隙阵,在阵列波导间设计扼流槽结构抑制缝隙互耦。数值模拟结果表明,没有扼流槽结构的阵列波束扫描增益下降3 dB的角度为24.7°,具有扼流结构的阵列扫描增益下降3 dB的角度为33°。同时扼流结构还可以明显改善阵列的有源反射系数,有扼流结构的阵列有源VSWR≤3的带宽为6.6%,而没有扼流结构的阵列有源VSWR≤3的带宽为5.0%。数值模拟结果还表明,波束扫描时(扫描角35°),阵列功率容量可达到957 MW, 比阵列无波束扫描时(1.008 GW)稍低一点。     

Collective surface plasmon resonance coupling in silver nanoshell arrays

Collective surface plasmon resonance (SPR) excitations in an ordered array of silver nanoshells have been theoretically studied using generalized Mie theory. Near- and far-field radiative coupling between the nanoshells in the array result in a non-monotonic shift of the collective SPR band. When the distance between the shells in the array approaches that of the collective SPR wavelength, we observe narrowing of the collective SPR band due to constructive interference between the scattered electric field from the particles in the array. Further increase of the distance between the nanoshells in the array leads to destructive interference and broadening of the collective SPR band.

Two-dimensional phased arrays for surgical applications: Multiple focus generation and scanning

A numerical simulation and a comparative analysis of the acoustic fields produced by two-dimensional phased arrays intended for ultrasonic surgery are performed for the case of a multiple focus (in particular, 25 foci) generation. The calculations were conducted for arrays (with an operating frequency of 1.5 MHz) consisting of 256 elements 5 mm in diameter, which were positioned on the array surface both regularly and randomly. The array foci can be formed simultaneously, but, in this case, the intensity levels of the secondary peaks in the ultrasonic field can exceed the values that guarantee the safe application of this method in surgery. A much safer way is to synthesize many foci with the use of several configurations, each of which contains a smaller number of foci. The number of foci in individual configurations must be approximately the same. It is demonstrated that randomization of the element distribution over the array surface provides an opportunity to improve the array performance, to reduce the intensity levels of secondary peaks in the acoustic field, and to increase the array capability for multiple focus scanning off the array axis.
