Photorefractive response of bulk periodically poled LiNbO3:Y:Fe at high and low spatial frequencies

Polydomain periodically poled samples of iron-doped lithium niobate allow for phase grating recording with the diffraction efficiency close to that ensured by a single-domain sample with identical thickness. At the same time the optical damage induced by a finite transverse size light beam is considerably reduced in the periodically poled sample as compared with single-domain material.     

带谐振腔反射器的低磁场返波管实验研究

谐振腔反射器到慢波结构输入端之间的漂移段长度对返波管效率有较大影响,文章对该影响进行了理论分析和数值模拟。结果表明：由于谐振腔反射器对电子束的预调制作用,返波管输出功率随漂移段长度的增加而呈现多峰值现象,在选取合适的漂移段长度时,可以显著提高其微波产生的效率。在SINUS－881加速器上开展实验,在引导磁场为0.7 T,漂移段长度为4.9 cm的条件下,实验获得了功率为700 MW,频率为8.7 GHz,脉宽20 ns的微波输出,效率约14%。实验研究证实了模拟结果的正确性。

利用粒子模拟的方法设计了一个高功率毫米波发生器,并对其进行了实验研究及改进。采用过模慢波结构以增大束波作用空间,从而提高功率容量;为实现过模慢波器件的单模、单频工作,选择TM01模的π模作为工作模式。采用过模慢波结构,结合合理的器件结构设计,可降低器件工作所需的导引磁场。实验在TORCH-01加速器平台进行,产生的微波频率由色散线法测量,其功率由远场积分法得到。最初的器件采用矩形波纹慢波结构,得到频率为33.56 GHz、功率约110 MW的微波输出,但功率难以进一步提高,脉宽仅为7~8 ns,且在慢波结构边沿发现击穿痕迹。对矩形慢波结构进行倒圆角处理后,借助数值模拟,发现其TM01模的π模频率变化不大。改进后的器件在0.8 T导引磁场下,当电压和电流分别为590 kV与5.2 kA时,实验得到频率33.56 GHz、功率320 MW的毫米波输出,微波模式为准TM01模,效率约10%,脉宽延长至约13 ns,器件内表面无明显击穿痕迹。     

Analysis of the response time in high-temperature LWIR HgCdTe photodiodes operating in non-equilibrium mode

The paper presents the theoretical investigation of the active region parameters, especially the influence of thickness and doping, on the response time and current responsivity of high-temperature long wavelength infrared HgCdTe photodiodes operating at 230 K in non-equilibrium mode. Results of theoretical predictions of time constant were compared to the experimental data. The response time of the devices have been characterized using Nd:YAG laser, optical parametric generator with pulse width <25 ps and fast oscilloscope with suitable transimpedance amplifier as a function of detector design, temperature and bias. The reverse bias applied to the photodiode causes Auger-suppression and improve the performances of the devices. This way the response time decreases to the value below 1 ns at the good current responsivity increased to the value of about 6 A/W and what is a promising parameter in view of potential telecommunication applications. Due to the series resistance of electrical connections, the response time of the devices is mainly limited by RC constant while the calculations show that the time constant of the Auger suppressed structures should be limited by the drift time of carriers.     

Long period polymer waveguide grating device with positive temperature sensitivity

A long-period waveguide grating (LPWG) was demonstrated in a low-loss negative tone UV-sensitive epoxy novolak resin polymer. The grating structure was fabricated on top of the waveguide using a standard UV lithography process, and no other subsequent process is required after the development step. It is shown that with an appropriate design of the structure a transmission peak at the desired wavelength can be achieved. The LPWG exhibits an attenuation of -18 dB using a grating length of 17 mm. The temperature sensitivity of the LPWG is linear and is found to be 0.89 nm/°C. A red shift of the transmission peak wavelength was also observed and is discussed.

Compact polymer multi-nozzles electrospray device with integrated microfluidic feeding system

Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) atomization consists in using an electric field for spraying a liquid flowing through a capillary. The applications are: mass spectrometry, colloid thrusters and more recently medicine nebulization processes. EHD atomization provides the ability to control the generated droplets size by adjusting electrospray parameters. It is however essential to manufacture the emitters into arrays because flow through a stable cone-jet mode electrospray can only be maintained at low flow rate and most applications require a high throughput. We propose a new design of a multiple electrospray system involving an innovative nozzle shape and flow restrictor system. Nozzles and microfluidic restrictor system are manufactured on the same polycarbonate sheet using the excimer laser technology and thus allowing a high compactness of this system.     

Dielectric response of KCN crystal at ultra low frequencies

The dielectric response of pure KCN crystals (ε′, ε″ and tg σ) has been measured as a function of temperature in the frequency range 10⁻² Hz to 10⁴ Hz. In the antiferroelectric phase the width of the loss peak are found practically independent of temperature (1.4 decades) and close to a Debye behavior; the relaxation time of the CN⁻ dipoles is characterized by an Arrhenius behavior τ = τ₀ exp (U/KT) with τ₀ = 7.26 × 10⁻¹⁵s and U = 0, 147 eV confirming a classical temperature activated reorientation of the dipoles.

石墨烯低温热膨胀和声子弛豫时间随温度的变化规律

考虑到原子非简谐振动和电子-声子相互作用,用固体物理理论和方法研究了石墨烯格林艾森参量和低温热膨胀系数以及声子弛豫时间随温度的变化规律,探讨了原子非简谐振动项对它们的影响.结果表明:1)在低于室温的温度范围内,石墨烯的热膨胀系数为负值,随着温度的升高,其热膨胀系数的绝对值单调增加,室温热膨胀系数为-3.64×10~(-6)K~(-1);2)简谐近似下的格林艾森参量为零.考虑到非简谐项后,格林艾森参量在1.40-1.42之间并随温度升高而缓慢增大,几乎成线性关系,第二非简谐项对格林艾森参量的影响小于第一非简谐项;3)石墨烯声子弛豫时间随着温度的升高而减小,其中,温度很低(T10 K)时变化很快,此后变化很慢,当温度不太低(T300 K)时,声子弛豫时间与温度几乎成反比关系.     

Scanning time efficient slinky for non-contrast MRA at low field.

To eliminate slab boundary artifact (SBA) for non-contrast multi-slab three-dimensional time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiogram (3D TOF MRA), we have previously developed a novel technique, termed SLINKY (Sliding Interleaved kY) acquisition in which a thin slab continuously "walks" along the z-axis while data are acquired in an interleaved fashion along the kY-axis. It has been demonstrated in our earlier works that SLINKY can suppress the SBA without any assumption of blood flow behavior, such as velocity or direction. At the same time, SLINKY keeps the same SNR as conventional multiple overlapping thin slab acquisition (MOTSA). Yet, this method is sensitive to any phase error along the ky axis. In our earlier application of SLINKY, we used navigator echoes to measure and correct the phase errors along the kY axis. The cost of using navigator echo collection is an increase in the imaging time. We therefore propose an improved SLINKY technique which does not use navigator echo collection for correcting phase errors, reducing the imaging time while keeping the same suppression of slab boundary artifacts. The present study demonstrates that by using a specifically designed RF pulse, the navigator echo collection can be avoided without incurring any extra ghosting or SNR reduction in the reconstructed images.

对Ka波段TM₀₂模式低磁场相对论返波管的结构特点、工作原理进行了介绍,详细分析了该器件以TM₀₂模工作的模式选择机制。通过粒子模拟,该器件在1 T引导磁场下获得了功率为493 MW、频率29.3 GHz的微波输出,工作模式及频率与理论设计相一致。随后,基于模拟中的结构参数开展了初步的实验研究,当二极管电压为580 kV、电流为3.56 kA、引导磁场1 T时,获得了功率286 MW、频率29.3 GHz、脉宽约10 ns的微波输出。实验获得的微波频率与数值模拟一致,但是微波功率与数值模拟结果有明显差异,并且微波脉冲后沿有明显的缩短,分析认为在低磁场下后端谐振腔链受到电子轰击是导致该问题的主要原因。     

Real time analysis of diffraction patterns, at extremely low light levels

By analyzing previous experiments with statistically independents photons, just one concerns the diffraction pattern; it was revealed with photographic technique. The present describes an experiment which produces a diffraction pattern at very low intensity radiation consisting of statistically independent photons. This pattern was revealed in real time by using image intensification. Several photodetection arrangements utilizing image intensifier tubes and image storage devices have been tested and the results presented. This study involved the evaluation of the error probability in photons overlap at any time. The linearity dependence between light intensity and bright pattern diffraction was verified.

Highly sensitive polymer photodetectors with a wide spectral response range

A series of highly sensitive polymer photodetectors(PPDs) was fabricated with P3HT100-x:PBDT-TS1x:PC71BM1 as the active layers, where x represents the PBDT-TS1 doping weight ratio in donors. The response range of PPDs can cover from the UV to near-infrared regions by adjusting the PBDT-TS1 doping weight ratio. The best external quantum efficiency(EQE) values of ternary PPDs with P3HT:PBDT-TS1:PC_(71)BM(50:50:1 wt/wt/wt) as the active layers reach 830%, 720%,and 330% under 390-, 625-, and 760-nm light illumination and-10 V bias, respectively. The large EQE values indicate that the photodetectors utilise photomultiplication(PM). The working mechanism of PM-type PPDs can be attributed to interfacial trap-assisted hole tunnelling injection from the external circuit under light illumination. The calculated optical field and photogenerated electron volume density in the active layers can well explain the EQE spectral shape as a function of the PBDT-TS1 doping weight ratio in donors.
