Efficient Quantum Dot Light-Emitting Diodes Based on Well-Type Thick-Shell CdxZn1−xS/CdSe/CdyZn1−yS Quantum Dots

Device grade quantum dots (QDs) require QDs ensembles to retain their original superior optical properties as in solution. QDs with thick shells are proven effective in suppressing the inter-dot interaction and preserving the emission properties for QDs solids. However, lattice strain–induced defects may form as the shell grows thicker, resulting in a notable photoluminescence quenching. Herein, a well-type Cd_xZn_1−xS/CdSe/Cd_yZn_1−yS QDs is proposed, where ternary alloys CdZnS are adopted to match the lattice parameter of intermediate CdSe by separately adjusting the x and y parameters. The resultant thick-shell Cd_0.5Zn_0.5S/CdSe/Cd_0.73Zn_0.27S QDs reveal nonblinking properties with a high PL QY of 99% in solution and 87% in film. The optimized quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) exhibit a luminance of 31547.5 cd m⁻² at the external quantum efficiency maximum of 21.2% under a bias of 4.0 V. The shell thickness shows great impact on the degradation of the devices. The T₅₀ lifetime of the QLEDs with 11.2 nm QDs reaches 251 493 h, which is much higher than that of 6.5 and 8.4 nm QDs counterparts. The performances of the well-type thick-shell QLEDs are comparable to state-of-the-art devices, suggesting that this type of QDs is a promising candidate for efficient optoelectronic devices.     

高压下β-InSe弹性常数、电子结构的第一性原理研究

基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算方法,本文研究了高压对β-InSe弹性常数、机械性能和电子结构的影响.在0～20 GPa范围内,随着压力的增大,β-InSe的晶格常数、晶胞体积逐渐减小,结构参数a/a_0、c/c_0、V/V_0单调减小.在0～12 GPa范围内,弹性模量G、E、B和泊松比v随着压力增大而增大,在16 GPa时大幅减小,G、E、B分别减小了34.9%、53.3%、82.9%.随着压力增大,Se-In和In-In原子之间的电荷密度增大,Se-In原子之间的共价键增强,层间距减小.而且,β-InSe在20 GPa时带隙消失,发生了半导体向半金属的相变.     

多路Marx并联高压脉冲电源研究

脉冲功率技术在工业和生物医学领域有着广泛的应用,很多应用场合要求输出数百安培的高压脉冲。固态Marx发生器虽已研究多年,但是被广泛采用直插封装的IGBT和MOSFET功率半导体开关管的额定电流通常都低于100 A,无法满足低阻抗负载的应用需求。为提高输出脉冲电流幅值,提出两种多路Marx发生器并联的脉冲电源的拓扑结构,第一种方案采用多路Marx发生器直接并联,第二种是共用一组充电开关管的多路Marx发生器并联。由FPGA提供充放电控制信号,采用串芯磁环隔离驱动方案实现带负压偏置的同步驱动,主电路选用开通速度快、通流能力强的IGBT为主开关的半桥式固态方波Marx电路。实验结果表明,6路16级Marx直接并联的脉冲发生器能输出重频100 Hz高压方波脉冲幅值可达10 kV,在30Ω负载侧输出峰值电流可达300 A,上升时间230 ns。共用充电开关管的6路4级Marx并联发生器在5Ω电阻负载上的输出电流峰值可达300 A,最大输出电流可达460 A,上升时间272 ns。表明多路Marx发生器并联可以有效地减小系统内阻,提高系统带载能力;改进后的并联方案实现大电流脉冲输出的同时,所采用的开关管数量减小近一半,提高了系统的抗干扰能力的同时,降低了脉冲电源的成本;且增加级间并联导线可进一步改善均流效果。

Harmonically pump a femtosecond optical parametric oscillator to 1.13 GHz by a femtosecond 515 nm laser

We demonstrate a harmonically pumped femtosecond optical parametric oscillator(OPO)laser using a frequency-doubled mode-locked Yb:KGW laser at a repetition rate of 75.5 MHz as the pump laser.Based on a bismuth borate nonlinear crystal,repetition rates up to 1.13 GHz are realized,which is 15 times that of the pump laser.The signal wavelength is tunable from 700 nm to 887 nm.The maximum power of the signal is 207 m W at the central wavelength of 750 nm and the shortest pulse duration is 117 fs at 780 nm.The beam quality(M^2 factor)in the horizontal and vertical directions of the output beam are 1.077 and 1.141,respectively.     

Highly efficient excitation of LP_(01) mode in ring-core fibers by tapering for optimizing OAM generation

We have demonstrated the highly efficient excitation of the linearly polarized mode(LP01)in ring-core fibers(RCFs)by tapering the spliced point between the RCF and the standard single-mode fiber(SMF)to optimize all-fiber orbital angular momentum(OAM)generation.The tapering technique has been investigated theoretically and experimentally.Before tapering,only 50%of light can be coupled from SMFs to RCFs.The modal interference spectrum with an extinction ratio(ER)of～9 dB is observed,showing that higher-order modes are excited in RCF.By tapering the spliced point,90%of light is coupled,and the ER is minimized to be～2 dB,indicating that the higher-order modes are effectively suppressed by tapering.Such tapered spliced points of RCF–SMF are further applied for all-fiber OAM generation.The efficiencies of OAM+1 and OAM?1 generation are found to be enhanced by approximately 11.66%and 12.41%,respectively,showing that the tapered spliced point of the RCF–SMF is a feasible way to optimize OAM generation.     

Polarization in D-shaped fiber modulated by magneto-optical dichroism of magnetic fluid

The polarization of a D-shaped fiber is modulated after immersing it in magnetic fluid(MF)and applying a magnetic field.Theoretical analysis predicts that magneto-optical dichroism of MF plays a key role in light polarization modulation.During light polarization modulation,the evanescent wave polarized parallel to the magnetic field has greater loss than its orthogonal component.Light polarization of a D-shaped fiber with a wide polished surface can be modulated easily.High concentration MF and a large magnetic field all have great ability to modulate light polarization.     

Controllably asymmetric beam splitting via gap-induced diffraction channel transition in dual-layer binary metagratings

In this work, we designed and studied a feasible dual-layer binary metagrating, which can realize controllable asymmetric transmission and beam splitting with nearly perfect performance. Owing to ingenious geometry configuration, only one meta-atom is required to design for the metagrating system. By simply controlling air gap between dual-layer metagratings, high-efficiency beam splitting can be well switched from asymmetric transmission to symmetric transmission. The working principle lies on gap-induced diffraction channel transition for incident waves from opposite directions. The asymmetric/symmetric transmission can work in a certain frequency band and a wide incident range. Compared with previous methods using acoustic metasurfaces, our approach has the advantages of simple design and tunable property and shows promise for applications in wavefront manipulation, noise control and one-way propagation.
