Surface profile measurement of moving objects by using an improved π phase-shifting Fourier transform profilometry

The π phase-shifting Fourier transform technique is introduced into the surface profile measurement of moving objects. A digital grating comprising two regions, which have a π phase shifting is projected onto the object. Two line-scan CCD cameras are used to capture two deformed fringe patterns with π phase shifting at the same time. As the object is moving, each point at the object surface can be captured twice. The digital correlation method is used to calibrate the experimental system. The zero-order component can be eliminated by subtracting intensities of the same surface point in two captured images. And then the phase can be extracted by Fourier transform without the disturbance of zero-order component. Experimental results demonstrate that this method is feasible for the moving surface profile detection and the measurable slope of height variation can be extended.     

The investigation of electrochemical properties and ionic motion of functionalized copolymer electrolytes based on polysiloxane

The effect of EO side chain functionalization on the transport and electrochemical properties of polysiloxane electrolytes has been examined in this report. First, a study of the electrochemical stability of the electrolytes by linear sweep voltammetry shows that the polymer electrolytes have a negligible effect on the electrolyte stability windows. In addition, the parameters of cation mobility in polysiloxane electrolytes, such as ionic transference numbers and diffusion coefficients, were increased by increasing the lengths of the EO side chain. However, cation mobility in polymer structures is quite different compared to liquid-based systems and is probably suppressed, resulting in their polymer structure. Therefore, Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy (PALS) was used to study the relationship between orthopositronium (o-Ps) lifetime, free volume radius, free volume of micro voids and EO side chain affection at different temperatures. Finally, a battery application with LiCoO₂ and LiFePO₄/polymer electrolyte/lithium metal electrode was monitored for its potential use in the future.     

Spin-glass like behaviors in La<Subscript>1−<Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript>Tb<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript>MnO<Subscript>3</Subscript> perovskite

A series of samples of La_1−x Tb _x MnO₃ (0⩽x⩽0.15) are prepared. The static and dynamic magnetizations of La_1−x Tb _x MnO₃ have been investigated. The results indicate that the spins with the short-range order are frozen into random direction at low enough temperatures which leads to the samples exhibiting the spin-glass like behavior. It is considered that the spin-glass like behavior originates from the competition between ferromagnetic double exchange among Mn³⁺ and Mn²⁺ and antiferromagnetic superexchange among Mn³⁺ and Mn³⁺, as well as Tb³⁺ and Tb³⁺.     

Speckle suppression and contrast enhancement in reconstruction of freehand 3D ultrasound images using an adaptive distance-weighted method

In three-dimensional (3D) freehand ultrasound (US), reconstructing a set of B-scans into a regular voxel array is the key procedure for consequent visualization and analysis. This paper presents a new adaptive interpolation algorithm for computing the voxel array to suppress speckle noises and enhance contrast. The local statistics of homogeneous regions including mean and variance were measured and the ratio of variance to mean was used as homogeneity criteria. For the computation of each voxel, the interpolation method was adaptively determined with respect to its local statistics. If the neighbouring pixels of a voxel satisfied the homogeneity criterion, its value was computed with an arithmetic mean filter. Otherwise, the voxel was probably locating in an inhomogeneous region and an adaptive distance-weighted (ADW) interpolation method was employed to compute its value. A resolution phantom and a subject’s forearm were reconstructed using the proposed algorithm and two other well-known methods - conventional distance-weighted (DW) and voxel nearest neighbourhood (VNN) interpolations. The comparison results demonstrated that the adaptive interpolation algorithm was able to suppress speckles, preserve edges and enhance contrast effectively for the volume reconstruction.

Multi-wavelength fiber ring laser based on a chirped moire fiber grating and a semiconductor optical amplifier

A simple and cost-effective multi-wavelength fiber ring laser based on a chirped Moire fiber grating （CMFG） and a semiconductor optical amplifier （SOA） is proposed. Stable triple-wavelength lasing oscillations at room temperature are experimentally demonstrated. The measured optical signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） reaches the highest value of 50 dB and the power fluctuation of each wavelength is less than 0.2 dB within a 1-h period. To serve as a wavelength selective element, the CMFG possesses excellent comb-like filtering characteristics including stable wavelength interval and ultra-narrow passband, and its fabrication method is easy and flexible. The lasing oscillation shows a narrower bandwidth than SOA-based multi-wavelength fiber lasers utilizing some other kinds of wavelength selective components. Methods to optimize the laser performance are also discussed.
