Spectral study on feldspar thermoluminescence process

Feldspar thermoluminescence fading phenomena were investigated here by using newly-constructed thermoluminescence spectrometer on the basis of charge-coupled detector, and thereafter the discussion and explanation on feldspar TL fading mechanism were presented. The experimental results show that the fading rate of feldspar TL depends on both wavelength and stimulated temperature, and normally the feldspar TL in every region of wavelength and temperature shows different traits, namely the low temperature TL (170°–190°) fading at the rate of logarithmic function and furthermore the TL of different wavelengths fading at approximately the same rate on the condition of 160° preheating. While the medium and high temperature TLs (290°–400°) do not show much thermal fading, their fading rate at room temperature invariably correlates well with their wavelength, namely the longer TL wavelength, the slower TL fading rate. The thermal instability of traps and the quantum-mechanical tunneling effects can explain the above fading phenomena respectively. It is recognized that feldspar TL fading depends on its wavelength, and furthermore new aspects of the solid thermoluminescence process can be displayed by the combination of three-dimensional TL spectral analysis and thermal fading or anomalous fading of TL for feldspar.

The thermodynamics structural relaxation of Fe₇₃Cu_1.5Nd₃Si_13.5B₉ amorphous alloy from room temperature to 400°C has been investigated by measuring the structure factor with in situ X-ray diffraction. The structural information of the atomic configuration such as radial distribution function (RDF) and neighbor atomic distance was gained by Fourier transformation. The research result shows that the amorphous structure remains stable in the temperature range of 30 to 400°C but exhibits distinct changes in local atomic configuration with the increase of temperature. The quantitative determination of the neighbor atomic distance suggests that the degree of short-range order changes by the temperature altering the second nearest neighbor local atomic configuration of the amorphous when structural relaxation occurs.

Scalable preparation of three-atom and four-atom W states via atom-cavity-laser interaction

We propose the optical generation of W states for three atomic and four atomic qubits, with each qubit trapped in a separate cavity and coupled to the cavity laser. A single-photon source and two classical fields are employed in the present scheme. By encoding the quantum information of each qubit on the degenerate ground states of the atom, we obtain the atomic entanglement that is relatively stable against spontaneous emission. It is demonstrated that the three- and four-atomic W states can be produced deterministically via a proper manipulation of the atom-cavity interaction sequence and time. Generalization of the present scheme to prepare multi-atomic W states is also discussed.     

Feature tracking for projection registration in laboratory-scale reflective tomography laser radar imaging

In range-resolved reflective tomography laser radar imaging system, for accurate image reconstruction, all projections must be aligned to the center of target rotation. Due to the unknown location of the axis of rotation and random target translation, the center of target rotation in each projection cannot be measured accurately and images reconstructed based on range-resolved projections without registration would be dislocated. Here, we apply a feature tracking method to align projections data for tomographic reconstruction in laboratory-scale laser radar imaging. The target was placed on a spin table with an unknown and fixed axis, and the oscillatory motion of the target translation was simulated by a second order inertia filter to accord with the real satellites vibrations. The experimental simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of this method to improve images reconstruction equality. The application of this method to actual radar imaging in remote distance was discussed and the differences were compared with the lab setups.     

Image watermarking by using phase retrieval algorithm in gyrator transform domain

We propose an image watermarking scheme based on the phase retrieval algorithm in gyrator domain. The watermark is converted into a noise-like image by Arnold transform. The scrambled image is regarded as the amplitude of gyrator spectrum. The Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm is employed to obtain the unknown phase function in gyrator pair, in which the host image is the amplitude of input function. The phase information and the parameters of the two transforms serve as the key of watermarking algorithm. The numerical simulation has demonstrated the performance of the proposed algorithm.
