Enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-gigantecin: exploiting the asymmetric glycolate aldol reaction

The enantioselective synthesis of the potent, selective, cytotoxic, annonaceous acetogenin, (+)-gigantecin, has been completed. An asymmetric glycolate aldol serves to establish the stereocenters at C13,14 and at C21,22. A Carreira asymmetric acetylide addition is used to establish the C17 stereocenter.     

Internal mode of incoherent photovoltaic vector solitons

The internal modes of incoherent vector solitons (IVSs) in photovoltaic photorefractive materials are investigated in the framework of coupled nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equations. It is found that there is a pair of internal modes corresponding to a bright--bright IVS. The propagation dynamics of the bright-bright IVS perturbed by the internal modes is simulated by numerical method.     

Improvement of all-optical switching effect based on azobenzene-containing polymer films

A method for improving the quality of all-optical switching is presented. Pumping poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) films doped with azobenzene chromophore Disperse Red 1 (DR1) with two beams (a linearly and a circularly polarized), all-optical switching effects with very low background and high stability are demonstrated. High frequency switching, which is hard to be realized under pump of a single beam, is obtained. The circularly polarized pump beam can erase the photoinduced birefringence and quicken the relaxation process, thus lowering the background and improving the stability and the extinction ratio of the switching signal.

Characteristics analysis of metal-clad and absorptive dielectric waveguides by a simple and accurate perturbation method

We present a simple and accurate method for characteristic analysis of metal-clad dielectric waveguides and absorptive waveguides. The real partN of the complex modal indexN=N + iN is obtained by solving the corresponding real eigenvalue equation, and the imaginary partN is given by (n/), where= + i is the complex dielectric constant of the absorptive layer, and N/ is obtained by numerical differentiation. The method is straightforward, and the cumbersome solution of complex transcendental equations is completely eliminated. Results for simple structures are in good agreement with those obtained by exact analysis.     

Analysis of rectangular-core waveguide structures and directional couplers by an iterated moment method

Using an iterated moment method (weighted index method), formulae are derived for the accurate calculation of the dispersion characteristics and field distributions of guided modes in strip dielectric waveguides and strip-loaded waveguides, and for the calculation of the coupling length of rectangular-core dual-channel directional couplers. The formulae are simple and the results obtained by the present analysis agree well with computer-aided exact numerical analysis. This method can be readily extended to the analysis of other dielectric waveguide structures.

Electrically controlled transfer of spin angular momentum of light in an optically active medium

Spin is an intrinsic property of the photon. A method for using an externally applied dc electric field to manipulate the transfer of spin angular momentum of light in an optically active medium is presented. To discuss this, we first develop a wave coupling theory of the mutual action of natural optical activity and the linear electro-optic effect. Besides being used for analyzing the electrically controlled transfer of spin angular momentum of light, the theory can also be used to describe the propagation of light traveling along an arbitrary direction in any optically active medium with an external dc electric field along an arbitrary direction.

增强UV-B辐射、NaCl胁迫及其复合处理对小麦幼苗光合作用及黄酮代谢的影响

依据增强UV-B辐射、NaCl胁迫及其复合处理不同天数，分别测定各处理小麦幼苗第一片真叶的净光合速率、气孔导度、叶肉细胞间隙二氧化碳浓度、叶绿素含量、黄酮含量和苯丙氨酸裂解酶活性.发现NaCl胁迫和增强UV-B辐射均明显降低小麦幼苗的净光合速率、气孔导度和叶肉细胞间隙CO2浓度;和NaCl胁迫相较， NaCl+UV-B辐射对小麦幼苗上述指标无进一步降低效应.增强UV-B辐射、NaCl胁迫及其复合处理均促进苯丙氨酸裂解酶活性和黄酮含量提高.说明了增强UV-B辐射降低小麦幼苗净光合速率的主要原因是气孔限制，而NaCl胁迫减轻了增强UV-B辐射对小麦幼苗光合作用的降低效应.
