Broadly tunable dual-wavelength light source for coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy

The signal and idler beams from a picosecond, synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillator (OPO) provide the two colors necessary for coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy. The OPO provides a continuously tunable frequency difference between the two beams over a broad range of Raman shifts (100-3700 cm(-1)) by varying the temperature of a single nonlinear crystal. The near-infrared output (900-1300 nm) allows for deep penetration into thick samples and reduced nonlinear photodamage. Applications of this light source to in vivo cell and ex vivo tissue imaging are demonstrated.

α稳定噪声下一类周期势系统的振动共振

将多个低频微弱信号、高频信号和加性α稳定噪声共同激励的一类周期势系统作为研究模型,以平均信噪比增益(MSNRI)为性能指标,对α稳定噪声环境下周期势系统中的振动共振现象进行了研究,分别探究了α稳定噪声的特征参数α、对称参数β、加性噪声强度放大系数D、高频信号幅值B以及频率?对振动共振输出效应的影响.研究结果表明:1)在不同分布的α稳定噪声环境下,固定频率?(或幅值B),当幅值B(或频率?)逐渐增大时,MSNRI-B(或MSNRI-?)曲线出现多个峰值,即存在多个B区间(或?区间)可诱导振动共振,并且这些区间不会随噪声分布参数α或β的变化而变化;2)当加性噪声强度放大系数D发生变化时,幅值B和频率?的共振区间没有随着D的变化而变化,表明只有高频信号能量向待测低频信号转移,噪声能量并没有向待测低频信号转移.另外当幅值B、频率?固定时,随着D的逐渐增大,依然可以实现微弱信号的检测,表明振动共振可以克服工业现场噪声强度不可调控的缺点.本文研究结果提供了一种新的微弱信号检测方法,在信号处理领域有着潜在的应用价值.

Measuring causality by taking the directional symbolic mutual information approach

We propose a novel measure to assess causality through the comparison of symbolic mutual information between the future of one random quantity and the past of the other.This provides a new perspective that is different from the conventional conceptions.Based on this point of view,a new causality index is derived that uses the definition of directional symbolic mutual information.This measure presents properties that are different from the time delayed mutual information since the symbolization captures the dynamic features of the analyzed time series.In addition to characterizing the direction and the amplitude of the information flow,it can also detect coupling delays.This method has the property of robustness,conceptual simplicity,and fast computational speed.     

The quantum nonthermal radiation and horizon surface gravity of an arbitrarily accelerating black hole with electric charge and magnetic charge

Using a new tortoise coordinate transformation,we discuss the quantum nonthermal radiation characteristics near an event horizon by studying the Hamilton-Jacobi equation of a scalar particle in curved space-time,and obtain the event horizon surface gravity and the Hawking temperature on that event horizon.The results show that there is a crossing of particle energy near the event horizon.We derive the maximum overlap of the positive and negative energy levels.It is also found that the Hawking temperature of a black hole depends not only on the time,but also on the angle.There is a problem of dimension in the usual tortoise coordinate,so the present results obtained by using a correct-dimension new tortoise coordinate transformation may be more reasonable.     

相对论速调管中间腔与调制电子束间的非线性互作用

在强流相对论电子束驱动的相对论速调管放大器中, 由于强流和高场强的影响, 尤其是中间腔具有高Q值, 微波腔与电子束之间的非线性作用很明显, 严重影响器件性能. 根据麦克斯韦方程组以及电子在微波场作用下运动方程给出了中间腔的束-波互作用自洽方程. 从这些方程出发, 研究了调制深度和调制频率对间隙电压幅度和相位的影响. 对比常规速调管的等效电路模型, 自洽公式给出的间隙电压幅值同粒子模拟结果更接近, 尤其是较高调制深度的情况. 同时器件带宽随调制深度的增加而变宽, 这也同粒子模拟结果一致. 由此设计了一个S波段高增益相对论放大器, 在LTD (长脉冲螺旋线)加速器上开展了相应的实验工作, 实验上获得了1.1 GW的输出功率, 器件增益49 dB. 关键词： 相对论速调管 非线性互作用 自洽方程

Pigment identification and decoration analysis of a 5th century Chinese lacquer painting screen: a micro‐Raman and FTIR study

To investigate the pigments and decoration applied to a wood‐based lacquer painting screen from the tomb of Si‐ma Jin‐long, Shanxi Province, central China, made by Chinese craftsmen in the 5th century, a combination of micro‐Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), wavelength dispersive X‐ray fluorescence (WDXRF), and microscopic examination was used. The obtained results are as follows: (1) the black, yellow, and red colors are identified as carbon black, orpiment and realgar, and cinnabar, respectively, by using micro‐Raman spectroscopy. The FTIR result shows that the white pigment filled in the leaves is not lead white, as assumed in the literature, but gypsum. Whether lead white was used at other locations remains unanswered and requires more samples for further work; (2) the thickness of each discernable pigment layer, as observed under the microscope, is approximately equal and the differences among them are small, suggesting a superfine painting skill; besides, a noticeable smooth interface between wood and the red grounding substance indicates that a polishing process might have been applied before the painting; (3) the red background was proved to contain cinnabar, but further FTIR analyses found no evidence for the presence of Chinese wood oil; and (4) the most interesting finding, rarely reported before, is that white grains of different sizes are found in both pigment layers and the grounding substance, which are perhaps an intentional addition. Further, in situ XRF and Raman analyses indicate that they are sourced from hydroxyapatite, coming probably from the intentional addition of animal bone ash to the lacquer. But how such a process could be finished and what purpose it served have not yet been answered. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
