1 J/pulse Q-switched 2 microm solid-state laser

Q-switched output of 1.1 J/pulse at a 2.053 microm wavelength has been achieved in a diode-pumped Ho: Tm: LuLF laser with a side-pumped rod configuration in a master-oscillator-power-amplifier (MOPA) architecture. This is the first time to our knowledge that a 2 microm laser has broken the joule per pulse barrier for Q-switched operation. The total system efficiency reaches 5% and 6.2% for single- and double-pulse operation, respectively. The system produces an excellent 1.4 times transform-limited beam quality.     

宽绝对禁带的一维磁性光子晶体结构

提出了一种具有宽绝对禁带的一维磁性光子晶体结构,该结构由相同的折射率和物理厚度以及不同的波阻抗的两种磁性材料交替组合而成.通过传输矩阵法分析可得,相比于非磁性光子晶体,该光子晶体的禁带对入射角和偏振都不敏感,从而具有更宽的绝对禁带.合适地调节两种磁性材料的参数,增加两者波阻抗的差值,该光子晶体的绝对禁带宽度也相应地增加;调节两种磁性材料的物理厚度,其绝对禁带中心也会随之调整;最后,将两个满足上述条件的一维磁性光子晶体组成异质结构,其第一禁带宽度与禁带中心之间的比值可达到1.41以上.     

自适应非凸稀疏正则化下自适应光学系统加性噪声的去除

自适应光学系统可以实时测量并校正波前信息,但是系统中大量的噪声严重影响了系统的探测精度.自适应光学系统中一般为加性噪声,本文提出一种全新的变分处理模型去除加性噪声,该模型采用自适应非凸正则项.非凸正则项在保持图像细节上较凸正则项具有更好的效果,能更好地保持点源目标的完整性.另外,根据不同区域的噪声水平自适应地构建正则化参数,使不同区域的像素点受到不同程度的噪声抑制,可以更好地保持目标的边缘细节.在算法实现上,为了解决非凸正则项收敛性较差的缺陷,采用分裂Bregman算法及增广拉格朗日对偶算法进行计算.实验及数值仿真结果都表明,该方法能够较好地去除系统中的加性噪声,且光斑信号保存得较为完整,处理后的质心探测精度及信噪比较高.     

Novel Fluorometric Turn On Detection of Aluminum by Chalcone-Based Chemosensor in Aqueous Phase

A novel, 100% water-soluble chalcone based chemosensing receptor {1-[3-(2-Hydroxy-phenyl)-3-oxo-propenyl]-naphthalen-2-yloxy}-acetic acid, L was synthesized and characterized. The receptor L is designed based on the chelation enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) mechanism. The chemosensing properties of L were evaluated by UV–vis and fluorescence spectrometric methods. It exhibits highly selective recognition ability towards aluminum ions in water over other metal ions. The binding stoichiometry of L? Al³⁺ complex is 2:1 by means of Job’s plot and the detection limit is 5.66?×?10^??8 M.     

Optimization of Diode-Pumped Continuous-Wave Tape-Casting YAG/Nd:YAG/YAG-Ceramic Lasers

We demonstrate a diode-laser-pumped solid-state 1.06 μm laser using a novel YAG/Nd:YAG/YAG composite ceramics with a sandwich structure. We optimize the laser performance using different output couplers, pumping beam waists, and cavity lengths. A maximum CW output power of 11 W for the YAG/Nd:YAG/YAG-ceramic laser is obtained at an absorbed pump power of 25 W resulting in a slope efficiency of 49.4%. The excellent output performance shows that the novel YAG/Nd:YAG/YAGceramic material has a great potential in applications with diode-laser pumping.     

Hydrothermal synthesis of graphene oxide/multiwalled carbon nanotube/Fe<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript> ternary nanocomposite for removal of Cu (II) and methylene blue

In this work, highly activated graphene oxide/multiwalled carbon nanotube/Fe₃O₄ ternary nanocomposite adsorbent was prepared from a simple hydrothermal route by using ferrous sulfate as precursor. For this purpose, the graphene oxide/multiwalled carbon nanotube architectures were formed through the π-π attractions between them, followed by attaching Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles onto their surface. The structure and composition of as-prepared ternary nanocomposite were characterized by XRD, FTIR, XPS, SEM, TEM, Raman, TGA, and BET. It was found that the resultant porous graphene oxide/multiwalled carbon nanotube/Fe₃O₄ ternary nanocomposite with large surface area could effectively prevent the π-π stacking interactions between graphene oxide nanosheets and greatly improve sorption sites on the surfaces. Thus, owing to the unique ternary nanocomposite architecture and synergistic effect among various components, as-prepared ternary nanocomposite exhibited high separation efficiency when they were used to remove the Cu (II) and methylene blue from aqueous solutions. Furthermore, the adsorption isotherms of ternary nanocomposite structures for Cu (II) and methylene blue removal fitted the Langmuir isotherm model. This work demonstrated that the graphene oxide/multiwalled carbon nanotube/Fe₃O₄ ternary nanocomposite was promising as an efficient adsorbent for heavy metal ions and organic dye removal from wastewater in low concentration.
