低串扰的多波长光纤光栅色散补偿器

分析了光纤光栅色散补偿系统中的串扰，并比较了几种常用的多波长光纤光栅色散补偿器的串扰特性，结合串联的窄带光纤光栅和取样光纤光栅的优点，提出一种抑制光纤光栅色散补偿系统串扰的方法.它通过在邻近信道间引入随机时延差，既能改善取样光纤光栅的线性串扰特性，又能抑制交叉相位调制效应和四波混频等非线性串扰.使用该方法可以得到具有低串扰的多波长光纤光栅色散补偿器.

Observation of carbon‐facilitated phase transformation of titanium dioxide forming mixed‐phase titania by confocal Raman microscopy

Confocal Raman microscopy, a relatively new and advanced technique, is found to be suitable for imaging the chemical morphology below the submicrometer scale. It has been employed to probe the phase transformation of carbon‐containing titania (TiO₂) nanopowder and titania thin film subjected to laser annealing. The observation of phase transformation from the anatase phase to the rutile phase at high laser power annealing is attributed to carbon inclusion inside or on the surface of titania. Upon annealing, carbon could react with the oxygen of titania and create oxygen vacancies favoring the transformation from the anatase to the rutile phase. This study provides evidence for the carbon‐assisted phase transformation for creating carbon‐containing mixed‐phase titanium dioxide by laser annealing. We explicitly focus on the presence of carbon in the phase transformation of TiO₂ using confocal Raman microscopy. In all of the investigated samples, mixed anatase/rutile phases with carbon specifically was found at the rutile site. X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy‐dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) studies have been performed in addition to Raman mapping to verify the mixed‐phase titania formation.

Analysis of confiscated fireworks using Raman spectroscopy assisted with SEM‐EDS and FTIR

A forensic analysis of several samples of pyrotechnic artefacts was performed by Raman spectroscopy assisted by scanning electron microscopy/energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (SEM‐EDS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis. Among the components, several nitrates, ammonium perchlorate, nitrocellulose, metallic titanium particles and shellac were detected. The combination of Raman spectroscopy and SEM‐EDS showed very useful performance. All components were detected by Raman spectroscopy except for shellac, kaolinite and titanium particles, which were not conclusive enough and had to be determined by FTIR and EDS. In contrast, many compounds were not detected by FTIR. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Nonlinear optics in spheres: from second harmonic scattering to quasi‐phase matched generation in whispering gallery modes

Over the last fifteen years, a series of theoretical and experimental investigations have demonstrated the usefulness of circular geometries to tailor second‐order nonlinear optical effects. However, until recently, such effects have remained rather weak, calling for their enhancement. In parallel, developments in the field of high quality factor spherical or ring resonators have shown that many different types of light‐matter interactions can be dramatically amplified when light is coupled in the whispering gallery modes of such resonators. In high‐quality spherical micro‐resonators, close to one million interactions can occur between a nonlinear molecule and a circulating light pulse. Recent research on nonlinear optics in spherical geometry is reviewed, from micrometer‐size spheres to whispering gallery mode resonators.

Pb-Mg-Al合金腐蚀机理的电子理论研究

为了了解Pb-Mg-Al合金腐蚀的物理本质, 本文采用基于第一性原理的赝势平面波方法系统地计算了Pb-Mg-Al合金中各物相的结合能、费米能级和局域态密度等电子结构参数, 分析了合金的电化学腐蚀机理. 计算结果表明：Pb-Mg-Al合金中各主要组成物相稳定性大小关系为 Mg₁₇Al₁₂>Mg₂Pb>Mg;Mg,Mg₂Pb和Mg₁₇Al₁₂的费米能级存在E_f(Mg)>E_f(Mg₂Pb)>E_f(Mg₁₇Al₁₂)的关系, 说明Mg最容易失去电子, Mg₂Pb次之, Mg₁₇Al₁₂最难;局域态密度表明, 在同样的外界条件下, 体系中Mg相和Mg₂Pb相对于Mg₁₇Al₁₂均处于不稳定的状态, 容易失去电子, 即容易发生腐蚀. Pb-Mg-Al合金体系中不同物相的费米能级差构成了电化学腐蚀的电动势, 导致电子从费米能级高的Mg相和Mg₂Pb相流向费米能级低的Mg₁₇Al₁₂相, 使Pb-Mg-Al合金发生腐蚀.

Lateral IBIC characterization of single crystal synthetic diamond detectors

In order to evaluate the charge collection efficiency (CCE) profile of single‐crystal diamond devices based on a p‐type/intrinsic/metal configuration, a lateral Ion Beam Induced Charge (IBIC) analysis was performed over their cleaved cross sections using a 2 MeV proton microbeam. CCE profiles in the depth direction were extracted from the cross‐sectional maps at variable bias voltage. IBIC spectra relevant to the depletion region extending beneath the frontal Schottky electrode show a 100% CCE, with a spectral resolution of about 1.5%. The dependence of the width of the high efficiency region from applied bias voltage allows the constant residual doping concentration of the active region to be evaluated. The region where the electric field is absent shows an exponentially decreasing CCE profile, from which it is possible to estimate the diffusion length of the minority carriers by means of a drift–diffusion model.
