Investigation on the scattering effect of ceramic Nd:YAG

This paper investigates the scattering effect of domestic 0.5 at{\%} ceramic Nd:YAG. An effective method has been utilized to measure the scattering and absorption coefficients. An end-pumped continuous wave (CW) Nd:YAG ceramic laser was also demonstrated. A maximum output power of 6.7~W at 1064~nm was obtained at an 808-nm pump power of 32.9~W. Conversion efficiency and slope efficiency have been achieved. This indicates that scattering has an important effect on the optical performance of ceramic Nd:YAG.     

不同光聚焦状态的光击穿声辐射特性

强激光通过光学系统聚焦于水下时,击穿水介质辐射强声波信号.光学聚焦特性的不同,使得激光击穿区域形状的差异,导致辐射的声信号在强度、频谱特征上具有较大的差异性.为研究不同光聚焦状态对激光击穿形成的空泡辐射声波的影响,推导了不同聚焦状态下激光空泡壁的运动方程及声辐射模型,构建了激光声实验测量系统,实验研究了不同聚焦状态下光击穿导致的空泡脉动参数、辐射声信号特征的差异性.结论:激光声信号强度与激光能量成线性关系,在激光能量高于一定参数情况下,声信号强度变化不大;在低激光功率下,扩束聚焦与非扩束聚焦,辐射的声信号特性差异不大;在高激光功率条件,扩束聚焦击穿形成的空泡半径大于非扩束聚焦击穿,辐射的声信号强度高于非扩束聚焦;为提高激光击穿辐射卢信号效率,应对激光束进行扩束聚焦.     

通道调制型偏振成像系统的偏振参量重建

通道调制型偏振成像系统中,焦平面上获取的信息需要通过目标偏振参量的重建才能有效提取,因而重建是目标识别、材料分析、生物医疗等技术进一步应用的前提.为了实现在非理想情况下通道调制型偏振成像系统的偏振参量精确重建,需要解决成像系统中电荷耦合器件(CCD)采样频率与频谱位置偏移对重建的影响.本文首先详细分析了频谱不发生混叠的条件:CCD采样频率应至少为4倍基频;在偏振干涉频谱位置偏移时,使用最大频谱法确定各个偏振态的载波频率,通过频移、滤波和傅里叶变换获得目标的偏振重建二维图像;最后通过计算机模拟仿真与实验分析结合的方法验证该重建方案的可行性与有效性.模拟与实验结果表明:改进后的偏振重建法得到的偏振图像与原始输入图像的均方差在0.001以下,峰值信噪比有明显的提高,且结构相似度可达到0.9以上,表明该方法获得的二维偏振态重建图像精度高,与理论偏振解调法相比具有很大的优越性.该工作希望为后续偏振探测与分析进一步的研究提供参考.

Synthesis of SnO_2 nanorods from aqueous solution:The effect of preparation conditions on the formed patterns

<正>SnO_2 nanorods were deposited on the Si substrates in an aqueous solution containing both SnCl_4 and CO(NH_2)_2.It is found that different self-assembled patterns of SnO_2 nanorods can be obtained by changing the deposition conditions such as the molar ratio of CO(NH_2)_2 to SnCl_4 and the pretreatment of the substrate.Scattered SnO_2 nanorods,for example,can be changed into flower-like patterns when the molar ratio of CO(NH_2)_2 to SnCl_4 is raised,and well-aligned nanorod arrays can be formed when the pretreatment of the substrate is changed.In addition,some interesting patterns,e.g.tree-like patterns,can also be observed.     

Aqueous C-S cross-coupling: synthesis of 2-iminobenzo-1,3-oxathioles via CuCl2·H2O-catalyzed tandem reaction of 2-iodophenols with isothiocyanates

A CuCl₂·H₂O-catalyzed tandem reaction of 2-iodophenol with isothiocyanate in water is described, which provides an environmentally benign, efficient, and practical route for the generation of 2-iminobenzo-1,3-oxathiole. It was noteworthy that most of the products were easily separated from the reaction system by simple filtration.     

Optical biosensor with dispersion compensation

Dispersion limits performance in many optical systems. In surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors, the sensing area is an optical element in which the dispersion depends on the effective refractive index of the biochemical compounds to be measured. We report a method of compensating for wavelength dispersion in SPR biosensors employing two integrated diffractive optical coupling elements in a polymer substrate. The dispersion compensation is achieved over the whole dynamic measurement range and provides a biosensor more robust to wavelength fluctuations than prism-coupler SPR systems. The concept can readily be employed in other types of sensor measuring refractive-index changes.     

Simultaneous Packing and Covering in Three-Dimensional Euclidean Space

It is proved that the simultaneous lattice packing and latticecovering constant of every three-dimensional centrally symmetricconvex body is less than or equal to 7/4. Consequently, forany three-dimensional convex body K there is a correspondinglattice packing in which no extra translate of K can be added.
