The comparison of ZnO nanowire detectors working under two wavelengths of ultraviolet

Schottky-barrier ultraviolet (UV) detectors based on ZnO-nanowires (NWs) were fabricated with Pt as electrodes in this investigation. The ZnO NWs synthesized by the hydrothermal method were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Raman and PL spectroscopy. Photoelectric properties under 254 and 365 nm UV light were investigated. It is found that the photo-response properties of the devices under 365 nm UV light are better than those under 254 nm UV light, which is further illustrated by light transmission theory, energy-band diagram and absorption spectra. The results demonstrate that ZnO NWs detectors with selectivity to near-UV (NUV) light are promising candidates in photoelectric devices.     

Passive picosecond and femtosecond mode-locking laser action of Yb<Superscript>3+</Superscript>:LuYSiO<Subscript>5</Subscript>

Efficient passive mode locking of a diode-pumped Yb³⁺:LuYSiO₅ (Yb:LYSO) laser is first demonstrated in experiment using a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM), to the best of our knowledge. A stable pulse train with a repetition rate of 101 MHz is generated. The average output power of 2.13 W and the pulse duration of 3.9 ps. With a pair of SF10 uncoated prisms for dispersion compensation, we obtained pulses as short as 780 fs with center wavelength around 1042 nm, the average output power of 1.03 W and the peak power of 13.1 kW.     

Temperature or strain induced adjustable-chirp characteristics of uniform fibre grating with tapered metal coating

Temperature and strain characteristics of uniform fibre grating with tapered metal coatings have been analysed theoretically, by which adjustable chirp characteristics of such gratings are shown. Electroplating is adopted to fabricate such gratings, and the tapered metal coating is obtained by gradually drawing the fibre grating out of the solution during the process of electroplating. The gradually changing cross-sectional area of the metal coating is calculated by a newly suggested numerical method. By combining the theoretical and numerical simulation analyses, the gratings' characteristics are given at various temperatures and strains. The results obtained using such a method are also testified by experiments.     

Comparison of microbiological loads and physicochemical properties of raw milk treated with single-/multiple-cycle high hydrostatic pressure and ultraviolet-C light

The effects of ultraviolet-C radiation (UV-C, 11.8?W/m²), single-cycle and multiple-cycle high hydrostatic pressure (HHP at 200, 400 or 600?MPa) on microbial load and physicochemical quality of raw milk were evaluated. Reductions of aerobic plate count (APC) and coliform count (CC) by HHP were more than 99.9% and 98.7%, respectively. Inactivation efficiency of microorganisms increased with pressure level. At the same pressure level, two-cycle treatments caused lower APC, but did not show CC differences compared with single-cycle treatments. Reductions of APC and CC by UV-C were somewhere between 200?MPa and 400/600?MPa. Both HHP and UV-C significantly decreased lightness and increased pH, but did not change soluble solids content and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances’ values. Two 2.5?min cycles of HHP at 600?MPa caused minimum APC and CC, and maximum conductivity. Compared with HHP, UV-C markedly increased protein oxidation and reduced darkening.

多通道磁共振成像方法采用多个接收线圈同时欠采样k空间以加快成像速度,并基于后处理算法重建图像,但在较高加速因子时,其图像重建质量仍然较差．本文提出了一种基于PCAU-Net的快速多通道磁共振成像方法,将单通道实数U型卷积神经网络拓展到多通道复数卷积神经网络,设计了一种结构不对称的U型网络结构,通过在解码部分减小网络规模以降低模型的复杂度．PCAU-Net网络在跳跃连接前增加了1×1卷积,以实现跨通道信息交互．输入和输出之间利用残差连接为误差的反向传播提供捷径．实验结果表明,使用规则和随机采样模板,在不同加速因子时,相比常规的GRAPPA重建算法和SPIRiT重建方法,本文提出的PCAU-Net方法可高质量重建出磁共振复数图像,并且相比于PCU-Net方法,PCAU-Net减少了模型参数、缩短了训练时间．     

Investigation on push-pull polymer Mach-Zehnder interferometer electro-optic switches using improved 3-D mode propagation analysis method

By introducing normalized mode excitation coefficient and total mode excitation coefficient, we improve the 3-D mode propagation analysis (MPA) method for convenient design and analysis of multimode interference (MMI) coupler. With the improved 3-D MPA method and point-matching method, we present a novel formulation technique to analyze the low- and high-frequency characteristics for the impedance-matched polymer Mach-Zehnder interferometer electro-optic (EO) switch based on MMI couplers. As an application, under 1550 nm, optimization and simulation performed for the designed device reveal low driving voltage of 1.375 V with short EO region length of 5 mm. The insertion loss and extinction ratio are less than 3.75 dB and more than 42 dB, respectively. The microwave characteristic impedance is about 49.6 Ω, and due to the less mismatch between lightwave velocity and microwave velocity, the estimated cutoff switching frequency is up to 263 GHz with the 10–90% rise time and fall time about 1.90 ps under the operation of step-style square-wave switching signal. This theoretical cutoff switching frequency is almost 1.53 times of that of our previous reported shielded EO switch with similar design technique.
