Optical fiber humidity sensor based on evanescent-wave scattering

The phenomenon of evanescent-wave scattering (EWS) is used to design an optical-fiber humidity sensor. Porous solgel silica (PSGS) coated on the surface of a silica optical-fiber core scatters evanescent waves that penetrate the coating layer. Water molecules in the gas phase surrounding the optical fiber can be absorbed into the inner surface of the pores of the porous silica. The absorbed water molecules form a thin layer of liquid water on the inner surface of the porous silica and enhance the EWS. The amount of water absorbed into the PSGS coating is in dynamic equilibrium with the water-vapor pressure in the gas phase. Therefore the humidity in the air can be quantitatively determined with fiber-optic EWS caused by the PSGS coating. The humidity sensor reported here is fast in response, reversible, and has a wide dynamic range. The possible interference caused by EWS to an optical-fiber gas sensor with a reagent-doped PSGS coating as a transducer is also discussed.     

Pulsed laser deposition of PZT/Pt composite thin films with high dielectric constants

PbZr_0.53Ti_0.47O₃ (PZT) thin films containing nanoparticles of Pt (3–10 nm) were produced using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The Pt content can be tuned by varying the energy density of the laser beam. Phase and microstructure analysis of the thin films was performed using XRD, SEM, TEM and AFM. The electrical properties were investigated by C–V and I–V measurements. The effective dielectric constant of the composite films increased substantially through the Pt dispersion. These films are promising candidates, for instance, for high-density dynamic random access memory (DRAM) devices. PACS 77.22.Ch; 77.84.Lf; 81.15.Fg     

Experimental long-distance decoy-state quantum key distribution based on polarization encoding

We demonstrate the decoy-state quantum key distribution (QKD) with one-way quantum communication in polarization space over 102 km. Further, we simplify the experimental setup and use only one detector to implement the one-way decoy-state QKD over 75 km, with the advantage to overcome the security loopholes due to the efficiency mismatch of detectors. Our experimental implementation can really offer the unconditionally secure final keys. We use 3 different intensities of 0, 0.2, and 0.6 for the light sources in our experiment. In order to eliminate the influences of polarization mode dispersion in the long-distance single-mode optical fiber, an automatic polarization compensation system is utilized to implement the active compensation.     

Random Sierpinski network with scale-free small-world and modular structure

In this paper, we define a stochastic Sierpinski gasket, on the basis of which we construct a network called random Sierpinski network (RSN). We investigate analytically or numerically the statistical characteristics of RSN. The obtained results reveal that the properties of RSN is particularly rich, it is simultaneously scale-free, small-world, uncorrelated, modular, and maximal planar. All obtained analytical predictions are successfully contrasted with extensive numerical simulations. Our network representation method could be applied to study the complexity of some real systems in biological and information fields.     

Analysis of capacity and outage probability for intersatellite optical communications in the presence of random pointing jitter

This work is motivated by the need to achieve the Shannon channel capacity for intersatellite optical communication with intensity modulation and direct detection. In this paper, we investigate the tradeoff between the channel capacity and the outage probability in the presence of random pointing jitter for intersatellite optical links. First, we derive an analytical expression of the outage probability in the absence of bias error, and then the bias error is taken into account. By minimizing the outage probability, we obtain analytically the optimum design of the beam half-width divergence angle $ w_0^{\text{opt}} $ for a given channel code rate. Furthermore, we discuss the tradeoff between the outage probability and the channel capacity and illustrate the results by adopting $ w_0^{\text{opt}} $ in the presence of random pointing jitter. The results obtained are useful for the parametric-estimation optimization of intersatellite optical communication systems.

Holographic imaging of full-color real-existing three-dimensional objects with computer-generated sequential kinoforms

We propose a computational method for generating sequential kinoforms of real-existing full-color threedimensional (3D) objects and realizing high-quality 3D imaging.The depth map and color information are obtained using non-contact full-color 3D measurement system based on binocular vision.The obtained full-color 3D data are decomposed into multiple slices with RGB channels.Sequential kinoforms of each channel are calculated and reconstructed using a Fresnel-diffraction-based algorithm called the dynamicpseudorandom-phase tomographic computer holography (DPP-TCH).Color dispersion introduced by different wavelengths is well compensated by zero-padding operation in the red and green channels of object slices.Numerical reconstruction results show that the speckle noise and color-dispersion are well suppressed and that high-quality full-color holographic 3D imaging is feasible.The method is useful for improving the 3D image quality in holographic displays with pixelated phase-type spatial light modulators (SLMs).     

定轴转动中打击中心位置分析

刚体定轴转动的打击中心是一个很重要的力学概念,但在很多《大学物理》教材中都没有介绍.本文以一根质量均匀分布的细杆绕端点作定轴转动为例,首先从动力学的角度,分析刚体的受力和力矩,根据动力学方程,分别计算出打击中心位置;然后从运动学角度出发,以转轴O点的切向速度和切向加速度等于零为条件,再分别寻找打击中心的位置.计算结果表明:上述4种方法得出的刚体打击中心位置是相同的.最后简介刚体打击中心在体育运动、日常生活中一些应用.
