缓冲层对导模共振滤光片反射光谱截止特性的影响

提出将均质多层膜系设计中的缓冲层概念71入到反射导模共振(GMR)滤光片的设计中,通过严格的耦合波理论精确计算,研究了加入缓冲层对改善导模共振滤光片反射峰边带截止深度及截止宽度的作用.双层导模共振滤光片结构中,入射光为TE偏振光时,设计增加97.5 nm缓冲层后,能够明显地展宽反射光谱范围.由原来的192.4 nm展宽到345.6 nm,并且在650～1250 nm波长范围内的边带截止度均比不含缓冲层结构的要深.入射光为TM偏振光,以类似TE结构的滤光片在布儒斯特角入射时,在700~1300 nm波长范围内,较不含缓冲层的结构,也能够获得更宽的截止带反射光谱和更深的截止度.在提出的膜系结构中,经过优化膜系、选择合适的光栅参数等,可以使反射光谱具有更好的截止特性,同时保证设计的共振峰位置不变.     

Synthesis of Eu x Si6? z Al z O z N8? z green phosphor and?its?luminescent properties

Rare-earth-doped oxynitride or nitride compounds have been reported to be photoluminescent and may then serve as new phosphors because of their good thermal and chemical stabilities. In this work, Eu²⁺-doped β-SiAlON phosphor with a composition of Eu _x Si_6−z Al _z O _z N_8−z (x=0.018, z=0.23) was prepared by gas-pressured solid state reaction. The crystallinity and particle morphology of the prepared phosphor were characterized. The Stokes shift and zero-phonon line were calculated mathematically and estimated from the spectral data. The temperature dependence of photoluminescence was measured from 25 to 250°C. The prepared Eu²⁺-doped β-SiAlON green phosphor showed superior thermal quenching property compared to silicate (SrBaSiO₄:Eu²⁺) green phosphor. The white light-emitting diode (LED) back-lighting unit (BLU) using the prepared β-SiAlON:Eu²⁺ green phosphor exhibited higher color gamut than a commercial silicate phosphor.     

Ag–N dual-accept doping for the fabrication of p-type ZnO

P-type ZnO was realized by dual-doping with nitrogen and silver via electrostatic-enhanced ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. The structural, electrical, and optical properties were explored by XRD, Hall-effect, and optical transmission spectra. The resistivity of ZnO:(N,Ag) film was found to be 56 Ω cm⁻¹ with the high mobility of 76.1 cm²/V s. Compared with ZnO:Ag film, ZnO:(N,Ag) film exhibited a higher and more stable optical transmittance.     

All-fiber birefringent filter with fine tunability and changeable spacing

A novel all-fiber birefringent filter has been proposed and demonstrated. Simulation results show that the birefringence fiber filter with one section of polarization-maintenance fiber (PMF) can be finely tuned with its free spectrum range, and the filter with two sections of PMFs can generate changeable wave-length spacing. Experiment agrees well with simulation. This filter has potential applications for flexible multiwavelength fiber laser.     

A strip-shield improves the efficiency of a solenoid coil in probes for high-field solid-state NMR of lossy biological samples

A strip-shield inserted between a high inductance double-tuned solenoid coil and the glass tube containing the sample improves the efficiency of probes used for high-field solid-state NMR experiments on lossy aqueous samples of proteins and other biopolymers. A strip-shield is a coil liner consisting of thin copper strips layered on a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) insulator. With lossy samples, the shift in tuning frequency is smaller, the reduction in Q, and RF-induced heating are all significantly reduced when the strip-shield is present. The performance of 800 MHz ¹H/¹⁵N and ¹H/¹³C double-resonance probes is demonstrated on aqueous samples of membrane proteins in phospholipid bilayers.     

Nonane droplet combustion with and without buoyant convection: Flame structure, burning rate and extinction in air and helium

The burning and extinction characteristics of isolated small nonane droplets are examined in a buoyant convective environment and in an environment with no external axial convection (as created by doing experiments at low gravity) to promote spherical droplet flames. The ambience is air and a mixture of 30%O₂/70%He to assess the influence of soot formation. The initial droplet diameter (D_o) ranges from 0.4 to 0.95 mm. Measurements are reported of the extinction diameter and time to extinction, and of the evolution of droplet diameter, flame diameter, soot shell diameter, burning rate, and broadband radiative emissions.In a buoyancy-free environment for air larger droplets burn slower than smaller droplets for the range of D_o examined, which is attributed to the influence of soot. In the presence of a buoyant flow in air, no influence of D_o is observed on the burning rate while the buoyant flames are still heavily sooting. The effect of D_o is believed to be due to a combination of dominance of the nonluminous, nonsooting, portion of the buoyant flame around the forward half of the droplet on heat transport and the secondary role of the luminous wake portion of the flame. In a non-sooting helium inert at low gravity, no effect of D_o is found on the evolution of droplet diameter.Flame extinction is observed only in the 30%O₂/70%He ambience. For all of the observations, extinction appears to occur before the disappearance of the droplet which is then followed by a period of evaporation. The extinction diameter and time to extinction increases with D_o and an empirical correlation is presented for these two variables.

Optical beat interference-tolerant 60-km WDM/SCM-PON link based on reflective-SOA using amplified spontaneous emission and wavelength conversion

An optical beat interference (OBI)-resistant 60-km wavelength division multiplexed/subcarrier multiplexing-passive optical network (WDM/SCM-PON) is proposed. This scheme disperses OBI-noises using broadband amplified spontaneous emission (ASE)-light as an optical source for optical network unit. An uplink transmission is executed using a cross gain modulated light by ASE source with data in a local exchange. Error free transmissions of up and downlink are experimentally accomplished after 60-km optical transmission. The impact of Rayleigh backscattering noise on 100-Mb/s uplink signal is also investigated.     

Nonpropagation of scalar in the deformed Hořava–Lifshitz gravity

We study the propagation of a scalar, the trace of h_ij$h_{ij}$ in the deformed Ho?ava–Lifshitz gravity with coupling constant λ. It turns out that this scalar is not a propagating mode in the Minkowski spacetime background. In this work, we do not choose a gauge-fixing to identify the physical degrees of freedom and instead, make it possible by substituting the constraints into the quadratic Lagrangian.     

Fabrication of low OH loss holey fibers with varying air hole sizes and their optical properties

We experimentally investigate a flexible fabrication technique for low OH and transmission losses holey fibers with a Ge-doped core and air holes in a silica cladding region. Versatile holey fibers of different size, pitch, and shape of air holes were achieved by controlling the temperature and heating time of the holey fiber preform. In addition, we suppress the OH loss of less than ∼0.323 dB/km at 1383 nm. After fabricating holey fibers, we measure their optical properties including cut-off wavelength, mode field diameter, splicing loss, dispersion, bending loss, and polarization dependent loss based on the size of air holes. The total transmission loss was measured to be ∼0.226 dB/km at 1550 nm by improving the fabrication process. After fabricating optical patch cord based on holey fibers, we measured the long-term stability of the fabricated holey fiber by using the temperature cycling technique for 24 and obtained low power fluctuation of 0.2 dB. We achieve the high quality holey fiber with a low bending loss of ∼0.04 dB/turn under a bending radius of 2.5 mm at 1550 nm. We also obtain a tunable band rejection filter with a number of bending turns.
