A New Activation Method for Electroless Metal Plating：Palladium Laden via Bonding with Self—Assembly Monolayers

A new activation method has been developed for electroless copper plating on silicon wafer based on palladium chemisorption on SAMs of APTS without SnCl2 sensitization and roughening condition.A closely packed electroless copper film with strong adhesion is successfully formed by AFM observation.XPS study indicates that palladium chemisorption occurred via palladium chloride bonding to the pendant amino group of the SAMs.     

一种多起点并发式快速运动估计搜索方法

为了提高块匹配运动估计快速算法的搜索速度、精度和鲁棒性,提出了一种多起点并发式快速运动估计搜索方法。根据匹配块搜索的特性,提出了均匀选取多个起始点的方法,同时根据搜索区域的大小制定了自适应的限制条件和进度表,使得算法的收敛速度有了很大的提高。该算法在迭代过程中不但能够接受使目标向好的方向前进的解,而且能够在一定限度内接受使目标恶化的解,这使得算法能够有效地跳出局部极小的陷阱。使用基于TMS320C6415芯片的DSP图像处理系统对抖动视频图像序列进行实验。实验结果表明,当视频图像为PAL制,分辨率为720×576个像素,并且相邻图像间的抖动范围为±40个像素时,使用新提出的方法,匹配参数的计算量不大于使用全域匹配方法计算量的1/8,并且搜索精度远高于其他传统的快速搜索方法。     

2080 nm long-wavelength,high-power dissipative soliton resonance in a dumbbell-shaped thulium-doped fiber laser

We demonstrate a 2080 nm long-wavelength mode-locked thulium(Tm)-doped fiber laser operating in the dissipative soliton resonance(DSR) regime. The compact all-fiber dumbbell-shaped laser is simply constructed by a 50/50 fiber loop mirror(FLM), a 10/90 FLM, and a piece of large-gain Tm-doped double-clad fiber pumped by a 793 nm laser diode. The 10/90 FLM is not only used as an output mirror, but also acts as a periodical saturable absorber for initiating DSR mode locking. The stable DSR pulses are generated at the center wavelength as long as 2080.4 nm, and the pulse duration can be tunable from 780 to 3240 ps as the pump power is increased. The maximum average output power is 1.27 W, corresponding to a pulse energy of 290 nJ and a nearly constant peak power of 93 W. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the longest wavelength for DSR operation in a mode-locked fiber laser.
