A proton therapy facility based on a linac injector and a slow cycling synchrotron is proposed.To achieve effective treatment of cancer,a scanning gantry is required.The flexible transmission of beam and high beam position accuracy are the most basic requirements for a gantry.The designed gantry optics and scanning system are presented.Great efforts are put into studying the sensitivity of the beam position in the isocenter to the element misalignments.It shows that quadrupole shift makes the largest contribution and special attention should be paid to it.     

Multiple-bipolar-tap tunable spectrum sliced microwave photonic filter

A spectrum sliced microwave photonic signal processor structure, which is all-fiber based and features simplicity, together with the ability to realize tunability, reconfigurability, bipolar taps, and multiple-tap rf filtering, is presented. It is based on thermally controlled optical slicing filters induced into two linearly chirped fiber Bragg gratings. Experimental results demonstrate the realization of versatile microwave photonic filters with frequency tunable, reconfiguration, and bipolar-tap generation capabilities.     

Persistence and breakdown of Airy beams driven by an initial nonlinearity

We study the behavior of Airy beams propagating from a nonlinear medium to a linear medium. We show that an Airy beam initially driven by a self-defocusing nonlinearity experiences anomalous diffraction and can maintain its shape in subsequent propagation, but its intensity pattern and acceleration cannot persist when driven by a self-focusing nonlinearity. The unusual behavior of Airy beams is examined from their energy flow as well as the Brillouin zone spectrum of self-induced chirped photonic lattices.     

Graphene field-effect transistors with ferroelectric gating

Recent experiments on ferroelectric gating have introduced a novel functionality, i.e., nonvolatility, in graphene field-effect transistors. A comprehensive understanding in the nonlinear, hysteretic ferroelectric gating and an effective way to control it are still absent. In this Letter, we quantitatively characterize the hysteretic ferroelectric gating using the reference of an independent background doping (n(BG)) provided by normal dielectric gating. More importantly, we prove that n(BG) can be used to control the ferroelectric gating by unidirectionally shifting the hysteretic ferroelectric doping in graphene. Utilizing this electrostatic effect, we demonstrate symmetrical bit writing in graphene-ferroelectric field-effect transistors with resistance change over 500% and reproducible no-volatile switching over 10? cycles.     

三维轴对称折叠腔CO2激光器的位相锁定

在一新型三维轴对称腔CO2激光器的基础上提出了一种对此激光器位相锁定的方法。通过在输出镜后放置一具有反射和整形作用的凹凸镜,让作为输出注入光束的谐振腔优先起振。此腔输出的光束到达凹凸镜时被其反射。利用重新定义光斑半径的方法,证明此光束能够覆盖其他放电管输出的光束,根据几何光学,此光束能反射进入各个放电管。然后利用光子简并度的概念证明了反射光束能够控制腔内的本征模式,并且数值分析了注入锁定后腔内模式匹配。在反射注入锁定的情况下,给出了数值计算的光强输出及其模拟,结果证明经位相锁定后,激光器输出光束的质量有了很大的提高。
