微带型光导开关的电压转换效率

采用微带测试电路对光导开关电压转换效率进行了测试。依据传输线理论,考虑微带传输电路的端点反射,计算给出了光导开关导通电阻不为0的情况下,微带测试电路电压转换效率的解析结果。计算表明：对窄脉宽的线性电脉冲输出,电压转换效率将小于50%;对lock-on模式下的宽脉冲输出,电压转换效率可以超过50%,在理想情况下达到100%;在临界状态下,形成双峰电脉冲输出。结果表明,存在端点反射且光导开关产生电脉冲脉宽达到一定值时,微带线可以起到倍压传输线的作用。     

Enhancing optomechanical force sensing via precooling and quantum noise cancellation

We theoretically investigate optomechanical force sensing via precooling and quantum noise cancellation in two coupled cavity optomechanical systems.We show that force sensing based on the reduction of noise can be used to dramatically enhance the force sensing and that the precooling process can eifectively improve the quantum noise cancellation.Specifically,we examine the effect of optomechanical cooling and noise reduction on the spectral density of the noise of the force measurement;these processes can significantly enhance the performance of optomechanical force sensing,and setting up the system in the resolved sideband regime can lead to an optimization of the cooling processes in a hybrid system.Such a scheme serves as a promising platform for quantum back-action-evading measurements of the motion and a framework for an optomechanical force sensor.     

Quantum Decoherence of Gaussian Steering and Entanglement in Hawking Radiation and Thermal Bath

We study the effects of Hawking radiation and bath temperature on quantum steering and entanglement for a two-mode Gaussian state exposed in the background of a black hole and immersed in the two independent thermal baths. We find that both the effects can destroy the quantum steering and entanglement. Quantum steering always exists sudden death for any Hawking temperature and any bath temperature, but entanglement does not in zero-temperature thermal bath. Both the Hawking radiation and the asymmetry of thermal baths can induce the asymmetry of quantum steering, but the latter effect is much weaker than the former. An unintuitive result is that the observer who stays in the Hawking radiation or in the thermal bath with higher temperature has more stronger steerability than the other one. We also find that Hawking radiation and thermal noise can change the asymptotic behavior of steering and entanglement versus the squeezing parameter.

     

Effects of potential functions on stochastic resonance

In this paper, the effects of a bistable potential function U(x)=-ax²/2+b|x|^2γ/(2γ) on stochastic resonance (SR) is discussed. We investigate the effects of index γ on the performance of the SR system with fixed parameters a and b, and with fixed potential barriers, respectively. To measure the performance of the SR system in the presence of an aperiodic input, the bit error rate is employed, as is commonly used in binary communications. The numerical simulations strongly support the theoretical results. The goal of this investigation is to explore the effects of the shape of potential functions on SR and give a guidance of nonlinear systems in the application of information processing.     

Study of laser carving three-dimensional structures on ceramics: Quality controlling and mechanisms

Three-dimensional (3D) laser carving is a new, very flexible process and is very useful for machining the hard and/or brittle materials such as ceramics, carbide and hardened steel with high precision, excellent productivity and surface quality. In this paper, the effects of laser processing parameters on single-layer carving depth and surface quality are analyzed by laser carving on an Al₂O₃ ceramic with different processing parameters. The mechanisms of laser carving are also studied. A mathematical model of the relationship between the laser processing parameters and the laser carving depth is established, which is useful in obtaining the best machining parameters with the shortest time. Finally, a 3D pattern is successfully carved using the optimum parameters.

针对基于压缩感知理论的红外图像重建问题,提出一种基于改进的分块压缩感知红外图像重建方法。该方法首先对原始红外图像进行分块,并对每个子块用相同的观测矩阵进行随机观测,获得少量的观测数据;然后利用谱图小波变换优异的稀疏特性,将其引入平滑投影Landweber算法进行迭代优化重建,同时采用混合中值滤波进行处理以增加图像的平滑度和减少块伪影,最后输出满足要求的高质量红外图像。实验结果表明,在相同采样率下,该方法对于不同类型红外图像的重建性能均优于目前广为采用的一些小波压缩感知方法,可获得更高质量的红外图像。     

One-step synthesis of Fe3O4@C/reduced-graphite oxide nanocomposites for high-performance lithium ion batteries

In this paper, we propose a facile one-step strategy to prepare Fe₃O₄@amorphous carbon/reduced graphite oxide nanocomposites (FCRGs) under hydrothermal conditions. A transmission electron microscopy image has shown that the as-formed Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles coated with a layer of amorphous carbon are wrapped by reduced graphite oxide (r-GO) sheets. The diameter of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles is less than 50 nm. N₂ adsorption/desorption isotherms indicate that the specific surface area of FCRG is 31.6 m²/g with porous structure. FCRG exhibits improved cycling stability and rate performances as a potential anode material for high-performance lithium ion batteries.     

Thermal impact on spiking properties in Hodgkin-Huxley neuron with synaptic stimulus

The effect of environmental temperature on neuronal spiking behaviors is investigated by numerically simulating the temperature dependence of spiking threshold of the Hodgkin-Huxley neuron subject to synaptic stimulus. We find that the spiking threshold exhibits a global minimum in a specific temperature range where spike initiation needs weakest synaptic strength, which form the engineering perspective indicates the occurrence of optimal use of synaptic transmission in the nervous system. We further explore the biophysical origin of this phenomenon associated with ion channel gating kinetics and also discuss its possible biological relevance in information processing in neuronal systems.
