The carbon‐rich silicon carbide (C‐rich SixC1?x) micro‐ring channel waveguide with asymmetric core aspect is demonstrated for all‐optical cross‐wavelength pulsed return‐to‐zero on‐off keying (PRZ‐OOK) data conversion. Enhanced nonlinear optical Kerr switching enables 12‐Gbit per second data processing with optimized modulation depth. The inverse tapered waveguide at end‐face further enlarges the edge‐coupling efficiency, and the asymmetric channel waveguide distinguishes the polarization modes. To prevent data shape distortion, the bus/ring gap spacing is adjusted to control the quality factor (Q‐factor) of the micro‐ring. Designing the waveguide cross section at 500 × 350 nm2 provides the C‐rich SixC1?x channel waveguide to induce strong transverse electric mode (TE‐mode) confinement with a large Kerr nonlinearity of 2.44 × 10?12 cm2 W?1. Owing to the trade‐off between the Q‐factor and the on/off extinction ratio, the optimized bus/ring gap spacing of 1400 nm is selected to provide a coupling ratio at 5–6% for compromising the modulation depth and the switching throughput. Such a C‐rich SixC1?x micro‐ring with asymmetric channel waveguide greatly enhances the cross‐wavelength data conversion efficiency to favor its on‐chip all‐optical data processing applications for future optoelectronic interconnect circuits. 相似文献
Co0.2AlxZn0.8−xO films prepared with different molar ratio of aluminum nitrate to zinc acetate were deposited on substrates by the sol-gel technique. X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence and ferromagnetism measurements were used to characterize the Co0.2AlxZn0.8−xO diluted magnetic semiconductors. The authors found that the intensity of the acceptor-related photoluminescence increased with increasing aluminum concentration and an increase in the number of the acceptor-like defects (zinc vacancies especially) in the Co0.2AlxZn0.8−xO film might lead to the enhancement of the magnetic properties. This implies that controls of the aluminum concentration and the number of the acceptor-like defects are important factors to produce strong ferromagnetism Co0.2AlxZn0.8−xO films prepared by the sol-gel method. 相似文献
We provided a single-mode bent MOS-cross-section rib waveguide design with 0.9 dB/cm bending loss at 25 μm bending radius.
The peak position for the TE-like mode was tuned to the gate oxide around which the maximum amount of free carriers are accumulated
to optimize the free carrier dispersion effect. 相似文献
The microstructure and geometry of yttrium-doped ceria particles, synthesized by spray pyrolysis (SP), were characterized
by transmission electron microscopy, and the distribution of yttrium was investigated by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy
(EDX). The yttrium distribution was investigated by considering an electron interaction volume and geometry of the particle
in an EDX profile analysis. Two models, linear and non-linear, for the yttrium concentration gradient were tested against
the experimental EDX data for hollow particles. The results showed that the linear concentration distribution of yttrium fits
the EDX profiles appreciably better than the non-linear concentration gradient model. This suggests that yttrium distribution
is mainly controlled by the different diffusion rates of the precursors from the centre to the surface of the particle, which
could be related to their different solubilities, during the heating process in SP. 相似文献
Exciton migration! Spectroscopic analyses and extensive molecular dynamics studies revealed a well‐defined 41 helix in which the perylene molecules (see figure) form four “helter‐skelter‐like” overlapping pathways along which excitons and electrons can rapidly migrate.
Raman spectroscopy has been used for the quantitative determination of the conversion efficiency at each step in the production of ethanol from biomass. The method requires little sample preparation; therefore, it is suitable for screening large numbers of biomass samples and reaction conditions in a complex sample matrix. Dilute acid or ammonia-pretreated corn stover was used as a model biomass for these studies. Ammonia pretreatment was suitable for subsequent measurements with Raman spectroscopy, but dilute acid-pretreated corn stover generated a large background signal that surpassed the Raman signal. The background signal is attributed to lignin, which remains in the plant tissue after dilute acid pretreatment. A commercial enzyme mixture was used for the enzymatic hydrolysis of corn stover, and glucose levels were measured with a dispersive 785 nm Raman spectrometer. The glucose detection limit in hydrolysis liquor by Raman spectroscopy was 8 g L−1. The mean hydrolysis efficiency for three replicate measurements obtained with Raman spectroscopy (86 ± 4%) was compared to the result obtained using an enzymatic reaction with UV-vis spectrophotometry detection (78 ± 8%). The results indicate good accuracy, as determined using a Student's t-test, and better precision for the Raman spectroscopy measurement relative to the enzymatic detection assay. The detection of glucose in hydrolysis broth by Raman spectroscopy showed no spectral interference, provided the sample was filtered to remove insoluble cellulose prior to analysis. The hydrolysate was further subjected to fermentation to yield ethanol. The detection limit for ethanol in fermentation broth by Raman spectroscopy was found to be 6 g L−1. Comparison of the fermentation efficiencies measured by Raman spectroscopy (80 ± 10%) and gas chromatrography-mass spectrometry (87 ± 9%) were statistically the same. The work demonstrates the utility of Raman spectroscopy for screening the entire conversion process to generate lignocellulosic ethanol. 相似文献
Chemical investigation of the sponge Ircinia formosana resulted in the isolation of seven new linear C22‐sesterterpenoids, irciformonins E–K ( 1 – 7 ) in addition to irciformonin A ( 8 ), a previously isolated furanosesterterpenoid (=a furan‐moiety‐containing sesterterpenoid) from the same species. The structures were determined by interpretation of HR‐ESI‐MS and 2D‐NMR spectra. The structure of irciformonin A ( 8 ) was revised.
