We reported a cavity-dumped operation of electro-optical Q-switched Nd:GdVO₄ laser at high repetition rates for the first time. A constant 5.5 ns pulse duration was realized. The maximum average output power was 5.1 W at the highest repetition rate of 50 kHz, corresponding to a peak power of 18.5 kW.     

Synthesis and characterization of highly conductive Sn–Ag bimetallic nanoparticles for printed electronics

To synthesize low-cost, highly conductive metal nanoparticles for inkjet printing materials, we synthesized Sn–Ag bimetallic nanoparticles using a polyol process with poly(vinyl pyrrolidone). Because a surface oxidation layer forms on Sn nanoparticles, various compositions of Sn–xAg [x = 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 (wt%)] nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized for the purpose of removing the β-Sn phase. The results of XPS, TEM, and XRD analyses confirm that the formation of a bimetallic phase, such as Ag₄Sn or Ag₃Sn, hinders the β-Sn phase and, consequently, leads to the removal of the surface oxidation layer. To measure the sheet resistance of various compositions of Sn–Ag nanoparticles, we made the ink that contains Sn–Ag by dispersing 10 wt% of Sn–Ag nanoparticles in methanol. The sheet resistance is decreased by the conductive Sn–Ag phases, such as the fcc, Ag₄Sn, and Ag₃Sn phases, but sharply increased by the low-conductive Sn nanoparticles and the surface oxidation layer on the Sn nanoparticles. The sheet resistance results confirm that 80Ag20Sn and 60Ag40Sn bimetallic nanoparticles are suitable candidates for inkjet printing materials.     

Growth of very large grains in polycrystalline silicon thin films by the sequential combination of vapor induced crystallization using AlCl3 and pulsed rapid thermal annealing

Metal-induced crystallization method is one of the favorable non-laser crystallization methods for thin-film transistors in large-area displays. However, it is necessary to reduce metal contamination in the film to lower leakage current for the device applications. A new two-step crystallization method, consisting of a nucleation step by AlCl₃ vapor-induced crystallization and a grain growth step by a pulsed rapid thermal annealing, has been proposed to increase the grain size and reduce the residual metal contamination in crystallized poly-Si films. The grain size of the poly-Si film crystallized by the VIC + PRTA two-step crystallization process was as large as 70 μm. Furthermore, the Al concentration in the poly-Si film was reduced by two orders of magnitude from 1 × 10²⁰ cm^?3 by VIC only process to 1.4 × 10¹⁸ cm^?3 by the two-step process. As a result, the minimum leakage current of poly-Si TFTs using the poly-Si film prepared by the two-step process was reduced from 1.9 × 10^?10 A/μm to 2.8 × 10^?11 A/μm at a drain voltage of 5 V, without carrier mobility degradation.

Hierarchical and probabilistic quantum state sharing via a non-maximally entangled |χ〉 state

A scheme that probabilistically realizes hierarchical quantum state sharing of an arbitrary unknown qubit state with a four-qubit non-maximally entangled |χ state is presented in this paper. In the scheme, the sender Alice distributes a quantum secret with a Bell-state measurement and publishes her measurement outcomes via a classical channel to three agents who are divided into two grades. One agent is in the upper grade, while the other two agents are in the lower grade. Then by introducing an ancillary qubit, the agent of the upper grade only needs the assistance of any one of the other two agents for probabilistically obtaining the secret, while an agent of the lower grade needs the help of both the other two agents by using a controlled-NOT operation and a proper positive operator-valued measurement instead of the usual projective measurement. In other words, the agents of two different grades have different authorities to reconstruct Alice’s secret in a probabilistic manner. The scheme can also be modified to implement the threshold-controlled teleportation.

基于改进的非下采样Contourlet变换的超分辨率复原算法

Contourlet变换应用于图像复原时容易引人伪吉布斯现象.非下采样Contourlet变换(NSCT)具有平移不变性,能够克服伪古布斯现象,但足由于基于学习的超分辨率复原需要建立不同分辨率的关系,而NSCT变换的结果是每一层图像大小都一样,不能像拉普拉斯金字塔那样建立高低分辨率图像的对应关系及运算量较大.针对这些问题,提出了基于改进的非下采样Contourlet变换(INSCT)的超分辨率复原算法.为了表示人脸特征,算法首先建立了INSCT金字塔.然后针对人脸的特殊性,在匹配过程中,采用对应点进行匹配的方法.实验表明该算法具有较好的性能,复原出的超分辨率人脸图像无论在主观视觉效果上还是在客观评价指标上都取得较好的结果,复原的图像具有更好的视觉效果,更逼真,更接近于原始高分辨率图像.
