Four-channel coarse WDM for inter- and intra-satellite optical communications

A polymer volume grating-based four-channel coarse wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) for inter- and intra-satellite optical communication application is reported for the first time. This compact four-channel WDM device working at 0.83, 1.06, 1.34 and 1.55 μm is designed to build a complete optical link between two satellites, where wavelengths of 0.83 and 1.55 μm are used for data stream channels, 1.06 and 1.34 μm are used for inter- and intra-satellite connection. It is for the first time reported that a WDM device can cover such a large wavelength range in a single substrate. For transverse electric (TE) wave, the channel efficiencies at 0.83, 1.06, 1.34 and 1.55 μm are 55%, 40%, 35% and 45%, respectively. Channel efficiencies for transverse magnetic (TM) waves are 20% lower than those of TE waves on average. Wavelength shifts due to Doppler effect, temperature variations and radiation effects in space can be adequately accommodated.

Effects of hydroxyls on the structural and room temperature ferromagnetic properties of Co doped SnO2 nanoparticles

Co doped SnO₂ nanoparticles have been prepared via a wet chemical method with different precipitation processes. The structure and morphology of Co doped SnO₂ nanoparticles demonstrate that the nanoparticles are in a rutile single phase and uniform, respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows that the Co dopants are in 2+ oxidation valence state and doped ∼2 atm% in SnO₂ nanoparticles. Moreover, Raman spectroscopy further confirms that Co doped SnO₂ nanoparticles have single phase crystallinity without forming any extra modes related to secondary phases. The magnetic measurements reveal that all nanoparticles exhibit room temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM) due to the presence of disorders and defects introduced by hydroxyls in the crystal structure. In addition, it has been clearly observed that the saturated magnetic moments are strongly affected by the precipitation processes which control the incorporation of hydroxyls into the lattice.     

Removal of oxygen from silicon by electron beam melting

Small amounts of multicrystalline silicon were melted in an electron beam furnace in different experimental conditions in order to investigate the oxygen evaporation behavior during the electron beam melting (EBM) process. The oxygen content level before and after EBM was determined by secondary ion mass spectroscopy. The oxygen content was reduced from 6.177 to 1.629 ppmw when silicon was melted completely at 15 kW with removal efficiency up to 73.6 %. After that, it decreased continually to <0.0517 ppmw when the refining time exceeded 600 s with a removal efficiency of more than 99.08 %. During the melting process, the evaporation rate of silicon is 1.10 × 10^?5 kg/s. The loss of silicon could be reduced up to 1.7 % during oxygen removal process to a desirable figure, indicating EBM is an effective method to remove oxygen from silicon and decrease the loss of silicon.     

High-temperature impedance spectroscopy of BaFe0.5Nb0.5O3 ceramics doped with Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3

Bi_0.5Na_0.5TiO₃ (BNT)-doped BaFe_0.5Nb_0.5O₃ (BFN) ceramics were synthesized by a two-step solid-state reaction. Temperature dependence of dielectric properties measured at different frequencies was investigated over broad temperature and frequency ranges. Impedance spectroscopy and universal dielectric response were employed to study the relaxation behavior and conductivity mechanism of the ceramics in a frequency range from 40 Hz to 100 MHz and a temperature range from 300 K to 800 K. The complex plane impedance data revealed the bulk and grain boundary contributions toward conductivity processes in the form of semicircular arcs. The high-temperature conductivity of ceramics is attributable to thermally activated second ionized oxygen vacancy.

Three-dimensional ghost imaging based on periodic diffraction correlation imaging

We experimentally demonstrate a three-dimensional （3D） ghost imaging method based on period diffraction correlation imaging. Compared with conventional ghost imaging, our method can easily retrieve the images of different focal planes. Due to the correlation between the disturbed object beam and the reference beams which do not pass through any scattering, the clear images can be periodically obtained in the uncovered zones even through a scattering medium. The analysis of the 3D imaging resolution reveals that the proper resolution for actual demand can be achieved by designing our devices. The implementation of this experiment is quite simple and low-cost. It facilitates the practical applications of ghost imaging.     

A study on defect formation and magnetic properties of nitrogen-doped ZnO nanowires by the first principles

Theoretical calculation based on density functional theory (DFT) and generalized gradient approximation (GGA) has been carried out in studying defect formation energies, ionizing energies and ferromagnetism of nitrogen-doped ZnO nanowires. The result shows that N_O is deep acceptor, which make it hard to ionize. Ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) coupling between N atoms are also investigated. The results show that FM coupling between N atoms is more stable than AFM coupling. The FM coupling mechanism is explained by the interaction of N energy level. In addition, zinc and oxygen vacancies affecting FM coupling is also discussed. It is found that zinc and oxygen vacancies are unfavorable for stabilizing FM coupling of nitrogen-doped ZnO nanowires.     

Fluctuations in apparent mass at the bottom of granular columns due to different arrangements

We report the fluctuations in apparent mass at the bottom of granular columns due to various configurations. It is found that the fluctuations decrease with the increase in the ratio of diameters of silo to grain. For the arrangement of different grain layers in a column, the higher fluctuations appear when the larger grains are stacked at the bottom layer while reversing the order of grain-layers leads to smaller fluctuations. We attribute this behavior to the randomness in the direction of frictional forces between the grains and the confining wall. Moreover, due to polydisperse media, the development of inhomogeneous force transmission in grains may cause this to happen.
