Paired interference 3-dB coupler based on SOI rib waveguides with anisotropic chemical wet etching

A 3-dB paired interference (PI) optical coupler in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) based on rib waveguides with trapezoidal cross section was designed with simulation by a modified finite-difference beam propagation method (FD-BPM) and fabricated by potassium hydroxide (KOH) anisotropic chemical wet etching. Theoretically, tolerances of width, length,and port distance are more than 1, 100, and 1 μm, respectively.Smooth interface was obtained with the propagation loss of 1.1 dB/crn at the wavelength of 1.55μm. The coupler has a good uniformity of 0.2 dB and low excess loss of less than 2 dB.     

Enhanced nonlinear optical absorption of Au/SiO2 nano-composite thin films

Nano metal-particle dispersed glasses are the attractive candidates for nonlinear optical material applications.Au/SiO 2 nano-composite thin films with 3 vol% to 65 vol% Au are prepared by inductively coupled plasma sputtering.Au particles as perfect spheres with diameters between 10 nm and 30 nm are uniformly dispersed in the SiO 2 matrix.Optical absorption peaks due to the surface plasmon resonance of Au particles are observed.The absorption property is enhanced with the increase of Au content,showing a maximum value in the films with 37 vol% Au.The absorption curves of the Au/SiO 2 thin films with 3 vol% to 37 vol% Au accord well with the theoretical optical absorption spectra obtained from Mie resonance theory.Increasing Au content over 37 vol% results in the partial connection of Au particles,whereby the intensity of the absorption peak is weakened and ultimately replaced by the optical absorption of the bulk.The band gap decreases with Au content increasing from 3 vol% to 37 vol % but increases as Au content further increases.     

Short-to-medium-range order in Mg65Cu25Y10 metallic glass

The atomic configurations of liquid and glassy Mg₆₅Cu₂₅Y₁₀ alloy have been simulated in the temperature range of 300 K to 2000 K via ab initio molecular dynamics. The variations of pair correlation function (PCF), structure factor (SF), coordination number (CN) and bond pairs with the temperature for this alloy are characterized. It has been shown that the atoms are near densely packed and icosahedral type of short-range order (SRO) is predominant in the glass state. Icosahedral medium range order (MRO) can be formed by vertex or intercross connection of icosahedral SROs. In this work, an icosahedral MRO which is composed of 55 atoms has been found. It has been also clarified that Mg and Cu occupy the centre or vertex, and Y atoms only occupy the vertex of the icosahedron in this glassy alloy. It is believed that these findings have implication for understanding the glass forming mechanism of magnesium based metallic glasses.

Influence of reaction gas flows on the properties of SiGe:H thin film prepared by plasma assisted reactive thermal chemical vapour deposition

A new preparing technology, very high frequency plasma assisted reactive thermal chemical vapour deposition （VHFPA-RTCVD）, is introduced to prepare SiGe：H thin films on substrate kept at a lower temperature. In the previous work, reactive thermal chemical vapour deposition （I~TCVD） technology was successfully used to prepare SiGe：H thin films, but the temperature of the substrate needed to exceed 400℃. In this work, very high frequency plasma method is used to assist RTCVD technology in reducing the temperature of substrate by largely enhancing the temperature of reacting gases on the surface of the substrate. The growth rate, structural properties, surface morphology, photo- conductivity and dark-conductivity of SiGe：H thin films prepared by this new technology are investigated for films with different germanium concentrations, and the experimental results are discussed.

基于自发瑞利-布里渊散射的氮气体黏滞系数的测量

体黏滞系数是从微观角度认识气体分子黏滞性的重要参数,传统的兆赫兹声频范围的声波吸收方法无法直接应用于声波弛豫效应在千兆赫兹范围的高频领域,而瑞利-布里渊散射则能实现对声波弛豫效应在千兆赫兹的气体体黏滞系数的测量.本文测量了532 nm激光激发的常温下压强分别为1-9 bar的氮气的自发瑞利-布里渊散射光谱,利用已知温度和压强的理论模型对测量光谱进行了比较,获得了准确的散射角.利用该散射角并结合χ~2值最小原理反演得到不同压强(4—9 bar)下氮气的平均体黏滞系数为(1.46±0.14)×10~(-5)kg·m~(-1)·s~(-1),该结果与文献中利用自发瑞利-布里渊散射获得的结果和理论计算结果相近,但与相干瑞利-布里渊散射的测量结果相差明显.利用该平均体黏滞系数对氮气在不同压强下的温度进行了反演,得到各压强下的温度与实际温度的绝对误差小于2.50 K,反演温度的平均值与实际温度误差小于0.15 K,该结果证明了实验测量得到的氮气的体黏滞系数具有较高的准确性,同时也说明利用瑞利-布里渊散射反演气体参数具有较高的准确性和可靠性.
