Influence of the comatic aberration of an apertured lens on the focused polychromatic Gaussian beams

The focusing of polychromatic Gaussian beams by an apertured lens with comatic aberration is investigated in this paper. We study the influence of the comatic aberration and truncation parameter on the intensity distribution at the focal plane, and singularities and spectral behavior near the focal plane in detail. The simulation results show that the maximum intensity at the focal plane will shift and split with the gradual increment of comatic aberration. We also find that the decrease of truncation parameter will counteract the influence of comatic aberration, which leads to the intensity variation. Furthermore, the singularity transformation and spectral anomalies are discussed. It is found that with the increment of comatic aberration, some singularities are split into several new singularities, and by combining some of these new singularities with other singularities near the focal plane, they vanish or form new singularities with the continuing increase of comatic aberration. The decreasing value of truncation parameter will cause similar phenomena.     

Charge/discharge characteristics of sulfur composite electrode at different temperature and current density in rechargeable lithium batteries

The charge/discharge characteristics of the sulfur composite cathodes were investigated at different temperatures and different current densities. The composite presented the discharge capacities of 854 and 632 mAh g⁻¹ at 60 and −20 °C, respectively, while it had the discharge capacities of 792 mAh g⁻¹ at 25 °C. The composite presented the discharge capacities of 792 and 604 mAh g⁻¹ at 55.6 and 667 mA g⁻¹, respectively, at room temperature. The results showed that the sulfur composite cathodes presented good charge/discharge characteristics between 60 and −20 °C and at a high c-rate up to 667 mA g⁻¹.

光纤非相干合成光束在湍流大气中的传输实验研究

进行了六路100 W量级光纤非相干合成光束在实际大气湍流中的传输实验,将六路光斑直径为9 mm的单模光纤光束分别扩束,扩束后的光斑直径为90 mm。基于倾斜镜的合束系统来控制各路光束的指向,在不同强度的湍流条件中,通过主镜口径为440 mm的发射系统水平聚焦传输至470 m处。倾斜控制系统闭环工作时,一倍衍射极限内的桶中功率占目标处总功率的比值是开环工作时的1.7倍左右,随着大气湍流的强度变弱,此比值变大。

Photochromism of new unsymmetrical isomeric diarylethenes bearing a methoxyl group

Three new unsymmetrical isomeric diarylethenes having a methoxyl substituent at ortho‐, meta‐, and para‐position of the terminal benzene ring, namely 1‐(2,5‐dimethyl‐3‐thienyl)‐2‐[2‐methyl‐5‐(2‐methoxylphenyl)‐3‐thienyl]perfluorocyclopentene ( 1o ), 1‐(2,5‐dimethyl‐3‐thienyl)‐2‐[2‐methyl‐5‐(3‐methoxylphenyl)‐3‐thienyl]perfluorocyclopentene ( 2o ), and 1‐(2,5‐dimethyl‐3‐ thienyl)‐2‐[2‐methyl‐5‐(4‐methoxylphenyl)‐3‐thienyl]perfluorocyclopentene ( 3o ), have been synthesized. The substituent position effect of methoxyl group on their properties, including photochromism and fluorescence both in hexane solution and in PMMA film, and their electrochemical properties, were investigated in detail. These diarylethenes showed good photochromism both in solution and in PMMA film. For the same photochromic diarylethene backbone, the electron‐ donating methoxyl substituent can effectively depress the cyclization quantum yields and increase the cycloreversion quantum yields compared to those of diarylethenes bearing chlorine atoms reported previously. Diarylethenes 1o – 3o showed clear fluorescent switches by photoirradiation both in hexane and in PMMA film. In addition, cyclic voltammetry tests showed that the electron‐donating methoxyl group at different position on the terminal benzene ring had a significant effect on the electrochemical properties of these isomeric diarylethenes.

Compact and portable terahertz source by mixing two frequencies generated simultaneously by a single solid-state laser

We have demonstrated a compact and portable terahertz (THz) source, based on difference-frequency generation in a GaSe crystal. The two input frequencies, required for achieving frequency mixing, are generated by a single Q-switched Nd:YLF laser incorporating two laser resonators. The average power of the THz output reaches 1 μW at 1.64 THz (182 μm) within a linewidth of 65 GHz. Such a THz source can be packaged into a compact and portable system.     

Low-complexity transmit antenna selection algorithm formassive MIMO

Massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems can increase capacity and reliability greatly. However,extremely high hardware costs and computational complexity lead to the demand for reasonable antenna selection.Aiming at the problem that the traditional antenna selection algorithm based on maximizing sum capacity has largecomplexity and worse bit error rate (BER) performance, a two-step selection algorithm is proposed, which selectsa part of the antennas based on the norm-based antenna selection (NBS) firstly, and then selects the antenna basedon maximizing capacity via convex optimization. The simulation results show that the improved algorithm has betterBER performance than the traditional algorithms. At the same time, it reduces computational complexity greatly.
