1/f Noise QWIPs and nBn detectors

The low-frequency noise is a ubiquitous phenomenon and the spectral power density of this fluctuation process is inversely proportional to the frequency of the signal. We have measured the 1/f noise of a 640 × 512 pixel quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) focal plane array (FPA) with 6.2 μm peak wavelength. Our experimental observations show that this QWIP FPA’s 1/f noise corner frequency is about 0.1 mHz. With this kind of low frequency stability, QWIPs could unveil a new class of infrared applications that have never been imagined before. Furthermore, we present the results from a similar 1/f noise measurement of bulk InAsSb absorber (lattice matched to GaSb substrate) nBn detector array with 4.0 μm cutoff wavelength.     

Sixteen-element Ge-on-SOI PIN photo-detector arrays for parallel optical interconnects

We describe the structure and testing of one-dimensional array parallel-optics photo-detectors with 16 photodiodes of which each diode operates up to 8 Gb/s. The single element is vertical and top illuminated 30μm-diameter silicon on insulator （Ge-on-SOI） PIN photodetector. High-quality Ge absorption layer is epitaxially grown on SO1 substrate by the ultra-high vacuum chemical vapor deposition （UHV-CVD）. The photodiode exhibits a good responsivity of 0.20 A/W at a wavelength of 1550 nm. The dark current is as low as 0.36/aA at a reverse bias of 1 V, and the corresponding current density is about 51 mA/cm2. The detector with a diameter of 30 t.trn is measured at an incident light of 1.55 μm and 0.5 mW, and the 3-dB bandwidth is 7.39 GHz without bias and 13.9 GHz at a reverse bias of 3 V. The 16 devices show a good consistency.     

V型纳米金球阵列天线侧向散射方向性的数值模拟

纳米天线侧向散射的方向性在生物感测以及表面增强光谱学等领域都有重要研究价值。侧向散射方向性的产生需要破坏纳米天线相对于平面波极化方向的镜像对称,由纳米粒子阵列构成的纳米天线排列灵活,易于实现非镜像对称结构。采用T-matrix方法对V型纳米金球阵列天线进行数值模拟,研究了其侧向散射的方向性,分别讨论了不同阵元数目构成的不同臂长、不同臂间开角、不同球形阵元半径、不同阵元球心间距对V型天线侧向散射方向性的影响。研究表明V型纳米阵列天线具有侧向散射方向性的可调性。     

用聚苯乙烯小球模拟生物组织中的光强分布

用水中周期排列的直径为3μm的单层聚苯乙烯小球以及单个聚苯乙烯小球模拟对光敏感的生物组织，如绿色植物叶肉细胞、动物皮肤的表皮细胞、苍蝇蜜蜂等的复眼以及一种海蛇尾背部的光敏器官的光强分布.通过观测聚苯乙烯小球在不同深度的光强分布，发现随着深度的改变其光强分布是截然不同的.在小球的横截面上，光强分布不很均匀而且呈有规律的花纹图案.在小球的外面，光强分布表现为独立的透镜成像分布.周期排列的小球与单个小球在其横截面上的光强分布也完全不同，前者的光强分布表现出球与球之间很大的相关性. 关键词： 生物组织 周期排列 光强分布

Analysis of beam quality for the laser beams after spectral beam combining

The beam quality of the laser beams after spectral beam combining (SBC) has been analyzed in this paper. Based on the propagation model of the spectral beam combining system, the expression for the output field of an individual beam passing through the spectral beam combining system with lens aberration has been given and the intensity distribution of the combined beam has been studied by the principle of incoherent superposition. Consequently, according to the intensity second-order moments method, the M²-factor of the combined beam has been calculated and the effect of lens aberration on the characteristics of the combined beam has been analyzed quantitatively. It can be shown that the SBC system can improve the beam quality of laser array significantly, and the M²-factor of the combined beam passing through the ideal spectral beam combining system is almost the same as that of an individual beam. For the spectral beam combining system with lens aberration, the spherical aberration has greater effect on the off-axis beam than on the on-axis beam, and the beam quality of combined beam degrades with increase in lens aberration.     

Elastic guided wave propagation in a periodic array of multi-layered piezoelectric plates with finite cross-sections

In this study, we present a model study of guided wave dispersion and resonance behavior of an array of piezoelectric plates with arbitrary cross-sections. The objective of this work is to analyze the influence of the geometry of an element of a 1D-array ultrasound transducer on generating multi-resonance frequency so as to increase the frequency bandwidth of the transducers. A semi-analytical finite-element (SAFE) method is used to model guided wave propagation in multi-layered 1D-array ultrasound transducers. Each element of the array is composed of LiNbO₃ piezoelectric material with rectangular or subdiced cross-section. Four-node bilinear finite-elements have been used to discretize the cross-section of the transducer. Dispersion curves showing the dependence of phase and group velocities on the frequency, and mode shapes of propagating modes were obtained for different geometry consurations. A parametric analysis was carried out to determine the effect of the aspect ratio, subdicing, inversion layer and matching layers on the vibrational behavior of 1D-array ultrasound transducers. It was found that the geometry with subdiced cross-section causes more vibration modes compared with the rectangular section. Modal analysis showed that the additional modes correspond to lateral modes of the piezoelectric subdiced section. In addition, some modes have strong normal displacements, which may influence the bandwidth and the pressure field in front of the transducer. In addition, the dispersion curves reveal strong coupling between waveguide modes due to the anisotropy of the piezoelectric crystal. The effect of the matching layers was to cluster extensional and flexural modes within a certain frequency range. Finally, inversion layer is found to have a minor effect on the dispersion curves. This analysis may provide a means to analyze and understand the dynamic response of 1D-array ultrasound transducers.

Mutually orthogonal equitable Latin rectangles

Let ab=n². We define an equitable Latin rectangle as an a×b matrix on a set of n symbols where each symbol appears either or times in each row of the matrix and either or times in each column of the matrix. Two equitable Latin rectangles are orthogonal in the usual way. Denote a set of ka×b mutually orthogonal equitable Latin rectangles as a k– MOELR (a,b;n). When a≠9,18,36, or 100, then we show that the maximum number of k– MOELR (a,b;n)≥3 for all possible values of (a,b).
