Review of chip-scale atomic clocks based on coherent population trapping

Research on chip-scale atomic clocks （CSACs） based on coherent population trapping （CPT） is reviewed. The back- ground and the inspiration for the research are described, including the important schemes proposed to improve the CPT signal quality, the selection of atoms and buffer gases, and the development of micro-cell fabrication. With regard to the re- liability, stability, and service life of the CSACs, the research regarding the sensitivity of the CPT resonance to temperature and laser power changes is also reviewed, as well as the CPT resonance＇s collision and light of frequency shifts. The first generation CSACs have already been developed but its characters are still far from our expectations. Our conclusion is that miniaturization and power reduction are the most important aspects calling for further research.     

微波灰化重量法测定卷烟纸中灰分

卷烟纸灰分是卷烟纸质量控制的一项重要指标,产生卷烟纸灰分的主要成分是纸中添加了碳酸钙等无机填充物,这些填充物可起到改善卷烟纸的透气度、调节卷烟纸的燃烧速率、提高卷烟纸的白度和不透明度、改善卷烟纸的手感和外观质量以及节约纤维用量等作用[1]。     

简讯

中国现有2314种食品添加剂均有检测方法不久前,有媒体报道称"食品添加剂六成无法检测",引起社会关注。卫生部有关部门负责人表示,该说法不够准确,和实际情况有出入。目前,中国现有的2314种食品添加剂均有相应的检测方法,对食品添加剂在食品中残留量的检测管理与发达国家基本一致。

近年来,随着人们生活水平的提高,饮料成为人们日常生活的必备饮品,为改善饮料的品质,提高其色、香、味等感官质量,延长其保存期和提高产品质量,生产厂家通常会在产品生产过程中加入一些食品添加剂,而这些食品添加剂大多为人工合成,过量使用对人体会造成一定的危害。国家标准GB 2760《食品添加剂使用卫生标准》中对各种添加剂的使用限量进行了严格控制[1]。山梨酸、苯甲酸、脱氢乙酸、甜蜜素、糖精钠、安     

Laser output of radial-slab solid-state laser

In this letter, numerical simulation and experimental study of a radial-slab solid-state laser are presented. The laser includes four crossing-slabs pumped by four Xe flashlamps. The numerical simulation of coherent intensity in the near field and the far field indicates that the laser with the structure can improve the quality of output beam compared with incoherent beam combination. The radial-slab solid-state laser is fabricated, and initial experiments are carried out at a pulse repetition of 1 Hz. Nine beams in the near field and one combined beam in the far field are obtained in our initial experiment. The experimental results are consistent with the numerical analysis in the coherent condition. The results show that coherent beam combination is obtained by this laser.

无重叠图像期间的卫星平台颤振估计算法

提出了基于双重约束函数的无重叠图像期间的颤振估计算法。建立了视差图像与低频颤振相结合的双重约束函数,以评价无重叠图像期间颤振曲线的平滑度;采用共轭梯度法筛选颤振曲线平滑度最优解,并以此作为无重叠图像期间颤振的最佳估计;建立了无重叠图像期间与重叠图像期间颤振之间的函数关系式。以我国XX-1号可见光详查相机为例进行实验,颤振探测结果在被测颤振的频率既不等于也不接近特征频率的整数倍处具备有效性,证明了所提算法能够对无重叠图像期间非特征频率整数倍及其附近处的颤振进行有效探测。

A corresponding-state approach to quark-cluster matter

The state of super-dense matter is essential for us to understand the nature of pulsars; however, non- perturbative quantum chromodynamics makes it very difficult to make direct calculations of the state of cold matter at realistic baryon number densities inside compact stars. Nevertheless, from an observational point of view, it is conjectured that pulsars could be made up of quark clusters since the strong coupling between quarks might render the quarks to be grouped in clusters. In this paper, we attempt to find an equation of state of condensed quark-cluster matter in a phenomenological way. Supposing that the quark-clusters could be analogized to inert gases, we apply here the corresponding-state approach to derive the equation of state of quark-cluster matter, as was similarly demonstrated for nuclear and neutron-star matter in the 1970s. According to the calculations that we have presented, the quark-cluster stars, which are composed of quark-cluster matter, could have a high maximum mass that is consistent with observations and, in turn, further observations of pulsar mass could also place a constraint on the properties of quark-cluster matter. We will also briefly discuss the melting heat during the solid-liquid phase conversion and its related astrophysical consequences.
