Low Pass metallic mesh interference filters for operation in the 165 GHz to 880 GHz region

Low Pass metallic mesh interference filters have been designed and constructed for operation in the region 340 m (880 GHz) to 1.8 mm (165 GHz). These filters have been shown to have excellent edge characteristics and good rejection regions. The results show that the mesh filter can be effectively used in both millimetre and submillimetre regions.Part of this work was performed while this author was at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, U.K.

Recent development of non-faradaic potentiometry

Non-faradaic potentiometry has been plagued by a great many fundamental errors and a lack of conceptualization. Of greatest concern is the second Nernst equation hiatus. Potentiometry may be generally classified as faradaic and non-faradaic. The former deals with the redox reactions using the Nernst equation to explain the potential origin. The latter deals with the non-redox reactions using the Boltzmann and modified Boltzmann equations to explain the origin of electrode potential. Redox faradaic potentiometry has been well described in the textbooks. However, non-faradaic potentiometry has been almost completely neglected in the literature. Many well-known electrodes, such as the pH glass electrode, common reference electrodes, and ion selective electrodes (ISE) have been mistakenly interpreted as redox reactions or ion exchange reactions. New theories and experimental results show their mechanisms to be non-faradaic in nature. Furthermore, the reaction mechanisms for ISE have been confused in textbooks with redox reactions and the Nernst equation. The ISE potentials originating from adsorption of ions or charged particles based on surface charge density will be explained using the double and counterion triple layers concept. The new counterion triple layer concept may be applied to the potential development of sensors. The reason for a new concept, theory, or mechanism is to better explain the phenomena. Examples will be given of how our new concept explains the capacitor, counterion triple layer, surface adsorbed layers interactions, and the interface structure. We will also discuss the new sensor development based on the new adsorption concept. For the first time a new type of Ag/AgCl reference electrode for non-faradaic potentiometry will be presented, one without a liquid junction and with a Pt wire instead of a salt bridge. They will help open up a new horizon for electrochemical sensor research and may be used under unusual conditions, such as high temperature and high pressure, stirring, etc.     

退火温度对KDP晶体光学均匀性的影响研究

 研究了磷酸二氢钾（KDP）晶体热退火前后光学均匀性的变化，发现适当温度下退火可以降低KDP晶体的内应力，提高晶体的消光比，从而提高晶体的光学均匀性。实验证明，50℃下退火即可消除部分内应力，110℃下退火可以消除生长鬼影和鬼线。但是,退火温度太高（如170℃）,也可能使晶体的均匀性降低。     

Computer Controlled AAS Scanning Method to Study Flame Atomization Processes

By slightly changing the optical and burner systems of the conventional atomic absorption spectrometer, a computer controlled scanning method has been developed, which enables us to get a picture of absorbance distribution over the entire cross section of the analytical flames quickly, reproducibly and in high resolution. The plotting of different distribution functions obtainable by computerized data processing and the conclusions drawn from them are illustrated with some examples of flame atomization of cobalt and magnesium salts. The newly discovered method, by its reliability and little demand on time, allows the extension of the general applicability of AAS in revealing analytical interference effects and in the study of flame-chemical processes.     

Resolution improvement for enhancing interference fringes of digital holograms with near infrared illuminance

A new resolution improving method of enhancing the interference stripes, which can achieve better reconstruction of the recorded object of infrared digital holography has been proposed in this paper. The experiment is conducted under near infrared illuminance. We create poor quality holograms with very low-resolution interference stripes and enhance it with our new method. The processed holograms have much higher-resolution interference stripes. This method is based on interpolation theory, and we make it works fast, stable and easy to apply. Both the forward and backward interpolation of the oriental and portrait direction of the source pixels have been calculated, and have been used to realize the final aim of resolution improvement. During the experiment, since the responsivity of the CCD is not satisfied with the illuminance laser, which is by design, we also give specific analysis on the experimental setup of our work to make sure the object information can be fully recorded by the optical setup but cannot be reconstructed because of the low-resolution and unobvious of the interference stripes. After the resolution improvement process of the original hologram, the object information can then be fully reconstructed, which is very clear in the paper. Figures and dataflow give evidence and demonstrate the good performance of our method.     

Cluster speckle structures through multiple apertures forming a closed curve

In this work, cluster-like speckle patterns are analyzed. These patterns are generated when a diffuser illuminated by coherent light is imaged by a lens having a pupil mask with multiple apertures forming a closed curve. We show that the cluster structure results from the complex modulation produced inside each speckle which is generated by multiple interferences of light through the apertures. In particular, when the apertures are uniformly distributed along a closed curve, the resulting image speckle cluster replicates the pupil aperture distribution. Experimental results and theoretical simulations show that cluster features depend on the apertures distribution and the size of the closed curves.     

Spatial coherence properties of monochromatic electromagnetic beams and of laser modes

It is shown that, contrary to common belief, monochromatic light beams are, in general, not spatially completely coherent, i.e., they will, in general, not produce fringes of unit visibility in a Young's double pinhole interference experiment. We cite experiments with laser modes which confirm this result.     

连动型抗干扰干涉具井下瓦斯浓度监测系统（英文）

针对井下甲烷浓度监控干扰大的问题,结合实时监测甲烷浓度的系统要求,设计角镜连动的自消震光学结构,构建了基于无线网络的实时数据通信系统.在干涉系统中,固定两个角镜位置,将两片半透半反镜用连杆结构同步旋转,由此产生光程差.由于采用了连杆结构,任意时刻引入的震动在两个分束镜上等量存在,其结果是差分值,可实现完全相消.由分析分束器的最大旋转范围计算得到系统的光程差变化范围.结合比尔朗伯定律,给出系统在井下工作的甲烷气体浓度最低检出限.分别在实验室及矿井主巷道中完成实验过程,通过化学反应法求得被测甲烷气体的标准浓度,与WQF530型光谱分析仪的测试结果作比较,结果表明:在实验室无干扰条件下,两种检测方法的相对误差均小于1.0%;在井下实验中,传统光学检测方法受环境影响明显,相对误差大幅增加,而本系统测试结果基本稳定,具有较强的抗干扰能力及较高的稳定性.     

基于U型弯曲光纤模间干涉的折射率传感

研究了去包层U型弯曲光纤的折射率传感特性.首先根据模间干涉理论,分析了U型光纤传感器的传感原理,指出干涉谱损耗峰波长与环境折射率和弯曲半径有关.利用单模光纤(SM-28)实验制作不同曲率半径的U型光纤传感器,把传感器的U型部分浸入不同折射率的液体中,研究其折射率传感特性.当U型光纤曲率半径为2.5~5.0mm时,传输光谱中均能观察到明显的模间干涉现象;当液体折射率从1.30RIU变到1.43RIU时,光谱损耗峰波长发生红移,且弯曲半径越大,折射率传感灵敏度越高;在曲率半径为5mm时灵敏度为207nm/RIU(折射率1.30~1.40RIU)和1 220nm/RIU(折射率1.40~1.42RIU).干涉峰的波形参量(半高宽、对比度)决定于包层模和纤芯导模之间的比例,当曲率半径为4mm时,损耗峰半高宽最小达3.2nm.综合半高宽和灵敏度两个参量,得出曲率半径4.5mm的U型光纤传感器品质因素最高,分别为43.1RIU-1(折射率1.30~1.40RIU)和191.2RIU-1(折射率1.40~1.42RIU),可直接由SM-28单模光纤制成,且制作工艺简单、成本低、机械强度高不需要任何特殊处理,具有很好的应用前景.
