Excitation dependent quenching of luminescence in LED phosphors

Droop, the decrease of efficiency with increased power density, became a major topic with InGaN LEDs, after its introduction in 2007. This paper provides insight into droop in localized center luminescence phosphors, exemplified here by Eu²⁺ doped materials. This topic is of increasing importance, as high brightness blue LEDs have reached outputs >1 W/mm². The nonlinearities in phosphor quantum efficiency result in drive‐dependent color point shift and reduction of overall efficiency of phosphor converted white LEDs which utilize Eu²⁺ activated phosphors. The efficiency quenching can be traced back to two processes, well‐known in laser physics, excited state absorption or/and cross relaxation by Foerster/Dexter transfer. Both processes lead to reduction in phosphor efficiency, but they can be differentiated. Understanding the root cause of efficiency quenching opens ways to minimize the practical consequences.

液晶光阀的偏光显示特性分析

讨论了液晶光阀的偏光扭曲向列性效应, 分析了液晶光阀中液晶分子在交流电场作用下重新取向后的扭曲, 测量了TB3639型液晶光阀在特定的频率连续改变外加交流电压条件下,液晶分子重新取向后的扭曲角度以及液晶光阀的电光特性。测量结果表明,在外加电压连续改变时,入射线偏振光的透射率呈现连续非线性变化,这种非线性变化可以由液晶分子的扭曲量来改变。同时液晶分子180°的扭曲使得液晶光阀具有较陡的电光特性曲线,这对于多通道矩阵寻址方式的液晶光阀而言在矩阵显示中可有更多的通道寻址线和更高的对比度。     

双螺旋叠栅条纹检测光束准直性的两种方法

介绍双螺旋叠栅条纹检测光束准直性的基本原理,进一步就双螺旋叠栅条纹的特征参量与被测光束发散角(即光束准直精度)的关系进行分析和推导。在分析双螺旋叠栅条纹进行时,首先采用频域低通滤波提取纯叠栅条纹,然后提取纯叠栅条纹的特征参量。提出两种特征参量的提取方法,一种依次进行傅里叶变换计算相位信息的傅里叶变换方法,另一种是受传统时间相移算法启发而提出的空间相移算法,讨论了在两种方法中极坐标的重采样问题和相应的计算公式,并进行了计算机模拟。结果表明,傅里叶变换方法和空间相移算法实质都是获取叠栅条纹全场趋势的平均值,使最终光束发散角的检测具有很高的精度,对自成像条纹周期的检测误差在±2.8‰以内。

初始模型对含噪动态光散射数据正则化反演结果的影响

分别采用最小模型矩阵、最平坦模型矩阵、最光滑模型矩阵作为初始化模型,对加入5种不同水平随机噪声的90 nm窄单峰、90 nm宽单峰和250 nm窄单峰、250 nm宽单峰颗粒体系的模拟分布进行了正则化反演,并对反演结果进行比较。结果表明：当噪声水平为0时,正则化初始模型的选择对反演结果没有明显影响。随着噪声水平的增加,采用三种初始化模型反演得到的峰值误差和粒度分布误差都随之变大,但采用最平坦模型和最光滑模型反演得到的峰值和粒度分布误差明显小于采用最小初始模型的反演误差。当噪声水平大于0.01时,选择最平坦初始模型获得的粒度分布结果优于采用最光滑初始模型和最小初始模型获得的结果,而采用最光滑初始模型反演得到的峰值优于最平坦初始模型和最小初始模型的反演峰值。因此,采用正则化算法处理含噪动态光散射数据时,为得到最优的粒度分布信息,宜采用最平坦初始模型,若需要获取最准确的峰值信息,则应选择最光滑初始模型。     

A new concept of white light generation using a nano-waveguide for the solar radiation collection use

We propose a novel system of a nano-waveguide that can be used to generate the continuous optical spectrum, i.e. white light. A system consists of two micro-ring resonators and a nano-ring resonator that can be integrated into a single system. The large bandwidth signal is generated using a soliton pulse propagating within a Kerr-type nonlinear medium, whereas the continuous bandwidth or wavelength of light signal can be performed. Results obtained have shown the potential of using such a system for white light source generation and amplification, which is discussed. The amplified pulse can be stored within a nano-waveguide, which is allowed to form the continuous spectrum after amplification. Alternatively, the low-level solar radiation can be amplified, and the bandwidth signals can also be enlarged.     

The analysis of spatial light to Bragg fiber coupling ratio

On the basis of the electromagnetic field mode matching theory, the coupling efficiency ratio from spatial light to Bragg fiber is analyzed, which shows that the coupling efficiency ratio is related to the radius of focused facular, the core radius of Bragg fiber and wave number of the core. By optimizing the value of such parameters appropriately, the Bragg fiber coupling efficiency ratio can be improved. It is also important for the analysis of the coupling efficiency of Bragg fiber, which can be applied to the free optical communication system and laser radar system.     

300～1100nm多波段成像光学系统设计及杂光分析

设计了一套300～1100nm多波段光学系统,该系统能对目标的近紫外、可见光和近红外3个波段同时成像,可满足目标多波段信息探测的要求。由于在光学系统中镜筒内壁反射和棱镜表面反射会产生杂光和鬼像,因此,利用Light—Tools软件对此系统的杂光和鬼像进行了模拟分析。模拟结果表明,视场之外11．7—18．3°和-11．7～-18．3°的入射光线被胶合棱镜上下表面反射后,会聚焦到3个探测器靶面范围内,形成鬼像;6．2°-9．8°和一6．2°--9．8°的入射光线被镜筒反射后会在3个探测器上形成杂光。利用设计的多波段光学系统进行了相关实验,结果证明了模拟分析的正确性,表明此分析能用于指导多波段光学系统的设计和研制。提出了减少杂光和鬼像的相应措施,实验结果验证了提出的措施能够减少杂光及消除鬼像,提高系统成像质量。
