垂直外腔面发射半导体激光器的双波长调控研究

报道了一种结构紧凑的垂直外腔面发射激光器（Vertical-External-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser,VECSEL）及其双波长调控。通过调控泵浦光功率,实现了VECSEL输出的两个激光波长之间的相互转换,双波长的间隔接近50 nm。VECSEL的输出功率曲线呈现明显的两次翻转,翻转点对应了激射波长的转换。这是由于泵浦功率变化改变了增益芯片内部的温度,进而通过热调谐使得发光区增益峰值被调谐到腔模的不同位置。在0℃时,每个激射波长的最大输出功率都在1.5 W以上。随着泵浦功率的改变,激射波长可以在950 nm和1000 nm之间切换,同时还可以在1.5 W以上的功率水平下实现双波长同时激射。这种可切换波长及双波长同时激射的VECSEL器件在光调制、差频等领域有较大应用潜力。     

Material profile influences in bulk‐heterojunctions

The morphology in mixed bulk‐heterojunction films are compared using three different quantitative measurement techniques. We compare the vertical composition changes using high‐angle annular dark‐field scanning transmission electron microscopy with electron tomography and neutron and x‐ray reflectometry. The three measurement techniques yield qualitatively comparable vertical concentration measurements. The presence of a metal cathode during thermal annealing is observed to alter the fullerene concentration throughout the thickness of the film for all measurements. However, the absolute vertical concentration of fullerene is quantitatively different for the three measurements. The origin of the quantitative measurement differences is discussed. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part B: Polym. Phys. 2014 , 52, 1291–1300     

Dynamic release process of pollutants during suspended sediment transport in aquatic system

Pollutants release is highly consistent with suspended sediment concentration （SSC） in water column, especially during re-suspension and transport events. The present research focuses on pollutant dynamic release from re-suspended sediment, especially the vertical distribution relationship between them. The sediment erosion experiments on a series of uniform flow are conducted in a circulate flume. Reactive tracer （phosphorus） is used as the contaminant in fine-grained sediments to identify the release characteristic length and time. Experimental results show that the flow condition near-bed depends on the sediment surface roughness. The region with high turbulent intensities corresponds to a high concentration sediment layer. In addition, the SSC decreases with the distance, water depth, and particle grain size. The sediment in a smaller grain size takes much more time to reach equilibrium concentration. Total phosphorus （TP） concentration changes along the water depth as SSC in the initial re-suspension stage, appearing in two obvious concentration regimes： the upper low-concentration layer and the high-concentration near-bottom layer. This layered phenomenon remains for about 3 hours until SSC distri- bution tends to be uniform. Longitudinal desorption plays an important role in long-way transport to reduce the amount of suspended sediment in water column.     

Fabrication of photoluminescent liquid crystal device using an in situ self-assembled molecular layer of a pyrene derivative

An in situ self-assembled molecular layer of 1-pyrenesulfonic acid sodium salt as an alignment agent was formed on indium tin oxide substrates for vertically aligning liquid crystals (LCs). The thus-aligned LCs exhibited uniform vertical alignment under crossed polarisers. The electro-optical characteristic of the LC cell fabricated using this method exhibited better performance than those of conventional LC cells with a polyimide alignment layer. Because the proposed alignment method is a simple one and involves low concentrations of the alignment agent (0.05 wt%), it is highly cost-effective. Further, the pyrene derivative, when mixed with LCs, exhibited photoluminescence (PL) under ultraviolet light. Given that the proposed method resulted in highly vertically aligned LCs and the alignment agent exhibited PL, the method should find wide use in the fabrication of colour-filter-free LC displays.     

Fast switching of vertically aligned negative liquid crystals by optically hidden relaxation

We propose a method for fast switching of vertically aligned (VA) negative liquid crystals (LCs) by hiding the relaxation process of LCs. During the turn-off process, a strong in-plane electric field is applied for a short duration of time instead of relying solely on the slow relaxation of LCs. The LC molecules are rotated to the transmission axis of one of the polarisers by the applied in-plane electric field, resulting in turn-off switching that is 5.8 times faster than that of a conventional VA cell. By applying an overdriving scheme, we experimentally obtained a total response time of 3.3 ms.     

Liquid crystalline properties of 4‐hexyloxybenzylidene‐4′‐alkyloxyanilines

The liquid‐crystalline polymorphism of the homologous series of 4‐hexyloxybenzylidene‐4′‐alkyloxyanilines is investigated. Basing on the polarization microscopy (POM, TOA), the DSC calorimetry and miscibility studies the following mesophases were detected: nematic, smectic A, smectic C and smectic I. The phase diagrams of the compounds of these series with 4‐hexyloxybenylidene‐4′‐pentylaniline (as the standard of mesophases) show induction of the smectic F mesophases. Their dependence on the alkyl chain length and mole fraction is shown.     

平板电视机安全检测中垂直力试验的研究

电视机对应的安全标准GB8898/IEC60065中的第19.2条有“在任意一个伸出或凹进的水平表面上的任何一点,以能产生最大倾倒力矩的方式施加100N垂直向下的力,只要从该点到防滑表面的距离不超过75cm”的要求,经分析认为该试验不适用于平板电视机。与上述试验相关的CTL决议1082中用平板电视机作为图示样品并不适宜,该决议只是解释了最不利位置的问题。     

聚酰亚胺主链结构对液晶取向膜性能的影响

采用一步法,以N,N-二(4-氨基苯基)-4-(十二烷氧基联苯基)-4’-氨基苯醚(C12-BAAPE)为控制预倾角的功能性二胺,2,2’-双三氟甲基-4,4’-联苯二胺(TFDB)或4,4’-二氨基二苯醚(ODA)为辅助二胺,分别与2,2’-双(3,4-二羧苯基)六氟丙烷四羧酸二酐(6FDA)和4,4’-联苯醚二酐(ODPA)聚合,得到三种主链结构不同的聚酰亚胺(PI-1、PI-2和PI-3)。利用NMR、FT-IR、DSC、TGA、偏光显微镜和预倾角测试仪对聚合物的结构、热性能以及制备的液晶盒的取向性进行了表征,同时测试了3种PI的溶解性能。结果表明,PI-2液晶取向膜的耐摩擦性能明显优于PI-1和PI-3,且具有更高的玻璃化转变温度(Tg)和分解温度(Td),更好的溶解性能。分子模拟(MS)表明,由于PI-2分子主链垂直构象的存在,增加了分子链的刚性,因而提高了取向膜的耐摩擦性能。     

Synthesis and properties of new materials with banana-shaped achiral cores and chiral end groups

New chiral bent-core mesogens, derivatives of 1,3-phenylene bis[4-(alkanyloxyphenyliminomethyl)benzoate], were synthesized with variation of a substituent (X=F, Cl); their antiferroelectric properties are described. The mesomorphic and switching properties were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy, triangular wave method, and X-ray diffractometry in the small and wide angle regions. The presence of chiral tails at the terminals of side wings in the bent-core molecules induced a decrease in transition temperature and formation of the switchable SmC* phase in the melt. In addition, the introduction of a lateral halogen substituent in the Schiff's base moiety prevented the regular stacking of the molecules, resulting in the formation of very complex optical textures. The smectic phase with F-substituted PBFDOB and Cl-substituted PBCDOB showed layer spacings of 39 and 38.5?Å, respectively, corresponding to the end-to-end distance of molecules with a bent conformation. Significantly, the smectic phases of PBFDOB and PBCDOB exhibited a period of 179.5 and 131?Å, respectively, compatible with a helical structure with periodicity about 4.6 and 3.4 times the layer spacings.
