Laser-induced fluorescence microscopic system using an optical parametric oscillator for tunable detection in microchip analysis

A laser-induced fluorescence microscopic system based on optical parametric oscillation has been constructed as a tunable detector for microchip analysis. The detection limit of sulforhodamine B (Ex. 520 nm, Em. 570 nm) was 0.2 mol, which was approximately eight orders of magnitude better than with a conventional fluorophotometer. The system was applied to the determination of fluorescence-labeled DNA (Ex. 494 nm, Em. 519 nm) in a microchannel and the detection limit reached a single molecule. These results showed the feasibility of this system as a highly sensitive and tunable fluorescence detector for microchip analysis.     

Cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals for ultraviolet and blue light blocking

Using cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals, CsPb(Cl/Br)_3, as a light absorber, we report a highly effective UV and blue light blocking film. The CsPb(Cl/Br)_3 nanocrystals are well dispersed in the ethyl cellulose(EC) matrix to compose a UV and blue light shielding film, and the absorption edge of the film is tunable by adjusting Cl to Br ratio using anion exchange. The CsPbCl_2 Br-EC film exhibits a transmittance of 5% at 459 nm, 90% at 478 nm and 95% in the range of 500–800 nm, which makes it excellent for UV and blue light shielding. In addition, the as-prepared EC-CsPb(Cl/Br)_3 film shows excellent photostability under UV irradiation. Results demonstrate that this EC-CsPb(Cl/Br)_3 based materials with sharp absorbance edges, tunable blocking wavelength, and high photostability can be useful for the applications in UV and blue light blocking and optical filters     

Development of a stabilized low temperature infrared absorption cell for use in low temperature and collisional cooling experiments

We have constructed a stabilized low temperature infrared absorption cell cooled by an open cycle refrigerator, which can run with liquid nitrogen from 250 to 80K or with liquid helium from 80K to a few kelvin. Several CO infrared spectra were recorded at low temperature using a tunable diode laser spectrometer. These spectra were analyzed taking into account the detailed effects of collisions on the line profile when the pressure increases. We also recorded spectra at very low pressure to accurately model the diode laser emission. Spectra of the R(2) line in the fundamental band of 13CO cooled by collisions with helium buffer gas at 10.5K and at pressures near 1 Torr have been recorded. The He-pressure broadening parameter (gamma(0) = 0.3 cm(-1) atm(-1)) has been derived from the simultaneous analysis of four spectra at different pressures.

Deep Image Steganography Using Transformer and Recursive Permutation

Image steganography, which usually hides a small image (hidden image or secret image) in a large image (carrier) so that the crackers cannot feel the existence of the hidden image in the carrier, has become a hot topic in the community of image security. Recent deep-learning techniques have promoted image steganography to a new stage. To improve the performance of steganography, this paper proposes a novel scheme that uses the Transformer for feature extraction in steganography. In addition, an image encryption algorithm using recursive permutation is proposed to further enhance the security of secret images. We conduct extensive experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. We reveal that the Transformer is superior to the compared state-of-the-art deep-learning models in feature extraction for steganography. In addition, the proposed image encryption algorithm has good attributes for image security, which further enhances the performance of the proposed scheme of steganography.     

一种自适应层进式Savitzky‐Golay光谱滤波算法及其应用

可调谐半导体激光吸收光谱技术（TDLAS）利用半导体激光器的可调谐和窄线宽特性,通过选择特定气体的单条吸收线,排除其余气体的干扰,可以实现高精度、高选择性的气体浓度测量,在气体浓度检测系统中具有广泛的应用前景。在不同的应用条件和环境下,需要解决相应的硬件和数据处理方面的技术问题。主要研究TDLAS技术机动车尾气CO组分浓度遥测系统中的光谱数据处理问题,该系统利用路面漫反射回波信号遥测行驶中的机动车尾气CO组分浓度。由于激光扫描光谱回波信号受到漫反射面情况变化、空气环境变化、尾气湍流影响等因素影响,探测器收集到的信号不仅较弱同时也夹杂着多种噪声, 即测量光路信噪比较差, 故提出一种自适应层进式Savitzky-Golay(S-G)平滑滤波算法,实现了对光谱进行滤波处理从而更加准确地反演CO浓度。S-G滤波算法因其原理简单、功能强大、只需设置两个参数（窗口大小、拟合阶数）等优点,已广泛应用于光谱处理。如何正确设置S-G算法参数使滤波效果在去噪不足和过度滤波之间找到平衡点,是该滤波算法应用的一大难题。设计的检测系统中,测量光路光谱信号为非平稳信号,噪声和有效信号幅度时变,最佳窗口大小和多项式阶数随信号动态而变化,且变化区间较大,使用固定参数的S-G滤波器难以达到最佳效果。提出的自适应层进式S-G平滑滤波算法,通过逐层将测量光路光谱信号经过S-G滤波后,与参考光路的光谱信号设置的参考段比对信号相关系数和信号一阶导相关系数的和,以自适应得到逐层最优参数。通过对信噪比从9.81～29.77的10组不同带噪光谱分析验证了该算法的有效性,自适应层进式S-G算法能较好地去除噪声并还原带噪信号所携带的待测气体浓度信息,与带噪光谱对比,吸收光谱峰值最大误差由25.152%降至5.917%,积分吸光度最大误差由18.1%降至3.9%。在实现的系统中,使用自适应层进式S-G算法对测量光路进行滤波处理,并对不同车型、不同排量、燃烧不同油品的机动车在怠速和缓速通过(5 km·h-1)系统时其排放的CO浓度进行实时在线监测。     

双极性固态直线变压器驱动器的研制

在针对脉冲电磁场肿瘤消融的应用场合,双极性脉冲比单极性脉冲效果更均匀,而要产生ns级前沿的双极性高压纳秒或亚微秒脉冲难度大,电磁干扰强,控制要求更高。设计了一台双极性全固态直线型变压器驱动源(SSLTD),双极性SSLTD由结构完全相同的LTD模块经过副边绕组反向串联构成,在负载上实现双极性窄脉冲。双极性SSLTD输出波形稳定的脉冲的关键在于磁芯复位,通过电阻负载实验,重点对比分析了复位电流的形式对复位效果的影响,以及采用直流复位时幅值、脉宽、正负脉冲时间间隔、单级模块中开关管并联数量、复位电流大小对双极性SSLTD输出的影响。实验结果表明,所设计的双极性SSLTD能够在500 Ω负载上稳定产生重频双极性纳秒脉冲,输出电压0～±5 kV可调,脉宽200～400 ns可调,正负脉冲时间间隔0～1 ms可调,上升沿和下降沿20～50 ns;反向串联的直流复位电路结构简单、复位效果好。该脉冲源使用模块化设计,结构紧凑,电气绝缘要求较低,可灵活输出双极性、正极性与负极性高压亚微秒脉冲。     

Interference of Transformer oil Matrices to the Internal Standards on PCB Quantification

Abstract

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are toxic, perssstent, global environmental contaminants which were formulated as complex mixtures of congeners. Many methods have been developed in the past to analyze PCB in transformer oil samples for regulatory purposes. The most important consideration in the cleanup procedure is the ability to remove the oil from the sample matrix, since trace amount of oil will interfere with the subsequent GC-MS analysis. Electron capture detection (ECD) has been the most common method for gas chromatographic analysis of PCBs because of its high sensitivity toward halogenated compounds. ECD can also respond to some non-PCB compound resulting in biased concentrations of PCB. In this work, a two-stage cleanup method, using DMSO liquid/liquid extraction and HPLC column chromatography. has been applied to two types of transformer oil. Five internal standards have been selected to show their performance in the presence of different oil matrices. The comparison of the PCB quantification at different conditions for GC-MS and GC-ECD will be demonstrated.     

Tuneable Sagnac comb filter including two wave retarders

In this paper we study theoretically and experimentally a wavelength-tuneable Sagnac birefringence filter. The device is a Sagnac interferometer including a symmetric fibre coupler and a length of high-birefringence fibre in the loop. A wave retarder is inserted at each end of the birefringent fibre for absolute wavelength tuning. We show theoretically that wavelength tuning through wave plate orientation ensuring constant amplitude of the filtering function is possible only if a minimum of two wave retarders are included in the setup. The position of the transmission peaks then varies linearly with the angle of one of the retarders and can be adjusted over one entire channel spacing. This happens only when a quarter-wave retarder and a half-wave retarder are used, if the former is oriented at 45° with respect to the fibre birefringence axes, while the orientation of the latter serves as the adjustment parameter. The theoretical predictions are confirmed by the experimental results.     

The Effect of Temperature on GPC for the Separation of PCBs from Transformer Oil and Subsequent Analysis by GC-MSD

Abstract

The analysis of PCBs often involves lengthy and expensive cleanup procedures to remove interferences associated with environmental sample matrices. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) has proven to be a useful tool in removing many of these interferences from environmental samples, especially from difficult matrices such as oils, lipids and sediments. This paper describes the effect of temperature upon the GPC column in separating PCBs from transformer oil and its implication on GC-MS analysis.
