Stable and compact nanosecond pulse seed source with diode laser driven by a high-speed circuit and a temperature control circuit
摘要： We demonstrated a nanosecond pulse seed source with a diode laser (DL) of 1550 nm A short pulse generator and a short pulse driver came to form a high-speed circuit that drove the seed source. A temperature control circuit was employed to control the stability of the laser pulses. The experimental results provided that continuously adjustable 5 kHz to 25 MHz repetition frequency and 3.5 ns to 51 ns pulse duration were acquired. The ?ne tuning of pulse duration of seed signals was realized by adjusting the current of the laser in its operating current range. Stability of the output power over two hours was 0.13% at repetition frequency of 25 MHz and pulse duration of 3.5 ns, respectively.

Study on a high-temperature optical fiber F–P acceleration sensing system based on MEMS
摘要： Vibration measurement at high temperature is of great signi?cance to monitoring the operation of major projects and mechanical equipment. As the temperature resistance of electrical vibration sensors is usually below 600 °C, it cannot meet the requirements of some high-temperature measuring conditions. This paper studies a high-temperature Fabry–Perot (F–P) acceleration sensing system with general single-mode ?ber. A high-temperature sensitive diaphragm is machined based on micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) technology and it is combined with the ?ber microstructure to enable the sensing probe to be packaged under high temperatures. According to the temperature characteristic of the length of the F–P cavity, a signal demodulation system was proposed based on the rapid automatic tracking of the quiescent operation point. The complete optical ?ber F–P acceleration sensing system conducted real-time vibration detection of high temperature casting in the foundry factory. The experimental result indicates that the optical ?ber high-temperature acceleration sensor showed a better vibration response in the working frequency of 100–1000 Hz and the relative error of the frequency measurement is less than 1.56% under normal temperatures and a high temperature of 800 °C.

Fluorescence microscope light source stability
摘要： The process of fluorescence starts with the efficient generation of light that is required for the excitation of fluorophores. As such, light sources are a crucial component of a fluorescence microscope. Choosing the right illumination tool can not only improve the quality of experimental results, but also the microscope’s economic and environmental footprint. While arc lamps have historically proven to be a reliable light source for widefield fluorescence microscopy, solid-state light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have become the light source of choice for new fluorescence microscopy systems. In this paper, we demonstrate that LEDs have superior light stability on all timescales tested and use less electrical power than traditional light sources when used at lower power outputs. They can be readily switched on and off electronically, have a longer lifetime and they do not contain mercury, and thus are better for the environment. We demonstrate that it is important to measure light source power output during warm-up and switching, as a light source’s responsiveness (in terms of power) can be quite variable. Several general protocols for testing light source stability are presented. A detailed life cycle analysis shows that an LED light source can have a fourfold lower environmental impact when compared to a metal halide source.

Ultra-flexible perovskite solar cells with crumpling durability: toward a wearable power source
摘要： Perovskite materials hold great potential as photovoltaic power sources for portable devices owing to their mechanical flexibility and high performance; however, the flexibility and e?ciency require further improvement to attain practical viability. We investigated the mechanical fracture behavior of polycrystalline perovskite films by varying the substrate thickness and applying the neutral plane concept. This enabled us to fabricate a crack-free perovskite film on an ultra-thin substrate (B2.5 mm) and to demonstrate ultra-flexible solar cells with high e?ciency (17.03%) with unprecedented flexibility sustained after 10 000 cycles of bending at a 0.5 mm radius. This represents a high e?ciency of 13.6% for large-area flexible perovskite solar cells (1.2 cm2), fabricated by using a hybrid transparent electrode composed of a metal mesh grid and conducting polymer. Using a protective layer to achieve the neutral plane concept, our ultra-flexible perovskite solar cells are demonstrated to be durable even after 100 crumpling cycles. Our approach paves the way to fabricate flexible perovskite solar cells for portable power sources.

Mercury Free Microscopy: An Opportunity for Core Facility Directors
摘要： Mercury Free Microscopy (MFM) is a new movement that encourages microscope owners to choose modern mercury free light sources to replace more traditional mercury based arc lamps. Microscope performance is enhanced with new solid state technologies because they offer a more stable light intensity output and have a more uniform light output across the visible spectrum. Solid state sources not only eliminate mercury but also eliminate the cost of consumable bulbs (lifetime (cid:2)200 hours), use less energy, reduce the instrument down time when bulbs fail and reduce the staff time required to replace and align bulbs. With lifetimes on the order of tens of thousands of hours, solid state replacements can pay for themselves over their lifetime with the omission of consumable, staff (no need to replace and align bulbs) and energy costs. Solid state sources are also sustainable and comply with institutional and government body mandates to reduce energy consumption, carbon footprints and hazardous waste. MFM can be used as a mechanism to access institutional ?nancial resources for sustainable technology through a variety of stakeholders to defray the cost to microscope owners for the initial purchase of solid state sources or the replacement cost of mercury based sources. Core facility managers can take a lead in this area as “green” ambassadors for their institution by championing a local MFM program that will save their institution money and energy and eliminate mercury from the waste stream. Managers can leverage MFM to increase the visibility of their facility, their impact within the institution, and as a vital educational resource for scienti?c and administrative consultation.

Design and preliminary experiment of radial sheet beam terahertz source based on radial pseudospark discharge
摘要： To satisfy the demands for compact, inexpensive terahertz (THz) sources with power of hundreds of watts, a radial sheet beam THz source which doesn't require an external magnetic field and is driven by a radial pseudospark discharge plasma electron gun (PSDP-EGUN) is proposed. Radial design has been used in pseudospark switches, but in this paper the design of a PSDP-EGUN to drive a radial THz source is presented for the first time. Being different from the latest reported axial quasi-rectangular sheet beam THz sources driven by an axial PSDP-EGUN, a new design consisting of a circular plate-shaped sheet beam that is directly generated by the radial PSDP-EGUN is reported. As compared to an axial system, the radial configuration may result in a larger beam current and a larger beam-wave interaction area together with a higher potential of THz output power. Theoretical analysis and particle-in-cell simulation have been employed in the design of the radial sheet beam THz source. Output powers in the kilowatt range have been observed in the simulation of this 0.22 THz source. Preliminary experimental results of the radial PSDP-EGUN are also presented.

Non-ionized, High-resolution Measurement of Internal and Marginal Discrepancies of Dental Prosthesis Using Optical Coherence Tomography
摘要： An internal and marginal fit between prosthesis and abutment are important factors of the durability of dental prosthesis. In this study we have proposed the use of swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) as a novel application for non-ionized and high-resolution measurements of internal and marginal discrepancies at anatomically critical four points, such as occlusal, angle, axial, and margin during prosthesis attachment. A tooth model was fabricated by 3D printing technique and the dental prosthesis was designed using dental CAD software. The cross-sectional images along with intensity peak profile analysis of the sample were acquired using OCT system for measurements of fit. The demonstrated qualitative and quantitative evaluations can be well-utilized for assessment of the internal and marginal fit of dental prosthesis.

Multi-source Remote Sensing Image Registration Based on Contourlet Transform and Multiple Feature Fusion
摘要： Image registration is an indispensable component in multi-source remote sensing image processing. In this paper, we put forward a remote sensing image registration method by including an improved multi-scale and multi-direction Harris algorithm and a novel compound feature. Multi-scale circle Gaussian combined invariant moments and multi-direction gray level co-occurrence matrix are extracted as features for image matching. The proposed algorithm is evaluated on numerous multi-source remote sensor images with noise and illumination changes. Extensive experimental studies prove that our proposed method is capable of receiving stable and even distribution of key points as well as obtaining robust and accurate correspondence matches. It is a promising scheme in multi-source remote sensing image registration.

Preparation of high-quality stress-free (001) aluminum nitride thin film using a dual Kaufman ion-beam source setup
摘要： We proposed and demonstrated a preparation method of (001) preferentially oriented stress-free AlN piezoelectric thin films. The AlN thin films were deposited by a reactive sputtering technique at substrate temperatures up to 330 °C using a dual Kaufman ion-beam source setup. We deposited the AlN on Si (100), Si (111), amorphous SiO2, and a (001) preferentially oriented Ti thin film and compared their crystallographic, optical, and piezoelectric properties. The AlN thin films deposited on the (001) preferentially oriented Ti thin films have the highest crystallographic quality. The stress-free AlN reached a high value of the piezoelectric coefficient d33 = (7.33 ± 0.08) pC·N?1. The properties of the AlN thin film prepared at such low temperatures are suitable for numerous microelectromechanical systems, piezoelectric sensors, and actuators monolithically integrated with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor signal-processing circuits.

Tris(N-methylferrocenyl-N-(2-phenylethyl)dithiocarbamato-S,S′)cobalt(III) for anion sensing and preparation of cobalt-iron sulfide nanoparticles: A new photocatalyst for the degradation of dyes
摘要： Tris(N-(pyrrol-2-ylmethyl)-N-butyldithiocarbamato-S,S')cobalt(III) (1) and tris(N-methylferrocenyl-N-(2-phenylethyl)dithiocarbamato-S,S')cobalt(III) (2) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopy (IR, UV-vis and NMR). The elemental analysis and IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectra are consistent with the formation of the cobalt(III) complexes with dithiocarbamate ligands. The anion binding properties of 1 and 2 based on host-guest interaction have been examined with the use of cyclic voltammetry.This study showed that both complexes preferred to bind with I- compared to other halides. 2 has been used as precursors for the preparation of cobalt-iron sulfide nanoparticles. TEM image of cobalt-iron sulfide nanoparticles showed that the particles are spherical. The elemental compositions of the nanoparticles were confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. IR spectral studies on nanoparticles confirm the presence of capping agent (triethylenetetramine). The nanoparticles were explored as photocatalysts to study the degradation of dyes using methylene blue and rhodamine-B in aqueous solution under UV irradiation. The cobalt-iron sulfide works as an efficient photocatalyst for degradation of rhodamine-B.
