Improved spatiotemporal resolution of anti-scattering super-resolution label-free microscopy via synthetic wave 3D metalens imaging

Super-resolution(SR)microscopy has dramatically enhanced our understanding of biological processes.However,scattering media in thick specimens severely limits the spatial resolution,often rendering the images unclear or indistinguishable.Additionally,live-cell imaging faces challenges in achieving high temporal resolution for fast-moving subcellular structures.Here,we present the principles of a synthetic wave microscopy(SWM)to extract three-dimensional information from thick unlabeled specimens,where photobleaching and phototoxicity are avoided.SWM exploits multiple-wave interferometry to reveal the specimen’s phase information in the area of interest,which is not affected by the scattering media in the optical path.SWM achieves~0.42λ/NA resolution at an imaging speed of up to 106 pixels/s.SWM proves better temporal resolution and sensitivity than the most conventional microscopes currently available while maintaining exceptional SR and anti-scattering capabilities.Penetrating through the scattering media is challenging for conventional imaging techniques.Remarkably,SWM retains its efficacy even in conditions of low signal-to-noise ratios.It facilitates the visualization of dynamic subcellular structures in live cells,encompassing tubular endoplasmic reticulum(ER),lipid droplets,mitochondria,and lysosomes.

A Time-Dependent-Density-Functional-Theory Study of Charge Transfer Processes of Li^(2+) Colliding with Ar in the MeV Region

We study charge transfer of a multi-electron collision system Li^(2+)+ Ar using the time-dependent density functional theory non-adiabatically coupled to the molecular dynamics.By implementing the particle number projection method,the single-and double-charge transfer cross sections are extracted at MeV energies,which are in good agreement with the experimental data available.The analysis of charge transfer probabilities shows that for energies higher than 1.0 MeV,the single-charge transfer occurs for a broader range of impact parameters,while the double-charge transfer is dominated by close collisions.To gain the population of captured electrons on the projectile,we compute the orbital projection probabilities.It is found that the electrons of the Ar atom will most possibly transfer to the 2p orbitals of the Li^(2+),and only a small portion of captured electrons distribute on the s orbitals.This work verifies the capability of the present methodology in dealing with charge transfer in dressed ion collisions at Me V energies.

Mural Anomaly Region Detection Algorithm Based on Hyperspectral Multiscale Residual Attention Network

Mural paintings hold significant historical information and possess substantial artistic and cultural value.However,murals are inevitably damaged by natural environmental factors such as wind and sunlight,as well as by human activities.For this reason,the study of damaged areas is crucial for mural restoration.These damaged regions differ significantly from undamaged areas and can be considered abnormal targets.Traditional manual visual processing lacks strong characterization capabilities and is prone to omissions and false detections.Hyperspectral imaging can reflect the material properties more effectively than visual characterization methods.Thus,this study employs hyperspectral imaging to obtain mural information and proposes a mural anomaly detection algorithm based on a hyperspectral multi-scale residual attention network(HM-MRANet).The innovations of this paper include:(1)Constructing mural painting hyperspectral datasets.(2)Proposing a multi-scale residual spectral-spatial feature extraction module based on a 3D CNN(Convolutional Neural Networks)network to better capture multiscale information and improve performance on small-sample hyperspectral datasets.(3)Proposing the Enhanced Residual Attention Module(ERAM)to address the feature redundancy problem,enhance the network’s feature discrimination ability,and further improve abnormal area detection accuracy.The experimental results show that the AUC(Area Under Curve),Specificity,and Accuracy of this paper’s algorithm reach 85.42%,88.84%,and 87.65%,respectively,on this dataset.These results represent improvements of 3.07%,1.11%and 2.68%compared to the SSRN algorithm,demonstrating the effectiveness of this method for mural anomaly detection.

Highly Sensitive Photodetectors Based on WS_(2) Quantum Dots/GaAs Heterostructures

The performance of the photodetector is significantly impacted by the inherent surface faults in GaAs nanowires(NWs).We combined three-dimensional(3D)gallium arsenide nanowires with zero-dimensional(0D)WS_(2) quantum dot(QDs)materials in a simple and convenient way to form a heterogeneous structure.Various performance enhancements have been realized through the formation of typeⅡenergy bands in heterostructures,opening up new research directions for the future development of photodetector devices.This work successfully fabricated a high-sensitivity photodetector based on WS_(2)QDs/GaAs NWs heterostructure.Under 660 nm laser excitation,the photodetector exhibits a responsivity of 368.07 A/W,a detectivity of 2.7×10^(12)Jones,an external quantum efficiency of 6.47×10^(2)%,a low-noise equivalent power of 2.27×10^(-17)W·Hz^(-1/2),a response time of 0.3 s,and a recovery time of 2.12 s.This study provides a new solution for the preparation of high-performance GaAs detectors and promotes the development of optoelectronic devices for GaAs NWs.

一种用于大视场成像和偏振光谱探测的微型可重构超构光学系统

Wide-angle imaging and spectral detection play vital roles in tasks such as target tracking,object classification,and anti-camouflage.However,limited by their intrinsically different architectures,as determined by frequency dispersion requirements,their simultaneous implementation in a shared-aperture system is difficult.Here,we propose a novel concept to realize reconfigurable dual-mode detection based on electrical-control tunable metasurfaces.As a proof-of-concept demonstration,the simultaneous implementation of wide-angle imaging and polarization-spectral detection in a miniature sharedaperture meta-optical system is realized for the first time via the electrical control of cascaded catenary-like metasurfaces.The proposed system supports the imaging(spectral)resolution of approximately 27.8 line-pairs per millimeter(lp·mm^(-1);~80 nm)for an imaging(spectral)mode from 8 to 14 μm.This system also bears a large field of view of about 70°,enabling multi-target recognition in both modes.This work may promote the miniaturization of multifunctional optical systems,including spectrometers and polarization imagers,and illustrates the potential industrial applications of meta-optics in biomedicine,security,space exploration,and more.

Measurements of non-equilibrium and equilibrium temperature behind a strong shock wave in simulated martian atmosphere

Non-equilibrium radiation measurements behind strong shock wave for simulated Martian atmosphere are presented in this paper. The shock wave is established in a hydrogen oxygen combustion driven shock tube. Time- resolved spectra of the Av = 0 sequence of the B^2∑^＋ → X^2∑^＋ electronic transition of CN have been observed through optical emission spectroscopy （OES）. A new method, which is based on fitting high resolution spectrum for rotational and vibrational temperatures measurement, is proposed to diag- nose temperature distribution behind the shock wave. It is estimated that the current scheme has the maximum deviation less than 8% （lσ） for vibrational temperature measurement through detailed analysis of the influence of the uncertainties of spectroscopic constants and spectral resolution. Radiation structure of the shock layer, including induction, relaxation and equilibrium process, and corresponding rotational and vibrational temperatures are obtained through time gating OES diagnostics with sub-microsecond temporal resolution. The present extensive results will strongly benefit the reaction rate estimation and computational fluid dynamics （CFD） code validation in high enthalpy Mars reentry chemistry.

Corrosion and Fatigue Testing of Microsized 304 Stainless Steel Beams Fabricated by Femtosecond Laser

The 304 stainless steel （SS） microcantilever specimens with dimensions of 30 #m ×30 #m ×50 #m （thicknessx width × length） were fabricated by femtosecond （fs） laser. The microsized cantilevers of good quality with structure and dimensions according commendably with that of the designed cantilever were obtained. The result shows that fs laser micromachining is a promising method for directly fabricating metallic microcomponents. Corrosion and fatigue properties of microsized specimens were carried out on the microsized 304 SS cantilever beams by a newly developed fatigue testing machine. The results show that the microsized 304 SS specimens appear to have an improved resistance towards localized corrosion compared to ordinary-sized 304 SS specimens after the static corrosion testing. The testing result shows that the presence of corrosive solution reduces the fatigue lifetime of the 304 SS specimen by a factor of 10-100. The maximum bending loads measured by fatigue testing machine decrease rapidly at the terminal stage of environment assisted fatigue testing. Corrosion fracture first occurred at the range of notch with a higher tensile bending stress, and exhibited clear evidence of trans-columnar fracture detected by SEM （scanning electron microscopy）.

Effect of ion-beam assisted deposition on the film stresses of TiO_2 and SiO_2 and stress control

Based on Hartmann-Shack sensor technique, an online thin film stress measuring system was introduced to measure the film stresses of TiO2 and SiO2, and comparison was made between the film stresses prepared respectively by the conventional process and the ion-beam assisted deposition. The effect of ion-beam assisted deposition on the film stresses of TiO2 and SiO2 was investigated in details, and the stress control methodologies using on-line adjustment and film doping were put forward. The results show that the film stress value of TiO2 prepared by ion-beam assisted deposition is 40 MPa lower than that prepared by conventional process, and the stress of TiO2 film changes gradually from tensile stress into compressive stress with increasing ion energy; while the film stress of SiO2 is a tensile stress under ion-beam assisted deposition because of the ion-beam sputtering effect, and the film refractive index decreases with increasing ion energy. A dynamic film stress control can be achieved through in-situ adjustment of the processing parameters based on the online film stress measuring technique, and the intrinsic stress of film can be effectively changed through film doping.

Effects of SiO_2 and TiO_2 on resistance stabilities of flexible indium-tin-oxide films prepared by ion assisted deposition

Inorganic buffer layers such as SiO2 or TiO2 and transparent conductive indium-tin-oxide （ITO） films were prepared on polyethylene terephthalate （PET） substrates by ion assisted deposition （IAD） at room temperature, and the effects of SiO2 and TiOzon the bending resistance performance of flexible ITO films were investigated. The results show that ITO films with SiO2 or TiO2 buffer layer have better resistance stabilities compared to ones without the buffer layer when the ITO films are inwards bent at a bending radius more than 1.2 cm and when the ITO films are outwards bent at a bending radius from 0.8 cm to 1.2 cm. 1TO films with SiO2 buffer layer have better resistance sta- bilities compared to ones with TiO2 buffer layer after the ITO fdms are bent several hundreds of cycles at the same bending radius, for the adhesion of SiO2 is stronger than that of TiO2. The compressive stress resulted from inward bending leads to the formation of more defects in the ITO films compared with the tensile stress arising from outward bending. SiO2 and TiO2 buffer layers can effectively improve the crystallinity of ITO films in （400）, （440） directions.

Suppressing the mechanical quadrature error of a quartz double-H gyroscope through laser trimming

In this paper, we introduce a z-axis quartz gyroscope using a double-H tuning fork, which has a high sensitivity. However, it also causes a large mechanical quadrature error. The laser trimming method is used to suppress this error at quartz level. The trimming law is obtained through the finite element method （FEM）. A femtosecond laser processing system is used to trim the gold balancing masses on the beams, and experimental results are basically consistent with the simulated ones. The mechanical quadrature error is suppressed by 96%, from 26.3° s-1 to 1.1° s-1. Nonlinearity changes from 1.48% to 0.30%, angular random walk （ARW） is reduced from 2.19° h-1/2 to 1.42° h-1/2, and bias instability is improved by a factor of 7.7, from 197.6° h-1 to 25.4° h-1.

Off-axis multi-wavelength dispersion controllingmetalens for multi-color imaging

Dispersion control is crucial in optical systems,and chromatic aberration is an important factor affecting imaging quality in imaging systems.Due to the inherent property of materials,dispersion engineering is complex and needs to trade off other aberration in traditional ways.Although metasurface offers an effective method to overcome these limits and results in well-engineered dispersion,off-axis dispersion control is still a challenging topic.In this paper,we design a single-layer metalens which is capable of focusing at three wavelengths(473 nm,532 nm,and 632 nm)with different incident angles(0°,-17°and 17°)into the same point.We also demonstrate that this metalens can provide an alternative for the bulky color synthetic prism in a 3-chips digital micromirror device(DMD)laser projection system.Through this approach,various off-axis dispersion controlling optical devices could be realized.

Diffusion-induced deflection and the effect of two-wave mixing gain on dissipative photovoltaic solitons

In an open-circuit dissipative photovoltaic （PV） crystal, by considering the diffusion effect, the deflection of bright dissipative photovoltaic （DPV） solitons has been investigated by employing numerical technique and perturbational procedure. The relevant results show that the centre of the optical beam moves along a parabolic trajectory, while the central spatial-frequency component shifts linearly with the propagation distance; furthermore, both the spatial deflection and the angular derivation are associated with the photovoltaic field. Such DPV solitons have a fixed deflection degree completely determined by the parameters of the dissipative system. The small bending cannot affect the formation of the DPV soliton via two-wave mixing.

Higher-Order Line Element Analysis of Potential Field with Slender Heterogeneities

Potential field due to line sources residing on slender heterogeneities is involved in various areas,such as heat conduction,potential flow,and electrostatics.Often dipolar line sources are either prescribed or induced due to close interaction with other objects.Its calculation requires a higher-order scheme to take into account the dipolar effect as well as net source effect.In the present work,we apply such a higher-order line element method to analyze the potential field with cylindrical slender heterogeneities.In a benchmark example of two parallel rods,we compare the line element solution with the boundary element solution to show the accuracy as a function in terms of rods distance.Furthermore,we use more complicated examples to demonstrate the capability of the line element technique.

Mathematical simulations of the galvanic coupling intra-body communication by using the transfer function method

The galvanic coupling intra-body communication （IBC） was mathematically simulated based on the proposed transfer function. Firstly, a galvanic coupling IBC circuit model was developed and the corresponding parameters were discussed. Secondly, the transfer function of the galvanic coupling IBC was derived and proposed. Finally, the signal attenuation characteristics of the galvanic coupling IBC were measured along different signal transmission paths of actual human bodies, while the corresponding mathematical simulations based on the proposed transfer function were carried out. Our investigation showed that the mathematical simulation results coincided with the measured results over the frequency range of 100kHz to 5MHz, which indicated that the proposed transfer function could be useful for theoretical analysis and application of the galvanic coupling IBC.

Impacts of operational parameters on nonlinear polarization rotation-based passively mode-locked fiber laser

The operational parameters including the polarization controlling and the pump power in a nonlinear polarization rotation-based passively mode-locked fiber laser are studied in this paper.The carrier rate equations of the activated erbium-doped fiber are first employed together with the nonlinear Shro¨dinger equations to reveal the relation between the operational parameters and the output state of the passively mode-locked fiber laser.The numerical and experimental results demonstrate that the output state of the mode-locked laser varies with the polarization controlling and the pump power.The periodicity of the polarization controlling is observed.With given pump power,there exists a set of polarization controlling under which the ultra-short pulse can be generated.With given polarization controlling,the mode-locked state can be maintained generally except for some particular values of pump power.Three shapes of the output optical spectra from the fiber cavity can be identified when the pump power changes.The results in this paper provide a comprehensive insight into the operation of the nonlinear polarization rotation-based passively mode-locked fiber laser.

Determiningrelativeposition and attitude of a close non-cooperative target based on the SIFT algorithm

A binocular stereo vision positioning method based on the scale-invariant feature trans- form （SIFT） algorithm is proposed. The SIFT algorithm is for extracting distinctive invariant features from images. First, image median filtering is used to eliminate image noise. Then, according to the characteristics of the target satellite, image map is used to extract the middle part of the target satel- lite. At last, the feature match point under the SIFT algorithm is extracted, and the three-dimension- al position and orientation are calculated. The features are invariant to image scale and rotation, and are shown to provide robust matching across a substantial range of affine distortion, change in 3D viewpoint, addition of noise, and change in illumination. The experimental result shows that the al- gorithm works well and the maximum relative error is within 0. 02 m and 2.5 o

Non-linear spectral splitting of Rydberg sodium in external fields

We have studied highly excited sodium in various electric fields, parallel electric and magnetic fields, with one σ andπ photon irradiation, and even in a magnetic field with a complex laser polarization configuration. The σ spectra shows a simple linear Stark effect with the applied electric field, while the π spectra exhibits a strong non-linear dependence on the electric field. The π transitions in parallel fields show a similar behavior to that in a pure electric field but the spectra get more smooth due to the magnetic field. The diamagnetic spectrum with laser polarization angles between 0 and π /2 proves that it can be reproduced by simple linear combination of π and σ components, indicating there is no interference between the π and σ channels. A full quantum calculation considering the quantum defects accounts for all the observations. The quantum defects, especially for the channel np, play an important role in the spectral profile.

Dual-Channel Communication of Column Plasma Antenna Excited by a Surface Wave——Actualization and Simulation of Radiation Pattern

Along with the introduction of the concept of dual-channel communication,we utilized the finite-difference time-domain（FDTD） method to simulate and measure the radiation pattern under certain plasma densities and plasma collision frequencies.Results show that under certain settings,the radiation pattern of a plasma antenna resembles that of a metallic antenna.In contrast to a metallic antenna,a plasma antenna possesses other functionalities,such as dynamic reconfiguration and digital controllability.The data from simulation are similar to the measurement results,indicating that column plasma antenna can realize dual-channel communication.This work confirms the viability of realizing dual-channel communication by column plasma antenna,which adds a new but promising method for modern intelligent communication.

Band structures analysis of one-dimensional photonic crystals using plane wave expansion

A theoretical analysis is made, using plane wave expansion, on how the width of the first three band gaps is influenced by filling ratio, dielectric constant ratio, and periodic width in one-dimensional photonic crystals （PhCs）. From simulation and analysis, there are one, two, and three peak points on the first, second and third band gaps respectively with the changes of filling ratio un- der fixed dielectric constant ratio. When filling ratio is fixed, the bandwidth of the first band gap consistently increases with dielectric constant ratio. However, no similar trend is observed in the second and the third band gaps. Because of scaling properties, varying periodic width does not alter the relative bandwidth.
