An actively tunable absorption bandwidth and peak resonant wavelength in the region from the near-to mid-infrared (NMIR) are simultaneously achieved with the insulating.metallic phase transition ofVO2·Moreover, the scalable unit cell,which is composed of multi-width sub-cells, provides a new freedom to further manipulate (i.e., broaden or narrow) the absorption bandwidth while maintaining a high relative absorption bandwidth and efficient absorbance at the same time. For both transverse-electric and transverse-magnetic polarizations, the proposed nanostructure exhibits a high absorption over a wide angular range up to 60°.This method holds a promising potential for versatile utilizations in optical integrated devices,NMIR photodetection, thermal emitters, smart temperature control systems,and so fbrth.展开更多

Pulses as short as 182 ns were obtained from a ytterbium-doped(Yb:LGGG) bulk laser Q-switched by the MoS2 SAM, which we believe to be the shortest one ever achieved from the MoS2 SAs-based Q-switched bulk lasers. A maximum average output power of 0.6 W was obtained with a slope efficiency of 24%,corresponding to single pulse energy up to 1.8 μJ. In addition, the simultaneous dual-wavelength Q-switching at 1025.2 and 1028.1 nm has been successfully achieved. The results indicate the promising potential of few-layer MoS2 nanoplatelets as nonlinear optical switches for achieving efficient pulsed bulk lasers.展开更多

The atomic arrangements of the matrix and the inclusion are both periodic along the xi-direction and quasiperiodic along the a;2-direction in the oxiX2-coordinate system. Using the hypersingular integral equation method, the inclusion problem is reduced to solving a set of hypersingular integral equations. Based on the exact analytical solution of the singular phonon and phason stresses near the inclusion front, a numerical method of the hypersingular integral equation is proposed using the finite-part integral method. Finally, the numerical solutions for the phonon and phason stress intensity factors of some examples are given.展开更多

Since the1970 s, various simulation models have been developed, which can be combined with computational fluidic dynamic software to calculate the fluence delivered in a UV reactor. These models strive for experimental validation and further improvement, which is a major challenge for UV technology in water treatment. Herein, a review of the simulation models of the FR distribution in a UV reactor and the applications of the current main experimental measurement approaches including conventional flat-type UV detector, spherical actinometer,and micro-fluorescent silica detector(MFSD), is presented. Moreover, FR distributions in a UV reactor are compared between various simulation models and MFSD measurements.In addition, the main influential factors on the FR distribution, including inner-wall reflection, refraction and shadowing effects of adjacent lamps, and turbidity effect are discussed,which is helpful for improving the accuracy of the simulation models and avoiding dark regions in the reactor design. This paper provides an overview on the simulation models and measurement approaches for the FR distribution, which is helpful for the model selection in fluence calculations and gives high confidence on the optimal design of UV reactors in regard to present methods.展开更多
