PMMA/PS-b-PMMA超临界二氧化碳微孔发泡——胶束尺寸和密度对发泡行为的影响

以均聚物聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)和二嵌段共聚物聚苯乙烯-聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PS-b-PMMA)共混物为考察对象,利用超临界二氧化碳(scCO_2)发泡技术制备纳米发泡材料。通过改变PMMA的相对分子质量以及PS-b-PMMA的含量来调控共混物中胶束的尺寸和密度,系统研究其对材料发泡行为的影响。实验结果表明,对于纯PMMA发泡体系来说,随着PMMA相对分子质量的增大,发泡材料的泡孔孔径逐渐减小,但可发泡性变差;当PS-b-PMMA含量为5%时,共混物的可发泡性得到改善,泡孔孔径更加均匀,但泡孔孔径增大;将PS-b-PMMA含量提高到10%时,得到孔径更小、更均匀的纳米发泡材料。

Dispersion-less Kerr solitons in spectrally confined optical cavities

Solitons are self-reinforcing localized wave packets that manifest in the major areas of nonlinear science,from optics to biology and Bose-Einstein condensates.Recently,optically driven dissipative solitons have attracted great attention for the implementation of the chip-scale frequency combs that are decisive for communications,spectroscopy,neural computing,and quantum information processing.In the current understanding,the generation of temporal solitons involves the chromatic dispersion as a key enabling physical effect,acting either globally or locally on the cavity dynamics in a decisive way.Here,we report on a novel class of solitons,both theoretically and experimentally,which builds up in spectrally confined optical cavities when dispersion is practically absent,both globally and locally.Precisely,the interplay between the Kerr nonlinearity and spectral filtering results in an infiinite hierarchy of eigenfunctions which,combined with optical gain,allow for the generation of stable dispersion-less dissipative solitons in a previously unexplored regime.When the filter order tends to infinity,we find an unexpected link between dissipative and conservative solitons,in the form of Nyquist-pulse-like solitons endowed with an ultra-flat spectrum.In contrast to the conventional dispersion-enabled nonlinear Schr?dinger solitons,these dispersion-less Nyquist solitons build on a fully confined spectrum and their energy scaling is not constrained by the pulse duration.Dispersion-less soliton molecules and their deterministic transitioning to single solitons are also evidenced.These findings broaden the fundamental scope of the dissipative soliton paradigm and open new avenues for generating soliton pulses and frequency combs endowed with unprecedented temporal and spectral features.

Design of PANDA ring-core fiber with 10 polarization-maintaining modes

We present a polarization-maintaining PANDA ring-core fiber(PM-PRCF) characterized by the combination of a ring-core structure with two stress-applying rods. This special fiber design separates the adjacent modes and avoids the cutoff of the higher-order modes, which is a common problem in elliptical core polarization-maintaining few-mode fibers. Using a high-contrast index ring and stress-induced birefringence, the PM-PRCF features support for 10 vector modes, with effective refractive index separations from their adjacent modes >10^(-4).Broadband performance is investigated subsequently over a wide wavelength range from 1500 to 1630 nm.The proposed fiber is targeted at applications in space-division multiplexing while eliminating the complex multiple-input multiple-output signal processing.

Soliton regulation in microcavities induced by fundamental–second-harmonic mode coupling

Microcomb generation with simultaneous χ2 and χ3 nonlinearities brings new possibilities for ultrabroadband and potentially self-referenced integrated comb sources. However, the evolution of the intracavity field involving multiple nonlinear processes shows complex dynamics that are still poorly understood. Here, we report on strong soliton regulation induced by fundamental–second-harmonic(FD-SH) mode coupling. The formation of solitons from chaos is extensively investigated based on coupled Lugiato–Lefever equations. The soliton generation shows more deterministic behaviors in the presence of FD-SH mode interaction, which is in sharp contrast with the usual cases where the soliton number and relative locations are stochastic. Deterministic single soliton transition, soliton binding, and prohibition are observed, depending on the phase-matching condition and coupling coefficient between the fundamental and second-harmonic waves. Our finding provides important new insights into the soliton dynamics in microcavities with simultaneous χ~2and χ~3nonlinearities and can be immediate guidance for broadband soliton comb generation with such platforms.

Visual Information Based Social Force Model for Crowd Evacuation

With the increase in large-scale incidents in real life, crowd evacuation plays a pivotal role in ensuring the safety of human crowds during emergency situations. The behavior patterns of crowds are well rendered by existing crowd dynamics models. However, most related studies ignore the information perception of pedestrians.To overcome this issue, we develop a visual information based social force model to simulate the interpretable evacuation process from the perspective of visual perception. Numerical experiments indicate that the evacuation efficiency and decision-making ability promote rapidly within a small range with the increase in unbalanced prior knowledge. The propagation of acceleration behavior caused by emergencies is asymmetric due to the anisotropy of visual information. Therefore, this model effectively characterizes the effect of visual information on crowd evacuation and provides new insights into the information perception of individuals in complex scenarios.

Research on pedestrian escape route without visibility based on Markov chain model

It is a pioneering work to use a Markov chain model to study the pedestrian escape route without visibility.In this paper,based on the Markov chain probability transition matrix,the algorithms with random numbers and the spatial-grid,an escape route in a limited invisible space is obtained.Six pace states(standing,crawling,walking,leaping,jogging,and running)are applied to describe the characteristics of pedestrian behaviors.Besides,eight main direction changes are used to describe the transition characteristic of a pedestrian.At the same time,this paper analyzes the escape route from two views,i.e.,pedestrian pace states and directions.The research results show that the Markov chain model is more realistic as a means of studying pedestrian escape routes.

Photonics-enabled distributed MIMO radar for high-resolution 3D imaging

Three-dimensional(3D)imaging radar is an advanced sensor applied in space surveillance and target recognition for supplying 3D geometric features and supporting visualization.However,high 3D resolution requires both broadband operation and a large 2D aperture,which are difficult and complex for conventional radars.This paper presents a photonics-enabled distributed multiple-input and multiple-output(MIMO)radar with a centralized architecture.By use of photonic multi-dimensional multiplexing,multi-channel signal generation and reception are implemented on a shared reference signal in a central office,enabling a highly coherent network with a simple structure.Additionally,a sparse array and a synthetic aperture are combined to efficiently reduce the required transceivers,further weakening the dilemma between system complexity and angular resolution.A 4×4 MIMO radar is established and evaluated in field tests.A high-resolution 3D image of a non-cooperative aircraft is obtained,in which rich details are displayed.From a comparison with electronics-based radar,significant resolution improvement is observed.The results verify the superior imaging capability and practicability of the proposed radar and its great potential to outperform conventional technologies in target classification and recognition applications.
