The deposition temperature was raised from 50 to 300℃, and its influence on the film structure and refractive index was investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the crystalline strucure of the films transforms from the (101) to (002) oriented hexagonal CrzN phase as the increase of substrate tempera- ture above 50℃, and a highly texatred film grows at 100℃. An empirical relation between the crystalline orientation and infrared active modes of the films is obtained, i.e., the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum of the film prepared at 50℃ exhibits only A1 (TO) mode. The prominent peak in the FTIR spectra of the film prepared above 50℃is assigned to the E1 (TO) mode and is correlated with the (002) or c-axis oriented hexagonal wurtzite phase of Cr2N. In the surface analysis of atomic force microscopy, a transformation from the featureless surface to columnar-type morphology is observed with the increase of substrate temperature from 50 to 100℃, exhibiting c-axis oriented crystallite growth. A further increase in substrate temperature to 200℃ causes the c-axis crystallites to merge, resulting in the formation of voids. The refractive index (n) of the deposited films is obtained using spectroscopic ellipsometry.展开更多

METHODS: Seventy-four eyes with age-related cataracts were randomly divided into spherical and aspherical lens implantation groups. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was measured preoperatively, one day, one week, two weeks, one month and two months after surgery. A biometric systems analysis using the OQAS objective scattering index (OSI) was performed. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in visual acuity (P〉0.05) before and after spherical and aspheric lens implantation. There was a negative linear correction between the OSI value and BCVA (t-=-0.634, P=-0.000), and positive corrections between the OSI value and the lens LOCUS III value of nucleus color (NC), nucleus opacity (NO), cortex (C) and posterior lens capsular (P) (r=0.704, P=0.000; r=0.514, P=0.000; r=0.276, P=0.020; r=0.417, P=-0.000, respectively). OSI values of spherical vs aspherical lenses were 11.5±3.6 vs 11.8±3.4, 4.1±0.9 vs 3.3±0.8, 3.5±0.9 vs 2.7±0.7, 3.3±0.8 vs 2.6±0.7, 3.2±0.7 vs 2.5±0.8, and 3.2±0.8 vs 2.50.8 before and ld, 1, 2wk, 1 and 2mo after surgery, respectively. All time points varied significantly (P〈0.01) between the two groups. CONCLUSION: Aspherical IOLs does not significantly affect visual acuity compared with spherical IOLs. The OSI value, was significantly lower in the aspherical lens group compared with the spherical lens. This study shows that objective visual quality of aspheric IOLs is better than that of the spherical lens by means of OQAS biological measurement method.展开更多

Angular deflection dependent on relative phase differences among elements, inter-element spacing, element size and emitted wavelength is analyzed detailedly and systematically. We design and fabricate 1×2 implant defined VCSEL arrays for optimum beam steering performance. Electroni- cally controlled beam steering with a maximum deflection angle of 1.6° is successfully achieved in the 1 × 2 VCSEL arrays. The percentage of the power in the central lobe is above 39% when steering. The results show that the steering is controllable.

Firstly,one method of optical CIELAB color difference analysis was designed to exactly measure the values of dyefixing performances, so that the suitable molecular weights and structures of the slightly crosslinked PDMDAACs could be precisely confirmed to play a role in the development of their dye-fixing performances. Secondly,the FT-IR absorption shift of the dye on dyed cotton sample fixed by slightly crosslinked PDMDAACs was nearly in agreement with that of forming water-insoluble color lakes,indicating that the expected color lakes could be formed on dyed cotton fabric,and would play a role in further development of the fastness of dyes on cotton fabric. Thirdly,the FT-IR spectra of fixed undyed cotton samples and that of fixed dyed cotton samples both showed the absorptions of slightly crosslinked PDMDAACs,further revealing that the slightly crosslinked PDMDAACs could be penetrated into cotton fabric and be convenient to interact with dyes when fixing. However,those absorptions of the slightly crosslinked PDMDAACs fixed on cotton samples would be absent after being adequately washed to a constant weight,suggesting that the fixing interactions of the slightly crosslinked PDMDAAC and cotton fabric were very weak.展开更多

Main outcomes evaluated at 3mo of follow-up, included uncorrected distance visual acuity(UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity(CDVA), residual refractive cylinder and intraocular lens(IOL) axis rotation.Objective optical quality were measured using optical quality analysis system(OQAS Ⅱ, Visiometrics, Spain),included the cutoff frequency of modulation transfer function(MTFcutoff), objective scattering index(OSI),Strehl ratio, optical quality analysis system value(OV)100%, OV 20% and OV 9% [the optical quality analysis system(OQAS) values at contrasts of 100%, 20%, and 9%].RESULTS: At 3mo postoperative, the mean UDVA and CDVA was 0.18 ±0.11 and 0.07 ±0.08 log MAR; the mean residual refractive cylinder was 0.50 ±0.29 D; the mean toric IOL axis rotation was 3.62 ±1.76 degrees, the mean MTFcutoff, OSI, Strehl ratio, OV 100%, OV 20% and OV9% were 22.862 ±5.584, 1.80 ±0.84, 0.155 ±0.038, 0.76 ±0.18,0.77±0.19 and 0.78±0.21. The values of UDVA, CDVA, IOL axis rotation, MTFcutoff, OSI, Strehl ratio, OV100%,OV20% and OV9% depending on the power of the cylinder of the implantation were not significantly different(P 】0.05), except the residual refractive cylinder(P 【0.05).CONCLUSION: The optical quality analysis system was useful for characterizing the optical quality of Acry Sof toric IOL implantation. Implantation of an Acry Sof toric IOL is an effective and safe method to correct corneal astigmatism during cataract surgery.展开更多

In this paper, a theoretical study as well as an experimental demonstration on a new optical buffer with large dynamical delay time is carried out based on cascaded double loop optical buffers (I:)LOBs). It is found that pulse distortion can be restrained by a negative optical control mode when the optical packet is in the loop. Noise analysis indicates that it is feasible to realise a large variable delay range by cascaded DLOBs. These conclusions are validated by the experiment system with 4-stage cascaded DLOBs. Both the theoretical simulations and the experimental results indicate that a large delay range of 1-9999 times the basic delay unit and a fine granularity of 25 ns can be achieved by the cascaded DLOBs. The performance of the cascaded DLOBs is suitable for the all optical networks.展开更多

Critical concentration C-crit of forming Liquid crystal phase decreased with increasing solubility parameter delta of solvent until approaching the delta of polymer. Although the alcohols used as solvents had the same variation rule, the critical concentration values of their solutions were much higher, due to their excessive large hydrogen bond component of delta. The experiments of using mixed solvents which showed good linear relation between C-crit and delta also proved this rule. A technique of Transmission Optical Analysis was first used to estimate the concentration dependence of critical phase transition temperature T-crit of EC, and a T-C phase diagram could be drawn.展开更多

Two optical multi-channel analysis (OMA) systems have been installed for the UV-visible spectrum measurement on EAST. These two OMA systems are both equipped with the Czerny-Turner (C-T) type spectrometer. The upper vacuum vessel and inner divertor baffle can be viewed simultaneously through two optical lenses. The OMA1 system is mainly used for multi-impurity lines radiation measurement. A 280 nm wavelength range can be covered by a 300 mm focal length spectrometer equipped with a 300 grooves/mm grating. The Da/Ha line shapes can be resolved by the OMA2 system. The focal length is 750 mm. The spectral resolution can be up to 0.01 nm using a 1800 grooves/mm grating. The impurity behaviour and hydrogen ratio evolution after boroniztion, lithium coating, and siliconization are compared. Lithium coating has shown beneficial effects on the reduction of edge recycling and low Z impurity (C, O) influx. The impurity expelling effect of the divertor configuration is also briefly discussed through multi-channels observation of OMA1 system.展开更多

The low-density helium discharges are operated in order to reduce the recycling hydrogen fluxes; however,the effect is not obvious.The possible reason is that the number of helium discharges is not enough and the content of hydrogen in the wall is still very abundant,which is caused by frequent wall conditionings and the vacuum leakage.The H/(H+D) ratio decreases quickly after one lithium coating and reduces to less than 10%using several accumulated lithium wall conditioning.It is found that the deposited He atoms on the carbon wall will remain at a low level after several D2 discharges.展开更多

The objective of the proposed scheme is to reduce the overall burst loss in the network and at the same time to avoid the packet out-of-sequence arrival problem. Simulations are carried out to assess the feasibility of the proposed scheme. Its performance is compared with that of contention resolution schemes based on conventional routing. Through extensive simulations, it is shown that the proposed scheme not only provides significantly better burst loss performance than the basic equal proportion and hop-length based traffic routing algorithms, but also is void of any packet re-orderings.展开更多

The detailed understanding and elucidation of the matter transport and energy conversion mechanisms within a single cell will expand our knowledge about the origin and evolution of life, the disease mechanisms and much more. In past decades, single-cell analysis has been rapidly and significantly improved and various methodologies have been developed to reveal the complexity of mass, energy, and information within single cells. In this review, we focused on the methods developed in recent years for single-cell analysis, including electrochemical method, optical method, and mass spectrometry method. We reviewed the recent advances and representative studies in this research field, and also discussed the strengths and limitations of each method. Finally, we presented the existing technical challenges and further directions for single-cell analysis.展开更多

Local solids concentration fluctuations measured using a reflective-type fiber optic probe were processed to determine chaotic invariants (Kolmogorov entropy and correlation dimension), Radial and axial profiles of the chaotic invariants at different operating conditions show that the core region exhibits higher values of the chaotic invariants than the wall region. Both invariants vary strongly with local mean solids concentration. The transition section of the riser exhibits more complex dynamics while the bottom and top sections exhibit a more uniform macroscopic and less-complex microscopic flow structure. Increasing gas velocity leads to more complex and less predictable solids concentration fluctuations, while increasing solids flux generally lowers complexity and increases predictability. Very high solids flux, however, was observed to increase the entropy.展开更多

Main outcomes evaluated at 3mo of follow-up, included uncorrected distance visual acuity(UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity(CDVA), residual refractive cylinder and intraocular lens(IOL) axis rotation.Objective optical quality were measured using optical quality analysis system(OQAS Ⅱ, Visiometrics, Spain),included the cutoff frequency of modulation transfer function(MTFcutoff), objective scattering index(OSI),Strehl ratio, optical quality analysis system value(OV)100%, OV 20% and OV 9% [the optical quality analysis system(OQAS) values at contrasts of 100%, 20%, and 9%].RESULTS: At 3mo postoperative, the mean UDVA and CDVA was 0.18 ±0.11 and 0.07 ±0.08 log MAR; the mean residual refractive cylinder was 0.50 ±0.29 D; the mean toric IOL axis rotation was 3.62 ±1.76 degrees, the mean MTFcutoff, OSI, Strehl ratio, OV 100%, OV 20% and OV9% were 22.862 ±5.584, 1.80 ±0.84, 0.155 ±0.038, 0.76 ±0.18,0.77±0.19 and 0.78±0.21. The values of UDVA, CDVA, IOL axis rotation, MTFcutoff, OSI, Strehl ratio, OV100%,OV20% and OV9% depending on the power of the cylinder of the implantation were not significantly different(P 】0.05), except the residual refractive cylinder(P 【0.05).CONCLUSION: The optical quality analysis system was useful for characterizing the optical quality of Acry Sof toric IOL implantation. Implantation of an Acry Sof toric IOL is an effective and safe method to correct corneal astigmatism during cataract surgery.

文摘Optical buffers are critical for optical signal processing in future optical packet-switched networks. In this paper, a theoretical study as well as an experimental demonstration on a new optical buffer with large dynamical delay time is carried out based on cascaded double loop optical buffers (I:)LOBs). It is found that pulse distortion can be restrained by a negative optical control mode when the optical packet is in the loop. Noise analysis indicates that it is feasible to realise a large variable delay range by cascaded DLOBs. These conclusions are validated by the experiment system with 4-stage cascaded DLOBs. Both the theoretical simulations and the experimental results indicate that a large delay range of 1-9999 times the basic delay unit and a fine granularity of 25 ns can be achieved by the cascaded DLOBs. The performance of the cascaded DLOBs is suitable for the all optical networks.

文摘Critical concentrations of lyotropic liquid crystalline ethylcellulose in more than ten solvents were determined using both Abbe refractometer and polarized microscopy. Critical concentration C-crit of forming Liquid crystal phase decreased with increasing solubility parameter delta of solvent until approaching the delta of polymer. Although the alcohols used as solvents had the same variation rule, the critical concentration values of their solutions were much higher, due to their excessive large hydrogen bond component of delta. The experiments of using mixed solvents which showed good linear relation between C-crit and delta also proved this rule. A technique of Transmission Optical Analysis was first used to estimate the concentration dependence of critical phase transition temperature T-crit of EC, and a T-C phase diagram could be drawn.

文摘Ultraviolet (UV) and visible impurity spectra (200-750 nm) are commonly used to study plasma and wall interactions in magnetic fusion plasmas. Two optical multi-channel analysis (OMA) systems have been installed for the UV-visible spectrum measurement on EAST. These two OMA systems are both equipped with the Czerny-Turner (C-T) type spectrometer. The upper vacuum vessel and inner divertor baffle can be viewed simultaneously through two optical lenses. The OMA1 system is mainly used for multi-impurity lines radiation measurement. A 280 nm wavelength range can be covered by a 300 mm focal length spectrometer equipped with a 300 grooves/mm grating. The Da/Ha line shapes can be resolved by the OMA2 system. The focal length is 750 mm. The spectral resolution can be up to 0.01 nm using a 1800 grooves/mm grating. The impurity behaviour and hydrogen ratio evolution after boroniztion, lithium coating, and siliconization are compared. Lithium coating has shown beneficial effects on the reduction of edge recycling and low Z impurity (C, O) influx. The impurity expelling effect of the divertor configuration is also briefly discussed through multi-channels observation of OMA1 system.

文摘To synthesize pure γ-La2S3 at lower temperature,lanthanide complex La(Et2S2CN)3·phen,containing La?S bond,was chosen as the precursors to decompose.The obtained samples were characterized by X-ray power diffraction (XRD),field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) with an energy dispersive spectrometer and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra.The decomposition mechanism of the lanthanide complex was studied by thermogravimetric analyses (TGA).The results show that the obtained samples are cubic phase particles with sizes among 20-50 nm and the band gap is 2.97 eV,which is bigger than that of its bulk crystal.TG/DTG results indicate that La(Et2S2CN)3·phen decomposed to γ-La2S3 via La4(Et2S2CN)3 as an intermediate product.

文摘Multiple-access interference(MAI) and beat noise(BN) in chip-asynchronous coherent time-spreading OCDMA system are evaluated by the aperiodic cross-correlation function of up-sampled sequence.Relationship between the mean intensity of aperiodic cross-correlation and MAI and BN is deduced,and then the relationship between BER and mean intensity of aperiodic cross-correlation is discussed.For 127-long gold sequence,mean BER performance of chip-asynchronous coherent time-spreading OCDMA is derived and compared with that of the chip-synchronous system.It can be shown that the chip-synchronous assumption provides a performance upper limit.For realistic asynchronous coherent time-spreading OCDMA system,BER will reduce by about one order of magnitude.

文摘The spectra of HeI(587.6 nm),Hα(656.28 nm) and Dα(656.1 nm) of the helium discharges as well as the normal deuterium discharges have been measured with two optical spectroscopic multi-channel analysis(OMA) systems on the experimental advanced superconducting tokamak(EAST).The influx ratio of the sum of H and D to He spectral lines and the influx ratio of H to D are given.In this way the ratio of hydrogen/deuterium ion(S/X B)H/D to(S/X B)He as well as(S/X B)H/D is not very sensitive to the variation in the edge density and temperature. The low-density helium discharges are operated in order to reduce the recycling hydrogen fluxes; however,the effect is not obvious.The possible reason is that the number of helium discharges is not enough and the content of hydrogen in the wall is still very abundant,which is caused by frequent wall conditionings and the vacuum leakage.The H/(H+D) ratio decreases quickly after one lithium coating and reduces to less than 10%using several accumulated lithium wall conditioning.It is found that the deposited He atoms on the carbon wall will remain at a low level after several D2 discharges.
文摘The performance of the algorithm of the data channel scheduling algorithm of latest available unscheduled channel with void filling (LAUC-VF) under bursty traffic is presented firstly. A bursty traffic model for optical burst switch performance simulation is also introduced.
文摘A new integrated scheme based on resource-reservation and adaptive network flow routing to alleviate contention in optical burst switching networks is proposed. The objective of the proposed scheme is to reduce the overall burst loss in the network and at the same time to avoid the packet out-of-sequence arrival problem. Simulations are carried out to assess the feasibility of the proposed scheme. Its performance is compared with that of contention resolution schemes based on conventional routing. Through extensive simulations, it is shown that the proposed scheme not only provides significantly better burst loss performance than the basic equal proportion and hop-length based traffic routing algorithms, but also is void of any packet re-orderings.

文摘Wavelength sweep technique (WST) is introduced into intra-cavity fiber laser (ICFL) for low concentration gas detection. The limitation induced by noise can be eliminated using this method, and the performance of the system is improved. The sensitivity of the system is reduced to less than 300 ppm. With WST, sweeping characteristic of the ICFL can be described according to known gas absorption spectra.

文摘Cells, basic units of living structures and functions, build up a complicated small world, and their order and complexity resemble a small universe. The detailed understanding and elucidation of the matter transport and energy conversion mechanisms within a single cell will expand our knowledge about the origin and evolution of life, the disease mechanisms and much more. In past decades, single-cell analysis has been rapidly and significantly improved and various methodologies have been developed to reveal the complexity of mass, energy, and information within single cells. In this review, we focused on the methods developed in recent years for single-cell analysis, including electrochemical method, optical method, and mass spectrometry method. We reviewed the recent advances and representative studies in this research field, and also discussed the strengths and limitations of each method. Finally, we presented the existing technical challenges and further directions for single-cell analysis.
文摘A high-flux circulating fluidized bed (CFB) riser (0.076-m I.D. and 10-m high) was operated in a wide range of operating conditions to study its chaotic dynamics, using FCC catalyst particles (dp= 67μm, ρp = 1500 kg·m^-3). Local solids concentration fluctuations measured using a reflective-type fiber optic probe were processed to determine chaotic invariants (Kolmogorov entropy and correlation dimension), Radial and axial profiles of the chaotic invariants at different operating conditions show that the core region exhibits higher values of the chaotic invariants than the wall region. Both invariants vary strongly with local mean solids concentration. The transition section of the riser exhibits more complex dynamics while the bottom and top sections exhibit a more uniform macroscopic and less-complex microscopic flow structure. Increasing gas velocity leads to more complex and less predictable solids concentration fluctuations, while increasing solids flux generally lowers complexity and increases predictability. Very high solids flux, however, was observed to increase the entropy.
