Anthropogenic aerosol concentrations （inorganic ＋ carbonaceous） were higher in March 2006 and 2008, whereas soil dust reached its highest levels in March 2006 and 2010, resulting in stronger aerosol radiative forcings in these periods. The domain and five-year （2006-10） monthly mean concentrations of anthropogenic and dust aerosols, AOD, and radiative forcings at the surface （SURF） and at the top of the atmosphere （TOA） in March were 2.4 μg m 3 13.1 lag m^-3, 0.18, -19.0 W m^-2, and -7.4 W m^-2, respectively. Heterogeneous reactions led to an increase of total inorganic aerosol concentration; however, the ambient inorganic aerosol concentration decreased, resulting in a smaller AOD and weaker aerosol radiative forcings. In March 2006 and 2010, the changes in ambient inorganic aerosols, AOD, and aerosol radiative forcings were more evident. In terms of the domain and five-year averages, the total inorganic aerosol concentrations increased by 13.7% （0.17 μg m^-3） due to heterogeneous reactions, but the ambient inorganic aerosol concentrations were reduced by 10.5% （0.13 lag m-3）. As a result, the changes in AOD, SURF and TOA radiative forcings were estimated to be -3.9% （-0.007）, -1.7% （0.34 W m^-2）, and -4.3% （0.34 W m^-2）, respectively, in March over East Asia.展开更多

In this paper, recent developments in high-speed short-range optical wireless communications are reviewed, including visible light communications （VLCs）, infrared indoor communication systems, and reconfigurable optical interconnects. The general architecture of indoor high-speed optical wireless communications is described, and the advantages and limitations of both visible and infrared based solutions are discussed. The concept of reconfigurable optical interconnects is presented, and key results are summarized.

Simultaneously, we used a brain normalization method to reduce individual brain variation and increase the accuracy of volumetric information analysis. In addition, tractography-based group mapping method was also used to investigate the probability and distribution of the optic radiation pathways. Our results showed that the measured optic radiation fiber tract volume was a range of about 0.16% and that the fractional anisotropy value was about 0.53. Moreover, the optic radiation probability fiber pathway that was determined with diffusion tensor tractography-based group mapping was able to detect the location relatively accurately. We believe that our methods and results are help- ful in the study of optic radiation fiber tract information.展开更多

Based on the recent advances of HODS, the key techniques and the challenges of HODS are discussed. Some new techniques are proposed to improve the system. A miniaturized volume holographic data storage and correlation system is presented. It can achieve a density of 10 Gb/cm3 and a fast correlation recognition rate of more than 2000 images per second. It shows the attracting potential advantages over other conventional storage meth- ods in the information storage as well as information proc- essing.展开更多

The results show that two linear polarization （LP） modes can be simultaneously stimulated and polarization switching （PS） can be observed, which is different from the case that only y LP mode exists in a VCSEL with PPOF. Under the joint action of PPOF and OOI, the two LP modes will exhibit rich dynamical states, such as period one, period two, multi- period and chaos oscillation. Different evolution routes to chaos can be also observed. Moreover, frequency detuning Af（Af=fm fs, wherefn andfs are the center frequencies of free-running master VCSEL and slave VCSEL, respectively） has an obvious influence on the PS. With the increase of the positive frequency detuning PS points shift toward larger injection strengths; meanwhile, a suitable negative frequency demning value makes the injection strength for PS be the lowest.展开更多

The purpose of this study was to find out the dispersion compensation techniques for optimal transmis- sion with the interaction effects of self-phase modulation （SPM） and amplifier spontaneous emission （ASE） for RZ- DPSK encoded optical data. By the simulation method, it was found out that the RZ-DPSK data format can be allowed with a transmission distance of about 700 km of standard single mode fiber （SMF） at 100 Gbits/s, and it can be provided with farther transmission distance of more than 1000 km at 80 Gbits/s with the combination of the pre- and post-compensation technique. To efficiently suppress the effect of ASE and improve optical signal-to- noise ratio （OSNR）, the bandwidth frequency of optical receiver filter was found to be at least equal to bit rate.展开更多
