In this paper we review recent progress in high-speed and high-spectral-efficient optical transmission technology. We discuss spectrally efficient modulation and detection technologies that have been experimentally explored for future 100-Gb/s and above optical transmission system. Emerging methods aiming at extending system reach for noise and nonlinearity-stressed high spectral efficiency optical transmission systems have also been reviewed. We show that spectrallyefficient multilevel coding coupled with polarization multiplexing and digital coherent detection has the potential to enable 400Gb/s per channel WDM system operating with existing 50GHzspaced WDM infrastructure at a spectral efficiency of 8b/s/Hz.展开更多

In this article, the frozen in strain from a variety of extended defects in silicon is shown to effect the polarization of light transmitted through a silicon substrate due to the photo-elastic effect. Transmission polarimetry on pre-fabricated silicon substrates may be used for identification of extended defects in the materials using a polarization analysis instrument. Instrumentation is proposed for detection of defects in raw silicon wafers for applications like raw silicon wafer sorting, scanning silicon bricks, and inline inspection prior to solar cell metallization. Such analysis may assist with gettering of silicon solar cells, may be implemented in the sorting and rejection procedures in PV device fabrication, and in general shows advantages for detection of defects in silicon wafer solar cell materials and devices.展开更多

The effective refractive index of cladding induced by periodic air hole deformation is computed using multipole method, and the rela-tionship between the effective refractive index and the collapse of air-holes is discussed, thereby the modulation expression of effective refractive index is obtained. The grating transmission characteristics are simulated. The results indicate that with the diameter of air-holes increasing from 3.3 ~m to 3.7 μm, the resonance wavelength shows blue-shift, the resonance peak intensifies, and the bandwidth becomes narrow. As the collapse degree of cladding enhances, the resonance wave- length shows red-shift, the transmission increases, and the bandwidth tends to narrow.展开更多

In general, it is prepared by a halogen solvent(chlorobenzene, CBZ) and needs an ion dopant(lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, Li-TFSI) to improve its conductivity and hole mobility. However, such a halogen solvent is not environmentally friendly and the widely used LiTFSI dopant would affect the stability of PSCs. Herein, we develop a non-halogen solvent-tetrahydrofuran(THF)-prepared spiro-OMeTAD solution with a new p-type dopant,potassium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide(K-FSI), to apply into PSCs. By this strategy, high-hole-mobility spiro-OMeTAD film is achieved. Meanwhile, the potassium ions introduced by diffusion into perovskite surface passivate the interfacial defects. Therefore, a hysteresis-free champion PSC with an efficiency of 21.02% is obtained, along with significantly improved stability against illumination and ambient conditions. This work provides a new strategy for HTMs toward hysteresis-free high-efficiency and stable PSCs by substituting dopants.展开更多
