A Monte Carlo Model of Light Propagation in Nontransparent Tissue

To sharpen the imaging of structures, it is vital to develop a convenient and efficient quantitative algorithm of the optical coherence tomography (OCT) sampling. In this paper a new Monte Carlo model is set up and how light propagates in bio-tissue is analyzed in virtue of mathematics and physics equations. The relations,in which light intensity of Class 1 and Class 2 light with different wavelengths changes with their permeation depth,and in which Class 1 light intensity (signal light intensity) changes with the probing depth, and in which angularly resolved diffuse reflectance and diffuse transmittance change with the exiting angle, are studied. The results show that Monte Carlo simulation results are consistent with the theory data.

Research on the characteristics of a twisted high birefringence fiber grating

A novel torsion sensor,which can be embedded in the engineering material,is proposed.Based on the coupled mode theory and the characteristic of twisted high birefringence fiber,we have established the mathematical model of twisted high birefringence fiber grating transfer matrix.Two numerical simulation methods based on the transfer matrix method and coupled mode theory were used to analyze the consequent changes in reflection spectra.The simulation results of the two methods show good agreement with each other.The two main peak wavelengths of the high birefringence fiber grating shift as the twist angle changes from 0 to 360.And a peak was produced among the wavelengths of two main peaks.Its wavelength basically does not change and is about 1 552.225 nm.Its corresponding reflected peak value R_c basically presents the linear relationship with the twist angle α.The experiments show that the system has a wide measurement range.The resolution is 0.012° and the sensitivity is 0.13/rad.Good agreements between experimental results and numerical simulations have been obtained.

This paper proposes the financial index of payback period analysis in order to evaluate the economic performance of lighting system. Conventional designs and proposed optimal design using the Energy Conversation Promotion Act （No. 2） B.E. 2550 of Ministry of Energy （Section--The Type or Size of Building Standards and Rules and Procedures, Building Design for Energy Conservation, Act B.E. 2552） are compared based on illumination standard for office building in term of energy consumption, return of investment and environmental impact. Firstly, the Type or Size of Building Standards and Rule and Procedures, Building Design for Energy Conservation, Act B.E. 2552 is reviewed and compared with the conventional designs of lighting system for office building. Next, the lifetime energy consumption of fluorescent lamp T5 with electronic ballast, fluorescent lamp T8 with standard ballast and fluorescent lamp T8 with electronic ballast are simulated using DIALux software program in three sizes office buildings. Then, the payback period and CO2 emission of lighting system for selected office building are simulated by various scenarios, which the analytical results show are the optimal lighting system for office building under the present situation. Finally, the optimal design of lighting system for designated office building in Thailand will be discussed with respect to the energy performance with environmental friendly.

Two-dimensional ultraviolet spectroscopy of proteins

Two-dimensional ultraviolet(2 DUV) spectroscopy is a novel technology for probing molecular structure. We have developed a generalized quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics(QM/MM) approach to simulate the electronic transitions of protein backbones and aromatic amino acids in aqueous solution. These transitions, which occur in the ultraviolet(UV) region, provide a sensitive probe of molecular structure. The features of 2 DUV spectra are accurately characterized and enable us to trace small variations in the structure and dynamics as well as evolution propensity with high accuracy. Various structures and dynamic phenomena are investigated to construct a systematic framework for 2 DUV simulation mechanisms, so as to explore further applications of this technique. In this feature article, we summarize the theory and applications of 2 DUV spectroscopy we have engaged in recently, present the important roles of 2 DUV spectroscopy, and outline directions for future development. We hope this article can offer a platform for more scientists in different research fields to gain a clear overview of 2 DUVand further attract more people to explore this promising field.

Electron Acceleration by Beating of Two Intense Cross-Focused Hollow Gaussian Laser Beams in Plasma

This paper presents propagation of two cross-focused intense hollow Gaussian laser beams(HGBs) in collisionless plasma and its effect on the generation of electron plasma wave(EPW) and electron acceleration process,when relativistic and ponderomotive nonlinearities are simultaneously operative. Nonlinear differential equations have been set up for beamwidth of laser beams, power of generated EPW, and energy gain by electrons using WKB and paraxial approximations. Numerical simulations have been carried out to investigate the effect of typical laser-plasma parameters on the focusing of laser beams in plasmas and further its effect on power of excited EPW and acceleration of electrons. It is observed that focusing of two laser beams in plasma increases for higher order of hollow Gaussian beams,which significantly enhanced the power of generated EPW and energy gain. The amplitude of EPW and energy gain by electrons is found to enhance with an increase in the intensity of laser beams and plasma density. This study will be useful to plasma beat wave accelerator and in other applications requiring multiple laser beams.
