Three gate-oxide layers embedded in the silicon waveguide constitute a triple MOS capacitor structure, which boosts the modulation efficiency compared with a single MOS capacitor. The simulation results demonstrate that the Vπ Lπ product is 2. 4V · cm. The rise time and fall time of the proposed device are calculated to be 80 and 40ps from the transient response curve, respectively,indicating a bandwidth of 8GHz. The phase shift efficiency and bandwidth can be enhanced by rib width scaling.展开更多

This problem is evident while capturing a picture of a some which has both brightly and poorly illuminated regions. High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging aims to recover the entire dynamic range of the scene by compositing multi-exposure images. Tone reproduction is required for displaying HDR images as the corresponding Low Dynamic Range(LDR) images on common displays. This paper discusses novel approaches to reconstruct LDR images directly from multi-exposure images. It is assumed that there is no knowledge of camera response function and other camera settings. At last, it is explained how this task can be achieved effectively for static and dynamic scenes.展开更多

It is shown that, as compared with spatially fully coherent and polychromatic light whose spectral anomalies are induced only by aperture diffraction, the spectral anomalies and spectral switches of partially coherent and polychromatic light depend on the aperture diffraction, spatial correlationβ and bandwidth of the original spectrum. Detailed numerical calculations are made to illustrate the behavior of spectral switches of partially coherent and polychromatic light, and the results for spatially fully coherent and polychromatic light are treated as a special case ofβ=1 and included in our theory.展开更多

Under ultraviolet (UV) excitation, the white light is observed to be from a combination of 4f65d → 4f7 band transition emission at 425 nm for Eu^2+, 5D0 → ^7Fj (J= 1, 2) lineemissions at 593 nm and 611 nm for Eu^3+, and 5D4 → 7F5 band transition emission at 545 nm for Tb^3+. By varying the glass composition, the resultant emission color can be tuned efficiently. Eventually, the optimized white light with commission international de I'Eclairage (CIE) coordinate of (0.3382. 0.2763) and the correlate color temperature (CCT) at 5010 K are achieved.展开更多

Dumbbell-shaped bis(thienyl 3-ethynyl quinoxalines) are also accessible by the Suzuki protocol. The photophysical properties were investigated by UV and fluorescence spectroscopy. Most of the obtained compounds display fluorescence in solution and some of them also in the solid state. Additionally, tuning of the emission color of the quinoxaline based chromophores can be conveniently accomplished by the remote substituent group. The determined absorption and emission maximum as well as the Stokes shifts strongly correlate with Hammett σp+parameters. Besides,photophysical properties of selected derivatives in the solid state, biphasic solutions, and PMMA films, along with their relationships, are comparatively investigated. Moreover, two 5-(hetero)aryl-thien-2-yl substituted 3-ethynyl quinoxaline dyes are aggregation induced emission(AIE) chromophores indicated by restriction of molecular motions. A covalently restricted 3-ethynyl quinoxaline supports that the inhibition of molecular rotation is responsible for the significant enhancement of fluorescence in acetonitrile/water mixtures.展开更多

A ...Inorganic nanoparticles have been introduced into biological systems as useful probes for in vitro diagnosis and in vivo imaging, due to their relatively small size and exceptional physical and chemical properties. A new kind of color- tunable Gd-Zn-Cu-In-S/ZnS (GZCIS/ZnS) quantum dots (QDs) with stable crystal structure has been successfully synthesized and utilized for magnetic resonance (MR) and fluorescence dual modality imaging. This strategy allows successful fabrication of GZCIS/ZnS QDs by incorporating Gd into ZCIS/ZnS QDs to achieve great MR enhancement without compromising the fluorescence properties of the initial ZCIS/ZnS QDs. The as-prepared GZCIS/ZnS QDs show high T1 MR contrast as well as "color-tunable" photoluminescence (PL) in the range of 550-725 nm by adjusting the Zn/Cu feeding ratio with high PL quantum yield (QY). The GZCIS/ZnS QDs were transferred into water via a bovine serum albumin (BSA) coating strategy. The resulting Cd-free GZCIS/ZnS QDs reveal negligible cytotoxicity on both HeLa and A549 cells. Both fluorescence and MR imaging studies were successfully performed in vitro and in vivo. The results demonstrated that GZCIS/ZnS QDs could be a dual-modal contrast agent to simultaneously produce strong MR contrast enhancement as well as fluorescence emission for in vivo imaging.展开更多

In this paper, we show that both luminous efficiency and CRI can be improved by adjusting the green/red spectra of WOLEDs. With green emission spectra matching with the human photopic curve, the WOLEDs exhibit higher luminous efficiency and higher CRI. Theoretical calculation shows that by tuning the white emission spectra to maximally match with the human photopic curve, the luminous efficiency can be improved by 41.8% without altering the color coordinates, the color correlated temperature(CCT) and the external quantum efficiency(EQE) of the WOLEDs.展开更多

Ba_2Ca(BO_3)_2:Tb^(3+) can show an obvious green emission, and the peak locates at 551 nm, which corresponds to the 5D34→7F5 transition of Tb^(3+). Ba_2Ca(BO_3)_2:Eu+ can present the characteristic emission of Eu^(3+), and the peak locates at 600 nm, which is ascribed to the 5D70→F2 transition of Eu^(3+). In order to achieve the emission-tunable phosphors, the Eu^(3+)/Tb^(3+) co-doped Ba_2Ca(BO_3)_2 are synthesized. When tuning the Eu^(3+) or Tb^(3+) concentration, Ba_2Ca(BO_3)_2:Eu^(3+), Tb^(3+) can both show the tunable emission, which may be induced by the energy transfer from Tb^(3+) to Eu^(3+).展开更多

A dual-polarization(DP)-1 024 quadrature amplitude modulation(QAM) 400 Gbit/s CD monitoring system is built using OptiS ystem14.0 software. With different optical signal to noise ratio(OSNR) values, different filter bandwidths or different duty cycles, the simulations are carried out. The simulation results show that this new CD monitoring method can be less affected by noise and has a high tolerance for different filter bandwidths. At the same time, this method can do effective CD monitoring on the signal with duty cycle greater than 80%. A high sensitivity in 0—200 ps/nm can be achieved using this CD monitoring method. The technique supports a wide range of data traffic and enhances operation flexibility of optical networks.展开更多
