共孔径偏振耦合分光的旋转四分之一波片相位补偿技术

在地平式折轴望远镜中开展自适应光学激光导星实验,研究了共孔径发射接收信标激光束偏振耦合分光效率随望远镜方位角和天顶角变化的补偿技术。提出了一种由四分之一波片和法拉第旋光器构成的相位补偿器,通过旋转四分之一波片以实时补偿由于望远镜旋转导致的光路相位延迟量的变化。数值计算表明,望远镜处于任意方位角和天顶角位置时,通过1°步长旋转四分之一波片,可使补偿后的偏振分光效率理论上达到99.90%以上。实验从原理上定性地验证了该方法的有效性。只要测量出镜面的相位延迟,便可计算得到望远镜处于不同方位角和天顶角情况下有效补偿所需的四分之一波片旋转角度,据此可建立实用的旋转波片偏振补偿装置。

Photosynthetic Characteristics of Two Superhigh-yield Hybrid Rice

The photosynthetic functions and the sensitivity to photoinhibition were compared between two superhigh_yield hybrid rice (Oryza sativa L.) Liangyoupeijiu and X07S/Zihui 100, the newly developed from two parental lines and traditional hybrid rice Shanyou 63 developed from three parental lines. The results showed that, as compared to Shanyou 63, the net photosynthetic rate of Liangyoupeijiu and X07S/Zihui 100 was 9.1% and 11.9% higher, the transpiration rate was 37.4% and 31.4% lower, and their water use efficiency was 74.2% and 63.5% higher respectively. After strong light (2 000 μmol photons·m -2 ·s -1 ) treatment for 2 h, the photochemical quantum yield and the photochemical quenching increased by 37.0% and 18.0% respectively in Liangyoupeijiu, 28.3% and 46.2% in X07S/Zihui 100, but decreased a little in Shanyou 63. The non_photochemical quenching decreased in Liangyoupeijiu and X07S/Zihui 100 (about 50%) but increased greatly in Shanyou 63 (about 50%). Better photosynthetic functions, higher water use efficiency and stronger resistance to photoinhibition, may be the physiological basis for the super high_yield of the two hybrid rice under study.

Response of Photosynthesis, Growth, Carbon Isotope Discrimination and Osmotic Tolerance of Rice to Elevated CO_2

Four rice ( Oryza sativa L.) cultivars 'IR72', 'Tesanai 2', 'Guichao 2' and 'IIyou 4480' were grown in two plastic house (15 m×3 m) with 35 μmol/mol and 60 μmol/mol CO 2 concentration which was controlled by computer. As compared with rice at ambient 35 μmol/mol CO 2, the changes in photosynthetic rate at elevated CO 2 showed up_regulation ('IR72' and 'Tesanai 2'), stable (unchanged) in 'Guichao 2' and down_regulation type ('IIyou 4480'). Growth rate, panicle weight, integrated water use efficiency (WUE) calculated from Δ 13 C and the capacity of scavenging DPPH · (1,1_diphenyl_2_picrylhydrazyl) free radical were increased at elevated CO 2. An increment in total biomass was observed in three cultivars by elevated CO 2, with the exception of 'IIyou 4480'. Ratios of panicle weight/total biomass were altered to different extents in tested cultivars by elevated CO 2. When leaf segments were subjected to PEG osmotic stress, the electrolyte leakage rate from leaves grown at elevated CO 2 was less than that at 35 μmol/mol CO 2. Those intraspecific variations of rice imply a possibility for selecting cultivars with maximal productivity and high tolerance to stresses adapted to elevated CO 2 in the future.

Photovoltaic Performance of Triphenylamine Dyes-sensitized Solar Cells Employing Cobalt Redox Shuttle and Influence of π-conjugated Spacers

Developing photosensitizers suitable for the cobalt electrolyte and understanding the structure-property relationship of organic dyes is warranted for the dye-sensitized solar cells （DSSCs）. The DSSCs incorporating tris（1,10-phenanthroline）eobalt（Ⅱ/Ⅲ）-based redox elec- trolyte and four synthesized organic dyes as photosensitizers are described. The photovoltaic performance of these dyes-sensitized solar cells employing the cobalt redox shuttle and the influences of the w-conjugated spacers of organic dyes upon the photovoltage and photocur- rent of mesoscopic titania solar cells are investigated. It is found that organic dyes with thiophene derivates as linkers are suitable for DSSCs employing cobalt electrolytes. DSSCs sensitized with the as-synthesized dyes in combination with the cobalt redox shuttle yield an overall power conversion efficiency of 6.1% under 100 mW/cm2 AM1.5 G illumination.

Highly enhanced visible-light photocatalytic hydrogen evolution on g-C_3N_4 decorated with vopc through π-π interaction

Photocatalytic H2 evolution reactions on pristine graphitic carbon nitrides(g-C3N4),as a promising approach for converting solar energy to fuel,are attractive for tackling global energy concerns but still suffer from low efficiencies.In this article,we report a tractable approach to modifying g-C3N4 with vanadyl phthalocyanine(VOPc/CN)for efficient visible-light-driven hydrogen production.A non-covalent VOPc/CN hybrid photocatalyst formed viaπ-πstacking interactions between the two components,as confirmed by analysis of UV-vis absorption spectra.The VOPc/CN hybrid photocatalyst shows excellent visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance and good stability.Under optimal conditions,the corresponding H2 evolution rate is nearly 6 times higher than that of pure g-C3N4.The role of VOPc in promoting hydrogen evolution activity was to extend the visible light absorption range and prevent the recombination of photoexcited electron-hole pairs effectively.It is expected that this facile modification method could be a new inspiration for the rational design and exploration of g-C3N4-based hybrid systems with strong light absorption and high-efficiency carrier separation.

Recent strategies to enhance the efficiency of hematite photoanodes in photoelectrochemical water splitting

Photoelectrochemical(PEC)water splitting is one of the most promising approaches toward achieving the conversion of solar energy to hydrogen.Hematite is a widely applied photoanode material in PEC water splitting because of its appropriate band structure,non-toxicity,high stability,and low cost.Nevertheless,its relatively low photochemical conversion efficiency limits its application,and enhancing its PEC water splitting efficiency remains a challenge.Consequently,increasing efforts have been rendered toward improving the performance of hematite photoanodes.The entire PEC water splitting efficiency typically includes three parts:the photon absorption efficiency,the separation efficiency of the semiconductor bulk,and the surface injection efficiency.This review briefly discusses the recent advances in studies on hematite photoanodes for water splitting,and through the enhancement of the three above-mentioned efficiencies,the corresponding strategies toward improving the PEC performance of hematite are comprehensively discussed and summarized.

Direct Optical Resolution of Chiral Pesticides by High Performance Liquid Chromatography

Enantiomer separation is one of the most important prerequisites for the investigation of environmental enantioselective behavior for chiral pesticides.The enantiomeric separation of three chiral pesticides,indoxacarb,lambda-cyhalothrin,and simeconazole,were studied on cellulose tris-(3,5-dimethylphenyl-carbamate)-coated chiral stationary phase(CDMPC-CSP) using high-performance liquid chromatography under normal phase condition.The effects of chromatographic conditions,such as the mobile phase composition including the concentration and type of alcohol modifiers in hexane,flow rate and column temperature,on enantiomer separation were examined.The thermodynamical mechanism of enantioseparation and chiral recognition mechanism were discussed.Better separation were achieved using 20% n-propanol for indoxacarb,2% iso-butanol for lambda-cyhalothrin,and 20% iso-propanol for simeconazole as modifiers in hexane at 25℃ with the selectivity factor(a) of 1.69,1.82 and 1.70,respectively.The resolution factor(Rs) decreased as the flow rate increased from 0.4 to 1.1 ml·min-1.The retention factor(k') and selectivity factor for the enantiomers of analytes decreased as temperature increased.The lna-1/T plots for racemic chiral pesticides were linear in the range of 15-35℃ in hexane/iso-propanol and the chiral separation was controlled by enthalpy.Hydrogen bonding,π-π and dipole-dipole interactions between enantiomers and CDMPC-CSP play an important role in chiral identification,and the fitting of the asymmetric portion of solutes in a chiral cavity or channel of the CSP is also important.

Survivable Traffic Cognition Algorithm with Joint Failure Probability in Flexible Bandwidth Optical Networks

This paper addresses the problem of survivable traffic assignment with failure probability requirement in flexible bandwidth optical networks. We describe a Survivable Traffic Cognition (STC) algorithm with joint failure probability. Survivable Traffic Assignment (STA) algorithm and Conventional Traffic Assignment (CTA) algorithm are added to illustrate the effectiveness of our proposed STC. We investigate the effect of joint failure probability on blocking probability, spectral utilization ratio, average joint failure probability, and the average hops. Simulation results show that our proposed STC not only achieves better performance in terms of blocking probability and spectral utilization ratio than CTA and STA, but also does not cause higher average joint failure probability or larger average hops compared with STA. As a result, STC makes the best use of spectral resources and does not cause large average joint failure probability.

Cotton Physiological Parameters Affected by Episodic Irrigation Interruption

Improving cotton irrigation management practices in West Texas is important for increasing farmers＇ profits and for sustainability of the Ogallala aquifer. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects in field controlled episodic drought conditions on cotton gas exchange. Irrigated cotton was subjected to water stress at different timings. Irrigation was interrupted at the squaring stage, early flowering stage, from three weeks at peak bloom, and from peak bloom to the crop termination. These episodic drought treatments were compared with cotton fully irrigated throughout the whole season. From 2010 to 2012, cotton cultivar FM9180 gas exchange was measured throughout the season using a LiCor-6400 portable photosynthesis system. In 2011 and 2012, measurements were also made on DP0935 cultivar. The cotton physiological parameters evaluated included photosynthesis, transpiration and temperature. From the several parameters evaluated, some relationships were presented. Episodic drought periods can affect leaf-level gas exchange and impact yield. Photosynthesis and yield were particularly sensitive to water deficit at early flowering. Despite an increase in leaf water use efficiency under water deficit, overall growth and yield were inhibited in all treatments with a stress component. Understanding the relative sensitivity at different growth stages can help with irrigation decisions when water resources are limited.

Rate-embedded differential space-time-frequency coding scheme

In multiple-input-multiple-output orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplexing （MIMO-OFDM） system, a rate-embedded differential space-time-frequency （DSTF） coding scheme was proposed. Both the conventional space-time codes and coding techniques in frequency domain were employed to build high rate and low rate space-time-frequency message matrices. Then both types of message matrices were differentially transmitted alternately in the frequency domain. Consequently, the total transmission rate could be improved greatly. At receiver, a simple decision feedback differential detector （SDF-DD） was adopted to further enhance the total error performance with approximate DD complexity. Simulation results verified that the proposed scheme can implement high rate and high reliability differential transmission. Compared with the conventional DSTF coding schemes, the proposed scheme achieves higher spectral efficiency and much better error performance.

Influence of Disassociation Probability on External Quantum Efficiency in Organic Electrophosphorescent Devices

An analytical model is presented to calculate the disassociation probability and the external quantum efficiency at high field in doped organic electrophosphorescence(EPH) devices. The charge recombination process and the triplet(T)-triplet(T) annihilation processes are taken into account in this model. The influences of applied voltage and the thickness of the device on the disassociation probability, and of current density and the thickness of the device on the external quantum efficiency are studied thoroughly by including and ignoring the disassociation of excitons. It is found that the dissociation probability of excitons will come close to 1 at high electric field, and the external EPH quantum efficiency is almost the same at low electric field. There is a large discrepancy of the external EPH quantum efficiency at high electric field for including or ignoring the disassociation of excitons.

Multifrequency Magneto-optic Bragg Diffraction and Radio Frequency Signal Parallel Processing

Magneto-optic(MO)coupling of guided optical waves with microwave magnetostatic waves(MSWs)simultaneously excited by multiple radio frequency(RF)signals can lead to multifrequency diffraction effects and then parallel processing of RF signals can be realized by using of the characteristics that diffraction efficiencies(DEs)are approximately in direct proportion to RF signals intensities and diffraction angles are related to frequencies of the corresponding RF signals within linear MO interaction region.In this paper,studied is the multifrequency MO Bragg diffraction in first-order MO interaction approximation,and obtained was the approximate analytical expression for principle diffraction efficiency(PDE).Also,put forward was a parallel imaging method of relative intensity of RF signals based on single-frequency diffraction.By calculation and analysis,it is shown that the relative error is not more than 0.3dB for the case of three RF signals within the frequency space of 60MHz.

A Study on Photosynthetic Physiological Characteristics of Six Rare and Endangered Species

The parameters of gas exchange and chlorophyl fluorescence in leaves of six rare and endangered species Neolitsea sericea, Cinnamomum japonicum var. cheni , Sinojackia microcarpa, Discocleidion glabrum var. trichocarpum, Parrotia sub-aequalis, Cercidiphyl um japonicum were measured in fields. The results showed that there were significant differences in photosynthetic capacity, intrinsic water use effi-ciency （WUEi ）, the efficiency of primary conversion of light energy of PSⅡ and its potential activity, the quantum yield of PSⅡ electron transport, and the potential ca-pacity of heat dissipation among the six species. However, there was no significant difference in WUE. The highest values of net photosynthetic rate （Pn）, transpiration rate （Tr） and stomatal conductance （gs） occurred in D. glabrum var. trichocarpum and the lowest in S. microcarpa. On the contrary, D. glabrum var. trichocarpum had the lowest WUE, intrinsic water use efficiency （WUEi ） and S. microcarpa had the highest. The results indicated that D. glabrum var. trichocarpum had higher photo-synthetic capacity and poorer WUE, while S. microcarpa had lower photosynthetic capacity and greater WUE. Furthermore, the mean values of maximal fluorescence （Fm）, potential efficiency of primary conversion of light energy of PSⅡ （Fv/Fm）,ΦPSⅡ, actual efficiency of primary conversion of light energy of PSⅡ （F′v/F′m） and non-photochemical quenching coefficient （NPQ） were the highest in S. micro-carpa, indicating that its PSⅡ had higher capacity of heat dissipation and could prevent photosynthetic apparatus from damage by excessive light energy. Correlation analysis showed that there were significant correlations among photosynthetic physi-ological parameters. However, the initial fluorescence （Fo） was not significantly cor-related with any other parameters. This study also revealed the extremely significant positive correlations between Pn and Tr, gs, apparent quantum yield （AQY）, be-tween Tr and gs, between light saturation point （LSP） and AQY, between Fv/Fm and Fm, between ΦPSⅡ and photochemical quenching coefficient （qp）, between Tr, gs and LSP, AQY. However, WUEi was significantly negatively correlated with Tr, gs, Pn, LSP and AQY.

Effect of Removing the Lower Leaves on the Physiological Features and Aroma Constituents of Flue-Cured Tobacco

Yunyan 97 was selected as the raw material. The effects of removing different number （0, 2, 3 and 4） of lower leaves on root activity, chlorophyll content, physiological features and contents of neutral aroma constituents in the flue-cured tobacco were analyzed. The results showed that the removal of lower leaves could significantly increase the root activity, chlorophyll content, net photosynthetic rate （Pn） and transpiration rate （Tr）, and delay the photosynthetic functional decline. Such effects were the greatest in lower leaves, followed by middle leaves and upper leaves. Moreover, the degree of the effects increased with higher number of leaves removed. After She lower leaves were removed, the water use efficiency （WUE） of leaves in the first 10 d became higher with more leaves removed. In the later periods （24 d, 38 d）, WUE decreased with more leaves removed. For the middle and upper leaves, the removal of three leaves （T2） and two leaves （T1） resulted in the highest contents of aroma constituents, respectively. For the tobaccos cultured in soil with moderate fertility under the experimental conditions, the appropriate number of lower leaves removed should be 2-3.

Rational design of perfectly oriented thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitter for efficient red electroluminescence

How to control the dipole orientation of organic emitters is a challenge in the field of organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs).Herein,a linear thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF)molecule,PhNAI-PMSBA,bearing a 1,8-naphthalimide-acridine framework was designed by a doublesite long-axis extension strategy to actively control the dipole orientation.The horizontal ratio of emitting dipole orientation of PhNAI-PMSBA reaches 95%,substantially higher than that of isotropic emitters(67%).This unique feature is associated with the intrinsically horizontal molecular orientation of PhNAI-PMSBA and the good agreement between its transition dipole moment direction and molecular long axis.The PhNAI-PMSBA-based OLED achieves an ultrahigh optical outcoupling efficiency of 43.2%and thus affords one of the highest red electroluminescence with an external quantum efficiency of 22.3%and the Commission International de l’Eclairage 1931 coordinates at around(0.60,0.40).

In situ FT-IR investigation on the reaction mechanism of visible light photocatalytic NO oxidation with defective g-C_3N_4

The g-C_3N_4 with different structures was prepared by heat treatment using urea(CN-U) and thiourea(CN-T) as precursors under the same conditions. The microstructure and optical properties of the photocatalyst were analyzed with advanced tools. The results showed that the CN-U has a porous structure, a high specific surface area and a wide band gap in comparison with CN-T. The in situ FT-IR technique was used to monitor the adsorption and reaction process of visible photocatalytic NO oxidation on g-C_3N_4. The corresponding reaction mechanism was proposed based on the results of reaction intermediate observation and electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR) radical scavenging. It was revealed that(1) the presence of defective sites favored the adsorption of gas molecules and electronically compensated it leading to promoted formation of the final products;(2) the high separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs enhanced the production of radicals during the photocatalytic reaction;(3) the hydroxyl radicals(-OH) are not selective for the decomposition of pollutants, which are favorable to the complete oxidation of the reaction intermediates. The above three aspects are the main reasons for the CN-U possessing the efficient visible light photocatalytic activity. The present work could provide new insights and methods for understanding the mechanism of photocatalysis.

Efficient CHzNHzPbl3 perovskite solar cells with 2TPA- n-DP hole-transporting layers

CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells with 2TPA-n-DP （TPA = 4,4＇-（（1E, I＇E,3E,3＇E）- [1,1＇-biphenyl]4,4＇-diylbis（buta-1,3-diene-4,1-diyl））; DP = bis（N,N-di-p-tolylaniline）; n = 1, 2, 3, 4） as hole-transporting materials （HTMs） have been fabricated. After optimization of the mesoporous TiO2 film thickness, devices based on 2TPA- 2-DP with power conversion efficiencies （PCEs） of up to 12.96% have been achieved, comparable to those of devices with （2,2＇,7,7＇-tetrakis（N,N-di-p- methoxyphenylamine）-9,9＇-spirobifluorene） （spiro-OMeTAD） as HTM under similar conditions. Further time-resolved photoluminescence （PL） measurements showed a fast charge transfer process at the perovskite/2TPA-2-DP interface. With the aid of electrochemical impedance spectra, a study of the electron blocking ability of 2TPA-2-DP in the device reveals that the presence of 2TPA-2-DP can greatly increase charge transfer resistance at the HTM/Au interface in the device, thus reducing the recombination. Furthermore, the perovskite solar cells based on these four HTMs exhibit ~ood stability after testin~ for one month.
