A HOPG (highly oriented pyrolytic graphite) crystal microsheet was prepared by exfoliation. Cantilevers and doubly clamped beams were patterned using a photoresist. The HOPG microsheet was attached by using a tantalum layer. We fabricated cantilevers and a doubly clamped beam by controlling the thickness of the HOPG microsheet and then measured the first resonance frequency. The measurements suggest a need to improve the stiffness of the beam.展开更多

Through the in- novative use of emerging coherent optical communication technology and the advance- ment of microelectronics technology, the new-generation 100Gb/s transport technology offers a high line rate and unprecedented re- silience to optical transmission impairments. This paper overviews the bandwidth demands of China Mobile driven by the upcoming roll- out of Time Division-Long Term Evolution (TD-LTE) and presents the 100Gb/s trials at China Mobile that were used to verify the performance of a lOOGb/s system. China Mo- bile's considerations, which were based on the trial results, regarding the deployment of lOOGb/s transport systems are introduced, and the requirements of China Mobile for the evo- lution of lOOGb/s transport systems are sum- marized.展开更多

These carbonation reactions were conducted at three p H ranges, namely 10.0–9.0, 9.0–8.0, and 8.0–7.0, in which temperature and CO_2 flow rate are additional experimental variables. The PCC obtained in experiments was examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)and X-ray diffraction(XRD). It was found that supersaturation determined by p H value and flow rate of CO_2 has significant influence on polymorph of PCC. Vaterite was preferably formed at high supersaturation, while dissolution of metastable vaterite and crystallization of calcite occurred at low supersaturation. High temperature is a critical factor for the formation of aragonite. At 70 °C, vaterite, calcite and aragonite were observed to coexist in PCC because transformation from vaterite to aragonite via calcite occurred at this temperature. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) technology was performed on prepared PCC, and various morphologies consistent with polymorphs were observed.展开更多

In this paper, an automated MEMS test system is built of some commercially available components and instruments based on virtual instrument technology. The system is integrated with stroboscopic imaging, computer micro-vision, microscopic Mirau phase shifting interferometry, and laser Doppler vibrometer, and is used for the measurement of full-view in-plane and out-of-plane geometric parameters and periodical motions and single spot out-of-plane transient motion. The system configuration and measurement methods are analyzed, and some applications of the measurement of in-plane and out-of-plane dimensions and motions were described. The measurement accuracy of in-plane dimensions and out-of-plane dimensional is better than 0.2 um and 5 nm respectively. The resolution of measuring in-plane and out-of-plane motions is better than 15 nm and 2 nm respectively.展开更多

The binary single-atom steps and photon anti-bunching are observed by a photon-counting-based HBT system using fluorescence light. The average atom dwelling time in the FORT is about 9 s. To reduce the background noise in the detection procedure we employ a weak probe laser tuned to the D1 line to il- lurninate the single atom from the direction perpendicular to the large-numerical-aperture collimation system. The second or- der degree of coherence g(2)(r)=0.12_+0.02 is obtained directly from the fluorescence light of the single atom without deducting the background. The background light has been suppressed to 10 counts per 50 ms, which is much lower compared with the reported results. The measured g(2)(r) is in good agreement with theoretical analysis. The system provides a simple and effi- cient method to manipulate and measure single neutral atoms, and opens a way to create an efficient controlled single-photon source.展开更多

It proves that the adhesion of SU8 on silicon (Si) substrates is influenced by Si-OH on the surface, and can be improved by the HF treatment. Cracks and de- lamination are caused by large internal stress during fabrication process, and are significantly influenced by soft bake and post-exposure bake processes. The internal stress is reduced by a low post-exposure bake exposure tem- perature of 85 ℃ for 40 rain. A three-step soft bake enhances the reflowing ofSU8 photoresist, and results in uni- form surface and less air bubbles. The vertical side wall is obtained with the optimized exposure dose of 800 mJ/cm2 for the thickness of 160 μm. Using the optimized fabrication process combined with a proper structure design, dense SU8 micro pillars are achieved with the aspect ratio of 10 and the taper angle of 89.86°. Finally, some possible ap- plications of SU8 in micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) device are developed and demonstrated.展开更多
