The structural sizes of the incentive cavities are determined based on the waveguide transmission line theory. Using IE3D software, electromagnetic simulations are respectively carried out in four different situations, including the distances between the magnetron probes （antennas） and a short-circuit board, different horn electric lengths and aperture sizes, different dielectric properties of the asphalt mixture, and the distances between the asphalt surface and the mouth cavity. The results show that, when the distance between the magnetron probe and the short-circuit board is 32.5 ram, it is the best installation site; reduction of aerial length is the main factor in improving the heating uniformity. When the aggregate is limestone, the best heating effect can be produced. Maximum radiation efficiency can be realized by adjusting the space between the heater radiation port and the asphalt pavement. The experimental results of asphalt mixture heating in four different situations have a substantial agreement with the simulation results, which confirms that the developed microwave heater can achieve better impedance matching, thus improving the quality and efficiency of heating regeneration.展开更多

The SMG is sealed in metal can package in drive and sense modes and works under the air pressure of 10 Pa. Its quality factor reaches greater than l0 000. Self-oscillating and closed-loop methods based on electrostatic force feedback are adopted in both measure and control circuits. Both single side driving and sensing methods are used to simplify the drive circuit. These dual channel decomposition and reconstruction closed loops are applied in sense modes. The testing results demonstrate that useful signals and guadrature signals do not interact with each other because of the decoupling of their phases. Under the condition of a scale factor of 9. 6 mV/（（°） .s）, in a full measurement range of±300 （°）/s, the zero bias stability reaches 28 （°）/h with a nonlinear coefficient of 400 × 10^-6 and a simulated bandwidth of more than 100 Hz. The overall performance is improved by two orders of magnitude in comparison to that at atmospheric pressure.展开更多

The microtoroid resonator supports both single mode and multimode Raman lasing with low power thresholds. Observations of Fano and EIT-like phenomena in a packaged microresonator will enable high resolution sensors and can be used in networks where slow-light effect is needed. These results will open up new possibilities for portable, robust, and stable WGM microlasers and resonator-based sensors for applications in various environments.展开更多

Here, we report an experimental study of transient optomechanically induced transparency(OMIT) using the silica microsphere with the breathing modes. The transient OMIT behavior obtained are in good agreement with theoretical calculations. In addition, the coherent interconversion between optical and mechanical excitations that can be used for light storage and readout has also been studied here. Our experimental results indicate that the light storage is closely related to the process of OMIT, and the photon-phonon conversion can be further applied to optical wavelength or optical mode conversion.展开更多

Previous methods often stand just for gold nanoparticles with regular shape and narrow size distribution. In the present work, we proposed an absolute quantification method that determined the molar concentration of gold nanoparticles with arbitrary shapes and polydisperse sizes. This approach involved the real time monitoring and counting of individual nanoparticles collision events, from which the quantification of molar concentration was achieved using a theoretical model consisting of Fiek＇s laws of diffusion and Stokes-Einstein equation. The determination of spherical gold nanoparticles concentration resulted in excellent agreement with traditional spectrometry method. It was further demonstrated that the present approach can be expanded to determine the molar concentration of gold nanoparticles with arbitrary shapes and poly-diversed distributions.展开更多
