As an intermediate interface, nanomechanical resonator optomechanically couples both optomechanical cavities in the optical and microwave frequency domains. We find the double-optomechanically induced transparency and achieve coherent signal waveform bi-directional transfer between microwave and optical fields based on quantum interference. In addition, we give an analytical expression of one-to-one correspondence between the microwave field and the optical output field, which intuitively shows the reversible waveform conversion relationship. In particular,by numerical simulations and approximate expression, we demonstrate the conversion effects of the three waveforms and discuss the bi-directional conversion efficiency and the bandwidth. such a hybrid opto-and electro-mechanical device has significant potential functions for electro-optic modulation and waveform conversion of quantum microwave-optical field in optical communications and further quantum networks.展开更多

The electrodes were examined by means of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectrum (XPS). The results indicate that the prepared films are cubic Cu2O crystals, and annealing enhances the size and preferred orientation of the films. The photoelectric conversion mechanism of semiconducting ITO/Cu2O electrodes in 0.1 mol/L potassium sulfate (K2SO4) solution is further discussed by using Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV) method. The differences of photoelectric conversion of electrodes are reasonably deduced and proved through surfactant modifying, annealing or not, respectively.展开更多

A - 16% improvement in photoelectric conversion efficiency (η) is observed for the devices fabricated with a binary hybrid composite of the obtained CNT and TiO2 compared to pure TiO2 device. The result of EIS analysis reveals that the interfacial resistance of the TiO2-dye| I3^-/I- electrolyte interface of TiO2-CNT composite cell is much lower than that of pure TiO2 cell. In addition, the TiOa-CNT composite cell exhibits longer electron recombination time, shorter electron transport time, and higher charge collection efficiency than those of pure TiO2 cell. Systematic investigations reveal that the CNT boosts the light harvesting ability of the photovoltaic devices by enhancing not only the visible light absorption but also the charge separation and transfer.展开更多
