The mechanically con- trollable break junction is the most widely used method for a break junction due to its simplicity and stability. However, the bandwidths of traditional devices are limited to about a few hertz. Moreover, when using traditional methods it is hard to allow independent control of more than one junction. Here we propose on-chip thermally controllable break junctions to overcome these challenges. This is verified by using finite element analysis. Adopting microelectromechanical systems produces features of high bandwidth and independent controllability to this new break junction system. The proposed method will have a wide range of applications on on-chip high speed independent controllable and highly integrated single molecule devices.展开更多

In this work, we establish a carrier transport optimization model incorporating electron injection at the emitter to investigate the carrier dynamics time and impedance spectroscopy in GaAs/AlGaAs QWIPs. Our findings provide novel evidence that the escape time of electrons is the key limiting factor for the 3-dB bandwidth of QWIPs. Moreover, to characterize the impact of carrier dynamics time and non-equilibrium space charge region on impedance, we developed an equivalent circuit model where depletion region resistance and capacitance are employed to describe non-equilibrium space charge region. Using this model, we discovered that under illumination, both net charge accumulation caused by variations in carrier dynamics times within quantum wells and changes in width of non-equilibrium space charge region exert different dominant influences on depletion region capacitance at various doping concentrations.展开更多

文摘Currently,the global 5G network,cloud computing,and data center industries are experiencing rapid development.The continuous growth of data center traffic has driven the vigorous progress in high-speed optical transceivers for optical interconnection within data centers.The electro-absorption modulated laser(EML),which is widely used in optical fiber communications,data centers,and high-speed data transmission systems,represents a high-performance photoelectric conversion device.Compared to traditional directly modulated lasers(DMLs),EMLs demonstrate lower frequency chirp and higher modulation bandwidth,enabling support for higher data rates and longer transmission distances.This article introduces the composition,working principles,manufacturing processes,and applications of EMLs.It reviews the progress on advanced indium phosphide(InP)-based EML devices from research institutions worldwide,while summarizing and comparing data transmission rates and key technical approaches across various studies.

文摘Ultra-narrow bandwidth mode-locked lasers with tunable pulse duration can be versatile light sources for diverse applications.However,the spectral-temporal control of a narrow bandwidth mode-locked laser is challenging due to limited gain and nonlinearity,hindering practical applications of such lasers.We demonstrate a pulse duration widely tunable mode-locked ultra-narrow bandwidth laser using a composite filtering mechanism and a single-wall carbon nanotube.The laser pulse duration can be adjusted from 481 ps to 1.38 ns,which is the widest tuning range achieved in narrow-bandwidth passively mode-locked lasers.When the pulse duration is 1.38 ns,the corresponding spectral width reaches 4 pm(502 MHz).Numerical simulations support the experimental results and show that the evolution of long pulses in the laser cavity behaves similarly to a quasi-continuous wave with a low breathing ratio.We have not only designed a simple and flexible tunable scheme for the dilemma of spectral-temporal control in narrow-bandwidth mode-locked fiber lasers but also provided a unique and idealized light source for various applications that takes into account robust output.

文摘Maximize the resource utilization efficiency and guarantee the quality of service(QoS)of users by selecting the network are the key issues for heterogeneous network operators,but the resources occupied by users in different networks cannot be compared directly.This paper proposes a network selection algorithm for heterogeneous network.Firstly,the concept of equivalent bandwidth is proposed,through which the actual resources occupied by users with certain QoS requirements in different networks can be compared directly.Then the concept of network applicability is defined to express the abilities of networks to support different services.The proposed network selection algorithm first evaluates whether the network has enough equivalent bandwidth required by the user and then prioritizes network with poor applicability to avoid the situation that there are still residual resources in entire network,but advanced services can not be admitted.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm obtained better performance than the baselines in terms of reducing call blocking probability and improving network resource utilization efficiency.

文摘With the growing adoption of artificial intelligence algorithms and neural networks,online learning and adaptive methods for updating the bandwidth have become increasingly prevalent.However,the conditions required to ensure closed-loop stability when employing a time-varying bandwidth,as well as the supporting mathematical foundations,remain insufficiently studied.This paper investigates the stability condition for active disturbance rejection control(ADRC)with a time-varying bandwidth extended state observer(ESO).A new stability condition is derived,which means that the upper bound of rate of change for ESO bandwidth should be restricted.Moreover,under the proposed condition,the closed-loop stability of ADRC with a time-varying bandwidth observer is rigorously proved for nonlinear uncertainties.In simulations,the necessity of the proposed condition is illustrated,demonstrating that the rate of change of ESO bandwidth is crucial for closed-loop stability.

文摘Quantum well infrared photodetectors(QWIPs) based on intersubband transitions hold significant potential for high bandwidth operation. In this work, we establish a carrier transport optimization model incorporating electron injection at the emitter to investigate the carrier dynamics time and impedance spectroscopy in GaAs/AlGaAs QWIPs. Our findings provide novel evidence that the escape time of electrons is the key limiting factor for the 3-dB bandwidth of QWIPs. Moreover, to characterize the impact of carrier dynamics time and non-equilibrium space charge region on impedance, we developed an equivalent circuit model where depletion region resistance and capacitance are employed to describe non-equilibrium space charge region. Using this model, we discovered that under illumination, both net charge accumulation caused by variations in carrier dynamics times within quantum wells and changes in width of non-equilibrium space charge region exert different dominant influences on depletion region capacitance at various doping concentrations.

文摘This study applies a double snap-through mechanism on a box-type oscillating buoy(OB)wave energy converter(WEC)-floating breakwater integrated system(OB WEC-FB)to simultaneously achieve efficient wave energy conversion and nearshore protection within a low-frequency bandwidth.This mechanism consists of four oblique springs and can operate in mono-stable,bi-stable,and tri-stable modes.A viscous-flow-based numerical model is established to investigate the hydrodynamic performance and dynamic behavior of the proposed multi-stable breakwater.The operational performance of the breakwater at different dynamic modes is first compared.The effects of the springs’original length and stiffness coefficient are then analyzed.The results show that the tri-stable breakwater has a wider resonance frequency tuning range than the bi-stable one,both of which outperform the mono-stable and linear ones in shifting the effective bandwidth to a lower frequency range.For a tri-stable breakwater,a large distance between outermost potential wells is conducive to tuning resonance frequency,whereas shallow potential wells limit this effect.The increase in spring stiffness distinctly causes a higher potential barrier and thus constrains the motion response of the breakwater.A well-designed double snap-through mechanism can excite large-amplitude inter-well motion,tune the resonance frequency of breakwater from 3.98 to 1.96 rad/s,and decrease the lower limit of the effective transmission bandwidth from 3.75 to 3.00 rad/s.It is crucial for improving the power absorption and wave attenuation capabilities of multi-stable OB WEC-FB.This study contributes to the limited research on the implementation of a double snap-through mechanism on multifunctional marine structures.It establishes the underlying connection between nonlinear dynamic behaviors and hydrodynamic coefficients.

文摘A wide passband frequency selective surface(FSS)is proposed using a five-layer stacked structure.The proposed structure applies four layers of dielectric plates and five layers of metal patches to provide a passband and exhibits more stable frequency responses and lower insertion loss under wide-angle oblique incidence compared with the typical three-layer metal-dielectric structure.According to the simulation results,the proposed FSS can achieve a passband range of 1.7-2.7 GHz with an insertion loss of less than 0.5 d B and a relative bandwidth of 44.1%,and it can preserve stable transmission characteristics with the incident angle ranging from 0°to 45°.
文摘The explosive growth of data traffic and heterogeneous service requirements of 5G networks—covering Enhanced Mobile Broadband(eMBB),Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication(URLLC),and Massive Machine Type Communication(mMTC)—present tremendous challenges to conventional methods of bandwidth allocation.A new deep reinforcement learning-based(DRL-based)bandwidth allocation system for real-time,dynamic management of 5G radio access networks is proposed in this paper.Unlike rule-based and static strategies,the proposed system dynamically updates itself according to shifting network conditions such as traffic load and channel conditions to maximize the achievable throughput,fairness,and compliance with QoS requirements.By using extensive simulations mimicking real-world 5G scenarios,the proposed DRL model outperforms current baselines like Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM),linear regression,round-robin,and greedy algorithms.It attains 90%–95%of the maximum theoretical achievable throughput and nearly twice the conventional equal allocation.It is also shown to react well under delay and reliability constraints,outperforming round-robin(hindered by excessive delay and packet loss)and proving to be more efficient than greedy approaches.In conclusion,the efficiency of DRL in optimizing the allocation of bandwidth is highlighted,and its potential to realize self-optimizing,Artificial Intelligence-assisted(AI-assisted)resource management in 5G as well as upcoming 6G networks is revealed.
文摘In the field of deep space exploration,the rapid development of terahertz spectrometer has put forward higher requirements to the back-end chirp transform spectrometer(CTS)system.In order to simultaneously meet the measurement requirements of wide bandwidth and high accuracy spectral lines,we built a CTS system with an analysis bandwidth of 1 GHz and a frequency resolution of 100 kHz around the surface acoustic wave(SAW)chirp filter with a bandwidth of 1 GHz.In this paper,the relationship between the CTS nonlinear phase error shift model and the basic measurement parameters is studied,and the effect of CTS phase mismatch on the pulse compression waveform is analyzed by simulation.And the expander error optimization method is proposed for the problem that the large nonlinear error of the expander leads to the unbalanced response of the CTS system and the serious distortion of the compressed pulse waveform under large bandwidth.It is verified through simulation and experiment that the method is effective for reducing the root mean square error(RMSE)of the phase of the expander from 18.75°to 6.65°,reducing the in-band standard deviation of the CTS frequency resolution index from 8.43 kHz to 4.72 kHz,solving the problem of serious distortion of the compressed pulse waveform,and improving the uneven CTS response under large bandwidth.
文摘Three sets of MXene(Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x))@nano-Fe_(1)Co_(0.8)Ni_(1)composites with 15,45,and 90 mg MXene were prepared by in-situ liquid-phase deposition to effectively investigate the impact of the relationship between MXene(Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x))and nano-Fe_(1)Co_(0.8)Ni_(1)magnetic particles on the electromagnetic absorption properties of the composites.The microstructure,static magnetic properties,and electromag-netic absorption performance of these composites were studied.Results indicate that the MXene@nano-Fe_(1)Co_(0.8)Ni_(1)composites were primarily composed of face-centered cubic crystal structure particles and MXene,with spherical Fe_(1)Co_(0.8)Ni_(1)particles uniformly distrib-uted on the surface of the multilayered MXene.The alloy particles had an average particle size of approximately 100 nm and exhibited good dispersion without noticeable particle aggregation.With the increase in MXene content,the specific saturation magnetic and coer-civity of the composite initially decreased and then increased,displaying typical soft magnetic properties.Compared with those of the Fe_(1)Co_(0.8)Ni_(1)magnetic alloy particles alone,MXene addition caused an increasing trend in the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric constant of the composite.Meanwhile,the real and imaginary parts of the magnetic permeability exhibit decreasing trend.With the in-crease in MXene addition,the material attenuation constant increased and the impedance matching decreased.The minimum reflection loss increased,and the maximum effective absorption bandwidth decreased.When the MXene addition was 90 mg,the composite exhib-ited a minimum reflection loss of-46.9 dB with a sample thickness of 1.1 mm and a maximum effective absorption bandwidth of 3.60 GHz with a sample thickness of 1.0 mm.The effective absorption bandwidth of the composites and their corresponding thicknesses showed a decreasing trend with the increase in MXene addition,reducing by 50%from 1.5 mm without MXene addition to 1 mm with 90 mg of MXene addition.
