T...A peculiar and regular diffraction pattern is recorded while using either a color or a monochrome charge-coupled device (CCD) camera to capture the image of the micro air plasma produced by femtosecond laser pulses. The diffraction pattern strongly disturbs the observation of the air plasma, so the origin and eliminating method of these diffraction patterns must be investigated. It is found that the Fourier transform of the periodic surface structure of either the mask mosaic of the color CCD or the pixel array of the monochrome CCD is responsible for the formation of the observed pattern. The residual surface reflection from the protection window of a CCD camera plays the essential role in forming the interesting two- dimensional diffraction spots on the same CCD sensor. Both experimental data and theoretical analyses confirm our understanding of this phenomenon. Therefore remov-ing the protection window of the CCD camera can eliminate these diffraction patterns.展开更多

A kind of PC-based charge-coupled device image recognition system is schemed out, which detects the topography changes of the grinding wheel surface. Profile data, which corresponds to the wear and the topography, is measured by using a digital image processing method. The grinding wheel wear is evalualed by analyzing the position deviation of the grinding wheel edge. The online wear compensation is achieved according to the measure results. The precise detection and automatic compensation system is integrated into an open structure CNC curve grinding machine. A practical application is carried out to fulfil the precision curve grinding. The experimental results confirm the benefits of the proposed techniques, and the online detection accuracy is less than 5 um.

The waveguide mode characteristic was evaluated using a charge-coupled device(CCD) camera. It shows that the waveguide is single mode transmission at a wavelength of1 550 nm. The transmission spectra of the long period waveguide gratings were measured by optical spectrum analyzer(OSA) and show an extinction ratio of ~17 dB and a 3 dB bandwidth of ~10 nm at the resonant wavelength. The resonant wavelength moves toward to the long wavelength direction as the waveguide width-difference increases in the same period, and also shifts toward to the long wavelength direction with the increase of the period in the case of the same waveguide width-difference. The method of fabricating a long period waveguide grating based on a patterned annealed proton exchange technique simplifies the fabrication process, and at the same time, reduces the fabrication cost.展开更多

Numerical simulation case was used in this study and a zigzag eccentric temperature distribution was assumed to verify the model. Least square QR-factorization （LSQR） method was introduced to deal with reconstruction equation. It is found that the reconstructed temperature distributions in low-temperature areas had some fluctuations and high-temperature areas were reconstructed well. The whole reconstruction relative error was mainly due to errors in low-temperature areas and the relative error for highest-temperature reconstruction was quite small.展开更多

Collected deposit samples were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy linked with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis （SEM-EDX）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, and X-ray Fluorescence （XRF） to acquire the microstructure, chemical composition, and mineralogy. The deposit thickness of three blends was analyzed between their parent coal A （Datong） and coal B （Shan）, and we noted that the time to reach a stable stage decreased with the ratio of coal B. The addition of coal A into coal B could remarkably restrained the growth and thickness of ash deposits. The results of XRD analysis indicated the initial layer was predominantly comprised of the crystalline minerals quartz, anorthite, or albite except for coal B. All of the blends and coals contained quartz and Ca- to Al-silicates （Ca0.68Na0.32）（All.68Si0.32）Si2O8 in the slag layer where iron-bearing minerals （e.g., ilvaite） were altered into an amorphous phase. The result of SEM-EDX suggested that there was an elemental disparity between the coal ash and deposit.展开更多

Ho...Quantum cryptography and especially quantum key distribution (QKD) is a technique that allocates secure keys only for a short distance. QKD protocols establish secure key by consent of both the sender and receiver. However, communication has to take place via an authenticate channel. Without this channel, QKD is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attack. While not completely secure, it offers huge advantages over traditional methods by the use of entanglement swapping and quantum teleportation. In our research, we adopt the principle of charge-coupled device (CCD) to transfer the qubit from the sender to the receiver via a quantum channel. This technology has an added advantage over polarizer as only the circuit for transmitting the qubit is sufficient. No extra circuitry to implement the polarizer is required.展开更多
