However, the coffee ring effect is usually observed due to the mismatch between the evaporation of the solvent and the decrease of solution volume, which promotes the formation of radial flow from the interior of the drop to the edge. In this paper, coffee ring effects of inkjet printed poly(spirobifluorene) films were proposed to be restrained by decreasing capillary force by adding co-solvent with high boiling point and high viscosity to the main solvent. The low evaporation rate of the co-solvent can reduce the driving force of the radial flow; meanwhile the high viscosity of the co-solvent can increase the resistance of the radial flow. Thus, polymer films with improve uniformity can be obtained due to the suppression of the radial flow. The device performance was greatly improved under the condition of proper film thickness and film uniformity and the maximum luminous efficiency of devices with inkjet printed poly(spirobifluorene) can reach 80% of the spin-coated devices.展开更多

However, the nonlinearity of the off-the-shelf projectors and cameras seriously reduces the measurement accuracy. In this paper, first, we review the nonlinear effects of the projector-camera system in the phase-shifting structured light depth measurement method. We show that high order harmonic wave components lead to phase error in the phase-shifting method. Then a practical method based on frequency domain filtering is proposed for nonlinear error reduction. By using this method, the nonlinear calibration of the SL system is not required. Moreover, both the nonlinear effects of the projector and the camera can be effectively reduced. The simulations and experiments have verified our nonlinear correction method.展开更多

The system is studied using both classical and quantized mirror motions. The cavity frequency is harmonically modulated in time for both the cases. The main quantity of interest is the number of intracavity scattered photons. The system has been investigated under the weak and strong modulations. It has been observed that the amplitude of the scattered photons is more for the classical mirror motion than the quantized mirror motion. Also, initially, the amplitude of scattered photons is high for lower modulation amplitude than higher modulation amplitude. We also found that the behavior of the plots are similar under strong and weak modulations for the quantized mirror motion.展开更多

The results showed that the presence of La in the tri-doped TiO_2 played a predominant role in inhibiting the recombination of the photogenerated electrons and holes. The existence of the substitutional N, interstitial N, and oxygen vacancies in TiO_2 lattices led to the band gap narrowing. It was P-doping rather than La or N doping that played a key role in inhibiting both anatase-to-rutile phase transformation and crystal growth, in stabilizing the mesoporous textural properties, and in increasing the content of surface bridging hydroxyl. Moreover, the tri-doping significantly enhanced the surface Ti^(4+)-O^(2-)-Ti^(4+)-O^(-·) species. All above-mentioned factors cooperated to result in the enhanced photoactivity of the tri-doped TiO_2. As a result, it exhibited the highest photoactivity towards the degradation of 4-chlorophenol(4-CP) under visible-light irradiation among all samples, which was much superior to commercial P25 TiO_2.展开更多

In this work, we investigated the effects of bovine serum proteins on the endocytosis of magnetite spherical particles(MSPs). Autophagic effects of MSPs in breast cancer cells were studied. Light scattering based flow cytometry and microscopy were used for evaluating the uptake potential of MSPs by cells and the cellular autophagosome accumulation. Results showed bovine serum proteins significantly reduced the endocytosis of MSPs by decreasing their adsorption to cell membranes. Additionally, serum proteins had influences on the endocytic mechanisms of MSPs.Autophagosome accumulation could be caused by the internalized MSPs rather than the particles associated with cell membrane. Above fundamental findings promote our understandings upon the interactions of MSPs with cells. Light scattering based methods were proved to be simple and effective.The present work may promote their application in studies upon endocytosis of metallic particles in the future.展开更多

The displacements of horizontal and vertical polarization compo- nents vary with the incident angle at different dispersion relations. The transverse displacements can be obtained with the relevant metamaterial whose refractive index can be arbitrarily tailed. The results of the SHEL in the metamaterial provide a new way for manipulating the transverse displacements of a specific polarization component.展开更多

The clear diffraction pattern is observed to be of asymmetry, involving orders, position and interval of the diffraction spots that are discovered during the light grazing incidence. It is found that the larger the angle of incidence is, the more obvious the asymmetry is. The higher the negative diffraction orders are, the smaller the intervals between spots are. On the contrary~ in the positive region, the higher the diffraction orders are, the larger the spot intervals are. The positive interval is larger than that of the same negative diffraction order. If the incident angle reaches 1.558 rad in the experiment, all positive diffraction orders completely vanish. Based on the mechanism of phase modulation and with the Fourier transform method, the relations between the incident angle and position, interval spaces, and orders of diffraction spots are derived theoretically. The theoretical calculations are compared with the experimental data, and the comparison shows that the theoretical calculations are in good agreement with the experimental measurement.展开更多

文摘Scattered light imaging through complex turbid media has significant applications in biomedical and optical research.For the past decade,various approaches have been proposed for rapidly reconstructing fullcolor,depth-extended images by introducing point spread functions(PSFs).However,because most of these methods consider memory effects(MEs),the PSFs have angular shift invariance over certain ranges of angles.This assumption is valid for only thin turbid media and hinders broader applications of these technologies in thick media.Furthermore,the time-variant characteristics of scattering media determine that the PSF acquisition and image reconstruction times must be less than the speckle decorrelation time,which is usually difficult to achieve.We demonstrate that image reconstruction methods can be applied to timevariant thick turbid media.Using the time-variant characteristics,the PSFs in dynamic turbid media within certain time intervals are recorded,and ergodic scattering regimes are achieved and combined as ensemble point spread functions(ePSFs).The ePSF traverses shift-invariant regions in the turbid media and retrieves objects beyond the ME.Furthermore,our theory and experimental results verify that our approach is applicable to thick turbid media with thickness of 1 cm at visible incident wavelengths.

文摘Information concerns endocytosis and autophagic effects of magnetite particles is crucial for understanding the particle-cell interactions. In this work, we investigated the effects of bovine serum proteins on the endocytosis of magnetite spherical particles(MSPs). Autophagic effects of MSPs in breast cancer cells were studied. Light scattering based flow cytometry and microscopy were used for evaluating the uptake potential of MSPs by cells and the cellular autophagosome accumulation. Results showed bovine serum proteins significantly reduced the endocytosis of MSPs by decreasing their adsorption to cell membranes. Additionally, serum proteins had influences on the endocytic mechanisms of MSPs.Autophagosome accumulation could be caused by the internalized MSPs rather than the particles associated with cell membrane. Above fundamental findings promote our understandings upon the interactions of MSPs with cells. Light scattering based methods were proved to be simple and effective.The present work may promote their application in studies upon endocytosis of metallic particles in the future.

文摘We theoretically and experimentally investigate a switchable spin Hall effect(SHE) of light in reflection near the Brewster angle at an air-uniaxial crystal interface.We find a large transverse spin splitting near the Brewster angle,whose sign can be altered by rotating the optical axis.As an analogy of the SHE in an electronic system,a switchable spin accumulation in the SHE of light is detected.We are able to switch the direction of the spin accumulation by adjusting the optical axis angle of the uniaxial crystal.These findings may give opportunities for photon spin manipulating and developing a new generation of nano-photonic devices.

文摘We theoretically investigate a switchable spin Hall effect of light (SHEL) in reflection for three specific dispersion relations at an air-anisotropic metamaterial interface. The displacements of horizontal and vertical polarization compo- nents vary with the incident angle at different dispersion relations. The transverse displacements can be obtained with the relevant metamaterial whose refractive index can be arbitrarily tailed. The results of the SHEL in the metamaterial provide a new way for manipulating the transverse displacements of a specific polarization component.

文摘The supramolecular F?rster resonance energy transfer(FRET)is seen as a promising approach for organic photocatalysis using dyes as catalysts,because it combines the high efficiency of energy transfer with the dynamic responsiveness based on non-covalent interactions.Here we propose a supramolecular FRET photocatalysis strategy forα-oxyamination reaction based on supramolecular confinement effect.The well-designed benzothiadiazole-based cationic monomer as energy donor and the dyes of Nile Red as acceptor are doped into the amphiphilic surfactants of sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS).Benefitting from the supramolecular confinement space provided by SDS in aqueous environment,the FRET process between the monomer and Nile Red is effectively achieved(exciton migration rate:3.99×10^(14)L mol^(-1)s^(-1)).On this basis,the supramolecular FRET system is used as an efficient energy source to catalyzeα-oxyamination reactions between a series of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl under white LED light,showing a yield as high as 94%and a turnover frequency value of 3.92 h^(-1).This photocatalytic result shows a great enhancement compared to that of Nile Red alone.

文摘Periodic photonic structures can provide rich modulation in propagation of light due to well-defined band structures.Especially near band edges,light localization and the effect of near-zero refractive index have attracted wide attention.However,the practically fabricated structures can only have finite size,i.e.,limited numbers of periods,leading to changes of the light propagation modulation compared with infinite structures.Here,we study the size effect on light localization and near-zero refractive-index propagation near band edges in one-dimensional periodic structures.Near edges of the band gap,as the structure's size shrinks,the broadening of the band gap and the weakening of the light localization are discovered.When the size is small,an added layer on the surface will perform large modulation in the group velocity.Near the degenerate point with Dirac-like dispersion,the zero-refractive-index effects like the zero-phase difference and near-unity transmittance retain as the size changes,while absolute group velocity fluctuates when the size shrinks.

文摘The angle compensation method is adopted to detect sloshing waves by laser diffraction, in the case that the wavelength of the sloshing waves is much greater than that of the incident light. The clear diffraction pattern is observed to be of asymmetry, involving orders, position and interval of the diffraction spots that are discovered during the light grazing incidence. It is found that the larger the angle of incidence is, the more obvious the asymmetry is. The higher the negative diffraction orders are, the smaller the intervals between spots are. On the contrary~ in the positive region, the higher the diffraction orders are, the larger the spot intervals are. The positive interval is larger than that of the same negative diffraction order. If the incident angle reaches 1.558 rad in the experiment, all positive diffraction orders completely vanish. Based on the mechanism of phase modulation and with the Fourier transform method, the relations between the incident angle and position, interval spaces, and orders of diffraction spots are derived theoretically. The theoretical calculations are compared with the experimental data, and the comparison shows that the theoretical calculations are in good agreement with the experimental measurement.

文摘With the increasing attention on circadian effects driven by light,lighting industry has inspired a revolution of photobiological lighting design.Due to diverse evaluation criteria for visual and non⁃visual systems,models that combine these evaluation parameters are indeed urgent.Thus,an integrated model for mesopic lighting evaluation of circadian effects was proposed.The circadian efficiency function adopted in this study was synthesized by CIE 1931 XYZ 2 deg color matching functions and standard scotopic sensitivity function.Then,the integrated model composed of International Commission on Illumination 1931 xy chromaticity coordinates,scotopic/photopic ratio,and illuminance could be obtained with synthesized circadian efficiency function.The model showed that for light sources with fixed chromaticity coordinates and fixed illuminance,enhancing the circadian effects is equivalent to increasing the scotopic/photopic ratio,which suggests a useful method for practitioners to explore the photobiologically reasonable spectrum for mesopic lighting.Light⁃emitting diodes spectra optimized by four⁃component color⁃mixing method were employed to figure out the property of the integrated model.
