文摘Ln@MOFs by anchoring rare metal ions(Ln) into metal-organic frameworks(MOFs) are proved to have great potential in the field of luminescent molecular thermometer.Nevertheless,the current research indicated that the poor structural stability and low sensitivity hindered their application scope.In this work,a new MOF Zn-450 luminescent thermometer with multiple emission fluorescence characteristics was synthesized by the combination of 3,3,5,5-biphenyl tetracarboxylic acid(H_(4)L) and Zn^(2+) ion under solvothermal conditions.Interestingly,a high relative sensitivity of 1.43 % K^(-1) was found within 80-300 K based on Zn-450.Subsequently,two high-sensitivity luminescent Ln@MOFs(Ln = Eu and Tb) were further fabricated by doping rare earth ions into Zn-450 based on the post-synthesis strategy.Among them,the Eu@Zn-450 demonstrates various luminous behaviors while achieving an increased relative sensitivity of 1.63 % K^(-1).In addition,the continuously visible red,pink,and purple luminescent emissions at the same temperature range were observed,suggesting that the Eu@Zn-450 could be utilized as a luminescent colorimetric molecular thermometer.Importantly,this work can present new possibilities for the development of rare earth-doped luminescence and its temperature sensing properties.

文摘In the realm of secure information storage,optical encryption has emerged as a vital technique,particularly with the miniaturization of encryption devices.However,many existing systems lack the necessary reconfigurability and dynamic functionality.This study presents a novel approach through the development of dynamic optical-to-chemical energy conversion metamaterials,which enable enhanced steganography and multilevel information storage.We introduce a micro-dynamic multiple encryption device that leverages programmable optical properties in coumarin-based metamaterials,achieved through a direct laser writing grayscale gradient strategy.This methodology allows for the dynamic regulation of photoluminescent characteristics and cross-linking networks,facilitating innovative steganographic techniques under varying light conditions.The integration of a multi-optical field control system enables real-time adjustments to the material’s properties,enhancing the device’s reconfigurability and storage capabilities.Our findings underscore the potential of these metamaterials in advancing the field of microscale optical encryption,paving the way for future applications in dynamic storage and information security.

文摘In winter 2018,an aerosol physicochemical experiment was conducted in the Western Pacific Ocean(WPO)aboard the Research Vessel KEXUE of Chinese Academy of Sciences.This study systematically investigated both natural and anthropogenic effects on marine aerosols optical properties,as well as the applicability of multi-satellite products and IMPROVE equation.The averaged aerosol optical depth(AOD500 nm)was 0.31±0.16 andÅngström exponent440–675 nm was 0.29±0.30.In offshore China,significant anthropogenic emissions affected the marine environment.In remote WPO,dust aerosols transported from northern China,Siberia,Central Asia,and those settling from the upper troposphere originating from north Africa,Arabian peninsula,and western India,were dominant.The spatial trends of AOD were opposite in the mid-latitude and southern seas of WPO.The highest AOD,0.32±0.23,appeared along the coast of South Asia at mid-latitude,decreasing from offshore seas to remote oceans.In low-latitude and equatorial seas,AOD significantly increased from coast to remote oceans.Ångström exponent dropped significantly from the coast to remote oceans as anthropogenic influence diminished across the entire WPO.Correlation analysis showed that both MODIS-C6 and Himawari AOD prod-ucts showed similar applicability in coastal urban areas,while Himawari AOD is highly recommended for coastal background and marine environment due to its finer resolution.The extinction coefficient derived from PM_(2.5) chemical compositions using IMPROVE algorithm exhibited a significant correlation(R^(2)=0.58)with the con-currently measured AOD in the absence of long-distance transport,suggesting that the IMPROVE is a reasonable proxy of the columnar average of marine aerosol extinctions free from transport influences.

文摘Background:Diabetic macular edema is a prevalent retinal condition and a leading cause of visual impairment among diabetic patients’Early detection of affected areas is beneficial for effective diagnosis and treatment.Traditionally,diagnosis relies on optical coherence tomography imaging technology interpreted by ophthalmologists.However,this manual image interpretation is often slow and subjective.Therefore,developing automated segmentation for macular edema images is essential to enhance to improve the diagnosis efficiency and accuracy.Methods:In order to improve clinical diagnostic efficiency and accuracy,we proposed a SegNet network structure integrated with a convolutional block attention module(CBAM).This network introduces a multi-scale input module,the CBAM attention mechanism,and jump connection.The multi-scale input module enhances the network’s perceptual capabilities,while the lightweight CBAM effectively fuses relevant features across channels and spatial dimensions,allowing for better learning of varying information levels.Results:Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed network achieves an IoU of 80.127%and an accuracy of 99.162%.Compared to the traditional segmentation network,this model has fewer parameters,faster training and testing speed,and superior performance on semantic segmentation tasks,indicating its highly practical applicability.Conclusion:The C-SegNet proposed in this study enables accurate segmentation of Diabetic macular edema lesion images,which facilitates quicker diagnosis for healthcare professionals.
文摘As the types of traffic requests increase,the elastic optical network(EON)is considered as a promising architecture to carry multiple types of traffic requests simultaneously,including immediate reservation(IR)and advance reservation(AR).Various resource allocation schemes for IR/AR requests have been designed in EON to reduce bandwidth blocking probability(BBP).However,these schemes do not consider different transmission requirements of IR requests and cannot maintain a low BBP for high-priority requests.In this paper,multi-priority is considered in the hybrid IR/AR request scenario.We modify the asynchronous advantage actor critic(A3C)model and propose an A3C-assisted priority resource allocation(APRA)algorithm.The APRA integrates priority and transmission quality of IR requests to design the A3C reward function,then dynamically allocates dedicated resources for different IR requests according to the time-varying requirements.By maximizing the reward,the transmission quality of IR requests can be matched with the priority,and lower BBP for high-priority IR requests can be ensured.Simulation results show that the APRA reduces the BBP of high-priority IR requests from 0.0341 to0.0138,and the overall network operation gain is improved by 883 compared to the scheme without considering the priority.

文摘Achieving non-centrosymmetric(NCS) configurations in ABX3-type hybrid halides remains a critical challenge for nonlinear optical(NLO) materials due to the conflicting requirements of high second-harmonic generation(SHG) response,wide bandgap,and phase-matching capabilities.Herein,we propose a triplesite modulation strategy by synergistically tailoring the A-site cations(2-methylimidazole cation/1-ethyl-3-methylimidazole cation),B-site metals(Sn^(2+)/Pb^(2+)),and X-site halogens(Cl/Br),which effectively disrupts lattice symmetry and enables NCS crystallization.Our results demonstrate a strong SHG response,an expanded optical bandgap and increased birefringence.The optimized compound C_(6)H_(11)N_(2)PbCl_(3) exhibits a moderately strong SHG efficiency of 3.8 × KDP,a wide bandgap(3.87 eV),and enhanced birefringence(0.139@1064 nm),surpassing majority hybrid NLO materials.The innovative anionic framework introduced here broadens the scope of hybrid NLO crystals,facilitating the integration of various aromatic heterocyclic cations.This research provides a robust strategic framework for the development of advanced NLO materials.

文摘In this paper,we analyze the physical layer security(PLS)performance of a free-space optical(FSO)communication system composed of a transmitting satellite and ground users.Specifically,the FSO fading channels follow the Málaga distribution.Further,we scrutinize the influence of non-zero boresight pointing errors and angle-of-arrival fluctuations on the PLS performance for the first time.We derived the probability density function and cumulative density function of the FSO link,followed by the closed-form expressions of the secrecy outage probability(SOP)and the probability of strictly positive secrecy capacity(SPSC).The asymptotic SOP expression at the high signal-to-noise ratio regime and diversity order are also provided to reveal the physical mechanism of the PLS of the considered system.Finally,Monte Carlo simulation results are presented to verify the correctness of the analytical expressions.The results afford helpful insights for the future design of satellite FSO communication systems.

文摘Laser wakefield accelerators(LWFAs)offer acceleration gradients up to 1000 times higher than those of conventional radio-frequency accelerators,offering a pathway to significantly more compact and cost-effective accelerator systems.This breakthrough opens up new possibilities for laboratory-scale light sources.All-optical inverse Compton scattering(AOCS)sources driven by LWFAs produce high-brightness,quasimonochromatic X rays with micrometer-scale source sizes,delivering the spatial coherence and resolution required for X-ray phase-contrast imaging(XPCI).These features position AOCS X-ray sources as promising tools for applications in biology,medicine,physics,and materials science.However,previous AOCS-based imaging studies have primarily focused on X-ray absorption imaging.In this work,we report successful experimental demonstrations of edge-enhanced in-line XPCI using energy-tunable,quasi-monochromatic AOCS X rays.With a spatial resolution of~20μm,our results clearly show the potential of high-resolution,AOCS-based XPCI applications.
文摘Five samples of LiMgPO_(4):Gd were prepared via five different production processes using a solid-state reaction method.The effects of the preparation process on optically stimulated luminescence(OSL)and thermoluminescence(TL)were investigated.Considering its high sensitivity,low fading,and minimum detectable dose(MDD),the LiMgPO_(4):Gd phosphor heated to 900℃for 15 h is concluded to be optimal.The effects of annealing on the OSL sensitivity,relative residual OSL signals measured after 24 h of irradiation,and MDD of LiMgPO_(4):Gd phosphors heated to 900℃for 15 h were also investigated.Considering its high sensitivity,low fading,and MDD,annealing at 350℃for 1 h is concluded to be optimal.The OSL signal of LiMgPO_(4):Gd was derived from the principal TL glow peak.For a maximum integration time of 5 s,the OSL signal was stable,with no fading 30 days after irradiation.LiMgPO_(4):Gd eliminated approximately 2.2%of the OSL signal at each readout for a readout time of 0.1 s,which is sufficient for fast and multiple OSL readout.The sensitivity of LiMgPO_(4):Gd phosphor,annealed for 1 h at 350℃with a reading time of 0.1 s,was found to be approximately 98%of that observed forα-Al_(2)O_(3):C(TLD-500k),which should be sufficient for low-dose measurements in personal,workplace,and environmental dosimetry.

文摘Over the past several decades,much research effort has been dedicated to the study of optical windows,with two primary themes emerging as key focuses.The first of these centers on investigating the optical properties of typical transparent single crystals under shock or ramp compression,which helps in the selection of appropriate optical windows for high-pressure experiments.The second involves the exploration of novel optical windows,particularly transparent polycrystalline ceramics,which not only match the shock impedance of the samples,but also preserve transparency under dynamic compression.In this study,we first integrate existing research on the evolution of optical properties in transparent single crystals and polycrystalline ceramics subjected to shock or ramp loading,proposing a mechanism that links mesoscopic damage to macroscopic optical transparency.Subsequently,through a systematic integration of experiments and computational analyses on polycrystalline transparent ceramics,we demonstrate that shock transparency can be enhanced by optimizing grain size and that shock impedance can be designed via compositional tuning.Notably,our results reveal that nano-grained MgAl_(2)O_(4) ceramics exhibit outstanding optical transparency under high shock pressures,highlighting a promising strategy for designing optical windows that retain transparency under extreme dynamic loading conditions.

文摘Optical phase transfer via fiber optics is the most effective method for optical frequency standard comparison on the scale below thousands of kilometers.However,the monotonic phase discrimination range of conventional optical phase-locked loops is limited,and link delays restrict the control bandwidth,which makes it a challenge to achieve a continuously reliable optical link.This paper presents an event-timing-based phase detection method that overcomes the monotonic phase discrimination range limitation of conventional phase-locked loops through dual-edge timestamp recording,achieving an optical phase measurement resolution on the order of 10 attoseconds.With such a technique,we established a 7-segment-cascaded optical link over 1402km of commercial fiber while sharing dense wavelength division multiplexing(DWDM)channels with live telecom traffic.The system maintained continuous operation for 11.7 days without phase cycle slips despite encountering 15 km aerial fiber noise up to 21000 rad^(2)·Hz^(−1)·km^(−1)at 1 Hz.Relative instabilities of the link are 3.7×10^(−15)at 1 s and 3.9×10^(−20)at 100000 s.
