The average extension of A- DNA-YOYO-1 complex is found to be 20.9μm, about 30% longer than the contour length of the DNA in TE buffer （10 mmol/L Tris, 1 mmol/L EDTA, pH=8.0）, due to bis-intercalation of YOYO-1. A multivalent cation, hexammine cobalt, is used for DNA condensation. We find that the length of DNA-[Co（NH3）6]3＋ complexes decrease from 20.9 μm to 5.9μm as the concentration of the [Co（NH3）6]3＋ vary from 0 to 3 μmol/L. This observation provides a direct visualization of single DNA condensation induced by hexammine cobalt. The results from the molecular combing studies are supported by dynamic light scattering investigation, where the average hydrodynamic radius of the DNA complex decreases from 203.8 nm to 39.26 nm under the same conditions. It shows that the molecular combing method is feasible for quantitative conformation characterization of single bio-macromolecules.展开更多

The universal rotatable composite design is adopted to get the highly precise regression equations, in which the variables are combing roller speed and yarn linear density considered to be the main technological parameters of combing roller and, the responses are the evaluation indexes concerning spinning stability, fiber length distribution of fibre ring from rotor groove and yarn properties. Based on these regression equations, the contours are plotted to analyse the influences of the parameters on the evaluation indexes; the optimization multicriteria mathematical model is simultaneously established to obtain the optimum parameters with the aid of Object Programming Approach along with Constrained Random Ray Method. Finally, an experiment is carried out to further test the acceptance of the calculated optimum values. It is shown that, for any yarn linear density within 6—13 Ne (98.4—45.4 tex), combing roller speed varying from 5000 to 9150 r/min affects content of extra-long fibre in fibre ring from rotor groove and yarn properties but does not significantly influence spinning stability; 7075 r/min, at which the SAQ-12 type of saw-toothed combing roller runs, is recommended to be the optimum combing roller speed for producing 6—13 Ne (98.4—45.4 tex) pure ramie noil yarns, where a compromise is achieved among the lowest content of extra-long fibre in fibre ring, the best spinning stability and the best yarn properties.展开更多

This paper presents a multiplexed gas sensing system basedon optical frequency comb (OFC) calibrated frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) tuning nonlinearity. Thesystem can be used for multi-parameter synchronous measurement of gas absorption spectrum and multiplexed opticalpath. Multi-channel parallel detection is realized by combining wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and frequencydivision multiplexing (FDM) techniques. By introducing nonlinear optical crystals, broadband spectrum detection is simultaneouslyachieved over a bandwidth of hundreds of nanometers. An OFC with ultra-high frequency stability is used asthe frequency calibration source, which guarantees the measurement accuracy. The test samples involve H13C14N, C_(2)H_(2)and Rb vapor cells of varying densities and 5 parallel measurement experiments are designed. The results show that themeasurement accuracies of spectral absorption line and the optical path are 150 MHz and 20 m, respectively. The schemeoffers the advantages of multiplexed, multi-parameter, wide spectrum and high resolution detection, which can realize theidentification of multi-gas components and the high-precision inversion of absorption lines under different environments.The proposed sensor demonstrates great potential in the field of high-resolution absorption spectrum measurement for gassensing applications.展开更多

文摘The increasing demand in spectroscopy and sensing calls for infrared(mid-IR)light sources.Here,we theoretically investigate nonlinear wavelength conversion of Ge_(28)Sb_(12)Se_(60)chalcogenide glass waveguide in the mid-IR spectral regime.With waveguide dispersion engineering,we predict generation of over an octave wavelength(2.8μm-5.9μm)tuning range Raman soliton self-frequency shift,over 2.5 octaves wavelength cover range supercontinuum(1.2μm-8.0μm),as well as single soliton Kerr comb generated in suspended Ge_(28)Sb_(12)Se_(60)waveguide.Our findings evidenced that Ge_(28)Sb_(12)Se_(60)chalcogenide glass waveguides can simultaneously satisfy the generation of Raman soliton self-frequency shift,supercontinuum spectrum,and Kerr frequency comb generation through dispersion engineering towards mid-IR on chip.

文摘Optical frequency combbased Fourier transform spectroscopy has the features of broad spectral bandwidth,high sensitivity,andmultiplexed trace gas detection,which has valuable application potential in the fields of precision spectroscopy and trace gas detection.Here,we report the development of a mid-infrared Fourier transform spectrometer based on an optical frequency comb combined with a Herriott-type multipass cell.Using this instrument,the broadband absorption spectra of several important molecules,including methane,acetylene,water molecules and nitrous oxide,are measured by near real-time data acquisition in the 2800-3500 cm^(-1)spectral region.The achieved minimum detectable absorption of the instrument is 4.4×10^(-8)cm^(-1)·Hz^(-1/2)per spectral element.Broadband spectra of H_(2)0 are fited using the Voigt profile multispectral fitting technique and the consistency of the concentration inversion is 1%.Our system also enables precise spectroscopic measurements,and it allows the determination of the spectral line positions and upper state constants of N_(2)O in the(0002)-(1000)band,with results in good agreement with those reported by Toth[Appl.Opt.30,5289(1991)].

文摘Frequency combs with equally spaced frequency lines show great potentials for applications in spectroscopy,imag-ing,communications,and so on.In the terahertz frequency region,the quantum cascade laser(QCL)is an ideal radiation source for frequency comb and dual-comb operation.The systematic evaluation of phase noise characteristics of terahertz QCL frequency comb and dual-comb sources is of great importance for high precision measurements.In this work,we present detailed measurements and analysis of the phase noise characteristics of terahertz QCL frequency comb and dual-comb sources emitting around 4.2 THz with repetition frequencies of~6.2 GHz.The measurement results for the current noise of the direct current(DC)sources(that are used to electrically pump the terahertz QCLs)indicate that at 100 Hz,the current noise for DC-1 and DC-2 is 0.3895 and 0.0982 nA/Hz1/2,respectively.Such levels of current noise can be safely disregarded.The phase noise of radio frequency(RF)generators(that are employed for injection locking and phase locking),intermode beatnotes,and dual-comb signals with and without phase-locked loop(PLL)are all measured and compared.The experimental results show that in the free-running mode,the phase noise of the intermode beatnote signals is always lower than that of the dual-comb sig-nals across all frequencies.Additionally,the phase noise induced by the RF generators is negligible.By employing the phase lock-ing technique,the phase noise of the intermode beatnote and dual-comb signals in the low offset frequency band can be signifi-cantly suppressed.At an offset frequency of 100 Hz,the measured phase noise values of the dual-comb line without and with phase locking are 15.026 and-64.801 dBc/Hz,respectively.

文摘Laser absorption spectroscopy has proven to be an effective approach for gas sensing, which plays an important rolein the fields of military, industry, medicine and basic research. This paper presents a multiplexed gas sensing system basedon optical frequency comb (OFC) calibrated frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) tuning nonlinearity. Thesystem can be used for multi-parameter synchronous measurement of gas absorption spectrum and multiplexed opticalpath. Multi-channel parallel detection is realized by combining wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and frequencydivision multiplexing (FDM) techniques. By introducing nonlinear optical crystals, broadband spectrum detection is simultaneouslyachieved over a bandwidth of hundreds of nanometers. An OFC with ultra-high frequency stability is used asthe frequency calibration source, which guarantees the measurement accuracy. The test samples involve H13C14N, C_(2)H_(2)and Rb vapor cells of varying densities and 5 parallel measurement experiments are designed. The results show that themeasurement accuracies of spectral absorption line and the optical path are 150 MHz and 20 m, respectively. The schemeoffers the advantages of multiplexed, multi-parameter, wide spectrum and high resolution detection, which can realize theidentification of multi-gas components and the high-precision inversion of absorption lines under different environments.The proposed sensor demonstrates great potential in the field of high-resolution absorption spectrum measurement for gassensing applications.

文摘Dual-comb interferometric systems with high time accuracy have been realized for various applications.The flourishing ultralow noise dual-comb system promotes the measurement and characterization of relative timing jitter,thus improving time accuracy.With optical solutions,introducing an optical reference enables 105 harmonics measurements,thereby breaking the limit set by electrical methods;nonlinear processes or spectral interference schemes were also employed to track the relative timing jitter.However,such approaches operating in the time domain either require additional continuous references or impose stringent requirements on the amount of timing jitter.We propose a scheme to correct the relative timing jitter of a free-running dual-comb interferometry assisted by a Fabry-Pérot(F-P)cavity in the frequency domain.With high wavelength thermal stability provided by the F-P cavity,the absolute wavelength deviation in the operating bandwidth is compressed to<0.4 pm,corresponding to a subpicosecond sensitivity of pulse-to-pulse relative timing jitter.Also,Allan deviation of 10^(-10) is obtained under multiple coherent averaging,which lays the foundation for mode-resolved molecular spectroscopic applications.The spectral absorption features of hydrogen cyanide gas molecules at ambient temperature were measured and matched to the HITRAN database.Our scheme promises to provide new ideas on sensitive measurements of relative timing jitter.

文摘The optoelectronic oscillator(OEO)is a typical time-delay system with rich nonlinear dynamical characteristics.Most of the previous research on OEOs has been focused on analyzing the properties of OEOs with a long time delay,which makes it difficult to realize mode locking without additional phaselocking mechanisms.We have achieved,for the first time to our knowledge,a self-mode-locking OEO and generated stable microwave frequency combs by analyzing the characteristics of OEOs with an ultrashort time scale.In the experiment,the self-mode-locking OEOs with fundamental mode,second-order harmonic,and sixth-order harmonic were realized by adjusting the system parameters,all of which produced uniform square wave signals with tunable duty cycles,steep rising and falling edges,and periods of less than 20 ns.The self-fundamental-mode-locking OEOs with different time delays were also implemented and experimentally realized.Furthermore,the experiment revealed the self-hybrid mode-locking OEO,which is the coexistence and synchronization of the three measured self-locking modes in one OEO cavity,demonstrating the complex nonlinear dynamical behaviors of the OEO system and enabling the generation of periodic nonuniform hybrid square wave signals.The realization of the self-mode-locking OEO and the generation of flexible and stable square wave signals at ultrashort time scales enrich the study of OEO nonlinear dynamics in the realm of complex microwave waveform generation,offering promising applications in areas such as atomic clocks,radars,communications,and optoelectronic neural networks.
