Such joint eflforts by the technique- and application-oriented scientists and engineers have laid the foundation for exploiting the tunable FSRS methodology to investigate a great variety of photosensitive systems and elucidate the underlying functional mechanisms on molecular time scales. Dur- ing spectral analysis, peak line shapes remain a major concern with an intricate dependence on resonance conditions. Here, we present a comprehensive study of line shapes by tuning the Rarnan pump wavelength from red to blue side of the ground-state absorption band of the fluorescent dye rhodarnine 6G in solution. Distinct line shape patterns in Stokes and anti-Stokes FSRS as well as from the low to high-frequency modes highlight the competition between multiple third-order and higher-order nonlinear pathways, governed by difl^rent res- onance conditions achieved by Raman pump and probe pulses. In particular, the resonance condition of probe wavelength is revealed to play an important role in generating circular line shape changes through oppositely phased dispersion via hot luminescence （HL） pathways. Meanwhile, on-resonance conditions of the Rarnan pump could promote excited-state vibrational modes which are broadened and red-shifted from the coincident ground-state vibrational modes, posing challenges for spectral analysis. Certain strategies in tuning the Raman pump and probe to characteristic regions across an electronic transition band are discussed to improve the FSRS usability and versatility as a powerful structural dynamics toolset to advance chemical, physical, materials, and biological sciences.展开更多

Simulation results show that plasmon-induced transparency （PIT） occurs in the transmission spectra, and the sharp asymmetric Fano lines increase the sensitivity to 1.4 ×10^3 nm/RIU. We also analyze the properties of the structure with different radii of the nanodisk and the length of the tooth cavity. Moreover, we find that the PIP only happens when the staggered system is around a fixed location with different separate distances, which is not similar to the previous researches. Our model may be important to photonic-integrated circuits and the sensitivity in sensors.展开更多

In the linear region, the matter response to an XUV light field is usually determined by the complex refractive index ̃n. The absorption signal is directly related to the imaginary part of ̃n, namely, the absorption index. The real part of ̃n refers to the real refractive index, which describes the chromatic dispersion of an optical material. However, the real refractive index information is usually not available in conventional absorption experiments. Here, we investigate the refractive index line shape in ultrafast XUV transient absorption spectroscopy by using a scheme that the XUV pulse traverses the target gas jet off-center. The jet has a density gradient in the direction perpendicular to the gas injection direction, which induces deflection on the XUV radiation. Our experimental and theoretical results show that the shape of the frequency-dependent XUV deflection spectra reproduces the refractive index line profile. A typical dispersive refractive index line shape is measured for a single-peak absorption;an additional shoulder structure appears for a doublet absorption.Moreover, the refractive index line shape is controlled by introducing a later-arrived near-infrared pulse to modify the phase of the XUV free induction decay, resulting in different XUV deflection spectra. The results promote our understanding of matter-induced absorption and deflection in ultrafast XUV spectroscopy.展开更多

The ηc line shapes in exclusive decays or by observing the inclusive photon spectrum are given. The sensitivities to measure the ηc resonance parameters are also evaluated. With more than two thousand ηc events observed, the precision of the ηc decay width measurement will be improved by better than 3%. However, the uncertainties associated with the ηc modified line shapes will dominate the systematic errors and this will prohibit precision mass and width measurements.展开更多

In a recent report [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 121 e2307836121(2024)], we showed that shaped XUV pulses with spectral minima can significantly alter the absorption line shape of helium's 2s2p doubly excited state within a few tens of attoseconds.However, it remains unclear if similar effects could be observed in a singly excited state. In this study, we use shaped XUV pulses to excite helium's 2p singly excited state and couple the 2p and 3d states with a delayed IR pulse. Comparing these results with those from Gaussian XUV pulses, we find that the ATA spectra for the shaped XUV pulses exhibit more pronounced changes with delay, while the changes for the Gaussian pulses are gradual. We also explain these differences through population changes and analytical models. Our findings show that shaped XUV pulses can regulate the dynamics and absorption spectra of a singly excited state.展开更多

The fabricated cloak consists of tensor TL unit cells exhibiting anisotropic effective material parameters, while the background medium consists of isotropic TL unit cells. The simulated and the measured field patterns around the cloak show a fairly good agreement, both demonstrate that the fabricated cloak can shield the cloaked interior area from electromagnetic fields without perturbing the external fields. The scattering of the cloaked perfect electric conductor（PEC） is minimized. Furthermore, the nonresonant property of the TL structure results in a relatively broad bandwidth of the realized cloak, which is clearly observed in our experiment.展开更多

This structure is evolved from the original U-shaped microstrip meander-line slow-wave structure, combining the advantages of a traditional microstrip and a rectangular helix. In this paper, simulations of the electromagnetic characteristics and the beam-wave interaction of this structure are carried out. Our study shows that when the design voltage and the current of a sheet electron beam are set to be 4700 V and 100 mA, respectively, this miniature millimeter-wave power amplifier is capable of delivering 160-W output power with a corresponding gain of 37.3 dB and a maximum interaction efficiency of 34% at 97 GHz.展开更多

By the technique of time domain＇s Ramsey separated oscillatory fields, the buffer gas pressure frequency shifts of 199^Hg^＋ clock transition are measured to be （df/dPNe）（1/f） = 1.8 × 10^-8 Torr^-1 for neon and （df/dPHe） （1/f） = 9.1 × 10^-8 Torr^-1 for helium. Meanwhile, the line-width of 199^Hg^＋ clock transition spectrum with the buffer gas neon is narrower than that with helium at the same pressure. These experimental results show that neon is a more suitable buffer gas than helium in 199^Hg^＋ ions microwave frequency standards because of the 199^Hg^＋ clock transition is less sensitive to neon variations and the better cooling effect of neon. The optimum operating pressure for neon is found to be about 1.0 × 10^-5 Torr in our linear ion trap system.展开更多

A...We propose a technique to precisely measure the line width of the photoassociation spectra of the excited cesium molecule by using a frequency shifter to generate two laser beams with a precise frequency difference. A series of photoassociation （PA） spectra are recorded with two laser beam induced molecular lines, whose peak separation serves as an accurate frequency ruler to measure the line width of the PA spectra. The full width half maximum line width was studied as a function of PA laser intensity. The extrapolated value at zero laser intensity is （34.8± 0.22） MHz. By analyzing other broadening mechanisms, a value of （32.02 ± 0.70） MHz was deduced. It is shown that this scheme is inexpensive, simple, robust, and is promising for applications in a variety of other atomic species.展开更多

Extremely high pore-water pressure reduces the effective strength of the country rock that surrounds a tunnel, thereby lowering the arching effect and stratum stability of the structure. In this paper, the mechanical behavior and shape optimization of the lining structure for the Xiang＇an tunnel excavated in weathered slots are examined. Eight cross sections with different geometric parameters are adopted to study the mechanical behavior and shape optimization of the lining structure. The hyperstatic reaction method is used through finite element analysis software ANSYS. The mechanical behavior of the lining structure is evidently affected by the geometric parameters of crosssectional shape. The minimum safety factor of the lining structure elements is set to be the objective function. The efficient tunnel shape to maximize the minimum safety factor is identified. The minimum safety factor increases significantly after optimization. The optimized cross section significantly improves the mechanical characteristics of the lining structure and effectively reduces its deformation. Force analyses of optimization process and program are conducted parametrically so that the method can be applied to the optimization design of other similar structures. The results obtained from this study enhance our understanding of the mechanical behavior of the lining structure for subsea tunnels. These results are also beneficial to the optimal design of lining structures in general.展开更多

Numerical results indicate that high microwave power, relatively high working pressure, low dielectric constant, and shaped magnetic field profiles will help produce a high-density and uniform plasma source. Exciting both ends by microwave contributed to the high-density and uni- form plasma source as well. Possible mechanisms were analyzed by using the polarization model of low temperature plasma. The generation and propagation processes of the line-shape plasma mainly depend on the interaction of three aspects, i.e. the transmitted part, penetration part and absorptive part of the electromagnetic field. The numerical results were qualitatively consistent with available experimental results from literature. More elaborate descriptions of the three aspects and corresponding interactions among them need to be investigated further to improve the properties of the line-shape plasma.展开更多

We investigated the morphological and genetic diversity and population structure for 76 maize recombinant inbred lines, and then association analysis were further performed between 48 simple sequence repeat loci and 17 morphological traits, consisting of nine ear-related traits and eight other traits. The 48 SSR markers were screened out and further classified into two groups including a group of loci in regions harboring reported quantitative trait loci that affect ear shape and a group of markers distributing on the whole genome randomly. The result indicated that the population of recombinant inbred lines was structured, showing five subpopulations. Our association results revealed that there were 82, 59, and 40 significant associations detected by K-test, logistic regression, and both analysis, respectively. When the 17 traits were considered separately, the significant associations between Q-SSRs and E-traits were raised to 27.8%, whereas the other groups of combinations ranged between 2.3 and 6.3%. As the proportion of significant associations is higher among the Q-SSR subset of markers and the subset of traits related to ear shape than those for all of the other combinations, we conclude that this approach is valid for establishing true positive marker-trait relationships. Our results also demonstrated that association mapping could complement and enhance previous QTL information for marker-assisted selection.展开更多

文摘The expansive spectral coverage and superior optical properties of lithium niobate(LN)offer a comprehensive suite of tools for exploring novel functionalities.Achieving high-quality(Q)photonic resonator cavities is crucial for enhancing light-matter interactions.However,this task is challenging as the device performance is heavily dependent on the fabrication quality of the LN.In this paper,we present experimental validation of an etchless approach to fabricating high-Q photonic crystal nanobeam cavities(PCNBCs).We successfully fabricate PCNBCs with Q factors exceeding 105 while maintaining high transmittance by capitalizing on the low waveguide loss and high fabrication tolerance of TE-polarized mode.Remarkably,the Q factor achieved here exceeds previous reports on etchless LN PCNBCs by over an order of magnitude.Benefiting from this advancement,we further explore a variety of optical functions,including thermo-optic tuning,optically induced bistability,and Fano line shapes generation.These findings present promising prospects for a versatile platform technique,facilitating the development of high-performance electro-optic or acousto-optic modulators,optical logic devices,and quantum photonics,highlighting its significant impact in the field of photonic integration.
