Phase resonances are observed in the optical response of transmission gratings, and the EM wave passes through the tuning slits in the form of surface plasmon polaritons （SPPs） and obtains the required phase retardation to focus at the focal plane. The bending effect is achieved by constructing an asymmetric phase front which results from the tapered slits and gradient refractive index （GRIN） distribution of the dielectric material. Rigorous electromagnetic analysis by using the two-dimensional （2D） finite difference time domain （FDTD） method is employed to verify our proposed designs. When the EM waves are incident at an angle on the optical axis, the beam splitting effect can also be achieved. These index-modulated slits are demonstrated to have unique advantages in beam manipulation compared with the width-modulated ones. In combination with previous studies, it is expected that our results could lead to the realization of ootimum designs for plasmonic nanolenses.展开更多

This summary review paper focuses on the technological advances in three key areas. First is the optical fabrication technique used for constructing next-generation telescope mirrors. Advances in ground-based telescope control and instrumentation comprise the second area of development. This includes active alignment of the laser truss-based Large Binocular Telescope(LBT) prime focus camera, the new MOBIUS modular cross-dispersion spectroscopy unit used at the prime focal plane of the LBT, and topological pupil segment optimization. Lastly, future space telescope concepts and enabling technologies are discussed. Among these, the Nautilus space observatory requires challenging alignment of segmented multi-order diffractive elements. The OASIS terahertz space telescope presents unique challenges for characterizing the inflatable primary mirror, and the Hyperion space telescope pushes the limits of high spectral resolution, far-UV spectroscopy. The Coronagraphic Debris and Exoplanet Exploring Pioneer(CDEEP) is a Small Satellite(Small Sat) mission concept for high-contrast imaging of circumstellar disks and exoplanets using vector vortex coronagraph. These advances in optical engineering technologies will help mankind to probe, explore, and understand the scientific beauty of our universe.展开更多

However, some of these compounds are difficult to be fabricated directly in film form due to the ease of valence variation of transition-metal elements.In this work, we reveal the reversible structural transition between SrVO3 and Sr2V2O7 films via thermal treatment in oxygen atmosphere or in vacuum. Based on this, Sr2V2O7 epitaxial films are successfully synthesized and studied. Property characterizations show that the semitransparent and metallic SrVO3 could reversibly switch into transparent and insulating Sr2V2O7, implying potential applications in controllable electronic and optical devices.展开更多

The delay time plays a construction and organization role forproducing temporal chaos, while the interaction between atoms and photons creates spatial chaos. The chaos is quitesensitive to small time delayed. The spectral decomposition of the Hamiltonian obtained by using projection methodologyreveals that evolution of the left eigenvectors shows quite complicated chaotic fashions. The method we proposed maybe easily tested in experiment, and provides a general method using a sort of driving optic field to achieve anticontrol ofchaos for quantum systems.展开更多

One to eighteen months later we examined the CN and inferior colliculus （IC） for evidence of virally transfected cells and processes. Production of ChR2 and HaloR was observed throughout the DCN. Rhodopsin localization within neurons was determined, with elongate, fusiform and giant cells identified based on morphology and location within the DCN. Production of ChR2 and HaloR was found at both the injection site as well as in regions projecting to and from the DCN. Light driven neuronal activity in the DCN was dependent upon the wavelength and intensity of the light, with only the appropriate wavelength resulting in activation and higher intensity light resulting in more neuronal activity. Transfecting cells via viral delivery of rhodopsins can be useful as a tract tracer and as a neuronal marker to delineate pathways. In the future rhodopsin delivery and activation may be developed as an alternative to electrical stimulation of neurons.展开更多

文摘Significant optical engineering advances at the University of Arizona are being made for design, fabrication, and construction of next generation astronomical telescopes. This summary review paper focuses on the technological advances in three key areas. First is the optical fabrication technique used for constructing next-generation telescope mirrors. Advances in ground-based telescope control and instrumentation comprise the second area of development. This includes active alignment of the laser truss-based Large Binocular Telescope(LBT) prime focus camera, the new MOBIUS modular cross-dispersion spectroscopy unit used at the prime focal plane of the LBT, and topological pupil segment optimization. Lastly, future space telescope concepts and enabling technologies are discussed. Among these, the Nautilus space observatory requires challenging alignment of segmented multi-order diffractive elements. The OASIS terahertz space telescope presents unique challenges for characterizing the inflatable primary mirror, and the Hyperion space telescope pushes the limits of high spectral resolution, far-UV spectroscopy. The Coronagraphic Debris and Exoplanet Exploring Pioneer(CDEEP) is a Small Satellite(Small Sat) mission concept for high-contrast imaging of circumstellar disks and exoplanets using vector vortex coronagraph. These advances in optical engineering technologies will help mankind to probe, explore, and understand the scientific beauty of our universe.

文摘Transition-metal oxides have attracted much attention due to its abundant crystalline phases and intriguing physical properties. However, some of these compounds are difficult to be fabricated directly in film form due to the ease of valence variation of transition-metal elements.In this work, we reveal the reversible structural transition between SrVO3 and Sr2V2O7 films via thermal treatment in oxygen atmosphere or in vacuum. Based on this, Sr2V2O7 epitaxial films are successfully synthesized and studied. Property characterizations show that the semitransparent and metallic SrVO3 could reversibly switch into transparent and insulating Sr2V2O7, implying potential applications in controllable electronic and optical devices.

文摘In this letter a Monte Carlo(MC) algorithm is used to simulate the propagation of polarized light in double-layer turbid media and the 2-dimentional backscattered Stokes vectors and Mueller matrices are obtained.Relationships between backscattered Mueller matrix and optical properties,such as scattering,absorption and layered structure,are discussed in detail.Integrating the 2-dimentional Mueller matrix elements along radial and azimuthal directions,we obtain a reverse trend with respect to the optical parameters for upper and lower layers,which suggests possibilities for discriminating subtle optical properties in a double-layer structure using backscattered polarization patterns such as Mueller matrix.
文摘We present a method of realizing anticontrol chaos in a quantum confined system consisting of N two-levelatoms within a cavity, using a time-delayed optic field. The delay time plays a construction and organization role forproducing temporal chaos, while the interaction between atoms and photons creates spatial chaos. The chaos is quitesensitive to small time delayed. The spectral decomposition of the Hamiltonian obtained by using projection methodologyreveals that evolution of the left eigenvectors shows quite complicated chaotic fashions. The method we proposed maybe easily tested in experiment, and provides a general method using a sort of driving optic field to achieve anticontrol ofchaos for quantum systems.
文摘Based on a media access and control（MAC）protocol,an arrangement of channels and transceivers in optical packet switching dense wavelength division multiplexing（DWDM）networks is proposed in this paper.In order to reduce the cost of nodes,fixed transmitters and receivers are used instead of tunable transmitters and receivers.Two fixed transmitters and many fixed receivers are used in each node in the scheme.The average waiting delay of this scheme is analyzed through mathematics and computer simulation.The result shows that the property of the scheme is almost the same as using tunable transmitter and receiver.Furthermore,if the tuning time of tunable transmitters is taken into account,the performance of the tunable transmitter scheme is poor than this scheme at the average waiting delay and throughput of the network.

文摘The gravitational wave spacecraft is a complex multi-input multi-output dynamic system.The gravitational wave detection mission requires the spacecraft to achieve single spacecraft with two laser links and high-precision control.Establishing one spacecraftwith two laser links,compared to one spacecraft with a single laser link,requires an upgraded decoupling algorithmfor the link establishment.The decoupling algorithmwe designed reassigns the degrees of freedomand forces in the control loop to ensure sufficient degrees of freedomfor optical axis control.In addressing the distinct dynamic characteristics of different degrees of freedom,a transfer function compensation method is used in the decoupling process to further minimize motion coupling.The open-loop frequency response of the systemis obtained through simulation.The upgraded decoupling algorithms effectively reduce the open-loop frequency response by 30 dB.The transfer function compensation method efficiently suppresses the coupling of low-frequency noise.

文摘Invasive fungal infections(IFIs)have been associated with high mortality,highlighting the urgent need for developing novel antifungal strategies.Herein the first light-responsive antifungal agents were designed by optical control of fungal ergosterol biosynthesis pathway with photocaged triazole lanosterol 14a-demethylase(CYP51)inhibitors.The photocaged triazoles completely shielded the CYP51inhibition.The content of ergosterol in fungi before photoactivation and after photoactivation was 4.4%and 83.7%,respectively.Importantly,the shielded antifungal activity(MIC80≥64μg/m L)could be efficiently recovered(MIC80=0.5—8μg/m L)by light irradiation.The new chemical tools enable optical control of fungal growth arrest,morphological conversion and biofilm formation.The ability for highprecision antifungal treatment was validated by in vivo models.The light-activated compound A1 was comparable to fluconazole in prolonging survival in Galleria mellonella larvae with a median survival of 14 days and reducing fungal burden in the mouse skin infection model.Overall,this study paves the way for precise regulation of antifungal therapy with improved efficacy and safety.

文摘We have delivered viral vectors containing either Chop2 fused with GFP, Channelrhodopsin-2 （ChR2）, or Halorhodopsin （HaloR） fused with mCherry （to form light gated cation channels or chloride pumps, respectively）, into the dorsal cochlear nucleus （DCN）. One to eighteen months later we examined the CN and inferior colliculus （IC） for evidence of virally transfected cells and processes. Production of ChR2 and HaloR was observed throughout the DCN. Rhodopsin localization within neurons was determined, with elongate, fusiform and giant cells identified based on morphology and location within the DCN. Production of ChR2 and HaloR was found at both the injection site as well as in regions projecting to and from the DCN. Light driven neuronal activity in the DCN was dependent upon the wavelength and intensity of the light, with only the appropriate wavelength resulting in activation and higher intensity light resulting in more neuronal activity. Transfecting cells via viral delivery of rhodopsins can be useful as a tract tracer and as a neuronal marker to delineate pathways. In the future rhodopsin delivery and activation may be developed as an alternative to electrical stimulation of neurons.
