More interestingly,a nonlocal optical nonlinearity emerges between two spatially separated ensembles, as the probe transmissivity and probe correlation at the exit of one Rydberg ensemble can be manipulated by the probe field at the input of the other Rydberg ensemble. Realizing correlated Rydberg EITs holds great potential for applications in quantum control, quantum network,quantum walk and so on.展开更多

文摘In the burgeoning field of light-matter interactions,angular momentum has emerged as a pivotal factor,driving innovative research directions.This study delves into the interaction dynamics between vortex lights and an electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT)medium,with a primary focus on elucidating the underlying mechanism of angular momentum transfer.Through comprehensive theoretical analysis and numerical simulations,it is demonstrated that when the probe field carries orbital angular momentum(OAM),the dispersion and absorption characteristics of the EIT medium undergo periodic modulation.This modulation is intricately determined by the azimuthal phase and topological charge of the beam.Notably,the OAM in the driving field exerts no such influence on the medium’s properties.Leveraging vortex phase plates(VPPs)or spatial light modulators(SLMs)to manipulate the tunable OAM enables dynamic control over the EIT effect.This breakthrough not only deepens our understanding of light-matter interactions at the quantum level but also unlocks new avenues for high-dimensional quantum information processing and advanced optical communication technologies.

文摘In the regime of Rydberg electromagnetically induced transparency, we study the correlated behaviors between the transmission spectra of a pair of probe fields passing through respective parallel one-dimensional cold Rydberg ensembles.Due to the van der Waals(vdW) interactions between Rydberg atoms, each ensemble exhibits a local optical nonlinearity,where the output EIT spectra are sensitive to both the input probe intensity and the photonic statistics. More interestingly,a nonlocal optical nonlinearity emerges between two spatially separated ensembles, as the probe transmissivity and probe correlation at the exit of one Rydberg ensemble can be manipulated by the probe field at the input of the other Rydberg ensemble. Realizing correlated Rydberg EITs holds great potential for applications in quantum control, quantum network,quantum walk and so on.

文摘Coal mining induces changes in the nature of rock and soil bodies,as well as hydrogeological conditions,which can easily trigger the occurrence of geological disasters such as water inrush,movement of the coal seam roof and floor,and rock burst.Transparency in coal mine geological conditions provides technical support for intelligent coal mining and geological disaster prevention.In this sense,it is of great significance to address the requirements for informatizing coal mine geological conditions,dynamically adjust sensing parameters,and accurately identify disaster characteristics so as to prevent and control coal mine geological disasters.This paper examines the various action fields associated with geological disasters in mining faces and scrutinizes the types and sensing parameters of geological disasters resulting from coal seam mining.On this basis,it summarizes a distributed fiber-optic sensing technology framework for transparent geology in coal mines.Combined with the multi-field monitoring characteristics of the strain field,the temperature field,and the vibration field of distributed optical fiber sensing technology,parameters such as the strain increment ratio,the aquifer temperature gradient,and the acoustic wave amplitude are extracted as eigenvalues for identifying rock breaking,aquifer water level,and water cut range,and a multi-field sensing method is established for identifying the characteristics of mining-induced rock mass disasters.The development direction of transparent geology based on optical fiber sensing technology is proposed in terms of the aspects of sensing optical fiber structure for large deformation monitoring,identification accuracy of optical fiber acoustic signals,multi-parameter monitoring,and early warning methods.

文摘Highly transparent,durable,and flexible liquid-repellent coatings are urgently needed in the realm of transparent materials,such as car windows,optical lenses,solar panels,and flexible screen materials.However,it has been difficult to strike a balance between the robustness and flexibility of coatings constructed by a single cross-linked network design.To overcome the conundrum,this innovative approach effectively combines two distinct cross-linked networks with unique functions,thus overcoming the challenge.Through a tightly interwoven structure comprised of added crosslinking sites,the coating achieves improved liquid repellency(WCA>100°,OSA<10°),increased durability(withstands 2,000 cycles of cotton wear),enhanced flexibility(endures 5,000 cycles of bending with a bending radius of 1 mm),and maintains high transparency(over 98%in the range of 410 nm to 760 nm).Additionally,the coating with remarkable adhesion can be applied to multiple substrates,enabling large-scale preparation and easy cycling coating,thus expanding its potential applications.The architecture of this fluoride-free dual cross-linked network not only advances liquid-repellent surfaces but also provides valuable insights for the development of eco-friendly materials in the future.
文摘The issue of opacity within data-driven artificial intelligence(AI)algorithms has become an impediment to these algorithms’extensive utilization,especially within sensitive domains concerning health,safety,and high profitability,such as chemical engineering(CE).In order to promote reliable AI utilization in CE,this review discusses the concept of transparency within AI utilizations,which is defined based on both explainable AI(XAI)concepts and key features from within the CE field.This review also highlights the requirements of reliable AI from the aspects of causality(i.e.,the correlations between the predictions and inputs of an AI),explainability(i.e.,the operational rationales of the workflows),and informativeness(i.e.,the mechanistic insights of the investigating systems).Related techniques are evaluated together with state-of-the-art applications to highlight the significance of establishing reliable AI applications in CE.Furthermore,a comprehensive transparency analysis case study is provided as an example to enhance understanding.Overall,this work provides a thorough discussion of this subject matter in a way that—for the first time—is particularly geared toward chemical engineers in order to raise awareness of responsible AI utilization.With this vital missing link,AI is anticipated to serve as a novel and powerful tool that can tremendously aid chemical engineers in solving bottleneck challenges in CE.

文摘Using data on Chinese non-financial listed firms covering 2009 to 2022,we explore the effect of supply chain transparency on stock price crash risk.Two proxies for supply chain transparency are constructed using the number of supply chain partners’names and the proportion of their transactions disclosed in annual reports.The results reveal that enhancing supply chain transparency can decrease crash risk,specifically by mitigating tax avoidance and earnings management.Moreover,the analysis suggests that this risk-reduction effect is more prominent in companies where managers are more incentivized to hide negative information and investors possess superior abilities to acquire information.Interestingly,supplier transparency is more influential in mitigating crash risk than customer transparency.These findings emphasize the significance of supply chain transparency in managing financial risk.

文摘We theoretically investigate the magnomechanically induced transparency phenomenon,Fano resonance and the slow-fast light effect in the situation where an atomic ensemble is placed inside the hybrid cavity of an optomagnomechanical system.The system is driven by dual optical and phononic drives.We show double magnomechanically induced transparency in the probe output spectrum by exploiting the phonon-photon coupling strength.Then,we study the effects of the decay rate of the cavity and the atomic ensemble on magnomechanically induced transparency.In addition,we demonstrate that effective detuning of the cavity field frequency changes the transparency window from a symmetrical to an asymmetrical profile,resembling Fano resonances.Further,the fast and slow light effects in the system are explored.We show that the slow light profile is enhanced by adjusting the phonon-photon coupling strength.This result may have potential applications in quantum information processing and communication.

文摘Recent years have witnessed significant advances in utilizing machine learning-based techniques for thermal metamaterial-based structures and devices to attain favorable thermal transport behaviors.Among the various thermal transport behaviors,achieving thermal transparency stands out as particularly desirable and intriguing.Our earlier work demonstrated the use of a thermal metamaterial-based periodic interparticle system as the underlying structure for manipulating thermal transport behavior and achieving thermal transparency.In this paper,we introduce an approach based on graph neural network to address the complex inverse design problem of determining the design parameters for a thermal metamaterial-based periodic interparticle system with the desired thermal transport behavior.Our work demonstrates that combining graph neural network modeling and inference is an effective approach for solving inverse design problems associated with attaining desirable thermal transport behaviors using thermal metamaterials.

文摘We theoretically study the effect of Kerr effect on the second-order nonlinearity induced transparency in a double-resonant optical cavity system.We show that in the presence of the Kerr effect,as the strength of the Kerr effect increases,the absorption curve exhibits an asymmetric-symmetric-asymmetric transition,and the zero absorption point shifts with the increase of the Kerr effect.Furthermore,by changing the strength of the Kerr effect,we can control the width of the transparent window,and the position of the zero-absorption point and meanwhile change the left and right width of the absorption peak.The asymmetry absorption curve can be employed to improve the quality factor of the cavity when the frequency detuning is tuned to be around the right peak.The simple dependence of the zeroabsorption point on the strength of Kerr effect suggests that the strength of Kerr effect can be measured by measuring the position of the zero-absorption point in a possible application.

文摘In this article,a series of high refractive indices(1.50-1.53)thiol phenyl polysiloxane(TPS)were synthesized via hydrolytic sol-gel reaction.The Fourier transform infrared spectra(FT-IR)and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra(NMR)results showed that TPS conformed to the predicted structures.Natural terpene linalool was exploited as photocrosslinker to fabricate UV-curing linalool-polysiloxane hybrid films(LPH)with TPS via photoinitiated thiol-ene reaction.LPH rapidly cured under UV irradiation at the intensity of 80 mW/cm^(2) in 30 s,exhibiting good UV-curing properties.The optical transmittance of LPH in the wavelength of 300-800 nm was over 90%,exhibiting good optical transparency.The water contact angle and water vapor permeability results showed that the introduction of phenyl groups enhance the hydrophobicity and water vapor barrier properties of LPH.The results indicated the potential of LPHs in the applications of optical functional coatings.
文摘Fiber products for microwave kilns were prepared using alumina fibers with alumina contents of 72 mass%and 80 mass%,and calcined alumina powder(4-6μm)as the main raw materials,silica sol as the binder,and cationic starch as the flocculant.Effects of different raw materials and their additions on the wave transparency of fiber products were researched.The results show that as the alumina fiber(72%)addition increases,the heating rate of the samples first decreases and then increases,and the corresponding wave transparency of the sample first increases and then decreases.When the alumina fibers addition is 40 mass%and the alumina powder addition is 30 mass%,the prepared microwave kiln lining material has a higher mullite content,which improves the wave transparency of the sample.The sample prepared from alumina fibers with an alumina content of 80%has a suitable glass-mullite phase ratio,performs lower overall dielectric constant and good wave transparency,and is a suitable lining material for microwave kilns.

文摘The ideal optomechanically induced transparency effects of an output probe field are investigated in a cavity optoelectromechanical system,which is composed of an optical cavity,a charged mechanical resonator,and a charged object.Although the charged mechanical resonator damping rate is nonzero,the ideal optomechanically induced transparency can still appear due to the non-rotating wave approximation effect in the system.The location of optomechanically induced transparency dip can be controlled via the Coulomb coupling strength.In addition,we find that both the transparency window width and the maximum dispersion curve slope are closely related to the optical cavity decay rate.

文摘We propose a three-cavity coupled cavity optomechanical(COM)structure with tunable system parameters and theoretically investigate the probe-light transmission rate.Numerical calculation of the system’s spectra demonstrates distinctive compound-induced transparency(CIT)characteristics,including multiple transparency windows and sideband dips,which can be explained by a coupling between optomechanically-induced transparency(OMIT)and electromagnetically-induced transparency.The effects of optical loss(gain)in the cavity,number and topology of active cavity,tunneling ratio,and pump laser power on the CIT spectrum are evaluated and analyzed.Moreover,the optical group delay of CIT is highly controllable and fast–slow light inter-transition can be achieved.The proposed structure makes possible the advantageous tuning freedom and provides a potential platform for controlling light propagation and fast–slow light switching.
