First, a PCTL (Probability-Coordinate Transformation Layer) is designed to represent the mapping relationship between the probability output of the capsule network and the star point sub-pixel coordinates. Then, Coordconv Layer is introduced to implement explicit encoding of space information and the probability is used as the centroid weight to achieve the conversion between probability and star point sub-pixel coordinates, which improves the network’s ability to perceive star point positions. Finally, based on the dynamic imaging principle of star sensors and the characteristics of near-space environment, a star map dataset for algorithm training and testing is constructed. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm reduces the MAE (Mean Absolute Error) and RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) of the star point positioning by 36.1% and 41.7% respectively compared with the traditional algorithm. The research results can provide important theory and technical support for the scheme design, index demonstration, test and evaluation of large dynamic star sensors in near space.展开更多

The dual-CP performance is realized based on the symmetrical septum circular polarizer based on the gap waveguide (GWG) technology. Two sets of symmetrical septum circular polarizers are used for common aperture combination,achieving the broadband dual-CP characteristics. Taking advantage of GWG structure without good electrical contact, the antenna can also be fabricated and assembled easily in the mmW band. The principle analysis of the antenna is given, and the antenna is simulated and fabricated. The measured results show that the bandwidth for S11lower than-10.7 dB and the axial ratio (AR) lower than 2.90 dB in 75-110 GHz, with realative bandwidth of 38%. Over the frequency band, the gain is higher than 9.16 dBic, and the dual-CP port isolation is greater than32 dB. The proposed antenna with dual-CP and highly isolated in a wide bandwidth range has broad application prospects in the field of mmW communication.展开更多

文摘Secure and high-speed optical communications are of primary focus in information transmission.Although it is widely accepted that chaotic secure communication can provide superior physical layer security,it is challenging to meet the demand for high-speed increasing communication rate.We theoretically propose and experimentally demonstrate a conceptual paradigm for orbital angular momentum(OAM)configured chaotic laser(OAM-CCL)that allows access to high-security and massivecapacity optical communications.Combining 11 OAM modes and an all-optical feedback chaotic laser,we are able to theoretically empower a well-defined optical communication system with a total transmission capacity of 100 Gb∕s and a bit error rate below the forward error correction threshold 3.8×10^(-3).Furthermore,the OAM-CCL-based communication system is robust to 3D misalignment by resorting to appropriate mode spacing and beam waist.Finally,the conceptual paradigm of the OAM-CCL-based communication system is verified.In contrast to existing systems(traditional free-space optical communication or chaotic optical communication),the OAM-CCL-based communication system has threein-one characteristics of high security,massive capacity,and robustness.The findings demonstrate that this will promote the applicable settings of chaotic laser and provide an alternative promising route to guide high-security and massive-capacity optical communications.

文摘With the deployment of ultra-dense low earth orbit(LEO)satellite constellations,LEO satellite access network(LEO-SAN)is envisioned to achieve global Internet coverage.Meanwhile,the civil aviation communications have increased dramatically,especially for providing airborne Internet services.However,due to dynamic service demands and onboard LEO resources over time and space,it poses huge challenges in satellite-aircraft access and service management in ultra-dense LEO satellite networks(UDLSN).In this paper,we propose a deep reinforcement learning-based approach for ultra-dense LEO satellite-aircraft access and service management.Firstly,we develop an airborne Internet architecture based on UDLSN and design a management mechanism including medium earth orbit satellites to guarantee lightweight management.Secondly,considering latency-sensitive and latency-tolerant services,we formulate the problem of satellite-aircraft access and service management for civil aviation to ensure service continuity.Finally,we propose a proximal policy optimization-based access and service management algorithm to solve the formulated problem.Simulation results demonstrate the convergence and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm with satisfying the service continuity when applying to the UDLSN.

文摘The technology of solid-state lighting has developed for decades in various industries.Phosphor,as an element part,determines the application domain of lighting products.For instance,blue and redemitting phosphors are required in the process of plant supplementing light,arrow-band emitting phosphors are applied to backlight displays,etc.In this work,a Bi^(3+)-activated blue phosphor was obtained in a symmetrical and co mpact crystal structure of Gd3Sb07(GSO).Then,the co-doping strategy of alkali metal ions(Li^(+),Na^(+),and K^(+))was used to optimize the performance.The result shows that the photoluminescence intensity is increased by 2.1 times and 1.3 times respectively by introducing Li~+and K^(+)ions.Not only that,it also achieves narrow-band emitting with the full width of half-maximum(FWHM)reaching 42 nm through Na^(+)doping,and its excitation peak position also shifts from 322 to 375 nm,which can be well excited by near-ultraviolet(NUV)light emitting diode(LED)chips(365 nm).Meanwhile,the electroluminescence spectrum of GSO:0.6 mol%Bi^(3+),3 wt%Na^(+)matches up to 93.39%of the blue part of the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a.In summary,the Bi^(3+)-activated blue phosphor reported in this work can synchronously meet the requirements of plant light replenishment and field emission displays.

文摘Dermal substitutes have provided a template for the regeneration and reconstruction of the dermis.However,the healed skin tissue often exhibits abnormal morphology and functionality,including scarring and inflammation.In this study,a composite bioink composed of methacrylated gelatin(GelMA)and chitosan oligosaccharide(COS)was proposed for printing a dermal scaffold using digital light processing(DLP)technology.The GelMA/COS bioink exhibited suitable porosity,swelling,degradation rate,and mechanical properties.The inclusion of COS demonstrated antibacterial effects against both Gram positive and Gram-negative bacteria,while simultaneously fostering the proliferation of human dermal fibroblasts(HDFs).Additionally,the application of COS could effectively reduce the expression levels of fibrosis-related genes,such as collagen I,collagen III,and fibronectin I.The three-dimensionally printed cell-laden dermal scaffold exhibited excellent shape fidelity and high cellular viability,facilitating the extension of HDFs along the scaffold and the simultaneous secretion of extracellular matrix proteins.Furthermore,the HDF-laden dermal scaffold transplanted into full-thickness skin defect sites in nude mice was shown to accelerate wound closure,reduce inflammation,and improve wound healing.Overall,the DLP-printed dermal scaffold provides an appealing approach for effectively treating full-thickness skin defects in clinical settings.

文摘Based on optofluidics and whispering gallery mode(WGM)theory,here an optofluidic refractive index sensor with microtube-coupled suspended core fiber(SCF)is proposed.It solves the issues of general sensors with microcavity-coupled fiber taper such as too fragile,unstable performance due to open coupling,poor portability and repeatability,while overcoming the poor performance of low refractive index sensing in general full-package fiber sensors.The sensor only needs a very small amount of liquid sample(about 1.8 nL).The proposed sensor combines the excellent performance of full package,optofluidics and WGM resonator.The resonant characteristics and sensing performance of the sensor are analyzed and discussed by the theoretical simulation.The simulation results indicate that the sensor has a wide refractive index sensing range(1.330-1.700)and good performance.The resonance wavelength shift has a good linear relationship with the liquid refractive index variation.In the low refractive index region,the sensitivity is 222.5-247.5 nm/RIU,Q-factor is 1.03×10^(3) and the detection limit is 3.64×10^(-4) RIU.In the medium and high refractive index regions,the sensitivity is 564.4-846.2 nm/RIU,Q-factor is up to 8.62×10^(4),and the detection limit can be as low as 1.29×10^(-6) RIU.The sensor exhibits a high sensitivity,a high Q-factor and a very low detection limit.
文摘Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar(ISAR)images of complex targets have a low Signal-to-Noise Ratio(SNR)and contain fuzzy edges and large differences in scattering intensity,which limits the recognition performance of ISAR systems.Also,data scarcity poses a greater challenge to the accurate recognition of components.To address the issues of component recognition in complex ISAR targets,this paper adopts semantic segmentation and proposes a few-shot semantic segmentation framework fusing multimodal features.The scarcity of available data is mitigated by using a two-branch scattering feature encoding structure.Then,the high-resolution features are obtained by fusing the ISAR image texture features and scattering quantization information of complex-valued echoes,thereby achieving significantly higher structural adaptability.Meanwhile,the scattering trait enhancement module and the statistical quantification module are designed.The edge texture is enhanced based on the scatter quantization property,which alleviates the segmentation challenge of edge blurring under low SNR conditions.The coupling of query/support samples is enhanced through four-dimensional convolution.Additionally,to overcome fusion challenges caused by information differences,multimodal feature fusion is guided by equilibrium comprehension loss.In this way,the performance potential of the fusion framework is fully unleashed,and the decision risk is effectively reduced.Experiments demonstrate the great advantages of the proposed framework in multimodal feature fusion,and it still exhibits great component segmentation capability under low SNR/edge blurring conditions.
文摘A temperature and acoustic impedance simultaneous sensor based on forward stimulated Brillouin scattering(FSBS)in highly nonlinear fiber(HNLF)with high sensitivity and high accuracy is proposed and demonstrated in this paper.High-order acoustic modes(HOAMs)are used to achieve individual or simultaneous measurement of the two parameters.Transverse acoustic waves(TAWs)involved in the FSBS process can efficiently sense the mechanical or environmental changes outside the fiber cladding,which will be reflected in a linear shift of the acoustic resonance frequency.By analyzing the frequencies of specific scattering peaks,the temperature and acoustic impedance outside the fiber cladding can be obtained simultaneously.The highest measured temperature and acoustic impedance sensitivities are 184.93 k Hz/℃and444.56 k Hz/MRayl,and the measurement accuracies are 0.09℃and 0.009 MRayl,respectively,which are both at desirable levels.We believe this work can provide potential application solutions for sensing fields involving temperature or acoustic impedance measurements.
文摘In order to solve the problem that the star point positioning accuracy of the star sensor in near space is decreased due to atmospheric background stray light and rapid maneuvering of platform, this paper proposes a star point positioning algorithm based on the capsule network whose input and output are both vectors. First, a PCTL (Probability-Coordinate Transformation Layer) is designed to represent the mapping relationship between the probability output of the capsule network and the star point sub-pixel coordinates. Then, Coordconv Layer is introduced to implement explicit encoding of space information and the probability is used as the centroid weight to achieve the conversion between probability and star point sub-pixel coordinates, which improves the network’s ability to perceive star point positions. Finally, based on the dynamic imaging principle of star sensors and the characteristics of near-space environment, a star map dataset for algorithm training and testing is constructed. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm reduces the MAE (Mean Absolute Error) and RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) of the star point positioning by 36.1% and 41.7% respectively compared with the traditional algorithm. The research results can provide important theory and technical support for the scheme design, index demonstration, test and evaluation of large dynamic star sensors in near space.
文摘A millimeter-wave (mmW) broadband dual circularly polarized (dual-CP) antenna with high port isolation is proposed in this paper. The dual-CP performance is realized based on the symmetrical septum circular polarizer based on the gap waveguide (GWG) technology. Two sets of symmetrical septum circular polarizers are used for common aperture combination,achieving the broadband dual-CP characteristics. Taking advantage of GWG structure without good electrical contact, the antenna can also be fabricated and assembled easily in the mmW band. The principle analysis of the antenna is given, and the antenna is simulated and fabricated. The measured results show that the bandwidth for S11lower than-10.7 dB and the axial ratio (AR) lower than 2.90 dB in 75-110 GHz, with realative bandwidth of 38%. Over the frequency band, the gain is higher than 9.16 dBic, and the dual-CP port isolation is greater than32 dB. The proposed antenna with dual-CP and highly isolated in a wide bandwidth range has broad application prospects in the field of mmW communication.

文摘For nonlinear state estimation driven by non-Gaussian noise,the estimator is required to be updated iteratively.Since the iterative update approximates a linear process,it fails to capture the nonlinearity of observation models,and this further degrades filtering accuracy and consistency.Given the flaws of nonlinear iteration,this work incorporates a recursive strategy into generalized M-estimation rather than the iterative strategy.The proposed algorithm extends nonlinear recursion to nonlinear systems using the statistical linear regression method.The recursion allows for the gradual release of observation information and consequently enables the update to proceed along the nonlinear direction.Considering the correlated state and observation noise induced by recursions,a separately reweighting strategy is adopted to build a robust nonlinear system.Analogous to the nonlinear recursion,a robust nonlinear recursive update strategy is proposed,where the associated covariances and the observation noise statistics are updated recursively to ensure the consistency of observation noise statistics,thereby completing the nonlinear solution of the robust system.Compared with the iterative update strategies under non-Gaussian observation noise,the recursive update strategy can facilitate the estimator to achieve higher filtering accuracy,stronger robustness,and better consistency.Therefore,the proposed strategy is more suitable for the robust nonlinear filtering framework.

文摘This paper proposes a method to generate Bessel-like collimated beams with suppressed side lobes using the flexural vibration modes of a fixed boundary circular plate,which is excited by a longitudinally vibrating transducer in a ring excitation manner.The factors affecting the generation of Bessel-like collimated beams are investigated by theoretical analysis,numerical simulation and experimental methods.The results indicate that Bessel-like wave can be generated by a thin circular plate with fixed boundaries.The third-order mode of the circular plate can be modified to generate a collimated beam with suppressing side lobes when it is excited in a ring excitation manner and the excitation position lies between the first two nodal circles of the plate.As the excitation radius increases,the main lobe width of the resulting Bessel-like collimated beam decreases,the extent of the focusing region increases,and the amplitude of the side lobes initially increases and then decreases.Based on the simulation results,a prototype Bessel-like collimated beam generation system is made and measured experimentally.The experimental results are in good agreement with the numerical results.The Bessel-like collimated beam can be generated by the proposed system,which has potential application in the fields of long-range detection,imaging of highly attenuated materials,and airflow acceleration.

文摘We experimentally analyze the effect of the optical power on the time delay signature identification and the random bit generation in chaotic semiconductor laser with optical feedback.Due to the inevitable noise during the photoelectric detection and analog-digital conversion,the varying of output optical power would change the signal to noise ratio,then impact time delay signature identification and the random bit generation.Our results show that,when the optical power is less than-14 dBm,with the decreasing of the optical power,the actual identified time delay signature degrades and the entropy of the chaotic signal increases.Moreover,the extracted random bit sequence with lower optical power is more easily pass through the randomness testing.
