Abstract:Within the effective-mass approximation, we calculated the influence of sawn on the binding energy of a hydrogenic donor impurity by a variational approach in a cylindrical wurtzite GaN/AlxGa1-xN strained quantum dot, including the strong built-in electric field effect due to the spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization. The results show that the binding energy of impurity decreases when the strain is considered. Then the built-in electric field becomes bigger with the Al content increasing and the binding energy of hydrogenic donor impurity decreases when the Al content is increasing. For dot height L < 2 nm, the change of the binding energy is very smafl with the Al content variety.

Abstract:The surface mode propagation along a dielectric slab waveguide which consists of the core and substrate of right handed materials (RHM) and the cover of left handed materials (LHM) is studied. The normalized frequency and normalized propagation constant are introduced to the left-handed material slab waveguides. The dispersion relations expressed by the normalized parameters are derived. Universal dispersion curves are obtained analytically. Based on that, the dispersion properties differ dramatically for different LHM constitutive parameters, the surface TE0 and TE1 modes are internatively obtained. It shows that two different kinds of TE modes compensate each other to form a whole mode.

Abstract:A triple layer organic light-emitting diode (OLED) with two heterostrueture of indium-tin oxide (ITO)/N,N'-diphenyl-N, N'-bis(1 -naphthyl) (1,1 '-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine (NPB)/2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BCP)/8-Hydrox-yquinoline aluminum (Alq3)/Mg:Ag has been fabricated by using the vacuum deposition method. The influence of different film thickness of BCP layer on the performance of the OLEDs has been investigated. The results show that when the thickness of the BCP layer film gradually ranges from 0.1-4.0 nm, the electroluminescence (EL) spectra of the OLEDs shift from green to greenish-blue to blue, and the BCP layer acts as the role for the recombination region of charge carriers related to EL spectrum, which enhances the brightness and power efficiency. The power efficiency of the OLEDs reaches to as high as 7.3 lm/W.

Abstract:An open-loop resonator micro-optic gyro (R-MOG) with a 6 cm-long waveguide-type ring resonator is set up using the phase modulation spectroscopy technique. In the experiment, according to the test parameters of the resonator, the shot-noise-limited sensitivity is estimated to be 1.07×10-4 rad/s. From the test demodulation signal, the gyro dynamic range of ±7.0×103 rad/s is obtained. Using different phase modulation frequencies, the open-loop gyro output signal is observed when the equivalent gyro rotation is applied to the aconstic-optical modulators (AOMs). The sensitivity of the R-MOG can be increased by some countermeasures against system noise.

Abstract:Based on the technology of low temperature poly silicon thin film transistors (poly-Si-TFTs), a novel p-type TFT AMOLED panel with self-scanned driving circuit is introduced in this paper. A shift register formed with novel p-type TFTs is pro-posed to realize the gate driver. A flip-latch cooperated with the shift register is designed to conduct the data writing. In order to verify the validity of the proposed design, the circuits are simulated with SILVACO TCAD tools, using the MODEL in which the parameters of LTPS TFTs were extracted from the LTPS TFTs made in our lab. The simulation results indicate that the circuit can fulfill the driving function.

In fre-quency-domain, the transmission coefficients of electromagnetic Gaussian pulses are computed, and the effects of the periodic structure constant, plasma layer thickness and parameters of plasma on the properties of periodic band gaps of magnetized photonic crystals are analyzed. The results show that the periodic band gaps depend strongly on the plasma parameters.

Abstract:The effect of nitrogen pressure on optical properties of hydrogen-free diamond-like carbon (DLC) films deposited by pulsed laser ablation graphite in different background pressures of nitrogen is reported. By varying nitrogen pressures from 0.05 to 15.00 Pa, the photoluminescence is gradually increased and optical transmittance is gradually decreased. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is used to observe the surface morphology of the DLC films. The results indicate that the surface becomes unsmoothed and there are some globose particles on the films surface with the rise of nitrogen pressures. The microstructure of the films is characterized using Raman spectroscopy.

Abstract:To increase the channel number in the optic filter, the multiple-phase-shift (MPS) technology is adoped based on the multiple-reflection-spectrum-envelopes-concatenation (MRSEC) model which has a broadband flatness. The reflection spectra of the MPS digital concatenated sample gratings are simulated with transfer matrix method, the results show that wave band of the reflection spectrum is widened and the channel number is multiplied. What's more, the spectrum flatness is improved with the increasing of refraction index change. Moreover, to improve the extinction ratio and peak value when MPS is adopted in concatenated SFBG, an available designing method based on the cascaded unit is put forward and the optimized results are obtained.

Abstract:Fiber Bragg grating Fabry-Perot (FBG F-P) cavity is used as the sensing model to measure the refractive index of the liquid solution. The cladding of the fiber, which is used as the F-P cavity, is etched by HF solution to enhance the sensitivity to the external refractive index. The experimental results show that with the concentration change of the external solution, the effective refractive index of etched fiber will change, thus the spectra of FBG F-P cavity will appear a spilt point. The relationship between the wavelength at spilt point and the effective refractive index of etched fiber is approximately linear, and also periodical. The sensing model is theoretically analyzed based on transfer matrix method, and the corresponding mathematic model is established.

Abstract:For the case of atomic force microscope (AFM) automation, we extract the most valuable sub-region of a given AFM image automatically for succeeding scanning to get the higher resolution of interesting region. Two objective functions are sum-marized based on the analysis of evaluation of the information of a sub-region, and corresponding algorithm principles based on standard deviation and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) compression are determined from math. Algorithm realizations are analyzed and two select patterns of sub-region: fixed grid mode and sub-region walk mode are compared. To speed up the algorithm of DCT compression which is too slow to practical applied, a new algorithm is proposed based on analysis of DCT's block computing feature, and it can perform hundreds times faster than original. Implementation result of the algorithms proves that this technology can be applied to the AFM automatic operation. Finally the difference between the two objective functions is discussed with detail computations.

Abstract:A novel automatic white-balance algorithm based on adaptive-luminance is proposed in this paper. This algorithm rede-fines the gray pixels region, which can filter the gray pixels accurately. Furthermore, with the relations between gray pixels' luminance with standard light source and their chroma Cb, Cr shifts with other color temperatures, the algorithm estab-lishes the equations between the captured pixels and the original ones, which can estimate the gains of RGB channels exactly. To evaluate the proposed algorithm, the objective comparison method and the subjective observation method are both used, and the test results prove that the effects of image emendated by the proposed algorithm are excelled to that by traditional algorithms. Finally, the algorithm is implemented with VLSI design, and the result of synthesis proves that it can satisfy real-time application.

Abstract:The properties of the effective mass of the ground state of the exciton, for which the electron (hole) is strongly coupled with interface-optical (IO) phonons but weakly coupled with bulk-longitudinal-optical (LO) phonons in a quantum well, are studied by means of Tokuda's improved linear combination operator and a modified second Lee-Low-Pines transformation method. The results indicate that the contributions of the interaction between the electron (hole) and the different phonon branches to the effective mass are greatly different, and change with the well width and the relative position between the electron and the hole.
