The influence of pointing error on the system is considered, and the Gauss-Hermite integral method is used to derive the bidirectional channel fading probability density function and the closed expression of its cumulative distribution function for this system. The closed expressions of system average bit error rate and the outage probability are further derived. The research results show that under the joint influences of weak turbulence and pointing error, and the incident angle, modulation order and refractive index of the corner cube retro-reflector have great influences on the error performance of this system. When the divergence angle is 3-10 μrad, the system error rate reaches an optimal value. When the divergence angles are 6, 8 and 10 μrad, respectively, the outage probability is reduced to 10
-9 orders of magnitude under the condition of relatively high signal-to-noise ratio threshold.

The mean value, variance and other characteristics of pixel values are extracted in the sliding window range. According to these statistical characteristics and the bridge method, whether there are small infrared targets in the window range is determined. If there is a small target, its location is recorded, and then the small target area is screened twice. The research results show that the false alarm rate of the proposed algorithm is 58% lower than that of the classical algorithm..

The influences of the various parameters of this array on the multi-frequency filtering characteristics of the composite structure are investigated. With the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, the influences of Fermi level, graphene bandwidth ratio, and external refractive index on filter frequency are discussed. The research results show that the increase of Fermi level can make the resonant frequency blue shift, in contrast, the increase of graphene bandwidth ratio and external refractive index can both make the resonant frequency red shift. When Fermi level is changed by 0.1 eV, the resonant frequency can be changed by an amount of more than 5 THz..

ing to avoid the local epitaxial growth of amorphous silicon films in the pyramidal valleys of the textured silicon wafers, a chemical polishing mixture named CP133 is used to polish the textured crystalline silicon (c-Si) surfaces. The research results show that the morphologies of the pyramidal valleys change from V shape to U shape, which clearly improves the passivation effect at the hydrogenated amorphous silicon/crystalline silicon interface. When the temperature is lower than 30 ℃, the solution is difficult to react with the crystalline silicon. However, the problem can be solved by the increase of the solution temperature up to 35 ℃. The performance of the solar cells is relatively good when the polishing time is 30 s and the NaOH texturing solution has a mass fraction of 1%.

On one hand, the transverse-magnetic (TM) polarized light dominates the light emission from the AlN-rich AlGaN based quantum wells, which strongly reduces the light-extraction efficiency (LEE) for DUV LEDs. On the other hand, limited by the current hetero-epitaxial growth technologies for AlGaN materials, the crystal quality for DUV LEDs is still poor, which increases the non-radiative recombination rate in the active region, thereby causing the reduction of the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) for DUV LEDs. Besides, the carrier injection efficiency, especially the hole injection efficiency, also strongly influences the IQE for DUV LEDs. Thus, the researchers have made extensive efforts to increase the hole injection efficiency and thus improve the EQE for DUV LEDs. The recently proposed approaches for the improvement of the hole injection efficiency for DUV LEDs are reviewed and discussed. Moreover, the underlying physical mechanisms are disclosed in the in-depth level. These are important for the improvement of the device performances for DUV LEDs..

The features of the multi-channel spectral images are extracted by the SURF algorithm, and the preliminary registration images are obtained through perspective transformation. In addition, aiming at the problem that there exists the invalid regions with zero pixel value on the image edge after registration, a method for detecting the largest inner rectangle in images by maximum submatrix is proposed to remove the invalid edge regions and maximize the retention of valid area information. The multi-channel imaging data of the murals are tested. The results show that the proposed method has better robustness to image scale and brightness variation, and can avoid the influence of invalid regions on the subsequent spectral reconstruction and color restoration occurred in the other registration methods. It also has better performance in registration accuracy, information maximization retention, and time efficiency..

Yao Nie, Youyun Wang, Xueqin Wu, and Yu Fang
The ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy of interband excitation is utilized to evaluate the ultrafast carrier recombination dynamics in the conductive (n-type) nitrogen (N)-doped and semi-insulating (SI) vanadium (V)-doped 6H-SiC wafers. The carrier relaxation of n-type 6H-SiC with carrier lifetime more than 10The ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy of interband excitation is utilized to evaluate the ultrafast carrier recombination dynamics in the conductive (n-type) nitrogen (N)-doped and semi-insulating (SI) vanadium (V)-doped 6H-SiC wafers. The carrier relaxation of n-type 6H-SiC with carrier lifetime more than 10 ns is dominated by indirect recombination through N impurities and/or inherent defects. Compared with the n-type 6H-SiC, the V-doped one has a pronounced modulation of transient absorption, resulting from an additional carrier recombination process caused by the carrier trapping of V deep levels. The carrier-trapping with a lifetime of about 160 ps is more than two orders of magnitude faster than the indirect recombination. With a simplified energy level model and the global analysis, the carrier recombination mechanism is investigated and the carrier lifetime of 6H-SiC is determined accurately..

ing at the influence of the complicated deep-space communication environment on the anti-noise performance of X-ray communication system, a bit error rate optimization model is proposed based on quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). The mathematical expression of the primary noise source is derived through analyzing the noise source in actual communication scenario combined with an existing X-ray communication link model. On the basis of Poison distribution model, the calculation model of the communication error rate in intensity modulation direct detection (IM/DD) system is established under the QAM mode, and its effectiveness is verified by simulation. The simulation result shows that the bit error rate of QAM system can be reduced to 10 -6 orders of magnitude.When the same amount of photons are received, the proposed method launched less photons compared with the existing binary on-off keying (OOK) and pulse position modulation (PPM) methods. Furthermore, this proposed method is suitable for the modulation of the space X-ray communication system when it is deployed in the environment with an unstable noise intensity.
