One dimension (1D) ordered titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanostructured photocatalysts sensitized by quantum dots (QDs) are fabricated. Their morphologies, crystal structures and photocatalytic properties are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) One dimension (1D) ordered titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanostructured photocatalysts sensitized by quantum dots (QDs) are fabricated. Their morphologies, crystal structures and photocatalytic properties are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ultraviolet-visiblenear infrared (UV-vis-NIR) absorption spectroscopy, respectively. Compared with the original TiO2 nanostructure, the nanostructured TiO2 sensitized by QDs exhibits a good photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methyl orange (MO). The QDs with core-shell structure can reduce the photocatalytic ability due to the higher potential barrier of carrier transport in ZnS shell layer. The results indicate that the proposed photocatalyst shows promising potential for the application in organic dye degradation..

The dependences of degree of depolarization (D) on vibration azimuth angle (VAA) and total retardation (TR) are analyzed. The results show that D is ideal for any VAA when TR is δ=(N+1/2)π (N is an integer) on the basis of wedge angle large enough. And when δ=Nπ, VAA makes the most significant impact on D. When δ is assigned to the other values, the impact on D made by VAA is between the former two. Using a 405 nm semiconductor laser, experiments for measuring D of the sample with wedge angle of 6° are conducted. The theoretical results are well verified by experiments. D is over 98.8% when TR is nearly δ=(N+1/2)π by changing the incident angle..

The current efficiency is improved compared with that of the device without the blocking layer. The highest luminous efficiency of the device with 6 nm BPhen acting as a blocking layer is 3.44 cd/A at 8 V, which is improved by nearly 1.5 times as compared with that of the device without it..

For achieving high response speed and high EO modulation efficiency, both waveguide structure and electrode structure are especially optimized. The impedance match and less index mismatch are achieved. The final characteristic impedance of electrode is about 49.4 Ω, and the microwave index and the lightwave index are 1.5616 and 1.6006, respectively. The device is fabricated using wet-etching technique and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching technique, and its performance is measured at 1.55 μm. Experimental results show that when the applied voltage is tuned, the modulator can be changed from ON state to OFF state. The insertion loss at ON state is 12 dB and the extinction ratio between ON and OFF states is about 10 dB. The high response speed is in nanosecond level for a square-wave signal. Therefore, the modulator possesses potential applications in high-speed optical networks on chip..

Due to only one wavelength is includedA novel scheme for all-optical ultra-wideband triplet signal pulse generation based on the cross-gain modulation (XGM) in a single semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is demonstrated. In this scheme, only one optical source and one SOA are needed, so the configuration is simple. Due to only one wavelength is included in the generated triplet pulse, no time difference between output signal light and probe light is introduced during the transmission process. By using the software of Optisystem 7.0, the impacts of the input signal width, the optical power and the wavelength of the optical source on the generated triplet pulse are numerically simulated and studied. The results show that the proposed scheme has better triplet signal pulse when the input signal pulse width is larger, and it is insensitive to the wavelength change within a certain range..

Unlike the traditional DSRR metamaterials, the DSRR discussed in this paper consists of two split rings connected by two bridgesA metamaterial based on complementary planar double-split-ring resonator (DSRR) structure is presented and demonstrated, which can optically tune the transmission of the terahertz (THz) wave. Unlike the traditional DSRR metamaterials, the DSRR discussed in this paper consists of two split rings connected by two bridges. Numerical simulations with the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method reveal that the transmission spectra of the original and the complementary metamaterials are both in good agreement with Babinet’s principle. Then by increasing the carrier density of the intrinsic GaAs substrate, the magnetic response of the complementary special DSRR metamaterial can be weakened or even turned off. This metamaterial structure is promised to be a narrow-band THz modulator with response time of several nanoseconds..

X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis demonstrates that the film exhibits hexagonal structures but with preferential nonpolar (100) plane orientation, which is different from the crystalline structure of substrate, and its formation mechanism is also analyzed. The film has the characteristic of p-type conductivity originating from excess of oxygen, and its p-type conductivity is comparatively stable due to its nonpolar plane orientation. A strong ultraviolet (UV) emission and a high light transmission in visible wavelength region are observed from photoluminescence (PL) spectrum and transmittance spectra at the room temperature, and the strong ultraviolet emission originates from the recombination of free and bound excitons. Compared with the ZnO film on silicon substrates, the exciton emission peaks of the film on sapphire substrate show a slight blue shift about 50 meV, which might be related to the different crystallite sizes or surface stress of the films..

Based on the calculated reflectance spectrum, it is shown that the extraordinary optical properties depend on the relative positions of the threshold wavelength and the photonic band gaps (PBGs). By suitably choosing the thickness of the superconducting or dielectric layer, a transmission narrow band filter or resonator can be designed without introducing any physical defect in this structure..

The implicit SAC labels are recognized using a frequency-swept local light source oscillator. An explicit SAC-label switching system with 40 Gbit/s intensity modulation (IM) payloads and 156 Mbit/s label and an implicit SAC-label switching system with 2.5 Gbit/s IM payloads and 156 Mbit/s label are both considered. Label and payload bit error rate (BER) performance is assessed and compared by simulations. The results reveal that after 80 km transmission and at the BER of 10-9, the received optical power (ROP) values of label and payload are -8.3 dBm and -23.5 dBm in implicit SAC-label switching system, respectively, while those are -18.2 dBm and -18.6 dBm in explicit SAC-label switching system, respectively. As a result, the payloads of 40 Gbit/s and 2.5 Gbit/s in explicit/implicit SAC-label switching system have little influence on the received payload quality at the BER of 10-9 after 80 km transmission. Finally, a payload of 40 Gbit/s can obtain 12.5 dB optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) after 80 km transmission..

The system iAtmospheric turbulence and platform vibration in the space optical communication can cause the offset and jitter of beam, which further result in the fluctuations of received optical power. To resist this effect, a communication system with fine tracking systems in the receiver and transmitter is designed. The system is used in the experiment of laser communication between high-rise buildings over a distance of 3.5 km. After adding a vibration source to the transmitter, the centroids of spots captured by the camera of the transmitter and the optical power of receiver are recorded for the purpose of analysis. When the vibration source works at the designated frequency, a peak appears at the corresponding frequency in the spectrum of the spot centroids and the optical power of receiver. Then the peak disappears once the fine tracking system begins to work. Compared with the condition without the fine tracking system, the minimum value of the optical power of receiver is increased by 5 dB, and the standard deviation is decreased by 30%..

The growth and collapse of the cavitation bubble are measured by two sensitive fiber-optic sensors based on optical beam deflection (OBD). Cavitation bubble tests are performed in water at different temperatures, and the temperature ranges from freezing point (0 °C) to near boiling point. The results indicate that both the maximum bubble radius and bubble lifetime are increased with the increase of temperature. During the stage of bubble rapidly collapsing in the vicinity of a solid surface, besides laser ablation effect, both the first and second liquid-jet-induced impulses are also observed. They are both increased with liquid temperature increasing, and then reach a peak, followed by a decrease. The peak appears at the temperature which is approximately the average of freezing and boiling points. The mechanism of liquid temperature influence on cavitation erosion is also discussed..
