GaInP2/GaInAs 两级顶电 池的带隙宽度。当 GalnAs 中间电池带隙宽度为 1.23eV 左右,而 GaInP 顶电池与其晶格匹配且Ⅲ族亚晶格完 全无序时,GaInP2/Ga(In)As/Ge 二三结电池的 AM0 理论效率最高。但此时,GaInP2/GalnAs 两级顶电池 已与 Ge 衬底严重晶格失配,失配率接近 1%。于是,GaInP2/Ga(In)As/Ge 三结电池的研究者们,在沿着 材料选择品格匹配优先的途径走了很远以后又发现,或许应该再回过头来考虑另一条途径的优点,即通过努力 实现品格失配材料的外延生长来获得材料带隙宽度选择的更大自由度。 139【题 名】国内首个小区太阳能发电系统在慈溪启用 【作 者】无 【机 构】不详 【刊 名】中华建设.2007(3).-55-55 【文

Fedosejevs, R Title: Efficient K x-ray source from submillijoule femtosecond laser pulses operated at kilohertz repetition rate Source: REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS, eFIRST Abstract: We report an efficient Cu K x-ray source produced by focusing submillijoule, 120 fs Ti:sapphire laser pulses on a solid copper target to a spot diameter of few microns. The experimental results show strong emission of K x-rays from solid targets from microplasmas created by p-polarized 0.2 0.3 mJ laser pulses at 1 kHz repetition rate. We have demonstrated K x-ray point source emission rates of 6.7 109 photons s into 2 sr at 1 kHz repetition rate. The source has an x-ray conversion efficiency into Cu K line emission of 3.2 10 5. The source has a measured size of 8 m. Such a high repetition rate K x-ray source can be very useful for time resolved x-ray diffraction and radiographic applications. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------163 Author(s): Ortac, B (Ortac, B.); Schmidt, O (Schmidt, O.); Schreiber, T (Schreiber, T.); Limpert, J (Limpert, J.); Tunnermann, A (Tuennermann, A.); Hideur, A (Hideur, Ammar) Title: High-energy femtosecond Yb-doped dispersion compensation free fiber laser Source: OPTICS EXPRESS, 15 (17): 10725-10732 AUG 20 2007 Abstract: We report on a mode-locked high energy fiber laser operating in the dispersion compensation free regime. The sigma cavity is constructed with a saturable absorber mirror and short-length large-mode-area photonic crystal fiber. The laser generates positively-chirped pulses with an energy of 265 nJ at a repetition rate of 10.18 MHz in a stable and selfstarting operation. The pulses are compressible down to 400 fs leading to a peak power of 500 kW. Numerical simulations accurately reflect the experimental results and reveal the mechanisms for self consistent intracavity pulse evolution. With this performance mode-locked fiber lasers can compete with state-of-the-art bulk femtosecond oscillators for the first time and pulse energy scaling beyond the mu J-level appears to be feasible.

A microgripper with overall dimensions 1.2 mm X 0.35 mm and a gap of 20 mu m was designed and fabricated for the purpose of grasping and transporting microscale objects in hostile and harsh environments. Atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition was used to deposit thin films (similar to 2 mu m) of 3C-SiC on (100) silicon substrates. A Ti:sapphire laser with 120 fs pulse width, 800 nm wavelength, and 1 kHz repetition rate was then used to perform "nonthermal" micromachining of thin films. Subsequent KOH anisotropic etching was used to dissolve the silicon substrate and release the gripper structures. The influence of laser pulse energy on the etch rate and quality of microfabricated grippers was examined and illustrated.

Title: Estimating spot size and relating hole diameters with fluence and number of shots for nanosecond and femtosecond laser ablation of polyethylene terephthalate Source: JOURNAL OF LASER APPLICATIONS, 19 (3): 158-164 AUG 2007 Abstract: The relationship between focused spot size, pulse energy, and ablated hole diameter was explored using 266 nm nanosecond pulses and 775 nm femtosecond pulses on polyethylene terephthalate. The spot size of a Gaussian laser beam can be deduced from the diameters of holes machined with single shots at different pulse energies but the results can be influenced by such issues as the thickness of the material and the range of fluence chosen. These limitations of the method were investigated. Multiple shot craters were also measured but gave an overestimation. of spot size, particularly in the femtosecond case. A model was developed to predict the diameter for a given energy and number of shots. Tests of the model gave results that agreed well with the predicted values. It was found that for the same total energy smaller holes can be obtained by decreasing the pulse energy and increasing the number of shots. An effective spot size for multiple shots was determined.

By designing the sequence of a domain inversion grating, different wavelengths at the output idler pulse almost have the same phase response, so femtosecond laser pulses at wavelength 800 nm can be shifted to other wavelengths without group-velocity mismatch.

Title: Direct-write patterning of indium-tin-oxide film by high pulse repetition frequency femtosecond laser ablation Source: APPLIED OPTICS, 46 (23): 5792-5799 AUG 10 2007 Abstract: Ablation of indium oxide doped with tin oxide (ITO) from glass substrates is described. Laser pulse energy and focus spot size were varied in single-pulse, single-spot ablation tests and for ablation of linear features with scanned multiple pulses. The single-pulse ablation threshold of ITO was smaller than that of the glass substrate so the entire thickness of 最新文献报导 28 XIOPM latest Documents Report ITO could be removed in a single pulse or with overlying multiple pulses without the possibility of substrate ablation. Linear features could be created at much higher scanning speeds using a high repetition frequency (100 kHz) Yb fiber amplified laser as compared to a lower repetition frequency (2 kHz) laser. An analysis showed that incubation effects lowered ITO ablation thresholds when pulse frequency was high relative to scanning speed, contributing to large feasible scanning speeds for high pulse frequency lasers.

A critical issue is to precisely control the intensities of the diffraction peaks of the CGH. We propose a method of compensating for the spatial frequency response in the design of CGH using the optimal-rotation-angle method. By applying the proposed method, the uniformity of the diffraction peaks was improved. We demonstrate holographic femtosecond laser processing with twodimensional and three-dimensional parallelism.

Potential mechanisms underlying fabrication of the unexpectedly deep channels in dielectrics are considered. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------172 Author(s): Gra fe, S; Kiefer, W; Engel, V Title: On the limitations of adiabatic population transfer between molecular electronic states induced by intense femtosecond laser pulses Source: JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS, eFIRST Abstract: The possibility to perform a stimulated Raman adiabatic passage process in molecules on the ultrafast time scale is investigated theoretically. Motivated by recent experiments, the B X electronic transitions in molecular iodine are studied as a prototype example with the goal to selectively induce a population transfer employing two intense and timedelayed ultrashort laser pulses and different coupling schemes. For the purpose of interpretation, the coupled multilevel vibronic problem is reduced to a quasi-three-level system by averaging over the vibrational degree of freedom. It is shown that the vibrational dynamics becomes essential at high field intensities. Considering a 2-dimensional parameter space (intensity and delay time of the femtosecond laser pulses), a strong-field control landscape is constructed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------173 Author(s): Chong, A (Chong, Andy); Renninger, WH (Renninger, William H.); Wise, FW (Wise, Frank W.) 最新文献报导 29 XIOPM latest Documents Report Title: All-normal-dispersion femtosecond fiber laser with pulse energy above 20 nJ Source: OPTICS LETTERS, 32 (16): 2408-2410 AUG 15 2007 Abstract: We report a study of the scaling and limits to pulse energy in an all-normal-dispersion femtosecond fiber laser. Theoretical calculations show that operation at large normal cavity dispersion is possible in the presence of large nonlinear phase shifts, owing to strong pulse shaping by spectral filtering of the chirped pulse in the laser. Stable pulses are possible with energies of tens of nanojoules. Experimental results from Yb-doped fiber lasers agree with the trends of numerical simulations. Stable and self-starting pulses are generated with energies above 20 nJ, and these can be dechirped to <200 fs duration. Femtosecond pulses with peak powers near 100 kW are thus available from this simple and practical design.

Title: Spectroscopic characterization of femtosecond laser filament in argon gas - art. no. 033111 Source: JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS, 102 (3): 33111-33111 AUG 1 2007 Abstract: We report a spectroscopic approach to measure the plasma density and electron temperature inside a filament created by an intense femtosecond laser pulse in atmospheric pressure argon gas. The technique relies on the proportionality between the Stark broadened argon fluorescence line width due to electron impact and the plasma density, while the electron temperature is determined from the well known Boltzmann plot. The obtained maximum plasma density is about 5.5 X 1016 CM-3, and the electron temperature is about 5800 K. Our method provides a promising and convenient way to characterize the filament for further understanding the fundamental physics and potential applications of filamentation.

A 2-mm-wide lane was ablated by ultrafast (10 cm s(-1)) back-and-forth movement of a 20-mu m laser beam parallel to the protein bands while the gel advanced perpendicularly. Ibis procedure resulted in a considerable increase in detection sensitivity (> 40-fold) compared to the nanosecond 266-mn laser ablation-ICPMS, mainly because of the much larger amount of ablated material introduced into the plasma on the time scale of the dwell time of the mass spectrometer. The method was applied to the specific detection in the gel of formate dehydrogenase expressed in Escherichia coli and of selenoproteins in Desulfococcus multivorans with detection limits at the lowfemtomolar levels. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------176 Author(s): Lan, PF (Lan, Pengfei); Lu, PX (Lu, Peixiang); Cao, W (Cao, Wei); Li, YH (Li, Yuhua); Wang, XL (Wang, Xinlin) Title: Carrier-envelope phase-stabilized attosecond pulses from asymmetric molecules - art. no. 021801 Source: PHYSICAL REVIEW A, 76 (2): 1801-1801 AUG 2007 Abstract: High-order harmonic generation from asymmetric molecules is investigated, and the concept of phase-stabilized infrared ultrashort laser pulses is extended to the extreme ultraviolet regime. It is shown that the ionization symmetry in consecutive half optical cycles is broken for asymmetric molecules, and both even and odd harmonics with comparable intensity are produced. In the time domain, only one attosecond pulse is generated in each cycle of the driving field, and the carrier-envelope phases of the attosecond pulses are equal. Consequently, a clean attosecond pulse train with the same carrier-envelope phase from pulse to pulse is obtained in the extreme ultraviolet regime. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------177 Author(s): Ghebregziabher, I (Ghebregziabher, Isaac); Walker, BC (Walker, Barry C.)

We find the spatial variation of a laser field affects the radiation and can no longer be neglected at laser intensities leading to relativistic effects. We identify three regimes for the interaction as a function of the ratio of the single cycle quiver amplitude of the photoelectron to the laser focus waist. Adopting a one-dimensional or plane wave approximation when the laser driven excursion of the photoelectron exceeds the focus waist overestimates the total radiated energy by as much as an order of magnitude. Despite this, the spectral amplitude of the highest-energy photons from ionization in a laser focus is comparable to the plane wave case for excursions up to the beam waist since the laser focus imparts an extra boost of speed for electrons exiting the focus. Full spatial and temporal integration that includes the ionization of charge states before the peak of the pulse do not differ significantly from results that include only the radiation from ionization of the charge state at the peak of the laser field. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------178 Author(s): Bragheri, F (Bragheri, F.); Faccio, D (Faccio, D.); Couairon, A (Couairon, A.); Matijosius, A (Matijosius, A.); Tamosauskas, G (Tamosauskas, G.); Varanavicius, A (Varanavicius, A.); Degiorgio, V (Degiorgio, V.); Piskarskas, A (Piskarskas, A.); Di Trapani, P (Di Trapani, P.)

The results identify the formation of shock fronts on both trailing and leading edges of the wave packet that are due to the formation of subluminal and superluminal group velocity intensity peaks, sustained by conical emission. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------179 Author(s): Yu, TJ (Yu, Tae Jun); Hong, KH (Hong, Kyung-Han); Choi, HG (Choi, Hyung-Gyu); Sung, JH (Sung, Jae Hee); Choi, IW (Choi, Il Woo); Ko, DK (Ko, Do-Kyeong); Lee, J (Lee, Jongmin); Kim, J (Kim, Junwon); Kim, DE (Kim, Dong Eon); Nam, CH (Nam, Chang Hee) Title: Precise and long-term stabilization of the carrier-envelope phase of femtosecond laser pulses using an enhanced direct locking technique Source: OPTICS EXPRESS, 15 (13): 8203-8211 JUN 25 2007 Abstract: We demonstrate a long-term operation with reduced phase noise in the carrier-envelope-phase (CEP) stabilization process by employing a double feedback loop and an improved signal detection in the direct locking technique [Opt. Express 13, 2969 (2005)]. A homodyne balanced detection method is employed for efficiently suppressing the dc noise in the f-2f beat signal, which is converted into the CEP noise in the direct locking loop working at around zero carrierenvelope offset frequency (f(ceo)). In order to enhance the long-term stability, we have used the double feedback scheme that modulates both the oscillator pump power for a fast control and the intracavity-prism insertion depth for a slow and high-dynamic-range control. As a result, the in-loop phase jitter is reduced from 50 mrad of the previous result to 29 mrad, corresponding to 13 as in time scale, and the long-term stable operation is achieved for more than 12 hours.

A 115 fs pulse train was generated by a passively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser. The pulses were near the Fourier transform limit. The pulse repetition rate was 12.2 MHz, the average power was 2.2 mW, and the peak power was 940 W. From the fiber-laser output, a small number of pulses were extracted using a lithium mobate optical modulator. The extracted pulses were amplified by an erbium-doped fiber amplifier with a small-signal gain of 400. The pulse was amplified with a net gain of 18 for a repetition rate of 1 MHz. The generation of micropl.asma from an amorphous carbon film was observed by irradiation of the output of the fiber laser system. The generation of the microplasrna was 最新文献报导 31 XIOPM latest Documents Report continuous when the position of irradiation was scanned. The diameter of the microplasma was 14 gm. A microablation trace of 15 mu m width was obtained on the film. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------181 Author(s): Guo, ZY (Guo, Zhongyi); Qu, SL (Qu, Shiliang); Ran, LL (Ran, Lingling); Liu, ST (Liu, Shutian) Title: Modulation grating achieved by two interfered femtosecond laser pulses on the surface of the silica glass Source: APPLIED SURFACE SCIENCE, 253 (21): 8581-8583 AUG 31 2007 Abstract: Modulation grating has been achieved by two interfered femtosecond laser pulses on the surface of the silica glass. The modulation grating formed at the middle of each bulge of the common grating and was attributed to the higher-order modulation arising from second-harmonic generation (SHG) of the femtosecond laser pulse incident to the surface of silica glass. The periods and depths of the fundamental grating and the modulation grating have been observed by using an atomic force microscopy (AFM). Experimental results show that the average depth of the modulation grating is nearly a half of the depth of the fundamental grating (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Title: Plasmonic laser nanoablation of silicon by the scattering of femtosecond pulses near gold nanospheres Source: APPLIED PHYSICS A-MATERIALS SCIENCE & PROCESSING, 89 (2): 283-291 NOV 2007 Abstract: We present the fabrication of nanostructures ablated on silicon(100) by the plasmonic scattering of 780 nm, 220 fs laser pulses in the near-field of gold nanospheres. We take advantage of the enhanced plasmonic scattering of ultrashort laser light in the particle near-field to ablate well-defined nanocraters. Gold nanospheres of 150 nm diameter are deposited onto a silicon surface and irradiated with a single laser pulse. We studied the effect of laser polarization on the morphology of ablated nanostructures and estimated the minimum fluence for plasmonic nanoablation. When the polarization of the incident radiation is directed at a 45 degrees angle into the substrate surface, a near-field enhancement of 23.1 +/- 7.6 is measured, reducing the required silicon ablation fluence from 191 +/- 14 mJ/cm(2) to 8.2 +/- 2.9 mJ/cm(2). Enhancements are also measured for laser polarizations parallel to the substrate surface when the substrate is angled 0 degrees and 45 degrees to the incident irradiation, giving enhancements of 6.9 +/- 0.6 and 4.1 +/1.3, respectively. Generated nanocrater morphologies show a direct imprint of the particle dipolar scattering region, as predicted in our theoretical calculations. The measured near-field enhancement values agree well with the maximum field enhancements obtained in our calculations. The agreement between theory and measurements supports that the nanocraters are indeed formed by the enhanced plasmonic scattering in the near-field of the nanoparticles. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------183 Author(s): Wang, XL (Wang, Xinlin); Lu, PX (Lu, Peixiang); Dai, NL (Dai, Nengli); Li, YH (Li, Yuhua); Liao, CR (Liao, Changrui); Chang, YX (Chang, Yanxiao); Yang, G (Yang, Guang); Zheng, QG (Zheng, Qiguang) Title: Morphology and oxidation of Zr-based amorphous alloy ablated by femtosecond laser pulses Source: APPLIED PHYSICS A-MATERIALS SCIENCE & PROCESSING, 89 (2): 547-552 NOV 2007 Abstract: Femtosecond laser ablation of an amorphous alloy in air, including single-pulse ablation, multi-pulse drilling and trenching has been investigated. Laser-induced ablation and related effects were examined by means of scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction.

Title: Influence of substrate cooling on femtosecond laser machined hole depth and diameter Source: APPLIED PHYSICS A-MATERIALS SCIENCE & PROCESSING, 89 (2): 559-563 NOV 2007 Abstract: Substrate temperature was observed to affect the machined hole depth and diameter during Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser machining of a copper substrate. We studied the blind holes drilled on copper specimens by multiple femtosecond laser (fs) pulses under two temperature conditions, namely the liquid nitrogen temperature (similar to 77 K) and the atmospheric temperature (similar to 298 K). Compared to the atmospheric temperature condition, we found that the diameters of the holes are smaller and the depths of the holes are deeper under the liquid nitrogen temperature condition. We attribute the reduction in diameter to the faster heat dissipation of the cooler substrate. We calculated multiple beam 最新文献报导 32 XIOPM latest Documents Report reflections in a channel and attribute the increased depth of the cooler substrate to the enhanced multiple laser beam reflections inside the laser drilled hole. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------185 Author(s): Hu, A; Rybachuk, M; Lu, QB; Duley, WW Title: Direct synthesis of sp-bonded carbon chains on graphite surface by femtosecond laser irradiation Source: APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS, eFIRST Abstract: Microscopic phase transformation from graphite to sp-bonded carbon chains (carbyne) and nanodiamond has been induced by femtosecond laser pulses on graphite surface.

The yield ratio of the C O bond breaking with respect to the C C bond breaking was varied in the range of 0.17 0.53 sensitively depending on the delay time between the two laser pulses, and the absolute value of the yield of the C O bond breaking was found to be increased largely when the Fourier-transform limited 800 nm laser pulse overlaps the stretched 400 nm laser pulse, demonstrating an advantage of the two-color intense laser fields in controlling chemical bond breaking processes.

The system represents the crucial part of the HpXe (hyperpolarized xenon) production process. We concentrated on the ECL system optimization - linewidth matching and frequency stabilization for the optical pumping process. We show that the intensity of optical feedback in the ECL laser influences linewidth and output power and it is possible to find an optimum value for the highest power spectral density coinciding with the absorption line of desire. At the optimum emission linewidth was reduced approximately ten times with only half of the total optical power loss. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------189 Author(s): Zhang, DM (Zhang Duan-Ming); Fang, RR (Fang Ran-Ran); Li, ZH (Li Zhi-Hua); Li, G (Guan Li); Li, L (Li Li); Tan, XY (Tan Xin-Yu); Liu, D (Liu Dan); Liu, GB (Liu Gao-Bin); Hu, DZ (Hu De-Zhi) Title: A new synthetical model of high-power pulsed laser ablation Source: COMMUNICATIONS IN THEORETICAL PHYSICS, 48 (1): 163-168 JUL 15 2007 Abstract: 最新文献报导 33 XIOPM latest Documents Report We develop a new synthetical model of high-power pulsed laser ablation, which considers the dynamic absorptance, vaporization, and plasma shielding. And the corresponding heat conduction equations with the initial and boundary conditions are given. The numerical solutions are obtained under the reasonable technical parameter conditions by taking YBa2Cu3O7 target for example. The space-dependence and time-dependence of temperature in target at a certain laser fluence are presented, then, the transmitted intensity through plasma plume, space-dependence of temperature and ablation rate for different laser fluences are significantly analyzed. As a result,, the satisfactorily good agreement between our numerical results and experimental results indicates that the influences of the dynamic absorptance, vaporization, and plasma shielding cannot be neglected. Taking all the three mechanisms above simultaneously into account for the first time, we cause the present model to be more practical. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------190 Author(s): Mohr, D (Mohr, Daniel); de Camargo, ASS (de Camargo, Andrea S.

The influence of scandium substitution for aluminium in the sodium aluminophosphate glass system (NaPO3)(0.83-)( Al2O3)(0.172-x)(Sc2O3)(x) (0 <= x <= 0.11) has been studied in detail by multinuclear high-resolution NMR experiments. Introduction of scandium into this glass system results in a systematic change in the aluminium speciation: as the substitutional parameter x is increased, aluminium is successively converted from six-to four-coordination. This result suggests that the scandium ions require more non-bridging oxygen atoms for coordination than aluminium in these glasses. Sc-45 chemical shifts are consistent with isolated six-coordinated scandium species. 31 P{45Sc} rotational echo adiabatic passage double resonance ( REAPDOR) curves show a monotonic increase in slope with increasing x, indicating that the number of P-31 - Sc-45 dipole - dipole couplings increases, consistent with a random spatial distribution of scandium. These results rule out the possibility of rare-earth clustering in these glasses. Both the Sc-45 MAS-NMR spectra and Sc-45{P-31} rotational echo double resonance ( REDOR) data indicate that the scandium species adopt a constant, compositionally independent local environment dominated by phosphorus in the second coordination sphere. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------191 Author(s): Davidkova, M (Davidkova, Marie); Juba, L (Juba, Libor); Bittner, M (Bittner, Michal); Koptyaev, S (Koptyaev, Sergey); Hajkova, V (Hajkova, Vera); Krasa, J (Krasa, Josef); Pfeifer, M (Pfeifer, Miroslav); Stisova, V (Stisova, Viktorie); Bartnik, A (Bartnik, Andrzej); Fiedorowicz, H (Fiedorowicz, Henryk); Mikolajczyk, J (Mikolajczyk, Janusz); Ryc, L (Ryc, Leszek); Pina, L (Pina, Ladislav); Horvath, M (Horvath, Martin); Babankova, D (Babankova, Dagmar); Cihelka, J (Cihelka, Jaroslav); Civis, S (Civis, Svatopluk) Title: A high-power laser-driven source of sub-nanosecond soft X-ray pulses for single-shot radiobiology experiments Source: RADIATION RESEARCH, 168 (3): 382-387 SEP 2007 Abstract: A large-scale, double-stream gas puff target has been illuminated by sub-kj, near-infrared (NIR) focused laser pulses at the PALS facility (Prague Asterix Laser System) to produce high-energy pulses of soft X rays from hot, dense plasma. The double-puff arrangement ensures high gas density and conversion efficiency from NIR to X rays approaching that typical for solid targets. In addition, its major advantage over solid targets is that it is free of debris and has substantially suppressed charged-particle emission. The X-ray emission characteristics of the source were determined for a range of gases that included krypton, xenon, N-2 CO and N-2,-CO. A demonstrated application of the xenon-based source is a single-shot damage induction to plasmid DNA. The yields of single-strand breaks (SSBs) and double-strand breaks (DSBs) were determined as a function of energy fluence adjusted by varying distance of sample from the source and thickness of aluminum filters.

Title: Modeling and experimental verification of plasmas induced by high-power nanosecond laser-aluminum interactions in air - art. no. 026405 Source: PHYSICAL REVIEW E, 76 (2): 6405-6405 Part 2 AUG 2007 Abstract: It has been generally believed in literature that in nanosecond laser ablation, the condensed substrate phase contributes mass to the plasma plume through surface evaporation across the sharp interface between the condensed phase and the vapor or plasma phase. However, this will not be true when laser intensity is sufficiently high. In this case, the target temperature can be greater than the critical temperature, so that the sharp interface between the condensed and gaseous phases disappears and is smeared into a macroscopic transition layer. The substrate should contribute mass to the plasma region mainly through hydrodynamic expansion instead of surface evaporation. Based on this physical mechanism, a numerical model has been developed by solving the one-dimensional hydrodynamic equations over the entire physical domain supplemented by wide-range equations of state. It has been found that model predictions have good agreements with experimental measurement for plasma front location, temperature, and electron number density. This has provided further evidence (at least in the indirect sense), besides the above theoretical analysis, that for nanosecond laser metal ablation in air at sufficiently high intensity, the dominant physical mechanism for mass transfer from the condensed phase to the plasma plume is hydrodynamic expansion instead of surface evaporation. The developed and verified numerical model provides useful means for the investigation of nanosecond laser-induced plasma at high intensities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------194 Author(s): Mercer, CJ (Mercer, C.

Title: High-contrast optical-parametric amplifier as a front end of high-power laser systems Source: OPTICS LETTERS, 32 (15): 2143-2145 AUG 1 2007 Abstract: A high-contrast preamplifier based on optical-parametric amplification with a short pump pulse is demonstrated. Again larger than 10(5) and measurement-limited contrast higher than 10(11) are obtained over a large temporal range extending within less than 10 ps of the peak of the pulse, because of the high instantaneous parametric gain provided by a short pump pulse in a nonlinear crystal. The energy gain and high contrast of this preamplifier make it a good seed source for high-power laser systems.

To enhance the X-ray intensity, we installed a laser circulation system. Now, we are performing the circulation experiment by using a high power laser (1.4 J, 532 nm). We confirmed the laser pulse circulated in the optical circuit more than 15 times and the laser intensity is enhanced about 3.5 times. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Title: High-power laser pulse recirculation for inverse Compton scattering-produced gamma-rays Source: NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS & METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH SECTION A-ACCELERATORS SPECTROMETERS DETECTORS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT, 578 (1): 160-171 JUL 21 2007 Abstract: Inverse Compton scattering (ICS) of high-power laser pulses on relativistic electron bunches represents an attractive method for high-brightness, quasi-monoenergetic gamma-ray production. The efficiency of gamma-ray generation via ICS is severely constrained by the small Thomson scattering cross-section. Furthermore, repetition rates of high-energy short-pulse lasers are poorly matched with those available from electron accelerators, resulting in low repetition rates for generated gamma-rays. Laser recirculation has been proposed as a method to address those limitations, but has been limited to only small pulse energies and peak powers. Here we propose and experimentally demonstrate an alternative method for laser pulse recirculation that is uniquely capable of recirculating short pulses with energies exceeding 1 J. ICS of recirculated Joule-level laser pulses has a potential to produce unprecedented peak and average gamma-ray brightness in the next generation of sources. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

With the optimum output coupler transmission T = 5.5% and pump power of 11.5W, the static output power of 3.01 W was obtained. The passively Q-switching operation with Co:LMA (initial transmission To = 90%) as saturable absorber, shows that the shortest output pulse width, the highest output power, the highest pulse repetition and the highest pulse peak power were 32 ns, 266 mW, 277 kHz, and 187 W, respectively. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------202 Author(s): Achtzehn, T (Achtzehn, T.); Lassen, J (Lassen, J.); Bricault, P (Bricault, P.); Albers, D (Albers, D.); Cocolios, TE (Cocolios, T.

Title: Al-26 beam production by a solid state laser ion source at TRIUMF Source: HYPERFINE INTERACTIONS, 174 (1-3): 27-32 JAN 2007 Abstract: Many experiments carried out at radioactive beam facilities require the production of intense, isotopically clean and isobar free beams of a particular isotope. At TRIUMF the addition of a resonant ionization laser ion source (TRILIS) enables a multitude of new beams and therefore new experiments to be carried out. Al-26 was one of the first radioactive ion beams delivered to an experiment using TRILIS. This paper outlines the development of the Al-26 ion beam for nuclear astrophysics. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------203 Author(s): Vinokurov, DA (Vinokurov, D.

Title: Saturation of light-current characteristics of high-power laser diodes (lambda=1.0-1.8 mu m) under pulse operation Source: SEMICONDUCTORS, 41 (8): 984-990 AUG 2007 Abstract: Spectral and light-current characteristics of separate-confinement lasers that are based on InAl-GaAs/InP and InGaAsP/InP alloys and emit in the wavelength range of 1.5-1.8 mu m are studied at high excitation levels (up to 80 kA/cm(2)) in pulse operation (100 ns, 10 kHz). It is shown that the peak intensity in the stimulated-emission spectrum saturates as the pump current is increased. Further increase in the emitted power is attained owing to the emissionspectrum broadening to shorter wavelengths, similar to lasers on the GaAs substrates (lambda = 1.04 mu m). It is established experimentally that the broadening of the stimulated-emission spectrum to shorter wavelengths is caused by an increase in the threshold current and by an increase in the charge-carrier concentration in the active region. This concentration increases by a factor of 6-7 beyond the lasing threshold and can be as high as 10(19) cm(-3) in pulse operation. It is shown that saturation of the light-current characteristics in pulse operation takes place in the InAlGaAs/InP and InGaAsP/InP lasers as the pump current is increased. It is shown experimentally that there is a correlation between saturation of the light-current characteristic and an increase in the threshold current in the active region. An increase in the charge-carrier concentration and gradual filling of the active region and waveguide layers with electrons are observed as the pump current is increased; stimulated emission from the waveguide is observed at high pump currents. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------204 Author(s): Villate, D (Villate, Denis); Blanchot, N (Blanchot, Nathalie); Rouyer, C (Rouyer, Claude) Title: Beam breakup integral measurement an high-power laser chains Source: OPTICS LETTERS, 32 (5): 524-526 MAR 1 2007 Abstract: We experimentally demonstrate the efficiency of a single-shot method to measure the beam breakup integral (B) accumulated across a high power chain.

From the in situ surface plasmon (SP), extinction measurements combined with ex situ TEM studies of the irradiated hydrosols, we conclude that the process of laser-induced fragmentation is cumulative with increasing number of subsequent pulses. Interestingly, irradiation of all parent hydrosols having different mean particle sizes (except of that one containing nanoparticles with the mean diameter of 5 nm) with laser pulses of the 532 nm wavelength and the same energy per pulse absorbed in the hydrosol resulted into hydrosols containing nanoparticles of very similar reduced mean sizes and size distributions. On the other hand, for the parent nanoparticle hydrosol with the initial mean particle diameter below 5 nm, a small increase of the mean particle size has been detected after irradiation with pulses of the same wavelength. The mean sizes of Au nanoparticles fragmented by 355 nm pulses were generally smaller than those fragmented at 532 nm. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Title: High-power picoseconds 355 nm laser by third harmonic generation based on CsB3O5 crystal Source: APPLIED PHYSICS B-LASERS AND OPTICS, 88 (2): 197-200 JUL 2007 Abstract: We report on the high average power third harmonic generation (THG) of a mode-locked picosecond laser in a CsB3O5 (CBO) crystal. The picosecond laser beam at 1064 nm is produced by a home-made 30 W master oscillator poweramplifier (MOPA) Nd:YVO4 laser system. The maximum THG output at 355 nm is up to 5.4 W. We also investigate the phase matching angle at different temperatures. During high power operation, the temperature of the CBO crystal is set at a high temperature of more than 100 degrees C. The THG system has shown a fine long-term stability for more than two months of operation.

High order molecule-field interactions are taken into account through the use of the electric-nuclear Born-Oppenheimer approximation [G. G. Balint-Kurti , J. Chem. Phys. 122, 084110 (2005)]. High degrees of alignment and orientation are achieved by optimized infrared laser pulses of duration on the order of one rotational period of the molecule. It is shown that, through the incorporation of a vibrational projection operator into the optimization procedure, it is possible not only to maximize the alignment and orientation but also to bring the whole system into a single prescribed vibrational manifold. Numerical calculations are performed for carbon monoxide using ab initio potential energies computed in the presence of external electric fields.

Protons produced by this laser with an energy spread of 100% were found to be improved to create peaks in the energy distribution with a spread of similar to 7% by the application of the RF electric field with an amplitude of +/- 40 kV synchronous to the pulsed laser. This scheme combines the conventional RF acceleration technique with laser-produced protons for the first time. It is possible to be operated up to 10 Hz, and is found to have good reproducibility for every laser shot with the capability of adjusting the peak positions by control of the relative phase between the pulsed laser and the RF electric field. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------211 Author(s): Milesa, SZ (Milesa, Sreckovic Z.); Eljka, T (Eljka, Tomic); Stank, OM (Stank, Ostoji M.); Jelena, IT (Jelena, Ilic T.); Nenad, B (Nenad, Bundaleski); Rade, SS (Rade, Sekulic S.); Vlada, M (Vlada, Mlinar) Title: The application of laser beam diffraction and scattering methods in the measurement of shape and determination of material parameters Source: LASERS IN ENGINEERING, 17 (3-4): 179-196 2007 Abstract: Lasers can be used for many applications including determination of size, in addition to the theory of diffraction and material dispersion phenomena. In this paper we calculated the corrections in angular intensity for the Gaussian and uniform particle distributions, the scattering intensity on cylindrical objects. We also evaluated the necessary mathematical summations. In addition, we analyse and Simulate the special positions of detectors using laser Doppler anemometric (LDA) methods, which can be used to determine the particle diameter. The dispersion measurements for actual fibres are given at the end. The geometric and material parameters of these fibres were taken before the evaluation of the angular scattering intensity. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------212 Author(s): Sarah, G (Sarah, Guillaume); Gratuze, B (Gratuze, Bernard); Barrandon, JN (Barrandon, Jean-Noel) Title: Application of laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) for the investigation of ancient silver coins Source: JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL ATOMIC SPECTROMETRY, 22 (9): 1163-1167 2007 Abstract: The main characteristic of ancient silver coins lies in the existence of silver surface enrichment that often covers them. The non-destructive methods used so far to analyze these precious objects do not take into account this phenomenon, whose importance cannot be estimated without destruction of the coins. Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), as a spot method particularly convenient for the analysis of solid samples, has been applied to ancient silver coins for the first time. This paper presents the LA-ICP-MS analytical protocol developed to 最新文献报导 39 XIOPM latest Documents Report characterize these objects, whose main innovation lies in the realization of concentration depth profiles for the major elements (Ag and Cu) and five main minor elements (Zn, Sn, Au, Pb, Bi). The concentrations determined in this way reflect the composition of the alloy that has not been disturbed by surface enrichment phenomena. Minor and trace elements are determined by average single spot analysis. The optimal experimental conditions have been defined by studying both modern alloys and ancient coins. The reliability of the matrix-matched standards and the reproducibility of the micro-samplings have been checked and the relevance of the protocol developed then verified by a comparison of the results obtained by LA-ICP-MS and fast neutron activation analysis. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------213 Author(s): Cheng, HY (Cheng, Haiying); Duong, TQ (Duong, Timothy Q.)

Several papers recently pointed out that the commonly used LSI equation involves an approximation that could result in incorrect data analysis. We investigated the impact of such an approximation and introduced a simplified analysis method to improve computation time. Flow phantom studies were performed for validation. Moreover, we demonstrated a novel LSI application by imaging blood flow of rat retinas under normal and physiologic-challenge conditions. Because bloodflow abnormality is implicated in many retinal diseases, LSI could provide valuable physiologic, and potentially diagnostic, information.

Title: Synthesis of nano-structured materials by laser-ablation and their application to sensors Source: APPLIED SURFACE SCIENCE, 253 (19): 7840-7847 JUL 31 2007 Abstract: We describe the synthesis of nano-structured materials of ZnO and Pd by laser ablation and their applications to sensors. The synthesis of ZnO nano-wires was performed by nano-particle assisted deposition (NPAD) where nano-crystals were grown with nano-particles generated by laser-ablating a ZnO sintered target in an Ar background gas. The synthesized ZnO nano-wires were characterized with a scanning electron microscopy and the photoluminescent characteristics were examined under an excitation with the third harmonics of a Nd:YAG laser. The nano-wires with a diameter in the range from 50 to 150 nm and a length of up to 5 mu m were taken out of the substrate by laser blow-off technique and/or sonication. It was confirmed that the nano-wires showed the stimulated emission under optical pumping, indicating a high quality of the crystalinity. Pd nanoparticles were generated by laser-ablating a Pd plate in pure water. The transmission electron microscope observation revealed that Pd nanoparticles with a diameter in the range from 3 nm to several tens of nanometers were produced. Using these nano-structured materials, we successfully fabricated sensors by the dielectrophoresis techniques. In the case of the ultraviolet photosensor, a detection sensitivity of 10 nW/cm(2) was achieved and in the case of hydrogen sensing, the response time of less than 10 s has been demonstrated with Pd nanoparticles.

Title: Application of the laser ablation for conservation of historical paper documents Source: APPLIED SURFACE SCIENCE, 253 (19): 7860-7864 JUL 31 2007 Abstract: Laser ablation was applied for surface cleaning and spectroscopic diagnostic, of historical paper documents and model samples in the framework of the conservation projects. During cleaning the spectra of ablation products were recorded by means of the LIBS technique which allowed for nearly non-destructive identification of surface layers such as contaminants, substrate and pigments. For consecutive laser pulses a strong decrease of band intensities of the emission lines of Ca, Na, K, Al and Fe ascribed to contaminants were observed. The effect was used for monitoring of the cleaning progress of stained paper. For surface cleaning and spectra excitation the Q-switched Nd:YAG laser of 6 ns pulsewidth operating at wavelengths of 266, 355, 532, and 1064 urn and of fluence selected from the range 0.3-0.9 J/cm(2) was applied. The ablation parameters were optimized in agreement with the literature and the results were confirmed by surface studies and testing of the mechanical and chemical properties, and also by the response to the ageing process of the paper substrate. In case of the model paper irradiated in the UV range at 266 and 355 nm a visual inspection revealed local damages of the cellulose fibers accompanied by a decrease of the mechanical strength of the substrate. The effect was more pronounced after artificial ageing. The best results were obtained for samples irradiated 最新文献报导 40 XIOPM latest Documents Report at 532 nm and at laser fluence below the damage threshold of 0.6 J/cm(2) which is in agreement with literature.

DWELL) grown by migration-enhanced molecular beam epitaxy. The energy spacing (Delta E-1) between the ground-state and the firstexcited-state transitions increases from 66 meV for the DWELL to 73 meV for the asym. DWELL. These results are consistent with Delta E-1 measured by photoluminescence excitation and the values of activation energy fitting. The photoluminescence linewidth of the asym. DWELL (40 meV) is narrower than that of the DWELL (70 meV), which shows superior uniformity in the former over the latter. The trends of the properties of the DWELL and the asym. DWELL deduced from the structural properties are in good agreement with those from the optical properties. From the results, it is strongly supported that the asym. DWELL is more suitable for application to long wavelength optical communication than the DWELL counterpart.

Title: Potassium cation affinities of matrix assisted laser desorption ionization matrices determined by threshold collision-induced dissociation: Application to benzoic acid derivatives Source: JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY A, 111 (33): 8152-8162 AUG 23 2007 Abstract: Threshold collision-induced dissociation of K+(xBA) complexes with xenon is studied using guided ion beam mass spectrometry. The xBA ligands studied include benzoic acid and all of the mono- and dihydroxy-substituted benzoic acids: 2-, 3-, and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and 2,3-, 2,4-, 2,5-, 2,6-, 3,4-, and 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid. In all cases, the primary product corresponds to endothermic loss of the intact xBA ligand. The cross section thresholds are interpreted to yield 0 and 298 K bond dissociation energies (BDEs) for K+-xBA after accounting for the effects of multiple ionneutral collisions, the kinetic and internal energy distributions of the reactants, and dissociation lifetimes. Density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory are used to determine the structures of the xBA ligands and their complexes with K+. Theoretical BDEs are determined from single-point energy calculations at the B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,2p) and MP2(full)/6-311+G(2d,2p) levels using B3LYP/6-31G* optimized geometries. Four favorable binding modes for the K+(xBA) complexes are found. In all complexes to an xBA ligand that does not have a 2-hydroxyl substituent, the most favorable binding mode corresponds to a single interaction with the carbonyl oxygen atom. Formation of a 4-membered ring via chelation interactions with both oxygen atoms of the carboxylic acid group is found to be the most favorable binding mode for all of the 2-hydroxy-substituted systems except K+(2,3dihydroxybenzoic acid). In these complexes, a hydrogen-bonding interaction between the hydrogen atom of the carboxylic acid moiety and the oxygen atom of the 2-hydroxy substituent provides additional stabilization. Formation of a 5-membered chelation ring via interaction of K+ with the oxygen atoms of adjacent hydroxyl substituents is also favorable and corresponds to the ground-state geometry for the K+(23DHBA) complex. Formation of a 6-membered chelation ring via interaction of K+ with the carbonyl and 2-hydroxyl oxygen atoms is also quite favorable but does not correspond to the ground-state geometry for any of the systems examined here. The experimental BDEs determined here are in very good agreement with the calculated values. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------218 Author(s): Kumar, S (Kumar, Santosh) Title: Identification of a novel laser dye substrate of mammalian cytochromes P450: Application in rapid kinetic analysis, inhibitor screening, and directed evolution Source: JOURNAL OF BIOMOLECULAR SCREENING, 12 (5): 677-682 AUG 2007 Abstract: The author sought to develop a high-throughput activity screening assay to carry out rapid kinetic analysis, inhibitor screening, and directed evolution of cytochrome P450 2C enzymes. Initially, of the 9 fluorescent substrates and 10 P450 2C enzymes tested, several P450 2C enzymes showed > 1 nmol/min/nmol P450 activity in cumene hydroperoxide (CuOOH)-suppoted reaction with a laser dye, 7-dimethylamino-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin (C152). A high-throughput 最新文献报导 41 XIOPM latest Documents Report steady-state kinetic analysis of the human P450 2C8, 2C9, and 2C 19 showed 1) k(cat) = 3 to 6 min(-1), 2) K-m,KCuOOH = 100 to 200 mu M, and 3) S-50, (C152) = 10 to 20 mu in the CuOOH system. In addition, P450 2C9 and 2C 19 showed a very high k(ca) (27 and 38 min(-1), respectively) in the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-supported reaction. Subsequently, when mammalian P450s from the other subfamilies were tested, P450 2B1 dH,2B4dH,2B5dH, 3A4, and 3A5 exhibited a significant activity in both CuOOH and NADPH systems. Furthermore, a high-throughput activity screening assay using whole-cell suspensions of the human P450 2C8, 2C9, and 2C19 was optimized. Overall, the data suggested that C152 can be used as a model substrate for mammalian P450s in CuOOHsupported reaction to perform rapid kinetic analysis, inhibitor screening, and directed evolution. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------219 Author(s): Grossel, A (Grossel, A.); Zeninari, V (Zeninari, V.); Parvitte, B (Parvitte, B.); Joly, L (Joly, L.); Courtois, D (Courtois, D.) Title: Optimization of a compact photoacoustic quantum cascade laser spectrometer for atmospheric flux measurements: application to the detection of methane and nitrous oxide Source: APPLIED PHYSICS B-LASERS AND OPTICS, 88 (3): 483-492 AUG 2007 Abstract: Room temperature (RT) quantum cascade lasers (QCL) are now available even in continuous wave (cw) mode, which is very promising for in situ gas detectors. Ambient air monitoring requires high sensitivity with robust and simple apparatus. For that purpose, a compact photoacoustic setup was combined with two cw QCLs to measure ambient methane and nitrous oxide in the 8 mu m range. The first laser had already been used to calibrate the sensitivity of the photoacoustic cell and a detection limit of 3 ppb of CH4 with a 1s integration time per point was demonstrated. In situ monitoring with this laser was difficult because of liquid nitrogen cooling. The second laser is a new RT cw QCL with lower power, which enabled one to reach a detection limit of 34 ppb of methane in flow. The loss in sensitivity is mainly due to the weaker power as photoacoustic signal is proportional to light power. The calibration for methane detection leads to an estimated detection limit of 14 ppb for N2O flux measurements. Various ways of modulation have been tested.

Title: FPGA technology application in a fast measurement and control system for the TESLA superconducting cavity of a FLASH free electron laser Source: MEASUREMENT SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, 18 (8): 2336-2347 AUG 2007 Abstract: Contemporary basic research in physics, biology, chemistry, pharmacology, material technology and other branches uses methods based on sample penetration (and the effect measurement) with pulsed ultra-short EM waves of very high beam intensity. This paper is an overview of a free electron laser (FEL) used in such methods. A method for the stabilization of the EM field in a superconducting 'TESLA' cavity accelerator for electrons is presented. This requires precise measurements of the field. The SC accelerator is a basic part of the FEL. The given example concerns the FLASH machine in DESY. The presented, high power EM field stabilization system is based on FPGA circuits with embedded fast hardware multiplication blocks. Examples of a few families of such new generation practically designed and constructed system realizations are given. The system is referred to as the SIMCON (from the microwave superconducting cavity SIMulator and CONtroller). SIMCONs consist of either single-module, multi-module configurable or multichannel distributed units. The SIMCON system stabilizes the EM field by a very fast feedback loop with an adaptation process, supplemented with a feed-forward. The following are presented: a parametric hardware description (firmware) in the form of behavioural VHDL algorithms; implementation results in VirtexIIPro circuits; examples of measurements of high power EM field stability performed under the nominal conditions of accelerator work. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------221 Author(s): Mazzetto, MO (Mazzetto, Marcelo O.); Carrasco, TG (Carrasco, Thaise G.); Bidinelo, EF (Bidinelo, Eliana F.); Pizzo, RCD (Pizzo, Renata C. de Andrade); Mazzetto, RG (Mazzetto, Rafaela G.) Title: Low intensity laser application in temporomandibular disorders: A phase I double-blind study Source: CRANIO-THE JOURNAL OF CRANIOMANDIBULAR PRACTICE, 25 (3): 186-192 JUL 2007 Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of low intensity laser therapy (LILT) for the control of pain from temporomandibular disorder (TMD) in a random and double-blind research design. Forty-eight (48) patients presenting temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain were divided into an experimental group (GI) and a placebo group (GII). The sample was submitted to the treatment with infrared laser (780 nm, 70 mW, 10 s, 89.7 J/cm(2)) applied in 最新文献报导 42 XIOPM latest Documents Report continuous mode on the affected temporomandibular region, at one point: inside the external auditive duct toward the retrodiskal region, twice a week, for four weeks. For the control group, two identical probes (one active and one that does not emit radiation) were used unknown by the clinician and the subjects. A tip planned for laser acupuncture was used and connected to the active point of the probe. The parameter evaluated was the intensity of pain after palpation of the condylar lateral pole, pre-auricular region and external auditive duct, according to the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Four evaluations were performed: Ev1 (before laser application), Ev2 (after 4(th) application), Ev3 (after 8(th) application) and Ev4 (30 days after the last application). Data were submitted to statistical analysis. The results showed a decrease in the pain level mainly for the active probe. Among the evaluations, the Ev3 exhibited lower sensitivity to palpation. In conclusion, the results show that low intensity laser is an effective therapy for the pain control of subjects with TMD. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------222 Author(s): Idris, N (Idris, Nasrullah); Kagawa, K (Kagawa, Kiichiro); Kurniawan, KH (Kurniawan, Koo Hendrik); Lee, YI (Lee, Yong Inn) Title: New electrode configuration for measurements of the induced current from a laser plasma and its application to monitoring laser processing Source: JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY, 51 (2): 515-521 AUG 2007 Abstract: An electromagnetic phenomenon in terms of the induced current in a laser ablation process has been studied, and its potential application has been demonstrated. A new electrode configuration for measuring the induced current emerged due to the interaction between the electric lines of force and the laser-produced plasma has been devised. In this new electrode configuration, the induced current is detected by employing a circuit of electrodes, supplied with several hundred DC volts and placed above the sample surface in parallel, which is called the parallel configuration. This parallel configuration provides a far higher flexibility in comparison with the sandwiched configuration developed in our previous work. The induced current signal can be detected from various samples of any size, including metals and nonmetals. We found that the source of the induced current was the outer electrons in the plasma. This induced current is very useful as a unique monitoring method and promises many applications in laser microprocessing. In this work, this induced current method was applied for several monitoring purposes in laser material processing, such as for estimating the ablated amount, monitoring the penetration of a laser beam into processed materials, and determining the precise tight focusing position of the lens, in real time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------223 Author(s): Tan, B (Tan, Bo); Venkatakrishnan, K (Venkatakrishnan, Krishnan) Title: Nd-YAG laser microvia drilling for interconnection application Source: JOURNAL OF MICROMECHANICS AND MICROENGINEERING, 17 (8): 1511-1517 AUG 2007 Abstract: Interconnect via formation using a diode-pumped solid-state Nd-YAG laser is becoming an important technique for the high volume manufacturing of microelectronics. However, ablative microvia formation using Nd-YAG lasers suffers from poor quality at sidewalls and top surface, which affects the subsequent metallization process. In this paper we examined various parameters to improve the drilling quality. The influence of wavelength (355 nm and 532 nm) on the machining quality was also studied in detail. A comparative analysis between single-shot and multiple-shot ablation was tested and discussed at a wavelength of 532 nm. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------224 Author(s): Leconte, Y (Leconte, Y.); Veintemillas-Verdaguer, S (Veintemillas-Verdaguer, S.); Morales, MP (Morales, M.

Title: Continuous production of water dispersible carbon-iron nanocomposites by laser pyrolysis: Application as MRI contrasts Source: JOURNAL OF COLLOID AND INTERFACE SCIENCE, 313 (2): 511-518 SEP 15 2007 Abstract: Carbon encapsulated iron/iron-oxide nanoparticles were obtained using laser pyrolysis method. The powders were processed to produce stable and biocompatible colloidal aqueous dispersions. The synthesis method consisted in the laser decomposition of an aerosol of ferrocene solution in toluene. This process generated, in a continuous way and in a single step, a nanocomposite formed by amorphous carbon nanoparticles of 50-100 nm size in which isolated iron based nanoparticles of 3-10 nm size are located. The effect of using different carriers and additives was explored in order to improve the efficiency of the process. The samples after purification by solid-liquid extraction with toluene, were oxidised in concentrated nitric acid solution of sodium chlorate, washed and finally ultrasonically dispersed in 1 mM trisodium citrate solutions. The dispersions obtained have hydrodynamic particle size less than 150 nut and are stable in 最新文献报导 43 XIOPM latest Documents Report the pH range of 2-11. Finally the shortening of the transversal relaxation time of water protons produced by the dispersed particles was studied in order to test the feasibility of these systems to be traced by magnetic resonance imaging techniques.

The glass fibre reinforced PA66 (PA66/GF) and its reinforced flame retarded equivalent (PA66/GF/FR) were prepared using a twinscrew extruder. The experimental results demonstrated that the MPP-FR increased the crystallisation rate and decreased the supercooling required for crystallising nucleation. The glass fibres increased the crystallisation rate and the amount of supercooling. Avrami analysis showed that the non-isothermal crystallisation of PA66 and its composites followed the Avrami equation. The activation energy for the transport of macromolecular segments to the growing surface was calculated by using the Kissinger method based upon DSC data, and the calculated activation energies were 243.5 kJ-mol(-1), 201.1 kJ.mol(-1) and 305.9 kJ.mol(-1) for PA66, PA66/GF and PA66/GF/FR, respectively. The activity of nucleation for GF and MPP-FR were 0.87 and 0.79 respectively, calculated by Dobreva's method. The results indicate that the MPP-FR has more effective ability to promote heterogeneous nucleation than GF. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------226 Author(s): Antkowiak, M (Antkowiak, Maciej); Kotynski, R (Kotynski, Rafal); Panajotov, K (Panajotov, Krassimir); Berghmans, F (Berghmans, Francis); Thienpont, H (Thienpont, Hugo) Title: Dynamic characteristics of nonlinear Bragg gratings in photonic crystal fibres Source: OPTICAL AND QUANTUM ELECTRONICS, 39 (4-6): 455-467 MAR 2007 Abstract: We study numerically the temporal and spatial dynamics of light in Bragg gratings in highly nonlinear photonic crystal fibre for a CW input signal. Our numerical model is based on the plane wave mode solver and a set of nonlinear coupled-mode equations which we solve using a variation of implicit fourth order Runge-Kutta method. We observe not only bistability of the intensity versus transmitted and reflected light but also complex dynamics. We demonstrate that for values of input intensity above the bistable region the steady state may undergo a supercritical Hopf bifurcation. For some ranges of the input intensity we also observe a coexistence of two periodic attractors. The dynamics found, in particular the features in the bifurcation diagram, strongly depend on the parameters of the fibre. Consequently, we suggest that by proper design of the photonic crystal in the cladding we can adjust such nonlinear features of the Bragg gratings as the width of the bistable region, the intensity at which the bifurcation occurs and also the characteristics of the dynamics at high values of input intensity. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------227 Author(s): Butvina, LN (Butvina, L.

We investigate propagation behaviour at multiple wavelengths simultaneously using confocal laser scanning microscopy. This will include an overview of the experimental geometry used and analysis methods employed for the measurement of the M-2 value at different spectral regions and an accurate beam waist of the white-light supercontinuum-based source. With this configuration, we observed that the white-light supercontinuum output of the PCF possessed M-2 values close to the absolute limit of unity across the visible spectrum, thus confirming diffraction-limited performance. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------229 Author(s): Chen, MY (Chen, Ming-Yang); Yu, RJ (Yu, Rong-Jin); Zhou, J (Zhou, Jun) Title: Polarization and leakage properties of rectangular lattice photonic crystal fibres with doped cores Source: JOURNAL OF OPTICS A-PURE AND APPLIED OPTICS, 9 (7): 577-580 JUL 2007 Abstract: Based on the analysis of birefringence and leakage properties in rectangular lattice photonic crystal fibres (RLPCFs), we present a simple technique of improving the optical properties of the fibres by the introduction of a doped core. The advantage of a doped core is firstly investigated by the comparison of the mode profiles of RLPCFs with a pure silica core, an additional air-hole in the core and a down-doped silica core. The influence of doping level on that of birefringence and leakage losses of the fibres is also explored. Our numerical simulation indicates, for PCFs with a anisotropic cladding, increased birefringence and reduced leakage losses can be obtained by a down-doped core. The proposed technique also has the merit of enlarging the mode field without the reduction of birefringence, therefore, coupling light to the fibre will become easier. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------230 Author(s): Yatsenko, YP (Yatsenko, Yu P.); Pryamikov, AD (Pryamikov, A.

Title: The influence of a polymeric nucleating additive on the crystallisation in glass fibre reinforced polyamide 6 composites Source: COMPOSITES SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, 67 (11-12): 2606-2615 SEP 2007 Abstract: 最新文献报导 45 XIOPM latest Documents Report Short glass fibre reinforced polyamide 6 composites compounded with a polymeric nucleating additive based on polyamide 2.2 of different content (0, 0.1 and 0.2 wt%) and processed by injection moulding have been studied to characterise the additive effect on the crystallisation kinetics and morphology. Differential scanning calorimetrical and optical hot stage experiments have shown a significant increase in the overall crystallisation rate as well as the spherulitic growth, respectively with nucleating additive content. Additionally, the presence of glass fibres is proven to enhance crystallisation. Atomic force microscopy confirms the existence of a transcrystalline layer in the vicinity of the glass fibres. The nucleating additives have significantly decreased the spherulitic size from about 15 to 20 mu m towards less than 5 pm, which leads to an improved fibre-to-matrix contact. Those morphological changes are seen as the reason for a strong increase in the Martens heat deflection temperature from 145 to 164 degrees C characterising an improved thermal stability.

The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis indicated that the samples were composed of metal Ag embedded in the BaTiO3 matrices. The optical absorption properties were measured from 300 nm to 800 nm, and the absorption peaks due to the surface plasmon resonance of Ag particles were observed. With the increasing of Ag concentration in composite films, the peak absorption increased and shifted to longer wavelength (red-shift). Furthermore, the third-order optical nonlinearities of the films were determined by z-scan method and the nonlinear refractive index, n(2), and nonlinear absorption coefficient, beta, were determined to be about -1.91x10(-13) m(2)/W and -5.80x10(-7) m/W, respectively.

We note that structures with an axially asymmetric nonlinear absorption can be easily realized from saturable and reverse saturable absorption materials arranged in tandem. In this paper, the 最新文献报导 46 XIOPM latest Documents Report basic transmission behavior of such a structure is worked out. Detailed numerical simulations demonstrate passive alloptical diode behavior, and the results are verified experimentally. The principle will work for all light polarizations, has no phase-matching restrictions, and can be extended to a large number of available nonlinear media for possible applications. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------238 Author(s): Jothy, VB (Jothy, V.

Ab initio molecular orbital computations were performed at HF/6-31G (d) level to derive equilibrium geometry, vibrational wavenumbers, intensities and first hyperpolarizability. The lowering of the imino stretching wavenumbers suggests the existence of strong intermolecular N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonding, which was substantiated by the natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. The vibrational spectra confirm that the charge-transfer interaction between the -NHCOCH3 group and - Br through phenyl ring is responsible for simultaneous strong IR and Raman activation of the ring mode 8a. Vibrational analysis indicates that the lowering of stretching wavenumbers of methyl group due to electronic effects simultaneously caused by induction and hyperconjugation is due to the presence of the oxygen atom. The presence of blue-shifting H-bonds of CH stretching wavenumbers, simultaneous activation of carbonyl stretching mode, the strong activity of low-wavenumber H-bond stretching vibrations and the role of intramolecular charge transfer in making the molecule NLO active have been analyzed on the basis of the vibrational spectral features.

Title: Effect of annealing on creation of second-order nonlinearity in twin-hole optical fibre of pure silica Source: ELECTRONICS LETTERS, 43 (17): 913-914 AUG 16 2007 Abstract: The effect of thermal pre-annealing on the creation of second-order nonlinearity in a pure twin-hole optical fibre thermally poled at 3.5 kV and 280 degrees C for 30 min has been investigated. In unannealed as-drawn fibres, a SON of similar to 0. 18 pm/V was induced at the core-cladding interface. The induced SON showed little polarisation dependence. In fibres pre-annealed at 400 degrees C for 3 h, the induced SON was smaller, decreasing to similar to 0.09 pm/V in magnitude. In fibres pre-annealed at 800 degrees C for 3 h, no detectable SON was found at the core-cladding interface. Electron-migration along connected existing defects at the core-cladding interface was postulated to be responsible for the frozen-in space-charge field that generated the effective SON observed. Thermal annealing is proposed to have caused defect-annihilation, which resulted in a smaller SON. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------240 Author(s): Wang, J (Wang, J.); Sun, J (Sun, J.); Sun, Q (Sun, Q.); Wang, D (Wang, D.); Zhou, M (Zhou, M.); Zhang, X (Zhang, X.); Huang, D (Huang, D.); Fejer, MM (Fejer, M.

The first hyperpolarizability (beta) and the second hyperpolarizability (gamma) of PDA with separated donor and acceptor substitution blocks have much larger values than those of the other substituted PDAs. For the PDAs with donor and acceptor substitution blocks, the relationship between the NLO properties and the block period is examined. It is shown, from the local density of states, that gamma of a system with a quantum well structure has a maximum value at a certain block size. This indicates that by tuning the size of proper block it is possible to achieve the largest gamma value in block polymers. Furthermore, the through-space/bond interaction analysis is performed to examine the pi-conjugation effects on the NLO properties for particular substituted PDA. It is demonstrated by our quantitative analysis that beta is affected by electron transfers in the molecule, and the quantum well structure is critical for gamma improvement.

Spectral ( UV/VIS and solvatochromic) and theoretical studies ( electronic properties based on semiempirical AM1 and PM3 methods) of the prepared compounds were carried out. The structure and physico-chemical parameters affecting the push-pull character and intramolecular charge transfer ( ICT) of the studied compounds have been investigated and compounds with enhanced hyperpolarizability beta have been predicted. The benzothiazolium salts were found to be much more effective NLO-phores in comparison with the corresponding neutral benzothiazoles. The 4-NPh2 group is the most effective donor. The extension of conjugated bridge improves the studied NLO characteristics. An additional acceptor group bonded to the heterocycle causes a red shift of lambda(max) but does not increase hyperpolarizability. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------245 Author(s): Xie, RS (Xie Ru-Sheng); Fan, WB (Fan Wen-Bin); Lu, M (Lu Ming); Zhao, YY (Zhao You-Yuan) Title: Orientation-enhanced nonlinear optical properties and phase-conjugate reflective system of a novel Azobenzene doped polymer film Source: CHINESE PHYSICS, 16 (9): 2725-2730 SEP 2007 Abstract: This paper reports that the nonlinear refractive index of a novel organic optical storage film doped azodiphenylamine polymer is measured by using the Z-scan technique. The nonlinear refractive index up to 3.7 x 10(-6) CM2/W induced by thermo-optical effect is obtained. It indicates that the sample has excellent optical nonlinear properties. The physical mechanism of the great nonlinear optical effect is analysed and the optical conjugate characteristic is also discussed with degenerate four-wave-mixing. The phase conjugate wave diffracted from the formative refractive index grating in the sample is acquired and its equivalent reflectivity reaches about 22%. On this basis, the reflective wave phase-conjugated mirror system was designed, and the image aberration experienced in propagation in the storage experiment is corrected by using the system. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------246 最新文献报导 48 XIOPM latest Documents Report Author(s): Sivaramakrishnan, S (Sivaramakrishnan, S.); Muthukumar, VS (Muthukumar, V.

Their Z-scan measurements reveal that optical limiting under 532 nm excitation stems from a strong nonlinear scattering (NLS) subsequent to nonlinear absorption (NLA) by suspension. On the other hand, the optical limiting is entirely due to NLA when excited with 1064 nm excitation in the nanosecond regime. The occurrence of NLS at one wavelength and absence at another is unusual, especially when compared to the behavior of carbon nanotubes under similar conditions, in which NLS is dominant at both wavelengths. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------247 Author(s): Mathews, SJ (Mathews, S.

We have observed low power optical limiting, with low limiting thresholds, based on nonlinear refraction in both the samples. We also present results on the NLO properties of the same dyes doped in Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). These studies indicate that both the phthalocyanines are potential candidates for low power optical limiting applications. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

The spectral response of the filter has been measured for the first three nonlinear spatial harmonics of the photorefractive grating. The dependence of a Bragg wavelength shift on the order of nonlinearity is reported, which should be considered for applications based on photorefractive gratings such as optical filters. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------249 Author(s): Shin, H (Shin, Heedeuk); Chang, HJ (Chang, Hye Jeong); Boyd, RW (Boyd, Robert W.); Choi, MR (Choi, M.

The third-order nonlinear refractive index coefficient gamma and absorption coefficient beta of the BLT thin film are 3.1 x 10(-10) cm(2)/W and 3 x 10(-5) cm/W, respectively, which are much larger than those of most ferroelectric films. The results show that the BLT thin films on quartz substrates are good candidate materials for applications in nonlinear optical devices.

These solitons are not allowed in the conventional coupled mode equations with uniform nonlinearity and exist outside the linear grating band gap. Their related Hamiltonian phase portrait was briefly reported by de Sterke [Phys. Rev. E 54, 1969 (1996)]. The explicit expressions for the corresponding solitons are presented, as well as their bifurcation process. We demonstrate the unstable propagation of perturbed combined solitons with zero velocity by means of direct numerical integration.

The use of an optical spacer allows for an independent optimization of both the electronic and optical properties of the tandem cell. The optical transmission window of the bottom cell is optimized to match the optical absorption of the top cell by varying the layer thickness of the optical spacer. The two bulk heterojunction subcells have complementary absorption maxima at max 850 nm for the top cell and max 550 nm for the bottom cell. The subcells are electronically coupled in series or in parallel using four electrical contacts. The series configuration leads to an open-circuit voltage of 1 V, which is equal to the sum of both subcells. The parallel configuration leads to a 最新文献报导 50 XIOPM latest Documents Report high short-circuit current of 92 A m2, which is equal to the sum of both subcells. The parallel configuration results in a much higher efficiency compared to the series configuration. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------255 Author(s): Rokkas, T (Rokkas, Theodore); Kamalakis, T (Kamalakis, Thomas); Katsianis, D (Katsianis, Dimitris); Varoutas, D (Varoutas, Dimitris); Sphicopoulos, T (Sphicopoulos, Thomas) Title: Business prospects of wide-scale deployment of free space optical technology as a last-mile solution: a technoeconomic evaluation Source: JOURNAL OF OPTICAL NETWORKING, 6 (7): 860-870 JUL 2 2007 Abstract: A technoeconomic evaluation of the business prospects of a wide-scale deployment of free space optical (FSO) technology as a last-mile solution is carried out. The evaluation is based on a technoeconomic tool that taking into account network topology, area characteristics, service demand, and price evolution forecasts, estimates key economic figures-of-merit. It is shown that FSO technology could provide a viable alternative in situations where the duct availability is limited, and fiber-to-the-home/office or fiber-to-the-cabinet scenarios have negative or less favorable business prospects. Hybrid fiber/FSO scenarios are also investigated taking into account different FSO coverage conditions.

Title: Plastic planar-integrated free-space optical interconnector Source: JAPANESE JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS PART 1-REGULAR PAPERS BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS & REVIEW PAPERS, 46 (8B): 5504-5507 AUG 2007 Abstract: The planar integration of free-space optical (PIFSO) systems on poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) substrates was demonstrated using an example of a fiber-to-free-space-to-fiber interconnector module. This plastic module was designed to accommodate standard mechanically-tran sferable-(MT-) connected fiber cables and contained a set of two nested refractive imaging lenses, one of which was used as an off-axis lens. In our experiment, an average coupling efficiency of -4.4 dB and a crosstalk suppression larger than 33 d13 were measured. The perfortnance, fabrication tolerances, and operation conditions of this interconnector module as well as the general benefits of plastic materials for the PIFSO systems were discussed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------257 Author(s): Stavitski, E (Stavitski, Eli); Kox, MHF (Kox, Marianne H.

Title: Revealing shape selectivity and catalytic activity trends within the pores of H-ZSM-5 crystals by time- and spaceresolved optical and fluorescence microspectroscopy Source: CHEMISTRY-A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, 13 (25): 7057-7065 2007 Abstract: A combination of in-situ optical and fluorescence microspectroscopy has been employed to investigate the oligomerization of styrene derivatives occurring in the micropores of coffin-shaped H-ZSM-5 zeolite crystals in a spaceand time-resolved manner. The carbocationic intermediates in this reaction act as reporter molecules for catalytic activity, since they exhibit strong optical absorption and fluorescence. In this way, reactant selectivity and restricted transition-state selectivity for 14 substituted styrene molecules can be visualized and quantified. Based on a thorough analysis of the time- and space-resolved UV/Vis spectra, it has been revealed that two main parameters affect the reaction rates, namely, the carbocation stabilization effect and the diffusion hindrance. The stabilization effect was tested by comparison of the reaction rates for 4-methoxystyrene versus 4-methylstyrene and in the series 4-bromo-, 4chloro and 4-fluorostyrene; in both cases less electronegative substituents were found to accelerate the reaction. As to the steric effect, bulkier chemical groups bring down the reaction rate, as evident from the observation that 4methoxystyrene is more reactive than 4-ethoxystyrene due to differences in their diffusivity, while heavily substituted styrenes, such as 3,4-dichlorostyrene and 2,3,4,5,6pent afluorostyren e, cannot enter the zeolite pore system and therefore do not display any reactivity. Furthermore, P-methoxystyrene and trans-p-methylstyrene show limited reactivity as well as restricted reaction-product formation due to steric constraints imposed by the H-ZSM-5 channel system. Finally, polarized-light optical microspectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy demonstrate that dimeric styrene compounds are predominantly formed and aligned within the straight channels at the edges of the crystals, whereas a large fraction of trimeric carbocations along with dimeric compounds are present in the straight channels of the main body of the H-ZSM-5 crystals. Our results reinforce the observation of a non-uniform catalytic behavior within zeolite crystals, with specific parts of the zeolite grains being less accessible and reactive towards reactant molecules. 最新文献报导 51 XIOPM latest Documents Report The prospects and potential of this combined in-situ approach for studying large zeolite crystals in the act will be discussed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------258 Author(s): Premaratne, M (Premaratne, M.); Zheng, FC (Zheng, F.-C.)

Title: Polyimide spacers for flip-chip optical MEMS Source: JOURNAL OF MICROELECTROMECHANICAL SYSTEMS, 16 (4): 959-968 AUG 2007 Abstract: Multichip integration provides an attractive means to overcome space limitations for large-port-count optical microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) routing systems by allowing actuation and control wiring to be fabricated separately on one chip and then attached beneath a second chip that is populated with a densely packed mirror array. In such systems, vertical as well as horizontal chip alignment is critical when a large but very uniform separation must be maintained across the extent of the array. A technique for creating a structure that simultaneously provides accurate large-gap spacing and acts as a chip-bonding agent is presented here. Specialized processing of an 80-mu m-thick photoimaged polyimide structure for bonding mirror and electrode chips for a 1296-mirror array is described, along with measurements of height uniformity within +/-1% and structure characterization demonstrating suitability for production and long-term stability. The process parameters and simplicity of the technique make it suitable for a wide range of applications where MEMS must be integrated with electronic control circuitry. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------261 Author(s): Selfridge, RH (Selfridge, Richard H.); Schultz, SM (Schultz, Stephen M.); Hawkins, AR (Hawkins, Aaron R.)

And in the polymers, different isolation groups were introduced to the sulfonyl-based chromophore moieties at the acceptor side. Thus, polyurethane P1 containing aniline groups was obtained from the copolymerization of 2,4-toluenediisocyanate (TDI) and N,N-2-(2-hydroxyethyl) aniline directly; then a postazo coupling reaction of p-(2-hydroxyethyl)sulfonylbenzenediazonium fluoroborate toward the aniline ring afforded the sulfonyl-based chromphore-functionalized polyurethane P2, which underwent the subsequent esterification reactions between the hydroxyl groups in P2 and different organic acids to link different isolation spacers (changing from small groups to much larger ones such as carbazolyl groups), to the chromophore moieties at the acceptor side, to yield polyurethanes P3, P4 and P5. The polymers exhibit good solubility in common organic solvents and are thermally stable. The maximum absorption appeared at about 436 nm with a cutoff at ca. 570 nm, resulting in a wider transparency window. The tested NLO properties demonstrate that the resonant d(33) Values of polymers could be improved about 1.5 times by attaching isolation spacers with suitable bulkiness. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

An odd-even effect of the alkylene spacer length between the cinnamate end group and biphenyl group on the transition temperatures of the polymer, photoinduced optical anisotropy, and thermal amplification of the in-plane molecular reorientation of thin films are observed. Because of the higher straight-line characteristics of the mesogenic side groups with an odd number alkylene spacer, the axis-selectivity of the anisotropic photoreaction of the photoreactive groups is greater than that with an even number, which leads to a larger photoinduced optical anisotropy and effective molecular reorientation. Finally, the cooperative reorientation in composites of the polymer and nonliquid crystalline monomer is explored to amplify the reorientational order of the film. The resultant reoriented composite film exhibits an in-plane order parameter of 0.52 and birefringence at 633 nm of 0.15. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------265 Author(s): Yuan, XC (Yuan, X.-C.); Ahluwalia, BPS (Ahluwalia, B.

Variations of the SCW amplitude as a function of the applied magnetic field are revealed and uncover a quadratic dependence. The phenomenon strongly depends on the magnetic field direction. These results give strong evidence for a major contribution of the magnetoresistance to the discovered effect. Hence, SCW measurements in a magnetic field provide a precise tool for investigations of the magnetoresistance. Key advantages for purposes of material analysis are discussed.

The study was based on magnified images of the thermospray formed inside the hot tube furnace by using a high-speed CMOS camera. For this purpose different image acquisition speeds were used (from 1000 to 18000 frames/s), revealing that the thermospray obtained under such conditions is quite different from those already reported. The frames of the thermospray evolution indicate that the Leindenfrost effect plays an important role and allow us to propose a mechanism for its formation. The analysis of the images contributed to calculation of parameters related to thermospray formation, such as pulse incidence average (110 +/- 10, 320 +/- 50, and 1200 +/- 150 pulses per second) and pulse speed (6 +/- 1, 10 +/- 1, and 14 +/- 2 m s(-1)) for 0.1, 0.4, and 1.0 mL min(-1) flow rate, respectively, for both parameters. Additionally, the evaporation constant (lambda) of 10(-4) m(2) s(-1) was estimated, and the present thermospray was correlated to the conventional sprays using the Sauter mean diameter (SMD) parameter, which ranged from ca. 2 to 44 mu m. In order to correlate the information obtained through images with analytical parameters employing the thermospray, the sensitivities for cadmium determination at each condition (0.12, 0.11, and 0.069 s L mu g(-1) for 0.1, 0.4, and 1.0 mL min(-1) flow rate, respectively) were taken into account. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------268 Author(s): Baluya, DL (Baluya, Dodge L.); Garrett, TJ (Garrett, Timothy J.); Yost, RA (Yost, Richard A.) Title: Automated MALDI matrix deposition method with inkjet printing for imaging mass spectrometry Source: ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY, 79 (17): 6862-6867 SEP 1 2007 Abstract: Careful matrix deposition on tissue samples for matrixassisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) is critical for producing reproducible analyte ion signals. Traditional methods for matrix deposition are often considered an art rather than a science, with significant sample-to-sample variability. Here we report an automated method for matrix deposition, employing a desktop inkjet printer (<$200) with 5760 x 1440 dpi resolution and a six-channel piezoelectric head that delivers 3 pL/drop. The inkjet printer tray, designed to hold CDs and DVDs, was modified to hold microscope slides. Empty ink cartridges were filled with MALDI matrix solutions, including DHB in methanol/water (70:30) at concentrations up to 40 mg/ mL. Various samples (including rat brain tissue sections and standards of small drug molecules) were prepared using three deposition methods (electrospray, airbrush, inkjet). A linear ion trap equipped with an intermediate-pressure MALDI source was used for analyses. Optical microscopic examination showed that matrix crystals were formed evenly across the sample. There was minimal background signal after storing the matrix in 最新文献报导 54 XIOPM latest Documents Report the cartridges over a 6-month period. Overall, the mass spectral images gathered from inkjet-printed tissue specimens were of better quality and more reproducible than from specimens prepared by the electrospray and airbrush methods. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------269 Author(s): Yin, SM (Yin Shi-Min); Bin, XL (Xiangli Bin); Zhou, JS (Zhou Jin-Song); Min, H (Huang Min) Title: Real-time data processing of interferential imaging spectrometer based on FPGA Source: JOURNAL OF INFRARED AND MILLIMETER WAVES, 26 (4): 274-278 AUG 2007 Abstract: Based on the data processing technologies of interferential spectrometer, a sort of real-time data processing system on chip of interferential imaging spectrometer was studied based on large capacitance and high speed field programmable gate array( FPGA) device.

It is used in electron-ion coincidence experiments to record multiple ionic fragments produced in breakup reactions of small to medium sized molecules, such as F3SiCH2CH2Si(CH3)(3). These breakup reactions are caused by soft x rays or intense laser fields. The ion spectrometer uses pulsed extraction fields, an electrostatic lens, and a delay line detector to resolve the position. Additionally, we describe a simple analytical method for calculating the momentum from the measured hit position and the time of flight of the ions.

Title: Quantitative imaging of selenium, copper, and zinc in thin sections of biological tissues (Slugs-Genus arion) measured by laser ablation inductively coupled of plasma mass spectrometry Source: ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY, 79 (16): 6074-6080 AUG 15 2007 Abstract: Quantitative imaging analysis of endogenous an exogenous elements throughout entire organisms is required for studies of bioavailability, transport processes, distribution, contamination and to monitor environmental risks using indicator organisms. An imaging mass spectrometric technique using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (IA-ICPMS) was developed to analyze selenium and metal distributions in longitudinal sections (thickness, 100,mu m) of entire slugs (genus arion). Slugs were fed with either a placebo or solutions containing 1000 mu g mL(-1) Se. Samples (raster area, 25 mm x 45 mm) were scanned together with synthetic matrix-matched standards with a focused beam of a Nd:YAG laser (wavelength, 266 nm; diameter of laser crater, 50 mu m; laser power density, 3 x 10(9) W cm(-2)) in a large laser ablation chamber. The ablated material was transported with argon as carrier gas to the ICP ion source at a double focusing sector field ICPMS. Ion intensities of selenium (Se-78(+), Se-82(+)) were measured together with C-13(+), Cu-63(+), and Zn-64(+) within the entire tissue section. The regression coefficient of the calibration curve was 0.998. Inhomogeneous distributions for Se but also for C, Cu, and Zn were found. Selenium was enriched in the kidney (150 mu g g(-1) in Se-treated animals versus 15 mu g g(-1) in the placebo-treated animal, respectively) and in the digestive gland (200 mu g g(-1) versus 25 mu g g(-1)). Highest Se concentrations were detected in the gut of Se-treated slugs (250 mu g g(-1)), and additional Se occurred in the skin of these animals. Cu was enriched in the heart and the mucous ventral skin. Interestingly, in addition to the localization in the digestive gland, Zn was detected only in the dorsal skin but not the ventral skin. The developed analytical technique allows the quantitative imaging of selenium together with selected metals in thin sections of biological tissue with limits of detection at the submicrogram per gram range. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------272 Author(s): Rolles, D (Rolles, D.); Pesic, ZD (Pesic, Z.

The spectrometer is equipped with four electrostatic lenses that focus the charged photoionization products onto a position-sensitive multi-hit delay-line anode. The use of two additional electrostatic lens elements as compared to the standard design of Eppink and Parker [A.T.J.B. Eppink, D.H. Parker, Rev. Sci. Instr. 68 (1997) 3477] provides better focusing of an extended interaction region, which is crucial for most SR applications. Furthermore, the apparatus is equipped with a second micro-channel plate detector opposite to the VMI spectrometer, enabling electron-ion coincidence experiments and thereby mass-resolved ion spectroscopy independent of the time structure of the synchrotron radiation. First results for the photofragmentation Of CO2 molecules are presented. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Title: Injection-detection experiments in all aluminum 1-D imaging spectrometers based on superconducting tunnel junctions Source: IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON APPLIED SUPERCONDUCTIVITY, 17 (2): 302-305 Part 1 JUN 2007 Abstract: We report on a class of low temperature radiation detectors based on superconducting tunnel junctions (STJs) in which the incoming radiation is absorbed in a long superconducting strip while the readout operation occurs at the two ends of the strip, where two STJs are laterally positioned. These Distributed Read-Out Imaging Devices, or DROIDs, provide spectroscopy, I-D imaging, single-photon sensitivity, and high quantum efficiency, all in one device. Typically these devices are realized by using Tantalum for the absorber strip and Aluminum for the two STJs. In this way the quasiparticles are created in the Tantalum and subsequently trapped in the Aluminum. As illustrated here, it is possible to fabricate a DROID using a single superconducting material. This choice gives up the trapping effect but has the advantage of eliminating the interface between different superconducting materials. Such a device combines the best quality STJs, large diffusion and lifetime values, with low energy gap for improved energy and position resolution. We report on measurements of current injection done on prototype devices, which demonstrates that STJs can serve as quasi-particle sinks and facilitate charge division in DROIDs. For sufficiently high tunneling rates, DROIDs based on a single material may be able to obtain performances comparable to DROIDs based on two materials. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------274 Author(s): Shimma, S (Shimma, Shuichi); Sugiura, Y (Sugiura, Yuki); Hayasaka, T (Hayasaka, Takahiro); Hoshikawa, Y (Hoshikawa, Yutaka); Noda, T (Noda, Tetsuo); Setou, M (Setou, Mitsutoshi) Title: MALDI-based imaging mass spectrometry revealed abnormal distribution of phospholipids in colon cancer liver metastasis Source: JOURNAL OF CHROMATOGRAPHY B-ANALYTICAL TECHNOLOGIES IN THE BIOMEDICAL AND LIFE SCIENCES, 855 (1): 98-103 AUG 1 2007 Abstract: We present the results of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) imaging and direct molecular identification using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) in colon cancer liver metastasis. Cancer tissue was removed from a Japanese patient and frozen immediately without any fixations. The sections were sliced to a thickness of 3 mu m. The matrix for lipid ionization was 2,6-dihydroxy acetophenone. The matrix solution was applied with an airbrush into a thin uniform matrix layer on the tissue surface. After two-dimensional laser scanning, the images were reconstructed as a function of m/z from a few hundred obtained spectra. In the obtained images, the existence of molecules was represented by a pseudo-color corresponding to the signal intensity. In a feasibility study, we picked up a localized signal, m/z 725 in a cancerous area. The MS/MS result suggested that m/z 725 was sphingomyelin(16:0)+Na. Thus, we successfully show the feasibility of MALDI imaging as a tool for the analysis of pathological specimens. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

LA-ICP-MS was used to produce images of detailed regionally-specific element distribution in 20 pm thin sections of different parts of the human brain. The quantitative determination of copper, zinc, lead and uranium distribution in thin slices of human brain samples was performed using matrix-matched laboratory standards via external calibration procedures. Imaging mass spectrometry provides new information on the spatially inhomogeneous element distribution in thin sections of human tissues, for example, of different brain regions (the insular region) or brain tumor tissues. The detection limits obtained for Cu, Zn, Ph and U were in the ng g(-1) range. Possible strategies of LA-ICP-MS in brain research and life sciences include the elemental imaging of thin slices of brain tissue or applications in proteome analysis by combination with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization NIS to study phospho- and metal- containing proteins will be discussed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------276 Author(s): McLean, JA (McLean, John A.); Ridenour, WB (Ridenour, Whitney B.); Caprioli, RM (Caprioli, Richard M.) Title: Profiling and imaging of tissues by imaging ion mobility-mass spectrometry Source: JOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY, 42 (8): 1099-1105 AUG 2007 Abstract: Molecular profiling and imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) of tissues can often result in complex spectra that are difficult to interpret without additional information about specific signals. This report describes increasing data dimensionality in IMS by combining two-dimensional separations at each spatial location on the basis of imaging ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS). Analyte ions are separated on the basis of both ion-neutral collision cross section and m/z, which provides rapid separation of isobaric, but structurally distinct ions. The advantages of imaging using ion mobility prior to MS analysis are demonstrated for profiling of human glioma and selective lipid imaging from rat brain.

Two cell-types with a specific fatty acid distribution are shown. In rat cerebellum, different distribution patterns of stearic acid (C18:0), palmitic acid (C16:0), and oleic acid (C18:1) were found. Stearic acid signals were observed accumulated in Purkinje cells with high intensities inside the cell, but not in the nucleus region. The signals colocalized with high intensity signals of the phosphocholine head group, indicating origin from phosphatidylcholine or sphingomyelin. In mouse intestine, high palmitic acid signals were found in the secretory crypt cells together with high levels of phosphorylinositol colocalized in the crypt region. Palmitic acid was also seen in the intestinal lumen that contains high amounts of mucine, which is known to be produced in the crypt cells. Linoleic acid signals (C18:2) were low in the crypt region and high in the villus region. Oleic acid signals were seen in the villi and stearic acid signals were ubiquitous with no specific localization in the intestine. We conclude that the results obtained by using imaging TOF-SIMS are consistent with known brain and intestine biochemistry and that the localization of fatty acids is specific in differentiated cells. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------278 Author(s): McDonnell, LA (McDonnell, Liam A.); Heeren, RMA (Heeren, Ron M.

Title: Imaging mass spectrometry Source: MASS SPECTROMETRY REVIEWS, 26 (4): 606-643 JUL-AUG 2007 Abstract: Imaging mass spectrometry, combines the chemical specificity and parallel detection of mass spectrometry with microscopic imaging capabilities. The ability to simultaneously obtain images,from all analytes detected, front atomic to macromolecular tons, allows the analyst to probe the chemical organization of a sample and to correlate this with physical features. The sensitivity of the ionization step, sample preparation, the spatial resolution, and the speed of the technique are all important parameters that affect the type of information obtained. Recently. significant progress has been made in each of these steps for both secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) imaging of biological samples. Examples demonstrating localization of proteins in 最新文献报导 57 XIOPM latest Documents Report tumors, a reduction of lamellar phospholipids in the region binding two single celled organisms, and sub-cellular distributions of several biomolecules have all contributed to an increasing upsurge in interest in imaging mass spectrometry. Here we review many of the instrumental developments and methodological approaches responsible for this increased interest, compare and contrast the information provided by SIMS and MALDI imaging, and discuss future possibilities.

NC100692 consists of a cyclic RGD-containing peptide with an ethylene glycol chain linked to the C-terminal amino acid and a Tc-99m-binding chelator linked to the N-terminal amino acid. The present report describes a method for quantification of NC100692 in human citrated plasma. The method is based on solid-phase extraction followed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography using a gradient of water and acetonitrile with 0.1% formic acid. The chromatographic system was coupled on-line with an electrospray mass spectrometer. The analyses were performed by selective ion monitoring of the [M+2H](2+) and the [M+ 3H](3+) ions of NC100692 and the internal standard, which was identical to NC100692 except for containing twice the length of the ethyleneglycol chain. The limit of quantification of the method was 0.5 ng NC100692/ml plasma. The calibration curve ranged from 0.5 to 250 ng NC100692/ml plasma and was fitted to a quadratic equation with a weighing factor of 1/y and found to be highly reproducible. The total precision of the method, expressed as the relative standard error of the mean, was 11.1, 10.8 and 9.7% for the low, medium and high control samples, respectively. The accuracy of the method was 103.4, 111.1 and 107.5% for the low, medium and high control samples, respectively. NC 100692 was stable in human plasma during at least 3 freeze/thaw cycles, during 48 h on dry ice and at least 8 weeks when stored in a -20 degrees C freezer. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Title: Fluxomics: mass spectrometry versus quantitative imaging Source: CURRENT OPINION IN PLANT BIOLOGY, 10 (3): 323-330 JUN 2007 Abstract: The recent development of analytic high-throughput technologies enables us to take a bird's view of how metabolism is regulated in real time. We have known for a long time that metabolism is highly regulated at all levels, including transcriptional, posttranslational and allosteric controls. Flux through a metabolic or signaling pathway is determined by the activity of its individual components. Fluxomics aims to define the genes involved in regulation by following the 最新文献报导 58 XIOPM latest Documents Report flux. Two technologies are used to monitor fluxes. Pulse labeling of the organism or cell with a tracer, such as C-13, followed by mass spectrometric analysis of the partitioning of label into different compounds provides an efficient tool to study flux and to compare the effect of mutations on flux. The second approach is based on the use of flux sensors, proteins that respond with a conformational change to ligand binding. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) detects the conformational change and serves as a proxy for ligand concentration. In contrast to the mass spectrometry assays, FRET nanosensors monitor only a single compound. Both methods provide high time resolution. The major advantages of FRET nanosensors are that they yield data with cellular and subcellular resolution and the method is minimally invasive. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------282 Author(s): Klinkert, I (Klinkert, Ivo); McDonnell, LA (McDonnell, Liam A.); Luxembourg, SL (Luxembourg, Stefan L.); Altelaar, AFM (Altelaar, A.

Title: Tools and strategies for visualization of large image data sets in high-resolution imaging mass spectrometry - art. no. 053716 Source: REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS, 78 (5): 53716-53716 MAY 2007 Abstract: Mass spectrometry based proteomics is one of the scientific domains in which experiments produce a large amount of data that need special environments to interpret the results. Without the use of suitable tools and strategies, the transformation of the large data sets into information is not easily achievable. Therefore, in the context of the virtual laboratory of enhanced science, software tools are developed to handle mass spectrometry data sets. Using different data processing strategies for visualization, it enables fast mass spectrometric imaging of large surfaces at high-spatial resolution and thus aids in the understanding of various diseases and disorders. This article describes how to optimize the handling and processing of the data sets, including the selection of the most optimal data formats and the use of parallel processing. It also describes the tools and solutions and their application in mass spectrometric imaging strategies, including new measurement principles, image enhancement, and image artifact suppression.

Title: Tag-mass: Specific molecular imaging of transcriptome and proteome by mass spectrometry based on photocleavable tag Source: JOURNAL OF PROTEOME RESEARCH, 6 (6): 2057-2067 2007 Abstract: MALDI tissue imaging of tissues has become a promising technique for tracking biomarkers while determining their location and structural characterization. We have now developed specific targeting probes ( oligonucleotides, antibodies), named Tag-Mass. This approach is based on probes modified with a photocleavable linker coupled with a tag cleaved and detected using mass spectrometry. Tag-Mass development is the key for a rapid, sensitive, and accurate approach to correlate levels of expression of different mRNA or proteins in diseases. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------284 Author(s): Palma, CF (Palma, Carolina Font); Evans, GJ (Evans, Greg J.); Sodhi, RNS (Sodhi, Rana N.

The capabilities and limitations of ToF-SIMS were investigated using particles of known composition and size produced by a vibrating orifice aerosol generator (VOAG).

Sample preparation protocols were developed for the sensitive detection of these highly complex endogenous signaling molecules. The neuromodulatory complements of the pericardial organ (PO) and brain of the Jonah crab, Cancer borealis, were mapped. Distributions of peptide isoforms belonging to 10 neuropeptide families were investigated using the IMS technique. Often, neuropeptides of high sequence homology were similarly located. However, two RFamide-family peptides and a truncated orcokinin peptide were mapped to locations distinct from other members of their respective families. Over 30 previously sequenced neuropeptides were identified based on mass measurement. For increased confidence of identification, select peptides were fragmented by post-source decay (PSD) and collisional-induced dissociation (CID). Collectively, this organ-level IMS study elucidates the spatial relationships between multiple neuropeptide isoforms of the same family as well as the relative distributions of neuropeptide families.

This system of coexisting immiscible liquid phases shows cholesterol domains with sizes and shapes comparable to those in the fluorescence microscopy literature. The results show that SM localizes with cholesterol and that palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine is excluded. Moreover, the segregation is not complete, and there is a small amount of both phospholipids distributed throughout. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------287 Author(s): Sherrod, SD (Sherrod, Stacy D.); Castellana, ET (Castellana, Edward T.); McLean, JA (McLean, John A.); Russell, DH (Russell, David H.) Title: Spatially dynamic laser patterning using advanced optics for imaging matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry Source: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY, 262 (3): 256-262 MAY 1 2007 Abstract: Beam homogenization and spatially dynamic beam patterning optics have been combined to improve the imaging matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) experiment. The optical design was developed to improve upon the spatial resolution limit imposed by the laser beam profile (similar to 25-50 mu m) and to decrease the long analysis times associated with mechanical translation of the MALDI sample stage. This arrangement consists of: laser beam conditioning optics, laser beam shaping optics via a digital micromirror device (DMD), and an imaging lens system. Experimental results comparing traditional imaging MALDI-TOFMS and spatially dynamic imaging MALDI-TOFMS are discussed. The optical system has proven useful for patterning the MALDI laser beam into user defined beam shapes, can potentially decrease analysis times associated with mechanical movement of the sample stage, and may be capable of increasing the limits of detection by simultaneously irradiating multiple spots.

To simplify sample preparation and reduce background noise in the low-mass region, we describe here the use of a matrix-free mass spectrometric imaging method, i.e., desorption/ionization on silicon (DIOS), for biological surface analysis. The imaging parameters, such as the laser beam diameter and the translation stage movement, were studied and optimized to improve imaging performance. The use of DIOS imaging to map small molecules on mouse liver tissues was demonstrated. In addition, phosphatidylcholine (PC) and propidium iodide (PI) were used as the cell membrane and nucleus markers, respectively, to "visualize" the presence of HEK 293 cells. The reconstructed ion maps of PC and PI were compared with the optical images collected from the same sample 最新文献报导 60 XIOPM latest Documents Report using bright-field and fluorescence microscopy. A good correlation of the spatial distribution of cells confirmed the validity of this DIOS imaging approach. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------289 Author(s): Ifa, DR (Ifa, D.

Title: Forensic analysis of inks by imaging desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) mass spectrometry Source: ANALYST, 132 (5): 461-467 2007 Abstract: Desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS) is employed in the forensic analysis of documents. Blue ballpoint pen inks applied to ordinary writing paper are examined under ambient conditions without any prior sample preparation. When coupled to an automated moving stage, two-dimensional molecular images are generated. Proof-of-principle experiments include characterization of a simulated forged number and examination of older written records. This application of DESI has advantages over extractive techniques in terms of speed and sample preservation. The effects of the desorbing solvent composition, in this case a mixture of methanol and water, and of flow rate, are evaluated. Results suggest that the solubility of the analyte ( dyes Basic Blue 7, Basic Violet 3 and Solvent Blue 26) plays an important role in desorption from the paper surface. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------290 Author(s): Atkinson, SJ (Atkinson, Sally J.); Loadman, PM (Loadman, Paul M.); Sutton, C (Sutton, Chris); Patterson, LH (Patterson, Laurence H.); Clench, MR (Clench, Malcolm R.) Title: Examination of the distribution of the bioreductive drug AQ4N and its active metabolite AQ4 in solid tumours by imaging matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation mass spectrometry Source: RAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY, 21 (7): 1271-1276 2007 Abstract: AQ4N (banoxatrone) (1,4-bis-{[2-(dimethylamino-N-oxide)ethyl]amino}-5,8-dihydroxyanthracene-9, 10-dione) is an example of a bioreductive prodrug in clinical development. In hypoxic cells AQ4N is reduced to the topoisomerase II inhibitor AQ4 (1,4-bis-{[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl] amino}1-5,8-dilhydroxyanthracene-9,10-dione). By inhibition of topoisomerase 11 within these hypoxic areas, AQ4N has been shown to sensitise tumours to existing chemo- and radiotherapy treatments. In this study the distribution of AQ4N and AQ4 in treated H460 human tumour xenografts has been examined by imaging matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation mass spectrometry. Images of the distribution of AQ4N and AQ4 have been produced that show little overlap. The distribution of ATP in the tumour xenografts was also studied as an endogenous marker of regions of hypoxia since concentrations of ATP are known to be decreased in these regions. The distribution of ATP was similar to that of AQ4N, i.e. in regions of abundant ATP there was no evidence of conversion of AQ4N into AQ4. This indicates that the cytotoxic metabolite AQ4 is confined to hypoxic regions of the tumour as intended. Copyright (c) 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Neither size nor proliferation rate of the Mo/Ma is significantly affected by this labeling. The labeled Mo/Ma have been administered intravenously to rats that had developed a glioma following stereotactic injection of C6 cells. The labeled Mo/Ma were shown to target the brain tumors, a process that could be monitored non-invasively using T-2(*)-weighted MRI. MRI observations were confirmed by Prussian blue staining, lectin staining and fluorescence histology. Overall, the results of this study suggest that the use of Mo/Ma may be envisaged in the clinic for vectorizing therapeutic agents towards gliomas. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc.

Title: Modelling 3D rigid-body object motion and structure estimation with HRR/GMTI measurements Source: IET CONTROL THEORY AND APPLICATIONS, 1 (4): 1023-1032 JUL 2007 最新文献报导 61 XIOPM latest Documents Report Abstract: When traditional single-point target tracking algorithms are directly applied to multiplepoint rigid targets, filter divergence and data association problems occur. By introducing the concepts of global motion, local motion and structure parameters, and employing motion-induced invariants on local motion and structure parameters, we have developed several kinematic and measurement models to simultaneously estimate the motion and structure information of a 3D rigid-body target from high range resolution (HRR) and ground moving target indicator (GMTI) measurements. To test the ability of the proposed modelling methods in handling false alarms, occlusions and HRR measurements without correspondence information, several data association approaches are also proposed, that is permutation, comb ination-perin utation, dummy measurements, and dynamically changing the interested number of scattering centres. Simulation results have shown that the proposed modelling methods can successfully estimate both the motion and structure information of an object by using HRR and GMTI measurements with a proper data association method. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------293 Author(s): Blom, HAP (Blom, Henk A.

Title: Bayesian tracking of two possibly unresolved maneuvering targets Source: IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AEROSPACE AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS, 43 (2): 612-627 APR 2007 Abstract: The paper studies the problem of maintaining tracks of two targets that may maneuver in and out formation flight, whereas the sensor and measurement extraction chain produces false and possibly unresolved or missing measurements. If the possibility of unresolved measurements is not modelled then it is quite likely that either the two tracks coalesce or that one of the two tracks diverges on false measurements. In literature a robust measurement resolution model has been incorporated within an interacting multiple model/multiple hypothesis tracking (IMM/MHT) track maintenance setting. A straightforward incorporation of the same model within an IMM and probabilistic data association (PDA)-like hypothesis merging approach suffers from track coalescence. In order to improve this situation, the paper develops a track-coalescence avoiding hypotheses merging version for the two target problem considered. Through Monte Carlo simulations, the novel filters are compared with applying hypotheses merging approaches that ignore the possibility of unresolved measurements or track-coalescence. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------294 Author(s): Wang, XZ (Wang, Xuezhi); Musicki, D (Musicki, Darko) Title: Low elevation sea-surface target tracking using IPDA type filters Source: IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AEROSPACE AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS, 43 (2): 759-774 APR 2007 Abstract: When detecting a target using radar in the presence of multipath fading, the signal to noise ratio (SNR) at receiver can be dramatically reduced at certain ranges due to multipath signal cancellation, which leads to a significant drop of the detection probability at those ranges. The detection of a low elevation sea-surface target (LESST) is one example. For target tracking, this special case contrasts to the usual situation where we may often assume a constant probability of detection. Automatic target tracking requires a measure of track quality to discriminate between true and false tracks. This track quality measure should take both the existence of target and the SNR of the sensor into account, and be consistent with tracking performance. This paper investigates automatic target tracking using the integrated probabilistic data association (IPDA) type filters in the presence of multipath fading. Several existing single-scan probabilistic data association (PDA)-based filters, which calculate the probabilistic measure of track quality while estimating the track state, are evaluated in the scenario of tracking a nonmaneuvering LESST in the presence of both multipath fading and clutter. In addition, a variable Markov chain (VMC) IPDA tracker (IPDA-VMC), which has joint merits of both IPDA and the IPDA with a three state Markov chain (IPDA-M2), has been designed and evaluated here. In the derivation of track quality measure of both IPDA-M2 and IPDA-VMC, the possibility that a target is present but is temporarily unable to be detected has been explicitly considered. A tracker using this track quality measure for false track discrimination has significantly improved LESST tracking performance. A simulation study verifies that both lPDA-M2 and IPDA-VMC have better capability to handle the LESST tracks and have an improved tracking performance over other PDA-based tracking algorithms under consideration. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------295 Author(s): McClelland, JR (McClelland, J.

Title: Tracking 'differential organ motion' with a 'breathing' multileaf collimator: magnitude of problem assessed using 4D CT data and a motion-compensation strategy Source: PHYSICS IN MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY, 52 (16): 4805-4826 AUG 21 2007 Abstract: 最新文献报导 62 XIOPM latest Documents Report Intrafraction tumour ( e. g. lung) motion due to breathing can, in principle, be compensated for by applying identical breathing motions to the leaves of a multileaf collimator (MLC) as intensity-modulated radiation therapy is delivered by the dynamic MLC (DMLC) technique. A difficulty arising, however, is that irradiated voxels, which are in line with a bixel at one breathing phase ( at which the treatment plan has been made), may move such that they cease to be in line with that breathing bixel at another phase. This is the phenomenon of differential voxel motion and existing tracking solutions have ignored this very real problem. There is absolutely no tracking solution to the problem of compensating for differential voxel motion. However, there is a strategy that can be applied in which the leaf breathing is determined to minimize the geometrical mismatch in a least-squares sense in irradiating differentially-moving voxels. A 1D formulation in very restricted circumstances is already in the literature and has been applied to some model breathing situations which can be studied analytically. These are, however, highly artificial. This paper presents the general 2D formulation of the problem including allowing different importance factors to be applied to planning target volume and organ at risk ( or most generally) each voxel. The strategy also extends the literature strategy to the situation where the number of voxels connecting to a bixel is a variable. Additionally the phenomenon of cross-leaf-track/ channel' voxel motion is formally addressed. The general equations are presented and analytic results are given for some 1D, artificially contrived, motions based on the Lujan equations of breathing motion. Further to this, 3D clinical voxel motion data have been extracted from 4D CT measurements to both assess the magnitude of the problem of 2D motion perpendicular to the beam-delivery axis in clinical practice and also to find the 2D optimum breathing-leaf strategy. Issues relating to the practical calculation of the strategy, including effects on leaf velocity and effects of different spatial-sampling frequencies, have been investigated, and unattenuated-fluence maps have been produced showing the effects of the differential motion and tracking. It was discovered that large distances between adjacent leaf-ends could cause the tracking to fail when there was tissue motion across the leaf channels. To overcome this problem the use of 'synchronized' leaf trajectories, which ensure that adjacent leaf-ends are always close enough to each other to facilitate tracking, has also been investigated. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------296 Author(s): Xu, QY (Xu, Qianyi); Hamilton, RJ (Hamilton, Russell J.); Schowengerdt, RA (Schowengerdt, Robert A.); Jiang, SB (Jiang, Steve B.) Title: A deformable lung tumor tracking method in fluoroscopic video using active shape models: a feasibility study Source: PHYSICS IN MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY, 52 (17): 5277-5293 SEP 7 2007 Abstract: A dynamic multi-leaf collimator (DMLC) can be used to track a moving target during radiotherapy. One of the major benefits for DMLC tumor tracking is that, in addition to the compensation for tumor translational motion, DMLC can also change the aperture shape to conform to a deforming tumor projection in the beam's eye view. This paper presents a method that can track a deforming lung tumor in fluoroscopic video using active shape models (ASM) (Cootes et al 1995 Comput. Vis. Image Underst. 61 38-59). The method was evaluated by comparing tracking results against tumor projection contours manually edited by an expert observer. The evaluation shows the feasibility of using this method for precise tracking of lung tumors with deformation, which is important for DMLC-based real-time tumor tracking. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------297 Author(s): Zhang, WH (Zhang, Weihong) Title: A Probabilistic approach to tracking moving targets with distributed sensors Source: IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SYSTEMS MAN AND CYBERNETICS PART A-SYSTEMS AND HUMANS, 37 (5): 721-731 SEP 2007 Abstract: Tracking a moving target is a difficult task in a distributed sensor network due to the lack of knowledge of the target's motion and signal noises. Several existing approaches use only sensory information or may require accurate target's motion models. In this paper, we present a Markovian approach that combines dynamically estimated target's motion models with received sensory information. The approach localizes a target by using the estimated motion models and the provided sensory model. We characterize probabilistic conditions under which the estimation accuracy increases if more sensors are used, and the estimations converge to the target's real position asymptotically. Our experimental analysis shows that our approach leads to substantially more accurate and robust location estimations than the previous approaches using only sensory information, and it is competitive with the standard Markov localization approach. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------298 Author(s): Fang, TH (Fang, Tae Hyun); Choi, JW (Choi, Jae Weon) Title: Tracking error performance of tracking filters based on IMM for threatening target to navel vessel Source: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CONTROL AUTOMATION AND SYSTEMS, 5 (4): 456-462 AUG 2007 Abstract: 最新文献报导 63 XIOPM latest Documents Report Tracking error performance is investigated for the typical maneuvering pattern of the anti-ship missile for tracking filters based on IMM filter in both clear and cluttered environments. Threatening targets to a navel vessel can be categorized into having three kinds of maneuvering patterns such as Waver, Pop-Up, and High-Diver maneuvers, which are classified according to launching platform or acceleration input to be applied. In this paper, the tracking errors for three kinds of maneuvering targets are represented and are investigated through simulation results. Studying estimation errors for each maneuvering target allows us to have insight into the most threatening maneuvering pattern and to construct the test maneuvering scenario for radar system validation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------299 Author(s): Ristic, B (Ristic, B.); Morelande, M (Morelande, M.) Title: Comments on 'Cramer-Rao lower bound for tracking multiple targets' Source: IET RADAR SONAR AND NAVIGATION, 1 (1): 74-76 FEB 2007 Abstract: In a recent paper, Ristic et al... 2004, proposed a simple and exact derivation of the theoretical Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) for tracking multiple targets using intensity maps as measurements. Although the formulation and the theoretical derivations presented in their work are indeed correct, the analysis of the proposed bound and the conclusions that follow are wrong. Here, a correct analysis is presented with the key observation that [as opposed to the claim made in the work of Ristic et al. (2004)], the proposed CRLB reflects the interaction between the targets, even if their motion is independent. The multi-target CRLB is also compared with the error performance of a multi-target state maximum likelihood estimator; a remarkable agreement is observed for high signal-to-noise ratio. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------300 Author(s): McMahona, R (McMahona, Ryan); Papiez, L (Papiez, Lech); Rangaraj, D (Rangaraj, Dharanipathy) Title: Dynamic-MLC leaf control utilizing on-flight intensity calculations: A robust method for real-time IMRT delivery over moving rigid targets Source: MEDICAL PHYSICS, 34 (8): 3211-3223 AUG 2007 Abstract: An algorithm is presented that allows for the control of multileaf collimation (MLQ leaves based entirely on real-time calculations of the intensity delivered over the target. The algorithm is capable of efficiently correcting generalized delivery errors without requiring the interruption of delivery (self-correcting trajectories), where a generalized delivery error represents anything that causes a discrepancy between the delivered and intended intensity profiles. The intensity actually delivered over the target is continually compared to its intended value. For each pair of leaves, these comparisons are used to guide the control of the following leaf and keep this discrepancy below a user-specified value. To demonstrate the basic principles of the algorithm, results of corrected delivery are shown for a leading leaf positional error during dynamic-MLC (DMLQ IMRT delivery over a rigid moving target. It is then shown that, with slight modifications, the algorithm can be used to track moving targets in real time. The primary results of this article indicate that the algorithm is capable of accurately delivering DMLC IMRT over a rigid moving target whose motion is (1) completely unknown prior to delivery and (2) not faster than the maximum MLC leaf velocity over extended periods of time. These capabilities are demonstrated for clinically derived intensity profiles and actual tumor motion data, including situations when the target moves in some instances faster than the maximum admissible MLC leaf velocity. The results show that using the algorithm while calculating the delivered intensity every 50 ms will provide a good level of accuracy when delivering IMRT over a rigid moving target translating along the direction of MLC leaf travel. When the maximum velocities of the MLC leaves and target were 4 and 4.2 cm/s, respectively, the resulting error in the two intensity profiles used was 0. 1 +/- 3. 1 % and -0.5 +/- 2.8% relative to the maximum of the intensity profiles. For the same target motion, the error was shown to increase rapidly as (1) the maximum MLC leaf velocity was reduced below 75% of the maximum target velocity and (2) the system response time was increased.

Title: Fatigue-induced changes of impedance and performance in target tracking Source: EXPERIMENTAL BRAIN RESEARCH, 181 (1): 99-108 JUL 2007 Abstract: Kinematic variability is caused, in part, by force fluctuations. It has been shown empirically and numerically that the effects of force fluctuations on kinematics can be suppressed by increasing joint impedance. Given that force variability increases with muscular fatigue, we hypothesized that joint impedance would increase with fatigue to retain a prescribed accuracy level. To test this hypothesis, subjects tracked a target by elbow flexion and extension both with fatigued and unfatigued elbow flexor and extensor muscles. Joint impedance was estimated from controlled perturbations to the elbow. Contrary to the hypothesis, elbow impedance decreased, whereas performance, expressed as the time-on-target, 最新文献报导 64 XIOPM latest Documents Report was unaffected by fatigue. Further analysis of the data revealed that subjects changed their control strategy with increasing fatigue. Although their overall kinematic variability increased, task performance was retained by staying closer to the center of the target when fatigued. In conclusion, the present study reveals a limitation of impedance modulation in the control of movement variability. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------302 Author(s): Wang, FL (Wang, Fanglin); Liu, EQ (Liu, Erqi); Yang, J (Yang, Jie); Liu, RM (Liu, Ruiming) Title: Target tracking based on a hybrid tracker with two hierarchical appearance models Source: MEASUREMENT SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, 18 (8): 2546-2554 AUG 2007 Abstract: In this paper, a hybrid target tracking algorithm is proposed based on two hierarchical appearance models. First, the colour histogram is utilized to roughly localize the object by a mean shift procedure. Then, a more precise eigenspace appearance model was invoked to infer the final state of the object within a particle filter framework. To deal with the sudden illumination change, the histogram equalization algorithm was also used to prevent the eigenspace model from being incorrectly distracted. Moreover, a mean shift algorithm in affine space was designed to address the affine deformation of the tracked object. Numerous experiments show that the proposed algorithm performs well in the presence of significant appearance change, large illumination variations and partial occlusions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------303 Author(s): Stepanyan, V (Stepanyan, Vahram); Hovakimyan, N (Hovakimyan, Naira) Title: Adaptive disturbance rejection controller for visual tracking of a maneuvering target Source: JOURNAL OF GUIDANCE CONTROL AND DYNAMICS, 30 (4): 1090-1106 JUL-AUG 2007 Abstract: This paper presents an adaptive disturbance rejection control architecture for a flying vehicle to track a maneuvering target using a monocular camera as a visual sensor. Viewing the target's velocity as a time-varying disturbance, the change in magnitude of which has a bounded integral, a guidance law is derived that guarantees asymptotic tracking of the target in the presence of measurement noise and an intelligent excitation signal in the reference input. Implementation of the guidance law is done via conventional adaptive block backstepping. Simulations illustrate the benefits of the method. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------304 Author(s): Yu, KN (Yu, Kyeong Nam); Lee, SM (Lee, Sang-Myung); Han, JY (Han, Ji Yun); Park, H (Park, Hyunmi); Woo, MA (Woo, Min-Ah); Noh, MS (Noh, Mi Suk); Hwang, SK (Hwang, Soon-Kyung); Kwon, JT (Kwon, Jung-Taek); Jin, H (Jin, Hua); Kim, YK (Kim, Yong-Kweon); Hergenrother, PJ (Hergenrother, Paul J.); Jeong, DH (Jeong, Dae Hong); Lee, YS (Lee, Yoon-Sik); Cho, MH (Cho, Myung-Haing) Title: Multiplex targeting, tracking, and imaging of apoptosis by fluorescent surface enhanced raman spectroscopic dots Source: BIOCONJUGATE CHEMISTRY, 18 (4): 1155-1162 JUL-AUG 2007 Abstract: We have developed multifunctional fluorescent surface enhanced Raman spectroscopic tagging material (F-SERS dots) composed of silver nanoparticle-embedded silica spheres with fluorescent organic dye and specific Raman labels for multiplex targeting, tracking, and imaging of cellular/molecular events in the living organism. In this study, F-SERS dots fabricated with specific target antibodies (BAX and BAD) were employed for the detection of apoptosis. The FSERS dots did not show any particular toxicity in several cell lines. The F-SERS dots could monitor the apoptosis effectively and simultaneously through fluorescent images as well as Raman signals in both cells and tissues with high selectivity. Our results clearly demonstrate that F-SERS dots can be easily applicable to multiplex analysis of diverse cellular/molecular events important for maintaining cellular homeostasis. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------305 Author(s): Adam, T (Adam, T.); Baussan, E (Baussan, E.); Borer, K (Borer, K.); Campagne, JE (Campagne, J-E.); Chon-Sen, N (Chon-Sen, N.); de la Taille, C (de la Taille, C.); Dick, N (Dick, N.); Dracos, M (Dracos, M.); Gaudiot, G (Gaudiot, G.); Goeltzenlichter, T (Goeltzenlichter, T.); Gornushkin, Y (Gornushkin, Y.); Grapton, JN (Grapton, J-N.); Guyonnet, JL (Guyonnet, J-L.); Hess, M (Hess, M.); Igersheim, R (Igersheim, R.); Csathy, JJ (Csathy, J.

The technology used consists in walls of two planes of plastic scintillator strips, one per transverse direction. Wavelength shifting fibres collect the light signal emitted by the scintillator strips and guide it to both ends where it is read by multi-anode photomultiplier tubes. All the elements used in the construction of this detector and its main characteristics are described. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The tunable laser consists of a nanosecond pulsed Nd-YAG laser and an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) crystal. The fluorescence spectra and images were measured at various excitation wavelengths in the ultraviolet region by the time-resolved fluorescence method. We have previously reported that a typical fluorescence spectrum of fingerprints consists of two peaks located at c. 330 and 440 nm. In order to determine the wavelength of optimal excitation, excitation spectra were measured at wavelengths ranging from 220 to 310 nm. The fluorescence intensity of the 330 nm peak became maximal with excitation at 280 nm. The images of latent fingerprints on white papers were also measured and the clearest image was obtained with excitation at 280 nm. The influence of continuous irradiation on the fluorescence of fingerprints was measured at the optimal excitation wavelengths. The 330 nm peak was strong at first and decreased with continuous irradiation, whereas the 440 nm peak, which was weak at first, increased gradually. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------309 Author(s): Casado-Terrones, S (Casado-Terrones, Silvia); Segura-Carretero, A (Segura-Carretero, Antonio); Busi, S (Busi, Simone); Dinelli, G (Dinelli, Giovanni); Fernandez-Gutierrez, A (Fernandez-Gutierrez, Alberto) 最新文献报导 66 XIOPM latest Documents Report Title: Determination of tetracycline residues in honey by CZE with ultraviolet absorbance detection Source: ELECTROPHORESIS, 28 (16): 2882-2887 AUG 2007 Abstract: We have developed a sensitive CE method to determine eight tetracyclines (TCs) (chlortetracycline, demeclocycline, doxycycline, methacycline, minocycline, oxytetracycline, TC, and rolitetracycline (RTC)) in honey samples.

Title: High response organic visible-blind ultraviolet detector - art. no. 093516 Source: APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS, 91 (9): 93516-93516 AUG 27 2007 Abstract: The authors demonstrate a high efficiency visible-blind ultraviolet organic photodetector with a response of 30 mA/W. The active layer is a blend of N,N'-diphenyl-N, N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-(1,1'-biphenyl)-4,4'-diamine (TPD) and tris(8hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq(3)). The authors show that the spontaneous as well as the electric field induced carrier generation efficiencies in the blend are enhanced over its constituents. The spontaneous carrier generation efficiency measured from total carrier collection measurements is 30% in the blend. The photoluminescence of the blend shows an efficient energy transfer from the TPD to Alq3 molecule. The mobility-lifetime (mu tau) product in the blend is 2.2x10(-12)cm(2)/V. The mu tau product is weakly dependent on temperature.

Different analytical methods used for standardization of the bilberry extracts and their preparations are available from pharmacopeias and from the literature. However, the methods reported in the literature do not allow the detection of free anthocyanidins, which are markers of poor product quality. A new liquid chromatography method was developed and validated for the identification and quantification of both anthocyanins and anthocyanidins present in bilberry extracts and products. The method shows a good reproducibility and, due to its high specificity, is suitable to identify unequivocally the botanical raw materials used for manufacturing and to evaluate the extract composition, thus ensuring a high degree of product consistency and quality. Forty typical bilberry preparations belonging to 24 different brands were purchased in the marketplace and evaluated for their quality by using the developed method. Results revealed marked differences among the brands despite a common origin and labeling. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------312 Author(s): Harata, A (Harata, Akira); Matuda, T (Matuda, Takashi); Hirashima, S (Hirashima, Satoshi) Title: Ultraviolet-laser excitation microscopic photothermal lens Imaging for observing biological cells Source: JAPANESE JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS PART 1-REGULAR PAPERS BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS & REVIEW PAPERS, 46 (7B): 4561-4563 JUL 2007 Abstract: An ultraviolet-laser excitation microscopic photothermal lens imaging system for observing chemical compounds in biological cells has been designed and constructed, in which a reflection objective lens is used for focusing an excitation laser beam at 261 nm and a probe laser beam at 784 nm.

Photoconductor devices with Al/Ti Ohmic contacts were fabricated. Photoluminescence and photocurrent measurements were carried out to study the emission and absorption properties of the Ga-doped ZnO film. Both spectra are consistent with each other showing good response in the ultraviolet region and weak response in the green-yellow band. Peak responsivity of 1.68 A/W at 20 V bias for 374 nm light was obtained in the ultraviolet region. Transient response of the device is slow due to the presence of the deep levels.

Title: Exposing water samples to ultraviolet light improves fluorometry for detecting human fecal contamination Source: WATER RESEARCH, 41 (16): 3629-3642 AUG 2007 Abstract: Fluorometry identifies human fecal contamination by detecting optical brighteners in environmental waters. Because optical brighteners are sensitive to sunlight, we determined if we could improve fluorometry by exposing water samples to ultraviolet (UV) light to differentiate between optical brighteners and other fluorescing organic compounds. Optical brighteners were likely present when the relative percentage difference in fluorometric value of the water before and after UV light exposure was > 30% (glass cuvettes, 30 min exposure) or > 15% (polymethacrylate cuvettes, 5 min exposure). in a blind study, we correctly identified the presence or absence of optical brighteners in 178 of 180 (99%) of the samples tested with a more expensive field fluorometer and in 175 of 180 (97%) of the samples tested with a less expensive handheld fluorometer. In the field, the method correctly identified two negative and three positive locations for human fecal contamination. When combined with counts of fecal bacteria, the new fluorometric method may be a simple, quick, and easy way to identify human fecal contamination in environmental waters. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

Following a two-step liquidliquid extraction with diethyl ether, the analyte and internal standard (maprotiline) were separated using an isocratic mobile phase of acetonitrile/phosphate buffer (39/61, v/v, pH 6.6) on a reverse phase Inertsil C-18 column. Linearity was verified over the range of 3.12-200 ng/mL atomoxetinein plasma. The lowest limit of detection is 2.5 ng/mL (S/N = 10). This HPLC method was validated with within- and between-batch precisions of 4.9-14.4% and 4.7-13.1 %, respectively. The within-and between-batch biases were -1.9 to 1.4% and 0.1-13.8%, respectively. Commonly used psychotropic drugs and frequently coadministered drugs did not interfere with the,drug and internal standard. This method is simple, economical and specific, and has been used successfully in a pharmacokinetic study of atomoxetine. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

The plasma proteins were precipitated with acetonitrile and supernatant was evaporated to dryness. The analytes and internal standard baicalin were chromatographed on a Cls column. The mobile phase consisted of 25% acetonitrile and 75% H2O adjusted with formic acid to pH 3.5. The flow-rate was 1.0 ml/min and ultraviolet detection was set at 320 nm. Standard curves were linear over the concentration range of 0.04-40 mu g/ml for TRG and TRN, and 0.04-10 mu g/ml for TR, respectively. The precision, expressed as the intra-day R.S.D. and inter-day R.S.D., was below 9.3% for TRG, TRN and TR. The accuracy, expressed as the relative error (RE) was within 7.4% for all analytes.

However, low clinical response rate, resistance, and host toxicity of currently available EGFR-TK inhibitors prompt the development of second generation of TK inhibitors with improved efficacy, selectivity, and less resistance. CH330331 is a recently synthesized novel 4anilinoquinazoline analog with confirmed anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo. To predict its oral pharmacokinetic behavior and transport nature in the intestine before entering clinical trials, we have developed and validated a high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the determination of CH330331 in Caco-2 (a human colon cancer cell line) monolayers. The developed HPLC method was sensitive and reliable, with acceptable accuracy (90110% of nominal values) and precision (intra- and inter-assay R.S.D. < 10%). The total running time was within 10 min, with acceptable separation of the target analytes. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) value for CH330331 was 200 ng/ml when an aliquot of 100 mu l sample was injected onto the HPLC. The validated HPLC method was applied to characterize the epithelial transport of CH330331 in Caco-2 monolayers. The transport of CH330331 across the Caco-2 monolayers from the apical to basolateral side was 8- to 10-fold higher than that from the basolateral to apical side. Coincubation of sodium azide or MK-571, but not verapamil, significantly inhibited the apical to basolateral transport of CH330331. These findings provide initial evidence that the intestinal absorption of CH330331 is mediated by an active mechanism. Further studies are required to explore the interaction of CH330331 with ATP-binding cassette transporters and the possible influence on its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.

In February 2006, the magnetic resonance/x-ray/operating room (MRXO) suite opened at the authors' institution. This is the first hybrid neurosurgical procedure suite to combine magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, computed tomography (CT), and angiography within a neurosurgical operating room (OR). In the present paper the authors describe the concept of the MRXO as well as their first 10 months of experience using this suite, and discuss its advantages and limitations. 最新文献报导 69 XIOPM latest Documents Report Methods. In the MRXO suite, the combined OR and angiography (OR-angiography) station is located in the middle of the suite, and the MR imaging and CT scanning stations are each installed in an adjoining bay connected to the ORangiography station by shielded sliding doors. The surgical, MR imaging, angiography, and CT tables are positioned in order of use. The patient lies on a fully MR imaging- and radiography-compatible mobile patient tabletop that is used to move the patient quickly and safely among the tables in the imaging and operating components of the MRXO suite. Results. The authors performed all interventional procedures safely. The specially designed operating tabletop of the MRXO suite reduced the limitations on neurosurgeons during standard neurosurgical procedures. This hybrid suite helps to provide high-quality intraoperative imaging, greatly reducing the risk of unexpected events during the procedure. Conclusions. The MRXO suite, which combines OR and imaging equipment, represents a significant milestone in the improvement of neurosurgical diagnosis and treatment and other interventional procedures. Another advantage of the MRXO suite is its cost-effectiveness, which is partly due to its streamlined imaging procedure. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------320 Author(s): Gonzalez, L (Gonzalez, L.); Moro, J (Moro, J.) Title: Patient radiation dose management in dental facilities according to the X-ray focal distance and the image receptor type Source: DENTOMAXILLOFACIAL RADIOLOGY, 36 (5): 282-284 JUL 2007 Abstract: Objectives: To determine particular reference values for patient radiation dose management according to the focus-toskin distance and the image receptor type. Methods: Air-free ionization chambers and solid state detectors built in quality control devices were used to measure Xray tube output in a sample of 2811 X-ray units. The mean exposure time was estimated by the local person responsible for the quality assurance programme. From this data, mean air kerma values were calculated at the focus-to-skin distance. To obtain the entrance surface air dose, a backscatter factor of 1.2 was used. Results: Third-quartile values were 5.3 mGy for old X-ray sets with around 10 cm focus-to-skin distance (FSD); for 20 cm FSD, the values were 4.1 mGy for D type, 3.4 mGy for E/F film type and 1.2 mGy for digital image receptors; and for 30 cm FSD the values were 2.1 mGy for D type, 1.8 mGy for E/F film type and 0.6 mGy for digital image receptors. Conclusions: Evidence based on third-quartile values different from those expected justifies the need for particular reference values taking into account image system and focal distance, as a way to improve patient radiation dose management. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------321 Author(s): Feldkamp, JM (Feldkamp, J.

Title: Compact x-ray microtomography system for element mapping and absorption imaging - art. no. 073702 Source: REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS, 78 (7): 73702-73702 JUL 2007 Abstract: We have designed and built a compact x-ray microtomography system to perform element mapping and absorption imaging by exploiting scanning fluorescence tomography and full-field transmission microtomography, respectively. It is based on a low power microfocus tube and is potentially appropriate for x-ray diagnostics in space. Full-field transmission tomography yields the three-dimensional inner structure of an object. Fluorescence microtomography provides the element distribution on a virtual section through the sample. Both techniques can be combined for appropriate samples. Microradiography as well as fluorescence mapping are also possible. For fluorescence microtomography a small and intensive microbeam is required. It is generated using a polycapillary optic. Operating the microfocus tube with a molybdenum target at 12 W, a microbeam with a full width at half maximum lateral extension of 16 mu m and a flux of about 10(8) photons/s is generated. As an example of application, this beam is used to determine the element distribution inside dried plant samples. For full-field scanning tomography, the x-ray optic is removed and the sample is imaged in magnifying projection onto a two-dimensional position sensitive detector. Depending on the sample size, a spatial resolution down to about 10 mu m is possible in this mode. The method is demonstrated by threedimensional imaging of a rat humerus.

White x rays from a bending magnet were used to excite x-ray fluorescence and to enhance the x-ray fluorescence intensity. A photon-counting method using a charge-coupled device was applied to obtain an x-ray fluorescence spectrum at the image plane. The spatial distributions of some specific atoms such as Fe and Zn were obtained from photon-counting calculations. An energy resolution of 220 eV at the Fe K alpha line was obtained from the x-ray fluorescence spectrum by the photon-counting method. The newly developed three-dimensional element mappings of the specific atoms were accomplished by the photon-counting method and a reconstruction technique using computed tomography.

Title: Early experience in the use of quantitative image quality measurements for the quality assurance of full field digital mammography x-ray systems Source: PHYSICS IN MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY, 52 (18): 5545-5568 SEP 21 2007 Abstract: Quantitative image quality results in the form of the modulation transfer function (MTF), normalized noise power spectrum (NNPS) and detective quantum efficiency (DQE) are presented for nine full field digital mammography (FFDM) systems. These parameters are routinely measured as part of the quality assurance (QA) programme for the seven FFDM units covered by our centre. Just one additional image is required compared to the standard FFDM protocol; this is the image of an edge, from which the MTF is calculated. A variance image is formed from one of the flood images used to measure the detector response and this provides useful information on the condition of the detector with respect to artefacts. Finally, the NNPS is calculated from the flood image acquired at a target detector air kerma (DAK) of 100 mu Gy. DQE is then estimated from these data; however, no correction is currently made for effects of detector cover transmission on DQE. The coefficient of variation (cov) of the 50% point of the MTF for five successive MTF results was 1%, while the cov for the 50% MTF point for an a-Se system over a period of 17 months was approximately 3%. For four a-Se based systems, the cov for the NNPS at 1 mm(-1) for a target DAK of 100 mu Gy was approximately 4%; the same result was found for four CsI based FFDM units. With regard to the stability of NNPS over time, the cov for four NNPS results acquired over a period of 12 months was also approximately 4%. The effect of acquisition geometry on NNPS was also assessed for a CsI based system. NNPS data acquired with the antiscatter grid in place showed increased noise at low spatial frequency; this effect was more severe as DAK increased. DQE results for the three detector types (a-Se, CsI and CR) are presented as a function of DAK. Some reduction in DQE was found for both the a-Se and CsI based systems at a target DAK of 12.5 mu Gy when compared to DQE data acquired at 100 mu Gy. For the CsI based systems, DQE at 1 mm(-1) fell from 0.49 at 100 mu Gy to 0.38 at 12.5 mu Gy. For the a-Se units, there was a slightly greater reduction in average DQE at 1 mm(-1), from 0.53 at 100 mu Gy to 0.31 at 12.5 mu Gy. Somewhat different behaviour was seen for the CR unit; DQE (at 1 mm(-1)) increased from 0.40 at 100 mu Gy to 0.49 at 12.5 mu Gy; however, DQE fell to 0.30 at 420 mu Gy. DQE stability over time was assessed using the cov of DQE at 1 mm(-1) and a target DAK of 100 mu Gy; the cov for data acquired over a period of 17 months for an a-Se system was approximately 7%. For comparison with conventional testing methods, the cov was calculated for contrast-detail (cd) data acquired over the same period of time for this unit. The cov for the threshold contrast results (averaged for disc diameters between 0.1 mm and 2 mm) was 6%, indicating similar stability. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------324 Author(s): Huang, ZF (Huang, Zhifeng); Kang, KJ (Kang, Kejun); Yang, YG (Yang, Yigang) Title: Extraction methods of phase information for X-ray diffraction enhanced imaging Source: NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS & METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH SECTION A-ACCELERATORS SPECTROMETERS DETECTORS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT, 579 (1): 218-222 AUG 21 2007 Abstract: X-ray diffraction enhanced imaging (DEI) is one of X-ray phase-contrast imaging methods, which is applied to inspect internal structures of weakly absorbing low-Z samples. The key problem of the DEI is how to extract phase information which is expressed by refraction-angle images from a series of DEI images measured in different positions of the rocking curve of the analyzer. Three effective extraction methods are presented in this paper: the statistical geometricoptics-approximation method, the maximum refraction-angle method and the Gaussian curve fitting method. They are compared with the existing methods, such as the D. Chapman's geometric optics approximation method and the multiple-images statistical method. A 2D computer simulation experiment is performed to draw comparisons of these methods. The experimental results prove that the above three methods have more precision of refraction-angle values than existing methods. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

It consists of a commercially available CMOS photosensor of a 35 x 35 mu m(2) pixel size and a 688 x 910 pixel array dimension, and a high-efficiency columnar CsI(Tl) scintillator of a 90 mu m thickness directly deposited on a fiber-optic faceplate of a 6 mu m core size and an 1.46 mm thickness with 85/15 corecladding ratio (NA similar to 1.0 in air). The fiber-optic faceplate is a highly X-ray attenuating material that minimizes X-ray absorption on the end CMOS photosensor array, thus, minimizing X-ray induced noise at the pholosensor array. It uses a high light-output columnar CsI(Tl) scintillator with a peak spectral emission at 545 nm, giving better spatial resolution, but attenuates some of this light due to interfacial and optical attenuation factors. In this paper, we presented the performance analysis of the intraoral imaging device with experimental measurements and acquired X-ray images in terms of modulation transfer function (MTF), noise power spectrum (NPS), and detective quantum efficiency (DQE).

Title: A comparison of 2D vs. 3D thresholding of X-ray CT imagery Source: CANADIAN JOURNAL OF SOIL SCIENCE, 87 (4): 405-412 AUG 2007 Abstract: Non-destructive soil constituent analysis has advanced from resin impregnation of intact samples to the utilization of non-destructive imaging devices (i.e., CT scanners) for 3D composition. A difficulty of CT scanning is the finite resolution of such devices and the resulting non-definitive boundaries. Isolation of voxels that contain a single constituent (i.e., low variance voxels) allows for improved segregation of 3D data by histogram thresholding. The results from proposed 2D and 3D low variance voxel segmentation techniques were compared to establish whether or not 3D consideration should be used when analyzing CT and intact soil columns. It was determined that 2D processing in single orientation and as a multiplicative orthogonal process produced dissimilar results to 3D processed data. The authors encourage further exploration of 3D investigation in soil science, particularly related to soil composition and arrangement. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------328 Author(s): Newman, CR; Sirringhaus, H; Blakesley, JC; Speller, R Title: Stability of polymeric thin film transistors for x-ray imaging applications Source: APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS, eFIRST Abstract: The effects of x-ray irradiation on the electrical performance of organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) have been examined up to equivalent lifetime doses for medical digital x-ray imaging backplanes. Transistor performance metrics have been assessed before and after exposures up to 500 Gy for bottom-gate, bottom-contact OTFTs of p-channel polytriarylamine and polyfluorene semiconductors. There is no discernible degradation in device performance for either material and no indication of the creation of additional trap states. In situ measurements indicate that x-ray exposure tends to reverse undesirable shifts in the threshold voltage due to prolonged atmospheric exposure and bias stress. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------329 Author(s): Betz, O (Betz, Oliver); Wegst, U (Wegst, Ulrike); Weide, D (Weide, Daniela); Heethoff, M (Heethoff, Michael); Helfen, L (Helfen, Lukas); Lee, WK (Lee, Wah-Keat); Cloetens, P (Cloetens, Peter) 最新文献报导 72 XIOPM latest Documents Report Title: Imaging applications of synchrotron X-ray phase-contrast microtomography in biological morphology and biomaterials science. 1. General aspects of the technique and its advantages in the analysis of millimetre-sized arthropod structure Source: JOURNAL OF MICROSCOPY-OXFORD, 227 (1): 51-71 JUL 2007 Abstract: Synchrotron-generated X-rays provide scientists with a multitude of investigative techniques well suited for the analysis of the composition and structure of all types of materials and specimens. Here, we describe the properties of synchrotron-generated X-rays and the advantages that they provide for qualitative morphological research of millimetresized biological organisms and biomaterials. Case studies of the anatomy of insect heads, of whole microarthropods and of the three-dimensional reconstruction of the cuticular tendons of jumping beetles, all performed at the beamline fl)19 of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). are presented to illustrate the techniques of phase-contrast tomography available for anatomical and structural investigations. Various sample preparation techniques are described and compared and experimental settings that we have found to be particularly successful are given. On comparing the strengths and weaknesses of the technique with traditional histological thin sectioning, we conclude that synchrotron radiation microtomography has a great potential in biological microanatomy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------330 Author(s): Roessl, E (Roessl, E.); Proksa, R (Proksa, R.) Title: K-edge imaging in x-ray computed tomography using multi-bin photon counting detectors Source: PHYSICS IN MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY, 52 (15): 4679-4696 AUG 7 2007 Abstract: After passage through matter, the energy spectrum of a polychromatic beam of x-rays contains valuable information about the elemental composition of the absorber. Conventional x-ray systems or x-ray computed tomography (CT) systems, equipped with scintillator detectors operated in the integrating mode, are largely insensitive to this type of spectral information, since the detector output is proportional to the energy fluence integrated over the whole spectrum. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate to which extent energysensitive photon counting devices, operated in the pulse-mode, are capable of revealing quantitative information about the elemental composition of the absorber. We focus on the detection of element-specific, K-edge discontinuities of the photo-electric cross-section. To be specific, we address the question of measuring and imaging the local density of a gadolinium-based contrast agent, in the framework of a generalized dual-energy pre-processing. Our results are very promising and seem to open up new possibilities for the imaging of the distribution of elements with a high atomic number Z in the human body using x-ray attenuation measurements. To demonstrate the usefulness of the detection and the appropriate processing of the spectral information, we present simulated images of an artherosclerotic coronary vessel filled with gadolinium-based contrast agent. While conventional systems, equipped with integrating detectors, often fail to differentiate between contrast filled lumen and artherosclerotic plaque, the use of an energy-selective detection system based on the counting of individual photons reveals a strong contrast between plaque and contrast agent. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------331 Author(s): Fetterly, KA (Fetterly, Kenneth A.); Schueler, BA (Schueler, Beth A.) Title: Experimental evaluation of fiber-interspaced antiscatter grids for large patient imaging with digital x-ray systems Source: PHYSICS IN MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY, 52 (16): 4863-4880 AUG 21 2007 Abstract: Radiographic imaging of large patients is compromised by x-ray scatter. Optimization of digital x-ray imaging systems used for projection radiography requires the use of the best possible antiscatter grid. The performance of antiscatter grids used in conjunction with digital x- ray imaging systems can be characterized through measurement of the signalto-noise ratio (SNR) improvement factor (KSNR). The SNR improvement factor of several linear, focused antiscatter grids was determined from measurements of the fundamental primary and scatter transmission fraction measurements of the grids as well as the inherent scatter-to-primary ratio (SPR) of the x- ray beam and scatter phantom. The inherent SPR and scatter transmission fraction was measured using a graduated lead beam stop method. The KSNR of eight grids with line rates (N) in the range 40 to 80 cm(-1) and ratios ( r) in the range 8: 1 to 15: 1 was measured. All of the grids had fiber interspace material and carbon-fiber covers. The scatter phantom used was Solid Water ((R)) with thickness 10 to 50 cm, and a 30 x 30 cm(2) field of view was used. All measurements were acquired using a 104 kVp x- ray beam. The SPR of the non-grid imaging condition ranged from 2.55 for the 10 cm phantom to 25.9 for the 50 cm phantom. The scatter transmission fractions ranged from a low of 0.083 for the N50 r15 grid to a high of 0.22 for the N40 r8 grid and the primary transmission fractions ranged from a low of 0.69 for the N80 r15 grid to 0.76 for the N40 r8 grid. The SNR improvement factors ranged from 1.2 for the 10 cm phantom and N40 r8 grid to 2.09 for the 50 cm phantom and the best performing N50 r15, N44 r15 and N40 r14 grids. 最新文献报导 73 XIOPM latest Documents Report Optical tweezers/ Photochromic 332 Author(s): Andersson, M (Andersson, Martin); Madgavkar, A (Madgavkar, Ashwin); Stjerndahl, M (Stjerndahl, Maria); Wu, YR (Wu, Yanrong); Tan, WH (Tan, Weihong); Duran, R (Duran, Randy); Niehren, S (Niehren, Stefan); Mustafa, K (Mustafa, Kamal); Arvidson, K (Arvidson, Kristina); Wennerberg, A (Wennerberg, Ann) Title: Using optical tweezers for measuring the interaction forces between human bone cells and implant surfaces: System design and force calibration - art. no. 074302 Source: REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS, 78 (7): 74302-74302 JUL 2007 Abstract: Optical tweezers were used to study the interaction and attachment of human bone cells to various types of medical implant materials. Ideally, the implant should facilitate cell attachment and promote migration of the progenitor cells in order to decrease the healing time. It is therefore of interest, in a controlled manner, to be able to monitor the cell adhesion process. Results from such studies would help foresee the clinical outcome of integrating medical implants. The interactions between two primary cell culture models, human gingival fibroblasts and bone forming human osteoblast cells, and three different implant materials, glass, titanium, and hydroxyapatite, were studied. A novel type of optical tweezers, which has a newly designed quadrant detector and a powerful 3 W laser was constructed and force calibrated using two different methods: one method in which the stiffness of the optical trap was obtained by monitoring the phase lag between the trap and the moved object when imposing a forced oscillation on the trapped object and another method in which the maximum trapping force was derived from the critical velocity at which the object escapes the trap. Polystyrene beads as well as cells were utilized for the calibrations. This is the first time that cells have been used directly for these types of force calibrations and, hence, direct measurements of forces exerted on cells can be performed, thus avoiding the difficulties often encountered when translating the results obtained from cell measurements to the calibrations obtained with reference materials. This more straightforward approach represents an advantage in comparison to established methods.

Trapped microspheres are steered using the end-effector of a haptic device that is virtually coupled to an XYZ piezo-scanner controlling the movements of the fluid bed. To help with the manipulations, we first calculate a collision-free path for the particle and then display artificial guidance forces to the user through the haptic device to keep him/her on this path during steering. Experiments conducted with 8 subjects show almost two-fold improvements in the average path error and average speed under the guidance of haptic feedback.

Optical tweezers offer the promise of flexible positional control of such particles in a liquid, but so far this has been limited to either manipulation close to the surface, or to axial trapping of nanowires. We show the three-dimensional trapping of ZnO and silica-coated Si nanowires in counter-propagating line tweezers, and demonstrate translational and rotational in-plane manipulation, away from the surfaces. The high-refractive index particles investigated-ZnO wires (n similar to 1.9) with varying lengths up to 20 mu m and 6-mu m-long silica-coated Si wires (n = 3.6) - could not be trapped in single-beam line traps. Opposite surface charges are used to fix the nanowires to a surface. Full translational and inplane rotational control of semiconducting nanowires expands the possibilities to position individual wires in complex geometries significantly.

The method can be used to observe the distribution of cell components without fluorescence staining. The twodimensional optical path length distributions from multiple directions are obtained by non-contact rotation of the cell. These optical path lengths are converted into the line integrals of the refractive index, and the 3D reftactive-index distribution is reconstructed by means of computed tomography. The refractive-index distribution in a breast cancer cell can be measured using a phase-shifting Mach-Zehnder interferometer in conjunction with proximal two-beam optical tweezers.

In this paper, we report the trapping of LPS-coated polystyrene particles via optical tweezers and measured its interaction with murine macrophages (J774A.1 cells) for cells pre-treated with extract of Reishi polysaccharides (EORP) vs. those without EORP treatment. Our experimental results indicate that the cellular affinity for LPS increases when the macrophage is pretreated with EORP. We demonstrate for the first time by conventional biological methods and by tracking the dynamics of optically-trapped LPS-coated particles interacting with J774A.1 cells, that EORP not only enhances J774A.1 cells surface expression of TLR4 and CD14, two receptors on macrophages, as well as LPS binding and phagocytosis internalization, but also reduces the adhesion time constant and increases the force constant of the binding interaction. The application of optical tweezers allows us to study the effect on a single cell quantitatively in real-time with a spatial resolution similar to 1 mu m within a single cell.

To improve safety, one of the major ways consists in identifying and understanding the mechanisms of microbial cell adhesion to nonporous solid surfaces or filtration membranes. In this paper we investigate the adhesion of the yeast cell Saccharomyces cerevisiae (about 5 m in diameter) to a model solid surface, using well-defined hydrophilic glass substrates. An optical tweezer device developed by Piau [J. Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech. 144, 1 (2007)] was applied to yeast cells in contact with well-characterized glass surfaces. Two planes of observation were used to obtain quantitative measurements of removal forces and to characterize the corresponding mechanisms at a micrometer length scale. The results highlight various adhesion mechanisms, depending on the ionic strength, contact time, and type of yeast. The study has allowed to show a considerable increase of adhering cells with the ionic strength and has provided a quantitative measurement of the detachment forces of cultured yeast cells. Force levels are found to grow with ionic strength and differences in mobility are highlighted. The results clearly underline that a microrheological approach is essential for analyzing the adhesion mechanisms of biological systems at the relevant local scales. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------338 Author(s): Akitsu, T (Akitsu, Takashiro) Title: Photofunctional supramolecular solution systems of chiral Schiff base nickel(II), copper(II), and zinc(II) complexes and photochromic azobenzenes Source: POLYHEDRON, 26 (12): 2527-2535 JUL 23 2007 Abstract: 最新文献报导 75 XIOPM latest Documents Report Preparations, crystal structures, electronic and CD spectra are reported for new chiral Schiff base complexes, bis(N-R-1naphthylethyl-3,5-dichlorosalicydenaminato)nickel(II), copper(II), and zinc(II). Nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes adopt a square planar trans-[MN2O2] coordination geometry with Delta(R,R) configuration. While zinc(II) complex adopts a compressed tetrahedral trans-[MN2O2] one with Delta(R,R) configuration and exhibits an emission band around 21 000 cm(-1) (lambda(ex) = 27 000 cm(-1)). Absorption and CD spectra were recorded in N,N'dimethylformamide, acetone, methanol, chloroform, and toluene solutions to discuss relationships between spectral shifts of d-d and pi-pi bands by structural changes of the complexes and physical properties of the solvents. Moreover, we have attempted to investigate conformational changes of the complexes induced by photoisomerization of azobenzene, 4-hydroxyazobenzene, or 4-aminoazobenzene, in various solutions under different conditions. Weak intermolecular interactions between complexes and azobenzenes are important for the phenomenon by conformational changes of bulky pi-conjugated moieties of the ligands. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

An intrinsic Q factor of 4 106 was found for a microsphere of 30 m diameter, indicating the potential of such microresonators for highly sensitive biomolecular detection.

SI AUG-SEP 2007 Abstract: This work reports the use of infrared spectroscopy in the Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) mode to analyze the interactions between polymeric bases and the spiropyran. Infrared spectroscopy helps to understand the interactions between the different molecules, spiropyran polymeric base and the solvent. Polymethyl methacrylate and cellulose acetate as polymeric base and the spiropyran 1, 3, 3 trimethyl indoline-5-nitro benzopyrane were used. Thin films of different concentrations (0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 2% and 5%) of spiropyran were deposited in each type of polymeric base. The infrared spectra show the frequencies associated with the chemical bonds of each molecule. A decrease in intensity of absorbance was observed for the C=O stretching mode of the acetate group located at 1720 cm(-1) and for the C=C and C=N stretching modes at 1642 cm 1 associated with spiropyran. A shift in the intensity of the peaks was also observed due to solvent and polymeric base effects on the final film. (C) 2006 Elsevier Inc.

The use of a high-index material increases the trapping force with respect to the more common silica, through tighter focusing of light. We demonstrate the potential of this simple and versatile device by trapping and rotating nematic liquid crystal drops. We monitor the rotation of the drop by detecting light modulation observed with the same fiber using backscattered light, which exhibits modulation in intensity due to the rotation of the drop; this further extends the capabilities of the fiber tweezers.

Several scalable quantum-computing architectures have been proposed. An attractive architecture is a large set of physically independent qubits arranged in three spatial regions where (1) the initialized qubits are stored in a register, (2) two qubits are brought together to realize a gate and (3) the readout of the qubits is carried out. For a neutral-atom-based architecture, a natural way to connect these regions is to use optical tweezers to move qubits within the system. In this letter we demonstrate the coherent transport of a qubit, encoded on an atom trapped in a submicrometre tweezer, over a distance typical of the separation between atoms in an array of optical traps. Furthermore, we transfer a qubit between two tweezers, and show that this manipulation also preserves the coherence of the qubit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------343 Author(s): Folling, J (Foelling, J.); Belov, V (Belov, V.); Kunetsky, R (Kunetsky, R.); Medda, R (Medda, R.); Schonle, A (Schoenle, A.); Egner, A (Egner, A.); Eggeling, C (Eggeling, C.); Bossi, M (Bossi, M.); Hell, SW (Hell, S.

The calculated transmission spectra of two configurations are strikingly distinctive. The open form lacks any significant transmission peak within a wide energy window, while the closed structure has two significant transmission peaks on both sides of the Fermi level. The electronic transport properties of the molecular junction with closed structure under a small bias voltage are mainly determined by the tail of the transmission peak contributed unusually by the perturbed lowest perturbed unoccupied molecular orbital. The calculated on-off ratio of currents between the closed and open configurations is about two orders of magnitude, which reproduces the essential features of the experimental measured results. Moreover, we find that the switching behavior within a wide bias voltage window is extremely robust to both substituting F or S for H or O and varying end anchoring atoms from S to Se and Te. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------345 Author(s): De Luca, AC (De Luca, Anna Chiara); Volpe, G (Volpe, Giovanni); Drets, AM (Drets, Anna Morales); Geli, MI (Geli, Maria Isabel); Pesce, G (Pesce, Giuseppe); Rusciano, G (Rusciano, Giulia); Sasso, A (Sasso, Antonio); Petrov, D (Petrov, Dmitri) Title: Real-time actin-cytoskeleton depolymerization detection in a single cell using optical tweezers Source: OPTICS EXPRESS, 15 (13): 7922-7932 JUN 25 2007 Abstract: The cytoskeleton provides the backbone structure for the cellular organization, determining, in particular, the cellular mechanical properties. These are important factors in many biological processes, as, for instance, the metastatic process of malignant cells. In this paper, we demonstrate the possibility of monitoring the cytoskeleton structural transformations in optically trapped yeast cells ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae) by tracking the forward scattered light via a quadrant photodiode. We distinguished normal cells from cells treated with latrunculin A, a drug which is known to induce the actin-cytoskeleton depolymerization. Since the proposed technique relies only on the inherent properties of the optical trap, without requiring external markers or biochemical sensitive spectroscopic techniques, it can be readily combined with existing optical tweezers setups.

SI AUG 2007 Abstract: Efforts at understanding the behaviour of complex materials at the micro scale have led to the development of many microrheological techniques capable of probing viscoelastic behaviour. Among these, optical tweezers have been extensively developed for biophysical applications: they offer several advantages over traditional techniques, and can be employed in both passive and active microrheology. In this report, we outline several methods that can be used with optical tweezers to measure the microrheological behaviour of materials such as glycerol, methylcellulose solutions, actin matrices, and cellular membranes. In addition, we quantify the effect that the index of refraction of the solution has on the stiffness of the optical trap. Our results indicate that optical tweezers force microscopy is a versatile tool for the exploration of viscoelastic behaviour in a range of substrates at the micro scale. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------349 Author(s): Domachuk, P (Domachuk, P.); Omenetto, FG (Omenetto, F.

SI AUG 2007 Abstract: The optical tweezers effect offers the potential for all-optical control of microfluidic and optofluidic devices. Several possible means for applying optical tweezers to optofluidics are described including the use of polymers to tether transversely trapped microspheres and eliminate the need for axial trapping. Also covered is the use of optically trapped cantilevers to make durable devices and to allow the optically actuated elements to be integrated into the devices during manufacture. Self-aligning fibre-optic confocal detection of backscattered light is used to measure the position of the trapped object with respect to the axis of the trap for application to force sensing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------350 Author(s): Larciprete, MC (Larciprete, Maria Cristina); Dini, D (Dini, Danilo); Ostuni, R (Ostuni, Raffaella); Sibilia, C (Sibilia, Concita); Bertolotti, M (Bertolotti, Mario); Alvarez-Mico, X (Alvarez-Mico, Xavier); Gomez-Bombarelli, R (Gomez-Bombarelli, Rafael); Cappeddu, M (Cappeddu, Mirko); Scalora, M (Scalora, Michael); Bloemer, MJ (Bloemer, Mark J.) Title: Optical switching of a photochromic bis-phenylazo compound in PMMA films Source: JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE, 42 (18): 7866-7871 SEP 2007 Abstract: We present our results on a newly synthesized bis-phenylazo derivative, namely bisperfluoroalkylsulfonylaminoarylazomethylene-triphenyl-phosphorane (BAM-TPP). Thin films of BAM-TPP in polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) matrix were prepared. The films (thickness, d < 60 mu m) were exposed to UV-vis light with variable intensity in order to stimulate the photochromic reaction of BAM-TPP. The resulting absorption changes of the BAM-TPP/PMMA films were investigated by spectrophotometry. The absorption spectra reveal that BAM-TPP molecules in PMMA undergo photoisomerization with resulting decrease of absorbance in the range 500-700 nm. Finally, the time response of film transmittance at 514 nm under increasing CW light intensity was recorded, showing that the reverse photochromic 最新文献报导 78 XIOPM latest Documents Report process brings the absorbance back to its pristine value. The obtained films thus proved to be suitable for optical switching applications. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------351 Author(s): Kurmaz, SV (Kurmaz, S.

Title: Photochromic transformations of 6-nitrospiropyran in matrices of linear and branched polymers Source: RUSSIAN CHEMICAL BULLETIN, 56 (2): 197-204 FEB 2007 Abstract: Photochromic transformations of 6-nitrospiropyran in matrices of linear polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) and branched polymethacrylates of various composition and structure were studied by absorption spectroscopy. In the case of linear polymers the kinetics of bleaching of the colored merocyanine form of 6-nitrospiropyran is determined by polarity and molecular mobility of the polymer matrix. The kinetic regularities of merocyanine transformations into the initial spiropyran in the branched polymer matrices are apparently caused by specific features of their architecture, differences in the degree of branching, and the properties associated with molecular mobility.

When increasing the numbers of pump wavelengths from two to eight, the gain profiles become flatter, and the effective bandwidth becomes larger. Relative gain flatness of similar to 1% could be achieved over bandwidths of up to 15.1 THz (corresponds to E-band) without any gain equalization devices. When narrowing the gain bandwidth from the S+ C+ L-band (20.9 THz) to the E-band (15.1 THz), the relative gain flatness is reduced from 4.51 % to 4.12 %. The effects of the shape of the Raman gain spectra on the relative gain flatness and the effective bandwidth are also investigated using the TBSNWP glass with one broad Raman shift peak (full width at half maximum similar to 11 THz) and TeO2-Bi2O3-ZnO-Na2O (TBZN) glass with twin peaks. The simulation results show that the relative gain flatness and the effective bandwidth of TBSNWP FRA are better and larger than those of TBZN FRA, respectively. Our results suggest that the TBSNWP glasses are promising candidates for broadband FRA in photonic systems. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------353 Author(s): Kylemark, P (Kylemark, Per); Ren, J (Ren, Jian); Karlsson, M (Karlsson, Magnus); Radic, S (Radic, Stojan); McKinstrie, CJ (McKinstrie, Colin J.); Andrekson, PA (Andrekson, Peter A.) Title: Noise in dual-pumped fiber-optical parametric amplifiers: Theory and experiments Source: JOURNAL OF LIGHTWAVE TECHNOLOGY, 25 (9): 2837-2846 SEP 2007 Abstract: The noise figure (NF) of a dual-pumped parametric amplifier with copolarized pumps is quantified for the first time to our knowledge. It is shown that the NF is increased by the noise on the pump sources, in agreement with theory, and that it gives a uniform NF degradation due to a uniform gain spectrum. The magnitude of the NF degradation increases with increasing input-signal power. Various aspects of the NF are studied, such as the effects of three idlers generated by the four-sideband interaction, and Raman-induced losses and excess noise caused by the population of thermal phonons. It is shown that the use of unequal pump powers only affects the low-power NIT to a minimal degree. Also, the gain dependence of the NF is studied, as are the wavelength and signal power dependences of the NE It is shown that at high gain, the NF saturates even when pump noise is an issue. Also, unequal pump powers with fixed gain have a minor impact on the noise performance of the amplifier. Theory and experiments agree well with each other. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------354 Author(s): Pioger, PH (Pioger, P.

Commonly, feedback architectures are used since they allow to adjust the gain or output power to given target values and to compensate for control errors. However, purely feedback based controllers cannot meet the transient performance requirements for dynamically reconfigured networks. If improved transient performance is needed, a feedforward controller is added. However, state of the art implementations cannot achieve optimum performance since they do not take into account the shape of the input spectrum. In this paper, transient performance achieved with a new approach is investigated. Optimum transient performance is obtained by taking into account the wavelength dependence of the required pump power without incorporating additional hardware in the EDFA design. The basic principle behind the approach is explained and limiting effects are pointed out. In particular, the impact of transition times and sampling rates of digital signal processors are investigated. In addition, different aspects of the implementation are considered and the new approach is compared with standard feedforward controllers in view of the overshoots and undershoots arising from adding and dropping of channels. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------357 Author(s): Mizunami, T (Mizunami, Toru); Kizaki, N (Kizaki, Naoya); Nagaiwa, K (Nagaiwa, Kenzo) Title: Microprocessing and microplasma generation by femtosecond laser pulses generated by figure-of-eight erbiumdoped fiber-laser amplifier system Source: JAPANESE JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS PART 1-REGULAR PAPERS BRIEF COMMUNICATIONS & REVIEW PAPERS, 46 (8B): 5450-5455 AUG 2007 Abstract: A high-power femtosecond fiber-laser system for microplasma generation and microprocessing was developed. A 115 fs pulse train was generated by a passively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser. The pulses were near the Fourier transform limit. The pulse repetition rate was 12.2 MHz, the average power was 2.2 mW, and the peak power was 940 W. From the fiber-laser output, a small number of pulses were extracted using a lithium mobate optical modulator. The extracted pulses were amplified by an erbium-doped fiber amplifier with a small-signal gain of 400. The pulse was amplified with a net gain of 18 for a repetition rate of 1 MHz. The generation of micropl.asma from an amorphous carbon film was observed by irradiation of the output of the fiber laser system. The generation of the microplasrna was continuous when the position of irradiation was scanned. The diameter of the microplasma was 14 gm. A microablation trace of 15 mu m width was obtained on the film. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------358 Author(s): Wang, F (Wang, Fei); Chen, HT (Chen, Haltao); Yang, WY (Yang, Wenyan); Wu, ZM (Wu, Zhengmao); Xia, GQ (Xia, Guangqiong) Title: Numerical study of amplifier fiber ring a harmonic mode-locked semiconductor optical laser Source: OPTIK, 118 (9): 430-434 2007 最新文献报导 80 XIOPM latest Documents Report Abstract: An improved harmonic mode-locked Semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) fiber ring lasers has been presented and numerically investigated based on the self-reproduction theory.

Also, the system parameters effects on the characteristic of the harmonic mode-locked pulse have been investigated. (c) 2006 Elsevier GmbH.

Its storage capacity was discussed for return-to-zero (RZ) and non-return-to-zero (NRZ) bit streams. Gain saturation and pulse broadening are two key factors which limit the buffer capacity. Gain saturation is an inherent characteristic of the FBA. Broadening of the amplified pulse always accumulates with increasing gain owing to the dispersion during stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) process. It is shown that the maximum buffer capacity varies with data bit rate and for continuous wave (CW) or quasi-CW pump it is 0.53 and 1.04 bit for RZ and NRZ respectively. Also, the optimum data bit rate to achieve the best storage capacity is obtained.

In this regime, bend-induced distortion of fiber modes becomes large and can severely impact amplifier performance. Previous results describing bend-induced reduction of effective area are reviewed and extended with a numerical analysis of how bend distortion impacts interaction with the gain. Distortion-resistant designs such as the parabolic fiber are shown to substantially improve gain-interaction indicators as well as all other performance metrics simulated, and are predicted to dramatically outperform step-index fibers.

For coherent combining, optical phase-noise characterization of a ytterbium fiber amplifier is required to perform a critical evaluation of various approaches to coherent combining. For wavelength beam combining, we demonstrate good beam quality from the combination of three fiber amplifiers, and we discuss system scaling and design trades between laser linewidth, beam width, grating dispersion, and beam quality.

The proposed design scheme is demonstrated through the design of an eight-channel EDFA gain-clamping system with an all-optical self-tuning feedback loop. The effect of the time delay in the feedback loop and the selection of feedback wavelength are theoretically analyzed. Compared with existing electrical-optical EDFA gain schemes, the proposed design scheme is free from the feedback loop response speed limitation and does not need any predetermined information of the network traffic variation or operation point estimation. It can efficiently enhance the static and dynamic performance of the whole system. Furthermore, since the design can efficiently suppress the relaxation oscillation transient, it provides a cost-effective solution for the gain-clamping problem of a long EDFA chain by combining it with a fast-link control method.

Title: Influence of pulse shape in self-phase-modulation-limited chirped pulse fiber amplifier systems Source: JOURNAL OF THE OPTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA B-OPTICAL PHYSICS, 24 (8): 1809-1814 AUG 2007 Abstract: Our investigation is focused on the influence of the temporal pulse shape in chirped pulse fiber amplifier systems in which the recompression is limited due to a nonlinear chirp caused by self-phase modulation (SPM). We show that specific pulse shapes can overcome the usual limit but have to be maintained during amplification, which is not fulfilled if gain shaping occurs. We analyze numerically the possibility of spectral preshaping in order to prevent gain shaping and nonlinear distortion due to SPM.

Title: Theoretical optimization of nonlinear chirped-pulse fiber amplifiers Source: JOURNAL OF THE OPTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA B-OPTICAL PHYSICS, 24 (8): 1815-1823 AUG 2007 Abstract: The exploitation of nonlinear phase shifts (Phi(NL)) in chirped-pulse fiber amplifiers has been demonstrated recently. Systematic optimization of the performance of a femtosecond-pulse fiber amplifier in the presence of substantial Phi(NL) is a challenging multivariable problem. We introduce an approximate theoretical model that is valid as long as the Phi(NL) is not so large that the spectrum changes substantially. The model allows an arbitrary chirped-pulse 最新文献报导 82 XIOPM latest Documents Report amplification system to be described by a set of four universal curves. These reveal the scaling of performance and allow determination of the optimal values of residual group-velocity dispersion and third-order dispersion for a given pulse duration and energy.

For the first time, the RIN transfer in Brillouin fiber amplifiers has been numerically determined in the pump depletion regime both in the time and frequency domains. Moreover, an analytical expression of RIN transfer has been derived from the well-known SBS coupling equations when pump depletion is ignored. Experimental results are found to be in good agreement with the theoretical analysis. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------369 Author(s): Rui, X (Rui, Xiao); Jing, H (Jing, Hou); Jiang, ZF (Jiang Zong-Fu) Title: Study of far field-distribution of fiber amplifier arrays Source: ACTA PHYSICA SINICA, 56 (8): 4550-4555 AUG 2007 Abstract: In this paper, according to the analytical equation of the far-field intensity distribution in coherent combination of fiber laser arrays, we investigate the influence of fill factor of the laser arrays, elements and phase errors on the far-field patterns, the energy and angular width of the main lobe.

We study both circular and noncircular LR-wavelength-conversion schemes. A wavelength conversion policy governs the selection of the outgoing wavelength for an OP if the incoming wavelength is in use. Through simulations, we show that the so-called far-conversion policy for which the OP is switched onto the farthest available wavelength in the tuning range, outperforms the other policies we studied. We point out the clustering effect in the use of wavelengths to explain this phenomenon. We also provide an approximate analytical method to find the packet-blocking probability in circular-type LR-wavelength-conversion systems. Based on the simulation results, the approximate method appears to lead to a lower bound for blocking probabilities for all the conversion policies we study.(c) 2007 Optical Society of America. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------371 Author(s): Yanson, DA (Yanson, Dan A.); Silver, M (Silver, Mark); Vassalli, O (Vassalli, Omar); Campbell, M (Campbell, Margaret); Masterton, G (Masterton, Graeme); McDougall, SD (McDougall, Stewart D.); Marsh, JH (Marsh, John H.)

While there is no known polynomial time algorithm for computing an active path and a corresponding backup path using the PP scheme for a given source destination node pair, we show that an active path and a corresponding collection of backup paths using the PPP schme can be computed in plolynomial time, whenever they exist, under each of the following four network models: (a) dedicated protection in WDM networks without wavelength converters; (b) shared protection in WDM networks without wavelength converters; (c) dedicated protection in WDM networks with wavelength converters; and (d) shared protection in WDM networks with wavelength converters. This is achieved by proving that that for any given source s and destination d in the network, if one candidate active path connecting s and d is protectable using PPP, then any candidate active path connecting s and d is also protectable using PPP. It is known that the existence of PP implies the existence of PPP while the reverse is not true. We demonstrate a similar result in the case of segmented path protection. This fundamental property of the PPP scheme is of great importance in the context of achieving further research advances in the area of protection and restoration of WDM networks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------373 Author(s): Song, H; Moon, B; Cho, K Title: Priority-based dynamic bandwidth allocation in Ethernet Passive Optical Networks Source: PHOTONIC NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS, eFIRST Abstract: received his B.S. degree in Computer Science from Hongik University in 1983 and M.S. degree in Computer Science from Chung Bok National University Korea in 1996.

In this article, new Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) algorithms which give high priority to some ONUs corresponding to important agencies are studied in order to manage emergency cases causing severe network traffic. In order to deal with such cases, the network state is divided into two states, namely the normal and the emergency states. We apply the Weighted Round Robin (WRR)-based algorithm to the normal state, and three priority-based DBA algorithms are applied to the emergency state. These algorithms are different from each other according to the mode of protecting non-priority ONUs from starving. Each algorithm is analyzed in terms of utilization of the uplink bandwidth and the average packet delay. Simulation and theoretical results show that the proposed algorithms are working properly at the emergency state and can satisfy more stringent QoS requirements than WRR algorithms. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------374 Author(s): Yin, Y; Poo, G 最新文献报导 84 XIOPM latest Documents Report Title: A hybrid cycle bandwidth allocation scheme with differentiated services support in Ethernet passive optical networks Source: PHOTONIC NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS, eFIRST Abstract: received the B.Eng.

Dr. Poo is a member of the Advisory Editorial Board of Computer Communications, an international journal published by Elsevier Science. The Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) has emerged as one of the most promising solutions for next generation broadband access networks. Designing an efficient upstream bandwidth allocation scheme with differentiated services (DiffServ) support is a crucial issue for the successful deployment of EPON, carrying heterogeneous traffic with diverse quality of service (QoS) requirements. In this article, we propose a new hybrid cycle scheme (HCS) for bandwidth allocation with DiffServ support. In this scheme, the high-priority traffic is transmitted in fixed timeslots at fixed positions in a cycle while the medium- and low-priority traffic are transmitted in variable timeslots in an adaptive dynamic cycle. A suitable local buffer management scheme is also proposed to facilitate QoS implementation. We develop a novel feature providing potentially multiple transmission opportunities (M-opportunities) per-cycle for highpriority traffic. This feature is significant in improving delay and delay-variation performance. The HCS provides guaranteed services in a short-cycle scale for delay and jitter sensitive traffic while offering guaranteed throughput in a moderately long-time scale for bandwidth sensitive traffic and at the same time maximizing throughput for non-QoS demanding best-effort traffic. We develop analytical performance analysis on the deterministic delay bound for highpriority traffic and minimum throughput guarantees for both high- and medium-priority traffic. On the other hand, we also conduct detailed simulation experiments. The results show a close agreement between analytical approach and simulation. In addition, the simulation results show that the HCS scheme is able to provide excellent performance in terms of average delay, delay-variation, and throughput as compared with previous approaches. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------375 Author(s): Shenai, R (Shenai, Ramakrishna); Sivalingam, K (Sivalingam, Krishna) Title: Performance study of IP and SONET grooming in optical WDM mesh networks Source: JOURNAL OF OPTICAL NETWORKING, 6 (6): 568-583 JUN 1 2007 Abstract: We study the problem of IP traffic grooming in optical wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) mesh networks. Two different grooming architectures are considered: (i) IP/MPLS grooming, and (ii) SONET grooming. The IP/MPLS grooming approach provides a fine level of grooming granularity realized via software-based implementations but has router-processing-related bottlenecks. The SONET grooming approach is realized in dedicated hardware, but it is more expensive and typically offers limited grooming granularity choices. We also consider multipath routing as used in SONET virtual concatenation techniques, and we study the impact of the differential delay constraint. A detailed comparison of the different grooming options in terms of blocking probability, lightpath utilization, and survivability issues is presented. The simulation analysis helps quantify the improved performance of finer granularity grooming approaches over the coarser SONET-based approaches.

Although several algorithms have been proposed in the literature considering several of the above objectives in isolation, our work focuses on the fundamental problem of trading-off between PON upstream channel utilization and strict delay and jitter bounds when supporting a dynamically changing mix of services with different requirements.

A single-hop time-slotted alloptical packet-switched network is studied as a potential candidate for the ultra-high-speed next-generation all-optical metro network. This structure is composed of an alloptical wavelength-selective cross-connect core switch and a number of edge switches connected to the core switch in a star physical topology. Since optical packet switching (OPS) uses random medium access control, contention is the major problem for this network. Contention resolution techniques are used to resolve the contention. However, contention resolution hardware such as optical buffers and wavelength converters are expensive. In addition, optical buffers are complex and bulky. Therefore, we do not use contention resolution hardware in this network. Instead, we discuss and analyze the contention avoidance issue for such a network. Using more fibers and using additional wavelength channels to carry the same traffic are two schemes that can be used to reduce contention in OPS networks. We develop a cost model in order to optimize the number of fibers and additional channels required to achieve a given loss rate.

Title: Capacity enhancement of passive optical access networks using orthogonal modulation schemes Source: JOURNAL OF OPTICAL NETWORKING, 6 (7): 925-936 JUL 2 2007 Abstract: An optical transmitter architecture is proposed for the realization of passive optical networks, based on the use of orthogonal modulation formats. As will be shown, this technique offers an additional downstream channel to an optical access network without increasing the cost and the complexity of its implementation. The results derived by numerical simulations show that the combination of the orthogonal bit streams can stand for several networks' bit rate requirements, providing the ability to support new, highly demanded, broadband technologies as well as rapid increment of the optical access network subscriber's number. Moreover the proposed architecture exhibits better bandwidth utilization, more 最新文献报导 86 XIOPM latest Documents Report efficient use of network resources, and cost effectiveness compared with the so-far proposed techniques (WDM, subcarrier multiplexing, etc.).

Each node in an OCDMA ring network requires an OCDMA add/drop multiplexer. We present what we believe to be a novel OCDMA add/drop multiplexer that can simultaneously add and drop multiple code channels, and a proof-of-feasibility experiment is demonstrated. An OCDMA ring may also adapt code channels for time domain multiplexing and other digital signal transmission systems. An experiment for the synchronized digital hierarchy ( SDH) signal over a OCDMA link is demonstrated.

The purpose of this paper is to study, through numerical simulations, the impact on the signal brought by the concatenation Of OADMS. It is usually predicted that the transmission quality is severely degraded by filtering effects. However the simulations show that by introducing for example a small amount of non-linearities, degradations do not obligatorily happen. So as to highlight the effects of some parameters, we have built, in the simulation tool, different components having particular properties to vary amplitude, frequency and phase of filter group delay ripple. We show how in some circumstances, the eye widens due to cross phase modulation reduction or due to the interplay between chromatic dispersion and non-linear effects. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------383 Author(s): Mellah, H (Mellah, H.); Abbou, FM (Abbou, F.

Contention resolution is necessary in order to handle the case where more than one packet tries to leave the switch from the same output link at the same time. This paper presents a contention resolution scheme based on shared output fiber delay lines in a synchronous optical packet. The switch is modeled using a Markov chain. The simulations results agree with the analytical model. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------384 Author(s): Nguyen, TN (Nguyen, Thanh Nam); Chartier, T (Chartier, Thierry); Thual, M (Thual, Monique); Besnard, P (Besnard, Pascal); Provino, L (Provino, Laurent); Monteville, A (Monteville, Achille); Traynor, N (Traynor, Nick) Title: Simultaneous measurement of anomalous group-velocity dispersion and nonlinear coefficient in optical fibers using soliton-effect compression Source: OPTICS COMMUNICATIONS, 278 (1): 60-65 OCT 1 2007 Abstract: We present a novel and simple method to measure both the value of the second-order dispersion coefficient and the nonlinear coefficient in optical fibers.

In particular, we study the steady-state and dynamic response of FOPAs following changes in network operating conditions. These include changes in the gain spectrum (gain tilt) due to variations in the total input power to the amplifier or as a result of channel add/drop, as well as the characteristics of the gain transients following channel add/drop. Initially, we examine the worst case scenario where all channels are inphase and exactly equispaced. We compare these results with the ones obtained for random initial phases and inexact channel spacings. We find that the complex nature of the interactions occurring in a FOPA make it very difficult to predict their behaviour a priori and their deployment in WDM systems will require special attention. Moreover, we confirm that unequal spacing can vastly improve the performance of multichannel FOPAs. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Title: On the performance of different node configurations in multi-fiber optical packet-switched networks Source: PHOTONIC NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS, 14 (1): 11-22 AUG 2007 Abstract: With the development of optical packet-switching (OPS) technologies, multi-fiber OPS networks will play an important role in the future data transmissions. In such networks, instead of constructing some extremely expensive node configurations with strictly non-blocking switching function, a more practical solution is multi-board switches that contain a number of small-sized switching boards. In this article, we have evaluated the performance of several different multi-board switches, based on the following two main objectives: (i) better understanding the effects of different connection schemes between switching boards and optical buffers and (ii) investigating possible schemes for achieving comparable performance to that of the ideal, strictly non-blocking switches. Extensive simulation results have shown that unlike circuit-switched networks, multi-board OPS cannot easily perform comparably to the strictly non-blocking switch by having slightly more fibers per link. Also, such a problem can be tackled by several different approaches. The most efficient one is to equip the switch with more buffers rather than to increase the switching-board size or to enhance the buffer sharing between different switching boards. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------388 Author(s): Bravi, E (Bravi, E.); Cotter, D (Cotter, D.) Title: Low-latency optical network based on wavelength division multiplexed clockwork routing Source: PHOTONIC NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS, 14 (1): 83-88 AUG 2007 Abstract: Optical networks based on the 'clockwork' routing mechanism have significant advantages for high-speed optical packet switched applications in which latency is critical, such as parallel and distributed computing. The main advantages are that no optical buffers and no centralized contention arbitration are required. However, the network performance decreases rapidly with increasing network size. This article proposes the use of wavelength division multiplexing, in combination with clockwork routing, to provide significant improvements in network scalability and bisection bandwidth, resulting in higher throughput and reduced latency. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------389 Author(s): Al Sayeed, CA (Al Sayeed, C.

Existing ROADM subsystems, manufactured with different designs and technologies, are suffering from either high insertion losses, especially for the passing-through (express)-channels, or high manufacturing costs that are preventing their rapid deployment in networks. An architecture for an ROADM subsystem that integrates the best features of the latest available ROADM designs is proposed. The proposed ROADM subsystem, denoted as a Hybrid-ROADM, exhibits a lower insertion loss (similar to 7 dB for express-channels) than existing ROADMs while offering simplification and cost benefit. A metro network testbed has been configured to demonstrate and compare the performance of the proposed Hybrid-ROADM module against currently available ROADM subsystems. The obtained results indicate that our Hybrid-ROADM shows better performance in metro networks than the latest available ROADM subsystems and will reduce the overall network operating costs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------390 Author(s): Bouabdallah, N (Bouabdallah, Nizar) Title: Sub-wavelength solutions for next-generation optical networks Source: IEEE COMMUNICATIONS MAGAZINE, 45 (8): 36-43 AUG 2007 Abstract: The recent trend in optical networks is switching packets directly in the optical domain.

We discuss the challenges encountered in these new architectures and their respective niches. To meet the requirements of next-generation high-speed optical networks, we also propose a new solution based on the distribution of the aggregation process in the network. The feasibility of this scheme and the benefit that it provides over existing solutions are analyzed in this article. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------391 Author(s): Singh, P (Singh, Paramjeet); Sharma, AK (Sharma, Ajay K.); Rani, S (Rani, Shaveta) Title: Routing and wavelength assignment strategies in optical networks Source: OPTICAL FIBER TECHNOLOGY, 13 (3): 191-197 JUL 2007 Abstract: We consider the routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) problem on wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks without wavelength conversion. When the physical network and required connections are given, RWA is the problem to select a suitable path and wavelength among the many possible choices for each connection such that no two paths using the same wavelength pass through the same link. In WDM optical networks, there is need to maximize the number of connections established and to minimize the blocking probability using limited resources.

Survivability is very important issue in these networks. Survivability requires resources for handling the failures. So, efficient resource allocation strategy is required for survivability. In this paper, we have presented two resource allocation strategies for survivability. These strategies reserve the resources for the primary lightpaths and backup lightpaths. Then extensive simulations are done on different networks to evaluate the performance in terms of blocking probability. The results show that the second strategy performs better than first strategy.

Exploiting the periodic free- spectral-range (FSR) properties of arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) routers, the total ONU (optical network unit) capacity in the network is partitioned into different groups based on the subscriber's geographical locations. Maximallength sequence (M-sequence) codes are taken as signature addresses to take advantage of the cyclic properties of AWG routers. The proposed scheme is suitable for networks in which the distance between the OLT (optical line terminal) and the individual ONUs varies. 最新文献报导 89 XIOPM latest Documents Report The influence of the degree of polarization (DOP) on the signal to phase-induced intensity-noise ratio is evaluated. By introducing a depolarizer in front of the balanced photo-detector, the maximum permissible number of simultaneous active ONUs can be improved by approximately 20% for a 10(-9) error probability. By exploiting the inherent cyclic FSR characteristics of AWG routers, the OLT enables a significant reduction in the number of AGW-based network codecs compared to the previous coded WDM (i.e., OCDMA in spectral domain) scheme. Furthermore, while the number of AWGs in the proposed scheme is comparable to that of conventional WDM-EPON schemes, the current scheme is more flexible, confidential, and scalable.

With only small wavelength channel tuned range, the proposal applies fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) and multiport optical circulators (MOCs) to build a bi-direction reconfigurable OADM which can deal with full channels without the receiving signal having wavelength-interleaved. Moreover, it is easier and more flexible to extend wavelength channels by cascading additional FBGs. The magnitudes of homodyne and heterodyne crosstalks are analyzed for evaluating the performance of the proposed BOADM. Also, the power equalization of each signal in the add-drop and output ports is managed properly by implementing filters. As a result, the BOADM will be found in wide applications in dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) optical networks and in multiwavelength crossconnects (WXCs). (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc.

Methods: A medial optic canal decompression was performed on 5 cadaveric optic canals within 12 hours of death. Two canals were decompressed under direct visualization and 3 were decompressed by a transphenoidal endoscopic approach. The optic canal was subsequently removed en bloc, beginning at the annulus of Zinn and extending to the optic chiasm. Each specimen was processed and examined grossly. Serial coronal step sections of the entire length of the intracanalicular optic nerve were assessed histologically. Results: Microscopic examination of the intracanalicular portion of optic nerve revealed incision in an extraocular muscle at the annulus, incomplete bone removal, fraying of the dural sheath, incomplete dural/arachnoid release, and incision in the pia and optic nerve. Conclusions: Transphenoidal medial wall decompression of the optic nerve canal with dural sheath opening may induce physical damage to the nerve. Any hypothetical value in dural-arachnoid sheath opening must be weighed against the potential for harm to the optic nerve caused by the surgical intervention. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------396 Author(s): Assi, C (Assi, Chadi); Huo, W (Huo, Wei); Shami, A (Shami, Abdallah) Title: Multiple link failures survivability of optical networks with traffic grooming capability Source: COMPUTER COMMUNICATIONS, 29 (18): 3900-3912 NOV 28 2006 Abstract: This paper investigates the problem of survivable traffic grooming (STG) in shared mesh optical networks and proposes different frameworks for improving the survivability of low speed demands against multiple near simultaneous failures. Spare capacity reprovisioning has recently been considered for improving the overall network restorability in the event of dual failures; here, after the recovery form the first failure, some connections in the network may become unprotected and exposed to new failures. Capacity reprovisioning then allocates protection resources to unprotected and vulnerable connections so that the network can withstand a future failure. In this paper, we propose two different reprovisioning schemes (lightpath level reprovisioning, LLR, and connection level reprovisioning, CLR); they differ in the granularity at which protection resources are reprovisioned. Further, each of these schemes is suitable for a different survivable grooming policy. While LLR provides collective reprovisioning of connections at the lightpath level, CLR reprovisions spare bandwidth for lower speed connections instead. We use simulation methods to study the performance of these schemes under two grooming policies (PAL and PAC), and we show that while CLR reprovisions substantially many 最新文献报导 90 XIOPM latest Documents Report more connections than LLR (i.e., potentially more management overhead) CLR yields a much better network robustness to simultaneous failures due to its superior flexibility in using network resources.

Our analysis encloses two wavelength reservation schemes JIT (just-in-time) and JET (just-enough-time), and two-class data rate. The contribution of our work includes: (i) derivation of an accurate model for blocking probability of lower priority bursts in case of a non-preempted model; (ii) provision of the analytical model for blocking probability calculation in the OBS network, which includes these variables: two signaling schemes, partial wavelength conversion, two-class data, traffic intensity, cross-connect speed, number of wavelengths in WDM fiber, number of fibers in the node, number of wavelength converters, and number of nodes in the path; (iii) simulation results, which show that partial wavelength conversion provide quite satisfactory quality of service. We compare performance in a single OBS node, under various sets of parameter values. The OBS network shows great flexibility in terms of used multiclass data, and there is no dependence on the used higher layer protocol. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------398 Author(s): Herrera, J (Herrera, J.); Tangdiongga, E (Tangdiongga, E.); Liu, Y (Liu, Y.); Hill, MT (Hill, M.

The scheme shows a potentially high scalability, up to 25 labels in a 5-nm bandwidth packet using commercial arrayed waveguide gratings as the label processor. Switching is demonstrated using packets with two different 9-ns labels, 6.4and 4.6-ns guard times, and 56.8-ns payload at 160 Gb/s. The system uses a tunable optical filter as the label extractor, a hybrid integrated optical flip-flop, and a high-speed semiconductor-optical-amplifier-based wavelength converter. Errorfree operation is achieved with acceptable error penalties. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------399 Author(s): Gripp, J (Gripp, J.); Winzer, PJ (Winzer, P.

In our experiments, intensity contrast variation of light emitted from a modified experimental setup of Mallory-type was monitored by a high-speed electronic camera. The results demonstrated that the LiF under the shock pressure of 102 GPa retains its initial transparency in the whole observation time interval, which is in good agreement with the common view of good sustained transparency of 最新文献报导 91 XIOPM latest Documents Report LIF. The LiTaO3 became basically opaque at 139 GPa. Sapphire at 131 GPa shock pressure showed a continuous transparency degradation till became completely darkened when the shock wave was arriving at the free-surface. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------401 Author(s): Bafna, P (Bafna, Paresh); Gumaste, A (Gumaste, Ashwin); Ghani, N (Ghani, Nasir) Title: Delay sensitive smoothed round robin (DS2R2) scheduler for high-speed optical networks Source: IEEE COMMUNICATIONS LETTERS, 11 (7): 628-630 JUL 2007 Abstract: Smoothed Round Robin (SRR) is an O(1) scheduler that efficiently schedules flows based on flow granularity leading to short-term fairness.

Title: Geometrical accuracy and optical performance of injection moulded and injection-compression moulded plastic parts Source: CIRP ANNALS-MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY, 56 (1): 545-548 2007 Abstract: The manufacturing of optical components by injection moulding and injection-compression moulding is a serious challenge for tool and machine technology as well as for process control. To evaluate the quality of optical parts the accuracy of the moulded geometry as well as the resulting optical performance has been analysed. At present a geometrical moulding accuracy in the lower micron range has been achieved for the production of thick-walled lenses. Overall injection-compression moulded lenses showed a better optical performance than injection moulded lenses. To further improve the resulting geometrical quality, local material shrinkage can be compensated by precisely modifying the cavity contour. Large Aperture Mirror 403 Beaulieu, M. and R. J. Zielinski Large aperture mirror testing appts - has first test body which is partially reflective lens with transmissive surface and concave partially reflective surface of known sphericity, Litton Systems Inc (Lito). Abstract: The appts includes an optical lens with its lens focal point and centre of curvature coinciding with the second focal point F2 of the test optic for testing a first section of the reflective surface of the test optic. A light source is provided for generating a wavefront of light originating at the lens focal point and directed toward the lens. The wavefront of the light is centered about an optical axis of the lens extending radially from the lens focal point to the second focal point F2 of the test optic. The light incident on the lens from the lens focal point is then transmitted through the lens and appears to originate from the first focal point F1 of the test optic before being retro-reflected back from the reflective surface of the test optic toward the lens focal point. USE/ADVANTAGE - In prim mirrors of telescopes. Provision for reusable, relative inexpensive testing appts. 404 Boone, B. G., J. R. Bruzzi, et al. (2004). Development and testing of an actively controlled large-aperture Cassegrain telescope for spacecraft deployment. Optical, Infrared, and Millimeter Space Telescopes, Pts 1-3. J. C. Mather. 5487: 1042-1053. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is planning future deep space missions requiring space-based imaging reconnaissance of planets and recovery of imagery from these missions via optical communications. Both applications have similar requirements that can be met by a common aperture. The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in collaboration with commercial and academic partners is developing a new approach to deploying and controlling large aperture (meter-class) optical telescopes on spacecraft that can be rapidly launched and deployed. The deployment mechanism uses flexible longeron struts to deploy the secondary. The active control system uses a fiber-coupled laser array near the focal plane that reflects four collimated laser beams off of the periphery of the secondary to four equally-disposed quad cell sensors at the periphery of the primary to correct secondary-to-primary misalignments and enable motion compensation. We describe a compensation technique that uses tip/tilt and piston actuators for quasi-static bias correction and dynamic motion compensation. We also describe 最新文献报导 92 XIOPM latest Documents Report preliminary optical tests using a commercial Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope in lieu of an ultra-lightweight composite Cassegrain, which is under development by Composite Mirror Applications, Inc.. Finite element and ray trace modeling results for a 40 cm composite telescope design will also be described. 405 Chernin, S. M., A. G. Berezin, et al. (2000).

A V-shaped six-pass optical system is developed with a single spherical mirror which functions as an objective and as a collective lens. Despite the large relative aperture, the system is almost aberratiod-free. The V-shaped system is used as the basis for three different multipass cells designed to operate in the infrared for Fourier and diode laser spectroscopy. (C) 2000 The Optical Society of America.

The Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fibre Spectroscopy Telescope (LAMOST) is a meridian reflecting Schmidt telescope with a clear aperture of 4 m, focal length of 20 m and a field of view of 5 degrees. Using the active optics technique to control its reflecting corrector makes LAMOST a unique astronomical instrument in combining wide field of view with large aperture. The available large linear size focal plane of 1.75 m in diameter corresponding to its wide angular field of view of 5 degrees could accommodate up to 4000 fibres, by which the collected light of celestial objects is fed into the spectrographs, promising a very high spectrum acquisition rate, say, of the order of ten thousands of spectra per night, or ten millions of spectra every three years. LAMOST will bring Chinese astronomy into the 21st century with the leading role in the fields of large scale and large sample astronomy and astrophysics. 407 Cook, L. G. Fore-optical system for reflective telescope having multiple simultaneous viewing functions - has first reflecting assembly with mirror and apertures for passage of light, and second reflecting assembly, Hughes Aircraft Co (Huga) Raytheon Co (Rayt). The system comprises an entrance pupil region (14) and first reflecting assembly (10) for reflecting light from a viewed scene passing through the entrance pupil region (14) to an exit pupil (16). The first reflecting assembly has an opening or apertures (28a-28d) for passage of light, and includes at least one mirror (22), taking the form of an afocal three-mirror anastigmat telescope. A second reflecting assembly (12) reflects light from the first reflecting assembly (10). The second reflecting assembly (12) is positioned at the exit pupil (16) in such way that the second reflecting assembly (12) reflects light to a several of viewing regions (34) to enable simultaneous viewing of the viewed scene by several sensing devices. USE/ADVANTAGE - Provides for correction of spherical aberration, coma, and anastigmatism. Allows simultaneous functioning of several sensing devices, and minimises space requirements. Provides large aperture and field of view. 408 Forno, C. and M. P. Whelan (2001). "Digital moire subtraction in optical engineering." Optical Engineering 40(10): 2199-2207. Conventionally, for the most accurate measurements, interferometer systems are constructed from high-quality optical elements and include fine controls for precise alignment. In this alternative approach, all the errors of a poor quality, misaligned system are accepted then eliminated by a simple digital moire process. The method offers the possibility of devising very large aperture optical systems for traditional and engineering interferometers from inexpensive and basic components. It can also offer benefits in other measurement techniques, including moire. (C) 2001 Society of Photo-optical instrumentation Engineers. 409 Gebelein, R. J. and D. Shafer Reflecting telescope correcting lens - has meniscus lens with concave surface closer to mirror convex surface, GEBELEIN R J (GEBE-Individual). The correcting lens system for a telescope having a reflecting mirror and having an eyepiece with spherical aberration, comprises a meniscus lens having a concave surface and a convex surface. A mounting holds the meniscus lens on an optic axis of the telescope with the concave surface closer to the mirror than the convex surface. This provides a distance between the meniscus lens and eyepiece which will correct the spherical aberration of the eyepiece. The mounting moves the meniscus lens along the optic axis to also correct coma aberration of the reflecting mirror. USE - Corrects large aperture telescopes. 410 Gorinevsky, D. and T. T. Hyde (2002). Adaptive membrane for large lightweight space telescopes. Highly Innovative Space Telescope Concepts. H. A. MacEwen. 4849: 330-338. Large, lightweight telescopes in space will enable future earth science, space science, and reconnaissance. The state of the art in space telescope is the Hubble Space Telescope launched in 1990 with its 2.4 m primary mirror. Missions within the decade such as the Next Generation Space Telescope will push this aperture diameter to over 6.5 m. But truly revolutionary observation in many wavelengths will require increasingly large and lightweight apertures. 最新文献报导 93 XIOPM latest Documents Report Although these telescopes of the future will have low areal mass density, the deployed aperture structures must capture and hold a surface figure to a fraction of a wavelength in the presence of thermal, slew, and vibration disturbances. Active control of surface figure is a key technology for the success of gossamer space structures. For structures with thousands of actuators distributed in the surface, the control hardware and computations should be distributed as well. This paper discusses how an efficient control of a membrane reflector shape can be achieved using embedded actuators distributed over the membrane surface. Advanced algorithms using only local information about errors and actuation for collocated and neighboring positions in each of the distributed computational elements allow achieving required control performance. Electrostatic actuators implemented on compliant plastic substrates, represent a highly attractive proposition thanks to their very low areal density. Control, sensing, and communication is distributed and integrated in the adaptive membrane to provide the imaging surface quality of a thick stiff mirror at an infinitesimal fraction of the mass. An adaptive membrane with built-in distributed actuators, sensors, and computational elements can be made scalable to a very large size. 411 Helms, R. G., C. P. Porter, et al. (1989). "Lightweight composite mirror analysis and testing." Proceedings of the SPIE The International Society for Optical Engineering 1114: 426-441. An increasing number of large aperture telescopes and antennas are designed to meet a wide range of scientific objectives in both terrestrial and orbital environments. Because of the large scale of these instruments, materials and structures drive the design of these systems. Mass, surface figure, and overall dimensional stability are critical for most subsystems. Accordingly, light weight, low cost, structurally stiff materials are the most attractive candidates. To address these reflector technology challenges JPL has directed research to major technology programs whose objectives are to evaluate, advance and apply structural composite materials technologies to high precision, thermally stable, lightweight mirrors. A balanced, iterative approach combines analytical simulation, hardware fabrication, and mirror performance testing. This paper focuses on the computer models, mirror performance evaluation and correlation. 412 Herrig, E. Reflecting telescope with two or three slanting mirrors - has equivalent of four mirrors achieved by double use of two mirrors and one further mirror, HERRIG E (HERR-Individual) LACHMANN S (LACH-Individual). The first mirror (1,3) in the beam path is always a convex mirror. A four-mirror telescope with a folded beam course is formed by double use of both mirrors, e.g. two-mirror variant, and one mirror, e.g. three-mirror variant. Image distortions are compensated by the right selection of focal distances, distances between mirrors, tilt angles and by slight rotationally symmetrical deformations in the reflection surfaces. Mirror surface rims of non-circular shape or an oval optical aperture diaphragm are used. USE/ADVANTAGE - The mirror system is compact, structurally simple and has a relatively large aperture ratio with minimum image errors. 413 Hickson, P. and K. M. Lanzetta (2003). "Large-Aperture Mirror Array (LAMA) - conceptual design for a distributedaperture 42-meter telescope." Proceedings of the SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering 4840: 273282. We propose a high-density coherent array of eighteen 10-m liquid-mirror telescopes. Each telescope is equipped with a reflective corrector system that enables it to point and track within an eight-degree diameter accessible field of view centered on the zenith. Equipped with adaptive optics, each telescope would deliver a diffraction-limited beam to a common focal plane. There, a dichroic optical-infrared camera will provide simultaneous imaging in six wavelength bands from 0.6 to 2.2 mu m. Operating coherently as a Fizeau imaging interferometer, the array would be capable of achieving 4 mas resolution at 1 mu m and a point source sensitivity of 40 pJy (I/sub AB / = 34.9) in a single 30 min exposure. With incoherent beam recombination it would be capable of 25 mas resolution and a point-source detection limit of 250 pJy (I/sub AB/ = 32.9) in a single 30 min exposure. The telescope uses established technologies and could be built in a comparatively short time. 414 Humphries, C. M., Y. Nevo, et al. (1992). "OPTICAL DESIGN AND TESTING OF A FAST, LARGE APERTURE, INFRARED SPACE TELESCOPE." Space Science Reviews 61(1-2): 211-232.(好) An optical design study for a next generation infrared space telescope has been performed. The concept is that of a passively cooled telescope of minium aperture 2.5 metre with an F/1.2 primary and wavelength coverage from lambda = 2 to at least 40 mum, and possibly to 100 mum. Compactness, low thermal emission from the optics and structure, diffraction limited imaging at lambda = 2 mum, and sensitivity to misalignment aberrations and manufacturing errors were the main considerations for this study. Ray tracing results are presented showing the characteristics of the various designs considered. A preliminary investigation of stray light properties is also given. Special emphasis has been placed on the testing of such a fast primary, and optical systems using a lateral shearing interferometer are described for testing both the primary and the primary/secondary combination. 415 Hyde, R. A., S. N. Dixit, et al. (2002). "Eyeglass: a very large aperture diffractive space telescope." Proceedings of the SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering 4849: 28-39. 最新文献报导 94 XIOPM latest Documents Report Eyeglass is a very large aperture (25 - 100 meter) space telescope consisting of two distinct spacecraft, separated in space by several kilometers. A diffractive lens provides the telescope's large aperture, and a separate, much smaller, space telescope serves as its mobile eyepiece. Use of a transmissive diffractive lens solves two basic problems associated with very large aperture space telescopes; it is inherently fieldable (lightweight and flat, hence packagable and deployable) and virtually eliminates the traditional, very tight, surface shape tolerances faced by reflecting apertures. The potential drawback to use of a diffractive primary (very narrow spectral bandwidth) is eliminated by corrective optics in the telescope's eyepiece. The Eyeglass can provide diffraction-limited imaging with either single-band, multiband, or continuous spectral coverage. Broadband diffractive telescopes have been built at LLNL and have demonstrated diffraction-limited performance over a 40% spectral bandwidth (0.48 - 0.72 mu m). As one approach to package a large aperture for launch, a foldable lens has been built and demonstrated. A 75 cm aperture diffractive lens was constructed from 6 panels of 1 mm thick silica; it achieved diffraction-limited performance both before and after folding. This multiple panel, folding lens, approach is currently being scaled-up at LLNL. We are building a 5 meter aperture foldable lens, involving 72 panels of 700 mu m thick glass sheets, diffractively patterned to operate as coherent f/50 lens. 416 Kornbluh, R. D., D. S. Flamm, et al. (2003). Shape control of large lightweight mirrors with dielectric elastomer actuation. Smart Structures and Materials 2003: Electroactive Polymer Actuators and Devices. Y. BarCohen. 5051: 143158. Space-based astronomy and remote sensing systems would benefit from extremely large aperture mirrors that can permit greater-resolution images. To be cost effective and practical, such optical systems must be lightweight and capable of deployment from highly compacted stowed configurations. Such gossamer mirror structures are likely to be very flexible and therefore present challenges in achieving and maintaining the required optically precise shape. Active control based on dielectric elastomers was evaluated in order to address these challenges. Dielectric elastomers offer potential advantages over other candidate actuation technologies including high elastic strain, low power dissipation, tolerance of the space environment, and ease of commercial fabrication into large sheets. The basic functional element of dielectric elastomer actuation is a thin polymer film coated on both sides by a compliant electrode material. When voltage is applied between electrodes, a compressive force squeezes the film, causing it to expand in area. We have explored both material survivability issues and candidate designs of adaptive structures that incorporate dielectric elastomer actuation. Experimental testing has shown the operation of silicone-based actuator layers over a temperature range of -100 degreesC to 260 degreesC, suitable for most earth orbits. Analytical (finite element) and experimental methods suggested that dielectric elastomers can produce the necessary shape change when laminated to the back of a flexible mirror or incorporated into an inflatable mirror. Interferometric measurements verified the ability to effect controllable shape changes less than the wavelength of light. In an alternative design, discrete polymer actuators were shown to be able to control the position of a rigid mirror segment with a sensitivity of 1800 nm/V, suggesting that subwavelength position control is feasible. While initial results are promising, numerous technical challenges remain to be addressed, including the development of shape control algorithms, the fabrication of optically smooth reflective coatings, consideration of dynamic effects such as vibration, methods of addressing large-numbers of active areas, and stowability and deployment schemes. 417 Krumweide, G. C. (1998). Issues to be addressed in the design and fabrication of ultralightweight, meter class optics. Space Telescopes and Instruments V, Pts 1-2. P. Y. Bely and J. B. Breckinridge. 3356: 967-972. There is a growing need for large aperture, ultralightweight, deployable optics (mirrors) for various science, military and commercial compact satellites (Pleimann 1997(1)). This paper will examine the engineering and manufacturing considerations that must be addressed in order to satisfy the requirements for these sought after optics. In order to limit the scope of this paper, only Graphite Fiber Reinforced/Polymer Matrix Composites (GFR/PMC) will be under consideration because of the potential to satisfy ultralightweight mirror requirements (5 - 10 Kg/m(2)) (Kasl 1997(2)). The requirements associated with specular mirror concepts that Composite Optics, Incorporated (COI) has proposed to Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/VS) and NASA Langley Research Center for visible range optics and LIDAR (light bucket) optics, respectively, will also be our interest. Moreover, it is the intent of this paper to illustrate how COI's proposed design/manufacturing concepts for visible and LIDAR optics have evolved based on overcoming, or working around, material constraints and/or undesirable characteristics associated with GFR/PMC. 418 Kuhn, J. R., G. Moretto, et al. (2001). "Concepts for a large-aperture, high dynamic range telescope." Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific 113(790): 1486-1510. This paper summarizes concept studies for a large telescope capable of wide-field imaging and of the highest possible dynamic range for photometry and angular resolution. Point-spread functions (PSFs) and scattered light levels at large offsets are computed and compared for four telescopes of the same light-gathering power but with different pupil functions: 1. a reference monolithic mirror telescope with a 17.4 m primary, 2. a segmented mirror telescope (SMT) with a hexagonally segmented primary, 3. a hexagonal off-axis telescope (HOT) with a distributed aperture made 最新文献报导 95 XIOPM latest Documents Report of m unobstructed circular 6 x 6.5 mirrors that are identical off-axis sections of a parent 20 m mirror, and 4. a square off-axis telescope (SOT) whose aperture is made of m off-axis mirrors. 4 x 8. The characteristics of the PSFs are examined in the diffraction- and seeing-limited regimes, assuming (1) perfect mirror figure and (2) realistic figure errors (edge defects). The implications of field rotation with an altitude-azimuth mounting are discussed in each case. The implementation of adaptive optics (AO) and the properties of AO-compensated PSFs having a Strehl ratio of 0.5, and of coronagraphic imaging, are also discussed for the four configurations. It is shown that, in the seeing-limited regime and as intuitively expected, the optical performance of all four telescopes is comparable. With higher order adaptive optics and for coronagraphic observations, the SOT and HOT are superior to the SMT. This distinction becomes larger with relaxed constraints on mirror edge-polishing requirements. A full optical design is presented for the novel HOT configuration, and optical fabrication issues are briefly addressed. Finally, science programs and possible instrumentation layouts with the HOT are briefly explored for different modes of operation. It appears that the natural "optical bench" configuration of the HOT can provide a remarkably versatile and convenient environment for instrument deployment. 419 Lazareva, N. L. and D. T.

The instrument errors of an interferometer for testing the shape of concave spherical surfaces are analyzed, the causes of the errors are considered, and ways to eliminate them are indicated. 420 Lehman, D. H., E. V. Pawlik, et al. (1990). "Precision segmented reflectors for space applications." Proceedings of the SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering 1271: 191-203. The Precision Segmented Reflectors (PSR) project represents a first step toward developing the technology base needed to support future advanced astrophysics missions, especially those that operate at submillimeter wavelengths. The focus of the effort is to develop a lightweight, low cost option for building large aperture, segmented reflecting space-based telescopes. The principal driver for PSR technology is the Submillimeter Telescope program including the proposed 20 meter Large Deployable Reflector (LDR) telescope, and its precursor-survey mission which is currently in early development and definition. Four major technical areas, reflector panels and materials, structures, and figure control are under development by PSR. These technical areas are, however, generic in nature and can be applied to other future missions such as optical communications, optical interferometers, and missions requiring large diameter, segmented reflectors. Specific project objectives, approaches and significant challenges are described. Technology development issues encountered are also discussed. Finally, project status is reported. 421 Li, Z. H. and K. Y. Wu (2005). "Autofocus system for space cameras." Optical Engineering 44(5). A novel autofocusing technique using a self-imaging approach is developed for a space camera having large aperture and long focus. Its optical system consists of an emitting system, receiving system, and two pentagonal prisms. The emitting system has three parts: a light source, bearnsplitter, and aim slit. The receiving system includes a field lens, two separate lenses, and CCD. Using two little pentaprisms instead of a large planar mirror makes the autofocus system simple and compact. A defocused signal is acquired by measuring the change of the slit self-image position imaged on the CCD. The algorithm to calculate the movement of the slit self-image position is analyzed to achieve sub-pixel position estimation. The results of the experiments show a +/- 10-mu m precision of autofocusing in a range of +/- 5mm defocusing. The system demonstrates high resolution, easy adjustment, and high reliability. Also this method can meet the requirements of various accurate focus measurement systems. (c) 2005 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers. 422 Liu, H., Z. W. Lu, et al. (2004). "Using curved hologram to test large-aperture convex surface." Optics Express 12(14): 3251-3256. A valid optical system with a computer-generated hologram fabricated on a concave lens surface, for measuring large-aperture convex surface, is demonstrated experimentally. The CGH employed in this system has been constructed using a new technology that combines laser direct writing and lithography. This technology allows precise alignment, superior linear profile and high resolution of the gratings that compose the CGH. The particular characteristics of this new type of CGH could derive higher accuracy, efficiency and lower cost for testing aspherics in comparison to other CGH employed previously by other authors. We have designed and fabricated one system and measured a 110 mmdiameter convex surface of errors 300.6 nm P-V after compensating the alignment errors. It is believed that this kind of system can be used to measure even large aperture convex surface. (C) 2004 Optical Society of America. 423 MaierKomor, P., A. Bergmaier, et al. (1997). "An UHV box coater for VUV reflective coatings on mirror substrates of up to 95 cm in diameter." Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section a-Accelerators Spectrometers Detectors and Associated Equipment 397(1): 194-199.(很有用) 最新文献报导 96 XIOPM latest Documents Report Large mirrors with excellent reflectivity in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) range down to 140 nm are needed for large area RICK detectors with CsI photocathodes. This demand can only be fulfilled with a thin homogenous aluminium layer on a substrate with very low surface roughness. Due to the base metal properties of Al an excellent vacuum is required during the evaporation-condensation process. In addition the Al film needs suitable protective layers on both surfaces. The setup of pilot plants to investigate deposition parameters are described and the design of an appropriate box coater is presented. 424 Meyer, W. W. and R. A. Woodruff Fully deployed space based telescope for astronomical observatory platforms, BALL AEROSPACE & TECHNOLOGIES CORP (BALL-Non-standard). NOVELTY - Primary reflector (128) is provided with main segment connected to secondary reflector (132) and two side segments. Optical elements are completely deployed by deployment of secondary reflector and side segments which are pivotable about axes parallel to optical axis in launch configuration. USE - For hubble space telescopes, next generation space telescopes in astronomical observatory platforms. ADVANTAGE - Using single motor, sheets are deployed after launch and thereby eliminates the need for complex and expensive number of components for full deployment. Facilitates extra atmospheric positioning of a large aperture telescope using a relatively small launch vehicle. Enables a large field of view such a 1.2 mrad by 2.9 mrad. The fast primary mirror divide number and pupil locations permit efficient packaging and high signal to noise ratios. The design of segmented primary mirror facilitates the use of mirror segments without relying on deployment mechanisms. Since useful data is obtained even in the absence of light gathering by several mirror sections, the configuration is relatively tolerant of mirror actuator failures. The substantial scalable design facilitates easy implementation without any fundamental design modification. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The telescope is fit within the payload region of the launch vehicle having a diameter of 3.6 m and is smaller than the minimum deployed diameter (6 m) after deployment of the primary reflector. Each of the segments of primary reflector has eighteen mirror sections and are arranged in two annular surrounding each other. A bus (116) with a longitudinal axis is extended between a latching end and a solar end and is movable with respect to the primary reflector between the launch configuration and a deployed configuration. With respect to the movement of the bus, sheets of a sunshield system are moved with a single motor. The sunshield system is between the primary reflector and a solar panel plane in the deployed condition. A movable antenna is mounted in the solar panel and the center of gravity is substantially within the instrument volume. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for deploying a space based telescope. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure is the perspective view of a fully deployed space telescope. Bus (116) Primary reflector (128) Secondary reflector (132) 425 Minato, A., N. Sugimoto, et al. (1992). "Optical design of cube-corner retroreflectors having curved mirror surfaces." Applied Optics 31(28): 6015-6020. The characteristics of retroreflectors that include curved mirror surfaces are theoretically investigated. The use of curved mirror surfaces in a cube-corner retroreflector is an effective method for diverging the reflected beam, especially in a large-aperture hollow retroreflector. The effect of curved surfaces is demonstrated for simple examples that give circular and elliptical wave-front patterns. The method was applied in the optical design of a satellite retroreflector in space, which is to be loaded on the Japanese polar orbit Advanced Earth Observing Satellite. 426 Morgan, R. M., G. S. Agnes, et al. (2004). The DART cylindrical, infrared, 1 meter membrane reflector. Optical Fabrication, Metrology, and Material Advancements for Telescopes. E. AtadEttedgui and P. Dierickx. 5494: 406-417. The Dual Anamorphic Reflector Telescope (DART) is an architecture for large aperture space telescopes that enables the use of membranes. A membrane can be readily shaped in one direction of curvature using a combination of boundary control and tensioning, yielding a cylindrical reflector. Two cylindrical reflectors (orthogonal and confocal) comprise the 'primary mirror' of the telescope system. The aperture is completely unobstructed and ideal for infrared and high contrast observations. The DART high precision testbed researches fabrication, assembly, adjustment and characterization of 1 meter cylindrical membrane reflectors made of copper foil or kapton. We have implemented two metrology instruments: a non-contacting, scanning profilometer and an infrared interferometer. The profilometer is a laser confocal displacement measuring unit on an XYZ scanning stage. The infrared interferometer uses a cylindrical null lens that tests a subaperture of the membrane at center of curvature. Current surface figure achieved is 25 mum rms over a 50 cm diameter aperture. 427 Mountain, M. and F. Gillett (1998). "The revolution in telescope aperture." Nature 395(6701): A23-A29.(很有用) The 40 years that have elapsed since the opening of the Kitt Peak National Observatory have seen several revolutions in astronomy. One such revolution that is often not recognized is the exponential growth in the total collecting area of large telescopes. This revolution, although ultimately driven by curiosity, has come about because of advances in computers, materials and fabrication techniques-these advances have facilitated the construction of telescopes that are not just bigger, but better as well. The enormous growth in ground-based observational capabilities that will become available over the next decade, combined with future generations of space-based telescopes, should 最新文献报导 97 XIOPM latest Documents Report contribute to dramatic changes in our understanding of the Universe. The first hints of this new understanding are already beginning to emerge, giving new directions to future telescope builders. 428 Neff, B. W., R. G. Trissel, et al. (1999). Agile beam director system design (ROBS/TCATS optical tracker). Current Developments in Optical Design and Optical Engineering Viii. R. E. Fischer and W. J. Smith. 3779: 402-412.(有用) The ROBS (Rapid Optical Beam Steering) tracking telescope was invented and developed at TTC to provide a high acceleration, large aperture beam steering system for rapid pointing to multiple objects. The optical system consists of a fast, oversized spherical primary mirror with the 50 cm aperture stop at the center of curvature of the primary mirror (CCP). A lightweight secondary mirror selects the instantaneous field of view by scanning over the petzval image surface of the primary mirror. The secondary mirror is gimbaled about the CCP on a rigid, lightweight mast. The system's symmetry about the CCP simplifies the optical and mechanical design and provides very rapid retargeting over a 30 degree field of regard for multiple target tracking. Field corrector and pupil relay optics inside the support tube collimate the light through coude' optics to passive sensors and laser radar optics. The 2-sphere, 2-asphere aplanatic, anastigmant all-reflective design corrects the 9.1 mr of spherical aberration from the F/1 primary and provides 10 microradian resolution over a 5 mr field of view. The system incorporates near field focus adjustment to provide high resolution imaging and laser ranging over a large volume of space. Two 50 cm systems have been built and demonstrated tracking multiple targets in the field. This paper describes the opto-mechanical design and demonstrated system capabilities. 429 Nicolas, J., F.

Komarova Large aperture mirror lens objective - has aberration compensator made of single bi-convex lens with correction element deposited on its surface, Leningrad Prec Mech Opti (Leop). The objective has arranged in series along the light beam path connection component (1) primary main spherical concave mirror (2) secondary small flat mirror (3) short-focal length (SFL) component (4). Initially, component (4). Initially, the light beam passes through periphery of the connection component (1), reflected from the main mirror (2) it twice passes through central zone of the component (1) before-and after from the secondary mirror (3), then it is converted by the SFL component (4) and focused in the plane of image. The lens has a focal length of 92.7mm near focal length of 3.15mm, angle of vision 12 deg. Relative aperture of 1.0.8. It is connected for the visible spectral range. USE/ADVANTAGE - Optical instrumentation in apochromatic mirror lens objectives with large apertures. Simplified design while maintaining image quality. Bul.28/30.7.85 431 Schmidt, K. and G. Schnur Large aperture reflecting optical telescope with automatic focussing - has reflector, comprising many independently adjustable elements automatically adjusted using laser beam reference, SCHMIDTKALER T (SCHM-Individual). The telescope comprises a reflecting mirror made up of a number of individually adjustable elements (11). An auxiliary light ray source coupled to sensors is used to maintain the mirror in focus automatically. The light source may be an intermittently-operated laser. The individual adjustable elements (11) may be segments of a ring in shape and may be disposed around a central fixed element (10) used as a reference element. Each element may be supported at three points, each being independently adjustable. Each support may comprise a chamber having elastic walls and filled with an in compression fluid which is subjected to pressure to provide the adjustment. 432 Seppala, L. G. (2002). "Improved optical design for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST)." Proceedings of the SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering 4836: 111-118. Presents an improved optical design for the LSST, an f/1.25 three-mirror telescope covering 3.0 degrees full field angle, with 6.9-m effective aperture diameter. The telescope operates at five wavelength bands spanning 386.5 nm to 1040 nm (B, V, R, I and Z). For all bands, 80% of the polychromatic diffracted energy is collected within 0.20 arcseconds diameter. The reflective telescope uses an 8.4-m f/1.06 concave primary, a 3.4-m convex secondary and a 5.2-m concave tertiary in a Paul geometry. The system length is 9.2 m. A refractive corrector near the detector uses three fused silica lenses, rather than the two lenses of previous designs. Earlier designs required that one element be a vacuum barrier, but now the detector sits in an inert gas at ambient pressure, with the last lens serving as the gas barrier. Small adjustments lead to optimal correction at each band. Each filter has a different axial thickness, and the primary and tertiary mirrors are repositioned for each wavelength band. Features that simplify manufacturing include a flat detector, a far less aspheric convex secondary (10 mu m from best fit sphere) and reduced aspheric departures on the lenses and tertiary mirror. Five aspheric surfaces, on all three mirrors and on two lenses, are used. The primary is nearly parabolic. The telescope is fully baffled so that no specularly reflected light from any field angle, inside or outside of the full field angle of 3.0 degrees, can reach the detector. 433 最新文献报导 98 XIOPM latest Documents Report Stolz, C. J., M. J. Runkel, et al. (2004). "Metrology of mirrors for the National Ignition Facility." Proceedings of the SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering 5341(1): 114-120.(有用) The large-aperture (up to 40 cm * 80 cm) mirrors required for the National Ignition Facility have very stringent specifications. The specifications include requirements for transmitted and reflected wavefront over a wide spectral frequency, surface quality, laser resistance, spectral characteristics, etc. In order to validate optic performance, metrology tools were fielded at optic fabrication vendors to assure production control. These tools include interferometers, large-area conditioning stations, and photometers. Of the 1800 large-aperture mirrors required for the NIF, approximately 35% have been completed. This presentation will review the types of large-aperture mirrors used on NIF along with the performance of NIF optics as measured and received from our vendors. 434 Thibault, S., S. Szapiel, et al. (1997). Development of a telecentric 3D sensor for large volume inspection. ThreeDimensional Imaging and Laser-Based Systems for Metrology and Inspection Iii. K. G. Harding and D. J. Svetkoff. 3204: 126-136.(无用) In this communication we propose a design combining the advantages of the space invariance of telecentric triangulation with high relative lateral resolution and large measuring volume at the same time. Because the scan motion of the laser beam is decoupled from physical transport of the sensor head, this enables the fast scan in large volume. However we need a large aperture optics as large as the scan areas. We used a liquid mirror as aperture for this scanner. The surface da spinning reflecting liquid takes the shape of a paraboloid that can be used as a reflecting mirror. This very old and nearly forgotten concept has recently been revived, with success. Low costs, large sizes, high optical qualities are the main advantages of liquid mirrors, The main limitation of liquid mirrors come from the fact that the optical axis must be aligned vertically and cannot be tilted. The prototype involves a stand-off distance of 1.5 meters. a scan length up to 1 meter (telecentric), a depth of view of 1 meter and a relative depth resolution of 1 mm (can be less). The design is based on the auto-synchronized scanner and is well corrected for field scanning distortion (f-theta). 435 Tokumura, K., M. Nakatsuka, et al. Formation of optical surface for lens or mirror - by coating optical glass matrix with resin, the optical surface having appropriate transmitted or received wave surface, SANENO T (SANE-Individual) NIPPON HIKYUMEN LENS KK (NIHI-Non-standard) NIPPON ASPHERICAL LENS CO LTD (NIAS-Nonstandard). An optical surface is formed by coating a resin for an optical element on the surface of a matrix consisting of optical glass. The optical surface is formed in a shape directed to an appropriate transmitted wave surface or a reflected wave surface. USE - The optical surface is used for a lens or a mirror and finds its application in high performance optical lens, projectors requiring a large aperture optical element, large laser devices or lithographic devices. ADVANTAGE - The method readily forms a high accuracy non-spherical surface. The optical surface has an appropriate transmitted wave surface or reflected wave surface. 436 Tolomeo, J., G. Cross, et al. (2002). Design and test of a prototype DART system. Highly Innovative Space Telescope Concepts. H. A. MacEwen. 4849: 8-16. A 1.2-meter prototype Dual Anamorphic Reflector Telescope (DART) system has been built and tested. The key design feature of the telescope is a pair of membrane mirrors stretched to single curvature parabolic cylindrical sections. The parabolic figure of the mirrors is controlled by a pair of edge rails at two opposing ends of the membrane. The flexible edge rails are adjusted to parabolic to very high accuracy and can potentially be easily refigured on-orbit. The prototype telescope is lightweight and has demonstrated excellent optical performance for the farIR. The design is readily scalable to larger apertures and for operation at shorter wavelengths. Design and test results are discussed. 437 Willey, G. W. and R. J. Patchin (1993). "OPTICAL DESIGN ANALYSIS INCORPORATING ACTUAL SYSTEM INTERFEROMETRIC DATA." Optical Engineering 32(2): 401-409. Interferometric measurements of real surfaces are combined with computed optical design analyses. To accomplish this, a special software interface driver was developed to accept serial optical path difference (OPD) data from a Zygo Mark III interferometer, to apply standard algorithms, and convert the measured data into a CODE V readable file. Analysis is conducted on a large-aperture developmental optical system containing a fold mirror of eggcrate construction. MTF performance of the entire system is computed as are the contributions of individual measured surfaces to overall optical quality. Diffraction effects resulting from the rib structure of the eggcrate mirror are isolated in the analysis, as are the effects of gravity and figure components of the wavefront. The hybrid analysis demonstrates the usefulness of coupling interferometry with an optical design program in the analysis of complex optical systems. 438 Wuerker, R. F. (1999). "Liquid Mirror Telescope applications." Proceedings of the SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering 3749: 88-88. 最新文献报导 99 XIOPM latest Documents Report Summary form only given. The advent of inexpensive large aperture near diffraction limited Liquid Mirror Telescopes (LMT's) makes possible applications not sensitive to their near vertical viewing nature; such as, astronomical surveys, space debris surveys, lidar collectors, and laser radiation concentrators, for plasma creation experiments in the sky. LMTs are easily an order of magnitude less expensive than a polished glass reflectors, which are only approximations to the naturally perfect parabolic surface created by a rotating liquid. Highly reflecting liquid mercury is easily cleaned and safe when handled correctly. The UCLA Plasma Physics Laboratory has a 2.7 Meter diameter (105 inch) Liquid Mirror Telescope at its HIPAS Observatory near Fairbanks Alaska at 64 degrees 52.4' latitude and 146 degrees 50.6' east longitude. 439 Yoon, G. Y., T. Jitsuno, et al. (1997). Development of a large aperture deformable mirror for the wavefront control. Second Annual International Conference on Solid State Lasers for Application to Inertial Confinement Fusion. M. L. Andre. 3047: 777-782. A large aperture deformable mirror for correcting the wavefront distortion and controlling the intensity profile of laser beam is presented. The mirror diameter and thickness are 400 mn and 8 mm, respectively. 37 actuators are glued hexagonally on the back surface of the mirror. The mechanical actuator has been designed and fabricated for producing strong force of 300 N in both pushing and pulling process. The initial reflective wavefront of the deformable mirror is lambda/6 (lambda is 633 nm) in rms value. The application to x-ray laser experiment of the deformable mirror is successful for a uniform line focus pattern by the wavefront control. 440 Zhang, J. W., Y. Zhou, et al. (2006). Research on stress-free design of large aperture optical reflector. Proceedings of the International Conference on Mechanical Transmissions, Vols 1 and 2. Q. Datong, C. Bingkui and L. Chao: 11701173. Stress-free clamp design is an important measure to decrease deformation of a large aperture reflector caused by deadweight. This paper analyzes the supporting position by way of a simulating analyze method when a reflector is supported by two different methods, one method is to support at the bottom and the second method is to support on the sides. This paper concludes that the position of the supporting point has a great influence on the deformation of the reflector and. the uniformity of the stress. Considering the deformation of a mirror and the uniformity of the stress, the best supporting position should be at the center about 2/3 times of the border length in both methods and the inclined angle of the reflector has the least influence on the system when supported by this way. 441 Zverev, V. A., A. V. Bakholdin, et al. (2001). "Optical system of a high-aperture telescope." Journal of Optical Technology 68(6): 381-387. This paper shows that an afocal system of Keplerian type, consisting of two concave reflecting surfaces, the first of which is spherical while the second is nonspherical, in combination with a concave reflective surface of paraboloidal shape, can provide aplanatic correction of aberrations. Using as an example an optical system with a primary mirror 25 m in diameter, it is shown that successively replacing the reflecting paraboloid with two-mirror and three-mirror systems makes it possible to increase the angular field of the image and to obtain acceptable image quality within an angular field of as much as 5 '.
