针对阴影造成的低光照、低对比度和高噪声等问题,为提高阴影下目标的检测、识别精度,借鉴生物偏振视觉机理,在偏振距离理论及算法的基础上,提出一种与“色调-饱和度-强度”颜色空间(HSI color space)融合的偏振距离强度(PDI)模型。该模型利用偏振角信息作为估算方式设定阈值范围,将偏振距离信息与原始光强信息融合为新的强度通道,并与原始色调及饱和度信息融合,最终获取PDI模型映射结果。搭建实测实验装置,并开展4组对比实验。结果表明,与其他3种现有目标增强算法相比,所提算法在灰度对比度、信杂比和Fish距离指标上均取得显著提升,能够使阴影下目标与背景间的差异得到明显提高。

Since the discovery of topological insulators, topological phases have generated considerable attention across the physics community. The superlattices in particular offer a rich system with several degrees of freedom to explore a variety of topological characteristics and control the localization of states. Albeit their importance, characterizing topological invariants in superlattices consisting of a multi-band structure is challenging beyond the basic case of two-bands as in the Su–Schreifer–Heeger model. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the direct measurement of the topological character of chiral superlattices with broken inversion symmetry. Using a CMOS-compatible nanophotonic chip, we probe the state evolving in the system along the propagation direction using novel nanoscattering structures. We employ a two-waveguide bulk excitation scheme to the superlattice, enabling the identification of topological zero-energy modes through measuring the beam displacement. Our measurements reveal quantized beam displacement corresponding to 0.088 and -0.245, in the cases of trivial and nontrivial photonic superlattices, respectively, showing good agreement with the theoretical values of 0 and -0.25. Our results provide direct identification of the quantized topological numbers in superlattices using a single-shot approach, paving the way for direct measurements of topological invariants in complex photonic structures using tailored excitations with Wannier functions.

上转换纳米粒子(UCNPs)因其具有强生物穿透性、 大斯托克位移、 良好的光稳定性和生物相容性等优点而被广泛应用于生物医药分析领域。 通过聚丙烯酸(PAA)对油酸(OA)配体的上转换纳米粒子(OA-UCNPs)进行表面改性得到亲水性纳米粒子 PAA-UCNPs, 再通过酰胺化反应将适配体(Apt)共价偶联到PAA-UCNPs表面得到Apt-UCNPs并将其作为能量供体, 以黑洞猝灭剂(BHQ1)作为能量受体, 构建了一种基于荧光共振能量转移特异性检测磺胺二甲氧嘧啶(SDM)的方法。 通过红外光谱(FTIR)及扫描电镜(SEM)对OA-UCNPs、 PAA以及PAA-UCNPs的结构和性能进行了表征。 从红外光谱中可以看出, 相比较于OA-UCNPs, PAA-UCNPs于1 722 cm-1处出现了新峰, 可能为PAA的-C=O伸缩振动峰, 且在3 400 cm-1附近存在的宽带可能归因于PAA中O—H伸缩振动; 从扫描电镜实验结果可以看出, PAA修饰前分散在环己烷中的OA-UCNPs尺寸约为31 nm, 而PAA修饰后分散在水溶液中的UCNPs直径约为49 nm。 分析认为长链的PAA分子体积比油酸分子大, 因此包覆在UCNPs表面会使其尺寸增加, 以上结果均表明PAA可能已被修饰到UCNPs表面。 通过紫外可见光谱对Apt-UCNPs、 Apt及PAA-UCNPs的结构进行了表征。 结果发现相对于PAA-UCNPs, Apt-UCNPs的紫外吸收光谱在260 nm处出现了较明显的Apt特征吸收峰, 这表明适配体可能已被修饰到UCNPs表面。 对Apt-UCNPs用于检测SDM的机理进行了初步探讨, 结果发现Apt-UCNPs在540 nm的发射峰与BHQ1的吸收峰发生重叠, 表明Apt-UCNPs上的能量可通过共振能量转移效应转移到BHQ1使得Apt-UCNPs的荧光被猝灭。 对猝灭剂BHQ1的浓度进行了优化, 结果表明当BHQ1浓度为15 μmol·L-1时, 荧光猝灭效率为55%。 在最佳实验条件下, 相对荧光强度与SDM浓度(150~1 000 ng·mL-1)之间具有良好的线性关系, 选取与SDM 结构相似的磺胺吡啶和磺胺醋酰作对照实验, 发现尽管磺胺吡啶和磺胺醋酰的浓度达到了 500 ng·mL-1, 但其检测体系中相较于加入SDM后的荧光强度恢复程度仍然较低, 这说明该检测方法可对SDM有特异性识别作用。

An ultrawideband, polarization-insensitive, metamaterial absorber for oblique angle of incidence is presented using characteristic mode analysis. The absorber consists of conductive meander square loops and symmetric bent metallic strips, which are embedded with lumped resistors. With the aid of modal currents and modal weighting coefficients, the positions of the lumped resistors are determined. After that, the equivalent circuit (EC) model and admittance formula are proposed and analyzed to further understand the working principle and ultrawide bandwidth. The proposed absorber measures an absorption bandwidth of 4.3–26.5 GHz (144.1% in fractional bandwidth) for 90% absorptivity under normal incidence. At the oblique angle of incidence of 45°, the bandwidth of 90% absorptivity is still 5.1–21.3 GHz (122.72%) for transverse electric (TE) polarization, and 6.8–29.5 GHz (125.07%) for transverse magnetic (TM) polarization. The good agreement among simulation, measurement, and EC calculation demonstrates the validity of the proposed method and indicates that the method can be applied to other microwave and optical frequency bands. The proposed metamaterial absorber can be widely applied in electromagnetic compatibility, electromagnetic interference, radar stealth, and biomedical detection.

针对铜/不锈钢异种材料激光焊接过程中的物理性能差异较大、冶金相容性较差等问题,利用光学显微镜、扫描电子显微镜、能谱仪,结合拉伸、硬度等试验研究了不同光束偏移量对焊接接头组织及性能的影响。结果表明:焊缝在金属蒸发作用力及马兰戈尼对流效应的共同影响下呈半沙漏状形貌;光束偏向铜侧时,焊缝由于液相分离导致富铁相弥散分布,造成焊缝成分和硬度分布不均匀,熔覆金属中铜的含量较多使得接头强度较低;光束偏向钢侧时焊缝组织为奥氏体和富铜相,焊接接头的强度较高,抗拉强度最高可达240 MPa,与铜母材相当;当光束偏移量为-0.4 mm时,可得到综合性能最优的焊接接头。

Dynamic localization, which originates from the phenomena of particle evolution suppression under an externally applied AC electric field, has been simulated by suppressed light evolution in periodically curved photonic arrays. However, experimental studies on their quantitative dynamic transport properties and application for quantum information processing are rare. Here we fabricate one-dimensional and hexagonal two-dimensional arrays both with sinusoidal curvatures. We successfully observe the suppressed single-photon evolution patterns, and for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, measure the variances to study their transport properties. For one-dimensional arrays, the measured variances match both the analytical electric-field calculation and the quantum walk Hamiltonian engineering approach. For hexagonal arrays as anisotropic effective couplings in four directions are mutually dependent, the analytical approach suffers, whereas quantum walk conveniently incorporates all anisotropic coupling coefficients in the Hamiltonian and solves its exponential as a whole, yielding consistent variances with our experimental results. Furthermore, we implement a nearly complete localization to show that it can preserve both the initial injection and the wave packet after some evolution, acting as a memory of a flexible time scale in integrated photonics. We demonstrate a useful quantum simulation of dynamic localization for studying their anisotropic transport properties and a promising application of dynamic localization as a building block for quantum information processing in integrated photonics.
