Studies on Fast Algorithm for the Scattering of a Large Array of Waveguide-Fed Wide-Slot Antennas in Millimeter Wave Region

We present an effective numerical technique to characterize the scattering of wide-slot antennas fed by waveguides with arbitrary terminations in terms of the method of moment (MoM) and the mixed potential integral equation (MPIE). In particular, the precorrected-fast Fourier transform (P-FFT) eliminates the need to generate and store the usual square impedance matrix andthus leads to speed up the matrix-vector multiplication in the resultant system. This property makes the Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) functions to be useful in simulating electrically large-scale problems. In addition, the scattering from the finite ground surfaces is accounted for in the total scattered field by using the method of equivalent edge currents. The numerical results are presented and compared with both the traditional method of moment results obtained using the entire-domain basis functions and the experimental results, to demonstrate the proposed method to be a good candidate for study on the scattering of arbitrary wide-slot large array.     

Room-temperature electroluminescence of p-ZnxMg（1-x）O：Na/n-ZnO p-n junction light emitting diode

p-ZnxMg1-xO：Na/n-ZnO p-n junction light emitting diode （LED） was produced on n-ZnO （0001） single-crystal substrate using pulsed laser deposition. The realization of band gap engineering was achieved by the incor-poration of Mg in ZnO layers and was confirmed by photoluminescence spectrum. The p-type ZnxMg1-xO：Na film with low resistance was obtained at 500 ℃ and in which, Na has taken effect evidenced by Hall and X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy measurements. The current-voltage curve of LED showed a rectifying behavior and obvious electroluminescence was realized by feeding a direct current up to 40 mA. Furthermore, its structural and electric characters are discussed as well.     

Speech Enhancement Algorithm Based on MMSE Short Time Spectral Amplitude in Whispered Speech

An improved method based on minimum mean square error-short time spectral amplitude （MMSE-STSA） is proposed to cancel background noise in whispered speech. Using the acoustic character of whispered speech, the algorithm can track the change of non-stationary background noise effectively. Compared with original MMSE-STSA algorithm and method in selectable mode Vo-coder （SMV）, the improved algorithm can further suppress the residual noise for low signal-to-noise radio （SNR） and avoid the excessive suppression. Simulations show that under the non-stationary noisy environment, the proposed algorithm can not only get a better performance in enhancement, but also reduce the speech distortion.     

A NEW DEFORMABLE MODEL USING LEVEL SETS FOR SHAPE SEGMENTALTION

In this paper,we present a new deformable model for shape segmentation,which makes two modifications to the original level set implementation of deformable models.The modifications are motivated by difficulties that we have encountered in applying deformable models to segmentation of medical images.The level set algorithm has some advantages over the classical snake deformable models.However,it could develop large gaps in the boundary and holes within the objects.Such boundary gaps and holes of objects can cause inaccurate segmentation that requires manual correction.The proposed method in this paper possesses an inherent property to detect gaps and holes within the object with a single initial contour and also does not require specific initialization.The first modification is to replace the edge detector by some area constraint,and the second modification utilizes weighted length constraint to regularize the curve under evolution.The proposed method has been applied to both synthetic and real images with promising results.

基于全固型掺镱光子带隙光纤的被动锁模全光纤环形孤子激光器

采用全固型掺镱光子带隙光纤(AS-Yb-PBGF)作增益介质并提供反常群速色散(GVD),设计了一种被动锁模全光纤环形孤子激光器。没有使用任何块状色散补偿元件。因此,该激光器腔型结构简单、紧凑、环境稳定性高,更容易实现全光纤结构。脉冲在激光腔内的传输用广义非线性薛定谔方程描述,并采用分步傅里叶方法数值模拟了该激光器的单孤子运转的动力学过程。计算时,将AS-Yb-PBGF的长度选取为0.4m,改变激光腔内单模光纤(SMF)的长度,得出了最佳运转参数:当AS-Yb-PBGF固定为0.4 m时,选择单模光纤等于0.4 m,就可以实现脉冲宽度为244 fs,脉冲能量为14 pJ和时间带宽乘积为0.32,即接近傅里叶变换极限的单孤子运转。

Large‐Area Silver‐Coated Silicon Nanowire Arrays for Molecular Sensing Using Surface‐Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

A new and facile method to prepare large‐area silver‐coated silicon nanowire arrays for surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)‐based sensing is introduced. High‐quality silicon nanowire arrays are prepared by a chemical etching method and used as a template for the generation of SERS‐active silver‐coated silicon nanowire arrays. The morphologies of the silicon nanowire arrays and the type of silver‐plating solution are two key factors determining the magnitude of SERS signal enhancement and the sensitivity of detection; they are investigated in detail for the purpose of optimization. The optimized silver‐coated silicon nanowire arrays exhibit great potential for ultrasensitive molecular sensing in terms of high SERS signal enhancement ability, good stability, and reproducibility. Their further applications in rapidly detecting molecules relating to human health and safety are discussed. A 10 s data acquisition time is capable of achieving a limit of detection of approximately 4 × 10^?6 M calcium dipicolinate (CaDPA), a biomarker for anthrax. This value is 1/15 the infectious dose of spores (6 × 10^?5 M required), revealing that the optimized silver‐coated silicon nanowire arrays as SERS‐based ultrasensitive sensors are extremely suitable for detecting Bacillus anthracis spores.
