Connected sensor cover: self-organization of sensor networks for efficient query execution

Spatial query execution is an essential functionality of a sensor network, where a query gathers sensor data within a specific geographic region. Redundancy within a sensor network can be exploited to reduce the communication cost incurred in execution of such queries. Any reduction in communication cost would result in an efficient use of the battery energy, which is very limited in sensors. One approach to reduce the communication cost of a query is to self-organize the network, in response to a query, into a topology that involves only a small subset of the sensors sufficient to process the query. The query is then executed using only the sensors in the constructed topology. The self-organization technique is beneficial for queries that run sufficiently long to amortize the communication cost incurred in self-organization. In this paper, we design and analyze algorithms for suchself-organization of a sensor network to reduce energy consumption. In particular, we develop the notion of a connected sensor cover and design a centralized approximation algorithm that constructs a topology involving a near-optimal connected sensor cover. We prove that the size of the constructed topology is within an O(logn) factor of the optimal size, where n is the network size. We develop a distributed self-organization version of the approximation algorithm, and propose several optimizations to reduce the communication overhead of the algorithm. We also design another distributed algorithm based on node priorities that has a further lower communication overhead, but does not provide any guarantee on the size of the connected sensor cover constructed. Finally, we evaluate the distributed algorithms using simulations and show that our approaches results in significant communication cost reductions.

半导体激光线阵弯曲矫正方法的理论分析与实验

半导体激光线阵(LDB)在制作和封装过程中会发生弯曲,从而引起发光弯曲,即"smile",这影响其在抽运固体激光和外腔半导体激光阵列线宽窄化中的使用.利用平凸柱面镜在一定程度上可矫正半导体激光线阵的"smile".通过几何光学方法对平凸柱面镜矫正半导体激光线阵的"smile"进行理论分析,利用不同焦距平凸柱面镜对不同半导体激光线阵的"smile"进行矫正,并通过ORIGIN软件对"smile"的矫正进行模拟,其结果与实验相吻合.结果显示,抛物线状"smile"矫正效果很好,相对矫正量高达90%,选择合适小焦距平凸柱面镜对"smile"矫正较明显且模拟误差小,修正透镜焦距参数可减小误差.

Controllable persistent spin-polarized charge current in a Rashba ring

We theoretically predict the appearance of a persistent charge current in a Rashba ring with a normal and a ferromagnetic lead under no external bias. This charge current is the result of the breaking of the time inversion symmetry in the original persistent pure spin current induced by the Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC) in the ring due to the existence of the ferromagnetic lead. With the Keldysh Green''s function technique, we find that not only the magnitude and sign but also the spin polarization of the generated charge current is determined by the system parameters such as the magnetization direction of the ferromagnetic lead, the tunneling coefficient, the strength of the RSOC and the exchange energy of the ferromagnetic lead, which are all tunable in experiments, that is, a controllable persistent spin-polarized charge current can be obtained in such a device.

Modification of emission wavelength in organic random lasers based on photonic glass

Control of the emission wavelength of a random laser (RL) system over a 7-nm waveband is demonstrated using a green-emitting π-conjugated polymer infiltrated into a photonic glass formed by nano/micro-size monodisperse silica spheres. The use of a solution-based conjugated polymer enables the complete filling of the voids within the photonic glass without suffering from quenching and the gain can therefore be maximized. The emission wavelength of these structures is set by a combination of the material system spectral gain and of the transport mean free path, the latter being controlled by the mean diameter of the spheres in the nano-scale range. Transport mean free paths of photons in the RL’s active region are calculated using Mie scattering theory and corroborated with coherent backscattering measurements. Further wavelength modification is also possible by changing the pump spot size and the pump fluence.
