Traveling wave method for calculation of linewidth, frequencytuning, and stability of semiconductor lasers

The authors present a new traveling wave method for calculating the linewidth, the frequency tuning efficiency, and a mode stability parameter for a general class of laser-diode structures. The method leads to simple semianalytic expressions which allow an easy numerical determination of the three parameters     

双噁唑啉化合物对PBT的增粘作用

以２．２＇－双（２－唑啉）和双（２－唑啉基）苯作扩链剂，用焙融挤出的方法，对聚对苯二甲酸丁二酯（ＰＢＴ）进行扩链，考察扩链剂的用量、反应时间和反应温度对ＰＢＴ的特性粘度及端羧基含量（ＣＶ）的影响。结果表明，当用２，２＇－双（２－唑啉）作扩链剂时，ＰＢＴ的特性粘度［η］从０．７９９提高到０．９２６ｄＬ／ｇ，ＣＶ降至５ｅｑ／１０￣６ｇ以下；当用双（２－　唑啉基）苯作扩链剂，［η］从０．７６３增至０．９２５ｄＬ／ｇ，ＣＶ降至１０ｅｑ／１０￣６ｇ以下，达到了较满意的扩链效果。     

压力容器标准对不等厚板材对接要求的分析

活性炭载体的超声波处理对Pt／C催化剂活性的影响分析

通过对活性炭载体进行不同条件的超声波处理获得了具有不同表面化学性质的载体，使用比表面积（BET）、酸碱滴定等技术手段对载体的物理化学性质进行了表征。将经过超声波处理的活性炭载体制备成Pt／C催化剂，并将催化剂直接用于催化反应，考察了活性炭载体的不同超声波处理条件对Pt／C催化剂性能的影响。实验发现，活性炭载体经过超声波处理后，表面灰分含量、pH值和中孔孔容有较大的变化；使用经过60min超声波处理后中孔孔容较大的活性炭作为载体制备的Pt／C催化剂，在催化加氢反应性能测试中显示了最高的催化活性。在此基础上，就活性炭载体的超声波处理对Pt／C催化剂活性的影响进行了讨论。     

A Generic Pigment Model for Digital Painting

We propose a generic pigment model suitable for digital painting in a wide range of genres including traditional Chinese painting and water-based painting. The model embodies a simulation of the pigment-water solution and its interaction with the brush and the paper at the level of pigment particles; such a level of detail is needed for achieving highly intricate effects by the artist. The simulation covers pigment diffusion and sorption processes at the paper surface, and aspects of pigment particle deposition on the paper. We follow rules and formulations from quantitative studies of adsorption and diffusion processes in surface chemistry and the textile industry. The result is a pigment model that spans a continuum from the very wet to the very dry brush stroke effects. We also propose a new pigment mixing method based on machine learning techniques to emulate pigment mixing in real life as well as to support the creation of new artificial pigments. To experiment with the proposed model, we embedded the model in a sophisticated digital brush system. The combined system exhibits interactive speed on a modest PC platform. http://www.cs.hku.hk/~songhua/pigment provides supplementary materials for this paper.     

Simple autocorrelation technique based on degree-of-polarization measurement

We demonstrate a simple optical-fiber-based autocorrelator for picosecond short pulses based on degree-of-polarization measurement while tuning the relative delay of the two orthogonal polarization states of the pulse. The pulsewidths of 20-, 40-, and 80-GHz pulse trains and 2-ps pulses generated by a mode-locked laser are measured. The <-10-dBm optical powers are used in the experiment. The measurement results agree well with the measurements using conventional techniques. Compared with conventional autocorrelators, this technique has the advantages of 1) wavelength independent, 2) significant less alignment, and 3) no high power required.     

Correction for photon attenuation in SPECT: analytical framework, average attenuation factors, and a new hybrid approach

We provide a unified framework for the investigation of convergence properties of the iterative algorithms for photon attenuation correction in SPECT, including the iterative Chang method--a commonly used approach in which an average attenuation factor calculated over all projection angles is employed in a pointwise correction scheme. A new average attenuation factor calculated along the projection line is introduced, which can compensate exactly for the attenuation effect in the case of a uniform activity distribution. We propose a new hybrid approach in which we use this new average attenuation factor initially and then shift to the iterative Chang method in later iterations. This hybrid approach was evaluated in a simulation study by use of a computer-generated phantom with both non-uniform activity and non-uniform attenuation distributions. The results demonstrate that this hybrid approach improves the convergence speed of the iterative Chang method and produces reconstructed images of high quality.
