Metal-defined polymeric variable optical attenuator

A variable optical attenuator (VOA) based on a metal-defined polymeric optical waveguide has been demonstrated for the first time. The metal film stressor deposited on top of the upper cladding layer not only produces the refractive index change within the core layer, but also acts as a thin-film heater allowing thermal tuning of the optical power within a metal-defined optical waveguide. Fabricated devices exhibit greater than 25 dB of optical attenuation with an applied electrical current of /spl sim/40 mA at 1550-nm wavelength. The switching speed of the VOA exhibits 800 /spl mu/s of rising and 720 /spl mu/s of falling time.     

采用ZVS条件控制的DC-DC同步整流技术

以Buck结构DC-DC为例,结合仿真波形分析了DC-DC一个开关周期4个阶段的电流电压情况,证明由ZVS条件控制MOS管的导通和断开是损耗最小的。由此提出了两种实现ZVS控制的电路拓扑：同步反馈控制以及由程序综合的控制电路。并与自适应控制进行了比较。同步反馈控制利用时钟和ZVS条件,结合MUX实现了导通和关断的理想波形。由程序综合的控制电路以PWM控制和ZVS控制为目标,并由时钟同步,实现了对驱动波形的控制。     

几种图像数据隐藏方法的比较研究

近年来,图像数据隐藏技术得到了突飞猛进的发展,得到了很多鼓舞人心的成果。在图像隐藏技术中,使用最多的图像嵌入规则有三种:加法嵌入规则、乘法嵌入规则以及基于融合技术的图像嵌入规则。本文对这三种图像嵌入规则的性能进行了分析和研究,通过比较我们发现,如果将图像隐藏过程看作是一个水印信道模型,则基于融合技术的图像嵌入规则所能隐藏的信息量远远高于另两种嵌入规则,而乘法嵌入规则其水印信道容量不受原始图像DCT系数标准差变化的影响,因此,在原始图像DCT系数标准差不稳定的情况下,采用乘法嵌入规则是一个好的选择。     

数据库需要专业的安全审计与评估——访清华大学软件学院罗平教授

鉴于近几年数据库遭遇威胁和攻击的事件越来越频繁、越来越严重,使得数据和数据库安全无疑成为当前信息网络安全中一个比较热的焦点话题。由于数据库终端始终是处于“持续加入”中的状态,并且鉴于目前网络安全防护技术的局限性,数据库系统中存在的大量漏洞引起的对数据库攻击不容易被检测和发现,这些都为数据库的安全保障带来了不少难题。前不久也有业内人士提出“树立全民数据安全意识”的理念。

Spatial and Orientational Templating of Semiconducting Polymers in a Cholesteric Liquid Crystal

A one‐dimensional pattern‐forming state of a cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) is used as a template for the self‐organization of ordered, spatially orientated, acetylene‐based semiconducting polymers. The polymers are formed by metathesis reaction with all chemical components contained in an ordinary electro‐optic cell. The polymer morphology consists of parallel ～ 1 μm thick bundles, uniformly spaced at ～ 10 μm over the full macroscopic active area of the cell substrates. The polymer templating can be explained by a model that predicts a corrugation in polymer density determined by the spatially periodic profile of the orientational energy density associated with the pattern‐forming CLC state.     

UWB LNA的增益平坦化及稳定性的反馈技术

从异质结晶体管(HBT)的小信号模型着手,得到了几种不同反馈形式下HBT的S参数解析表达式。通过对比不同反馈形式的仿真结果,分析了各种反馈形式对S参数的影响,并着重研究了反馈技术对电路稳定性以及对超宽带低噪声放大器(UWB LNA)增益平坦度的影响。结果表明,采用串联电阻和电感或并联电阻和电容的电抗性负反馈,可以使S21的幅度随着频率的增大而逐渐上升,从而补偿了晶体管本身高频增益的下降,同时,也提高了整个电路的稳定性。采用这种反馈结构,设计了一款3～10 GHz超宽带低噪声放大器。仿真结果表明,该放大器在整个频带范围内无条件稳定,传输增益较高,增益平坦度较好,噪声系数较低,是一款无条件稳定并有着较好增益平坦度的超宽带低噪声放大器。     

Balanced pulses in two outputs of quantum photonic chip

Silica planar lightwave circuit (PLC) devices can offer great potential for quantum key distribution (QKD) with benefits of low-loss, low-cost, large-scale integration, miniaturization, stability and mass production. A complementary encoding-decoding system for QKD based on silica PLC technology was demonstrated, achieving two channels that have balanced outputs simultaneously. This system is consisted of two chips, and each chip is consisted of a variable optical splitter (VOS), an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer (AMZI) with a thermo-optic phase modulator (TOPM), a delay line (DL), and a directional coupler (DC). The measured delay times of pulse-pairs for two chips are 396 ps and 398 ps, respectively, and the system has shown relatively high interference visibility (IV) of 93.5% and 91.3% for two channels, respectively.     

Phototunable Underwater Oil Adhesion of Micro/Nanoscale Hierarchical‐Structured ZnO Mesh Films with Switchable Contact Mode

Controllable surface adhesion of solid substrates has aroused great interest both in air and underwater in solving many challenging interfacial science problems such as robust antifouling, oil‐repellent, and highly efficient oil/water separation materials. Recently, responsive surface adhesion, especially switchable adhesion, under external stimulus in air has been paid more and more attention in fundamental research and industrial applications. However, phototunable underwater oil adhesion is still a challenge. Here, an approach to realize phototunable underwater oil adhesion on aligned ZnO nanorod array‐coated films is reported, via a special switchable contact mode between an unstable liquid/gas/solid tri‐phase contact mode and stable liquid/liquid/solid tri‐phase contact mode. The photo‐induced wettability transition to water and air exists (or does not) in the micro/nanoscale hierarchical structure of the mesh films, playing important role in controlling the underwater oil adhesion behavior. This work is promising in the design of novel interfacial materials and functional devices for practical applications such as photo‐induced underwater oil manipulation and release, with loss‐free oil droplet transportation.
