Development of augmented reality system for AFM-based nanomanipulation

Using atomic force microscopy (AFM) as a nanomanipulation tool has been discussed for more than a decade. However, its lack of real-time visual feedback during manipulation has hindered its wide application. Fortunately, this problem has been overcome by our recently developed augmented reality system. By locally updating the AFM image based on real-time force information during manipulation, not only can this new system provide real-time force feedback but also real-time visual feedback. The real-time visual display combined with the real-time force feedback provides an augmented reality environment, in which the operator not only can feel the interaction forces but also observe the real-time changes of the nano-environment. This augmented reality system capable of nanolithography and manipulation of nano-particles helps the operator to perform several operations without the need of a new image scan, which makes AFM-based nano-assembly feasible and applicable.     

Broad-band distributed Bragg reflectors with photorefractive Ti : Cu : LiNbO/sub 3/ waveguide gratings

We have realized broad-band distributed Bragg reflectors with photorefractive gratings recorded at 441.6 nm in channel Ti : Cu : LiNbO/sub 3/ waveguides. Proton-assisted copper exchange is used to enable a high level of copper doping and, thereby, achieve an extremely large modulation of refractive index (/spl ges/ 5/sup */10/sup -4/) within a photorefractive grating. Experimental structures demonstrate reflectivities up to 17% with full-width at half-maximum bandwidths in excess of 1.2 nm at center wavelengths around 1.55 /spl mu/m.

Minimizing the phase noise of signals generated by the indirect frequency synthesizer in the specified frequency detuning range

An algorithm for structural and parametric synthesis of wideband pulsed phase-locked loop frequency synthesizers, which relies on optimal Wiener filtering performed under the action of nonlocalized perturbations with polynomial power spectral densities, is proposed. It is assumed that the synthesis criterion is the minimum level of signal phase fluctuations in the specified range of frequency mismatches.

A Novel Genetic Algorithm for the Design of a Signed Power-of-Two Coefficient Quadrature Mirror Filter Lattice Filter Bank

A novel genetic algorithm (GA) for the design of a canonical signed power-of-two (SPT) coefficient lattice structure quadrature mirror filter bank is presented in this paper. Genetic operations may render the SPT representation of a value noncanonical. In this paper, a new encoding scheme is introduced to encode the SPT values. In this new scheme, the canonical property of the SPT values is preserved under genetic operations. Additionally, two new features that drastically improve the performance of our GA are introduced. (1) An additional level of natural selection is introduced to simulate the effect of natural selection when sperm cells compete to fertilize an ovule; this dramatically improves the offspring survival rate. A conventional GA is analogous to intracytoplasmic sperm injection and has an extremely low offspring survival rate, resulting in very slow convergence. (2) The probability of mutation for each codon of a chromosome is weighted by the reciprocal of its effect. Because of these new features, the performance of our new GA outperforms conventional GAs.     

Low-temperature time-resolved photoluminescence in InGaN/GaN quantum wells

The results of the investigation of low-temperature time-resolved photoluminescence in undoped and Si-doped In_0.2Ga_0.8N/GaN structures, which contain 12 quantum wells of width 60 Å separated by barriers of width 60 Å, are reported. The structures were grown by the MOCVD technique on sapphire substrates. The photoluminescence properties observed are explained by the manifestation of two-dimensional donor-acceptor recombination. These properties are the high-energy shift of the peak upon increasing the pumping intensity, a low-energy shift with increasing delay time, and a power law of luminescence decay of the t ^-γ type. The estimates of the total binding energy for donor and acceptor centers are given. This energy is 340 and 250 meV for Si-doped and undoped quantum wells, respectively. The role of the mosaic structure, which is typical for Group III hexagonal nitrides, is discussed as a factor favorable for the formation of donor-acceptor pairs.
