Analyzing Semicircular Groove Guide with the Conformal Mapping Technique

Semicircular groove guide is a kind of waveguide for millimeter waves. In this paper, a conformal mapping technique is used to analyze it. Several semicircular groove guides are calculated with the method. It is shown that their cutoff wavelength calculated by the method are very close to those calculated by the transverse resonance method.     

An optical IM/FSK coding technique for the implementation of a label-controlled arrayed waveguide packet router

In this paper, we present a new concept of optical packet/burst switching suitable for generalized multiprotocol label switched (GMPLS)-based optical networks. In such networks, optical labeled switched paths are being established in a similar way as label-switched paths in MPLS. We use a wavelength label as well as an orthogonally modulated label, with respect to the payload modulation format, and which is encoded using either frequency-shift keying (FSK) or differential phase-shift keying (DPSK). Wavelength is used for switching in the node, whereas the orthogonal label defines the label-switched path. We present both simulation and experimental results to assess transmission performance of the proposed combined modulation scheme. In addition, we propose a suitable optical node architecture that can take advantage of this stacked label concept. Toward this, we use widely tunable wavelength converters to efficiently route IM/FSK (or IM/DPSK) optically labeled packets in an arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG)-based node structure. We present performance simulation results in terms of packet loss ratio and internal block probability. Internal blocking is an inherent problem of AWG optical routers, and a specific wavelength assignment algorithm has been developed to minimize it. Finally, the feasibility of IM/FSK transmission is experimentally demonstrated over an 88-km single-mode fiber span, and novel aspects of FSK generation and detection techniques are presented.     

Gaussian Mixture Model-Based Bayesian Analysis for Underdetermined Blind Source Separation

This paper proposes a Gaussian mixture model-based Bayesian analysis for blind source separation of an underdetermined model that has more sources than sensors. The proposed algorithm follows a hierarchical learning procedure and alternative estimations for sources and the mixing matrix. The independent sources are estimated from their posterior means, and the mixing matrix is estimated by the maximum likelihood method. Because each source is conditionally correlated with others in its Markov blanket, the correlations between them are approximated by using linear response theory; this is based on the factorized approximation to the sources' true posteriors. In this framework, each source is modeled as a mixture of Gaussians to fit its actual distribution. Given enough Gaussians, the mixture model can learn any distribution. The algorithm provides a good identification of the mixing system, and its flexibility speeds up the convergence. The iterative learning for Gaussians leads to a parametric density estimation for all hidden sources as well as their recovery in the end. The major advantages of this algorithm are its flexibility and its fast convergence. Simulations using synthetic data validate the effectiveness of the algorithm.

Room-Temperature Metal-Catalyzed Ultrafast Gasification of Ultrathin Boron Flakes

The trivalent outer shell of boron renders this element electron-poor but chemically rich, exhibiting more than one dozen allotropes. Its 2D polymorph has been recently synthesized on metal substrates under ultrahigh vacuum and has attracted intense interest. However, probing its properties ex situ has been challenging due to the quality degradation—surface oxidation—that occurs upon exposure to ambient environments. Herein, this surface chemistry is investigated in regard to the air stability of ultrathin boron flakes on metals prepared by atmospheric-pressure chemical vapor deposition. The characteristic Volmer–Weber growth is recognized by the stacking of polygon-shaped, thin flakes as isolated islands. Significantly, the metal-catalyzed, ultrafast gasification of boron flakes at room temperature, exemplified by the complete, spontaneous vanishment of 200 nm-thick boron islands in 3 h is observed. A two-step mechanism, first oxygen-involved surface oxidation and then subsequent reactions with water forming a highly volatile boric acid layer, is unambiguously revealed by combined surface characterizations. The catalysis by metal substrates, corroborated by theoretical calculations, is attributed as the crucial cause of the unprecedented gasification. The concept of oxygen-free growth is thereby proposed for air-sensitive material growth by introducing in situ oxygen scavengers. These findings significantly expand the fundamental understanding of the surface chemistry of boron and pave the way for the chemical vapor deposition growth of hydrophobic materials.

Organic Tribotronic Transistor for Contact‐Electrification‐Gated Light‐Emitting Diode

Tribotronics is a new field about the devices fabricated using the electrostatic potential created by contact electrification as a “gate” voltage to tune/control charge carrier transport in semiconductors. In this paper, an organic tribotronic transistor is proposed by coupling an organic thin film transistor (OTFT) and a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) in vertical contact‐separation mode. Instead of using the traditional gate voltage for controlling, the charge carrier transportation in the OTFT can be modulated by the contact‐induced electrostatic potential of the TENG. By further coupling with an organic light‐emitting diode, a contact‐electrification‐gated light‐emitting diode (CG‐LED) is fabricated, in which the operating current and light‐emission intensity can be tuned/controlled by an external force–induced contact electrification. Two different modes of the CG‐LED have been demonstrated and the brightness can be decreased and increased by the applied physical contact, respectively. Different from the conventional organic light‐emitting transistor controlled by an electrical signal, the CG‐LED has realized the direct interaction between the external environment/stimuli and the electroluminescence device. By introducing optoelectronics into tribotronics, the CG‐LED has open up a new field of tribophototronics with many potential applications in interactive display, mechanical imaging, micro‐opto‐electro‐mechanical systems, and flexible/touch optoelectronics.

A New Pixel Circuit Compensating for Brightness Variation in Large Size and High Resolution AMOLED Displays

A new pixel design and driving method for active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display using low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistor (LTPS-TFT) is proposed. The new circuit consists of five TFTs and one capacitor to eliminate the variation in the threshold voltage of the TFTs, and the drop in the supply voltage in a single frame operation. The proposed pixel circuit has been verified to realize uniform output current by the simulation work using HSPICE software. The simulated error rate of the output current is also discussed in this paper. The novel pixel design has great potential for use in large size and high resolution AMOLED displays.
