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.     

Diurnal Variation of the AMSU-A Brightness Temperatures Over the Amazon Rainforest

Brightness temperatures over the Amazon rainforest are obtained from the Advanced Microwave Sounding Units (AMSU-A and AMSU-B) instruments onboard three NOAA satellites (NOAA-15, -16, and -17, respectively) for the months of July, August, and October, 2002. The three AMSU-A instruments provided six daily measurements, separated by 2.5-5.5 h of the diurnal time intervals, over the Amazon rainforest region, and these measurements offer a unique opportunity for investigation of the diurnal variation of the brightness temperatures over the Amazon rainforests. The angular distributions of brightness temperatures over the Amazon rainforest are very stable and can be simulated with a radiative transfer model, which consists of an atmospheric radiative component and a rainforest-canopy model that treats the rainforest as a uniform layer with an effective canopy temperature. The simulated results agree well with the observations. The diurnal variation of brightness temperatures over the Amazon rainforest is simulated with a Fourier-series model. It shows that a second order of Fourier series can reproduce the observed pattern of diurnal variation of the brightness temperatures at zenith angles of 0deg, 28.7deg, and 58.1deg, respectively. In a practical application, the coefficients of Fourier-series expansion can be used to generate the brightness temperatures as a function of diurnal hours. These results can be applied to postlaunch calibration of satellite-borne microwave radiometer with different equator crossing time. In addition, the results presented in this paper indicate that the Amazon rainforest can be used as a hot calibration reference target. The availability of a land calibration target is important for calibration and validation of spaceborne microwave radiometers     

亚马逊热带雨林星载SAR辐射定标算法

天线外定标是实现星载SAR天线方向图在轨测试的主要手段。天线方向图的准确测量,对星载SAR图像的应用具有重要作用。分布目标辐射定标在星载SAR天线方向图测试中受到广泛重视。亚马逊热带雨林的后向散射系数呈现大面积的均匀性和稳定性,故成为分布目标定标最主要的定标场。该文在分布目标定标原理的基础上,对基于亚马逊热带雨林的星载SAR天线方向图测量算法进行了研究,提出了采用K．Pearson统计量非参数假设检验的一致性处理算法,并采用Levenberg-Marquard算法（LM算法）估计俯仰向天线方向图模型参数。仿真数据验证了算法的可靠性和准确性。

A 10-Transistor 65 nm SRAM Cell Tolerant to Single-Event Upsets

A novel SRAM cell tolerant to single-event upsets (SEUs) is presented in this paper. By adding four more transistors inside, the proposed circuit can obtain higher critical charge at each internal node compared to the conventional 6-transistor (6T) cell. Arrays of 2k-bit capacitance of these two designs were implemented in a 65 nm CMOS bulk technology for comparison purpose. Radiation experiments showed that, at the nominal 1.0 V supply voltage, the proposed cell achieves 47.1 % and 49.3 % reduction in alpha and proton soft error rates (SER) with an area overhead of 37 %.     

Location and calculation-free node-scheduling schemes in large wireless sensor networks

In wireless sensor networks that consist of a large number of low-power, short-lived, unreliable sensors, one of the main design challenges is to obtain long system lifetime without sacrificing system original performance (sensing coverage and sensing reliability). To solve this problem, one of the potential approaches is to identify redundant nodes at the sensing interface and then assign them an off-duty operation mode that has lower energy consumption than the normal on-duty mode. In our previous work [J. Wireless Commun. Mobile Comput. 3 (2003) 271; Processing of ACM Wireless Sensor Network and Application Workshop 2002, September 2002], we proposed a node-scheduling scheme, which can provide a 100% sensing coverage preservation capability. This, however, requires each node to be aware of its own and its neighbors’ location information. Also, in that scheme, each node has to do accurate geometrical calculation to determine whether to take an off-duty status. In this paper, we propose and study several alternative node-scheduling schemes, which cannot completely preserve the original system coverage, but are nonetheless light-weighted and flexible compared with the previous one. Our simulation results compare these schemes with the previous one and demonstrate their effectiveness.     

Subjective Listening Experiments on a Front and Rear Array‐Based WFS System

Wave field synthesis (WFS) has been gathering more and more attention recently due to its ability to perfectly reproduce an original sound field. However, to realize theoretically perfect WFS, a four‐sided loudspeaker array that encloses the listener is required. However, it is difficult to build such a system except in large listening spaces, such as a theater or concert hall. In other words, if the listening space is a home, installing a side loudspeaker array is impractical. If the two side walls located to the left and right of the listener can be omitted, a setup using only front and rear loudspeaker arrays may be a solution. In this letter, we present a subjective listening experiment of sound localization/distance based on a WFS using a front and rear loudspeaker array system which is conducted on two listening points and shows average localization errors of 6.1° and 9.18°, while the average distance errors are –27% (0.5 m) and –29% (0.6 m), respectively.     

Coexistence of multiple bifurcation modes in memristive diode-bridge-based canonical Chua’s circuit

Based on a memristive diode bridge cascaded with series resistor and inductor filter, a modified memristive canonical Chua’s circuit is presented in this paper. With the modelling of the memristive circuit, a normalised system model is built. Stability analyses of the equilibrium points are performed and bifurcation behaviours are investigated by numerical simulations and hardware experiments. Most extraordinary in the memristive circuit is that within a parameter region, coexisting phenomenon of multiple bifurcation modes is emerged under six sets of different initial values, resulting in the coexistence of four sets of topologically different and disconnected attractors. These coexisting attractors are easily captured by repeatedly switching on and off the circuit power supplies, which well verify the numerical simulations.
