Thermal analysis and test for single concentrator solar cells

A thermal model for concentrator solar cells based on energy conservation principles was designed. Under 400X concentration with no cooling aid, the cell temperature would get up to about 1200℃.Metal plates were used as heat sinks for cooling the system, which remarkably reduce the cell temperature. For a fixed concentration ratio, the cell temperature reduced as the heat sink area increased. In order to keep the cell at a constant temperature, the heat sink area needs to increase linearly as a function of the concentration ratio. GaInP/GaAs/Ge triple-junction solar cells were fabricated to verify the model. A cell temperature of 37℃ was measured when using a heat sink at 400X concentratration.

Analysis and Simulation of S-shaped Waveguide in Silicon-on-insulator

The simulation and analysis of S-shaped waveguide bend are presented.Bend radius larger than 30 mm assures less than 0.5 dB radiation loss for a 4-μm-wide silicon-on-insulator waveguide bend with 2-μm etch depth.Intersection angle greater than 20° provides negligible crosstalk (＜-30 dB) and very low insertion loss.Any reduction in bend radius and intersection angle is at the cost of the degradation of characteristics of bent waveguide and intersecting waveguide, respectively.

Analysis for the angle dependence of GaAs based RCE photodetectors

The theoretical analysis and experimental measurement on the angle dependence of quantum efficiency of GaAs based resonant cavity enhanced (RCE) photodetector is presented. By changing the angle of incoming light, about 40mn wavelength variation of peak quantum efficiency has been experimentally obtained. The peak quantum efficiency and optical bandwidth at different mode corresponding to different angle incidence have been characterized with different absorption dependence on wavelength. The convenient angle tuning of resonant mode will be helpful to relax the strict constraint of RCE photodetector to light source with narrow emission spectrum while especially applied in space optical detections and communications.

双面二维硅微条探测器的沾污失效分析及修复；Contamination failure analysis and repairing for double side two dimensional silicon microstrip detectors

硅微条探测器通过微电子工艺制作,易因沾污导致性能下降甚至失效;裸露的键合引线,也易因机械力形成隐性或显性失效。对上述现象的研究可用于修复、维护探测器并在设计和工艺流程中改进其性能。本文通过光学、电气手段分析其结构和制作工艺流程,根据沾污性质在不同条件下清洗探测器,中测后根据芯片图形、封装方式和电气要求修复探测器,最后采用同位素α能谱测试修复效果。对一块沾污后失效(无法加载偏压)的硅微条清洗后在大气环境,N面接地,P面加载负偏压条件下进行了测试,结果显示:170 V全耗尽,平均漏电流2.94μA,5.486 MeV的α峰能量分辨率约1.28%。失效键合所在条的另一面各条能谱观测到假峰,键合修复后消除。因沾污失效的硅微条探测器经过合适的清洗、修复,部分可以恢复性能,但清洗对表面和结构有损伤,须谨慎。另外,键合失效后,因信号不能引出导致的电荷积累会通过电容效应影响其它灵敏区。文章提示,探测器应存放于洁净,恒温,低湿度,避光,避强电磁干扰的环境,以提高能量和位置分辨率,并增加工作稳定性,延长使用寿命。

Strategy for analysis and screening of bioactive compounds in traditional Chinese medicines

Traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs), due to their long time clinic test and reliable therapeutic efficacy, are attracting increased global attention served as excellent pools of bioactive compounds for the discovery of new drugs. However, hundreds or even thousands of components are usually contained in traditional Chinese medicines and only a few compounds are responsible for the pharmaceutical and/or toxic effects. The large numbers of other components in traditional Chinese medicines make the screening and analysis of the bioactive components extremely difficult. By the way, the combination effect of bioactive components on the pharmacological activity makes it very difficult to clear the therapeutic mechanism of TCMs. Therefore, some strategies have to design for screening of bioactive compounds in traditional Chinese medicines, which further leads to disclose the therapeutic mechanism of TCMs in molecular level. The review will summarize the present state of the art of screening strategy for active compounds in traditional Chinese medicines, and the chromatography methods for screening and analysis of bioactive compounds in traditional Chinese medicines will be emphasized.
