A novel image restoration approach based on point location in high-dimensional space geometry

The goal of image restoration is to restore the original clear image from the existing blurred image without distortion as possible. A novel approach based on point location in high-dimensional space geometry method is proposed, which is quite different from the thought ways of existing traditional image restoration approaches. It is based on the high-dimensional space geometry method, which derives from the fact of the Principle of Homology-Continuity (PHC). Begin with the original blurred image, we get two further blurred images. Through the regressive deducing curve fitted by these three images, the first iterative deblured image could be obtained. This iterative "blurring-debluring-blurring" process is performed till reach the deblured image. Experiments have proved the availability of the proposed approach and achieved not only common image restoration but also blind image restoration which represents the majority of real problems.

An algorithm of analysis tools on points distribution in high dimension space: The distance of a point and an infinite sub-space

This paper discusses the algorithm on the distance from a point and an infinite sub-space in high dimensional space With the development of Information Geometry([1]), the analysis tools of points distribution in high dimension space, as a measure of calculability, draw more attention of experts of pattern recognition. By the assistance of these tools, Geometrical properties of sets of samples in high-dimensional structures are studied, under guidance of the established properties and theorems in high-dimensional geometry.

Dipole mode photonic crystal point defect laser on InGaAsP/InP

In this paper, we focus on the dipole mode of the two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal (PC) single point defect cavity (SPDC) lasers and we report the fabrication and characterization of 2D PC SPDC lasers with the structure of adjusted innermost air holes. The photonic band and cavity Q factors are simulated by means of plane wave expansion (PWE) and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD), respectively. In order to improve the optical confinement of the SPDC, the diameter of the innermost holes was adjusted. Different lasing performances are observed experimentally. The experimental results agree with the theoretical prediction very well. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Morphological defects and uniformity issues of 4H-SiC homoepitaxial layers grown on off-oriented (0001)Si faces

The morphological defects and uniformity of 4H-SiC epilayers grown by hot wall CVD at 1500 degrees C on off-oriented (0001) Si faces are characterized by atomic force microscope, Nomarski optical microscopy, and Micro-Raman spectroscopy. Typical morphological defects including triangular defects, wavy steps, round pits, and groove defects are observed in mirror-like SiC epilayers. The preparation of the substrate surface is necessary for the growth of high-quality 4H-SiC epitaxial layers with low-surface defect density under optimized growth conditions. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

Electron irradiation-induced defects in InP pre-annealed at high temperature

Electron irradiation-induced deep level defects have been studied in InP which has undergone high-temperature annealing in phosphorus and iron phosphide ambients, respectively. In contrast to a high concentration of irradiation-induced defects in as-grown and phosphorus ambient annealed InP, InP pre-annealed in iron phosphide ambient has a very low concentration of defects. The phenomenon has been explained in terms of a faster recombination of radiation-induced defects in the annealed InP. The radiation-induced defects in the annealed InP have been compared and studied. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Growth of high quality semi-insulating InP single crystal by suppression of compensation defects

Deep level defects in as-grown and annealed SI-InP samples were investigated by thermally stimulated current spectroscopy. Correlations between electrical property, compensation ratio, thermal stability and deep defect concentration in SI-InP were revealed. An optimized crystal growth condition for high quality SI-InP was demonstrated based on the experimental results.

STUDY OF MICROSTRUCTURE AND DEFECTS IN HYDROGENATED MICROCRYSTALLINE SILICON FILMS

Microcrystalline silicon films were deposited by very high frequency (VHF) plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with different hydrogen dilution. The microstructure of these films was investigated using Raman spectroscopy and infrared absorption (IR) spectra. The crystalline, amorphous, and grain boundary volume fractions X-c, X-a and X-gb were estimated from Raman measurements. An interface structure factor (R-if) is proposed to characterize the grain boundary volume fractions in IR spectroscopy. The density of states (DOS) of the microcrystalline crystalline silicon films were studied by phase-shift analysis of modulated photocurrent (MPC) and photoconductivity spectroscopy. It was observed that DOS increases with increasing grain boundary volume fractions, while the values of electron mobility-lifetime product mu T-e(e) disease.
