Indirect modulation of a terahertz quantum cascade laser using gate tunable graphene

We bring together two areas of terahertz (THz) technology that have benefited from recent advancements in research, i.e., graphene, a material that has plasmonic resonances in the THz frequency, and quantum cascade lasers (QCLs), a compact electrically driven unipolar source of THz radiation. We demonstrate the use of single-layer large-area graphene to indirectly modulate a THz QCL operating at 2.0 THz. By tuning the Fermi level of the graphene via a capacitively coupled backgate voltage, the optical conductivity and, hence, the THz transmission can be varied. We show that, by changing the pulsing frequency of the backgate, the THz transmission can be altered. We also show that, by varying the pulsing frequency of the backgate from tens of Hz to a few kHz, the amplitude-modulated THz signal can be switched by 15% from a low state to a high state. © 2009-2012 IEEE.

聚乙烯醇封固鱼类寄生虫和小型节肢动物的方法

<正> 聚乙烯醇(Polyvinyl alcohol)简称PVA,最早是唐斯(Downs,1943)应用于小型昆虫,小型节肢动物的封固剂,以后布鲁克和戈德曼(Brooke and Goldman,1949)将此剂配方作了改进。 在国内,最早是蒲蛰龙和利翠英(1951)介绍了用聚乙烯醇封存小昆虫整体和部分器官构造。尹文英(1954)用它封固鱼类寄生虫单殖吸虫和甲壳动物。我于1956年用它处理寄生线虫的口囊、交合刺等坚硬的结构都取得很好的效果。现将其配方和使用的体会介绍如下:

In situ nutrient removal from aquaculture wastewater by aquatic vegetable Ipomoea aquatica on floating beds

Nutrient-rich effluents caused rising concern due to eutrophication of aquatic environment by utilization of a large amount of formula feed. Nutrient removal and water quality were investigated by planting aquatic vegetable on artificial beds in 36-m(2) concrete fishponds. After treatment of 120 days, 30.6% of total nitrogen (TN) and 18.2% of total phosphorus (TP) were removed from the total input nutrients by 6-m(2) aquatic vegetable Ipomoea aquatica. The concentrations of TN, TP, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and chlorophyll a in planted ponds were significantly lower than those in non-planted ponds (P<0.05). Transparency of water in planted ponds was much higher than that of control ponds. No significant differences in the concentration of total ammonia nitrogen (TAN), nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N) and nitrite nitrogen (NO2--N) were found between planted and non-planted ponds. These results suggested that planting aquatic vegetable with one-sixth covered area of the fishponds could efficiently remove nutrient and improve water quality.

THEORETICAL TREATMENT OF A3B5 CHLORIDE VAPOR-PHASE EPITAXY - GROWTH, DOPING, OPTIMIZATION

A theoretical description of chloride vapour-phase epitaxy (CVPE) has been proposed which contains two-dimensional (2D) gas-dynamic equations for transport of reactive components and kinetic equations for surface growth processes connected by nonlinear adiabatic boundary conditions. No one of these stages is supposed to be the limiting one. Calculated variations of growth rate and impurity concentrations along the growing layer fit experimental data well.
