      Abstract:

      We described a high-performance planar InGaAsP/InP single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) with a separate absorption, grading, charge and multiplication (SAGCM) heterostructure. By electric field regulation and defects control, the SPAD operated in the gated-mode at 293 K with a photon detection efficiency (PDE) of 70%, a dark count rate (DCR) of 14.93 kHz and an after-pulse probability (APP) of 0.89%. Furthermore, when operated in the active quenching mode with a dead time of 200 ns, a PDE of 12.49% and a DCR of 72.29 kHz were achieved at room temperature.

      Abstract:

      In this paper, the GaAs/AlGaAs non-uniform quantum well infrared detector material was successfully grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), and the microstructure was characterized in detail. The performance difference between the non-uniform quantum well structure and the conventional quantum well infrared detector is analyzed and compared, and the performance change of the non-uniform quantum well infrared detector under different well widths is comparatively studied. The microstructure of non-uniform quantum well infrared detector materials was analyzed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) combined with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and the non-uniform well doping was characterized by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The results show that the crystal quality of the non-uniform quantum well epitaxial material is very good, and the non-uniform quantum well structure and doping concentration are also in good agreement with the design values. The research results show that for non-uniform quantum well infrared detectors, the electric field distribution of the quantum well can be modulated by changing the doping concentration and barrier width of each well, and the dark current significantly decreases (by about an order of magnitude),compared with traditional uniform quantum well infrared detectors. Moreover, under different well widths, the transition modes of non-uniform quantum wells can change, and the devices with bound state to quasi-bound state transition modes (B-QB) have better blackbody response and lower dark current.

      Abstract:

      Class II superlattice infrared detectors generally detect infrared radiation through mesa junction, while transverse PN junction is realized through ion implantation. On the one hand, the material epitaxy process is simple, and at the same time, the advantages of superlattice material that the transverse diffusion length is far higher than the longitudinal can be used to improve the transport of photogenerated current carriers, and it is easy to make high-density planar arrays. In this paper, the effects of Si ion implantation with different energies and annealing on the properties of InAs/GaSb type II superlattice materials were studied by using a variety of material characterization techniques. Through Si ion implantation, the epitaxial material changes from P type to N type, and the vertical tensile strain is generated in the superlattice material. The lattice constant becomes larger, and the mismatch increases with the increase of implantation energy. The mismatch before implantation is -0.012%. When the implantation energy reaches 200 keV, the mismatch reaches 0.072%, and the superlattice partially relaxes, with the relaxation degree of 14%. After annealing at 300 ° C for 60 s, the superlattice returns to the fully strained state, and the lattice constant becomes smaller, This tensile strain is caused by the diffusion of Ga-In caused by annealing and lattice shrinkage caused by Si substitution.

      Abstract:

      An important branch of the three-generation infrared focal plane is high operating temperature (HOT) infrared detector. For HgCdTe n-on-p detectors, dark current can be suppressed with n+-n--p structure and good passivation, and then better performance of the detector will be obtained under high operating temperature. Based on the junction formation simulator, the junction formation parameters of HOT device are achieved and combined with the manufacture technology of optimized passivation layer, HgCdTe n-on-p infrared focal plane arrays which can operate at higher temperature was made in Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics(SITP).

      Abstract:

      CdTe(211)thin films are grown on GaAs(211)B substrates by molecular beam epitaxy(MBE), the influence of different process conditions on the surface morphology and optical properties of the CdTe epitaxial films are stematically studied. The study shows that under certain growth temperatures, growing CdTe thin films in a Te atmosphere and increasing the CdTe and Te beam ratio can significantly reduce the size and density of pyramid defects on the CdTe surface. When the CdTe and Te beam ratio is 6.5, the pyramid defects almost disappear, and the surface smoothness of the material is significantly improved. X-ray diffraction(XRD)also shows that the crystal quality of CdTe has significantly improved. Further Raman spectroscopy shows that with the increase of the CdTe and Te beam ratio, the A1 peak of Te weakens, and the intensity ratio of the CdTe LO and TO phonon peaks increases. Low-temperature photoluminescence(PL)studies also show that with the increase of the CdTe and Te beam ratio, the reduction of Cd vacancies can reduce the peak intensity of the deep energy level region related to impurity energy levels, while the half-width of the free exciton peak related to crystal quality reduces, and the optical quality of the material is significantly improved. This study explores the ideal process window and related mechanisms of CdTe/GaAs epitaxial materials, and provides a foundation for further epitaxial high-quality HgCdTe materials using this as a buffer layer.

      Abstract:

      In this paper, an investigation into the preparation technology and performance of 1280×1024 middle-wavelength (MW) HgCdTe infrared focal plane arrays (IRFPAs) with a pixel size of 10μm was introduced. The manufacturing process of these high-resolution FPAs involved the utilization of B+ injection to establish small-sized n-on-p junctions and the application of high-precision In-bump interconnection. Through development of the process, the adverse effects of the mismatch between HgCdTe devices and readout integrated circuits (ROICs) were mitigated, thereby reducing the likelihood of device failure. The assembled FPAs were evaluated to photoelectric performance evaluation at a temperature of 85 K. The experimental results demonstrate that the detector''s spectral response encompasses a wavelength range of 3.67 μm to 4.88 μm. The highest pixel operability of the assembly can reach 99.95%. The average values of the noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD) and the dark current density for all the pixels of the assembly are respectively less than 16 mK and 2.1×10-8 A/cm2. In comparison with a 15 μm pitch detector, the utilization of the 1280×1024 10 μm MWIR detector facilitated the capture of finer details in target images and extended the identification range. At present, this technology has been successfully transferred to the HgCdTe FPA production line of Zhejiang Juexin Microelectronics Co. Ltd. (ZJM). The production capacity and yield are constantly increasing.

      Abstract:

      InGaAsP/InP single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) were gamma-irradiated with total doses of 10 krad (Si) and 20 krad (Si) and tested in situ and shift methods. After irradiation, the dark currents and dark count rates were degraded slightly, whereas the photon detection efficiency and the after pulse probability were basically unchanged. After a certain period of annealing at room temperature, these degradations were essentially recovered, indicating that transient ionization damage dominated in the gamma irradiation of InGaAsP/InP single-photon avalanche diodes.

      Abstract:

      Polarization is an intrinsic degree of freedom of light. The detection of polarization light provides more information in addition to light intensity and wavelength. Infrared polarization detectors play a vital role in numerous applications, such as imaging, communication, remote sensing, and cosmology. However, traditional polarization detection systems are bulky and complex, hindering the miniaturization and integration of polarization detection. Recently, the development of on-chip infrared polarization detectors has become an area of great interest. In this review, we focus on two recent advanced research areas of on-chip infrared polarization detectors: polarization-sensitive materials and integration of polarization-selective optical coupling structures. We discuss the current research status, future challenges and opportunities for the development of on-chip infrared polarization detectors.

      Abstract:

      InP-based InGaAs/InP avalanche photodiodes (APDs) have high sensitivity to near-infrared light, making them ideal optoelectronic devices for weak signal and single-photon detection. However, as device structures become complex and advanced, with thickness and sizes ranging from quantum dots to several micrometers, performance is increasingly constrained by defects in the lattice of the material and the process conditions. Solid source molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technology was used to deoxidize InP substrates under the atmosphere As and P, respectively, and epitaxially grow lattice-matched In0.53Ga0.47As film and InGaAs/InP avalanche APD full-structure materials. The experiment results demonstrate that As deoxidation has a distinct advantage over P deoxygenation in terms of MBE material quality, which can make a straight and sharp heterojunction interface, lower carrier concentrations, higher Hall mobilities, longer minority carrier lifetimes, and achieve suppression of dark current caused by point defects or impurity defects in the device. Therefore, As deoxidation can be applied effectively to enhance the quality of MBE materials. This work optimizes InP substrate InGaAs/InP epitaxial growth parameters and device fabrication conditions.

      Abstract:

      This paper presents an improved 0.18 μm CMOS detector linear array with high voltage responsiveness. Each pixel consists of high-gain on-chip antenna, high-coupling self-mixing power detection circuit and integrated voltage amplifier. The differential detection circuit uses the cross-coupling capacitance of the source differential driven FET, coupling the terahertz differential signal to the gate and the source of the FET, and enhancing the strength of the self-mixing terahertz signal in the channel to achieve high responsiveness. Additionally, the detector is equipped with a high-gain differential annular antenna and an integrated voltage amplifier, which can effectively amplify the mixing signals, thus improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the system, and ultimately enhancing the detector‘s responsiveness. The 1 × 3 detector linear array system composed of three pixels makes full use of the characteristics of the multi-layer structure of CMOS. The voltage amplifier is arranged below the antenna ground plane, which improves the utilization of the chip area and effectively reduces the production cost. The area of the detector system is 0.5 mm2. When the gate is biased at 0.42 V, the measurement results show that, the maximum voltage responsiveness (Rv) can reach 43.8 kV /W under the radiation of 0.3 THz signal, and the corresponding minimum noise equivalent power (NEP) is 20.5 pW/Hz1/2. The dynamic measurement results show that the detector can distinguish different material blocks.

      Abstract:

      A 215~230 GHz Schottky varactor-based frequency doubler utilizing novel four-port balanced configuration has been developed with improved conversion efficiency and power-handling capability. The proposed doubler, featuring doubled number of anodes in conventional balanced ones, could inhibit the odd- and fourth-order harmonics. Thus, better conversion efficiency and doubled power handling capability could be achieved. At room temperature, the fabricated doubler exhibits a ~39.5% peak conversion efficiency (@218 GHz) for an input power of 196~340 mW, which is proved to be a perfect solution for the generation of high power terahertz waves even at higher frequencies.

      Abstract:

      An improved method for determination of extrinsic resistances for 70 nm InP high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) is proposed in this paper. A set of expressions have been derived from the equivalent circuit model under operating bias points (Vgs > VthVds = 0 V). The extrinsic resistances are iterative determined using the discrepancy between simulated and measured S-parameters as an optimization criterion using the semi-analytical method. Good agreement between simulated and measured S-parameters under multi bias over the frequency range up to 110 GHz verifies the effectiveness of this extraction method.

      Abstract:

      We synthesized C/Co composites via a facile one-step pyrolysis procedure and observed excellent dielectric dispersion properties at a 35 wt% filling concentration. At a thickness of 2.5 mm, the composites exhibited a minimum reflection of -23.7 dB at 11.2 GHz, with a bandwidth of 3.8 GHz (RL≤-10 dB). To further improve their absorption performance, we optimized the macrostructure of the absorber using an all-dielectric metamaterial design. The optimized design successfully extended the less than -10 dB absorption bandwidth to 15 GHz (7.0~22.0 GHz). Our results provide a useful reference for optimizing the preparation technology and structural design of high-performance microwave absorbers.

      Abstract:

      The Infrared Hyperspectral Atmospheric Sounder II (HIRAS-II) mounted on Funyun-3E satellite (FY-3E) can realize vertical atmospheric detection, featuring hyper spectral, high sensitivity and high precision. When the satellite has been on-orbit, nonlinear response would occur due to instrument attenuation and environmental change, which affects the accuracy of on-orbit calibration. For nonlinear response problems, a nonlinear correction method based on in-band spectrum is proposed. Firstly, the nonlinear correction coefficient was solved based on the nonlinear characteristics of the out-of-band in low-frequency spectra, and the coefficient was input into the radiological calibration model as the initial value. The deviation between the black-body spectrum measured on board and the ideal spectrum was taken as the objective function, and the nonlinear correction coefficient was optimized by iterative calculation. Radiation calibration experiments have shown that the brightness temperature deviation of black body is reduced compared to uncorrected result and the out-of-band correction method using the proposed method.Based on the simultaneous nadir overpass method, After matching the observed data of HIRAS-II with IASI and calculating the mean brightness temperature deviation and the absolute value of the deviation, the mean brightness temperature deviation after nonlinear correction by the in-band correction method is -0.13 K, which is better than the out-of-band correction method.

      Abstract:

      The detection of infrared small targets has been a challenging task in the field of computer vision due to the low percentage of small targets in the whole image and the presence of a large amount of clutter around the targets. We propose an algorithm based on associated directional gradient and mean contrast. The algorithm consists of two modules: the associated directional gradient module uses a Gaussian distribution model of infrared small targets, and adds the gradient in a single direction with the gradient in an adjacent direction to form a new feature called associated directional gradient, which enhances the real target, suppresses background clutter, and eliminates the effect of highlighting edges on the target detection. The mean contrast module incorporates directional information to calculate multi-directional contrast of the target. The minimum value of multi-directional contrast is chosen to suppress structural noise, and the idea of mean filtering is introduced into the calculation of contrast to suppress isolated noise in the background and further reduce the false alarm rate of detection. Experimental results on actual infrared images show that the algorithm can achieve better results in enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio of the target and suppressing the background noise.

      Abstract:

      In order to achieve the stress defect detection of infrared materials such as Si, Ge, and GaAs, two Photoelastic modulators working at different frequencies are cascaded to form a polarimetry system. The birefringence retardation and fast axis azimuth introduced by the stress defect are loaded into the modulation signals of the polarimetry system. The amplitudes of the fundamental and differential frequency terms were simultaneously obtained by using digital phase-locked technology, and then the two stress parameters are solved. A detailed analysis of the detection principle was conducted and an experimental system was established for verification. The experimental results show that this method has achieved stress defect detection with a standard deviation of 0.31 ° for stress direction angle and 0.72 nm for stress birefringence retardation. The high-speed, high-precision, and high repeatability stress defect detection are realized, and the measurement of stress defect distribution in a Ge samples are demonstrated. An effective method for infrared material quality testing, analysis, and evaluation is proposed.

      Abstract:

      In response to the special situation where the near-infrared monocular vision pose measurement system in complex application environments deviates from the preset cooperative target object and cannot complete pose measurement, a monocular vision measurement method based on the random rough surface image around the cooperative target is proposed, as well as a dynamic self-healing method after image damage. By matching and calculating the real-time acquired features of the random rough surface image with the pre stored reference image features, emergency measurement in special situations is completed. At the same time, in order to reduce the impact on the pose measurement accuracy after the pollution or damage of the random rough surface image, Real-time computing calculation of the degree of pollution or damage and dynamic self-healing of the reference image features. The experimental results show that the pose measurement accuracy of the random rough surface object is slightly lower than that of the cooperative target object, but it can meet the emergency use needs in special situations and improve the robustness of the measurement system; When the pollution or damage of the random rough surface image reaches 70%, using self-healing processing reduces the azimuth measurement error by more than 72% compared to not doing self-healing processing, verifying the effectiveness of the benchmark image self-healing method.

      Abstract:

      The spaceborne photon counting laser ranging radar system has significant advantages such as high repetition rate and high precision, but it also faces the problem of large amount of original data and high proportion of noise data. In order to adapt to the transmission capacity of the satellite data channel, it is necessary to compress the original data volume and ensure the recall rate of signal photons, so it is necessary to develop a hardware based real-time denoising algorithm. This article proposes a fast denoising algorithm that combines coarse and fine processing. Firstly, based on the laser emission pulse width, system noise rate, target characteristics, and local density information of received photon events, coarse denoising is performed to remove some noisy photons; then, using histogram statistics, fine denoising is performed on the retained photon events to determine the signal photon interval and the final signal photon and its time information. The algorithm is verified by Monte Carlo simulation and ICESat-2 measured data. The test results show that the recall ratio, precision ratio and harmonic average of the algorithm are more than 94%, 93% and 94% respectively, and the operational efficiency is improved by 10%. The algorithm can achieve fast and real-time denoising of photon events, providing a theoretical basis for real-time denoising processing of onboard hardware.

      Abstract:

      Image impulse noise removal is essential for obtaining high-quality images. A novel pixel gradients-based adaptive iterative median filter is proposed to remove image impulse noise by utilizing the principles of thermal infrared camera imaging. Firstly, the maximum pixel gradient of the original image is computed based on the camera's modulation transfer function (MTF), and a corresponding set of pixel gradients is established. Subsequently, the gradient weight root-mean-square error (GWRMSE) set of the original image and the corresponding pixel gradient filtered image is computed, and the optimal pixel gradient is determined as the one corresponding to the maximum value of Gaussian distribution of the GWRMSE set. Finally, the adaptive window size and number of iterations for the proposed filter are determined according to the density and complexity of the impulse noise in the image. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed filter exhibits excellent robustness in removing 8-bit and 16-bit single-channel impulse noise images. In comparison with other state-of-the-art methods, the proposed method can remove low-density random-valued impulse noise (RVIN) and salt-and-pepper noise (SAPN) in real thermal infrared camera-acquired images in real-time while preserving more than 99.5% of original pixels during the noise removal process. Additionally, for high-density SAPN removal, the proposed method achieves competitive results, demonstrating better peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index (SSIM) in comparison with filtering methods of faster running time and faster execution time in comparison with denoising methods of superior PSNR and SSIM. Moreover, it can recover meaningful image details even for images severely damaged by extreme SAPN (99%).

      Abstract:

      With the advantage of high sensitivity and high repetition rate, spaceborne photon counting lidar has shown great application in ocean areas. The photon counting detector can not only respond to the weak echo signal, but also susceptible to the solar radiation. Due to the great impact of background noise on the performance of lidar system, as well as the impact on the data volume, accurate estimation of noise level is crucial in the design of satellite lidar systems. A noise model of oceanic spaceborne photon counting lidar was proposed that considers the contribution of atmosphere, water surface and water column. By inputting the system parameters of the new generation photon counting lidar ATLAS and the environmental parameters, the MAPEs (mean absolute percentage errors) between estimated noise and the ATLAS measured noise are within 15%, which confirm the effectiveness of the noise model.

      Abstract:

      The spaceborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR), as a novel active remote sensing technology, offers possibilities for global diurnal research. In this study, global sea surface chlorophyll-a (Chla) concentrations were inverted using satellite data from Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO). A feedforward neural network model based on LiDAR data (FNN-LID) was developed to reconstruct a long-term diurnal dataset of sea surface pCO2 in the Arctic Ocean. Subsequently, verification and analysis were conducted on the polar sea surface Chla concentrations and sea surface pCO2 based on active remote sensing. The results demonstrated that the inversion products generated by this algorithm exhibit high data quality and exhibit favorable consistency with both other passive remote sensing products and buoy observations. Moreover, these products effectively fill data gaps during polar winters. Along the Arctic Ocean, margin seas significantly influenced by terrestrial sources consistently display high sea surface Chla concentrations. The spatial distribution of sea surface pCO2 in the Arctic Ocean manifests meridional variations, with marked seasonal fluctuations, even higher than 80 μatm. Over the past two decades, the Arctic Ocean has consistently acted as a carbon dioxide sink, while areas with substantial sea ice decline such as the East Siberian Sea and Kara Sea exhibit pronounced increases in sea surface pCO2.

      Abstract:

      The cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy (XSTM) technique was used to study the cleaved surface of Hg0.72Cd0.28Te grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Scanning tunnel spectroscopy (STS)’s measurements show that the width of zero current plateau (the apparent tunneling gap) of current-voltage (I/V) spectra is about 130% larger than the practical band gap of the material, implying the existence of obvious tip-induced band bending (TIBB) effect with the measurement. Based on the 3D TIBB model, the STS data can however be interpreted and the calculated I/V spectra are in good agreement with the measurement. Nevertheless, certain deviation appears for those I/V data which were acquired with a large imaging bias, e.g. 1.6 V. This is because the current TIBB model does not take into account the transport mechanism of the material itself, for which the band-to-band tunneling, trap assisted tunneling etc. could be non-negligible factors for the tunneling.

      Abstract:

      A dual-channel macroscopic imaging system has been developed based on optical methods, which can simultaneously capture the visible light and near-infrared second window (NIR-II) fluorescence. It could provide high-quality bright-field real-time images with the NIR-II fluorescence information, addressing the significant disparity issue between fluorescence and bright-field images in conventional NIR-II macroscopic imaging systems. In the experiment, the anti-scattering capability and imaging performance of NIR-II fluorescence signals of indocyanine green (ICG) were tested using different thicknesses of adipose tissues in the band of 1100-1700 nm and 1300-1700 nm respectively. Subsequently, the dual-channel macroscopic imaging system was used to obtain lymph node images of mouse and rat models, simulating the lymph node resection surgery and mimicking the process of abdominal lymph node clearance. Finally, different thicknesses of biological adipose tissues were added to the rat model to simulate the presence of adipose tissues covering the lymph nodes during actual surgery, and the penetration capability of the dual-channel system was observed. The visible and near-infrared second window dual-channel fluorescence imaging system provided the intuitive visual information to the operator, reducing surgery time and improving the patient prognosis, and held great potential for application in clinical surgical navigation.

To compensate for the shortcomings of traditional detection methods, this study combines terahertz technology with time-domain reflection technology to explore the feasibility of detecting metal wire defects on chips. Firstly, different proportions of convex defects and concave defects were processed on metal microstrip lines of different widths to simulate incomplete opening/short circuits of metal wires in integrated chips. The time-domain reflection signals were collected using a terahertz time-domain reflectometer. Then, qualitative analysis was conducted on different defect degrees and types based on the corresponding time of time-domain reflection pulses, and the defect positions of the metal wires on the chip were accurately calculated. Finally, the finite element analysis method was used to simulate and analyze the metal wires with defects on the silicon substrate, which showed perfect consistency with the experimental results. This research shows that the combined terahertz technology with time-domain reflection technology can achieve the diagnosis and detection of metal wire defects on chips, providing an empirical reference for defect detection in integrated chips.

      Abstract:

      The influence of growth conditions of liquid phase epitaxy on the composition gradient of HgCdTe was studied, and the growth model of liquid phase epitaxy of HgCdTe was established. HgCdTe with positive composition gradient was grown by slider liquid phase epitaxy by changing the mercury loss rate. The positive composition gradient structure of HgCdTe grown under the growth condition of specific mercury loss was confirmed by corrosion thinning spectrum and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The experimental results show that the HgCdTe with positive composition gradient had the similar surface morphology and infrared transmission spectrum curve to the traditional HgCdTe with negative composition gradient; and it had high crystal quality, with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of X-ray diffraction(XRD)double-crystal rocking curve of 28.8 arcsec.

      Abstract:

      This paper describes the design and fabrication of one kind of dichroic beam-splitters that operates in an ultra-broadband spectral range from visible to longwave infrared regions simultaneously. The use of metal-dielectric coatings makes it implement structures that transmit the visible/near infrared radiation from 0.4 to 1.05μm and reflect infrared radiation from 1.36 to 13μm. At the same time, the structures are designed to obtain a low linear polarization sensitivity (LPS) in the visible/near infrared region. The transmission of visible/near infrared region is more than 85% and the average reflection of infrared region is more than 90%. The LPS of the region 0.4~1.05μm is less than 4%.

      Abstract:

      This paper introduces a low-thickness sandwich waveguide structure comprising silicon nitride (Si3N4)-sapphire (Al2O3)-silicon nitride layers. By exploiting its dispersion wave (DW) radiation effect and mid-infrared phase matching condition, combined with the waveguide pulse transmission model, this study examines the impact of different physical sizes of the sandwich waveguide on the phase matching point and spectral broadening. Through numerical simulation, a supercontinuum spectrum ranging from 0.5 to 4 μm is generated, producing a farther mid-infrared dispersion wave at a -40 dB level. Moreover, this model provides an in-depth mechanism for nonlinear waveguide pulse transmission. Theoretical analysis reveals that modifying the physical size of the silicon nitride and sapphire interlayer and altering the phase-matching conditions can regulate the position of the dispersion wave across a broader wavelength range.

      Abstract:

      A homodyne detection system to acquire the thickness of silicon wafers is constructed and described. By harnessing the relationship between the transmission phase change of a 4.3-THz light beam and the incident angle controlled by a mechanical rotating stage, the thickness value of sample can be precisely deduced using the standard residual error method. The results indicate that the fitted thickness of the sample differs by only 2.5~3 μm from more accurate results measured by optical microscopes, achieving terahertz non-destructive thickness measurement with micron level accuracy. The experiment validates the effectiveness of terahertz quantum-cascade laser in non-contact and nondestructive measurement.

      Abstract:

      Generally, the porosity of traditional Chinese medicine is measured by the destructive method of density measurement, but there is a lack of non-destructive quantification methods. As one important non-destructive method, terahertz radiation has been used to non-destructively extract the drugs" time-domain and frequency-domain optical information. For direct compression traditional Chinese medicine tablets, the effective refractive index of various tablets was obtained by different methods of terahertz time-domain signal processing and frequency-domain signal processing. It was found that the effective refractive indices with either signal processing method show a good linear relationship with the porosities of the tablets. The porosity of Puerariae Lobatae Radix tablets was extracted and modeled by linear regression based on four effective medium theory models. The porosity regression model based on the effective refractive index by time-domain signal processing shows better performance on the model interpretation and cross-validation accuracy, with the best model of the Bruggeman model (RPD=11.3325). It provides support for the process optimization of porous powder preparation of traditional Chinese medicine.

      Abstract:

      The photogating effect based on the vertical structure of a two-dimensional material allows high-sensitivity and broad-spectrum photodetector. A high-sensitivity photodetector based on the vertical heterostructure of indium selenide (InSe)/molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2) is reported, which exhibits excellent broad-spectrum detection capability from 365 to 965 nm. The top layer of InSe was used as the grating layer to regulate the channel current, and MoTe2 was used as the transmission layer. By combining the advantages of the two materials, the photodetector has a fast response time of 21.6 ms and achieves a maximum detectivity of 1.05 ×10^13 Jones under 365 nm laser irradiation. Under the illumination of 965 nm, the detectivity still achieves the order of 10^9 Jones. In addition, the InSe/MoTe2 heterostructure exhibits an external quantum efficiency of 1.03 ×10^5%, demonstrating strong photoelectric conversion capability.

      Abstract:

      Metasurface provide a new platform for studying planar and ultrathin optical components. The traditional geometric-phase-based metalens are limited to the polarization locking, which inevitably hinders its function in multiplexing of multiple functions. Herein, an approach based on the geometric phase is proposed to realize polarization decoupling of metalens. This method can be applied to design metalens that enables functionalities of polarization switchable multi-functions(focusing and vortex beam etc...) multiplexing in the longitudinal direction or both the longitudinal and transverse directions. The results provide a new avenue for multifunctional integrated planar components

      Abstract:

      This study investigates an asymmetric tip design for a far-infrared metamaterial aimed at enhancing the Q factor and detection sensitivity. Employing the conventional double-split square ring resonator as a model, we conducted theoretical simulations to investigate the impact of different tip angles on the electric field distribution, resonance spectrum, and Q factor. The results show that the asymmetric tip increases the surface electric field of the resonator, decreases the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the resonance peak, and increases the Q factor to over three times that of the conventional split ring. Our findings offer valuable insights for the development of highly sensitive far-infrared metamaterial sensors. Furthermore, we propose a straightforward and practical optimization approach to enhance the Q factor of conventional split ring metamaterials.

      Abstract:

      Vanadium dioxide materials, which show semiconductor-metal phase transition, can be used for protection of photoelectric detectors against laser blinding weapons. The structure, morphology and optical properties of vanadium dioxide thin films prepared by radio frequency magnetron sputtering at different temperatures were reported. The visible to infrared ellipsometric parameters of vanadium dioxide film at were measured by an ellipsometer. The optical properties of vanadium dioxide films before the phase transition were obtained by Gaussian and Lorentz model, and the optical properties after the phase transition were obtained by adding a Drude model. The refractive index and extinction coefficient at varied temperatures between 300 nm and 1 800 nm were obtained. The transmittance spectra of 1 550 nm infrared laser at varied power densities show that the threshold power of phase transformation for the VO2 film is about 12 W/cm2, where the transmittance decreases sharply from 51% to 15%~17%, and the switching rate is about 69%.

      In this paper, a dual-band graphene-based frequency selective surface (GFSS) is investigated and the operating mechanism of this GFSS is analyzed. By adjusting the bias voltage to control the graphene chemical potential between 0 eV and 0.5 eV, the GFSS can achieve four working states: dual-band passband, high-pass low-impedance, low-pass high-impedance, and band-stop. Based on this GFSS, a hexagonal radome on a broadband omnidirectional monopole antenna is proposed, which can achieve independent 360° six-beam omnidirectional scanning at 1.08 THz and 1.58 THz dual bands. In addition, while increasing the directionality, the peak gains of the dual bands reach 7.44 dBi and 6.67 dBi, respectively. This work provides a simple method for realizing multi-band terahertz multi-beam reconfigurable antennas.

      Abstract:

      The high radiation intensity and weak self-absorption effect of the O2(a1?g) airglow in the 1.27 μm band make it an ideal target source for retrieval of the atmospheric temperature in the near-space. Based on the theory of O2 airglow spectral and the "onion-peeling" algorithm, the near-infrared limb-viewing data of the SCanning Imaging Absorption SpectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY) were successfully used to retrieve the atmospheric temperature profiles in the range of 50-100 km. Comparison with SABER, ACE-FTS and LIDAR observations shows that the temperature measurement error better than ±10 K in the tangential altitude of 55-85 km. However, in the space region below 55 km and above 85 km, the temperature retrieval results show significant bias due to the influences of self-absorption effects, atmospheric scattering, and spectral contamination from OH airglow.

      Abstract:

      As the connecting spectral band of visible-near infrared and thermal infrared, mid-infrared (MIR) combines the reflective characteristics of short-wave radiation and the emissive characteristics of long-wave radiation, which is of great importance for application scenarios such as temperature detection and target identification. At present, the radiative transfer (RT) calculation of the MIR spectrum still faces the problem of many input background parameters which are not easy to obtain. Based on this, a simplified parameterization scheme of MIR RT for satellite remote sensing is proposed. Using the MODTRAN model (MM), the background surface and atmospheric parameters involved in the MIR daytime RT process were quantitatively simulated and analyzed to obtain the key parameters affecting RT, from which an MM-based parameter simplified scheme (SS) was developed. The total radiance calculated by SS and MM is compared and validated at the center wavelength of 6 MIR channels of MODIS, and the RMSE is less than 0.004399 with high accuracy. The SS only relies on surface temperature, surface emissivity, atmospheric profile type, water vapor and cloud optical thickness, and does not require input of aerosol, CO2 and O3 data. Compared with the MM, the SS reduces the input parameters from 8 categories to 5 categories, and the calculation time efficiency increases by 9.02%. With limited computational resources, the SS proposed in this paper can provide support for the application areas such as fast processing of MIR images and remote sensing simulation of large scenes.

      Abstract:

      To investigate the mechanism of infrared radiation suppression on solid surfaces by spraying water film and to establish an accurate calculation method for infrared radiation, the theoretical and experimental research was conducted to study the influence of water film on the infrared radiation of solid surfaces. The results showed that in the 8~12 μm wavelength range, the infrared radiation characteristics of a solid surface covered with a water film (with a thickness greater than 100 μm) mainly relied on the infrared radiation emitted by the water film. An infrared radiation transfer model was developed to encompass solid surfaces covered by the water film, and the accuracy of commonly used calculation methods in the literature was analyzed. The error in calculating infrared radiation using the free surface temperature of the water film was less than 0.3%, while the maximum error in calculating infrared radiation using the temperature of the solid surface was 8.32%.

      A dual-tunable "perfect" metamaterial absorber composed of a "Tian-zi"-shaped bulk Dirac semimetal (BDS) resonator and strontium titanate (STO) is proposed in this work and systematically studied by performing numerical simulations. From the acquired results, it is demonstrated that the absorber can achieve 99% absorption rate at 2.613 1 THz when the BDS Fermi energy is 40 meV and the STO temperature is 400 K. Moreover, both dynamics dual-tuning of the absorption frequency and absorption rate of the absorber can be successfully achieved by varying the BDS Fermi energy level and the STO temperature. Additionally, the absorber"s performance is theoretically analyzed using both coupled mode theory (CMT) and equivalent circuit model (ECM). Finally, the changes in the absorber"s absorption spectrum are further discussed when each parameter of the model is modified, providing thus a solid theoretical basis for the design of dual-tunable filters and absorbers.

      The correct use of the product is possible only when the land surface temperature (LST) data is calculated by an accurate and reliable inversion algorithm. In this paper, we compare the inversion results of five commonly used LST inversion algorithms based on Landsat-8, Landsat-9 data, and weather station data. The inversion results and parameter sensitivity analysis of different algorithms are tested. The results show that the inversion results of the Radiative Transfer Equation (RTE) and Single Channel (SC) algorithms calculated based on land surface emissivity (LSE) are in good agreement with the ground measured. The inversion results of the SC algorithm based on the atmospheric water vapor inversion and the Split Window (SW) algorithm based on the atmospheric water vapor inversion are higher than the measured temperature. The inversion accuracy of the Mono Window (MW) algorithm based on average temperature parameters is not ideal. In addition, the consistency of the inversion temperature of the two data on different ground objects is compared. Our study can provide a reference for land surface temperature inversion based on Landsat-9 data.

      Abstract:

      Infrared small target denoising is widely used in military and civilian fields. Existing deep learning-based methods are specially designed for optical images and tend to over-smooth the informative image details, thus losing the response of small targets. To both denoise and maintain informative image details, this paper proposes a gradient-aware channel attention network (GCAN) for infrared small target image denoising before detection. Specifically, we use an encoder-decoder network to remove the additive noise of the infrared images. Then, a gradient-aware channel attention module is designed to adaptively enhance the informative high-gradient image channel. The informative target region with high-gradient can be maintained in this way. After that, we develop a large dataset with 3981 noisy infrared images. Experimental results show that our proposed GCAN can both effectively remove the additive noise and maintain the informative target region. Additional experiments of infrared small target detection further verify the effectiveness of our method.

      Abstract:

      Chaotic dynamics is a significant systematic feature of infrared electromagnetic wavefields that requires further study. Understanding the chaotic dynamics of infrared radiation wavefields can lead to advancements in high-performance detection, imaging, and recognition of weak, moving, time-varying signals. To extract the time series of the dynamic system, we have established a 4D time-space observing system. We then use the FFT transform on a random time series of frequency-band infrared data to obtain the fractional Brownian motion dimension, indicating a fractal structure in the atmospheric infrared radiation wavefield. By using time-delay analysis, we construct a dimensional phase space and compute the fractal dimension. We also observe that the first Lyapunov exponent remains positive in different phase spaces, leading to the initial conclusion that the atmospheric infrared wavefield is chaotic. To measure the chaotic strength of real cases in the time-space domain, we use the permutation entropy. These results serve as a foundation for further research, such as understanding the dynamic evolution mechanism of moving objects and their background wavefields, capturing time-varying signals, and making long-term nonlinear predictions of infrared wave behaviors in different domains.

      Spectral polarization imaging technology is a novel optical imaging technique that not only enhances the amount of information acquired from targets, but also reduces background noise, which can capture target details and detect disguised targets. This paper presents a spectro-polarimetric device by integrating subwavelength gratings with Fabry-Perot (F-P) filter, which can obtain ultra-high spectral resolution and polarization extinction ratio with high control flexibly on both spectrum and polarization. A spectro-polarimetric filter (SPF) has been designed to obtain 4 spectral channels of stokes parameters simultaneously. Simulation results show that it has a spectral resolution (SR, ) of 217 and a polarization extinction ratio (PER) of . The polarization extinction ratio of subwavelength grating is measured to be over 500 PER with 90% transmission efficiency. The spectral resolution of all-dielectric F-P filter is measured to be 30 with 60% transmission efficiency in the long wave infrared band. The designed method is universal and can be used in a wide range of wavelength bands such as visible, infrared, and even terahertz. It has great potential applications in fields such as micro-polarization spectrometers and full-stokes polarization detection, benefiting from these advantages.

      Abstract:

      The detection of ships and other sea targets is of great significance to sea surface management, national defense security, search and rescue, and other fields. Space-borne infrared remote sensing has a wide coverage and a short atmospheric path, which is an effective means to achieve wide-area detection of ship targets. Affected by the diurnal cycle of the solar zenith angle, the temperature difference between the ship and the sea surface changes periodically, resulting in a thermal crossover period twice a day in the ship detection scene on the sea surface. In this paper, taking the mid-latitude summer and winter sea surface environment as an example, the 24-hour infrared radiation characteristics of the sea surface ship detection scene are established, and a multi-spectrum optimal combination scheme is proposed, which is realized by the detection of dual detection spectrum bands of 3.50 -4.10 μm and 10.25-10.75 μm day and night continuous observation with signal-to-noise ratio better than 15. The proposed dual-spectrum detection method provides technical support for the application of wide-area all-time sea surface target detection.

      Abstract:

      A numerical calculation model of the narrow ridge waveguide was established based on the effective refractive index method. The relationship between the polarization characteristics and the transverse mode of the InGaAs quantum well narrow ridge waveguide semiconductor laser was studied experimentally. According to theoretical calculations, the effective refractive index difference of the TM-like mode in the ridge waveguide is larger in the direction of the slow axis. The confinement factors of the TM-like mode are larger than those of the TE-like mode, and the slow-axis high-order mode is more likely to appear. As the height of the ridge waveguide increases, the fast-axis high-order modes are truncated, and the confinement factor of the TE00-like mode gradually increases to be similar to that of the TM00-like mode. The slow-axis high-order mode is suppressed due to its large scattering loss, resulting in a theoretically high, highly polarized beam-quality laser output. In terms of experiments, a narrow ridge waveguide semiconductor laser with a high polarization extinction ratio and a fundamental transverse mode was fabricated by the gain polarization characteristics of quantum well materials and by designing the height and width of the ridge.

      In general, all known applications of high-power microwaves directly use energy to interact with matter. In recent years, with the development of powerful millimeter-wave radiation sources, microwave technology has gradually shifted towards the millimeter-wave frequency band. Due to the wavelength of radiation, millimeter waves have several unique characteristics, which allow for both the active development of existing technologies and the creation of new ones that require high power or radiation energy. This article provides an overview of research on the application of millimeter waves to solve problems in physics, material science, biomedicine, and others, including heating and diagnostics of thermonuclear plasma, processing and analysis of materials, biological effects, etc. The main difficulties arising in the implementation of the described tasks are presented, and the future development is also prospected.

      The absorption peaks of three cinnamic acid derivatives (CADs): p-coumaric acid (PCA), trans o-coumaric acid (OCA), and 4-fluorocinnamic acid (4-FCA) were measured using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) in the range of 0.5-3.5 THz. To identify the origins of the THz absorption peaks in the three samples, the density functional theory (DFT) was employed along with the vibrational mode automatic relevance determination (VMARD) method. Additionally, the molecular force field energy decomposition analysis (EDA-FF) was used to analyze the forms of weak intermolecular forces in the molecular systems. Visualization analysis was conducted through the visualization of molecular dynamics (VMD) using atom coloring to study the contribution types and strengths of weak intermolecular forces by atoms in the molecular systems. This combination of THz-TDS, DFT, VMARD, and EDA-FF methods not only effectively distinguishes organic molecules with structural isomers or structural similarities but also provides valuable reference data for uncovering their biochemical functionalities.

      Abstract:

      The demand for high-speed response mid-wave infrared (MWIR) photodetectors (PDs) is gradually increasing in emerging fields such as free-space optical communication and frequency comb spectroscopy. The XBnn barrier infrared photodetectors greatly suppress shot noise originated from the device dark current. In this work, InAsSb/AlAsSb/AlSb-based nBn and pBn barrier MWIR PDs were grown on GaSb substrates using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The GSG PDs were fabricated to realize the radio frequency (RF) response testing. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) results indicate that both epitaxial structures exhibit good crystal quality. The 90 μm diameter pBn PDs exhibit a lower dark current density of 0.145 A/cm2 compared to the nBn PDs operating at room temperature (RT) and a reverse bias of 400 mV, which indicates the uncooled barrier PDs perform with low noise. According to R0A results of PDs with different mesa diameters, the pBn PDs exhibit the surface resistivity of approximately 1.7×104 Ω·cm, higher than 3.1×103 Ω·cm of nBn PDs. The contributions of the R0A volume terms for pBn and nBn are 16.60 Ω·cm2 and 5.27 Ω·cm2, respectively. Capacitance tests reveal that the pBn PDs, operating at zero bias, show a fully depleted barrier layer and partially depleted absorption region, while the nBn absorption region also exhibits partial depletion. RF response characterization demonstrates that the 90 μm diameter pBn PDs achieve 3 dB bandwidth of 2.62 GHz at room temperature and under a 3 V reverse bias, which represents a 29.7% improvement over the corresponding nBn PDs, only achieving 3 dB bandwidth of 2.02 GHz.

      Abstract:

      In this paper, we demonstrated SiNx/AlN/GaN metal-insulator-semiconductor high electron mobility transistors (MIS-HEMTs) with low noise and high linearity, by in-situ growth of SiNx gate dielectrics on ultra-thin barrier AlN/GaN heterostructure. Deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) shows a traps-level depth of 0.236 eV, a capture cross-section of 3.06×10-19 cm-2, and an extracted interface state density of 1010 to 1012 cm-2eV-1; confirming the efficiency of the grown SiNx in reducing the interface state. The devices exhibit excellent DC, small signal, and power performance, with a maximum saturation output current (Idmax) of 2.2 A/mm at the gate voltage (Vgs) of 2V and the gate length of 0.15 μm, a maximum current cutoff frequency (fT) of 65 GHz, a maximum power cutoff frequency (fMAX) of 123 GHz, a minimum noise figure (NFmin) of the device of 1.07 dB and the gain of 9.93 dB at 40 GHz. The two-tone measurements at the Vds of 6V, yield a third-order intermodulation output power (OIP3) of 32.6 dBm, and OIP3/Pdc of 11.2 dB. Benefited from the high-quality SiNx/AlN interface, the MIS-HEMTs exhibited excellent low noise and high linearity, revealing its potential in applications of millimeter waves.

      Abstract:

      In this paper, we investigated the crystal quality of Mercury Cadmium Telluride (HgCdTe) materials in the key avalanche region of avalanche photodiode detectors (APDs) with MWIR PIN structure. We simulated the entire process of the PIN APD device on the experimental materials and used differential Hall testing and differential minority lifetime testing to evaluate the material’s real crystal quality in the key avalanche area. It is found that the crystal quality of the avalanche region under the optimized process is good. Its Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) lifetime is 20.7 μs, which can be comparable to that of the primary HgCdTe materials. This meets the development requirements for high-quality MWIR HgCdTe avalanche devices. Additionally, based on the obtained SRH lifetime in the avalanche region, we conducted corresponding two-dimensional numerical simulations on HgCdTe APD structural devices to determine the theoretically optimal dark current density of 8.7×10-10 A/cm2.

      Abstract:

      High image quality is crucial for cell experiments in space, as it requires the ability of remotely monitoring to grasp the progress and direction of experiments. However, due to space limitations and environmental factors, imaging equipment is strongly constrained in some performance, which directly affects the imaging quality and observation of cultivated targets. Moreover, experimental analysis on the ground requires tasks such as feature extraction and cell counting, but uneven lighting can seriously affect computer processing. Therefore, a method called STAR-ADF is proposed, and experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively remove noise, equalize illumination, and increase the enhancement evaluation index by 12.5% in comparison with original figures, which has certain robustness.

      Abstract:

      Low noise is a key requirement of readout integrated circuit (ROIC) in hyperspectral applications for its low radiation. Correlated double sampling (CDS) is commonly used to suppress noise. In this paper, CDS is improved by adjusting the time interval between the clamp and sample-and-hold (SH), which can filter low-frequency noise flexibly. A 640×512, 15 μm pixel pitch ROIC is designed and fabricated in 180 nm CMOS process. The input stage consists of low-noise capacitive trans-impedance amplifier (CTIA) and CDS with adjustable intervals (AICDS). A timing generator is proposed to extend the CDS reset time from 0 to 270 clock cycles. By extending the reset time to decrease the time interval, the noise electrons are significantly decreased from 39 e- to 18.3 e-. The SPECTRE simulation and the experimental results corroborate that the proposed structure AICDS can optimize noise performance of hyperspectral ROIC, thus can be widely used.

      Abstract:

      The response wavelength of the boron doped germanium (Ge:B) blocked-impurity-band (BIB) structured infrared detector can reach 200μm, which is the most important very long wavelength infrared astronomical detector. The ion implantation method greatly simplifies the fabrication process of the device, but it is easy to cause lattice damage, introduce crystalline defects, and lead to the increase of the dark current of detectors. Herein, the boron-doped germanium ion implantation process was studied, and the involved lattice damage mechanism was discussed. Experimental conditions involved using 80 keV energy for boron ion implantation, with doses ranging from 1×10^13 to 1×10^15cm^-2. After implantation, thermal annealing at 450°C was implemented to optimize dopant activation and mitigate the effects of ion implantation. Various sophisticated characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) were used to clarify lattice damage. At lower doses, no notable structural alterations were observed. However, as the dosage increased, specific micro distortions became apparent, which could be attributed to point defects and residual strain. The created lattice damage was recovered by thermal treatment, but an irreversible strain induced by implantation still existed at the high doses.

    • 300GHz OFDM Electronic Terahertz Wireless Transmission based on PS and DFT-S

      JIANG Lu-Han, YU Jian-Jun

      Abstract:

      To meet the high-speed and high-capacity demands of communication, a 300GHz electronic terahertz wireless transmission system is proposed, which incorporates Probability Shaping (PS), Discrete Multi-tone Modulation (DMT) and DFT-Spread (DFT-S) techniques. PS increases the Euclidean distance between constellation points, thereby enhancing the receiver sensitivity. In the system at most 55% bit error rate is decreased, enabling to extend transmission range. DFT-S technique reduces 1.68 dB peak-to-average power ratio of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signals in the system, thus improving their resistance to nonlinear effects. In the 300GHz terahertz wireless transmission system, 12GBaud PS-16QAM OFDM-DMT signals and 10GBaud PS-64QAM DFT-S-OFDM-DMT signals were successfully implemented in 1m wireless transmission. Finally, the performance advantages of these digital signal processing techniques were compared.

    • Lightweight Remote Sensing Scene Classification Based on Knowledge Distillation

      ZHANG Chong-Yang, WANG Bin

      Abstract:

      Remote sensing image scene classification aims to automatically assign a semantic label to each remote sensing image according to its content, and has become one of the hot topics in the field of remote sensing image processing. Methods based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and methods based on self-attention mechanism are two mainstream methods in remote sensing image scene classification. However, the former is less effective in exploring long-range contextual information, and the latter has limitations in learning local information and has a large number of parameters and calculations. In order to address these issues, a lightweight method based on knowledge distillation is proposed to solve the problem of scene classification for remote sensing images. The proposed method uses Swin Transformer and lightweight CNNs as the teacher model and the student models, respectively, and integrates the advantages of the two kinds of models by means of knowledge distillation. Furthermore, a novel distillation loss function is proposed to enable the student models to focus on both inter- and intra-class potential information of remote sensing images simultaneously. The experimental results on two large-scale remote sensing image datasets demonstrate that the proposed method not only achieves high classification accuracy compared to existing methods but also has a significantly reduced number of parameters and calculations.

      Abstract:

      As the cell size of uncooled infrared (IR) detectors progressively shrinks, it becomes increasingly important to increase detector absorption. here, an IMIAM (Insulator-Metal-Insulator-Air-Metal) cavity type metasurface uncooled IR detector structure is proposed, which effectively improves the uniformity of the photosensitive layer while enhancing the absorption of the detector.

      Abstract:

      This paper discusses the influence of Sb/In ratio on the transport properties and crystal quality of the 200 nm InAsxSb1-x thin film. The Sb content of InAsxSb1-x thin film in all sample was verified by HRXRD of the symmetrical 004 reflections and asymmetrical 115 reflections. The calculation results show that the Sb component is 0.6 in the InAsxSb1-x thin film grown under the conditions of Sb/In ratio of 6 and As/In ratio of 3, which has the highest electron mobility (28560 cm2/V·s) at 300 K. At the same time, the influence of V/III ratio on the transport properties and crystal quality of Al0.2In0.8Sb/InAsxSb1-x quantum well heterostructures also has been investigated. As a result, the Al0.2In0.8Sb/InAs0.4Sb0.6 quantum well heterostructure with a channel thickness of 30 nm grown under the conditions of Sb/In ratio of 6 and As/In ratio of 3 has a maximum electron mobility of 28300 cm2/V·s and a minimum RMS roughness of 0.68 nm. Through optimizing the growth conditions, our samples have higher electron mobility and smoother surface morphology.

    • High-precision spot centroid positioning of high-frame-rate short-wave infrared images for satellite laser communication

      FU Peng, HE Dao-Gang, LIU Jun, WANG Yue-Ming

      Abstract:

      The accuracy of spot centroid positioning has a significant impact on the tracking accuracy of the system and the stability of the laser link construction. In satellite laser communication systems, the use of short-wave infrared wavelengths as beacon light can reduce atmospheric absorption and signal attenuation. However, there are strong non-uniformity and blind pixels in the short-wave infrared image, which makes the image distorted and leads to the decrease of spot centroid positioning accuracy. Therefore, the high-precision localization of the spot centroid of the short-wave infrared images is of great research significance. A high-precision spot centroid positioning model for short-wave infrared is proposed to correct for non-uniformity and blind pixels in short-wave infrared images and quantify the localization errors caused by the two, further model-based localization error simulations are performed, and a novel spot centroid positioning payload for satellite laser communications has been designed using the latest 640×512 planar array InGaAs shortwave infrared detector. The experimental results show that the non-uniformity of the corrected image is reduced from 7% to 0.6%, the blind pixels rejection rate reaches 100%, the frame rate can be up to 2000 Hz, and the spot centroid localization accuracy is as high as 0.1 pixel point, which realizes high-precision spot centroid localization of high-frame-frequency short-wave infrared images. The payload has now passed the spaceflight environment screening experiment, and will subsequently be put into use as the core payload of satellite laser communication.

    • The different characteristics of front and backside configurations of photoreflectance based on grating spectrometer

      Zhan Jia, ZHA Fang-Xing, GU Yi

      Abstract:

      Photoreflectance (PR) has been widely used for the characterization of various semiconductors as well as their surface and interface properties due to its non-destructive and high sensitivity virtues. From the viewpoint of the employment of monochromator, the experimental setup may be classified into front and backside (or dark and bright) configurations, which were applied to characterize the heterostructure of InP/In0.52Ga0.48As/InP grown by molecular beam epitaxy. It reveals that the front configuration well separates the luminescence from the modulation signal while the backside configuration benefits the extraction of weak modulation signals with the employment of high excitation power. Based on the backside configuration, we also observed a below band-gap excitation phenomenon, i.e. that the modulation signal of InP exhibits under the excitation of energetically low modulation light (1064 nm laser). The result demonstrates that the backside configuration may be employed as a contactless electro-modulation technique for the characterization of wide band gap semiconductor heterostructures.

      LIU Mao-Fan, YU Chun-Lei, MA Ying-Jie, YU Yi-Zhen, YANG Bo, TIAN Yu, BAO Peng-Fei, CAO Jia-Sheng, LIU Yi, LI Xue

      Abstract:

      Theoretical and experimental investigations on the dual-diffusion behaviors of zinc atoms in InGaAs/InP single photon avalanche photodiode (SPAD) are performed. A formula of Xj=k(t-t0)^0.5+c to quantitatively predict the diffusion depth is obtained by fitting the simulated twice diffusion depths based on a two-dimensional (2D) model. The 2D impurity morphologies and the one dimensional impurity profiles for the dual-diffused region are characterized by using the scanning electron microscopy and the secondary ion mass spectrometry as a function of the diffusion depth respectively. InGaAs/InP SPAD devices with different dual-diffusion conditions are also fabricated which show breakdown behaviors well consistent with the simulated results under the same junction geometries. Dark count rate measurements are carried out as well. These results demonstrate an effective prediction route for accurately control of the dual-diffused zinc junction geometry in InP based planar device processing.

      Abstract:

      The effects of calcium fluoride (CaF2) doping on the optical and physical and chemical properties of Ytterbium fluoride (YbF3) materials were studied. Pure YbF3 thin films and YbF3 thin films doped with different proportions of CaF2 were deposited by electron beam and thermal evaporation, respectively. The characteristics of single layer were measured by spectrometer, stress measurement system, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) and other measuring devices. The optical constants were fitted by the classical Lorentz oscillator model. The results show that the single-layer film with better optical and physical and chemical properties is obtained by electron beam deposition, in the condition of 1% CaF2 doping. A long-wave infrared anti-reflection multi-layer sample was designed and fabricated and its spectrum and reliability test were carried out. The results show that its transmittance in the long-wave infrared region is as high as 99%, and the reliability meets the requirements of space application.

      CHEN Chen, TONG Xiao-Hua, LIU Shi-Jie, YE Zhen, WU Hao, ZHANG Han

      Abstract:

      The geometric accuracy of topographic mapping with high-resolution remote sensing images is inevitably affected by the obiter attitude jitter. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct preliminary research on the stereo mapping camera equipped on lunar orbiter before launching. In this work, an imaging simulation method considering the attitude jitter is presented. The impact analysis of different attitude jitter on terrain undulation is conducted by simulating jitter at three attitude angles, respectively. The proposed simulation method is based on the rigorous sensor model, using the lunar digital elevation model (DEM) and orthoimage as reference data. The orbit and attitude of the lunar stereo mapping camera are simulated while considering the attitude jitter. Two-dimensional simulated stereo images are generated according to the position and attitude of the orbiter in a given orbit. Experimental analyses were conducted by the DEM with the simulated stereo image. The simulation imaging results demonstrate that the proposed method can ensure imaging efficiency without losing the accuracy of topographic mapping. The effect of attitude jitter on the stereo mapping accuracy of the simulated images was analyzed through DEM comparison.

      Abstract:

      High-precision space debris measurement can provide more accurate real-time information of debris targets and enhance the effectiveness of satellite avoidance and early warning of space debris. The satellite laser ranging (SLR) and space debris laser ranging (DLR) experiments were carried out by using picosecond laser with pulse energy of 1.2 mJ and repetition frequency of 1 kHz. The atmospheric propagation characteristics of picosecond laser were studied and analyzed. The cooperative satellites measured distances from 500 km to 36000 km with ranging accuracy better than 2 cm. The maximum distance of space debris target measurement is 1620.5 km, the radar cross section (RCS) is 2.41 m2, and the ranging accuracy reaches 10.64 cm. It is realized that a single laser system can carry out centimeter-level precision ranging of cooperative targets and space debris observation. This is the first time in the world to use high repetition frequency and low power laser ranging system to achieve high precision measurement of space debris targets, reflecting the advantages of picosecond laser and high altitude large aperture telescope measurement, providing an effective way for space debris laser ranging system site selection and space debris monitoring capability enhancement.

      Abstract:

      Variations of extinction and microphysical properties in the upper haze of Venus will affect the chemistry and radiative balance of the Venus atmosphere. To study their spatial and temporal distribution, solar occultation data from Venus Express SPICAV SOIR instruments between 2006 and 2013 were analyzed. The absorption effects of the Venus' middle and upper atmosphere were first removed using MODTRAN modeling. The extinction profiles of the upper haze between 67~92 km were then retrieved using the onion-peeling method. The results show that: 1) The extinction coefficient of the upper haze generally decreased with increasing altitude. Large variations existed between different regions. The extinction at low latitudes increased sharply early in the mission and the average extinction coefficient of haze changes slightly between day and night. The vertical optical depth of the haze layer was on the order of 10-2. 2) The number density of the upper haze decreased with increasing altitude. From south to north pole, the number density first increased and then decreased. 3) Cloud top altitude is higher in low-latitude regions at 82.7 ± 5.8 km, whereas in polar regions cloud top altitude is lower with the the northern polar region at 73.3 ± 2.4 km, and the southern polar region at 79.5 ± 3.5 km. The average scale height of the upper haze layer in the northern polar region is 4.0 ± 0.9 km.

      WANG Zhen, ZHAO Bai-Qing, LI Jia-Geng, HAN Qin

      Abstract:

      To address the spatial constraints in unmanned aerial vehicle target detection systems, a scheme for a multi-beam scanning passively Q-switched microchip array solid-state laser was proposed. This system utilizes a six-core semiconductor laser array to compactly pump a strip-shaped Nd:YAG/Cr4+:YAG bonded crystal. At a pumping power of 1.6W per path, it generates six output laser beams with a wavelength of 1064.4nm, pulse width of 2.4ns, beam quality of 1.39, peak power of 3.75kW, and a repetition frequency up to 22kHz. The entire system's volume is only 2cm × 2cm × 1.5cm, and achieves simultaneous output of six laser paths. The study investigated the impact mechanism of the initial transmittance of the Q-switching crystal and the reflectivity of the output mirror on the laser pulse repetition frequency and peak power, with a particular focus on the uniformity of the laser output from the pump source cores. The feasibility of using a single laser-bonded crystal to produce multiple narrow pulse laser beams in the nanosecond range was experimentally verified. The research results demonstrate the miniaturized structure's ability to achieve multi-beam emission from a passively Q-switched solid-state laser, providing insights for the miniaturization and integration of laser sources in detection systems.

    • A novel self-alignment method for high precision silicon diffraction microlens arrays preparation and its integration with infrared focal plane arrays

      HOU Zhi-Jin, Chen Yan, Wang Xu-Dong, Wang Jian-Lu, Chu Jun-Hao

      Abstract:

      Silicon (Si) diffraction microlens arrays are usually used to integrating with infrared focal plane arrays (IRFPAs) to improve their performance. The errors of lithography are unavoidable in the process of the Si diffraction microlens arrays preparation in the conventional engraving method. It has a serious impact on its performance and subsequent applications. In response to the problem of errors of Si diffraction microlens arrays in the conventional method, a novel self-alignment method for high precision Si diffraction microlens arrays preparation is proposed. The accuracy of the Si diffractive microlens arrays preparation is determined by the accuracy of the first lithography mask in the novel self-alignment method. In the subsequent etching, the etched area will be protected by the mask layer and the sacrifice layer or the protective layer. The unprotection area is carved to effectively block the non-etching areas, accurately etch the etching area required, and solve the problem of errors. The high precision Si diffraction microlens arrays is obtained by the novel self-alignment method and the diffraction efficiency could reach 92.6 %. After integrating with IRFPAs, the average blackbody responsity increased by 8.3 %, and the average blackbody detectivity increased by 10.3 %. It indicates that the Si diffraction microlens arrays can improve the filling factor and reduce crosstalk of IRFPAs through convergence, thereby improving the performance of the IRFPAs. The results are of great reference significance for improving their performance through optimizing the preparation level of micro nano devices.

      张瑞, li Zheng

      Abstract:

      Infrared small target detection is a common task in infrared image processing, and computational resources are limited in application scenarios that require the use of infrared small target detection. Traditional IR small target detection methods face the problem of balancing detection rate and accuracy. In view of this, this paper designs a fast infrared small target detection method under resource-constrained conditions. This paper proposes a lightweight infrared small target detection method based on Yolo, which simultaneously takes into account the detection accuracy and detection rate of infrared targets. The experimental results show that the algorithm in this paper realizes the maximum 95FPS effective detection speed of infrared small targets on a 15W TPU, and at the same time achieves the maximum 91.9 effective detection accuracy, which effectively improves the detection efficiency of infrared small targets under resource-constrained conditions.

    • Investigation on p-type doping of PBn unipolar barrier InAsSb photodetectors

      Abstract:

      The lattice-matched XBn structures of InAsSb, grown on GaSb substrates exhibit high crystal quality, and can achieve extremely low dark current at high operating temperatures (HOT). Its superior performance is attributed to the unipolar barrier, which blocks the majority carriers while allowing unhindered hole transport. To further analyze the energy band and carrier transport mechanisms of the XBn unipolar barrier structure, this paper systematically investigates the influence of doping on the dark current, photocurrent, and tunneling characteristics of InAsSb photodetectors in the PBn structure. Three high-quality InAsSb samples with unintentionally doped absorb layers (AL) were prepared, with varying p-type doping concentrations in the GaSb contact layer (CL) and the AlAsSb barrier layer (BL). As the p-type doping concentration in the CL increased, the device’s turn-on bias voltage also increased, and p-type doping in the BL led to tunneling occurring at lower bias voltages. Notably, the sample with an unintentionally doped BL exhibited an extremely low dark current 5×10^-6 A/cm^2. The photocurrent characteristics of the unintentionally doped BL sample were well-fitted using a back-to-back diode model, revealing the presence of two opposing space charge regions on either side of the BL.

      MA Yuan, LIN Yu-Zhe, WAN Chen-Yang, WANG Zi-Xian, ZHOU Xu-Yan, ZHANG Jin-Chuan, LIU Feng-Qi, ZHENG Wan-Hua

      Abstract:

      We report on the performance improvement of long-wave infrared quantum cascade lasers (LWIR QCLs) by studying and optimizing the anti-reflection (AR) optical facet coating. Compared to Al2O3 AR coating, the Y2O3 AR coating exhibits higher catastrophic optical mirror damage (COMD) level, and the optical facet coatings of both material systems have no beam steering effect. A 3-mm-long, 9.5-μm-wide buried heterostructure (BH) LWIR QCL of λ ~ 8.5 μm with Y2O3 metallic high-reflection (HR) and AR of ~ 0.2 % reflectivity coating demonstrates a maximum pulsed peak power of 2.19 W at 298 K, which is 149% higher than that of uncoated device. For continuous-wave (CW) operation, by optimizing the reflectivity of the Y2O3 AR coating, the maximum output power reaches 0.73 W, which is 91% higher than the uncoated device.

      WU Jia-Hao, QIAO Hui, LI Xiang-Yang

      Abstract:

      A method for selecting parameters in HgCdTe crystals has been proposed, utilizing Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and clustering methods, with the establishment of a data model for screening the parameters of HgCdTe crystals. Within the model, initial crystal data undergoes a cleaning and analysis process. PCA is employed for dimensionality reduction, and the Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) algorithm is used to identify the densest regions within the crystal data. Furthermore, high-performance chip data, obtained post-processing, is utilized to fit boundary ellipses for high-quality HgCdTe crystal parameters. These ellipses act as criteria for identifying high-quality crystals. Capable of generating crystal ratings based on input electrical and optical parameters, the model achieves a coverage rate exceeding 90%.

      PENG Hong-ling, WEI Jia-Qi, SONG Chun-Xu, WANG Tian-Cai, CAO Peng, DENG Jie, CHEN Jian, Qian-Dong Zhuang, ZHENG Wan-Hua

      Abstract:

      Based on the current application requirements for wideband response photodetectors, we designed a novel silicon avalanche photodetector (Si APD) offers high response in a broad spectral range of 250-1100nm and is capable to achieve efficient detection of three bands of ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared light without the need of splicing. The enhancement of ultraviolet band and infrared band of silicon were separately analyzed. This was followed by simulation on the device structure designs using different methods such as back incidence, to improve short wavelength absorption while maintaining a high infrared absorption. The Si APD shows a peak wavelength at around 940nm and a high photoresponse at 250nm and 1100nm which exceed 15% of the peak responsivity. This type of device is suitable for multispectral applications and future high-precision detection.

    • Preparation of flexible low-loss ABS/Ag-coated terahertz hollow waveguide by plasma treatment and study on its transmission reliability

      LIU Sheng, SHEN Yuan-Jie, HOU Guang-Ning, ZHA Zhi-Peng, ZHU Yi-zhen, YU Shuo-Ying, ZHANG Qing-Tian, ZHAO Qiang, LIU Shao-Hua, JING Cheng-Bin, CHU Jun-Hao

      Abstract:

      The performance of the ABS/Ag-coated terahertz hollow waveguide (HWG) was improved through plasma treatment of the ABS structural tube. The adhesion of the silver (Ag) film to the ABS tube was enhanced from level 5 to level 2 after plasma treatment. The 4.2 mm bore waveguide sample treated with plasma has a more uniform and denser silver film than the untreated sample, which contributes to the reduction of transmission losses from 0.72 to 0.70 dB/m at 0.3 THz and 1.47 to 1.44 dB/m at 0.1 THz, respectively. After 200 hours of hydrothermal aging and 16 cycles of high and low temperature cycling testing, the straight loss of the HWG sample treated with plasma increased by less than 0.1 dB/m, while the untreated sample underwent an increase of more than 1.0 dB/m. The results indicate that the ABS/Ag-coated HWG fabricated by plasma treatment has lower loss, higher reliability and better anti-aging performance compared with the untreated sample. It can be potentially used for establishment of next-generation communication, sensing, and THz imaging systems.

    • Simulation analysis of the radiation terahertz wave characteristics of photoconductive antenna materials

      HOU Lei, WU Xiao-Bo, YANG Lei, SHI Wei, HANG Yu-Hua

      Abstract:

      The photoconductive antenna is a kind of widely used broadband terahertz (THz) radiation source in THz time-domain spectroscopy systems,and the substrate material of the antenna is crucial for the characteristics of generated THz wave. The widely used photoconductive antenna material is the second generation semiconductor of GaAs, while the third-generation semiconductor has a larger band gap, which is more advantageous for improving the power of THz wave from photoconductive antenna. In this work, the current surge model of large-aperture photoconductive antennas was used to simulate the characteristics of THz waves radiated by photoconductive antenna made by commonly used SI-GaAs and LT-GaAs, and the third-generation semiconductors (ZnSe, GaN, SiC) that are expected to be used in the future for photoconductive antennas. The results show that under the same bias electric field and their respective highest pump laser flux, LT-GaAs antenna generates the THz waves with the highest amplitude and widest frequency. The photoconductive antenna made by third-generation semiconductor materials can withstand higher bias electric fields, and the intensity of radiated THz waves is much greater than that from GaAs antennas. This work provides theoretical guidance for the development of new third-generation semiconductor photoconductive antennas.

    • Mid-wavelength infrared nBn photodetectors based on InAs/InAsSb type-II superlattice with an AlAsSb/InAsSb superlattice barrier

      SHAN Yi-Fan, WU Dong-Hai, XIE Ruo-Yu, ZHOU Wen-Guang, CHANG Fa-Ran, LI Nong, WANG Guo-Wei, JIANG Dong-Wei, HAO Hong-Yue, XU Ying-Qiang, NIU Zhi-Chuan

      Abstract:

      InAs/InAsSb type-II superlattice (T2SL) materials hold great promise for the development of mid-wavelength infrared photodetectors operating at high temperatures, as they avoid the defects caused by Ga atoms in InAs/GaSb T2SL and exhibit long minority carrier lifetime. To reduce dark current, minority carrier unipolar barrier structures, such as nBn detectors, are commonly employed. In mid-wavelength infrared InAs/InAsSb T2SL nBn photodetectors, multielement alloy such as AlAsSb is typically utilized as the barrier layer to block the transport of majority carriers. However, the small valence band offset (VBO) between the barrier and absorption layers leads to the saturation of photocurrent at high bias voltage, resulting in increased dark current. In this work, an AlAsSb/InAsSb T2SL barrier was designed to eliminate the VBO and reduce the bias dependency of quantum efficiency. The results show that the fabricated nBn photodetector exhibits a 50% cutoff wavelength of 4.5 μm at 150K. The optical response of the photodetector saturates under a small bias of -50 mV, achieving a peak responsivity of 1.82 A/W at 3.82 μm and a quantum efficiency of 58.8%. At 150 K and -50 mV applied bias, the photodetector exhibits a dark current density of 2.01×10-5 A/cm2 and a specific detectivity of 6.47×1011 cm.Hz1/2/W.

      CHEN Ze-Ji, HUANG You-Wen, PU En-Xiang, XIAO Hui-Shan, XU Shi-Chun, QIN Qiang, KONG Jin-Cheng

      Abstract:

      A medium wave (MW) 640×512 (25 μm) Mercury Cadmium Telluride (HgCdTe) polarimetric focal plane array (FPA) was demonstrated. The micro-polarizer arrays (MPA) has been carefully designed in terms of line grating structure optimization and crosstalk suppression. An on-chip micro-nano fabrication process with low damage was explored, which was verified to be compatible well with HgCdTe devices. After monolithic integration of MPA, NETD < 9.5 mK was still maintained. Furthermore, to figure out the underlying mechanism that dominates extinction ratio (ER), specialized MPA layouts were designed, and the crosstalk was experimentally validated as the major source that impacts ER. By expanding opaque regions at pixel edges to 4 μm, crosstalk rates from adjacent pixels can be effectively reduced to approximately 2%, and promising ERs ranging from 17.32 to 27.41 were implemented.

    • Modified Multiple-Component Scattering Power Decomposition for PolSAR Data based on Eigenspace of Coherency Matrix

      ZHANG Shuang, WANG Lu, WANG Wen-QING

      Abstract:

      A modified multiple-component scattering power decomposition for analyzing polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) data is proposed in this letter. The modified decomposition involves two distinct steps. Firstly, eigenvectors of the coherency matrix are used to modify the scattering models. Secondly, the entropy and anisotropy are used to improve the volume scattering power. With the guarantee of high double-bounce scattering power in the urban areas, the proposed algorithm effectively improves the volume scattering power of vegetation areas. The efficacy of the modified multiple-component scattering power decomposition is validated using actual AIRSAR PolSAR data. The scattering powers obtained through decomposing the original coherency matrix and the coherency matrix after orientation angle compensation are compared with three algorithms. Results from the experiment demonstrate that the proposed decomposition yields more effective scattering powers for representing the PolSAR dataset.

    • Structural design of mid-infrared waveguide detectors based on InAs/GaAsSb superlattice

      PEI Jin-Di, CHAI Xu-Liang, WANG Yu-Peng, ZHOU Yi

      Abstract:

      In the near-infrared, spectroscopic detection of molecules has been achieved using on-chip waveguides and resonators. However, in the mid-infrared band, many sensors still rely on off-chip light sources and detectors, which limit the integration and sensitivity of chemical sensing chips. Here, we demonstrate an InAs/GaAsSb superlattice mid-infrared waveguide integrated detector. The GaAsSb waveguide layer and the InAs/GaAsSb superlattice absorbing layer are coupled via the evanescent coupling, enabling low-loss and high-performance mid-infrared light detection. We simulated the photoelectricity characteristics of the device, analyzed the factors influencing the integration of the InAs/GaAsSb superlattice photodetector and the GaAsSb waveguide. Optimal thicknesses and lengths for the absorption layer are determined. With minimal noise equivalent power, the quantum efficiency can reach 68.9%. The waveguide detector based on Ⅲ-V materials is easier to integrate mid-infrared light source and realize the on-chip photoelectric detection chip.

      ZHAO Ren-Ze, GAO Xin, FU Ding-Yang, ZHANG Yue, SU Peng, BO Bao-Xue

      Abstract:

      In long-cavity edge-emitting diode lasers, longitudinal spatial hole burning (LSHB), two-photon absorption(TPA) and free carrier absorption(FCA) are among the key factors affecting the linear increase in output power at high injection currents. In this paper, a simplified numerical analysis model is proposed for 1.06um wavelength long-cavity diode lasers by combining TPA and FCA losses with one-dimensional(1D) rate equations. The effects of LSHB, TPA and FCA on the output characteristics are systematically analyzed, and it is proposed that the front facet reflectivity and the position of the quantum well(QW) in the waveguide can be adjusted to improve the front facet output power.

    • Terahertz imaging super-resolution algorithm based on spatial curve filling

      YANG Mo-Xuan, ZHAO Yuan-Meng, LIU Hao-XIN, LIU Yi, WU You, ZHANG Cun-Lin

      Abstract:

      The performance of radiation sources and detectors currently limits terahertz imaging technology, which still requires further improvement in terms of detail resolution, imaging speed, and noise suppression. This paper proposes a terahertz image super-resolution algorithm based on spatial curve filling. The ViT (Vision Transformer) structure backbone network is utilized to extract terahertz image features through an attention mechanism. A Hilbert spatial curve is constructed to reconstruct the image according to the feature map using the curve filling method. Lightweight one-dimensional convolution processing is used for reconstructing image features, while inverse transformation of reconstructed maps restores the image"s spatial structure. Finally, pixel reorganization enables upsampling to obtain an output image with enhanced object contour and details. Experimental results show that compared with conventional ViT structures, this proposed method improves Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) by 0.81 dB and Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) by 0.0074 effectively suppressing noise influence on texture while significantly improving resolution resulting in images with improved quality.

    • An improved ASM-HEMT model for kink effect on GaN microwave devices

      WANG Shuai, CHENG Ai-Qiang, GE Chen, CHEN Dun-Jun, LIU Jun, DING Da-Zhi

      Abstract:

      With the analysis of experiment and theory on GaN HEMT devices under DC sweep, an improved model for kink effect based on ASM-HEMT is proposed, considering the relationship between the drain/gate-source voltage and kink effect. The improved model can not only accurately describe the trend of the drain-source current with current collapse and kink effect, but also precisely fit different values of drain-source voltages at which kink effect occurs under different gate-source voltages. Furthermore, it well characterizes the DC characteristics of GaN devices in the full operating range, with the fitting error less than 3%. To further verify the accuracy and convergence of the improved model, a load-pull system is built in ADS. The simulated result shows that although both the original ASM-HEMT and the improved model can predict the output power of GaN devices well, the improved model predicts the efficiency more accurately, 4% higher than the original ASM-HEMT.

      CHENG Ru-Min, SUN Jia-Hao, WU Jia-Gui, GUO Deng-Ji, XU Jiao, YANG Jun-Bo, YAN Pei-Guang

      Abstract:

      The optical frequency combs(OFCs) generation of silicon nitride microcavities in the 2 μm band is investigated. Dispersion modulation of silicon nitride waveguides is carried out by geometrical design, appropriate bus waveguide dimensions are selected, and the thermal refraction noise of silicon nitride microcavities at different modulation frequencies is discussed from the thermal absorption theory. The nonlinear Schr?dinger equation is used as the basic model to study the evolution of the cavity under different dispersion effects. The numerical results show that silicon nitride is able to observe the hysteretic state transition of the system, i.e., the relaxation oscillation phenomenon during the transition of the system to the stable domain, more clearly in the 2 μm band, and at the same time, the cavity is able to transition to the steady state soliton faster under the action of the higher-order dispersion, which provides a scheme to study the respiratory soliton.

      KANG Ya-Ru, DONG Hui, LIU Jing, HUANG Zhen, LI Zhao-Feng, YAN Wei, WANG Xiao-Dong

      Abstract:

      For the high-electron-mobility transistor(HEMT) terahertz detector with a side-gate structure, a physical model for DC transport and terahertz detection of the device was constructed. Using a self-alignment process, well-shaped and reliable contacts for the side-gate structure were successfully fabricated, effectively solving contact issues between the dual gates and the mesa. Ultimately, terahertz detectors with different gate widths(200 nm, 800 nm, and 1400 nm) of side-gate GaN/AlGaN HEMTs were obtained. DC tests revealed a clear linear relationship between the gate width of different devices and their threshold voltage, confirming the DC transport model of the side-gate HEMT terahertz detector. These results provide experimental verification and guidance for the theoretical model of the complete side-gate HEMT terahertz detector, offering significant support for the development of side-gate HEMT terahertz detectors.

      Abstract:

      The particle filter is an effective technique for the state estimation in non-linear and non-Gaussian dynamic systems. A novel method for infrared object robust tracking based on particle filters was proposed. Under the theory framework of particle filters, the posterior distribution of the infrared object is approximated by a set of weighted samples, while infrared object tracking is implemented by the Bayesian propagation of the sample set. The state transition model is chosen as the simple second-order auto-regressive model, and the system noise variance is adaptively determined in infrared object tracking. Infrared objects are represented by the intensity distribution, which is defined by the kernel-based density estimation. By calculating the Bhattacharyya distance between the object reference distribution and the object sample distribution, the observation probability model is constructed. Experimental results show that our method is effective and steady.

      A segmentation model that combines the Mumford Shah(M S) model and narrow band scheme of level set was presented. The disadvantage of Mumford Shah model is computationally time consuming. In each step of its iteration, the data of whole image have to be renewed, which is unbearable for segmentation of large image or 3D image. Therefore, a fast segmentation model was introduce, which combines the M S model and narrow band scheme by a new initialization method. The new initialization method is based on fast marching method, and the computing time decreases to O(N) . In each step of iteration, the new segmentation model only deals with the data in a narrow band instead of the whole image. The experiments show that the two models can obtain almost the same segmentation result, but the computing time of new narrow band M S model is much less than that of M S model.

      Abstract:

      Image segmentation is one of the difficult problems in computer vision research. Recently spectral clustering has a wide application in pattern recognition and image segmentation. Compared with traditional clustering methods, it can cluster samples in any form feature space and has a global optimal solution. Originating from the equivalence between the spectral clustering and weighted kernel K-means, the authors proposed a spectral clustering algorithm with spatial constraints based on the spatially coherent property of images, also named continuous property. The spatially coherent property means that pixels in the neighbor region should share the same label assignment with the centre one with a high probability. The algorithm adds a term of spatial constraints to the objective function of weighted kernel K-means and makes the minimization of the objective function be equivalent to the spectral clustering through approximation. Experimental results show that our proposed algorithm outperforms the traditional spectral clustering in image segmentation.

      A new image retrieval algorithm based on image entropy and spatial distribution entropy was presented. At first a more robust method, which can remove the influence of the symmetry of entropy, was proposed to extract the global color feature. Then color spatial distribution entropy vector for each color channel was also introduced to represent the spatial color information. After that, the moments were adopted to reduce the dimension of color spatial distribution entropy. In the end, a low dimensional vector which includes the global and spatial information was used as index for color image retrieval. The experiment results show that the new method gives better performance than color histogram.

      Abstract:

      Traditional fire detection methods use the high temperature emission characteristics in mid or thermal infrared bands of the MODIS or AVHRR data to extract burning area. It is very hard for these methods to identify small fire regions such as sub-pixel due to the limitation of spatial resolution. Recently researchers have found that shortwave infrared (SWIR) data can also be used to identify and detect high temperature targets. Compared with the thermal infrared data, SWIR has a big discrimination against different features with different temperature. Thus it can identify accurately the location of high temperature targets. In this paper, we acquired fire point products by using Landsat-8 OLI data which has spatial resolution up to 30 m. The main procedure includes two steps. The improved Normalized Burning Ratio Short-wave(NBRS) is calculated at first to adaptively acquire suspected fire points based on the spectral characteristics of fire points in the near infrared and shortwave infrared. Then most false positive points are excluded based on the relationship between peak value in shortwave infrared band of fire points. This algorithm is capable of detecting the burning area around 10% in one pixel. With the premise of avoiding the interference of cloud and constructions, it can also keep a nearly 90% accuracy and low missing rate around 10%.

      Abstract:

      By adjusting the effective permittivity of the unit cell, a new method of constructing metamaterial band-pass frequency selective surface was proposed. The effective permittivity of continuous conducting wires is negative below the plasma frequency and thus a stop-band occurs. By combining the continuous conducting wires with cut wires, we realized a one-dimensional frequency selective surface. Both the theory analysis and simulation results demonstrated the facility and feasibility of the method. We also designed a wide-angle and polarization-independent frequency selective surface based on this method. Two samples were fabricated to validate the proposed method; the experiment results were fairly consistent with the simulation results. The proposed method eliminates the complicated calculation and excessive parameter optimization process. It paves a new way of designing frequency selective surfaces and is of important reference values for fabricating THz frequency selective surface as well as multi-band, tunable and miniaturized frequency selective surfaces.

      Abstract:

      Under the background of safety inspection, the key technologies of near-range passive millimeter wave focal plane array imaging are studied. The analysis of the system quasi-optics were carried out using fundamental Gaussian beam method combined with geometrical optics method. A multi-beam wide-angle scanning lens antenna was designed. A new dielectric rod antenna was devised, which is prone to be aligned in close arrays and provide good radiation to the lens. Miniaturized direct-detection radiometers were fabricated with high-sensitive in Ka-band . Experimental results of the 20-channel passive millimeter wave focal plane array imaging system are presented, which can be used to detect hidden objects on human bodies in near range indoors.

      Abstract:

      In order to overcome the serious background interferences for small target detection of hyperspectral imagery, a nonlinear anomaly detection algorithm based on the background residual error data was proposed. After the background endmembers were extracted, spectral unmixing technique was applied to all mixed spectral pixels to separate target information from complicated background clutter.Then, the unmixing residual error data that included abundant target information was mapped into a high-dimensional feature space by a nonlinear mapping function. Nonlinear information between the spectral bands of hyperspectral imagery was exploited and the anomaly targets could be detected by using RX operator in the feature space. Thus, the ninlinear statistical characteristics between the hyperspectral bands were used effectively on the basis of suppressing the large probability background information. Numerical experiments were conducted on real AVIRIS data to validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. The detection results were compared with those detected by the classical RX algorithm and KRS which did not suppress the backguound information. The results show that the proposed algorithm has better detection performance, lower false alarm probability and lower computational complexity than other detection algorithms.

      Abstract:

      Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a microwave remote sensing radar with capability of all-day and all-weather imaging. Millimeter-wave SAR has become important for development of SAR with the advantage of small volume, light weight, and high resolution. The basic principle for high resolution imaging of millimeter-wave SAR is analyzed, and the advantage of millimeter-wave SAR is present. The state-of-art in the development of millimeter-wave SAR technologies and systems are illustrated with some typical millimeter-wave SAR systems. The application prospects, some issues, and future development trend of millimeter-wave SAR are also discussed.

      Abstract:

      A new deep convolutional network for detecting small targets in infrared images is proposed. The problem of small targets detection is transformed into the classification of small targets’ location distribution. First, a Fully Convolutional Networks is used for enhancing and initially screening the small targets. After that, the original image and the background suppressed image are selected as the inputs for classification network which is used for the follow-up screening, and then the SEnet (Squeeze-and-Excitation Networks) is used to select the feature maps. The experimental results show that the detection network is superior to multiple typical infrared small target detection methods and has an excellent result on different signal-to-noise ratio,different scenes and motion blur targets.
