Development of an Intra-Layer Adaptive Toolpath Generation Control Procedure in the Laser Metal Wire Deposition Process
摘要： Recently developed concentric laser metal wire deposition (LMWD) heads allow metal addition processes which are independent of the deposition direction, thus enabling complex paths to be generated. The sensitivity of the process to height deviations has experimentally been observed to be greater with this type of head than with powder ones, therefore requiring more precise and local process control algorithms to be implemented. This work developed a methodology for measuring the part, layer by layer, using a 3D scanner based on structured laser light. Height corrections were applied to the mean and intra-layer height deviations by recalculating the deposition trajectories of the next layer to be deposited. Local height deviations were adjusted by varying the scanning speed, thus increasing the feed rate in the lower areas and decreasing it in the higher ones. Defects generated in the purpose, with height differences within the layer, were successfully corrected. A flat layer was re-established through the application of the control strategy. The internal integrity of the parts due to the scanning speed variation was analyzed, resulting in fully dense parts. The structured light measurement and height correction systems are found to be an affordable and time-efficient solution that can be integrated into an LMWD environment, thereby improving the process robustness.

Graphene Heterostructure Integrated Optical Fiber Bragg Grating for Light Motion Tracking and Ultrabroadband Photodetection from 400 nm to 10.768 μm
摘要： Integrated photonics and optoelectronics devices based on graphene and related 2D materials are at the core of the future industrial revolution, facilitating compact and flexible nanophotonic devices. Tracking and detecting the motion of broadband light in millimeter to nanometer scale is an unfold science which has not been fully explored. In this work, tracking and detecting the motion of light (millimeter precision) is first demonstrated by integrating graphene with an optical fiber Bragg grating device (graphene-FBG). When the incident light moves toward and away from the graphene-FBG device, the Bragg wavelength red-shifts and blue-shifts, indicating its light motion tracking ability. Such light tracking capability can be further extended to an ultrabroad wavelength range as all-optical photodetectors show the robust response from 400 nm to 10.768 μm with a linear optical response. Interestingly, it is found that graphene-Bi2Te3 heterostructure on FBG shows 87% higher photoresponse than graphene-FBG at both visible and telecom wavelengths, due to stronger phonon-electron coupling and photo-thermal conversion in the heterostructure. The device also shows superior stability even after 100 d. This work may open up amazing integrated nanophotonics applications such as astrophysics, optical communication, optical computing, optical logic gating, spectroscopy, and laser biology.

Analysis of optical injection on red and blue laser diodes for high bit-rate visible light communication
摘要： In this work, self-injection and external-injection in ～450 nm InGaN/GaN blue and ～650 nm InGaP/AlGaInP red diode lasers are investigated. A distinct locking characteristic is observed in the self-injection case with small 19 cm cavity length, demonstrating enhanced ～2.34 and ～2.07 GHz 3-dB bandwidths, corresponding to a factor of ～1.4 and ～1.1 improvement, and reduced ～60 and ～80 pm spectral linewidths, for the blue and the red lasers, respectively. Moreover, this short external cavity self-injection locked system exhibited superior performance by a factor of 1.1–1.3 compared to the long cavity (26 cm) configuration. Conversely, the external optical injection exhibited weak locking signature with improved linewidths by a factor of ～1.6–2.8 and reaching as small as ～70 and ～87 pm for the blue laser, respectively, while almost doubling in the peak powers. Later, on–off keying modulation technique based data transmission rates of up to 3.5 and 4.5 Gb/s are demonstrated on free-running blue and red laser diodes, respectively, employing an in-house laser diode mount based system. Moreover, owing to the bandwidth limitation of the optically injected systems, successful transmission of up to 2 Gb/s is demonstrated with better performance compared to the respective free-running cases, in particular, the external-optically injected system demonstrated more than double improvement in the bit-error-rate.

Tuning Bandgap of Mixed-Halide Perovskite for Improved Photovoltaic Performance Under Monochromatic-Light Illumination
摘要： Organic–inorganic halide perovskites have emerged as promising materials for optoelectronic devices. This paper focuses on a new application field for perovskite materials as monochromatic-light conversion devices. First the optical properties of organic–inorganic perovskite semiconductors with bandgaps varying from near-infrared to visible at room temperature are presented. Two types of hybrid organic–inorganic mixed-halide perovskites, (FAPbI3)x(MAPbBr3)1-x and FA0.85MA0.15Pb(IxBr1-x)3, are adopted for bandgap tuning, an approximate linear variation of bandgaps with the x value is obtained. The relationship between thin film composition and device performance are investigated. Based on the results of the above bandgap tuning, two kinds of devices with bandgap near the wavelength of 683 nm are characterized under monochromatic-light illumination. A conversion efficiency of up to 40% under 60 mW cm?2 monochromatic-light illumination is achieved. The results confirm that the perovskite films exhibit sharp optical absorption edge, enabling highly efficient monochromatic-light conversion device.

Super-resolution Mapping of Enhanced Emission by Collective Plasmonic Resonances
摘要： Plasmonic particle arrays have remarkable optical properties originating from their collective behavior, which results in resonances with narrow line widths and enhanced electric fields extending far into the surrounding medium. Such resonances can be exploited for applications in strong light?matter coupling, sensing, lasing, and light harvesting, nonlinear nanophotonics, solid-state lighting. However, as the lattice constants associated with plasmonic particle arrays are on the order of their resonance wavelengths, mapping the interaction between point dipoles and plasmonic particle arrays cannot be done with diffraction-limited methods. Here, we map the enhanced emission of single fluorescent molecules coupled to a plasmonic particle array with ～20 nm in-plane resolution by using stochastic super-resolution microscopy. We find that extended lattice resonances have minimal influence on the spontaneous decay rate of an emitter but instead can be exploited to enhance the outcoupling and directivity of the emission. Our results can guide the rational design of future optical devices based on plasmonic particle arrays.

Fluorescence microscope light source stability
摘要： The process of fluorescence starts with the efficient generation of light that is required for the excitation of fluorophores. As such, light sources are a crucial component of a fluorescence microscope. Choosing the right illumination tool can not only improve the quality of experimental results, but also the microscope’s economic and environmental footprint. While arc lamps have historically proven to be a reliable light source for widefield fluorescence microscopy, solid-state light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have become the light source of choice for new fluorescence microscopy systems. In this paper, we demonstrate that LEDs have superior light stability on all timescales tested and use less electrical power than traditional light sources when used at lower power outputs. They can be readily switched on and off electronically, have a longer lifetime and they do not contain mercury, and thus are better for the environment. We demonstrate that it is important to measure light source power output during warm-up and switching, as a light source’s responsiveness (in terms of power) can be quite variable. Several general protocols for testing light source stability are presented. A detailed life cycle analysis shows that an LED light source can have a fourfold lower environmental impact when compared to a metal halide source.

Aggregation-Induced Emission: Lighting Up hERG Potassium Channel
摘要： Based on the scaffold of astemizole and E-4031, four AIE light-up probes (L1–L4) for Human Ether-a-go-go-Related Gene (hERG) potassium channel were developed herein using AIE fluorogen(TPE). These probes showing advantages such as low background interference, superior photostability, acceptable cell toxicity, and potent inhibitory activity, which could be used to image hERG channels at the nanomolar level. These AIE light-up probes hoped to provide guidelines for the design of more advanced AIE sensing and imaging hERG channels to a broad range of applications.

Modulating Protein-Protein Interactions with Visible-Light Responsive Peptide Backbone Photoswitches
摘要： Life relies on a myriad of carefully orchestrated processes, in which proteins and their direct interplay ultimately determine cellular function and disease. Modulation of these complex cross-talks has recently attracted attention, even as a novel therapeutic strategy. Here, we describe the synthesis and characterization of two visible-light responsive peptide backbone photoswitches based on azobenzene derivatives to exert optical control over protein-protein interactions (PPI). Our novel peptidomimetics undergo fast isomerization and reversibility with low photochemical fatigue under alternatively blue/green-light irradiation cycles. Both bind in the nanomolar rage to the protein of interest. Importantly, our best peptidomimetic displays a clear difference between isomers in its protein-binding capacity and, in turn, in its potential to inhibit enzymatic activity via PPI disruption. In addition, crystal structure determination, docking and MD calculations give a molecular interpretation and open new avenues in the design and synthesis of future photoswitchable PPI modulators.

An opsin 5–dopamine pathway mediates light-dependent vascular development in the eye
摘要： During mouse postnatal eye development, the embryonic hyaloid vascular network regresses from the vitreous as an adaption for high-acuity vision. This process occurs with precisely controlled timing. Here, we show that opsin 5 (OPN5; also known as neuropsin)-dependent retinal light responses regulate vascular development in the postnatal eye. In Opn5-null mice, hyaloid vessels regress precociously. We demonstrate that 380-nm light stimulation via OPN5 and VGAT (the vesicular GABA/glycine transporter) in retinal ganglion cells enhances the activity of inner retinal DAT (also known as SLC6A3; a dopamine reuptake transporter) and thus suppresses vitreal dopamine. In turn, dopamine acts directly on hyaloid vascular endothelial cells to suppress the activity of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and promote hyaloid vessel regression. With OPN5 loss of function, the vitreous dopamine level is elevated and results in premature hyaloid regression. These investigations identify violet light as a developmental timing cue that, via an OPN5–dopamine pathway, regulates optic axis clearance in preparation for visual function.

A novel light source provided by photobacteria to improve the growth of microalgal biofilm
摘要： Attached microalgae cultivation for biomass/bioenergy production has been proposed these decades to avoid the energy-intensive harvest process. However, the external light could only propagate < 200 μm in bio?lm, which inhibits the growth of microalgae in deep layer. In this paper, the possibility of using inner light emitted by mix-cultured photobacteria for attached microalgae growth was investigated. The luminance of photobacteria gradually increased along with their growth. However, it would fade after approximately 14 h in one-time feed cultivation, which could be recovered by refreshing medium. By scattering photobacteria in the middle of microalgae, light emitted from photobacteria could be utilized for the photosynthesis of microalgae. It was found that the involvement of photobacteria could promote the algal bio?lm growth from 9.6 mg to 11.5 mg under the natural condition for a 7-day cultivation, which needed to be further strengthened.
