Comparison of nonclassical properties resulting from non-Gaussian operations
摘要： Based on an asymmetrical beam splitter (ABS) and conditional measurement, we have investigated the nonclassical properties of non-Gaussian states in a unified form, including photon subtraction, photon addition and quantum catalysis, by deriving analytical expressions for photon number, squeezing effect, Mandel Q parameter and Wigner function. It is found that these properties not only depend on squeezing parameter and measurement, but also on the transmissivity of the ABS. Photon addition and quantum catalysis present a higher probability in the regions of low and high transmissivity, respectively. Although both single-photon subtraction and addition share a clear negative volume, the latter is considered to be a better choice for producing nonclassical states than the two others, if both success probability and negative volume in the small squeezing region are taken into consideration. Quantum catalysis is better in the large squeezing region and with low transmissivity. These results provide some reference for generating such non-Gaussian states.

Microscopy of the Heart || Optical Sectioning Microscopy at ‘Temporal Super-Resolution’
摘要： Within the recent years several super-resolution microscopic methods were developed, where the super-resolution refers to bringing the optical resolution beyond the diffraction limit introduced by Ernst Abbe, which was believed to be a real limit for quite some time. The popularity of the method also in cardiac related research can be followed in the chapter ‘Quantitative super-resolution microscopy of cardiac myocytes’ in this book. In parallel to this spatial super-resolution progress, within the past two decades there was a dynamic development of high speed–high resolution imaging initially towards video-rate (30 frames per second, also referred to as ‘real time’-imaging) but soon to ever increasing frame rates reaching the kHz order of magnitude these days. Many processes, especially those in excitable cells such as neurons and cardiomyocytes [1] or cells in ?ow like erythrocytes or leukocytes [2], require even higher temporal resolution to elucidate the kinetics of processes like the Excitation-Contraction Coupling (ECC). Such ultra high speed recordings still require a diffraction limited spatial resolution to correlate function and subcellular structures [3]. Within this chapter we review optical sectioning microscopy and their application in cellular cardiology. In this approach we focus on methods that allow to access any part of the cell, i.e. we exclude methods that are intrinsically limited to surface investigations like total internal re?ection ?uorescence (TIRF) microscopy [4] or scanning near ?eld optical microscopy (SNOM) [5]. In similarity we exclude techniques that require several images to calculate an image section such as deconvolution microscopy [6] or structured illumination microscopy [7] (e.g., Apotome.2, Zeiss, Jena, Germany).

Ultrafast Protein Response in Channelrhodopsin-2 Studied by Time-Resolved IR Spectroscopy
摘要： Ultrafast IR transient absorption in the carbonyl vibrational region of protonated aspartate and glutamate residues in Channelrhodopsin-2 from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii shows immediate protein response to retinal excitation. The observed difference bands are formed directly after the excitation on the sub-ps time scale and were assigned to side chains in the retinal vicinity, such as D156 and E90. This finding implies an ultrafast and effective energy transfer from the retinal to its environment via hydrogen-bonded networks and reveals extraordinary strong chromophore-protein coupling and intense interaction within the protein. Relevance on the protein function as optically gated ion channel are discussed.

Excitation conditions of several fundamental nonlinear waves on continuous-wave background
摘要： We study the excitation conditions of antidark solitons and nonrational W-shaped solitons in a nonlinear fiber with both third-order and fourth-order effects. We show that the relative phase can be used to distinguish antidark solitons and nonrational W-shaped solitons. The excitation conditions of these well-known fundamental nonlinear waves (on a continuous-wave background) can be clarified clearly by the relative phase and three previously reported parameters (background frequency, perturbation frequency, and perturbation energy). Moreover, the numerical simulations from the nonideal initial states also support these theoretical results. These results provide an important complement for the studies on relationship between modulation instability and nonlinear wave excitations, and are helpful for controllable nonlinear excitations in experiments.

Polarization Properties and Polarization Depth Profiles of (Cd:Zn)S/P(VDF-TrFE) Composite Films in Dependence of Optical Excitation
摘要： The influence of optical excitation intensity on the electrical, ferroelectric and pyroelectric properties of ferroelectric-semiconductor-composites was investigated. For this purpose, composite thin films consisting of poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) and 10 vol % (Cd:Zn)S particles with a thickness of 34 μm were fabricated. The samples were used to measure the absolute pyrocoefficient and to determine the relative pyroelectric depth profile using Laser Intensity Modulated Method. It was shown that a polarization of the samples without an optical excitation at the utilized relatively small peak-to-peak voltages could not be verified by the Sawyer–Tower circuit and the measurement setup of the pyroelectric coefficient, respectively. Both remanent polarization and pyroelectric coefficients increased with increasing optical excitation intensity during poling as well as increasing peak-to-peak voltage. The pyrocoefficient shows a temporal decay in the first hours after poling. The specific heat and thermal conductivity or the thermal diffusivity are required for the calibration of the pyroelectric depth profile. Rule of mixture and photo-acoustic investigations proved that the thermal properties of the utilized composites do not differ significantly from those of the pristine polymer. Based on the pyroelectric depth profile which is proportional to the polarization profile, the existing “three phase model” has been extended to generate a replacement circuit diagram, explaining the local polarization due to the optical excitation dependency for both local resistivity and local field strength.

Deep Learning Spectroscopy: Neural Networks for Molecular Excitation Spectra
摘要： Deep learning methods for the prediction of molecular excitation spectra are presented. For the example of the electronic density of states of 132k organic molecules, three different neural network architectures: multilayer perceptron (MLP), convolutional neural network (CNN), and deep tensor neural network (DTNN) are trained and assessed. The inputs for the neural networks are the coordinates and charges of the constituent atoms of each molecule. Already, the MLP is able to learn spectra, but the root mean square error (RMSE) is still as high as 0.3 eV. The learning quality improves significantly for the CNN (RMSE = 0.23 eV) and reaches its best performance for the DTNN (RMSE = 0.19 eV). Both CNN and DTNN capture even small nuances in the spectral shape. In a showcase application of this method, the structures of 10k previously unseen organic molecules are scanned and instant spectra predictions are obtained to identify molecules for potential applications.

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active molecules bearing singlet oxygen generation activities: the tunable singlet–triplet energy gap matters
摘要： Herein, a series of photosensitizers were constructed of a, b and c-isomers of terpyridine and the corresponding N-methylation derivatives. Benefiting from the tunable singlet–triplet energy gap and aggregation-induced emission characteristics, two-photon active photosensitizers L2b and L2c showed relatively strong intersystem crossing facilitating 1O2 generation and cell apoptosis with near-infrared excitation.

Reliability of rare-earth-doped infrared luminescent nanothermometers
摘要： The use of infrared-emitting rare-earth-doped luminescent nanoparticles as nanothermometers has attracted great attention during the last few years. The scientific community has identified rare-earth-doped luminescent nanoparticles as one of the most sensitive and versatile systems for contactless local temperature sensing in a great variety of fields, but especially in nanomedicine. Researchers are nowadays focused on the design and development of multifunctional nanothermometers with new spectral operation ranges, outstanding brightness, and enhanced sensitivities. However, no attention has been paid to the assessment of the actual reliability of the measurements provided by rare-earth-doped luminescent nanothermometers. In fact, it is assumed that they are ideal temperature sensors. Nevertheless, this is far from being true. In this work we demonstrate that the emission spectra of rare-earth-doped nanothermometers can be affected by numerous environmental and experimental factors. These include the numerical aperture of the optical elements used for their optical excitation and luminescence collection, the local concentration of nanothermometers, optical length variations, self-absorption of the luminescence by the nanothermometers themselves, and solvent optical absorption. This work concludes that rare-earth-doped luminescent nanothermometers are not as reliable as thought and, consequently, special care has to be taken when extracting temperature estimations from the variation of their emission spectra.
