Laser-Induced Optoacoustic Spectroscopy Studies of Inorganic Functionalized Metallic Nanorods
摘要: Plasmonic nanoparticles can be used in photothermal therapy thanks to their ability to generate local heat. The light-to-heat conversion efficiency is crucial for therapeutic and diagnostic applications. The photothermal properties of gold nanorods functionalized with silica layers of controllable thickness were characterized using both theoretical and experimental approaches. The time-resolved laser-induced optoacoustic spectroscopy (LIOAS) was used to determine the amount of absorbed energy changed promptly into heat. The heat generation efficiencies were simulated by the means of finite integration technique. The obtained parameters were correlated with silica thickness. Experimental results are consistent with theoretical predictions, thus LIOAS is a unique reliable method for studying photothermal effect in gold nanoparticles.

摘要: Powering cellular base stations with renewable energy are one of the long-term strategies for achieving green networks and reducing their operational costs. As an energy provider, the power grid is evolving into a smarter one, which allows more energy-ef?cient cellular networks and enables cooperation and interaction with the smart grid. On one hand, cellular networks can use harvested renewable energy and on-site energy storage to reduce their energy costs. On the other hand, the price of electricity depends on the energy load, which will eventually contribute to decreasing the peak consumption and global energy cost. In this paper, we propose new integration architecture for renewable energy-powered cellular networks and the smart grid. The proposed architecture is designed based on the classi?cation and the analysis of the existing proposals and the requirements of the smart grid, renewable energy systems, and cellular networks.

A Case Study Comparison Between Photovoltaic And Fossil Generation Based On Direct Current Hybrid Microgrids To Power A Service Building
摘要: The objective of this paper is to make a minutely comparison between 3 different DC microgrids by addressing their most outstanding advantages and disadvantages not only in technical terms, but also regarding other performance related aspects, such as a) measurement of the quality of the electrical supply of the facilities, b) reliability, and c) economic and environmental impact. Results show that in the best case, for all the microgrids, the accuracy of the measurements is around 99.45 %, with a weighted average of voltage applied to the load of 24.54 V. The building studied was reimagined into an autonomous and self-sustaining installation by using renewable electric power in direct current with a power distribution on 24 V. Additionally, the systems developed show a potential of greenhouse gas recovery close to 35.05 tCO2 per year, with a return of investment of 7 years for the renewable-based microgrid and 3 years return for the traditional microgrid. The novelty of this paper relies on the performance comparison of 3 different types of direct current microgrids, one grid-powered (A) based on traditional fuel generation, and two off-grid (B & C) based on photovoltaic energy generation, when feeding a building of considerable size and low operational flexibility.

Laser crystallized low-loss polycrystalline silicon waveguides
摘要: We report the fabrication of low-loss, low temperature deposited polysilicon waveguides via laser crystallization. The process involves pre-patterning amorphous silicon ?lms to con?ne the thermal energy during the crystallization phase, which helps to control the grain growth and reduce the heat transfer to the surrounding media, making it compatible with CMOS integration. Micro-Raman spectroscopy, Secco etching and X-ray di?raction measurements reveal the high crystalline quality of the processed waveguides with the formation of millimeter long crystal grains. Optical losses as low as 5.3 dB/cm have been measured, indicating their suitability for the development of high-density integrated circuits.

Design Concepts for the Integration of Electronic Components into Metal Laser-based Powder Bed Fusion Parts
摘要: Additive manufacturing (AM) stands out from other manufacturing processes because it enables covering the functionality of an assembly by one single component only. In order to further increase the functional density in AM parts, it is of interest to integrate sensors in metal components during the Laser-based Powder Bed Fusion manufacturing process. This paper presents design concepts that facilitate an automated integration process of electronic components by using specific and individual criteria. In consideration of an automated embedding process, a standardized solid is outlined to unify different sensor types in a design space.

Semitransparent Energya??Storing Functional Photovoltaics Monolithically Integrated with Electrochromic Supercapacitors
摘要: Energy-storing functional photovoltaics, which can simultaneously harvest and store solar energy, are proposed as promising next-generation multifunction energy systems. For the extension of conventional organic photovoltaics (OPVs), electrochromic supercapacitors (ECSs) are monolithically integrated with semitransparent (ST) quaternary blend-based OPVs (ST Q-OPVs) to achieve compact, energy-efficient storage with great aesthetic appeal. In particular, ST Q-OPVs with low-power-consumption ECSs allow full operation, even under low-intensity irradiance, including artificial indoor light circumstances, and thereby exhibit potential for all-day operating energy suppliers. The prepared ST energy-storing functional photovoltaics also serve as a backup power source for external electronic equipment (e.g., light-emitting diodes, and sensor nodes for Internet of Things) by consuming charged power. In addition to features that include unrestricted operation under any circumstances, color tunability, feasibility of designs with various shapes, rapid charging/discharging, and real-time indication of stored energy levels, ST energy-storing functional photovoltaics could potentially be applied in electronic devices such as advanced smart windows or portable smart electronics.

High-Power, Narrow-Linewidth, Miniaturized Silicon Photonic Tunable Laser with Accurate Frequency Control
摘要: We have demonstrated a hybrid-integrated silicon photonic (SiPh) tunable laser in a miniaturized package, suitable for coherent modules in small form factors such as OSFP and QSFP-DD. Through the integration of an in-house-designed high-power semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), the developed SiPh laser has achieved a record-high output power of 21.5 dBm across the C-band. Also, this laser exhibits narrow linewidths down to 60 kHz, SMSR larger than 50 dB, low relative intensity noise below -150 dB/Hz, and a broad tuning range of 65 nm. These performance parameters are preferable for 400 Gb/s and beyond coherent communications using advanced high-order modulation formats. Moreover, an on-chip integrated sensor technology was developed for accurate laser frequency control. We have achieved 1 GHz frequency stability of SiPh laser against SOA current changes or package temperature variations between 10 oC and 80 oC. We further show the feasibility of this developed SiPh laser for 64 Gbaud, 16/64 QAM coherent transmission by integrating with an in-house InP-PLC hybrid coherent optical subassembly (COSA).

A Novel Convolutional Neural Network-Based Approach for Fault Classification in Photovoltaic Arrays
摘要: The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the effective deployment of a robotic assessment tool for the evaluation of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) patients in a busy, resource-constrained, urban emergency department (ED). Methods: Functional integration of new robotic technology for research in the ED presented several obstacles that required a multidisciplinary approach, including participation from electrical and computer engineers, emergency medicine clinicians, and clinical operations staff of the hospital. Our team addressed many challenges in deployment of this advanced technology including: 1) adapting the investigational device for the unique clinical environment; 2) acquisition and maintenance of appropriate testing space for point-of-care assessment; and 3) dedicated technical support and upkeep of the device. Upon successful placement of the robotic device in the ED, the clinical study required screening of all patients presenting to the ED with complaints of head injury. Eligible patients were enrolled and tested using a robot-assisted test battery. Three weeks after the injury, patients were contacted to complete follow-up assessments. Results: Adapting the existing technology to meet anticipated physical constraints of the ED was performed by engineering a mobile platform. Due to the large footprint of the device, it was frequently moved before ultimately being fully integrated into the ED. Over 14 months, 1423 patients were screened. Twenty-eight patients could not be enrolled because the device was unavailable due to operations limitations. Technical problems with the device resulted in failure to include 20 patients. A total of 66 mTBI patients were enrolled and 42 of them completed both robot-assisted testing and follow-up assessment. Successful completion of screening and enrollment demonstrated that the challenges associated with integration of investigational devices into the ED can be effectively addressed through a collaborative patient-oriented research model. Conclusion: Effective deployment and use of new robotic technology for research in an urban academic ED required significant planning, coordination, and collaboration with key personnel from multiple disciplines. Clinical Impact: A pilot clinical study on mTBI patients using the robotic device provided useful data without disrupting the ED workflow. Integration of this technology into the ED serves as an important step toward pursing active clinical research in an acute care setting.

Evaluation for multiple processing parameters in selective laser melting based on an integration of mesoscale simulation and experiment method
摘要: Selection reasonable processing parameters for the metallic product by selective laser melting (SLM) is a significant issue to improve the performance of the final product. The optimization for the performance of the product is caused by the comprehensive effect of multiple processing parameters instead of a single parameter. It is urgent to propose a method for evaluating this comprehensive effect, furthermore, providing reasonable processing parameters. In this study, the mesoscopic features (molten pool morphology, free surface, porosity distribution, etc.) under different processing parameters are analyzed. Meanwhile, a powder scale thermal-fluid coupled model is established considering the randomly distributed powder bed and the complex physical phenomena within the molten pool. The simulation results are compared with the results characterized by multiple experimental methods. The integration of simulation and experiment results show that a fast scanning velocity or a large hatch spacing would decline the quality of the final product. A high energy density could decrease the roughness of the free surface but increase the porosity. Selecting a moderate energy density through a comprehensive comparison of multiple indicators is critical to evaluate the quality of metallic products by SLM.
