- The High Energy cosmic-Radiation Detection (HERD) facility is one of several space astronomy payloads onboard China's Space Station, which is planned for operation starting around 2025 for about 10 years. The main scientific objectives of HERD are searching for signals of dark matter annihilation products, precise cosmic electron (plus positron) spectrum and anisotropy measurements up to 10 TeV, precise cosmic ray spectrum and composition measurements up to the knee energy, and high energy gamma-ray monitoring and survey. HERD is composed of a 3-D cubic calorimeter (CALO) surrounded by microstrip silicon trackers (STKs) from five sides except the bottom. CALO is made of about 7,500 cubes of LYSO crystals, corresponding to about 55 radiation lengths and 3 nuclear interaction lengths, respectively. The top STK microstrips of six X-Y layers are sandwiched with tungsten converters to make precise directional measurements of incoming electrons and gamma-rays. In the baseline design, each of the four side STKs is made of only three layers microstrips. All STKs will also be used for measuring the charge and incoming directions of cosmic rays, as well as identifying back scattered tracks. With this design, HERD can achieve the following performance: energy resolution of 1% for electrons and gamma-rays beyond 100 GeV and 20% for protons from 100 GeV to 1 PeV; electron/proton separation power better than 10-5; effective geometrical factors of >3 m2sr for electron and diffuse gamma-rays, >2 m2sr for cosmic ray nuclei. R&D is under way for reading out the LYSO signals with optical fiber coupled to image intensified IsCMOS and CALO prototype of 250 LYSO crystals.

- The High Energy cosmic-Radiation Detection (HERD) facility is one of several space astronomy payloads of the cosmic lighthouse program onboard China's Space Station, which is planned for operation starting around 2020 for about 10 years. The main scientific objectives of HERD are indirect dark matter search, precise cosmic ray spectrum and composition measurements up to the knee energy, and high energy gamma-ray monitoring and survey. HERD is composed of a 3-D cubic calorimeter (CALO) surrounded by microstrip silicon trackers (STKs) from five sides except the bottom. CALO is made of about 104 cubes of LYSO crystals, corresponding to about 55 radiation lengths and 3 nuclear interaction lengths, respectively. The top STK microstrips of seven X-Y layers are sandwiched with tungsten converters to make precise directional measurements of incoming electrons and gamma-rays. In the baseline design, each of the four side SKTs is made of only three layers microstrips. All STKs will also be used for measuring the charge and incoming directions of cosmic rays, as well as identifying back scattered tracks. With this design, HERD can achieve the following performance: energy resolution of 1% for electrons and gamma-rays beyond 100 GeV, 20% for protons from 100 GeV to 1 PeV; electron/proton separation power better than 10-5; effective geometrical factors of >3 m2sr for electron and diffuse gamma-rays, >2 m2sr for cosmic ray nuclei. R and D is under way for reading out the LYSO signals with optical fiber coupled to image intensified CCD and the prototype of one layer of CALO.

Concentric silicon micro-ring resonators with enhanced transmission notch depth
- 2008

Ingår i: Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering. - : SPIE.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this work, we have analyzed, fabricated and demonstrated concentric micro-ring resonators in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structure for enhanced transmission notches. The operation principles of the concentric ring resonators are studied by time-domain coupled-mode theory. Directional coupling between concentric rings offers another freedom in designing deep notch optical filters and ultra-sensitive biosensors. The finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) simulations have shown the improvement of the notch depth, evenly distributed mode field and the effect of the resonance shift. The device is demonstrated in silicon-on-insulator structure. Transmission notch depth improvement of ~ 15dB is demonstrated for the 21-20.02-μm-radius double-ring structure comparing with the single 21-μm-radius ring.

Monolithic Fabrication of On-Paper Self-Charging Power Systems Through Direct Ink Writing

- The rapid development of emerging electronics requires power sources with the advantages of lightweight, high efficiency, and portability. Considering the use of critical raw materials (such as Li, Co, etc.) and the increasing global concern of battery waste, self-charging power systems (SCPSs) integrating energy harvesting, power management, and energy storage devices have been envisioned as promising solutions to replace traditional batteries to avoid the use of toxic materials and the need of frequent recharging/replacement. Up to date, the reported SCPSs still hold the problem of large form factor, unscalable fabrication, noble materials, and material complexity. In our work, a highly stable and eco-friendly organic conductive ink based on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) has been developed for monolithic fabrication on-paper SCPSs almost fully through a simple direct ink writing (DIW) process. The ink possesses multiple functions and enables to directly print almost all the key components in the SCPSs, including electrodes for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs, mechanical energy harvesters), electrodes for micro-supercapacitors (MSCs, energy storage devices), and interconnects, on the same paper substrate in a monolithic manner without the need for “post-integration”. The monolithic printing process exhibits excellent upscaling capability for manufacturing. In particular, the direct patterning merit of the DIW process offers great flexibility in optimizing the system performance through adjusting the cell number, electrode dimension, and thickness of the MSC arrays. By adjusting the cell numbers, the MSC arrays attain high-rate capability up to 50 V/s to match the pulsing electricity produced from the TENGs. For small-size printed SCPSs (~ 2 cm × 3 cm ×1 mm), after continuous press and release of the TENGs for ~79000 cycles, the 3-cell series-connected MSC array can be charged to 1.6 V while 6-cell array to 3.0 V. For a larger-size printed SCPS with 30 MSC cells (~ 7.5 cm × 5 cm ×0.5 mm), after charging through pressing/releasing for 10 min (nearly 1200 cycles), it can light up a LED (~ 4 W) for 5 s. The demo of successfully powering an LED device exhibited its great potential for powering various electronics. The monolithically fabricated on-paper SCPSs have great potential to serve as lightweight, thin, sustainable, eco-friendly, and low-cost power supplies for emerging electronics.
