The optimized structure has a high selective emissivity characteristic in the 1-2.4 μm waveband. The averaged emissivity can reach more than 79.6%, which is about 60% higher than that of the unstructured emitter; at the same time, the band emissivity gradually decreases after the wavelength of 2.4 μm, achieving a selective emission control. Using the laser direct writing technology, dry metal etching, and other micro-fabrication techniques, the thermal emitter is fabricated with the feature sizes as follows: the hole diameter, the array period, and the hole depth are 1 μm, 1.4 μm, and 3.4 μm, respectively; the area with microhole structures is 12×12 mm. The experimental measurement suggests that the averaged emissivity arrives at 70.07%.

The successful detection of Cr(VI) was achieved through the signal-weakening photoelectrochemical responses, as evidenced by the decrease in the photocathode signal with increasing Cr(VI) concentration. This can be attributed to the steric hindrance effect caused by the in-situ formation of Cr(OH)3 precipitates.

Aiming at the problems such as low contrast, color distortion and lack of detail information in areas with high haze concentration in images acquired by image acquisition equipment in hazy days, this paper proposes a dehazing algorithm based on exposure image fusion based on multi-logarithmic transform, which improves image quality while effectively dehazing images and avoids the edge effect in the sky part of images after dehazing. Firstly, the original hazy image was transformed by logarithmic multiple times to produce multiple images with different exposure to be fused. Then, all the input images with logarithmic transformation and weight graphs were fused by multi-scale pyramid fusion method to obtain the dehazing image. In order to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm in this paper, the results of the proposed algorithm and six mainstream image dehazing algorithms are compared in two aspects: subjective evaluation and objective evaluation. Experimental results show that the image processed by the proposed algorithm presents better visual effects than that processed by other algorithms. The proposed algorithm can effectively improve image contrast, improve image distortion, improve the visibility of detail information in areas with high hazy concentration, and the scenery color is natural. Good results are obtained under two objective evaluation indexes of image quality, namely peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity, which further proves that the algorithm proposed in this paper has good dehazing performance, can effectively improve the image visibility, and has a good overall color preservation degree of the image.","PeriodicalId":184319,"journal":{"name":"Optical Frontiers","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115567529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, the burr-like CuO nanostructures are modified on the entire surfaces of the ordered Si nanowires (SiNWs) by using a combination of magnetron sputtering and hydrothermal growth. The optimized CuO@SiNWs heterojunction with a core-shell structure enables enzyme-free PEC detection of H2O2, achieving a sensitivity of 227.76 μAmM-1cm-2 in the concentration range of 0–588 mM and a detection limit of 7.14 μM (Signal/Noise=3). The excellent sensing performance of the CuO@SiNWs is attributed to the large specific surface area provided by SiNWs and the CuO possess desired H2O2-catalytic activity while providing a great number of active sites. In addition, the CuO@SiNWs demonstrates satisfactory optical absorption. This work demonstrates that enzyme-free and highly sensitive H2O2 detection can be achieved by hybrid nanostructure, providing an alternative route to H2O2 sensing.","PeriodicalId":184319,"journal":{"name":"Optical Frontiers","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126733241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Effective THz modulators are highly desired to realize those functionalities. Wherein, as a kind of artificial composite material, THz metamaterials can achieve extraordinary responses to the electromagnetic wave through the geometric structure design. Nevertheless, normal metamaterials have no tunability once they have been designed and fabricated. To overcome this issue, active medias have been explored to enable the expected modulation of metamaterials under the external stimuli. Among them, phase transition materials are often used in dynamically tunable THz devices due to their intriguing properties. Particularly, vanadium dioxide (VO2) has attracted attention owing to the reversible physical properties and can exhibit insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) behavior at near room temperature. Here, we explore the strength of the resonance response and the change of spectral lineshape caused by the size variation in the metamaterial unit cell. On this basis, adding VO2 thin film can realize broadband modulation during the IMT process. Furthermore, by incorporating the VO2 patches in the gold microstructure can further achieve the dual modulation of amplitude and frequency simultaneously. The design of VO2 hybrid metamaterial can break the single function limitation of traditional metamaterial modulators, reduce material loss, and open up a new path for the development of multifunctional THz modulators.","PeriodicalId":184319,"journal":{"name":"Optical Frontiers","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121073946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
