In recent years, with the emergence and advancement of deep learning, learning representation-based methods have achieved remarkable success in the field of image defocus enhancement. In this paper, a rapid axial scanning system was proposed for efficient acquisition of defocused-enhancement datasets. A multi-focus image sequence with different focus depths of a same scene is captured, and it is utilized to generate a full-focus image (ground truth) through image fusion, to build a set of defocused enhancement datasets. Multiple defocused-enhancement datasets can be obtained based on this approach. Experimental results confirm the feasibility and effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":184319,"journal":{"name":"Optical Frontiers","volume":"3 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":"124211687","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}

Low-bandgap mixed tin-lead perovskite bottom subcell is a critical component in all perovskite TSCs, which are currently limited by the relatively low efficiency and poor stability of the bottom subcells. Here in this work, we use multifunctional taurine material to dope and modify the PEDOT:PSS hole transport layer (HTL) for better optical transmittance and charge transporting properties, enabling efficient low-bandgap PSCs with highly improved open circuit voltages and short circuit current densities. Taurine has a suitable refractive index to reduce light reflection loss when introduced at the interface of PEDOT:PSS/perovskite film. Moreover, taurine improves the energy level alignments and facilitates charge transfer dynamics in the low-bandgap PSCs when doped into the PEDOT:PSS HTL. Finally, the synergistic effects of the interface modification and bulk doping of PEDOT:PSS with taurine leads to significantly enhanced efficiencies of over 22% and 26% for low-bandgap PSCs and all-perovskite TSCs, respectively.","PeriodicalId":184319,"journal":{"name":"Optical Frontiers","volume":"57 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":"134302356","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}

Therefore, photoelectrochemical enzyme-free glucose sensors have attracted research interest in recent years. In this work, the TiO2/CuO heterojunction was constructed and photoelectrochemical enzyme-free glucose sensing was realized. The sensing sensitivity of the TiO2/CuO heterojunction photoelectrode prepared by magnetron sputtering and thermal annealing process was 864 μAμM-1 cm-2 in the range of 1–9 mM with a detection limit of 58.6 μM at 0.2 V, exhibiting satisfactory stability as well as interference resistance. This better sensing performance mainly comes from: 1) the absorption of photogenerated carriers generated from sunlight by TiO2 films, which participate in glucose redox; 2) the conversion of the metal valence state (Cu2+/Cu3+) of the P-type semiconductor CuO under alkaline conditions can promote glucose redox; 3) the heterojunction formed by CuO and TiO2 reducing the compounding of photogenerated carriers thus improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency. The heterojunction formed by CuO and TiO2 greatly facilitates the surface carrier transfer of glucose oxidation reaction. This work provides a new way for enzyme-free glucose sensing and promotes the development of glucose detection technology.","PeriodicalId":184319,"journal":{"name":"Optical Frontiers","volume":"35 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":"114476923","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}

The ion distribution and vacancy distribution of diamond thin films under proton irradiation were calculated and analyzed by calculation (Monte Carlo method). When the flow ratio of methane/hydrogen was 1%, by adjusting the height of the sample stage, diamond nanocrystalline films with different growth temperatures were prepared on the surface of fused silica. After proton irradiation, the transmittance curve of the film has a slight red shift, and the transmittance decreases significantly in the wavelength range of 500-900nm, and the maximum transmittance decreases by 5-7%. After proton irradiation, the peak intensities of the Raman spectra become weaker, and the peak intensities of both the diamond phase and the non-diamond phase are weakened. Under the irradiation of protons with energy of 50keV, the main action depth of the diamond film is in the range of 2-5 microns, and the effect on the surface and deeper regions is not obvious, but gaps and vacancies are generated at a depth of several micrometers.","PeriodicalId":184319,"journal":{"name":"Optical Frontiers","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131998670","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}

We use the IWO algorithm to optimize the ability of the particle swarm finding fitness, so as to avoid the particle swarm easily falling into local convergence during the working process. Secondly, in order to meet the requirements of the improved pure tracking model for continuous curvature, we add an easing curve to the traditional fishtail U-turn trajectory, and design a non-tangential round fishtail U-turn. Finally, we carry out a simulation test of the algorithm. The test results show that: using the IWO-PSO-PTM algorithm, when the vehicle speed is 0.75m/s for U-turn, the maximum lateral error is less than 0.42m, and the root mean square error is 0.18m. And when the straight line travel distance exceeds 4m after line change, the maximum lateral error is less than 0.02m.
