A pronounced ultraviolet emission centered at 380 nm is attributed to Ag<sub>Zn</sub> acceptor-bound excitons. In addition to the near-band-edge emission, broad visible PL bands were detected, originating from radiative recombination through donor–acceptor pair transitions. The spectral distribution of the photoluminescence strongly depends on the excitation wavelength. As the excitation energy decreases, the intensity of the short-wavelength violet emission is suppressed, whereas the broad green/yellow/orange emission centered near 570 nm becomes increasingly dominant. This behavior is interpreted in terms of reabsorption of the higher-energy violet luminescence followed by energy transfer to defect-related recombination centers responsible for the broad visible PL band. A pronounced reduction in the overall photoluminescence intensity was observed for the sample containing the highest silver concentration. This reduction is attributed to a lower concentration of optically active Ag<sub>Zn</sub> centers caused by the formation of a secondary silver oxide phase, which decreases the amount of substitutionally incorporated silver in the ZnO lattice.

Existing synchronous transport technologies provide deterministic operation but offer limited architectural flexibility and limited extensibility for future services. This paper presents a deterministic ultra-low-latency streaming transport architecture for professional optical audio networks implemented over an 8G Fibre Channel physical layer. The proposed system employs a fixed Streaming Transport Frame synchronized to the audio sampling period together with a Streaming Forwarding Pipeline implementing cut-through forwarding without packet buffering, dynamic routing, or queue management. The transport architecture supports 768 channels of 32-bit PCM audio sampled at 192 kHz while maintaining a deterministic forwarding latency of approximately 115–185 ns per transport node. Audio transport, synchronization, management information, and auxiliary communication are integrated within a single Deterministic Timing Domain through fixed-position Audio Slots, configurable Hybrid Slots, and dedicated Service Tunnels. Analytical latency modeling demonstrates that forwarding latency depends exclusively on the depth of the deterministic hardware pipeline and is independent of both frame length and transported channel count. The overall network latency is dominated by light propagation in the optical fiber, a solid-state dielectric medium with highly stable refractive properties, which guarantees deterministic timing across the network. The proposed architecture establishes a scalable foundation for next-generation deterministic professional audio transport while preserving identical forwarding principles for future higher-speed physical-layer implementations.</p>","PeriodicalId":731,"journal":{"name":"Physics of the Solid State","volume":"68 11","pages":"990 - 1002"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149023089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
