Femtosecond multi-beam interference lithography based on dynamic wavefront engineering.

A method for precise multi-spot parallel ultrafast laser material structuring is presented based on multi-beam interference generated by dynamic spatial phase engineering. A Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) and digitally programming of phase masks are used to accomplish the function of a multi-facet pyramid lens, so that the laser beam can be spatially modulated to create beam multiplexing and desired two-dimensional (2D) multi-beam interference patterns. Various periodic microstructures on metallic alloy surfaces are fabricated with this technique.

Three-dimensional reconstruction of laser-imploded targets from simulated pinhole images.

This paper proposes an integral method to achieve a more accurate weighting matrix that makes very positive contributions to the image reconstruction in inertial confinement fusion research. Standard algebraic reconstruction techniques with a positivity constraint included are utilized. The final normalized mean-square error between the simulated and reconstructed projection images is 0.

[Research on the method of transient spectrum detection based on array CCD].

Based on the characteristic of high speed line scanning for CCD in transient spectrum detection, a method of transient spectrum detection with array CCD is presented. The high speed line scanning with array CCD was realized by changing the mode of charge transfer. In order to explore the feasibility of this method, a fast detection system of single point based on linear CCD was designed and fabricated.

[Real-time measurement of detonation transient temperature].

Based on the spectral characteristic of the detonation temperature, the present paper presents a measurement system of transient multi-wavelength pyrometry with the theory of multi-wavelength thermometry. The FPGA was applied as the hardware developing platform and the high-speed linear CCD was utilized. Each module was controlled by FPGA to achieve the process of real-time data acquisition, storage and transmission.

Prediction and validation of conservative microRNAs of Solanum tuberosum L.

Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is an important crop around the world, and accounts for a significant amount of the food consumed by humans. However, little information is available about potato miRNAs which play important regulatory roles in plant growth and development. In the present study, computational prediction of potential miRNAs from potato revealed 71 miRNAs belonging to 48 families.

The pH-dependence of photochemical intermediates of O and P in bacteriorhodopsin by continuous light.

The pH-dependence of the O and P intermediates in the photocycle of bacteriorhodopsin (bR) on the intensity and duration of the exciting flash was investigated for bR glycerol suspensions and bR gelatin films. Green and red laser flashes (532 and 670 nm) were utilized to generate a photoequilibrium state of bR and O at ambient temperature, and UV-vis spectroscopy was used to determine the photoconversion for the bR suspensions and films. The maximal concentration of the O intermediate was observed to be pH-dependent and the dependency was most pronounced at a slightly alkaline pH values.

[Study on the spectrum response characteristic based on the wide type bacteriorhodopsin film].

The photochromic retinal protein bacteriorhodopsin (BR) was found in the cell membrane of the Archaean Halobacterium salinarium. The excellent photochromic and photocycle properties of the BR provide the possibility of many applications in the filed of optical information processing. In this paper, the spectrum response characteristic of the wild type bacteriorhodopsin molecule film was studied by using pump-probe method.
