AI Article Synopsis

  • Frequency-modulation spectroscopy (FMS) is effective for code-division multiplexing and can enhance continuous-wave LIDAR using a specific CO absorption transition at 1.6 µm.
  • This method benefits from coherent detection and effectively reduces interference from broad absorption backgrounds.
  • Future applications could involve detecting multiple transitions simultaneously by using encoded frequency-modulated signals, allowing for improved target distance detection and analysis of absorption signals.

Article Abstract

Frequency-modulation spectroscopy (FMS) is generally suited to code-division multiplexing, and we demonstrate that capacity in a form of continuous-wave LIDAR, utilizing a sharp CO absorption transition at 1.6 µm in simple ranging setups. The approach retains the advantages of FMS, including coherent detection and good rejection of broad absorption backgrounds. Extensions of this multiplexed approach to the continuous, simultaneous detection of several transitions would come by transmitting an encoded combination of frequency-modulated carriers, each tuned to detect a unique absorption transition. Signal analysis at the receiver involves a simple process of de-multiplexing that, in a general application, reveals targets at various distances and the absorption-related FMS signals in between.

Local Khulays clay was modified to prepare polystyrene clay nanocomposite (PCN) coatings on carbon steel. The PCN coatings were added to microcapsules (MCs) loaded with the corrosion inhibitor PCN(MC). The microcapsules were prepared by the encapsulation of rare-earth metal Ce ions and isobutyl silanol into polystyrene via the double emulsion solvent evaporation (DESE) technique.

A standard measuring gas cell used in absorption spectrometers is a cylinder enclosed by two transparent windows. The Fabry-Perot effects caused by multiple reflections of terahertz waves between these windows produce significant variations in the transmitted radiation intensity. Therefore, the Fabry-Perot effects should be taken into account to correctly measure absorption spectra in Bouguer law-based absorption spectroscopy.

Given that the hydration water of polymer matrices may differ from that of outermost polymer surfaces, processes at biomaterial-biofluid interfaces and role of hydration water therein cannot be adequately examined using most conventional characterization methods. To bridge this gap, a gold substrate was herein modified with linear and cyclic poly(2-methoxyethyl acrylate) to prepare -PMEA and -PMEA surfaces, respectively, as models for the outermost surfaces of blood-contacting medical devices. Both surfaces suppressed the adhesion of human platelets but differed in the adhesion behaviors of normal and tumor cells despite having the same areal density of fixed-end units.

Graphene plasmons exhibit significant potential across diverse fields, including optoelectronics, metamaterials, and biosensing. However, the exposure of all surface atoms in graphene makes it susceptible to surrounding interference, including losses stemming from charged impurity scattering, the dielectric environment, and the substrate roughness. Thus, designing a dielectric environment with a long lifetime and tunability is essential.
