  • Patent number: 12222628
    Abstract: A nonlinear optical device includes two coupling systems. A coupling coefficient between the two coupling systems is regulated and controlled. During operation, the pump light input from a straight waveguide is coupled into the second coupling system through the first coupling system and obtains great resonance enhancement in the second coupling system, so it is ensured that the second coupling system is in a high energy state. For signal light input from the same end of the straight waveguide, the signal light enters a resonator of the second coupling system through the coupling between the first and second coupling systems. A nonlinear effect of the system mainly occurs in the resonator of the second coupling system because in the resonator of the second coupling system, the pump light is in a great resonance enhancement. The entire resonator is in a high energy state.

  • Patent number: 12221356
    Abstract: Provided is a method for preparing copper azide and cuprous azide encapsulated by conductive metal-organic framework. The method uses a conductive copper-containing metal-organic framework material as a precursor, and completes the azidation of the precursor by means of a liquid-solid electrochemical azidation reaction. Copper azide and cuprous azide nanocrystals are highly uniformly embedded within a conductive framework, which may effectively avoid the agglomeration of copper azide and cuprous azide, and reduce static charge generated by friction, displacement, and the like. Meanwhile, the conductive framework may promote the effective transfer of charge, avoid the accumulation of static charge, and improve the electrostatic safety.

  • Patent number: 12216026
    Abstract: Techniques for measuring vacuum pressure using a memristor element are described. A vacuum sensor can include a memristor element having a semiconductor substrate, a memristive material layer, and a conductive electrode. The off-state resistance of the memristor element can be sensitive to changes in ambient pressure at the element. The off-state resistance of the memristor element may also exhibit a well-defined increase at pressures below a threshold pressure. Measurement of the off-state resistance may be obtained with low power consumption and without changing the resistance or switching the state of the memristor element. The measurements may be used to both determine a leak rate of the ambient pressure within the volume of interest and determine if the sensor is exposed to vacuum pressure below the threshold pressure.
