  • Patent number: 12355074
    Abstract: This invention relates to materials for the negative electrode in non-aqueous rechargeable alkali-ion batteries in free-standing form. In particular, this invention relates to the use of metal ribbon that is produced by melt spinning directly as a battery electrode. The invention also relates to a method producing a highly dispersed, multiphase composite material in a single step, as well as a way to generate porosity while maintaining the ‘binder-free’ and ‘additive-free’ characterization of the electrode.

  • Patent number: 12155175
    Abstract: A laser with a hexagonal semiconductor microdisk to solve the problems of a low quality factor of a hexagonal whispering-gallery mode and light exiting difficulty of a triangular whispering-gallery mode is disclosed. Based on physical characteristics of stimulated radiation of gain materials with a high refractive index, the apparatus uses a distributed Bragg reflection layer to reduce an optical loss of a microcavity laser, and uses a hexagonal semiconductor microdisk as an optical resonator and laser gain material. As an optical pump source, the laser provides an optical gain, and when the gain exceeds a microcavity laser threshold, generates laser light for exiting. By controlling a laser spot of the pump source to be located at a corner of the hexagonal microdisk, the laser light in a double-triangular whispering-gallery optical resonance mode is generated after stimulated radiation for exiting.

  • Patent number: 11480450
    Abstract: An EHz ultrafast modulated pulse scanning laser and a distributed fiber sensing system. A plurality of phase-shift gratings are engraved on a doped fiber, the phase-shift gratings having different central window wavelengths and a wavelength interval between the adjacent central window wavelengths being a preset fixed value. When a pump light emitted by a pump laser source is coupled by a wavelength division multiplexer and enters the doped fiber, a single-mode narrow-linewidth laser light having multiple wavelengths with a wavelength interval being a preset fixed value can be generated, by using the phase-shift gratings graved on the doped fiber. The ultrafast modulation is completed by using a time-domain control method based on an EOM. An internally frequency converted pulse light formed by splicing pulse lights whose frequencies linearly increase is obtained, thus forming the EHz ultrafast modulation of a distributed feedback fiber laser.

  • Patent number: 11231299
    Abstract: A high-performance distributed fiber sensing system based on EHz ultrafast pulse scanning. During testing of a disturbance signal, an internally frequency converted pulse light emitted by an EHz ultrafast pulse scanning laser enters a sensing fiber after passing through a circulator, and a backward Rayleigh scattering signal transmitted by the sensing fiber enters an unbalanced Michelson interferometer after passing through a coupler. By designing an arm length difference between two interference arms, interferences sequentially occur for the backward Rayleigh scattering light at a position where lengths of two adjacent arms differ. A signal received after passing through the unbalanced Michelson interferometer includes a phase difference signal caused by an external disturbance signal in the sensing fiber.

  • Patent number: 11054302
    Abstract: The present invention provides an event positioning method, device and application in a distributed fiber vibration monitoring system. When a location at which an event occurs in a sensing fiber is to be positioned, an interference field signal having a maximum optical power is obtained by comparing optical powers of respective interference field signals corresponding to backward Rayleigh scattering lights that are generated when a pulse light is transmitted in the sensing fiber. Subsequently, a sensing location of the interference field signal having the maximum optical power is calculated. Finally, the location at which the event occurs in the sensing fiber is determined, according to the sensing location and a location distribution pattern of the event. According to the positioning method provided in the present invention, by screening the interference field signals and then calculating the event location, the spatial resolution is not determined merely by the pulse width of the optical signal.
