  • Publication number: 20250216255
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for spectrum detection by defect scattering calculation and reconstruction. The apparatus includes a photodetector, a light input system, a multi-mode waveguide, a random defect scattering structure and a substrate. The defect scattering structure is a recess with random quantities of size and position on the surface of the optical waveguide. The technical solution reconstructs a target spectrum by introducing random defects onto the surface of the optical waveguide to obtain scattered light, has the advantages of fewer devices, compact spatial optical path and small size compared with the traditional commercial spectrometer, effectively reduces the system complexity and cost of the spectrometer, and improves the portability of the spectrometer. This structure can reproduce an incidence spectrum well when using the calculation and reconstruction method to reconstruct the spectrum, and has a large bandwidth and high spectral resolution.

    Abstract: A preparation method of a silicon-based molecular beam heteroepitaxy material, a memristor, and use thereof are provided. A structure of the heteroepitaxy material is obtained by allowing a SrTiO3 layer, a La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 layer, and a (BaTiO3)0.5—(CeO2)0.5 layer to successively grow on a P-type Si substrate. The silicon-based epitaxy structure is obtained by allowing a first layer of SrTiO3, a second layer of La0.67Sr0.33MnO3, and a third layer of (BaTiO3)0.5—(CeO2)0.5 (in which an atomic ratio of BaTiO3 to CeO2 is 0.5:0.5) to successively grow at a specific temperature and a specific oxygen pressure. The preparation method of a silicon-based molecular beam heteroepitaxy material adopts pulsed laser deposition (PLD), which is relatively simple and easy to control, and can achieve the memristor function and neuro-imitation characteristics. A thickness of the first buffer layer of SrTiO3 can reach 40 nm.
