Subwavelength-diameter silica wires for low-loss optical wave guiding

Silica waveguides with diameters larger than the wavelength of transmitted light are widely used in optical communications, sensors and other applications. Minimizing the width of the waveguides is desirable for photonic device applications, but the fabrication of low-loss optical waveguides with subwavelength diameters remains challenging because of strict requirements on surface roughness and diameter uniformity. Here we report the fabrication of subwavelength-diameter silica 'wires' for use as low-loss optical waveguides within the visible to near-infrared spectral range. We use a two-step drawing process to fabricate long free-standing silica wires with diameters down to 50 nm that show surface smoothness at the atomic level together with uniformity of diameter. Light can be launched into these wires by optical evanescent coupling. The wires allow single-mode operation, and have an optical loss of less than 0.1 dB mm(-1). We believe that these wires provide promising building blocks for future microphotonic devices with subwavelength-width structures.     

Involvement of Ca<Superscript>2+</Superscript>/CaM in the signal transduction of acetylcholine regulating stomatal movement

It has been known that the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) also exists in plants and is able to regulate the movement of stomata.In another aspect,Ca^2 /CaM as the second messengers have a critical role of signal transduction in stomatal guard-cell,Here we showed that Ca^2 /CaM were also involved in the ACh regulated stomatal movement,In the medium containing Ca^2 ,the Ca^2 channel blockers (NIF and Ver)and CaM inhibitors (TFP and W7 ) could neutralize the ACh induced stomatal opening,however,they are ineffective in the medium containing K^ ,Those results indicated that Ca^2 /CaM were involved in the signal transduction pathway of ACh regulating stomatal movement.     

The effects of microfilament and microtubule inhibitors and periodic electrical impulses on phloem transport in pea seedling

In phloem transport, whether protoplasmic activity participates in assisting sap flow in sieve element-companion cell complcx hils long been in debate. The prcsent investigation assumcd microfilament (MF) and microtubule (MT), the two constituents of the protoplasmic cytoskeleton, as motive force, and employed germinating pea seedling suspended in moist chamber as experinental material: thc seed being the source; the elongating root, the sink.¹⁴C-labeled sucrose was added to the seed as indicator. The amount of sap transported from source to sink was measured by the increase in root elongation. The transport phloem was within the cylinder of the peclcd root in thc middle. The exposed cylinder was treated with MF inhibitor (cytochalasin B), or microtubule inhibitor (amiphosmethyl). Results showed that the sap influx into the elongating root. and the¹⁴C activity as well, was reduced by abut one half in treatrrrent with cytochaliisin B, and much less by amiphos-methyl treatment. Similar effect was shown in clcctrical impulse Ireatnimt, which scems to disrupt the MF and MT configuration.     

Point defects in active layers of TFEL devices based on ZnS

Point defects in the active layer of a layered optimization thin film electroluminescent device of ZnS; Er³⁺ were studied. The results indicate that besides Er³⁺ substituting for Zn²⁺ as luminescent centers, the dominant point defects are sulfur vacancies, zinc vacancies, shallow donors and deep acceptors. Their influence on electroluminescence is discussed.
