Low-dimensional nanomaterials, owing to their unique and versatile properties, are very attractive for enormous electronic and optoelectronic applications. PbS quantum dots (QDs), characterized by a large Bohr radius and size-tunable bandgap, are especially interesting for photonic applications in the near-infrared region. Here, oleic acid capped colloidal PbS QDs as a saturable absorber are investigated for ultrashort-pulse generation. The PbS QDs exhibit outstanding nonlinear saturable absorption properties at 1550 nm: a modulation depth up to 44.5% and a thermal damage threshold larger than 30 mJ/cm2. By incorporating PbS QDs into a fiber laser, a transform-limited soliton pulse as short as 559 fs with a bandwidth of 4.78 nm is realized at 1563 nm. Numerous applications may benefit from the nonlinear saturable absorption properties of PbS QDs, such as near-infrared pulsed lasers and modulators.

在宽动态范围辐射测温系统中,不同温度的辐射源采用透过率不同的中性密度衰减片以及不同的积分时间,往往需要重新定标,且重新定标过程繁琐,降低了系统的效率。在分析定标理论的基础上,建立了考虑积分时间和中性密度衰减片透过率的宽动态范围辐射定标模型,提出了一种简化的定标方法,经过两次不同积分时间的定标,可以推导出前置不同透过率衰减片、不同积分时间的定标模型;通过对前置透过率为0.0278%的衰减片在0.8 ms及1 ms积分时间下的定标分析,计算出系统由内部暗电流及杂散辐射引起的灰度响应,从而分别推导出前置透过率为
