A novel near-infrared light responsive microcapsule system, gold nanorod-covered DOX-loaded hollow CaCO3 microcapsule (AuNR-HM-DOX) is developed for cancer therapy. The hollow CaCO3 microcapsules were prepared based on the self-assembly between chitosan and sodium alginate on CaCO3 particles via layer-by-layer technique, and then covered with gold nanorods to obtain the microcapsule system. Upon near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, microcapsule with gold nanorods can convert the absorbed NIR light into heat. Meanwhile, doxorubicin (DOX), a chemotherapy drug, is loaded into the microcapsule system via electrostatic adsorption for combined photothermal therapy and chemotherapy. Properties of AuNR-HM-DOX including grain diameter, optical spectra were characterized. Confocal fluorescence imaging was performed to observe the morphology of the capsules and existence of DOX in the core, confirming the successful loading of DOX. The release of DOX from the capsules under continuous NIR irradiation was investigated to evaluate the temperature responsiveness of AuNR-HM-DOX. Results indicate that AuNR-HM-DOX microcapsules possess uniform particle size and high light responsiveness. The combination of chemical and physical therapy of AuNR-HM-DOX features great potential as an adjuvant therapeutic alternative material for combined cancer therapy.

为了解决传统Mach-Zehnder结构电光调制器的直流偏置电路设计复杂、温度变化导致的直流漂移和非线性失真等问题,基于点匹配法、耦合模理论和电光调制理论,设计了一种零偏压屏蔽电极Y型耦合器高速电光调制器。给出了器件模型、电场分布及输出光功率随外加电压的变化关系。通过引入有效调制电压,导出了低频和高频两种电信号调制下,输出光功率随响应时间的新型关系式。得到了电信号3 dB调制带宽、插入损耗及串扰的表达式。在1550 nm中心波长下,对器件进行了参数优化和性能模拟。结果表明,优化后器件的电光作用区长度约为0
