摘要: The reduction stripping behavior of Pu(IV) from 30%TBP/OK with hydroxysemicarbazide (HSC) was investigated, and the separation efficiency of HSC and DMHAN-MMH for U/Pu partitioning in Purex process was compared. The results show that HSC can effectively realize the separation of Pu from U; using mixer-settlers to simulate U/Pu separation in 1B bank of PUREX, from 16-stage counter current extraction experiment (in which 6 stages for supplemental extraction, 10 stages for stripping) with flow rate ratio (1BF:1BX:1BS) =4:1:1 in 1B contactor, good result was achieved that the yields are both more than 99.99% for uranium and Pu, the separation factor of plutonium from uranium (SFPu/U) is 2.8�104, and separation factor of uranium from plutonium (SFU/Pu) is 5.9�104. As a stripping reductant, HSC can effectively achieve the separation of Pu from U and the separation effect is nearly the same with DMHAN-MMH, which contributed to replace enough the latter with HSC in the U/Pu separation in Advanced Purex Process Based on Organic Reagent (APOR) process.

摘要: High coherence visible and near-visible laser sources are centrally important to the operation of advanced position/navigation/timing systems as well as classical/quantum sensing systems. However, the complexity and size of these bench-top lasers is an impediment to their transitioning beyond the laboratory. Here, a system-on-a-chip that emits high-coherence visible and near-visible lightwaves is demonstrated. The devices rely upon a new approach wherein wavelength conversion and coherence increase by self-injection-locking are combined within in a single nonlinear resonator. This simplified approach is demonstrated in a hybridly-integrated device and provides a short-term linewidth around 10-30 kHz. On-chip, converted optical power over 2 mW is also obtained. Moreover, measurements show that heterogeneous integration can result in conversion efficiency higher than 25% with output power over 11 mW. Because the approach uses mature III-V pump lasers in combination with thin-film lithium niobate, it can be scaled for low-cost manufacturing of high-coherence visible emitters. Also, the coherence generation process can be transferred to other frequency conversion processes including optical parametric oscillation, sum/difference frequency generation, and third-harmonic generation.
