Transmission resonance in a composite plasmonic structure
The design, fabrication, and optical properties of a composite plasmonic
structure, a two-dimentional array of split-ring resonators inserted into
periodic square holes of a metal film, have been reported. A new type of
transmission resonance, which makes a significant difference from the
conventional peaks, has been suggested both theoretically and experimentally.
To understand this effect, a mechanism of ring- resonance induced dipole
emission is proposed.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figure
Real-time Data Flow Control for CBM-TOF Super Module Quality Evaluation
Super module assembled with MRPC detectors is the component unit of TOF (Time
of Flight) system for the Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment. Quality
of super modules needs to be evaluated before it is applied in CBM-TOF. Time
signals exported from super module are digitalized at TDC (Time to Digital
Converter) station. Data rate is up to 6 Gbps at each TDC station, which brings
a tremendous pressure for data transmission in real time. In this paper, a
real-time data flow control method is designed. In this control method, data
flow is divided into 3 types: scientific data flow, status data flow and
control data flow. In scientific data flow, data of each TDC station is divided
into 4 sub-flows, and then is read out by a parallel and hierarchical network,
which consists of multiple readout mother boards and daughter boards groups. In
status data flow, status data is aggregated into a specific readout mother
board. Then it is uploaded to DAQ via readout daughter board. In control data
flow, control data is downloaded to all circuit modules in the opposite
direction of status data flow. Preliminary test result indicated data of STS
was correctly transmitted to DAQ with no error and three type data flows were
control orderly in real time. This data flow control method can meet the
quality evaluation requirement of supper module in CBM-TOF
