摘要: The Solar Upper Transition Region Imager (SUTRI) onboard the Space Advanced Technology demonstration satellite (SATech-01), which was launched to a sun-synchronous orbit at a height of 500 km in July 2022, aims to test the on-orbit performance of our newly developed Sc-Si multi-layer reflecting mirror and the 2kx2k EUV CMOS imaging camera and to take full-disk solar images at the Ne VII 46.5 nm spectral line with a filter width of 3 nm. SUTRI employs a Ritchey-Chretien optical system with an aperture of 18 cm. The on-orbit observations show that SUTRI images have a field of view of 41.6'x41.6' and a moderate spatial resolution of 8" without an image stabilization system. The normal cadence of SUTRI images is 30 s and the solar observation time is about 16 hours each day because the earth eclipse time accounts for about 1/3 of SATech-01's orbit period. Approximately 15 GB data is acquired each day and made available online after processing. SUTRI images are valuable as the Ne VII 46.5 nm line is formed at a temperature regime of 0.5 MK in the solar atmosphere, which has rarely been sampled by existing solar imagers. SUTRI observations will establish connections between structures in the lower solar atmosphere and corona, and advance our understanding of various types of solar activity such as flares, filament eruptions, coronal jets and coronal mass ejections.

摘要: Thin-film lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) is a promising platform for optical communications, microwave photonics, and quantum technologies. While many high-performance devices like electro-optic modulators and frequency comb sources have been achieved on LNOI platform, it remains challenging to realize photodetectors (PDs) on LNOI platform using simple and low-cost fabrication techniques. Two-dimensional (2D) materials are excellent candidates to achieve photodetection since they feature strong light-matter interaction, excellent mechanical flexibility, and potential large-scale complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor-compatible fabrication. In this work, we propose to address this demand using an LNOI-2D material platform and demonstrate two types of high-performance LNOI waveguide-integrated 2D material PDs, namely graphene and Tellurium (Te). Specifically, the LNOI-graphene PD features broadband operations at telecom and visible wavelengths, high normalized photocurrent-to-dark current ratios up to 3*106 W-1, and large 3-dB photoelectric bandwidths of over 40 GHz, simultaneously. The LNOI-Te PD on the other hand provides an ultrahigh responsivity of 7 A/W under 0.5 V bias for telecom optical signals while supporting GHz frequency responses. Our results show that the versatile properties of 2D materials and their excellent compatibility with LNOI waveguides could provide important low-cost solutions for system operating point monitoring and high-speed photoelectric conversion in future LN photonic integrated circuits.
