Xiaomin Ren-调整.pngNovel Understanding of Micro-Particles: The Rest-
Energy-Excluded Frequency-Determination Energy
and the Potential-Energy-Affected Wavelength
Prof. Xiaomin Ren
Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China

Abstract
Both electronics and optoelectronics are essentially based on de Broglie wave-particle duality which has played its role as the micro-particle fundamentals including the relation between particle energy and wave frequency and that between particle momentum and wavelength. However, the frequency-determination energy in the first relation has usually been misunderstood as the rest-energy included total particle energy and the wavelength in the second relation has been mistaken as a quantity only related to the momentum. Here presented are the modified ones featuring the rest-energy excluded frequency-determination energy and the potential-energy-affected wavelength (an effective momentum peff =(1+QuU/Ek)p in the first order approximation of weak potential-energy is introduced) as well as the consequentially  re-established Schrödinger equation and Dirac equation written respectively as follows

For the former one, it can be found that when Q= 1 and thus 3 - 2Q= 1, it is just the Schrödinger equation that we are familiar with. It means that, actually, Schrödinger equation can be considered as a valid one only under the above-mentioned first-order approximation and the assumption of Qu=1. 
For the latter one, it can be found that in the case of free space with U=0, the re-established Dirac equation becomes

which is much simpler and even more elegant than the corresponding currently-recognized Dirac equation. Furthermore, it can be proved that the re-established Dirac equation can degenerate into the re-established or even the original Schrödinger ones when the particle velocity comes into the non-relativistic regime.
These modifications and re-establishments might lead to fascinate stories of the quantum-mechanics theory and various relevant technologies, especially in the area of electronics and optoelectronics.

He had also been a Vice President of BUPT (1996-2017), the Director of SKL-IPOC (2003-2023) and the Chairman of ACP Conference Steering Committee (2015-2023). He worked as a Senior Visiting Scholar in Centro Studi E Laboratori Telecomunicazioni, Turin, Italy, and then as a Visiting Senior Research Fellow in the Microelectronics Research Center, University of Texas at Austin, USA, during 1994 to 1996. He had been awarded with the title of Outstanding Young Scientist of China by NNSFC (1996). He had been a Vice Head of the Optoelectronic Expert Group under the National 863 Program for many early years and the Chief Scientist of the relevant research projects of the National 973 Program twice from 2003 to 2014. He has worked on information optoelectronic technologies and nanoheterostructure physics, mainly including semiconductor lasers, photodetectors, silicon-based III-V optoelectronic integration, novel low-dimensional heterostrucutures and devices, photonic crystal fibers, etc. He has also worked on fundamental physics since 2012 and proposed the concept of energy-level divergence, the theory of fractional (or continuous real-number) dimensionality electron-states architecture in semiconductors, the Bivergentum Theory going to unify the classical and quantum mechanics together and extend the Einstein's high speed special theory of relativity to a quite new one, i.e. the full-velocity-scope special theory of relativity. He advocates that quantum mechanics must go back to Logicism (in contrast with Instrumentalism) and believes that there does exist an amazing super-low speed 'world'.

Photoacoustic imaging empowered by fiber-optic
ultrasonic sensors

 Prof. Bai-ou Guan
 Jinan University

Abstract
Photoacoustic imaging as a hybrid imaging technology that integrates optical excitation and acoustic detection can not only provide anatomical information of biological tissues, but also reflect functional information such as oxygen saturation and metabolism rate. Conventional piezoelectric sensors for the detection of photoacoustic signals confront tradeoff between the sensitivity and footprint size, limiting the capability and flexibility for high-performance system design. In contrast, fiber-optic ultrasonic sensors feature size-independent sensitivity, small size, high sensitivity, and large working bandwidth, and therefore open up new path for developing miniaturized and wearable photoacoustic imaging systems. This talk will introduce our recent progress in photoacoustic imaging technology based on fiber-optic ultrasonic sensors. The fiber laser ultrasonic sensor technology with high sensitivity and strong anti-interference capability is introduced at first, which is followed by photoacoustic endoscopy, small-animal head-mounted photoacoustic microscopy, and the deep-penetration photoacoustic computed tomography.
