In order to cope with these advanced detection methods, it is necessary to develop new stealth technologies to reduce the probability of aircraft being discovered. Semiconductor quantum dots have the characteristics of adjustable size and excellent optical properties. By changing the size and composition of quantum dots, their absorption and emission spectra can be precisely controlled to match the infrared radiation characteristics of the surrounding environment. By monitoring environmental changes in real time and adjusting the voltage of the quantum dots to optimize their emission spectrum, the best stealth effect can be achieved. Based on this, the present invention proposes an aircraft infrared stealth method based on semiconductor quantum dots. Summary of the Invention

[0027] Specific semiconductor quantum dot materials are selected to meet the requirements of different infrared bands. Lead sulfide quantum dots are used for the near-infrared band, with a band gap of 0.4-1.5 eV, covering the 1-3 μm band, which is crucial for aircraft infrared stealth in specific environments. Mercury telluride quantum dots are used for the mid- and far-infrared bands, with a band gap of 0.1-0.5 eV, covering the 3-12 μm band, the region where aircraft infrared signatures primarily appear. Lead sulfide quantum dots and mercury telluride quantum dots are doped with indium arsenide quantum dots and silver nanoparticles and modified by doping. The high mobility of indium arsenide quantum dots can compensate for the lower intrinsic mobility of lead sulfide quantum dots, and silver nanoparticles can enhance the absorption of lead sulfide quantum dots above 1.5μm. At the same time, doping indium arsenide quantum dots can extend the response to 3μm; mercury telluride quantum dots doped with indium arsenide quantum dots can shorten the carrier transit time of mercury telluride quantum dots and achieve rapid response. Silver nanoparticles act as electron traps to reduce the thermal excitation noise of mercury telluride quantum dots.

Its ultrahigh thermal conductivity allows for rapid heat transfer, preventing surface heat accumulation while also providing an electrically controllable interface. A transparent indium tin oxide microelectrode array was embedded within the substrate, using photolithography to create electrodes with a line width of 10 μm and a spacing of 200 μm. These electrodes can be used to apply an electric field, enabling localized electric field control of the quantum dots.
[0029] Lead sulfide quantum dot inks were prepared using doped lead sulfide quantum dots, n-hexane and a small amount of ethanol as carrier solvents, low-molecular-weight polyvinylpyrrolidone as a dispersant, and a UV-responsive acrylate as a curing agent. Mercury telluride quantum dot inks were also prepared using doped mercury telluride quantum dots, cyclohexane and a small amount of dimethylformamide as carrier solvents, hyperbranched polycarboxylic acid as a dispersant, and dipentaerythritol acrylate as a curing agent. The prepared quantum dot inks were sprayed onto graphene / boron nitride substrates and then formed into photonic crystal arrays by microcontact printing.
[0030] A core-shell structure is wrapped around the core quantum dot to improve the optical performance and stability of the quantum dot, and to achieve camouflage of visible light to prevent identification by visible light detectors. Using cadmium selenide / zinc sulfide core-shell structure quantum dots, the cadmium selenide core is responsible for light absorption, and the zinc sulfide shell serves as a surface passivation layer to improve stability. At the same time, a gradient band gap multilayer film composed of quantum dots of different sizes is constructed, with the size gradually changing from 8nm to 3nm, covering the full infrared band of 1-14μm. The band gap is adjusted by size change to achieve full-band spectral control. The band gap calculation formula of the quantum dot itself is: Among them, E g,bulk is the band gap of the bulk material, is the reduced Planck constant, R is the radius of the quantum dot, is the effective mass of the electron, is the effective mass of the hole, and ε is the dielectric constant.

[0035] S22. The control controller uses a spectrum matching algorithm to calculate the external voltage and generate a voltage control instruction.
[0036] A highly sensitive quantum sensor monitors the infrared environment surrounding the aircraft in real time, acquiring the background infrared spectrum. The sampling wavelength range covers 1-14μm, with a sampling interval of 0.02μm. Background noise is eliminated, and key features of the background spectrum are extracted. These features are then transmitted to a control controller, which calculates the optimal quantum dot emission spectrum for the aircraft based on the background infrared spectral characteristics and a formula that maximizes spectral similarity.
[0037] The specific formula is δ is a measure of I QD and I BG The similarity coefficient, I QD is the emission spectrum of quantum dots, indicating the intensity at different wavelengths λ, I BG is the background infrared spectrum, which represents the intensity at different wavelengths λ, V is the control voltage vector, λ is the wavelength, and traverses the entire spectrum, μ QD is the quantum dot spectrum I QD The average value, μ BG is the quantum dot spectrum I BG The average value of .

The system updates the background spectrum every 1 second. BG , synchronously adjust V, generate voltage control instructions, and reduce the aircraft's identifiability under infrared detectors.
[0039] The specific process of the optimization algorithm is to randomly generate a set of initial voltage values V1, V2, ..., V m Form an initial population, each individual represents a possible voltage value. For each voltage V j , calculate whether the spectral similarity maximization coefficient δ reaches the standard value. Sort the individuals according to the δ value and select the individuals with higher fitness to enter the next generation. Cross the voltage values of the two parent individuals to generate new offspring individuals. The specific formula is V child Represents the daughter voltage, V a , V b represents the parent voltage, is a random number in the range of [0,1]. The voltage value of the offspring individuals is randomly disturbed and mutated in a small range to increase the diversity of the population. The formula is V mutated =V child +γ,V mutated is the voltage after perturbation, and γ is a small random number. The selection, crossover, and mutation operations are repeated until the maximum number of iterations is reached or the fitness converges.

[0047] The actuator applies a bias voltage to the indium tin oxide microelectrodes on both sides of the substrate to form a transverse electric field. The direction of the electric field is consistent with the direction of photon propagation, ensuring the high efficiency of carrier injection and modulation. The voltage induces the Stark effect and quantum confinement energy level shift, changes the band gap width of the quantum dot, and thus dynamically adjusts the emission wavelength of the infrared quantum dot. Adjust the voltage applied to the quantum dot, the formula is ΔV(t) represents the voltage adjustment amount that changes with time t, that is, the change value of the voltage applied to the quantum dot, K p is the proportional coefficient, which determines the gain of the response to the current error value. e(t) is the error signal, which is the difference between the current actual value and the expected value.

It represents the integration operation on time from time 0 to time t, which is the accumulation of the error signal in the time dimension.
[0048] S40. Evaluate the difference between the estimated stealth effect of the aircraft under infrared conditions and the measured results, and make optimization adjustments.
[0049] The estimated stealth effect of the aircraft is evaluated based on the accuracy of the acquisition parameters, the similarity accuracy between the aircraft quantum dot infrared spectrum and the background spectrum, and the accuracy of voltage control.
