Saturated absorption spectrum of cesium micrometric-thin cell with suppressed crossover spectral lines

Micrometric-thin cells(MCs)with alkali vapor atoms have been valuable for research and applications of hyperfine Zeeman splitting and atomic magnetometers under strong magnetic fields.We theoretically and experimentally study the saturated absorption spectra using a 100-μm cesium MC,where the pump and probe beams are linearly polarized with mutually perpendicular polarizations,and the magnetic field is along the pump beam.Because of the distinctive thin chamber of the MC,crossover spectral lines in saturated absorption spectra are largely suppressed leading to clear splittings of hyperfine Zeeman transitions in experiments,and the effect of spatial magnetic field gradient is expected to be reduced.A calculation method is proposed to achieve good agreements between theoretical calculations and experimental results.This method successfully explains the suppression of crossover lines in MCs,as well as the effects of magnetic field direction,propagation and polarization directions of the pump/probe beam on saturated absorption spectrum.The saturated absorption spectrum with suppressed crossover lines is used for laser frequency stabilization,which may provide the potential value of MCs for high spatial resolution strong-field magnetometry with high sensitivity.

Synthesis of rare earth sulfides and their UV-vis absorption spectra

Rare earth sulfides were systematically synthesized via the sulfurization of their commercial oxide powders using CS2 gas to shorten sulfurization time, and their UV-vis absorption spectra were investigated. The appropriate sulfurization conditions were studied. For the rare earth sulfides with the same crystal structure, the sulfurization temperature showed increasing tendency with the decrease of rare earth element atomic radii. The UV-vis absorption spectra of rare earth sulfides did not depend on the crystal structure of rare earth sulfides, but on the 4f electronic structure of rare earth element. The data showed that the optical band gaps of rare earth sulfides were irregular, and the values ranged from 1.65 to 3.75 eV.

Influence of Composition of Sm_2O_3-Containing Rare Earth Glass on Its Absorption Spectrum

Borosilicate glass with high rare earth content was fabricated by traditional method. The influence of glass compositions and rare earth content on absorption spectra was examined and discussed. With increasing Sm2O3 content, the intensity of characteristic absorption peak is increased and the absorption peak is broadened. With increasing of the ratios of SiO2/B2O3 and Al2O3/SiO2, the broadening degree of absorption peak is increased. The experimental results provide basis for making special optical glasses which have the characteristics of high absorption for special wavelength laser and high transparence for visible light.

Absorption Spectrum Studies on the RDX Crystals with Different Granularity in Terahertz Frequency Range

The absorption spectrum of the cyclotrime-thylenetrinitramine （RDX） with four different particle sizes are measured in the frequency range from 0.1THz to 2.5THz by using the terahertz time-domain spectroscopy （THz-TDS）, and the characteristic absorption peaks are acquired. All the samples are measured in a loose condition, which is very close to the real using environment of the RDX. The results show that the four kinds of samples have similar absorption peaks around the frequency of 0.82THz, 1.05 THz, 1.30THz, 1.46THz, 1.65THz, and 1.95THz. The sample with a large particle size obtains more peaks than the small one, while the peaks obtained from the sample with a small size are more protrudent. The reasons for these differences can be the refraction, scattering, and attenuation of the terahertz wave when it passes through the crystal samples. The theoretical terahertz spectrum of RDX was simulated by using density functional calculations, in which, the Becke ＆amp; Perdew-Wang＇s functional is used in a double numerical plus polarization method （BP/DNP）. Good agreements between the experimental and computed results show that the three peaks located in the frequency of 1.30THz, 1.48THz, and 1.96THz are caused respectively by the twisting of three-nitrogen heterocyclic, the symmetrical oscillations of the double nitro groups, and the oscillations of a single nitro group.

A novel microwave absorption and dielectric spectrum detection technology in photoelectron dynamic study for solar cells

The photoelectron property is directly related to the light-energy conversion efficiency of solar cells. In this paper, the photoelectron dynamic of semiconductor was analyzed. The diffusion of electrons has influence on the dielectric function of the solar cell material. And the amplitude variance of the imaginary and real part of the dielectric function is in direct proportion to the dynamic process of free and shallow-trapped electrons. Based on the untouched detection technique, the method is present to detect the amplitude change of the microwave signal which is passing through the material whose dielectric function changes after exposure. A 35 GHz oscillator was used as a microwave source. The absorption and dispersion microwave signals, which contain the dynamic information of free and shallow-trapped electron signal, are split respectively with phase-sensitive instrument. The photoelectron character of n-type Si(100) thin film was investigated by the novel equipment, and the lifetime of different kinds of electrons with the resolution of 1 ns was obtained. The equipment can be directly used in the study of the optoelectronic conversion mechanism of solar cells.

Absorption Spectrum of Neutral Krypton in the Near Infrared Region

High-resolution absorption spectra of atomic krypton in the range of 11870-12700 cm-1 were recorded by employing concentration modulation absorption spectroscopy technique with a tunable single-mode cw Ti:Sapphire laser. The krypton atoms were excited to the absorbing energy states by discharge-burning in a mixture of helium and krypton. A total of 120 lines of neutral krypton were observed, among them 33 lines had already been classified in previous studies, 45 lines were newly classifi ed with the known energy levels, and 42 lines cannot be classified. These unclassi ed lines indicate that up to now unknown energy levels of Kr must exist. Further, an analysis of the unclassi ed lines to get possible new energy levels with a classi cation program is reported.

MODIFICATION OF ABSORPTION SPECTRUM OF GaAs/AlGaAs QUANTUM WELL INFRARED PHOTODETECTOR BY POSTGROWTH ADJUSTMENT

Quantum well intermixing techniques modify the geometric shape of quantum wells to allow postgrowth adjustments.The tuning effect on the optical response property of a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well infrared photodetector(QWIP) induced by the interdifussion of Al atoms was studied theoretically.By assuming an improvement of the heterointerface quality and an enhanced Al interdiffusion caused by postgrowth intermixings,the photoluminescence spectrum shows a blue-shifted,narrower and enhanced photoluminescence peak.The infrared optical absorption spectrum also shows the expected redshift of the response wavelength.However,the variation in the absorption peak intensity depends on the boundary conditions of the photo generated carriers.For high-quality QWIP samples,the mean free path of photocarriers is long so that the photocarriers are largely coherent when they transport across quantum wells.In this case,the enhanced Al interdiffusion can significantly degrade the infrared absorption property of the QWIP.Special effects are therefore needed to maintain and/or improve the optical properties of the QWIP device during postgrowth treatments.

Calculation of Complete Absorption and Intensity of Optical Radiation Spectrum of HeI (λ= 5875Å) with Fine Structure

Theoretical calculations which account for the complete absorption and intensity for the optical radiation He I (λ= 5875 ?) spectral line with fine structure of the transition 23P2,1,0 - 33D3,2,1 during He nanosecond discharge are presented. For different values of the absorption parameter (χ 0?), the absorption quantity A of the three components distorted as a result of reabsorption multiple process has been numerically obtained and graphically presented. The theoretical results for small values of χ 0? (≤4) give a good agreement with the experimental data in literature.

Coherent Features of Resonance-Mediated Two-Photon Absorption Enhancement by Varying the Energy Level Structure,Laser Spectrum Bandwidth and Central Frequency

The femtosecond pulse shaping technique has been shown to be an effective method to control the multi-photon absorption by the light–matter interaction. Previous studies mainly focused on the quantum coherent control of the multi-photon absorption by the phase, amplitude and polarization modulation, but the coherent features of the multi-photon absorption depending on the energy level structure, the laser spectrum bandwidth and laser central frequency still lack in-depth systematic research. In this work, we further explore the coherent features of the resonance-mediated two-photon absorption in a rubidium atom by varying the energy level structure, spectrum bandwidth and central frequency of the femtosecond laser field. The theoretical results show that the change of the intermediate state detuning can effectively influence the enhancement of the near-resonant part, which further affects the transform-limited （TL）-normalized final state population maximum. Moreover, as the laser spectrum bandwidth increases, the TL-normalized final state population maximum can be effectively enhanced due to the increase of the enhancement in the near-resonant part, but the TL-normalized final state population maximum is constant by varying the laser central frequency. These studies can provide a clear physical picture for understanding the coherent features of the resonance-mediated two-photon absorption, and can also provide a theoretical guidance for the future applications.

Study on the Interaction Between Tangerine Peel and Beer by Absorption Spectrum

This paper presents a new method to study the interaction between tangerine peel and beer by absorption spectrum.The author explores the change laws and the differences of the absorbance on some wave band from the absorption spectrums of tangerine peel and the mixture of tangerine peel and beer. The results show that there is an obvious difference around 323 nm though the absorbance values of the two samples are almost similar in the most bands. The absorbance value of the mixture is obviously greater than that of tangerine peel at 276 nm in the spectrums, and there is a shift of the peak position in the absorption spectrum of the mixture, which shows the differences of the absorbance values and the peak positions of the two samples. Through comparing the characteristics of the two samples' absorption spectrums, a new method for researching new pharmacological action of tangerine peel is presented in this paper. The result indicates that the technology of spectrum analysis will play an important role in the research and development of Chinese herbal pharmacology and new pharmacology.

Flexible regulation engineering of titanium nitride nanofibrous membranes for efficient electromagnetic microwave absorption in wide temperature spectrum

Simultaneous development of well impedance matching and strong loss capability has become a mainstream method for achieving outstanding electromagnetic microwave absorption(EMWA)performances over wide temperature range.However,it is difficult to pursue both due to the mutual restraint of relationship between impedance matching and loss capability about temperature.Here,we propose a flexible regulation engineering of titanium nitride(TiN)nanofibrous membranes(NMs,TNMs),which could be distributed uniformly in the polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)matrix and contributed to the formation of abundant local conductive networks,generating the local conductive loss and enhancing the loss ability of EMWs.Moreover,when the TNMs are used as functional units and dispersed in the matrix,the corresponding composites exhibit an outstanding anti-reflection effect on microwaves.As hoped,under the precondition of good impedance matching,local conductive loss and polarization loss together improve the loss capacity at room temperature,and polarization loss can compensate the local conductive loss to acquire effective dielectric response at elevated temperature.Benefiting from the reasonably synergistic loss ability caused by flexible regulation engineering,the corresponding composites exhibit the perfect EMWA performances in a wide temperature range from 298 to 573 K.This work not only elaborates the ponderable insights of independent membrane in the composition-structure-function connection,but also provides a feasible tactic for resolving coexistence of well impedance matching and strong loss capability issues in wide temperature spectrum.

UV-Vis Spectrum and the Third-order Nonlinear Optical Properties of the Chiral Camphorderived β-diketonate Platinum Complexes

UV-Vis spectrum and the third-order nonlinear optical properties of the chiral camphor-derived β-diketonate have been studied at the B3LYP/6-31G＊ level. The results showed that the introduction of electron-drawing group -CF3 and -C3F7 on β-diketonate made the strongest absorption peak red-shift and the lowest energy absorption blue-shied. Introduction of -OC2H5 on the benzene or pyridine ring made the lowest energy absorption blue-shift. When the -C2H3 was introduced on the benzene or pyridine ring, the lowest energy absorption was red-shifted. Introduction of electron-donating group on β-diketonate can enlarge their nonlinear optical properties. On the contrary, the introduction of electron-drawing group dropped it down.

Crystal microstructure, infrared absorption, and microwave electromagnetic properties of (La_(1-x)Dy_x)_(2/3)Sr_(1/3)MnO_3

The manganite perovskite polycrystal samples of （La1-xDyx）2/3Sr1/3MnO3 （x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.35, and 0.5） doped with Dy were prepared by solid state reaction in atmosphere to measure their X-ray diffraction （XRD） patterns, scanning electric microscope （SEM） images, infrared absorption spectra, and microwave electromagnetic properties. The displacement of the XRD peaks of the samples was found, and the 2θ increases from 0.05o to 0.5o. The grains of undoped La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 not only have the greatest size, but also the most regular shape. The size of the grains decreases as the Dy doping content increases from 0 to 0.5. The infrared absorption spectra of all samples were measured at room temperature. An absorption peak corresponding to the stretching vibration mode of Mn-O bonds appears within the range of 591-629 cm-1. The absorption peak shifts from a higher frequency to a lower one with the decrease of the average ionic radius of A-site. The frequency de- pendence of microwave-absorbing properties, imaginary components of the complex magnetic permeability μ＂ and dielectric permeability ε＂ for all samples was measured at room temperature from 8 to 13 GHz. The results show that the loss of microwave absorption can be attrib- uted to both the magnetic and electric losses. The increase of Dy content not only enhances the microwave absorption but also causes the displacement of the absorption peaks.

Gaussian decomposition and component pigment spectral analysis of phytoplankton absorption spectra

The absorption spectrum of phytoplankton is an important bio-optical parameter for ocean color hyperspectral remote sensing;its magnitude and shape can be aff ected considerably by pigment composition and concentration. We conducted Gaussian decomposition to the absorption spectra of phytoplankton pigment and studied the spectral components of the phytoplankton, in which the package effect was investigated using pigment concentration data and phytoplankton absorption spectra. The decomposition results were compared with the corresponding concentrations of the five main pigment groups (chlorophylls a , b , and c , photo-synthetic carotenoids (PSC), and photo-protective carotenoids (PPC)). The results indicate that the majority of residual errors in the Gaussian decomposition are <0.001 m^-1 , and R 2 of the power regression between characteristic bands and HPLC pigment concentrations (except for chlorophyll b) was 0.65 or greater for surface water samples at autumn cruise. In addition, we determined a strong predictive capability for chlorophylls a , c , PPC, and PSC. We also tested the estimation of pigment concentrations from the empirical specific absorption coeffi cient of pigment composition. The empirical decomposition showed that the Ficek model was the closest to the original spectra with the smallest residual errors.The pigment decomposition results and HPLC measurements of pigment concentration are in a high consistency as the scatter plots are distributed largely near the 1:1 line in spite of prominent seasonal variations. The Wozniak model showed a better fit than the Ficek model for Ch1 a , and the median relative error was small. The pigment component information estimated from the phytoplankton absorption spectra can help better remote sensing of hyperspectral ocean color that related to the changes in phytoplankton communities and varieties.

Blue/red-shift of the p-Phenylene-ethynylene Oligomers Absorption Spectra

The absorption spectra of the p-phenylene-ethynylene（p-PPE） oligomers（up to n = 12） were estimated by DFT and TD-DFT methods. The effective conjugation length（ECL） of the corresponding polymer was obtained by extrapolating the first excitation energies of the oligmers to infinite chain length with an alternative exponential function. The absorption spectral red-shift mainly depends on the ？-conjugation segment of oligomers resulting from the planarization of the backbone. The excitation mechanism of the rotamer has been investigated sufficiently by analyzing the orbital density variation upon the conformational rotations around the cylindrical triple-bonded carbon which is believed to impact significantly on the optical spectrum. The calculated results further indicate that rotation about the cylindrical triple bond interrupts the conjugation of rod-like oligomers to lead an angle-dependence of the corresponding excitation energy. The results are helpful to interpret the conformational-dependent spectroscopic phenomena of p-phenyleneethynylene and derivatives oligomers and polymers observed in ensemble and single molecule spectroscopy.

Oral absorption of hyaluronic acid and phospholipids complexes in rats

AIM: To prepare a complex of hyaluronic acid (HA) and phospholipids (PL), and study the improvement effect of PL on the oral absorption of HA. METHODS: The complex of HA-PL (named Haplex) was prepared by film dispersion and sonication method, its physico-chemical properties were identified by infrared spectra and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The oral absorption of Haplex was studied. Thirty-two healthy rats were divided into 4 groups randomly: (1) a normal saline (NS) control group; (2) an HA group; (3) a mixture group and (4) a Haplex group. After intragastric administration, the concentration of HA in serum was determined. RESULTS: The physico-chemical properties of Haplex were different from HA or PL or their mixture. After Haplex was administered to rats orally, the serum concentration of HA was increased when compared with the mixture or HA control groups from 4 h to 10 h (P < 0.05). The △AUC0-12 h of Haplex was also greater than that of the other three groups (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The method of film dispersion and sonication can prepare HA and PL complex, and PL can enhance the oral absorption of exogenous HA.

Electrochemical Synthesis and Absorption Properties of Gold Nanorods

Suspended gold nanorods have been synthesized via an electrochemical method.The absorption spectrum features show two peaks at 520nm and 650nm,which result from the transverse and longitudinal surface plasmon resonance.The spectra at different growth stages indicate that the absorption peaks split and shift after electrolysis,which correspond to the anisotropy growth of nanorods.The quasi-static calculation results indicate that with increasing the mean aspect ratio of the nanorods,the longer wavelength absorption peak decreases and red shifts obviously,whereas the shorter wavelength absorption peak blue shifts slightly.

Optical absorption and electromagnetically induced transparency in semiconductor quantum well driven by intense terahertz field

An approach for solving the excitonic absorption in a semiconductor quantum well driven by an intense terahertz field is presented.The formalism relies on the stationary single-photon Schro¨dinger equation in the full quantum mechanical framework.The optical absorption dynamics in both weak and strong couplings are discussed and compared.The excitonic absorption spectra show the Autler-Townes doublets for the resonance terahertz field,a replica peak for the non-resonance terahertz field,and the electromagnetically induced transparency phenomenon for modulating the decay rate of the second electron state in the weak coupling.In particular,the electromagnetically induced transparency phenomenon window range is discussed.In the strong coupling region,the multi-order energy level resonance splitting due to the strong optical field is found.There are three（non-resonance terahertz field） or four（resonance terahertz field） peaks in the optical absorption spectra.This work provides a simple and convenient approach to deal with the optical absorption in the exciton system.
