The micro-PL and I-V responses are measured before and after the decoration orAl NPs. The FDTD stimulation is also carried out to demonstrate the optical field distribution around the decoration of Al NPs on the surface of a ZnO microrod. Due to an implementation of AI NPs, the ZnO microrod exhibits an improved photoresponse behavior. In addition, AI NPs induced localized surface plasmons (LSPs) as well as improved optical field confinement can be ascribed to an enhancement of ultraviolet (UV) response. This research provides a method for improving the responsivity of photodetectors.展开更多

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.展开更多

The increase of temperature caused a change in the molecular structures of both types of oils seen as a gradual decrease of intensity amplitudes of absorption and fluorescence signals. A significant alteration occurred at ≈200°C where almost the main spectra of pheophytin-a, b, carotenoids, lutein and vitamin E in EVOO and linoleic acid and oleic acid in CO disappeared. An independent experiment showed the output of laser changes linearly with the input in oil at constant temperature (i.e., room temperature) where the transmission values of ≈33% and ≈75% are determined for EVOO and CO respectively. However, the transmission through a heated oil exhibited a non-linear behaviour which indicates the molecular optical response to thermal changes. The effect of storage time and adulteration of oils were also evaluated.展开更多

The films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV-visible transmittance and reflection spectra, h-BN thin films with a wide optical band gap Eg (5.86 eV for the as-deposited film and 5.97 eV for the annealed film) approaching h-BN single crystal were successfully prepared by radio frequency (RF) bias magnetron sputtering and post-deposition annealing at 970 K. The optical absorption behaviour of h-BN films accords with the typical optical absorption characteristics of amorphous materials when fitting is made by the Urbach tail model. The annealed film shows satisfactory structure stability. However, high temperature still has a significant effect on the optical absorption properties, refractive index n, and optical conductivity σ of h-BN thin films. The blue-shift of the optical absorption edge and the increase of Eg probably result from stress relaxation in the film under high temperatures. In addition, it is found that the refractive index clearly exhibits different trends in the visible and ultraviolet regions. Previous calculational results of optical conductivity of h-BN films are confirmed in our experimental results.展开更多

Deposition rate of the film firstly increases and then decreases with variable flow ratios R {[CF4]/([CF4] + [CH4]} due to the competition between deposition and etching process. Results from Fourier-transform infrared transmission spectroscopy of these films show that C-F bond configuration in a-C:F:H films evolves with the variable gas flow ratios R. The locations of the C-F peaks in IR spectra shift to higher frequency with the increase of R, and finally the structure in films with R >75% takes on a PTFE-like structure, which mainly consists of -CF2- chain. The change of optical band gap Eg deduced by a Tauc plot with R is also discussed.展开更多

The solubility and metastable zone width of aqueous solutions of pure and KCl (10 mol%) doped KAP crystal were evaluated to analyze the crystallization process. Measuring the induction period τ, the critical nucleation parameters like interfacial energy (σ), energy of formation of the critical nucleus (ΔG*) were determined using the classical theory of nucleation. The structural properties and optical constants of the grown crystals have been put to test and observed that the addition of KCl results in an enhancement of properties of the crystal. Grown crystals were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. FTIR spectra confirmed the presence of KCl in pure KAP crystal. UV- Visible spectroscopic studies revealed that addition of KCl in pure KAP crystal increased transparency from 75% to 80%. The analysis of the optical absorption data revealed the presence of both indirect and direct transitions and both of these band gaps increased with the addition of KCl. The transmittance data was analyzed to calculate the refractive index, oscillator energy, dispersion energy, electric susceptibility, zero-frequency dielectric constant and both the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric permittivity as a function of photon energy. The moments of ε(E) were also determined. The dispersion i.e. spectral dependence of the refractive index was discussed according to the single-effective oscillator model proposed by Wemple and DiDomenico.展开更多

It is observed that the molar volume increases with increasing Ag2O content leading to open struc- ture. Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) reveals the formation of BO3 and BO4 groups upon addition of silver oxide as modifier. From the Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-VIS) absorption spectra it is seen that the optical band gap increases with the increase of Ag2O content. Urbach energy is observed between 0.55 - 0.77 eV. The results obtained from molar volume, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy and band gap energy measurements are in agreement with each other and nearly give the similar information about the studied glasses.展开更多

文摘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.

文摘Using CH4 and CF4 precursor gases, amorphous fluorinated hydrocarbon (a-C:F:H) films were prepared with the method of microwave electronic cyclotron resonant (ECR) plasma chemical vapor deposition. Deposition rate of the film firstly increases and then decreases with variable flow ratios R {[CF4]/([CF4] + [CH4]} due to the competition between deposition and etching process. Results from Fourier-transform infrared transmission spectroscopy of these films show that C-F bond configuration in a-C:F:H films evolves with the variable gas flow ratios R. The locations of the C-F peaks in IR spectra shift to higher frequency with the increase of R, and finally the structure in films with R >75% takes on a PTFE-like structure, which mainly consists of -CF2- chain. The change of optical band gap Eg deduced by a Tauc plot with R is also discussed.

文摘Slow evaporation method was used to grow pure and KCl (10 mol%) doped KAP single crystal. The solubility and metastable zone width of aqueous solutions of pure and KCl (10 mol%) doped KAP crystal were evaluated to analyze the crystallization process. Measuring the induction period τ, the critical nucleation parameters like interfacial energy (σ), energy of formation of the critical nucleus (ΔG*) were determined using the classical theory of nucleation. The structural properties and optical constants of the grown crystals have been put to test and observed that the addition of KCl results in an enhancement of properties of the crystal. Grown crystals were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. FTIR spectra confirmed the presence of KCl in pure KAP crystal. UV- Visible spectroscopic studies revealed that addition of KCl in pure KAP crystal increased transparency from 75% to 80%. The analysis of the optical absorption data revealed the presence of both indirect and direct transitions and both of these band gaps increased with the addition of KCl. The transmittance data was analyzed to calculate the refractive index, oscillator energy, dispersion energy, electric susceptibility, zero-frequency dielectric constant and both the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric permittivity as a function of photon energy. The moments of ε(E) were also determined. The dispersion i.e. spectral dependence of the refractive index was discussed according to the single-effective oscillator model proposed by Wemple and DiDomenico.
文摘Silver doped sodium borate glasses prepared by melt-quenching technique were checked by XRD technique for their amorphous nature. It is observed that the molar volume increases with increasing Ag2O content leading to open struc- ture. Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) reveals the formation of BO3 and BO4 groups upon addition of silver oxide as modifier. From the Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-VIS) absorption spectra it is seen that the optical band gap increases with the increase of Ag2O content. Urbach energy is observed between 0.55 - 0.77 eV. The results obtained from molar volume, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy and band gap energy measurements are in agreement with each other and nearly give the similar information about the studied glasses.

文摘Novel poly(dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS)doped with two diferent spiropyran derivatives(SP)were investigated as potential candidates for the preparation of elastomeric waveguides with UV-dependent optical properties.First,free-standing flms were prepared and evaluated with respect to their photochromic response to UV irradiation.Kinetics,reversibility as well as photofatigue and refractive index of the SP-doped PDMS samples were assessed.Second,SP-doped PDMS waveguides were fabricated and tested as UV sensors by monitoring changes in the transmitted optical power of a visible laser(633 nm).UV sensing was successfully demonstrated by doping PDMS using one spiropyran derivative whose propagation loss was measured as 1.04 dB/cm at 633 nm,and sensitivity estimated at 115%change in transmitted optical power per unit change in UV dose.The decay and recovery time constants were measured at 42 and 107 s,respectively,with an average UV saturation dose of 0.4 J/cm2.The prepared waveguides exhibited a reversible and consistent response even under bending.The sensor parameters can be tailored by varying the waveguide length up to 21 cm,and are afected by white light and temperatures up to 70℃.This work is relevant to elastomeric optics,smart optical materials,and polymer optical waveguide sensors.
