The He-Ar-Cu+ IR laser operates in a hollow-cathode discharge, typically in a mixture of helium with a few-% Ar. The population inversion
of the Cu+ ion levels, responsible for laser action, is attributed to asymmetric charge transfer between He+ ions and sputtered Cu atoms. The Ar gas is added to promote sputtering of the Cu cathode. In this paper, a hybrid modeling
network consisting of several different models for the various plasma species present in a He-Ar-Cu hollow-cathode discharge
is applied to investigate the effect of Ar concentration in the gas mixture on the discharge behavior, and to find the optimum
He/Ar gas ratio for laser operation. It is found that the densities of electrons, Ar+ ions, Arm
* metastable atoms, sputtered Cu atoms and Cu+ ions increase upon the addition of more Ar gas, whereas the densities of He+ ions, He2
+ ions and Hem
* metastable atoms drop considerably. The product of the calculated Cu atom and He+ ion densities, which determines the production rate of the upper laser levels, and hence probably also the laser output power,
is found to reach a maximum around 1–5 % Ar addition. This calculation result is compared to experimental measurements, and
reasonable agreement has been reached.

We present the first photoacoustic spectrometer for gas sensing employing both the fundamental and the frequency-doubled radiation
of a continuously tunable high-pressure CO2 laser with room temperature operation. A quasi-phase-matched diffusion-bonded GaAs crystal is used in the system for second-harmonic
generation. A pulsed photoacoustic detection scheme with a non-resonant cell, equipped with an 80-microphone array, is employed.
The wide continuous tuning range in the fundamental (9.2–10.7 μm) and the frequency-doubled (4.6–5.35 μm) regimes, together
with the narrow linewidth of 540 MHz (0.018 cm-1) for the 10-μm region and of 1050 MHz (0.0315 cm-1) for the 5-μm region, allow the measurement of gas mixtures, individual species and isotope discrimination. This is illustrated
with measurements on NO and CO2. The measured isotope ratio 15
NO/14
NO=(3.58±0.55)×10-3 agrees well with the literature (3.700×10-3) and demonstrates the good selectivity of the system.

Fluorescence at 490 nm from the triatomic excimer Xe2Cl* has been investigated to determine the 308 nm absorption due to this species in an x-ray preionized, self-sustained gas discharge XeCl laser. The dependence of Xe2Cl* density on laser intensity (at 308 nm), buffer gas and Xe and HCl partial pressures has been determined for discharges with a peak electrical power deposition of 2.5 GWl–1. Xe2Cl* absorption is estimated to reach 0.6% cm–1 under non-lasing conditions but decreases to a non-saturable 0.2% cm–1 for intracavity laser intensity>1 MW cm–2. XeCl* and Xe2Cl* fluorescence intensities were found to be a similar for both helium and neon buffer gases but laser output was a factor of two greater with a neon buffer. 相似文献

Sensitive absorption measurements in the near-infrared region using off-axis integrated-cavity-output spectroscopy 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A novel instrument that employs a high-finesse optical cavity as an absorption cell has been developed for sensitive measurements
of gas mixing ratios using near-infrared diode lasers and absorption-spectroscopy techniques. The instrument employs an off-axis
trajectory of the laser beam through the cell to yield an effective optical path length of several kilometers without significant
unwanted effects due to cavity resonances. As a result, a minimum detectable absorption of approximately 1.4×10-5 over an effective optical path of 4.2 km was obtained in a 1.1-Hz detection bandwidth to yield a detection sensitivity of
approximately 3.1×10-11 cm-1 Hz-1/2. The instrument has been used for sensitive measurements of CO, CH4, C2H2 and NH3.

The intense, ultra-fast electronic excitation of clean silicon (100)–(2×1) surfaces leads to the formation of silicon nanostructures
embedded in silicon, which photoluminesce in the yellow-green (∼2-eV band gap). The silicon surfaces were irradiated with
slow, highly charged ions (e.g. Xe44+ and Au53+) to produce the ultra-fast electronic excitation. The observation of excitonic features in the luminescence from these nanostructures
has recently been reported. In this paper we report the dispersion of the excitonic features with laser excitation energy.
A phonon-scattering process is proposed to explain the observed dispersion.

Au-core CdS-shell composite nanoparticles were synthesized by a direct self-assembly process and integrated into BaTiO3 thin films. Characterization by transmission electron microscopy showed that the average diameter of these composite nanoparticles
was about 8 nm. Using the femtosecond time-resolved optical Kerr effect method, we investigated the third-order nonlinear
optical response of the Au@CdS nanoparticles embedded in the BaTiO3 thin films at a wavelength of 800 nm. An ultrafast nonlinear response and a large effective third-order nonlinear susceptibility
of χ(3)=7.7×10-11 esu were observed. We attributed the enhancement of the third-order optical nonlinearity to a localized electric field effect
originating from the core-shell structure under off-surface-plasmon resonance conditions.

Polyhedral graphite (PG) particles have been synthesized by CO2 laser vaporization of graphite in high-pressure Ar gas (8×105 Pa). Faceted PG particles, ranging in size from 110 to 500 nm, have a turbostratic structure. The yield of PG is more than
90%. This synthesis is based on the condensation of hot carbon species confined by an Ar-gas atmosphere.

The electrooptic effect in lithium niobate crystals (LiNbO3) for extremely high externally applied electric fields of up to 65 kV/mm is investigated. Homogeneous electrooptic refractive-index
changes of up to 4.8×10-3 are found for ordinarily polarized light. No quadratic electrooptic effect is observed. An upper bound for the quadratic
electrooptic coefficient of |s13|≤2.3×10-21 m2/V2 is determined. Electrooptic, angular, and wavelength tuning of the Bragg condition of a thermally fixed hologram are demonstrated.

An experimental study was undertaken to investigate the characteristics of XeCl discharge lasers at high gas pressures ( 15 atm). From a comparison of the fluorescence measurements with the net small signal gain coefficients, it was concluded that absorption is the main cause of the catastrophic drop in laser output power in higher pressures. Accounting for such molecular absorbers as Xe+
2, Xe*
2, and Xe2Cl*, the absorption coefficient,K, was calculated using a simple steady-state analysis and the net gain coefficients deduced from the calculated absorptions came to within an order of magnitude of the measured values. 相似文献

We present a method for the selective two- and three-dimensional patterning of sapphire using light ion-beam implantation
to generate severe lattice damage to depths exceeding 1 μm and subsequent selective wet chemical etching of the damaged regions
by hot H3PO4. C-cut sapphire crystals were implanted through contact masks using ion fluences of 1×1016 to 5×1017 He+/cm2 and energies up to 400 keV. The etching process is characterized by a high selectivity and a rate of approximately 19 nm/min.
Whereas an implantation that produces a continuously damaged pathway results in complete etching from the surface, sole in-depth
implantation using only high-energy ions leads to under-etching of the crystalline surface layer. By a combination of these
processes we have fabricated three-dimensional structures such as channels and bridges in sapphire.

We report the reversible micro-structuring of a synthetic rubber polymer (cis1,4-polybutadiene (PB)) by femtosecond laser
illumination. Visco-elastic relaxation of the optically damaged region was observed. The recovery time, typically 102–104 ms, can be varied by changing the irradiation pulse energy. Multi-shot-induced damage recovers on the much longer scale of
101–102 s. It was found that the doping of PB by 4 wt. % of pentazadiene ([4-NO2]–phenyl–N=N–N(C3H7)–N=N–phenyl–[4-NO2]) reduces the threshold of light-induced photo-modification by 20%. This is explained by photo-induced (homolytic) cleavage
of the pentazadiene bonds and formation of gaseous N2, which facilitates material failure at the irradiated spot.
The recovery of optical transmission can be applied to optical memory, optical and micro-mechanical applications. The underlying
mechanism of the phenomenon is discussed in terms of anelastic α- and β-relaxation (polymer backbone and chains/coils relaxation,
respectively).

We describe a 7.4-μm source based on difference frequency generation with 6.5 mW of 1278-nm radiation from an extended cavity
laser and 66 mW of 1544-nm radiation from another extended cavity laser, amplified in an erbium-doped fibre amplifier. Optimum
focusing of the input beams in the 5×5×10-mm3 AgGaSe2 crystal, and the spatial and temporal characteristics of the output beam, are determined. The source is used for accurate
determination of line parameters for selected lines of the ν3 band of SO2, centred at 1361 cm-1. Subsequently, these lines are used for performing quantitative analysis of gas mixtures containing SO2 at concentration levels down to 4 ppm without relying on any calibration with certified gas mixtures. This demonstrates the
potential of infrared spectroscopy as a primary method for low-concentration gas analysis.

Ca,Ta-doped TiO2 varistors with high nonlinear coefficients are obtained by a ceramic sintering. The nonlinear electrical and dielectric properties
of the samples doped with 0.5mol% Ca and various concentrations of Ta (0.05∼2.0mol%) were investigated. The samples sintered
at 1350 °C have nonlinear coefficients of α=5.1∼42.1 and high relative dielectric constants approach 105. The effects of Ta-doping on the nonlinear and dielectric properties of the Ca,Ta-doped TiO2 varistors are studied in greater detail. When the concentration of Ta is 0.5mol%, the sample possesses the highest nonlinear
coefficient and a comparatively lower dielectric constant. The effects of Ta and the nonlinear electrical behavior of the
TiO2 system are explained by analogy to a grain-boundary atomic defect model.

Planar waveguides were formed in Nd:YVO4 crystals by 3.0-MeV Si+-ion implantation at doses of 1×1013–1.5×1015 ions/cm2 at room temperature. The effective refractive indices of the waveguide propagation modes were measured by using a prism-coupling
method. It was found that the number of the propagation modes is dependent on the doses for the waveguides in Nd:YVO4. The atom displacement in the near-surface region (about 2 μm beneath the surface) of the Nd:YVO4 crystal induced by the implantation was simulated by using the TRIM 98 (transport and range of ions in matter) code. The
possible reasons for the waveguide formation are discussed in a primary way.

In order to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the structural defects including the defect types and their concentrations
in oxide heteroepitaxial films, a new X-ray rocking-curve width-fitting method was used in the case of doubleCeO2/YSZ/Si (YSZ=yttria-stabilized ZrO2) films that were prepared by pulsed laser deposition. Two main defect types, angular rotation and oriented curvature, were
found in both CeO2 and YSZ. Dislocation densities of CeO2 and YSZ, which were obtained from the angular rotations, are functions of the YSZ thickness. A distinct two-step correlation
between dislocation densities of CeO2 and YSZ was found that as the dislocation density of YSZ is higher than 2.4×1011 cm-2, the dislocation density of CeO2 shows a high sensitivity with that of YSZ compared with the low relativity in lower dislocation density (<2.4×1011 cm-2). In addition, YSZ always has higher dislocation densities and oriented curvatures than CeO2 in each specimen, which can be attributed to the smaller mosaic domain sizes in YSZ than in CeO2 as observed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.

The results of theoretical and experimental studies and the design of a multi-purpose differential Helmholtz resonant photoacoustic
detector (DHRD) and its applications to high-resolution spectroscopy of molecular gases and gas analysis with a room-temperature
diode laser in the near-IR region are summarized. The series of experiments and numerical analysis of the DHRD sensitivity
were performed for both types (single-pass and multi-pass) of DHRDs within a wide pressure range 0.1–101 kPa, including the
regime of a gas flowing through a DHRD cell. The hardware and electronic arrangement of DHRDs for diode laser spectrometers
and gas analyzers providing a limiting absorption sensitivity better than 10-7 Wm-1 are described. The results of measurements of spectral line parameters of H2O near 800 and 1390 nm and CH4 near 1650 nm (intensities, line broadening and shifting by atomic and molecular gases) are presented and discussed. The problems
and the ways of perfection of the methodology and accuracy of DHRD techniques with tunable diode lasers of near-IR and visible
spectral ranges are discussed.

A portable modular gas sensor for measuring the 13C/12C isotopic ratio in CO2 with a precision of 0.8‰(±1σ) was developed for volcanic gas emission studies. This sensor employed a difference frequency generation (DFG)-based spectroscopic
source operating at 4.35 μm (∼2300 cm-1) in combination with a dual-chamber gas absorption cell. Direct absorption spectroscopy using this specially designed cell
permitted rapid comparisons of isotopic ratios of a gas sample and a reference standard for appropriately selected CO2 absorption lines. Special attention was given to minimizing undesirable precision degrading effects, in particular temperature
and pressure fluctuations.

Ferroelectric Bi3.25La0.75Ti3O12 (BLT) thin films have been grown on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by chemical solution methods. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that BLT thin films are polycrystalline with
(171)-preferential orientation. Atomic force microscopy investigation shows that they have large grains about 120 nm in size.
A Pt/BLT/Pt capacitor has been fabricated and showed excellent ferroelectricity, with a remnant polarization and coercive
field of 24 μC/cm2 and 116 kV/cm, respectively. The capacitor shows no polarization fatigue up to 109 switching cycles. The optical constants (n,k) of the BLT thin films in the wavelength range 0.35–1.7 μm were obtained by
spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements, and the band-gap energy was found to be about 3.25 eV.
