An athermal arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) multiplexer relying on an all-polymer approach is reported. By properly adjusting
the positive coefficient of thermal expansion of the polymer substrate and the negative thermo-optic coefficient of the polymer
waveguide, athermal and polarisation-independent AWG devices are demonstrated.

There are no established methods that have a sensitivity during the determination of an adsorbed polymer film mass that is
not worse than 1 ng that do not require additional calibration and the usage of reference measures. A highly sensitive method
for measuring an adsorbed polymer is proposed in this work. The added mass was determined by the change of the resonance frequency
of a cantilever used in atomic-force microscopy (AFM) as a probe. A modification of the cantilever surface is proposed that
allows one to avoid the affect of the adsorbed polymer on the cantilever force constant. The mass of poly(diallyldimethylammonium)
(PDDA) chloride adsorbed on the cantilever surface was obtained with a sensitivity of 0/01 ng using an AFM cantilever. 相似文献

A thermal model of the interaction of pulsed near-infrared laser radiation from a Nd:YAG laser was made, taking the measured
powder properties such as reflectance, optical penetration depth and thermal conductivity into account. It allows an estimation
of the evolution of two different temperatures: the average temperature of the powder (taken over the grains in a volume given
by the laser beam diameter and the optical penetration depth) and the temperature distinction within a single grain. It showed
that in pulsed mode consolidation can be achieved at much lower average power as the surface of the powder particles are molten
but their cores remain at nearly room temperature. This leads to a much lower average temperature and therefore a dramatic
decrease in residual thermal stresses in the finished piece. The results of the model were experimentally tested and confirmed.

The finite element method is employed to analyze photoacoustic cavitation and heat transfer occurring when modest temperature
jumps (T-jumps) are induced by a laser in D2O solution, which may contain a small concentration of a protein or peptide sample. Cavitation can be initiated through a
photoacoustic mechanism at intensities well below optical breakdown thresholds. Cavitation probability is related to test
medium properties, initial temperature, T-jump magnitude and test region geometry. Parameters affecting thermal conduction
losses are also examined because such losses limit the useful duration of the T-jump induced in protein folding experiments.
From this study, guidelines are offered for reducing the occurrence of cavitation and extending the useful duration of the
T-jump.

A fast imaging method in a contact-mode atomic force microscope (AFM) is examined for its principle and performance, where
the image is acquired by combining a cantilever signal and a feedback signal applied to a piezotube. The frequency component
of the feedback signal is restricted in the lower frequency region to keep the linear relationship between the feedback signal
and the displacement of the piezotube. It is shown that the image is basically independent of the feedback details since a
wide detection bandwidth is certified by the cantilever response much faster than by the feedback response, allowing a fast
scanning. The fast scanning, however, enhances the distortion in the transient region where surface height changes abruptly.
This influence can be reduced by choosing the scan line direction for the data acquisition. The combination procedure also
reduces the low-frequency noise in the feedback signal. A 512×512-pixel image was obtained in 90 s without sacrificing the
resolution.

We introduce a novel concept for optical frequency measurement and division which employs a Kerr-lens, mode-locked laser as
a transfer oscillator whose noise properties do not enter the measurement process. We experimentally demonstrate that this
method opens up the route to phase-link signals with arbitrary frequencies in the optical or microwave range while their frequency
stability is preserved.

This work is devoted to the study of a family of almost periodic one-dimensional Schr?dinger equations. Using results on
the asymptotic behavior of a corresponding monodromy matrix in the adiabatic limit, we prove the existence of an asymptotically
sharp Anderson transition in the low energy region. More explicitly, we prove the existence of energy intervals containing
only singular spectrum, and of other energy intervals containing absolutely continuous spectrum; the zones containing singular
spectrum and those containing absolutely continuous are separated by asymptotically sharp transitions. The analysis may be
viewed as utilizing a complex WKB method for adiabatic perturbations of periodic Schr?dinger equations. The transition energies
are interpreted in terms of phase space tunneling.

The sampling of high-frequency signals using poled electro-optic polymer films as electro-optic probe tips has been demonstrated
for the first time. The electro-optic polymer, which was spin coated onto a high-reflectivity glass substrate, was corona
poled; thus an asymmetric Fabry–Perot microcavity was formed, based on the difference between the polymer reflectivity and
that of high-reflectivity glass. This converts phase modulation to amplitude modulation, so only one laser beam is needed
in this system. The sampling technique has been analyzed by multiple reflection and index ellipsoid methods. A 1.2 GHz microwave
signal propagating on a coplanar waveguide transmission line has been sampled, and a voltage sensitivity of about 0.5 mV/ was obtained.

BaTiO3–polymer composite layers have been produced by the spin-on technique (thickness 3–10 μm). The dielectric permittivity of
the layers at room temperature can be tuned from 2.8 to approximately 33 by varying the ceramic filling from 0 to 60% by volume.
The dielectric properties of the films are almost insensitive to temperature variations in the range 20–180 °C. Free-standing
composite layers with ceramic content ≤50% are flexible without noticeable change of permittivity after repeated mechanical
bending.

The renormalization group is not only a powerful method for describing universal properties of phase transitions, but it is
also useful for evaluating non-universal thermodynamic properties beyond mean-field theory. In this contribution we concentrate
on these latter aspects of the renormalization group approach. We introduce its main underlying ideas in the familiar context
of the ideal Bose gas and then apply them to the case of an interacting, confined Bose gas within the framework of the random
phase approximation. We model confinement by periodic boundary conditions and demonstrate how confinement modifies the flow
equations of the renormalization group, thus changing the thermodynamic properties of the gas.

1 C60 (A = Rb, Cs, K) and RbC70 have been investigated by neutron scattering. The studies include measurements in the high temperature rotator-, the polymer-,
the dimer- and the low temperature isolator-phase and include investigations of the particular phase transitions. It is found
that each of the phases can be characterized by specific features of its lattice dynamics which can be used for detailed studies
of the dynamics of the rotator-polymer and the dimer-polymer transitions. Particular insight in the lattice dynamics is obtained
from model calculations for the RbC60 polymer and dimer phase.

The spin asymmetry of internal photo-electron emission over Schottky barriers has been investigated for Fe/GaAs (001) having
close-to-ideal current–voltage characteristics. Using a low-power circularly polarised YAG laser operated at its fundamental
frequency (λ=1064 nm) as well as a visible diode laser (λ=670 nm) we demonstrate that, by eliminating the photo-current due
to inter-band transitions in GaAs with the infrared source, a significant enhancement to the magnetic asymmetry could be achieved.
The bias dependence of the asymmetry was also measured. It was found that the values were considerably different for the photo-electrons
traversing the barriers in opposite directions.

This study proposes a general methodology for estimating the depth profile of the heat source of the thermal transport system during deep X-ray lithography. The exposure process in a lithography system is considered as an inverse heat conduction problem with an unknown heat source. The conjugate gradient method is used to solve the inverse problem. Numerical results confirm that the method proposed herein can accurately estimate the heat source even involving the inevitable measurement errors. Furthermore, this methodology can also be applied to estimate the local distribution of temperatures when using scanning thermal microscopy (SThM) to microthermally machine materials and will contribute to increase the quality of microthermally machined products. In addition, a thermomechanical data-storage system, which utilizes a resistively heated atomic-force-microscopy (AFM) cantilever tip to read and write data bits, can also adopt this inverse methodology to control the temperature of a polymer substrate. 相似文献

Behaviors of the photoluminescence blue-band and near-bandgap peak and the relevant thermal ionization energies of the shallow
and deep Mg-related acceptors have been studied, respectively. The 2.989 eV blue-band is attributed to the deep donor–acceptor-pair
transitions involving a deep Mg-related acceptor at Ev+0.427 eV. The blueshift with increasing excitation power is explained by variation in the contribution of close and distant
donor–acceptor-pairs to the luminescence. The redshift with increasing temperature results from thermal release of carriers
from close donor–acceptor-pairs. The 3.26 eV near-bandgap peak is attributed to the shallow donor–acceptor-pair transitions
involving a shallow Mg-related acceptor at Ev+0.223 eV. The relevant thermal ionization energies of the shallow and deep Mg-related acceptors, being about Ev+0.16 and Ev+0.50 eV, are determined from deep-level transient Fourier spectroscopy measurements.

Thermo-optic 1×2 vertical coupler switches (VCSs) using a hybrid polymer/silica integration technology were designed using
a finite element method and a coupled mode method for different refractive index contrasts. The multilayer structures were
optimized by thermal analysis. Based on these designs and simulations, hybrid polymer/silica thermo-optic 1×2 VCSs exhibiting
low insertion loss, low crosstalk, low switching power and polarisation independence were demonstrated. Based on this building
block, a 1×8 VCS has been fabricated.

We report on measurements of the spin lifetime of nuclear spins strongly coupled to a micromechanical cantilever as used in magnetic resonance force microscopy. We find that the rotating-frame correlation time of the statistical nuclear polarization is set by the magnetomechanical noise originating from the thermal motion of the cantilever. Evidence is based on the effect of three parameters: (1) the magnetic field gradient (the coupling strength), (2) the Rabi frequency of the spins (the transition energy), and (3) the temperature of the low-frequency mechanical modes. Experimental results are compared to relaxation rates calculated from the spectral density of the magnetomechanical noise. 相似文献

UV (325 nm) holographic recording of gratings in indium oxide films fabricated by reactive pulsed laser deposition has been
investigated as a function of growth temperature, oxygen pressure and angle of incidence of the plasma plume on the substrate.
The influence of the ambient environment (air or vacuum) and the film temperature during recording has also been studied.
Large steady state refractive index changes up to 6×10-3 were observed in layers grown at an oblique angle of 75°. About 77% of the magnitude of these changes residues after thermal
annealing and is attributed to UV-induced permanent structural rearrangements. In contrast, refractive index changes in films
grown at normal incidence were smaller in magnitude and completely reversible.

An organosilicon compound, hexamethylcyclotrisilazane (HMCTS), was photolyzed in a solid film at 84 K with an ArF excimer
laser. A polymeric film was prepared as a result of polymerization and/or crosslinking using a reactive species such as 1-(methylsilyl)methanimine,
generated by photolysis. At room temperature in air, the film changed into a polymer having siloxane units. However, fragments
generated by laser irradiation of HMCTS in the frozen film made a similar polymer film having a siloxane structure on a PVA
film in air. The polymeric film with siloxane units prepared by the cryogenic laser ablation method displayed hydrophobic
properties.

We investigate the effect of geometric anisotropy on the optical nonlinearity enhancement for a periodic composite with a
rectangular array of elliptic semiconducting cylinders in an insulating host. By using a series expression of the space-dependent
electric field obtained by a simple Fourier method in a periodic composite, we calculate the frequency dependence of the effective
third-order nonlinear susceptibility as a function of anisotropy. The results show that the height of the nonlinearity enhancement
peak may be increased by several orders of magnitude as the aspect ratio of the ellises is decreased or the lattice edge length
ratio is increased. At resonance frequency, there exists a strong anomalous dispersion. We also investigate the effect of
the volume fraction of the semiconductor phase for composites with a square array of circular semiconducting cylinders.

A dual-beam pulsed-laser time-resolved thermal lens (TRTL) has been used to study the heat dissipation effects in solid polymers
employed as laser dyes. The laser-dye samples studied are polymer solutions of rhodamine 6G (Rh6G), namely homopolymers of
methyl methacrylate (MMA) and copolymers of methyl methacrylate and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) with MMA:HEMA compositions
1:1 and 7:3 vol./vol., where the dye is either dissolved or modified and copolymerized with methacrylate monomers. The long-term
stability of the laser material is independent of the thermal diffusivity of the samples, as determined by the TRTL technique.
This suggests that the rate of heat dissipation does not play a major role in the photostability of the samples. In contrast,
the TRTL experiments have revealed permanent changes in the optical properties of the polymers when subjected to a large number
of laser pulses. This is explained in terms of permanent plastic deformation of the matrices.
