Excitation energy transfer in poly(p-phenylphenylenevinylene) determined by polarized fluorescence spectroscopy

Polarized fluorescence spectroscopy is used to investigate the photophysical behavior of poly(p-phenylphenylenevinylene) (PPPV) in polystyrene matrix in comparison with oligomeric model compounds. For this purpose PPPV is modeled by a chain consisting of a distribution of independent oligomeric segments. Excitation energy transfer (EET) between the segments depends on the wavelength of excitation, not only for transfer along an isolated polymer chain, but also for intermolecular transfer at high concentration of PPPV. The spatial range of EET, as indicated by fluorescence depolarization, is reduced for excitation at the long wavelength edge of the absorption spectrum (“red-edge-effect”). © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

New Expressions for Depolarization Dyadics in an Axially Uniaxial Bianisotropic Medium

Novel expressions for the depolarization dyadics in an axially uniaxial bianisotropic medium (AUBM) are presented. Explicit formulae for the depolarization dyadics are derived for cubical, cylindrical and spherical geometries and their dependence on the magnetoelectric coupling parameter is studied graphically.

Orientation of sp2 carbon nanoclusters in ion‐implanted polymethylmethacrylate as revealed by polarized Raman spectroscopy

Raman spectroscopy is widely used for the characterization of bonding type in carbon‐based materials, including carbonized surface layer in ion‐implanted polymers. Studies of the polarization properties of Raman scattering from amorphous carbonaceous materials, however, are very scarce. In this paper, we investigate the polarized Raman spectra of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) implanted with 50‐keV Si⁺ ions at fluences in the range 3.2 × 10¹⁴–1.0 × 10¹⁷ ions/cm² and for different visible excitation wavelengths. The spectra of the implanted samples are dominated by the D‐ and G‐bands of sp² carbon, which evidence strong carbonization of the ion‐modified layer. The multiwavelength excitation allowed us to resonantly probe the depolarization ratios for sp² clusters of different sizes. We established that the depolarization ratio ρ_G of the G‐band correlates with the sp² cluster size approaching the random orientation limit of 0.75 for the smallest clusters and a limiting value of 0.41 for the largest clusters. The experimental findings give evidence for a preferable orientation of the larger size clusters with their hexagonal planes perpendicular to the surface of the sample. A plausible explanation for such an arrangement is that the sp² clusters form tile‐like arrangements along the ion tracks. This finding may give clues for understanding of the strong transconductance of the ion‐modified layer, and open prospects for the application of polarized Raman spectroscopy as a characterization tool for surface morphology in ion‐implanted materials.

General expression for the depolarization ratio for first‐order collision‐induced light scattering

A general expression that involves only the ranks of the molecular polarizabilties of the two molecules involved in a pair interaction yielding translational and rotational collision‐induced light scattering (CILS) is obtained. It may be used to investigate the behaviour of individual interactions that contribute to the incremental collision‐induced pair polarizability. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Simultaneous acquisition of all four forms of circular polarization Raman optical activity: results for α‐pinene and lysozyme

A new circularly polarized (CP) Raman spectrometer is described that demonstrates simultaneous acquisition of all four forms of circular polarization Raman optical activity (ROA). The instrument is a design extension of a commercially available back scattering circular polarization (SCP) ROA spectrometer. Circular polarization of the incident beam is introduced with a quarter‐wave plate, and a half‐wave plate alternately positioned in and out of the beam controls the modulation between right circular polarization (RCP) or left circular polarization (LCP) states. Combining this modulation with the simultaneous detection of RCP and LCP scattered Raman radiation allows the measurement of incident circular polarization (ICP), SCP, in‐phase dual circular polarization(DCP_I) and out‐of‐phase DCP_II‐ROA. In addition, three different forms of backscattered Raman spectra, namely unpolarized, highly polarized, and depolarized Raman spectra, as well as a degree of circularity spectrum are obtained. The performance of the new all‐CP ROA spectrometer is evaluated with neat α‐pinene and aqueous hen lysozyme solution. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

经理论计算，在四通道激光干涉仪中二元光学分束器的退偏问题通常不会影响仪器的测量精度，实验结果支持这个结论。用其取代传统的棱镜或平板玻璃来分束有着明显的优点。但当光栅周期小于波长量级和测量精度达纳米级时，对其退偏问题要给予充分的考虑。
