Spectral and temporal characteristics of metallic nanoparticles produced by femtosecond laser pulses

We study the time of flight optical emission from titanium and tungsten nanosized particles, generated through femtosecond laser-matter interaction in vacuum, in the wavelength spectral range from 300 to 900 nm. Typical spectra consist of broadband structureless signals similar to black body emission from a macroscopic object. Nanoparticles temperature, deduced from their emission spectra, decreases drastically as a function of their time of arrival at a given distance from the target. This behaviour is seen to be independent of individual particle velocities.     

Fluorescence and absorption of polystyrene exposed to UV laser radiation

We show that when polystyrene is exposed (for 15–60 sec) to a UV laser light beam (λ = 248 nm), its absorption and luminescent properties change significantly. In the irradiated polymer, optical centers are formed with absorption bands in the 280–460 nm region and fluorescence bands in the 330–520 nm region. We have established the chemical structure of the optical centers for fluorescence of polystyrene. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 73, No. 1, pp. 54–58, January–February, 2006.     

在不同激光脉宽下的高次谐波

用数值计算方法计算了不同强激光脉冲宽度下高次谐波的产生.我们发现对于激光场强度不高,不能有效电离初态的激光场,长脉冲宽度可以更有效产生高次谐波;而对于高场强的激光场,由于它能够在几个光学周期之内把原子的初态全部电离,所以短脉冲的激光场能够更有效产生高次谐波.

强激光在窄通道中传播的理论研究

在考虑相对论和有质动力非线性以及全局电量守衡的前提下,分析了强激光在冷等离子体窄通道中稳定传播的情况。采用较为简化的二维理论模型,给出了描述激光和通道横向结构的解,对不同通道宽度、通道密度、激光强度和电磁模式等进行了讨论,分析了其对激光在等离子体通道中传播的影响。分析发现,在存在预通道的情况下,当等离子体通道的密度大于临界密度很多时(例如20倍临界密度),即使是在激光波长量级的通道中,激光仍然可以传播。通道越宽,等离子体密度越小;激光强度越大越容易传播。在同样的通道和传输情况下,TE0模传输所需要的激光强度比TE1模要小。     

Luminescence investigations of the GaP-based dilute nitride Ga(NAsP) material system

Multi-quantum well heterostructures (MQWHs) of the novel Ga(NAsP)/GaP material system have been grown, pseudomorphically strained to GaP-substrate. The crystalline perfection is verified by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). For As-concentrations in excess of about 70%, a direct band structure and adequate luminescence efficiency for laser device application is observed. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) investigations show the influence of carrier localisation and non-radiative recombination processes typical for dilute nitride materials. With rising N content in the active material, the emission wavelength shifts towards longer wavelength, leading to Ga(NAs)/GaP MQW structures with photon energies below the indirect band gap of silicon (Si). At the same time the luminescence intensity drops due to an increase in non-radiative carrier traps and/or structural degradation.     

Laser induced copper electroless plating on polyimide with Q-switch Nd:YAG laser

The results of laser induced deposition of copper on polyimide substrate from copper electrolyte solution are reported. Unlike most work reported in the literatures where CW Ar⁺ lasers were used, a second harmonic (532 nm wavelength) Q-switch Nd:YAG laser was used for our experiments. The deposition process was conducted by laser-catalyzing of the polyimide surface and subsequent photothermal-accelerated reduction of copper-complex ions in an alkaline reducing environment. The characteristics of the deposited copper line were investigated in terms of laser beam scanning speed, and the number of scans. The surface morphology and chemical composition of the deposited copper were analyzed using field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDX). The optimum processing conditions have been identified. The copper deposit was found to adhere well to the substrate.

约束层对激光驱动冲击波压力影响机理的理论研究

针对刚性约束层、柔性约束层以及液体约束层，从激光诱导冲击波阵面状态、汽化物(包括气体和等离子体)扩散以及冲击波的反射进行分析，发现对于脉宽小于冲击波通过汽化物层的时间间隔的短脉冲激光，约束层并不能直接提高冲击波的冲量，而对于脉宽大于冲击波通过汽化层时间间隔的激光，其增强冲击效果是通过约束汽化物的扩散，提高压力幅值和由于冲击波在约束层与工件表面的多次反射而延长对工件的作用时间来实现的.刚性约束层能最大地增加冲击冲量，而柔性约束层和液体约束层的主要优点是其形状可与非平面形工件表面符合. 关键词： 激光 约束层 扩散 反射波
