High-damage-threshold static laser beam shaping using optically patterned liquid-crystal devices

Beam shaping of coherent laser beams is demonstrated using liquid crystal (LC) cells with optically patterned pixels. The twist angle of a nematic LC is locally set to either 0 or 90° by an alignment layer prepared via exposure to polarized UV light. The two distinct pixel types induce either no polarization rotation or a 90° polarization rotation, respectively, on a linearly polarized optical field. An LC device placed between polarizers functions as a binary transmission beam shaper with a highly improved damage threshold compared to metal beam shapers. Using a coumarin-based photoalignment layer, various devices have been fabricated and tested, with a measured single-shot nanosecond damage threshold higher than 30?J/cm2.     

Multilayer films of cationic graphene-polyelectrolytes and anionic graphene-polyelectrolytes fabricated using layer-by-layer self-assembly

Extremely thin sheets of carbon atoms called graphene have been predicted to possess excellent thermal properties, electrical conductivity, and mechanical stiffness. To harness such properties in composite materials for multifunctional applications, one would require the incorporation of graphene. In this study, new thin film composites were created using layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly of polymer-coated graphitic nanoplatelets. The positive and negative polyelectrolytes used to cover graphene sheets were poly allylamine hydrochloride (PAH) and poly sodium 4-styrenesulfonate (PSS). The synthesized poly allylamine hydrochloride-graphene (PAH-G) and poly sodium 4-styrenesulfonate-gaphene (PSS-G) were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). The multilayer films created by spontaneous sequential adsorption of PAH-G and PSS-G were characterized by ultra violet spectroscopy (UV-vis), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and AFM. The electrical conductivity of the graphene/polyelectrolyte multilayer film composites measured by the four-point probe method was 0.2 S cm⁻¹, which was sufficient for the construction of advanced electro-optical devices and sensors.     

Fabrication and Characterization of Ultrathin Graphene Oxide/Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) Composite Films via Layer-by-Layer Assembly

Novel multilayer ultrathin films comprised of graphene oxide (GO) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were fabricated through a layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly technique. GO could self-assemble onto quartz substrates alternately with PVA via hydrogen-bonding interactions. X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed that GO was exfoliated to monolayers. The ultrathin films, with PVA/GO multilayer structures fabricated by LBL assembly, were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis, confirming that the assembly of the multilayer films was quantitative and reproducible.     

Linear assemblies of aged CdS particles and cationic porphyrin in multilayer films

Multilayer films of CdS particles and meso-tetra-(4-trimethylaminophenyl)porphyrin cobalt iodide (CoTAPPI) were fabricated via layer-by-layer self-assembly technique. UV-vis absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra and SEM images were used to compare the differences between the films prepared from freshly synthesized nanoparticles and from aged particles. SEM images show the aged CdS particles and CoTAPPI in the multilayer film, assembling in a linear structure. The mechanism of dipole-dipole interaction was presented to explain linear formation.     

Competition between anchoring and reversible photo-induced alignment of a nematic liquid crystal

We investigated the alignment induced on a nematic liquid crystal (LC) by a photo-aligned polymer film with azo-dye side groups. The orientation of the LC molecules can be manipulated in a reversible manner by irradiating the film with polarized light. We analyzed the competition between the orientation induced by the main chain, through rubbing of the film and that induced by the photo-aligned polymer. Anchoring strength for the different processing conditions are reported. The changes in film morphology caused by rubbing or photo-alignment could be captured by atomic force microscopy. The reversibility of the photo-induced alignment and the competition between the two anchoring mechanisms may allow recording and erasing of information in a LC display. PACS 61.30.-v; 61.30.Gd

提出使用金属薄膜对双路偏振影像进行分光以实现三维立体视觉.由两台相同的液晶显示器出射的线偏振光分别被超薄铝膜反射和透射.由于超薄金属膜的光学常数与膜的厚度相关,采用分段线性函数建立铝膜的厚度与体积分数的关系,进而用Sheng模型估计铝膜的光学常数.证明了反射光和透射光都是椭圆偏振光且主轴接近垂直,从而可以通过偏振方向互相垂直的偏振片将两者加以区分,并使观察者对液晶显示器的图像产生深度感.考虑到双目入射光强度的均衡,计算了最优的铝膜厚度.实验结果与理论分析完全符合,验证了方法的正确性. 关键词： 立体视觉 液晶显示 光学常数 超薄金属膜     

ZnS thin film prepared through a self-assembled thin film precursor route

Poly(zinc 1,6-hexanedithiolate) thin film, a precursor to prepare ZnS thin film, was self-assembled on a quartz substrate. The UV-vis spectra monitored the annealing process of the poly(zinc 1,6-hexanedithiolate) film, which revealed that the ZnS thin film began to form at approximately 515 K. The result of XRD confirmed the crystallinity of ZnS. With increase of annealing temperature, a red shift of the emission spectra was observed.     

Epitaxially grown ZnO thin films on 6H-SiC(0 0 0 1) substrates prepared by spin coating-pyrolysis

Epitaxially grown ZnO thin film on 6H-SiC(0 0 0 1) substrate was prepared by using a spin coating-pyrolysis with a zinc naphthenate precursor. As-deposited film was pyrolyzed at 500 °C for 10 min in air and finally annealed at 800 °C for 30 min in air. In-plane alignment of the film was investigated by X-ray pole-figure analysis. Field emission-scanning electron microscope, scanning probe microscope, and He-Cd laser (325 nm) was used to analyze the surface morphology, the surface roughness and photoluminescence of the films. In the photoluminescence spectra, near-band-edge emission with a broad deep-level emission was observed. The position of the near-band-edge peak was around 3.27 eV.     

Laser diagnostics of nanoscale dielectric films on transparent substrate by integrating differential reflectivity and ellipsometry

The effect of nanometer dielectric films on the differential reflection characteristics of linearly polarized light from non-absorbing materials is investigated in the long-wavelength approximation. The second-order formulas for changes in the reflectance of s- and p-polarized light caused by ultrathin layer are obtained. A detailed analysis of the influence of ultrathin film to the reflectivity of p-polarized light in the vicinity of the Brewster angle is carried out. The novel methods are developed for determining the thickness and refractive index of uniform (or the average values of refractive index of nonuniform) nanometer-scale films by differential reflectivity and ellipsometric measurements.

Preparation and optical properties of Cu2O hollow microsphere film and hollow nanosphere powder via a simple liquid reduction approach

In this work, we report a simple liquid reduction approach to prepare Cu₂O hollow microsphere film and hollow nanosphere powder with Cu(OH)₂ nanorods as precursor and ascorbic acid as the reductant at 60 °C.

When the Cu(OH)₂ nanorods are scraped from the copper foil and then used as the precursor, Cu₂O hollow nanosphere powder with the average diameter of 270 nm is obtained. The samples are characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and ultraviolet-vis light (UV-vis) absorption spectra. A possible formation mechanism of Cu₂O hollow spheres is discussed.

Analyses of surface coloration on TiO2 film irradiated with excimer laser

TiO₂ film of around 850 nm in thickness was deposited on a soda-lime glass by PVD sputtering and irradiated using one pulse of krypton-fluorine (KrF) excimer laser (wavelength of 248 nm and pulse duration of 25 ns) with varying fluence. The color of the irradiated area became darker with increasing laser fluence. Irradiated surfaces were characterized using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. Surface undergoes thermal annealing at low laser fluence of 400 and 590 mJ/cm². Microcracks at medium laser fluence of 1000 mJ/cm² are attributed to surface melting and solidification. Hydrodynamic ablation is proposed to explain the formation of micropores and networks at higher laser fluence of 1100 and 1200 mJ/cm². The darkening effect is explained in terms of trapping of light in the surface defects formed rather than anatase to rutile phase transformation as reported by others. Controlled darkening of TiO₂ film might be used for adjustable filters.     

Effect of aging time of ZnO sol on the structural and optical properties of ZnO thin films prepared by sol-gel method

In this work, ZnO thin films were prepared by sol-gel method and the effect of aging time of ZnO sol on the structural and optical properties of the films was studied. The structural characteristics of the samples were analyzed by an atomic force microscope and an X-ray diffractometer. The optical properties were studied by a UV-vis spectrophotometer and a fluorophotometer. The results show that the ZnO thin film prepared by the as-synthesized ZnO sol had relatively poor crystalline quality, low optical transmittance in the visible range and relatively weak ultraviolet emission performance. After the as-synthesized ZnO sol was aged for 24 h, the degree of the preferred crystal orientation along the c-axis of the ZnO thin film prepared by this aged sol was improved. At the same time, this film had a very smooth surface with uniform grains and both its visible range transmittance and ultraviolet emission intensity were obviously increased. These results suggest that appropriate aging of ZnO sol is very important for the improvement of structural and optical quality of ZnO thin films derived from sol-gel method.
