Pico-second spectroscopy of the secondary radiation from resonantly excited excitonic molecules in CuCl

Pico-second time-resolved measurements of the two-photon resonant Raman scattering via excitonic molecules in CuCl were carried out for the first time. The Raman scattering leaving transverse excitons decays as fast as the laser light. When the energy of the incident light falls in the vicinity of the two-photon resonant absorption, both Raman and luminescence lines are simultaneously observed. In case of just resonant excitation, the transient response indicates that the secondary radiation can be decomposed into the Raman and the luminescence components as regards its temporal and spectral behavior.     

Optical properties of nanoplasmon excitations in clusters of endometallofullerenes

The optical properties of solutions of endometallofullerenes with lanthanides (Gd@C₈₂, Ce@C₈₂, La@C₈₂, Y@C₈₂) in dimethylformamide are studied. It is found that these solutions luminesce in the visible region. This luminescence is accompanied by enhanced Raman scattering. It is suggested that these processes are related to nanoplasmon excitations in clusters of endometallofullerenes. It is shown that the luminescence spectrum is described by a superposition of three to four Gaussian spectral profiles, whose energy positions and intensities nonmonotonically depend on the energy of excitation quanta. A detailed quantitative dependence of the intensity and shape of the Raman scattering signal on the concentration of endometallofullerenes in the solutions is determined. Comparative measurements are performed for the emission spectra of solutions of simple fullerenes and chromatographically pure endometallofullerenes. Complex investigations show that the visible luminescence and Raman scattering enhancement are only observed in the case of the formation of nanosized anionic complexes of endometallofullerenes in the solution.     

Narrow-linewidth passband filter for ultraviolet rotational Raman imaging

We present a narrow-passband spectral filter capable of frequency-resolved imaging of rotational Raman light scattering with strong spectral rejection of out-of-band Raman, Rayleigh, and Mie scattering. The filter is based on mercury-vapor absorption, and subsequent resonant fluorescence and has a passband of less than 1 cm(-1). It is paired with an injection-seeded, cavity-locked, frequency-tripled Ti:sapphire laser that produces >30 mJ/pulse of single-mode, tunable light in the vicinity of 253.7 nm. The laser and filter are combined to spectrally resolve scattering from individual rotational Raman lines of nitrogen and oxygen.     

Amplification effect on SBS and Rayleigh scattering in the backward pumped distributed fiber Raman amplifier

The amplification effect on stimulated Brillouin scattering （SBS） and Rayleigh scattering in the backward pumped G652 fiber Raman amplifier （FRA） is studied. The pump source is a 1427.2-nm fiber Raman laser whose power is tunable between 0 - 1200 mW, and the signal source is a tunable narrow spectral bandwidth （〈 10 MHz） external cavity laser （ECL）. The Rayleigh scattering lines are amplified by the FRA and Stokes SBS lines are amplified by the FRA and the fiber Brillouin amplifier. The total gain of SBS lines is the production of the gain of Raman amplifier and that of Brillouin amplifier. In experiment, the SBS gain is about 42 dB and the saturation gain of 25-km G652 backward FRA is about 25 dB, so the gain of fiber Brillouin amplifier is about 17 dB.     

Transformation of resonant Raman scattering into luminescence in CdxZn1−xTe mixed crystals: Time-resolved spectroscopy

We report an experimental study of time characteristics of secondary emission in Cd_xZn_1-xTe mixed crystals (x = 0.32) under resonant excitation with a picosecond dye laser. When the incident laser frequency is tuned on to the luminescence maximum of localized excitons, the decay curve of the intensity of “Raman-like” lines exhibits a single exponential decay. Off resonance, however, a short-lived component corresponding to Raman scattering appears in addition to the long-lived component. The intensity of the Raman component relative to that of the luminescence component increases with increase of the off-resonance frequency. From these temporal behaviors, we have found, for the first time, the transformation of resonant Raman scattering into luminescence in mixed crystals as a function of incident frequencies.

Raman scattering of light in silicon nanostructures: First-and second-order spectra

First-and second-order Raman scattering spectra in Si nanocrystals have been studied. The shift to lower frequencies and the substantial broadening of first-order Raman scattering lines observed to occur with decreasing nanoparticle size were established to correlate with those in second-order spectra. It is shown that the experimentally observed shifts of peaks and their broadening cannot be predicted based only on the phenomenological model of strong phonon wave function localization. The anharmonic effect originating from the heating of the nanoparticle surface by laser radiation should also be included. Proper fitting of experimental data revealed that the anharmonic constants depend strongly on nanoparticle size. The shape and spectral positions of maxima in second-order Raman scattering spectra have been theoretically described.     

气体拉曼传感增强技术研究进展与趋势

不论是在科学研究,食品安全,医学检测,还是在安全事故预防等领域,对多组分混合气体进行快速、准确的定性定量分析已经成为一种迫切的需求。拉曼光谱法是一种强大的气体传感方法,既能克服传统的非光谱法检测时间长、重复性差等弱点,又能弥补吸收光谱法无法直接测量同核双原子分子的缺点,同时还能使用单一频率的激光器对多组分混合气体进行定性和定量分析。但由于物质固有的弱拉曼效应,加之气体的拉曼效应一般远低于固体和液体,这极大地限制了拉曼光谱法在气体传感领域的应用。如何提高气体的散射强度是使气体拉曼传感技术得到更广泛应用的关键。目前最主要的气体拉曼传感增强技术包括腔增强技术和光纤增强技术。腔增强技术从提高与待测气体作用的激发光强度和作用路径来从源头上增强拉曼散射信号,包括多次反射腔增强、 F-P腔增强、激光内腔增强。光纤增强则从提高球面散射光的收集效率来增强拉曼散射信号,使绝大部分拉曼散射光都能进入光谱探测器,包括镀银毛细管增强和空芯光纤增强。简要介绍了上述两种技术的的增强原理,汇总了研究进展以及应用现状,并讨论了它们各自的优势以及局限性,最后着眼于多组分痕量气体的检测,展望了气体拉曼传感技术未来的发展趋势...

Spectral properties of backward stimulated scattering in liquid carbon disulfide

The spectral structure of backward stimulated scattering from a 10 cm-long CS₂-liquid cell is investigated by using Q-switched 10-ns and 532-nm laser pulses with different spectral linewidths. Under a narrow spectral line (∼0.1 cm⁻¹) pump condition, very strong sharp lines near the pump wavelength (λ ₀) position and the first-order stimulated Raman scattering (λ _s1) position can be observed. However, under a wide line (≈1 cm⁻¹) pump condition, only a strong and superbroadening spectral band can be observed mainly in the red-shift side of the pump wavelength. The different spectral features under these two conditions can be explained by a competition between stimulated Brillouin, Raman, and Rayleigh-Kerr scattering. Under both pump conditions, the broadening spectral distributions are not consistent with the predictions given by stimulated Rayleigh-wing scattering theories, but can be interpreted well utilizing the theoretical model of stimulated Rayleigh-Kerr scattering.

Indirect exciton luminescense and Raman scattering in CdI2

Intrinsic luminescence and Raman scattering in 4HCdI₂ have been investigated at 2 K. Weak emission bands observed near the absorption edge are attributed to the phonon-assistes indirect exciton luminescence. Several new Raman lines are observed under resonant excitation in addition to known lines. The symmetry of the phonon modes associated with the indirect transitions as well as with Raman scattering is discussed.     

Two-photon resonant Raman and luminescence of excitonic molecules in CuCl

Two-photon resonant Raman scattering via excitonic molecule in CuCl is studied with using dye laser excitation of different band widths. The yield of the Raman scattering is found to drop remarkably at resonant excitation and luminescence line of 0.3 meV half-width comes out. The predominance of the Raman or luminescence or their coexistence depends on the intensity and energy band width of excitation light.

Goldstone mode of a magnon Bose−Einstein condensate in MnCO<Subscript>3</Subscript>

The dependence of the enhancement of the Raman scattering on the size of a dielectric column is measured in structures with the spatial modulation of the height and lateral sizes of the dielectric coated with a thick metal layer (10–80 nm). It is established that, in the case of a thick metal coating (silver, gold, and copper coatings are used) at dimensions of the dielectric column close to the laser pump wavelength, considerable enhancement of the Raman signal oscillating upon the variation of the geometrical dimensions of the structure is observed. It is shown that the observed resonance enhancement of the Raman signal is associated with the transformation of the electromagnetic radiation into localized plasmon–polariton modes, and the efficiency of such transformation is determined by the commensurability of the wavelength of the plasmon–polariton mode and the planar size of the metal film. For different metal coatings, the dependence of the enhancement of the Raman scattering on the laser wavelength is measured.     

Enhanced stimulated Raman scattering in H<Subscript>2</Subscript> by seeding an SRS line into an H-ɛ Balmer line: Amplification-coupled laser wavelength shifter

The stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in H₂ gas above the dissociation energy limit was recorded using a 266-nm UV laser. All of the observed Stokes and anti-Stokes SRS lines showed a normal behavior except the third Stokes SRS lines at 397.8 nm, which showed a substantial intensity enhancement of about a 36%-conversion efficiency of the pump energy. This enhancement in the SRS line is attributed to the seeding of the SRS line into the Balmer H-? line at 397 nm in molecular hydrogen. To the best of our knowledge, there is no report of any work on enhanced stimulated Raman scattering in H₂ by the seeding of the H-? Balmer line into the SRS line and attaining a very high intensity at the third Stokes SRS lines at 397.8 nm. The cell pressure and the laser pulse energy dependence of these SRS lines substantiate our explanation.

Studies of relaxation times of secondary radiations in ZnTe by circular polarization correlation

Population and spin relaxation rates concerned with exciton luminescence and multiple LO-phonon emission lines are studied in ZnTe at 77 K by means of optical circular polarization correlation between the exciting and emitted lights. The decay times of the LO lines are determined to be much less than 10^-11sec, which are definitely shorter than the obtained exciton lifetime of 10^-10-10^-9sec. It is concluded that the LO lines are not due to hot luminescence but due to resonance Raman scattering.     

Silicon nanoparticles: Their photoluminescence, complex refractive index, and relationship with the band structure

The photoluminescence, IR transmission, and Raman scattering spectra of nc-Si nanocrystals (5 nm in size) have been investigated. The shape and spectral position of maxima in the photoluminescence and IR transmission spectra are theoretically described. It is shown that nc-Si particles consist of a Si core and a SiO₂ shell. The existence of surface Si-O and Si-H states in Si nanocrystals enhances photoluminescence. It is established that the spectral position of the main Raman scattering peak in the frequency range 500–520 cm^?1 undergoes a significant red shift for small-size nanostructures. Based on direct determination of the complex refractive index of n-Si nanoparticles by measuring spectral ellipsometric parameters, nanostructured silicon is found to be an indirect-gap semiconductor.
