Probe Raman spectroscopy in photon traps

It was found that the use of multifiber probes and photon traps allows contactless measurement of Raman scattering spectra for small amounts (～1 µg) of organic and inorganic compounds at exposures of 1–16 s. The possibility of improving the sensitivity of Raman scattering spectrum measurement using globular photonic crystals as matrices or substrates carrying analyzed compounds was studied.     

Effective photon spectra for the photon colliders

The luminosity distribution in the effective mass at a photon collider usually has two peaks which are well separated: a high energy peak with mean energy spread about 5–7% and a wide low energy peak. The low energy peak strongly depends on the details of the design and is unsuitable for the study of new physics phenomena. We find a simple approximate form for the spectra of colliding photons for and colliders, whose convolution describes the high energy luminosity peak with a good accuracy in most of the essential preferable region of the parameters.

Raman scattering in condensed media placed in photon traps

A new type of resonator cells (photon traps) has been worked out, which ensures the Raman opalescence regime (i.e., the conditions under which the relative Raman scattering intensity at the outlet of the cells increases significantly as compared to the exciting line intensity. The Raman scattering spectra of a number of organic and inorganic compounds placed in photon traps are studied under pulse-periodic excitation by a copper-vapor laser.

Excitation spectra of donor-acceptor pair photoluminescence in ZnTe

Photoluminescence excitation spectra of donor-acceptor pairs have been observed in phosphorus doped ZnTe. Binding energies of the donor and the acceptor is estimated from the spectra. Emission spectra measured under below-band-gap excitation showed sharp bands superimposed with a broad emission band. The result indicates the existence of two decay processes under the below-band-gap excitation: (1) recombination of an electron and a hole trapped on a given D-A pair, and (2) recombination of D-A pairs with various distances for which bound electrons are formed via conduction band.     

The photoluminescence excitation spectra of multicomponent media

With no restrictions on the value of optical density, we derive an equation that describes the photoluminescence excitation spectra of separate components with overlapping absorption bands in a multicomponent medium. Based on the equation obtained, we propose methods for measuring the ratios of absorption optical densities of the components and quantum yields of their luminescence. The applicability of the proposed methods is demonstrated by measuring the characteristics of coumarin and porphyrin dissolved in different proportions in ethanol. We have also measured the quantum yield and luminescence decay time of the radiationinduced color centers F ₃ ⁺ in the lithium fluoride crystal and calculated probabilities of radiative and nonradiative transitions from the first excited singlet state of these centers.     

Photoluminescence of aromatic compounds in photon traps under resonant pulse-periodic excitation

The photoluminescence spectra of aromatic compounds in a photon trap under ultraviolet pulse-periodic excitation are recorded. It is shown that the photoluminescence spectrum shape depends on the material layer thickness in a cell, physical state of the sample, and exciting radiation characteristics: as the layer thicknesses decreases, the intensity is significantly redistributed, which is explained by the transition from spontaneous luminescence to superluminescence.     

Manifestation of oxygen desorption in photoluminescence spectra of ZnO

The influence of oxygen desorption on the photoluminescence of zinc oxide has been investigated. Photodesorption and thermal desorption of oxygen have been controlled using mass spectrometry. It has been found that the removal of oxygen from the ZnO surface leads to a manifold increase in the exciton photoluminescence intensity. The process has a reversible character. The mechanism of increase in the exciton luminescence intensity of ZnO during the oxygen desorption has been discussed.     

Site selective optical spectra of free base porphin in anthracene

The low temperature optical spectra of free base porphin in crystalline anthracene have been observed in the visible region of the spectrum. Quasilines and broad components were observed in the region of the forbidden Q bands. Site selection techniques were used to separate the spectra of inequivalent site species, and vibronic frequencies were assigned in the ground state and excited Q states. The relative strengths of the broad and quasiline components of the spectra in the Q_x and Q_y states indicated that the host lattice may affect the relative transition strengths of Q_x and Q_y. These results indicated that the strength of the transition to Q_x is greater than that of Q_y for a free porphin molecule.     

Electroluminescence,photoluminescence and electroabsorption of a lightly substituted anthracene langmuir film

Optical data are presented for a novel thin film structure based on anthracene. Thin films of the 9-butyl–10-anthryl propionic acid derivative were prepared using the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. By applying electric fields in excess of 10⁶ V cm^?1 both electroabsorption and electroluminescence results have been obtained. The electroluminescence spectrum exhibits a shoulder at the wavelength where the maximum in the fluorescence spectrum occurs.     

Low-temperature photoluminescence spectra of highly excited quantum wires

Optical spectra of highly excited quantum wires at low temperatures have been studied within the dynamical screening approximation. We found a strong Fermi-edge singularity (FES) in the photoluminescence spectra. The spectral shape and FES intensity strongly depend on temperature in agreement with recent experimental results.

Enhancing redshift phenomenon in time-resolved photoluminescence spectra of AlGaN epilayer

AlGaN epitaxial layer has been studied by means of temperature-dependent time-integrated photoluminescence(PL)and time-resolved photoluminescence(TRPL). An enhancing redshift phenomenon in TRPL spectra with increasing temperature was observed, and the localized excitons behaved like quasi two-dimensional excitons between 6 K and 90 K. We demonstrated that these behaviors are caused by a change in the carrier dynamics with increasing temperature due to the competition of carriers' localization and delocalization in the AlGaN alloy.     

Exciton transitions in photoluminescence spectra of AIAs/GaAs superlattices

Conclusions The studies performed here have shown that the superlattice samples studied exhibit photoluminescence spectra which agree with the Kronig-Penney model, although in calculating the energies of the radiative transitions it is necessary to take into account the binding energy of the excitons,E _B. Due to the exciton—phonon interaction, the 1HH peak breaks up on the long wavelength side into a Poisson distribution. The energy of the LO phonon so determined is 34 meV. Bands due toD ⁰-A ⁰ andD ⁰X transitions, caused by remaining low-level impurities in the GaAs crystals are also observed.

Fabrication and temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectra of Zn–Cu–In–S quaternary nanocrystals

A series of Zn-Cu-In-S nanocrystals （ZCIS NCs） are prepared and the optical properties of the ZCIS NCs are tuned by adjusting the reaction time. It is interesting to observe that the temperature-dependent photoluminescence （PL） spectra of the ZCIS NCs show a redshift with decreasing intensity at low temperature （50-280 K） and a blueshift at high temperature （318--403 K）. The blueshift can be explained by the thermally active phonon-assisted tunneling from the excited states of the low-energy emission band to the excited states of the high-energy emission band.
