High precision refractometry based on Fresnel diffraction from phase plates

When a transparent plane-parallel plate is illuminated at a boundary region by a monochromatic parallel beam of light, Fresnel diffraction occurs because of the abrupt change in phase imposed by the finite change in refractive index at the plate boundary. The visibility of the diffraction fringes varies periodically with changes in incident angle. The visibility period depends on the plate thickness and the refractive indices of the plate and the surrounding medium. Plotting the phase change versus incident angle or counting the visibility repetition in an incident-angle interval provides, for a given plate thickness, the refractive index of the plate very accurately. It is shown here that the refractive index of a plate can be determined without knowing the plate thickness. Therefore, the technique can be utilized for measuring plate thickness with high precision. In addition, by installing a plate with known refractive index in a rectangular cell filled with a liquid and following the described procedures, the refractive index of the liquid is obtained. The technique is applied to measure the refractive indices of a glass slide, distilled water, and ethanol. The potential and merits of the technique are also discussed.     

Adaptive photodetector based on nonsteady-state photo-EMF for the detection of elastic deformations and stresses

Detection of phase-modulated signals generated by mechanical oscillations of a transparent object (plane-parallel glass plate) is considered. The signal is measured with the aid of interferometric system that employs nonsteady-state photo-EMF in adaptive photodetector based on the β-Ga₂O₃ crystal. A mechanical system consisting of a glass plate and a piezoelectric transducer exhibits resonance at a frequency of about 100 kHz. The amplitude of phase modulation has a bell-shaped distribution over the plate surface in the frequency interval under study. The parameters of the adaptive photodetector are determined for a radiation wavelength of λ = 532 nm.     

Simultaneous measurement of the phase and group indices and the thickness of transparent plates by low-coherence interferometry

We propose and demonstrate a novel technique for simultaneous measurement of the phase index, n(p) , the group index, n(g) , and the thickness, t , of transparent plates by use of a low-coherence interferometer. The output light from a superluminescent diode is focused upon the front plane of a transparent plate that is used as the sample. The sample stage is subsequently moved until the light is focused upon the rear plane of the plate. Measurement of the stage movement distance and the corresponding optical path difference allows us to determine both n(p) and n(g) . By placing the sample between two glass plates, we measured n(p) , n(g) , and t simultaneously, with an error of 0.3% or less, for nearly 1-mm-thick transparent plates, including glass and electro-optic crystals.

Scanning monochromatic spatial low-coherence interferometer

A scanning spatial low-coherence interferometer (S-LCI), using an off-axis converging single wavelength laser beam as the probe, resembles a conventional or temporal low-coherence interferometer (T-LCI) in signal formation and data processing. However, the S-LCI is advantageous over a T-LCI with the combination of angle resolving and depth discrimination capabilities. The S-LCI is demonstrated by measuring the angle dependent phase shifts among the multiple reflections of a glass plate, with incident angles accurately scaled in the Fourier domain. The refractive index and geometric thickness of the glass plate are simultaneously produced in this one-step measurement.

Determination of the thickness of a transparent plate using a reflective fiber optic displacement sensor

A fiber optic sensor for determining the thickness of a transparent plate (1–2.5 mm) is described based on a fiber optic displacement sensor. The sensor characteristics are found to vary with the change in the thickness of a plate. A theoretical model is proposed and validated with experimental results. The behavior of the sensor is evaluated and analyzed in terms of the numerical aperture and diameter of the fiber.     

Measuring the thickness and refractive index of a thick transparent plate by an unexpanded laser beam

The thickness and refractive index of a thick transparent plate are measured by using an unexpanded HeNe laser beam. The laser beam is incident at different angles onto the plate; and then two reflected beams; from the front and back surfaces; are received on a distant screen: the corresponding separations between them are measured. A theoretical relation between the refractive index; thickness; angle of incidence and separation is derived. This relation is experimentally verified and shows good agreement. The errors in the measured thickness and refractive index are analysed. The method is non-contact; non-destructive and low cost.     

Bump formation on a glass surface with a transparent coating using femtosecond laser processing

The morphology of a glass surface having a transparent coating processed with focused femtosecond laser pulses is investigated. The transparent coating is formed of poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA). When the glass was coated with a PMMA film with a thickness of 2.8 μm, bumps were formed over a wide range of axial focus positions. The same laser pulse energy produced cavities when processing bare glass with no coating. The bumps were formed as a result of suppressing material emission from the glass surface by a shielding effect of plasma generated by ablation of the PMMA film and by physical blocking of the PMMA film. A thinner film with a thickness of 0.7 μm produced a reduced shielding effect, forming an exploded bump with a small pit at its center and debris around the periphery.

Electrostatic force of dust deposition originating from contact between particles and photovoltaic glass

Charged photovoltaic glass produces an electrostatic field. The electrostatic field exerts an electrostatic force on dust particles, thus making more dust particles deposited on the glass. In this paper, the contact electrification between the deposited dust particles and the photovoltaic glass is studied. Meanwhile, the surface charge density model of the photovoltaic glass and the electrostatic force of charged particles are analyzed. The results show that with the increasing of the particle impact speed and the inclination angle of the photovoltaic panel, the charges on particles increase to different degrees.Under a given condition, the electrostatic forces acting on the charged particles at different positions above the glass plate form a bell-shaped distribution at a macro level, and present a maximum value in the center of the plate. As the distance between the particle and the charged glass decreases, the electrostatic force exerted on the particle increases significantly and fluctuates greatly. However, its mean value is still higher than the force caused by gravity and the adhesion force,reported by some studies. Therefore, we suggest that photovoltaic glass panels used in the severe wind-sand environment should be made of an anti-static transparent material, which can lessen the dust particles accumulated on the panels.     

Experimental model of the role of cracks in the mechanism of explosive eruption of St. Helens-80

A unique mini model of explosive volcano eruption through a formed system of cracks is developed. The process of crack formation and development is simulated by electric explosion of a conductor in a plate of optically transparent organic glass submerged into water. The explosion of a wire aligned with a through hole in the plate generates shock-wave loading along the plate and forms cracks. The fundamental role of high velocity flow in crack wedging by a high power hydrodynamic flow of a pulsating explosion cavity has been demonstrated.     

Double-structured ultrasonic high frequency reactor using an optimised slant bottom

The present work has been carried out in order to design a new type of ultrasonic reactor consisting of a double-structured tank. The inner working compartment is built with a slant bottom to allow a better ultrasonic transmission. This paper reports the effect of the inclination angle on acoustic efficiency for several different plates, e.g. two plates made of glass (2 mm and 3 mm thickness) and one made of PVC (3 mm thickness). The acoustic efficiency was determined as the ratio of the signal measured by a hydrophone in the presence of the plate to that signal in the absence of the plate. Having optimised the system, the ultrasonic powers in the inner and the outer compartments of the slant bottom reactor were determined by hydrogen peroxide dosimetry.     

Photoluminescence and electroluminescence studies of polyvinyl carbazole films

Polyvinyl carbazole (PVK) film has been prepared by solution method. Its absorption, photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) have been studied. For PL and absorption studies, film of PVK was prepared by spreading PVK solution on clean glass plate. The dried film was taken out of the glass plate and used for absorption, thickness measurement and PL studies. The film is transparent in the visible region and absorption starts at 340 nm wavelength. The absorption peaks are obtained at 280, 250 and 220 nm, indicating that optical gap of film is 3.65 eV and molecular orbitals exist at 4.43, 4.96 and 5.64 eV. PL studies reveal that excitation by violet light gives luminescence at 430, 480 and 690 nm. For EL studies, cell is prepared by depositing PVK film on a portion of conducting glass plate and taking aluminum foil as second electrode. It is observed from the characteristics that the current varies linearly, where as EL intensity varies non-linearly with increasing voltage. Higher brightness has been observed at higher frequencies. EL spectrum shows a sharp peak at 400 nm and a broad and less intense peak at 700 nm, which are attributed to radiative decay of singlet exciton and defect centers, respectively.

Surface modification on a glass surface with a combination technique of sol-gel and air brushing processes

This study fabricated the large area and optically transparent superhydrophobic silica based films on glass surface with optimized hardness. A silane coupling agent, tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), effectively bonds silica particles onto the glass substrate. Desired surface roughness was obtained by adjusting nano silica particles concentration of the precursors prepared by the sol-gel process. Silica suspension was coated onto the glass substrate by the air brushing methods. This method can deposit a uniform, transparent coating on the glass substrate efficiently. Diluting the precursor by adding ethanol or a mixture of D.I. water and ethanol further improved the transmittance and superhydrophobicity efficiency. The results showed that as the silica particle concentration and the thickness of the coating were increased, the surface roughness was enhanced. Rougher surface displayed a higher superhydrophobicity and lower transmittance. Therefore, the concentration of silica particle, volume of coatings, and the ratio of ethanol and D.I. water are of great importance to deposit a transparent, superhydrophobic coating on glass.     

Thickness and Surface Profile Measurement by a Sinusoidal Wavelength-Scanning Interferometer

We propose a sinusoidal wavelength-scanning interferometer for measuring thickness and surface profile of a thin film. The interference signal contains phase modulation amplitude Z and phase $aL which are related to the positions and profiles of the reflecting surfaces, respectively. By reducing the difference between the detected signal and the estimated signal using the multidimensional nonlinear least-squares algorithm, we estimate values of Z and $aL. Experimental results show that the front and rear surfaces of a silica glass plate of 20 $mUm-thickness could be measured with an error less than 10 nm.
