An Overview of The Photoacoustic Phase Spectra of Rare Earth Complexes

Abstract

The photoacoustic(PA) amplitude and phase spectra of several kinds of rare earth (RE) complexes are reported and summarized briefly. It is observed that both the amplitude and phase spectra well characterize the different energy levels of the RE complexes. The phase angle of the RE complexes is associated with the relaxation time τ and the optical absorption coefficient β concerning with the π-π? transition and the f-f transitions, respectively. After individual detailed discussion of the phase spectra, a reasonable theoretical consideration is given to interpret the results.     

Plasmonic planar lens based on stack of metal–insulator–metal waveguides with height tuning

We introduce a technique capable of focusing electromagnetic (EM) waves through plasmonic nanoslits symmetrically arranged along the indented semi-circular surface in silver background. The EM transports through the tuning slits in the form of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), and gets the required phase retardations to focus at the focal plane. Due to the subwavelength nature of planar metallic lens, we present the rigorous electromagnetic analysis by using two dimensional (2D) finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. These height-modulated slits with uniform width are demonstrated to have unique advantages in beam manipulation. In combination with previous studies, it is expected that our structure with small number of slits could lead to realization of optimum designs of plasmonic nano-lens.     

Coupled caloric effects in multiferroics

We propose a conception – coupled caloric effect   where the enhanced caloric effects originate from the coupling among magnetic, ferroelectric, and structural degrees of freedom. Specifically, as the magneto-electric case, the magnitude of the coupled caloric effect was evaluated for a ferromagnetic–ferroelectric system using a phenomenological calculation based on Landau phase transition theory. The isothermal entropy change is greatly enhanced by increasing the magneto-electric coupling strength. This work indicates that the caloric effect in a ferromagnetic–ferroelectric coupled system consists of pure magnetic entropy change (Δ_SM$\mathrm{\Delta }{S}_M$), pure ferroelectric one (Δ_SE$\mathrm{\Delta }{S}_E$), and coupled one (Δ_SME$\mathrm{\Delta }{S}_{\mathit{ME}}$) that plays a significant part. The counterpart of the last one in magneto-structural coupled system was usually neglected. Our study provides a route to energy-efficient refrigeration via realization of coupling among various ferroic orders.     

Optical study of single crystals grown by the Czochralski method from Yb3+-doped (Gd1−x Y x )2SiO5 solid solution

Yb³⁺-doped crystals were grown by the Czochralski method from (Gd_0.5Y_0.5)₂SiO₅ melt employing seeds cut out from single crystals of Yb:Gd₂SiO₅ and Yb:Y₂SiO₅. XRD analysis revealed that the structure of the solid solution crystals grown is consistent with the structure of the seed, namely C2/c for the Yb:Y₂SiO₅ seed and P2₁/c for the Yb:Gd₂SiO₅ seed. Optical absorption spectra, emission spectra and luminescence decay curves were recorded at 10 K and 300 K. Analysis of gathered spectroscopic data made it possible to evaluate radiative transition rates for the ²F_5/2 multiplet of Yb³⁺ in the two structures and to assess crystal field splitting of multiplets involved in radiative transitions. It has been concluded that transition intensities and relaxation dynamics of Yb³⁺ in the systems studied are similar but the intensity distribution of emission and absorption bands depends significantly on the system structure. This feature, combined with inhomogeneous broadening of spectral lines, may be advantageous for the tailoring of lasers employing ytterbium-doped crystals for specific applications.     

The effect of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane on the formation of NiFe2O4/SiO2 nanocomposites

NiFe₂O₄/SiO₂ nanocomposites were prepared using a sol–gel method with the addition of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APS). Different phases and morphologies of NiFe₂O₄/SiO₂ nanocomposites were obtained when different amounts of APS were used. The structural properties of the products were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Sheet-like morphology was observed at higher molar ratio of APS to NiFe₂O₄, while spherical NiFe₂O₄/SiO₂ nanoparticles separated from each other were formed at lower molar ratio of APS to NiFe₂O₄. The magnetic properties of the nanocomposites were also investigated, indicating that the interparticle interactions exhibit strong dependence on the molar ratio of APS to NiFe₂O₄.     

Theoretical and experimental investigation of thermal effects in a high power Yb-doped double-clad fiber laser

In this paper, based on the thermal conduction equations and the steady-state rate equations, a theoretical and numerical analysis of thermal effects is investigated for a single end pumped Yb-doped double-clad fiber laser (YDDC). The distributions of signal power and temperature for different pump powers and fiber parameters are compared. According to the results, the parameters of the optical-cavity have been optimized and an effective method has been adopted to reduce the thermal effects in an experimental investigation. As a result, an output power of 621 W has been obtained with a slope efficiency of 78%.     

Optimization of direct modulation rate for circular microlasers by adjusting mode Q factor

Semiconductor microcircular lasers have been investigated as potential light sources for photonic integrated circuits and optical interconnections for more than two decades. However, the direct modulation bandwidths of the circular microlasers remain a challenge, especially when being compared with other microlasers, such as photonic crystal lasers. In this paper, microcircular lasers connected to an output waveguide are investigated for high‐speed direct modulation with optimized mode Q factors. Small signal modulation with a resonance frequency of f_R = 12.5 GHz is realized for a AlGaInAs/InP circular microlaser with a radius of 10 µm at 290 K. Furthermore, clear eye diagrams are observed at 12.5 Gbit/s for a 15‐µm radius circular microlaser with f_R = 6.9 GHz.
