All-Optical Multi-Mode Interference Switch Using Non-Linear Directional Coupler as a Passive Phase Shifter

Abstract

This article presents an all-optical multi-mode interference switch in which the non-linear directional coupler is utilized to realize a passive phase shifter. The proposed structure can be used either as a 1 × 2 or a 2 × 2 switch, with two inputs applied simultaneously in the latter case. The operation of the device is mainly based on the phase difference of the inputs of the multi-mode interference section. The beam propagation method is used for the design and simulation of the structure. The simulation results approve the low sensitivity on wavelength and fabrication tolerances. The crosstalk of the structure is equal to ?31.6 dB.     

p‐TSA Catalyzed Synthesis of 2,4,5‐Triarylimidazoles from Ammonium Heptamolybdate Tetrahydrate in TBAI

A one‐pot synthesis of 2,4,5‐trisubstituted imidazoles from 1,2‐diketone or α‐hydroxy ketone, aldehyde and ammonium heptamolybdate tetrahydrate in an inexpensive and readily available ionic liquid, tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) in molten state using catalytic amounts of p‐TSA has been described.     

Highly efficient polymer‐stabilized palladium heterogeneous catalyst: Synthesis,characterization and application for Suzuki–Miyaura and Mizoroki–Heck coupling reactions

A suitable approach to stabilize palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs), with an average diameter of 3–4 nm, on magnetic polymer is described. A new magnetic polymer containing 4′‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2,2′:6′,2″‐terpyridine (HPTPy) ligand was prepared by the polymerization of itaconic acid (ITC) as a monomer and trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) as a cross‐linker and fully characterized. Pd NPs embedded on the magnetic polymer were successfully applied in Suzuki–Miyaura and Mizoroki–Heck coupling reactions under low palladium loading conditions, and provided the corresponding products with excellent yields (up to 98%) and high catalytic activities (TOF up to 257 hr^?1). Also, the catalyst can be easily separated and reused for at least consecutive five times with a small drop in catalytic activity.     

A new strategy to design a graphene oxide supported palladium complex as a new heterogeneous nanocatalyst and application in carbon–carbon and carbon‐heteroatom cross‐coupling reactions

The palladium nanoparticles were successfully stabilized with an average diameter of 6–7 nm through the coordination of palladium and terpyridine‐based ligands grafted on graphene oxide surface. The graphene oxide supported palladium nanoparticles were thoroughly characterized and applied as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst in carbon–carbon (Suzuki‐Miyaura, Mizoroki‐Heck coupling reactions) and carbon–heteroatom (C‐N and C‐O) bond‐forming reactions. The catalyst was simply recycled from the reaction mixture and was reused consecutive four times with small drop in catalytic activity.     

Green,mild and efficient bromination of aromatic compounds by HBr promoted by trans-3,5-dihydroperoxy-3,5-dimethyl-1,2-dioxolane in water as a solvent

A combination of HBr and trans-3,5-dihydroperoxy-3,5-dimethyl-1,2-dioxolane as anew and powerful oxidant was found effective for facile brotnination of different aromatic compounds at room temperature in water as a green solvent.Mild reaction conditions,high selectivity and yield,high reaction rate and non-toxicity are some of the major advantages of this synthetic protocol.
