Impact of photodepletion to amplified spontaneous emission of proton-transfer dyes in polymeric matrices

A six level rate equation system was used to investigate the impact of photodepletion to amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) of intramolecular proton-transfer (IPT) dyes incorporated into polymeric hosts. The model includes the most important transitions for the normal and tautomer form of the molecule as well as intersystem crossing and triplet–triplet transitions. The experimentally observed pulse shape as well as photodepletion phenomena, i.e. a first order exponential decay of the ASE intensity and a shortening in ASE pulse width, have been simulated successfully. Additionally, the model was used to propose an explanation of the unexpected high photodepletion of proton-transfer dyes in solids. The results show that the emission cross section and reabsorption cross section of the tautomer form of the molecule are the most important parameter not only for efficiency but also for photodepletion. The model was tested by comparison with experimental results of 2-(2’-hydroxyphenyl)benzimidazole in polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polystyrene (PS) and a 1:1 alternating copolymer matrix PS-co-PMMA.

New Non-Linear Inequalities for Flag-Vectors of 4-Polytopes

In this paper we prove four new (infinite) lists of quadratic inequalities, and four cubic inequalities, for the flag f-vectors of 4-polytopes. These extend and supplement the only four currently known non-linear inequalities, which were proved by Bayer in 1987. The new lists of inequalities for flag f-vectors yield new lists of inequalities for f-vectors of 4-polytopes. Using the latter, we managed to improve an estimate discovered by Hoppner and Ziegler concerning upper bounds of f₁ in terms of f₀ and f₃.
