Visible Light Emission due to Resonant CO2 Laser Excitation of Dental Hard Tissue

Visible light emission of dental hard substances excited by high-power infrared pulses of a tunable TEA CO₂ laser has been investigated. A clear correlation between observed visible light emission, plasma formation as well as ablation of dental hard tissue has been demonstrated. Both, the highly nonlinear infrared to visible upconversion process and the ablation efficiency show a sharp spectral resonance close to a vibrational mode of PO₄ at 1090 cm^-1 in dental enamel and dentin. The influence of strong infrared light impulses on dental hard tissue is examined by performing upconversion studies of visible light emission of human dental enamel and dentin. Our experimental setup allows one to determine the plasma formation threshold being important in dental surgery.     

Photogalvanic effect in asymmetric quantum wells and superlattices

We have investigated the influence of the final states of bound-to-continuum transitions within the conduction band of asymmetric quantum well structures on the photocurrent. This influence manifests itself by an energy-dependent oscillation of the current direction. We observe pronounced oscillations at zero bias voltage in a double quantum well structure, induced by an asymmetric excitation into continuum states with positive and negative momentum, i.e. by a photogalvanic effect (PGE). If this effect is superimposed on an asymmetric backrelaxation, similar oscillations are observed in the spectrum when the latter asymmetry is compensated by an external electric field. Theoretically, we find a strong relation between the PGE and a quantum interference effect occurring in the continuum.     

Stimulated infrared emission under excitation of condensed molecular dielectrics with giant pulses of a ruby laser

Stimulated infrared (IR) emission from a condensed dielectric medium under exposure to a giant pulse of a ruby laser is reported. This effect was predicted in the theoretical paper [1]. Experimental studies were carried out for a number of molecular liquids in two experimental geometries. In the first case (“in transmission” geometry) the propagation direction of the detected IR radiation coincided with that of the exciting radiation. In the second case IR radiation generated was detected in the opposite direction. The angle of divergence of IR radiation was found to be of 10⁻² rad, while the conversion efficiency with respect to the pumping intensity depended on the type of molecular liquid and varied in the range of 0.05–0.6%. Possible microscopic mechanisms of generation of IR radiation under pumping of the dielectric medium with visible or ultraviolet (UV) radiation are analyzed.     

基于MDA法计算水雾粒子红外隐身粒径

水雾隐身技术是一种较为理想且经济适用的目标特征信号控制技术。本文从辐射传输方程出发,考虑水雾粒子的本身辐射和散射,提出以红外表观透射率评价水雾粒子的红外隐身性能。应用Modified Differential Approximation(MDA)法结合MIE理论,计算了水雾粒子红外表观透射率随水雾粒子浓度和粒径的变化关系,得到水雾粒子最佳红外隐身粒径。结果表明:水雾粒子的红外表观透射率随粒子浓度的增加而减小,但当粒子的浓度增加到一定值时,红外表观透射率基本保持不变;水雾粒子的红外表观透射率随粒径的增加先减小后增大,当探测波段为3～5μm时,水雾粒子的最佳红外隐身粒径为6μm;而探测波段为8～12μm时,水雾粒子的最佳红外隐身粒径为12μm。

First high-resolution analysis of the 4ν1+ν3 band of nitrogen dioxide near 1.5 μm

The high-resolution absorption spectrum of the 4ν₁+ν₃ band of the ¹⁴N¹⁶O₂ molecule was recorded by CW-Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy between 6575 and 6700 cm⁻¹. The assignments involve energy levels of the (4,0,1) vibrational state with rotational quantum numbers up to K_a=8 and N=48. A large majority of the spin-rotation energy levels were reproduced within their experimental uncertainty using a theoretical model which takes explicitly into account the Coriolis interactions between the spin-rotational levels of the (4,0,1) vibrational state and those of the (4,2,0) and of (0,9,0) dark states, the anharmonic interactions between the (4,2,0) and (0,9,0) states together with the electron spin-rotation resonances within the (4,0,1), (4,2,0) and (0,9,0) states. Precise vibrational energies, rotational, spin-rotational, and coupling constants were determined for the {(4,2,0), (0,9,0), (4,0,1)} triad of interacting states. Using these parameters and the value of the transition dipole-moment operator determined from a fit of a selection of experimental line intensities, the synthetic spectrum of the 4ν₁+ν₃ band was generated and is provided as Supplementary Material.
