Two-photon absorption and nonlinear optical properties of a new organic dye PSPI

Trans-4-[p-(pyrrolidinyl)styryl]-N-methylpyridinium iodide (abbreviated as PSPI thereafter) is a two-photon absorption (TPA) dye newly synthesized by our research group. It possesses much larger TPA cross-section and much stronger upconversion fluorescence emission than those of common organic dye (such as rhodamine) when excited with near infrared (IR) radiation. TPA spectrum and upconversion efficiency spectrum of HEASPI solution at various wavelengths were measured. There is 34 nm blue shift for the central wavelength of the TPA induced absorption peak compared with two times of the linear absorption peak. The biggest molecular TPA cross-section σ₂^′ is 2.85×10⁻⁴⁷ cm⁴ s/photon at 930 nm. At 1064 nm, σ₂^′ is 3.12×10⁻⁴⁸ cm⁴ s/photon. The highest efficiency is 3.9% at 1010 nm, whereas 2.9% at 1064 nm. Its optical power limiting properties at 930 nm have also been illustrated.

Novel ultra-fast luminescence from incipient ion tracks of insulator crystals: electron–hole plasma formation in the track core

Measurements of fast luminescence decay and time-resolved spectra revealed novel ultra-fast luminescence with the lifetime of several tens ps in heavy-ion-irradiated single crystals of LiF, NaF, NaCl, KCl, KBr, KI, RbI, CsCl, CsBr, CsI, -alumina, and MgO. The luminescence is furthermore characterized by a super-linear increase in the efficiency with increasing excitation density, non-tailed decay curve, and temperature-insensitive decay-rate and yield. The results mean that the luminescence neither originates from localized excited states such as self-trapped excitons, free excitons, excited defects, and excited impurity centers nor their interaction. A process which does not contradict the experimental results is the formation of the e–h plasmas and the luminescence from them.     

稀土有机螯合物发光研究进展

总结了稀土有机螯合物结构与发光性能的关系：配体最低三重态能级与稀土离子激发态能级的匹配是中心稀土离子能否发光的主要因素;螯合物结构的平面性和刚性是中心离子发光效率高低的重要因素;适宜的第二配体的加入一般导致螯合物分子刚性和稳定性增高,因而有利于能量的传递,致使中心离子发光效率增高,但也不能忽视第二配体加入所引起光能的吸收和能量传递过程的竞争;配体的耐热,耐辐射性是配合物能否作为材料的必要因素,自行设计,合成了5类25种新的有机配体及其相应的二元,三元稀土螯合物,研究了这些螯合物的配位性质,发光性能,发光与结构关系及发光机制。提出并发展了稀土离子发光和电子振动光谱作为配合物和生物分子结构探针的两种新的方法。将稀土－β－二酮的发光螯合物与树脂制成荧光塑料;利用铕和铽螯合物的发光和免疫反应,检测了体液中生物活性物质的含量,证实以稀土离子替代放射性同位素作为标记物,有希望替代放射免疫分析方法,成为常规的临床检验方法,利用Tb^3 荧光检测了植物中生长激素的含量。

Photon cascade emission of Pr~(3+) in LnBaB_9O_(16) (Ln = La, Y)

Under 216 nm UV-excitation, cascade emission of Pr3+ occurs from 1S0 state in LaBaB9O16:Pr3+ that converts a single UV photon of high energy into two visible photons. The observation of the cascade emission in this oxide matrix is largely due to the weak crystal field on the lanthanum sites. The analysis of the vibrational coupling indicates that the radiative transition from the 3P0 state is related to the low phonon frequency of the BO4 borate groups bonded to the lanthanum atoms (hwmax-850cm-1). On the other hand, the cascade emission does not take place in a closely related material, YBaB9O16:Pr3+, which can be interpreted by the fact that the 4f5d levels are located below the 1S0 level in this material.     

Progress of estuarine research in China over last 50 years

Under 216 nm UV-excitation, cascade emission of Pr³⁺ occurs from¹S₀ state in LaBaB₉O₁₆:Pr³⁺ that converts a single UV photon of high energy into two visible photons. The observation of the cascade emission in this oxide matrix is largely due to the weak crystal field on the lanthanum sites. The analysis of the vibrational coupling indicates that the radiative transition from the³ P ₀ state is related to the low phonon frequency of the BO₄ borate groups bonded to the lanthanum atoms(hω _max∼850 cm^-1). On the other hand, the cascade emission does not take place in a closely related material, YBaB₉O₁₆:Pr³⁺, which can be interpreted by the fact that the 4f5d levels are located below the¹S₀ level in this material.     

PHOTOCHROMISM AND LUMINESCENCE OF DOPANT CHROMOPHORES THROUGH TWO-PHOTON IONIZATION IN POLYMER FILMS

Two-photon ionization and recombination processes of an aromatic chromophore doped in polymer films werestudied and the features of these processes were discussed in relation to photofunctional polymers, An aromatic moleculehaving low ionization potential, e.g., N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylene diamine doped in poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) film was easily photoionized by intense laser ligh excitation, giving a colored radical cation (photochromism) anda trapped electron in PMMA matrix. As a reversed process, the radical cation recombined with the trapped electron, showingdiscoloration and emitting luminescence, either isothermal luminescence (ITL), or thermoluminescence (TL). In this report,ITL and TL through the charge recombination process were studied and the luminescence was suggested as a mean of the read-out of photorecording.

XANES at Eu-L3 edge and valence of europium in SrB_4O_7: Eu and BaB_8O_(13): Eu

The luminescent materials SrB4O7: Eu and BaB8O13: Eu were synthesized, and the valence states of europium in the materials were measured by means of XANES at Eu-L3 edge. It is found that the Eu3 and Eu2 ions are all present in the materials, and more Eu3 ions can be reduced in SrB4O7: Eu than in BaB8O13:Eu. The excitation and emission spectra of Eu3 in SrB4O7: Eu and BaB8O13:Eu were determined.
