Lattice Compatibility Theory LCT investigations on physical and optical constants of antimony processed antimonite nano-films

Antimonite (Sb₂S₃) thin films have been synthesized through an annealing process in sulfur vapors at 300 °C of Sb thermal evaporated films. Deposited films have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and UV–vis–NIR spectroscopy. X-ray diagrams of these films have confirms that they were well crystallized in orthorhombic structure and some parameters such as the lattice parameter, crystallite size, microstrain and degree of preferred orientation have been reported and correlated with the effect of crystallite size. Optical properties of Sb₂S₃ films have been characterized by solid-state UV–visible absorption spectroscopy, and the band gap E_g was between 1.75 and 2.23 eV. Moreover, additional opto-thermal investigation and analyses within the framework of the Lattice Compatibility Theory provided plausible explanation for thickness-dependent incorporation of sulfur element inside antimony elaborated matrices.     

The effect of local electronic interaction on the optical properties of boron–nitride nanotubes

We investigate the behavior of optical absorption of boron–nitride nanotubes (6,0) in the context of Hubbard model at the paramagnetic sector. GW approximation has been implemented in order to make self-energy matrix of electronic system. Afterwards, the real and imaginary parts of transverse dielectric functions have been obtained using linear response theory. The results show that the frequency gap in the optical absorption decreases with Coulomb repulsion strength. Moreover the results show that the local Coulomb interaction leads to the appearance of the excitonic effects in the optical spectrum. Finally the effects of electronic concentration on the frequency behavior of imaginary part of dielectric function have been investigated.

Optical and photocatalytic properties of nanocrystalline TiO2 synthesised by solid-state chemical reaction

Nanoparticulate TiO₂ is of interest for a variety of technological applications, including optically transparent UV-filters and photocatalysts for the destruction of chemical waste. The successful use of nanoparticulate TiO₂ in such applications requires an understanding of how the synthesis conditions effect the optical and photocatalytic properties. In this study, we have investigated the effect of heat treatment temperature on the properties of nanoparticulate TiO₂ powders that were synthesised by solid-state chemical reaction of anhydrous TiOSO₄ with Na₂CO₃. It was found that the photocatalytic activity increased with the heat treatment temperature up to a maximum at 600 °C and thereafter declined. In contrast, the optical transparency decreased monotonically with the heat treatment temperature. These results indicate that solid-state chemical reaction can be used to prepare powders of nanoparticulate TiO₂ with properties that are optimised for use as either optically transparent UV-filters or photocatalysts.     

Analysis of the lateral displacement and optical path difference in wide-field-of-view polarization interference imaging spectrometer

The mechanism of beam splitting and principle of wide-field-of-view compensation of modified Savart polariscope in the wide-field-of-view polarization interference imaging spectrometer (WPIIS) are analyzed and discussed. Formulas for the lateral displacement and optical path difference (OPD) produced by the modified Savart polariscope are derived by ray-tracing method. The theoretical and practical guidance is thereby provided for the study, design, modulation, experiment and engineering of the polarization interference imaging spectrometers and other birefringent Fourier-transform spectrometers based on Savart polariscopes.     

Adaptive detection technique for optical wireless communication over strong turbulence channels

Optical wireless communication (OWC) systems use the atmosphere as a propagation medium, so the atmospheric turbulence effects lead to fading related with signal intensity. The received signal of OWC over strong turbulence channels is assumed to be a mixture of K-distributed fading and Gaussian distributed thermal noise. Second-order spectral analysis is unable to separately estimate the mixed signal. In order to mitigate the fading induced by turbulence, the decision threshold-updating algorithm based on second and higher order cumulants is proposed and is able to operate in an unknown turbulence environment. The performance of the adaptive processing scheme has been evaluated by means of Monte Carlo simulations. Simulation results show the improvement of the bit error rate (BER) performance.
