A Semiconductor Laser of the Visible Range as an Exciting Source of Raman Scattering

A possibility of application of semiconductor lasers of the visible range as exciting sources for Raman spectroscopy is studied. An experimental set-up for measuring Raman spectra of polycrystalline dielectrics and broad-gap semiconductors excited by a semiconductor laser with a wavelength of 640 nm was created. The conditions under which the spectral width of the lasing line of a semiconductor laser was within 10^-3 cm^-1 in the continuous mode with a power of 10 mW are realized. The characteristics of various types of exciting sources used in Raman spectroscopy are compared. The results of studies of the characteristic Raman spectra excited with a semiconductor laser in polycrystalline sulfur are presented.     

Does the beam width affect the generalized M factor of hard-edged diffracted beams?

A detailed study of the generalized M² factor of hard-edged diffracted beams based on the truncated second-order moments method, asymptotic analysis and self-convergent beam width approach is performed. The dependence of the generalized M² factor on the parameters characterizing the spatial profile, and beam truncation, etc. is analyzed.     

Bodies of constant width in arbitrary dimension

We give a number of characterizations of bodies of constant width in arbitrary dimension. As an application, we describe a way to construct a body of constant width in dimension n, one of its (n – 1)‐dimensional projection being given. We give a number of examples, like a four‐dimensional body of constant width whose 3D‐projection is the classical Meissner's body. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Probabilistic and Average Linear Widths of Sobolev Space with Gaussian Measure in L \infty-Norm

In this paper we investigate the probabilistic linear $(n,\delta)$-widths and $p$-average linear $n$-widths of the Sobolev space $W^r_2$ equipped with the Gaussian measure $\mu$ in the $L_{\infty}$-norm, and determine the asymptotic equalities \begin{eqnarray*} \lambda_{n,\delta}(W^r_2,\mu,L_{\infty}) &\asymp&\frac{\sqrt{\ln (n/\delta)}}{n^{r+(s-1)/2}},\\[3pt] \lambda^{(a)}_n(W^r_2,\mu,L_{\infty})_p &\asymp&\frac{\sqrt{\ln n}}{n^{r+(s-1)/2}}, \qquad 0 < p < \infty. \end{eqnarray*}     

微槽道内气体流动特性的实验研究

搭建了微槽道的单相实验台,分析了氮气在不同深／宽比、长径比及水力直径的微槽道中流动特性。层流区的摩擦常数与理论预测值吻合较好（除L=20mm工况）,层流到湍流的转捩均有不同程度的提前（转捩Re数在1000左右）;在湍流区,槽道的长径比变小、相对粗糙度的增大（或水力直径的减小）及长度的减小可使流动阻力增大;拟合出了湍流区...     

小信号脉冲抽运时掺铒光纤自发辐射的研究

自发辐射(ASE)是掺铒光纤放大器(EDFA)的重要噪声源,对于由EDFA构成的光纤激光器有重要影响。理论与实践证明,它与抽运方式紧密相关,所以研究脉冲抽运时掺铒光纤(EDF)的自发辐射有重要的学术价值。同时,脉冲抽运对于EDFA锁模激光器的研究也有一定意义。从理论和实验两方面研究了小信号脉冲抽运时,抽运脉冲宽度和幅度对于EDF的自发辐射特性的影响,得到了小信号抽运时输出ASE噪声平均值的近似解析解。研究发现,小信号脉冲抽运时输出信号的幅度与抽运脉冲的宽度成正比。这个新现象可用于脉冲宽度的全光检测。

Ultrasound-assisted crystallization (sonocrystallization)

The positive influence of ultrasound (US) on crystallization processes is shown by the dramatic reduction of the induction period, supersaturation conditions and metastable zone width. Manipulation of this influence can be achieved by changing US-related variables such as frequency, intensity, power and even geometrical characteristics of the ultrasonic device (e.g. horn type size). The volume of the sonicated solution and irradiation time are also variables to be optimized in a case-by-case basis as the mechanisms of US action on crystallization remain to be established. Nevertheless, the results obtained so far make foreseeable that crystal size distribution, and even crystal shape, can be ‘tailored’ by appropriate selection of the sonication conditions.     

Relaxation dynamics and fragility during liquid–glass transitions of poly(propylene glycol)s

The acoustic and thermal properties of the liquid–glass transitions of propylene glycol and its oligomers, poly (propylene glycol)s, were studied by temperature modulated DSC and Brillouin scattering. The fragility indices were determined from Angell plots using the observed modulation frequency dependence of the complex heat capacity. The variation in the glass transition temperatures is discussed on the basis of the free volume theory. The relaxation time of the structural relaxation obeys the Vogel–Fulcher law, and its high frequency end is in good agreement with the result of the dielectric measurement in the literature. The correlation between the observed thermal expansion coefficients and the glass transition temperature is discussed based on the free volume theory. The sound velocity and attenuation were accurately determined as a function of the temperature by Brillouin scattering by combination with the refractive index measurement. The relaxation dynamics were discussed by considering the relaxation from segmental motions. All of these physical properties were discussed based on the third-order anharmonicity and the Grüneisen parameter.
