Spectral Characteristics of Miniature Two-Longitudinal-Mode Optically Pumped FIR Laser

With the assumption that the pump source was two-longitudinal-mode, the semiclassical density matrix equation of a three-energy-level system was solved. By means of iteration method, the spectral characteristics of miniature two-longitudinal-mode optically pumped NH₃ far-infrared cavity laser, which was pumped by CO₂-9R(16) line, were calculated numerically. The influences of operating parameters on laser spectrum were studied intensively.     

Assignment of laser lines in an optically pumped submillimeter and near millimeter laser: (H2CO)3

A large number of emissions is obtained in the submillimeter and near millimeter range with the (H₂CO)₃ laser optically pumped by a CO₂ laser. A study of the microwave absorption spectrum of the molecule carried out simultaneously with the submm analysis allows us to assign six of the laser lines in thev ₅ excited state of the molecule and to determine the rotational constants and vibrational energy ofv ₅.

Surface Plasmon Enhanced Vibrational Spectra of Monolayer Assemblies on Gratings and Rough Metal Surfaces

The vibrational spectra of monolayer assemblies of cadmium arachidate on smooth and rough silver substrates were obtained by surface infrared and surface plasmon enhanced Raman spectroscopy. The assemblies were laid down by the Langmuir-Blodgett deposition technique. For Raman scattering the intensity of the incident light was enhanced by grating coupling to surface plasmon optical modes of the metal or to localized plasmon modes in the case of rough surfaces. It was found that the different vibrational frequency regions corresponding, for example, to C-C and C-H stretching modes, were enhanced by selecting different scattering angles for collecting the inelastically scattered light. The Raman spectra of monolayer assemblies in contact with silver islands showed evidence of conformational disorder, i.e., the alkyl chains of some molecules were not in the all-trans configuration. In contrast, the infrared spectra did not show evidence of similar disorder. These observations were explained by assuming that the infrared photons sensed the majority undistorted molecular species, while the Raman photons came from a distorted minority species located in regions where optical electromagnetic fields were enhanced by shape plasmon resonances of the rough silver surface.     

Investigation of regeneration effect of blue luminescence in NaCl using variable delay optically stimulated luminescence (VD-OSL)

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) of pure analytical sodium chloride (NaCl) was studied. Performing series of CW-OSL (continuous wave OSL) readouts it was found that subsequent CW-OSL decay, after some delay, starts from significantly higher intensity level than the final intensity of the previous readout. To study this ‘regeneration effect’ a new type of measurements was implemented – the variable delay OSL (VD-OSL) method. The idea of VD-OSL is explained – it allows to study OSL kinetics at very long time scale. VD-OSL data confirm coexistence of two effects in NaCl – regeneration and fading of the OSL signal. After partial CW-OSL readout, regeneration predominates in the short time scale of the order of 10³ s. Then, fading becomes dominant. The same measurements were applied to commonly used Al₂O₃:C material as well. Nevertheless, the results do not show such behavior at the studied time scale. Theoretical arguments are presented that the regeneration mechanism cannot be explained on the basis of the simple trap model.     

A study on the real-time radiation dosimetry measurement system based on optically stimulated luminescence

The optically stimulated luminescent (OSL) radiation dosimeter technically surveys a wide dynamic measurement range and a high sensitivity. Optical fiber dosimeters provide capability for remote monitoring of the radiation in the locations which are difficult-to-access and hazardous. In addition, optical fiber dosimeters are immune to electrical and radio-frequency interference. In this paper, a novel remote optical fiber radiation dosimeter is described. The optical fiber dosimeter takes advantage of the charge trapping materials CaS:Ce, Sm that exhibit OSL. The measuring range of the dosimeter is from 0.1 to 100 Gy.     

Thermoluminescence and optically stimulated luminescence in various phases of doped Na2SO4

The dependence of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and thermoluminescence (TL) response due to crystal phase in Cu and Cu,Mg-doped Na₂SO₄ was studied. Study shows that the slowly cooled samples which crystallize in phase V show good OSL sensitivity whereas the quenched samples of Na₂SO₄ which crystallize in phase III irrespective of doping show no OSL sensitivity. However, during storage when phase III samples get converted to phase V, samples show OSL sensitivity comparable to freshly prepared samples in phase V. Hence, it is observed that TL–OSL properties of doped Na₂SO₄ are phase dependent .This study will be helpful in developing OSL phosphors in which phase plays an important role in deciding the desired properties.     

Asymmetric synthesis of α-substituted alkylphosphonates based on symmetrical dialkyl phosphites

Chiral C₂-symmetrical dialkyl phosphites and C₃-symmetrical trialkyl phosphites, derived from (−)-borneol, (−)-menthol, and 1,2∶5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-d-glucofuranose, were studied as the starting reagents for the preparation of chiral organophosphorus compounds. The reactions of C₂-symmetrical dialkyl phosphites and C₃-symmetrical trialkyl phosphites with aldehydes and amines or aldehydes are accompanied by asymmetrical induction at the α-carbon atom to yield optically active α-aminoalkylphosphanates or α-hydroxyalkylphosphonates, respectively. The stereoselectivity of the reaction depends on the structure of the starting compounds and the reaction conditions.

Study on Stark Effect in Optically Pumped Far-Infrared Laser

The output intensity of optically pumped NH3 molecules far-infrared laser (NH3-OPFIRL) was calculated by solving the density matrix equation and by means of iteration method. Meanwhile, the spectral characteristic of AC Stark splitting was studied. Finally, the F-P interferogram of NH3-OPFIRL pumped by CO2-10R(8) line was measured. The experimental results were in good agreement with the theoretical calculation results.     

Asymmetric anionic polymerization of maleimides bearing bulky substituents

Asymmetric anionic homopolymerizations of N‐substituted maleimide (RMI) bearing bulky substituents [R = benzyl, diphenylmethyl (DPhMI), 9‐fluorenyl (9‐FlMI), triphenylmethyl, (diphenylmethyloxycarbonyl)methyl, (9‐fluorenyloxycarbonyl)methyl] were carried out with complexes of organometal compounds (alkyllithium, diethylzinc) with six chiral ligands to obtain optically active polymers. The chiroptical properties of the polymers were affected strongly by the substituents on nitrogen in the maleimide ring, the organometal and chiral ligands. Poly(DPhMI) initiated by an n‐butyllithium/(−)‐sparteine (Sp) complex showed a positive specific rotation ([α] +60.3°). Poly(9‐FlMI) prepared with a florenyllithium/Sp complex exhibited the highest specific rotation (+65.7°). The specific rotations of the poly(RMI) obtained were attributed to different contents between the stereogenic centers (S,S) and (R,R) based on threo‐diisotactic structures of the main chain. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
