Spectroscopic properties of Yb~(3+)-doped TeO_2–BaO–BaF_2–Nb_2O_5-based oxyfluoride tellurite glasses

A series of oxyfluoride glasses with the compositions of 75 mol% TeO2, 10 mol% Nb2O5,(15 mol%-x) BaO, x BaF2(x = 0 mol%, 5 mol%, 10 mol%, 15 mol%) doped with Yb2O3 were prepared by the melt-quenching method. Their emission cross-sections, fluorescence lifetimes, and gain properties were investigated by using the absorption spectra and the fluorescence decay curves. The results show that by substituting BaF2 for BaO, the emission cross-section decreases from 1.37 pm2 to 1.21 pm2, and the fluorescence lifetime increases from 0.71 ms to 0.96 ms. These properties indicate that this oxyfluoride tellurite glass may have potential uses as the Yb2O3-doped gain medium in a solid laser.     

Spectroscopic properties and mechanism of Tm^3＋/Er^3＋/Yb^3＋ co-doped oxyfluorogermanate glass ceramics containing BaF2 nanocrystals

Transparent Tm^3＋/Er^3＋/yb^3＋ co-doped oxyfluorogermanate glass ceramics containing BaF2 nanocrystals are prepared. Under excitation of a 980-nm laser diode （LD）, compared with the glass before heat treatment, the Tm^3＋/Er^3＋/yb^3＋ co-doped oxyfluorogermanate glass ceramics can emit intense blue, green and red up-conversion luminescence and Stark- split peaks; X-ray diffraction （XRD） and transmission electron microscope （TEM） results show that BaF2 nanocrystals with an average diameter of 20 nm are precipitated from the glass matrix. Stark splitting of the up-conversion luminescence peaks in the glass ceramics indicates that Tm^3＋, Er^3＋ and （or） Yb^3＋ ions are incorporated into the BaF2 nanocrystals. The up-conversion luminescence intensities of Tm^3＋, Er^3＋ and the splitting degree of luminescence peaks in the glass ceramics increase significantly with the increase of heat treat temperature and heat treat time extension. In addition, the possible energy transfer process between rare earth ions and the up-conversion luminescence mechanism are also proposed.     

Optimizing Design for the Traveling Wave Electrodes in Low-Drive High-Speed Electro-Optic Polymer Modulators

Electro-optic (EO) polymer modulators are very promising in the realization of cost-effective and high-performance optical transmissions. In this article, general strategies and specific designs of the traveling wave electrodes in EO polymer modulators were presented to reduce the modulator drive power while maintaining a broadband response. The optimum device parameters and corresponding conditions were estimated using finite element method based on electrode design. In calculating the results, the comprehensive characteristics of polymer modulator with 1.21 V half-wave voltage and 91 GHz bandwidth was demonstrated with electro-optic interaction length is 20 mm, electro-optic coefficient is 55 pm/V, and operation wavelength is 1.319 μm. These results agree with the 0.8 V half-wave voltage and 30 mm electro-optic interaction length reported in Science. In the five designs presented, a hybrid electrode structure combining CPW and microstrip lines were advanced. The characteristics of this structure are like that of microstrip lines with a single-arm electrode on one arm of the waveguide, but it solves the problem of microstrip to coaxial line transition and corona polarization.     

Controlling Surface Interactions with Grafted Polymers

The interactions between surfaces modified with grafted polymers is studied theoretically. The aim of this work is to find polymer surface modifications that will result in localized attractive interactions between the surfaces. The practical motivation of the work is to find means to control the distance between bilayers and solid supports in supported membranes. Two theoretical approaches are used, the analytical treatment of Alexander and a molecular theory. It is found that grafting each end of the polymer to each surface results in an interaction with a well defined minimum. The location of the minima is found to be very close to the thickness of the polymer layer when the chains are grafted to only one of the surfaces. The predictions of the analytical theory are in excellent agreement with the molecular approach in this case. It is found that increasing the surface coverage increases the strength of the interaction. However, increasing the polymer chain length at fixed surface coverage results in a decrease of the free energy cost associated with separating the surfaces from their optimal distance. For the cases in which grafting to both surfaces is not possible, the molecular theory is used to study the effect of functionalizing segments of the chain to achieve an attractive well. It is found that by functionalizing the free end-groups of the polymers with segments attracted to the membrane, the range of the attractive interaction is significantly larger than the thickness of the unperturbed layer. Functionlizing the middle segments of the chains results in a shorter range attraction but of the same strength as in the end-functionalized layers. The optimal polymer modification is found to be such that the functionlized groups are attracted to the bare surface but are not attracted to the grafting surface. The relevance of the results to the design of experimental surface modifiers is discussed.

使用快速烧结和溶胶-凝胶方法制备了Bi(Fe_1-xMnx)O₃的块材陶瓷,其x能够达到0.3,因而可以得到较细的粉末. 经X射线衍射谱和拉曼光谱研究发现其结构转变取决于锰的掺杂浓度. 当x=0.05和0.1时,Bi(Fe_1-xMnx)O₃的结构保持斜方六面体结构;当x=0.3时,Bi(Fe_1-xMnx)O₃的结构变化到正方六面体结构.在x=0.05和0.1时观测到弱铁磁性,但在x=0.3时观测到强顺磁性. 这显示了Bi(Fe_1-xMnx)O₃从反铁磁性到顺磁性的磁相变,同时也表明其结构从R3C变化到C222. 在30和140 K, x=0.05和0.1时,观察到Bi(Fe_1-xMnx)O₃的两个反常现象. 在30 K时,直流磁记忆和缓慢测量Bi(Fe_1-xMnx)O₃团族的反常现象与冷冻的旋转玻璃系统有关.     

Synthesis and Characterization of a Novel Self-colored Fluorescent Polycarbonate Urethane based on the 1,8-Naphthalimide Group

Abstract

The synthesis of a novel self-colored polyurethane (PU) is described using 4-amino-N-propanoic acid-1,8-naphthalimide dye. To synthesize the self- colored PU, the dye was added to the PU prepolymer at the chain extension step. PU and self-colored PU were characterized by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-visible spectroscopy and Fluorometry. The thermal behavior of the PU and self-colored PU were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The spectra indicated that the addition of dye to the polymer chain did not affect the glass transition temperature (T_g?=?-39?°C). Tensile strengths and Young’s modulus of the samples were assessed using a tensile strength test; they revealed that addition of the dye to the polymer structure enhanced the Young’s modulus and increased the mechanical strength of the PU. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used for evaluation of the crystal phase of the polymer; it revealed that both components were amorphous.
