Frequency stabilization of Nd: YVO4 mini-laser using the third-harmonic detection

Via saturated absorption spectroscopy and the third-harmonic detection technique, the hyperfine spectra of ¹²⁷I₂ near 532 nm have been observed within the tuning range of a mini Nd︰YVO₄-KTP laser. The laser is frequency stabilized against one hyperfine structure (hfs) component of ¹²⁷I₂. The analysis of error signal shows that it is possible to realize a frequency stability of 3.0×10^-13 at 1 s average time.     

Ionization and dissociation of CH<Subscript>2</Subscript>I<Subscript>2</Subscript> and CH<Subscript>2</Subscript>ICl in femtosecond intense field

With the development of ultrafast laser technique,the femtosecond laser electric field is comparable to themolecular field experienced by valence electrons. In thiscase, the classical quantum mechanical theory, based onperturbation theory, becomes inapplicable. Theoreticalunderstanding of the interaction of molecules with intenselaser radiation is quite difficult.

I-doping of anodized TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> nanotubes using an electrochemical method

In order to obtain TiO2 with high photocatalytic activity, a cathode reduction was used to dope I⁷⁺ and I⁵⁺ into TiO₂ nanotubes of anodized Ti in C₂H₂O₄•2H₂O + NH₄F electrolyte. SEM images show that the anodization method integrated the preparation with the doping process, which for nonmetals-doping is advantageous to maintain the morphological integrity of TiO₂ nanotubes. I⁷⁺-I⁵⁺-doping enhances the UV response of TiO₂ and result in a red-shift. Under UV/visible irradiation, a I⁷⁺-I⁵⁺-doped sample (400°C) showed the highest I_ph and photocatalytic efficiency. A part of I^– in the I⁷⁺-I⁵⁺-doped sample is involved in the UV response, the red-shift and the higher I_ph.     

Resistless photochemical etching of a silicon wafer by UV laser with an H<Superscript>2</Superscript>O<Superscript>2</Superscript> and HF aqueous solution

A new resistless etching method has been developed for Silicon wafers. This new method uses an aqueous solution consisting of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and hydrogen fluoride (HF) as the activating etchants. A 193 nm ArF excimer laser and a 266 nm fourth harmonic generation Nd: YAG laser were used as the photon sources. Results showed that pattern etching has been achieved without any photoresist film. In the case of the 193 nm laser, the optimal etching appeared at a 1.3 H₂O₂÷HF ratio, where an etch depth of 210 nm was achieved with a fluence of 29 mJ/cm² and shot number of 10000. At the same conditions, the etch depth with H₂O₂ and HF solution was three times of that by using H₂O and HF mixture. In the case of the 266 nm Nd: YAG laser, the optimal etching appeared at twice ratio of H₂O₂/HF, where the etch depth of 420 nm was achieved with a fluence of 12 mJ/cm² and shot number of 30000. Results showed that the etch effect of the 266 nm Nd: YAG laser was more desirable than that of the 193 nm ArF excimer laser.     

The evolution of molecular wave packet in superstrong laser fields

Summary In this note wc numerically simulate the wave packet evolution of H₂ ⁺ in superstrong laser fields with the multiple electronic-states model. The result is that the evolution process of H₂ ⁺ wave packet is mainly determined by the laser frequency. For the high-frequency fields H₂ ⁺ wave packet extends out of the interaction region step by step. However, the H₂ ⁺ wave packet is quickly dissociated in low-frequency fields. In addition, the molecular stabilization effect can be characterized at the intensity of 8 × 10¹⁵ W/cm² for the low-frequency field ω₁.     

Dissociation of methanol in intense femtosecond laser field

Methanol was irradiated by 80 fs laser pulse, intensity range of 10¹³–10¹⁴ W/cm². A TOF-mass spectrometer was coupled to the laser system and used to detect the ions produced. The parent ions CH₃OH⁺ appeared firstly at the laser intensity of 1.4×10¹³ W/cm². While the laser intensity was gradually increased, the parent ions were dissociated and the primary ions CH₂OH⁺ were given as verified from the irradiation of deuterated methanol (CH₃OD) showing the C—H bond cracking firstly. While the laser intensity was further increased to 2.0 × 10¹³ W/cm², the C—O bonds of the parent ions also broke to give CH₃ ⁺. When the laser intensity was higher, smaller fragment ions like CH⁺, C⁺, OH⁺ and O⁺ also appeared. Among the fragment ions, only H⁺ ion yield had anisotropic angular distribution dependence on the laser polarization vector in the dissociation of methanol. All the experimental observations show that the dissociation of methanol proceeds through stepwise mechanism but not Coulomb explosion.

Thermal damage and ablation behavior of plasma sprayed Ba2SmTaO6 coatings irradiated by high power continuous laser

Ba₂SmTaO₆ laser protection coatings of ≈200 μm thickness were deposited onto stainless steel surfaces by air plasma spraying, and the laser irradiation resistance of the coatings was investigated. For laser irradiation with a laser power density less than 1000 W/cm², the coatings kept intact. For a laser power density exceeding 1500 W/cm², the Ba₂SmTaO₆ coatings underwent recrystallization, grain growth occurred, and certain spray...     

Study on the reaction of carbon disulfide with hydroxyl radical in aqueous solution

Carbon disulfide is an important sulfur-containing compound in the environment, and its oxidation produces about 30% of the atmospheric COS[1]. In situ measure- ments show that CS2 is widespread in the sea surface wa- ters[2―4], and more recently, the continental water seems to be especially rich sources of CS2 due to industrial waste- water effluents. It is generally accepted that the ocean is an important source for atm. CS2, and Xie et al.[5] found that marine photochemical reaction of…

Optical frequency standard based on a single 40Ca+

Research on the development of the optical frequency standard based on trapped and cold 40 Ca+ with the 4s2S1/2-3d2D5/2 clock transition at 729nm is reported. A single calcium ion was trapped and laser cooled in the Paul trap and stay in trap for more than 15 days. The linewidth of a 729nm laser was reduced to less than 10Hz by locking to a cavity for longer than 50 hours uninterruptedly. The overall systematic uncertainty of the clock transition has been characterized to be better than 6.5×10 16 . The absolute frequency of the clock transition was measured at 10 15 level using an optical frequency comb referenced to a Hydrogen maser, which was calibrated to the SI second through the global positioning system (GPS). The frequency value was 411042129776393.0(1.6)Hz after the correction of the systematic shifts.     

Comparison between P25 and anatase-based TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> quasi-solid state dye sensitized solar cells

Pure anatase TiO2 films have been made via hydration of titanium isopropoxide using a sol-gel tech-nique, while mixed TiO2 films which contained both anatase and rutile TiO2 were made from commercial P25 powder. Quasi-solid state dye-sensitized solar cells were fabricated with these two kinds of mesoporous films and a comparison study was carried out. The result showed that the open-circuit photovoltages （Voc） for both kinds of cells were essentially the same, whereas the short-circuit photo-currents （1sc） of the anatase-based cells were about 33% higher than that of the P25-based cells. The highest photocurrent intensity of the anatase-based cell was 6.12 mA/cm^2 and that of the P25-based cell was 4.60 mA/cm^2. Under an illumination with the light intensity of 30 mW/cm^2, the corresponding energy conversion efficiency was measured to be 7.07% and 6.89% for anatase-based cells and P25-based cells, respectively.     

Preparation and upconversion luminescence of YVO<Subscript>4</Subscript>:Er<Subscript>3+</Subscript>, Yb<Subscript>3+</Subscript>

YVO₄:Er³⁺, Yb³⁺ with varying Yb³⁺ concentrations were prepared by a precipitation method. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) show that all the samples have a tetragonal zircon structure; the calculated average crystallite sizes are in the range of 14–22 nm. The lattice constants and cell volume of the samples decrease slightly with the increase in Yb³⁺ concentration. The upconversion luminescence spectra of all the samples were studied under 980 nm laser excitation. The strong green emission is observed, which is attributed to the ²H_11/2 → ⁴I_15/2 and ⁴S_3/2→⁴I_15/2 transitions of Er³⁺, and the red emission peaks in 650–675 nm can be ignored. The emission intensity for the sample depends on the Yb³⁺ concentration. These results reveal that the upconversion processes of YVO₄:Er³⁺, Yb³⁺ are related to the structure and the doping Yb³⁺ concentration of the sample.     

Photo-induced degradation of Ru（Ⅱ） complex absorbed on anatase TiO2 thin film electrode

Photo-induced degradation of a monolayer of Ru（Ⅱ） complex absorbed on anatase TiO2 thin film was studied by using resonant micro-Raman spectroscopy. Under intense light radiation of a laser and in the absence of a reducing agent, the dye decomposed quickly. When the dye-sensitized TiO2 thin film electrode was covered by a reducing agent, namely the I^-/I3^- redox couple, the photo-induced decomposing rate was slowed by a factor of -10^6. In both cases, the dye decomposed with time under an exponential law.

Characterization of Fe3Si-based coatings on low silicon steel by pulsed Nd:YAG laser cladding

The Fe₃Si based coating was produced on the Fe-1 Si steel surface by a pulsed Nd:YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet) laser. Its phase constitution and microstructure were characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscope (OM), and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) with associated energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The hyperfine structure of the coating was studied by Mrssbauer spectra (MS) and the magnetic property was also measured at room temperature by a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The obtained coating is pore and crack-free with dense microstructure and high Si content. The metallurgical bonding between the coating and the substrate was realized. The microstructure of the coating is typical fine dendrites. The major phase was confirmed by XRD and TEM to be the ordering D0₃ structured Fe₃Si phase. In addition, there were smaller amounts of the Fe₅Si₃ phase and the γ-Fe phase in the coating. Compared with the substrate, the laser cladding coating has a lower saturation magnetization and a higher coercive force. The poor magnetic property might be because of rapid solidification microstructure and phase constitution in the coating.     

Investigation on the synthesis mechanism of β-FeSi2 prepared by pulsed laser deposition

The FeSi2 target alloy was fabricated by conventional powder metallurgy technology, and then, β-FeSi2 thin films was successfully prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) were used to characterize the structure, composition, and their changes in the process of β-FeSi2 preparation. In addition, a laser sintering process was also employed to prepare FeSi2 alloy. The analysis of radiation heat transfers in different-sized FeSi2 melt indicates that the cooling rate of the melt depends on the size, i.e., the cooling rate of the micron sized melt is 103 times greater than that of the millimeter-sized melt. The product α-FeSi2 by laser sintering and β-FeSi2 by PLD reveals the different phase transition process in crystallization of milli-meter-sized and micron-sized (or submicron-sized) FeSi2 melt. The results of PLD preparation process shows that β-FeSi2 could be pre-pared through a liquid-phase sintering, followed by a rapid cooling.
