Validation of a two-dimensional modeling of an externally irradiated slurry photoreactor
2015
Abstract A two-dimensional model describing the behavior of a batch cylindrical photoreactor has been validated through a series of photocatalytic reactivity runs. The light intensity radiation field produced by 1–6 external UV fluorescent lamps was modeled together with Langmuir–Hinshelwood kinetics and 4-nitrophenol (NP) and Degussa P25 TiO 2 were used as the probe molecule and the catalyst, respectively. The experiments were carried out under different conditions of light intensity, photocatalyst amount and substrate concentration. The model parameters were the kinetic constant of substrate adsorption, desorption and degradation and the exponent of the power law expressing the kinetics d…
The Molecular Analysis of the Light Adaptation Reactions in the Yellow‐green Alga Pleurochloris meiringensis (Xanthophyceae)
1988
The xanthophycean alga Pleurochloris meiringensis was homocontinuously cultured under high light (16 W/m2) and low light (2 W/m2) conditions. In low light cells, the chlorophyll a content and the dry weight on per cell basis is increased, the maximal photosynthetic capacity per chlorophyll is decreased. The content of chlorophyll c, vaucheriaxanthin-ester and heteroxanthin is similar in both cultures, whereas the content of diadinoxanthin and s-carotene is twice as high in high light cultures. High light cells contain more photosystem I and cytochrome f per chlorophyll than low light cells, whereas the QB content is found to be unchanged. Therefore, the ratio reaction center II/reaction cen…
Dynamic Stark effect action on optical pumping of atoms in an external magnetic field
1992
Abstract The influence of the dynamic Stark effect on the optical pumping of atoms in a magnetic field, using the broad band approximation, is examined. It is demonstrated that the dynamic Stark effect can lead to a nonlinear effect on the light intensity conversion of alignment produced by linearly polarized light in the orientation of the angular momentum of atoms.
Evidence for degenerate mirrorless lasing in alkali metal vapor: forward beam magneto-optical experiment
2018
We report an experimental observation of degenerate mirrorless lasing in forward direction under excitation of a dilute atomic Rb vapor with a single linearly polarized cw laser light resonant with cycling Fe > Fg atomic D2 transitions. Light polarized orthogonally to the laser light is generated for the input light intensity exceeding a threshold value of about 3 mW/cm^2. Application of a transverse magnetic field directed along the input light polarization reveals a sharp about 20 mG wide magnetic resonance centered at B = 0. Increasing the incident light intensity from 3 to 300 mW/cm^2, the generated light undergoes rapid amplitude increase followed by a decline and resonance broadeni…
Absorbing anisotropic and gyrotropic slab between crossed polarizers in parallel light
1980
When a birefringent slab is rotated between two crossed polarizers, the four maxima and four minima of the transmitted intensity occur, as known, at every π/4 radians. If the slab is also optically active, the maxima and minima are arranged in other patterns that may be grouped according to the number of extrema met in one complete turn of the slab: four or eight. All the possible patterns are classified and each is related to some peculiarity of the complex refractive index of the slab.
Modeling of the photorefractive nonlinear response in Sn_2P_2S_6 crystals
2007
We develop a theory of the photorefractive nonlinear response for Sn2P2S6 crystals. The theory incorporates two types of charge carrier (optically active and passive), provides explicit expressions for the characteristic buildup-relaxation rates and gain factors, explains naturally a big variety of accumulated experimental data, and facilitates characterization-optimization of this important nonlinear material.
Analysis of photon-scanning tunneling microscope images of inhomogeneous samples: determination of the local refractive index of channel waveguides
1995
Channel waveguides are imaged by a photon-scanning tunneling microscope (PSTM). The polarization of the light and its orientation with respect to the guide axis are shown to be very important parameters in the analysis of the images of such samples. We simulated image formation for the plane of incidence parallel to the axis of the guide. Our theoretical results are qualitatively in agreement with our measurements. These results show the ability of the PSTM to give information about the local refractive-index variations of a sample.
PERANCANGAN ALAT UKUR INTENSITAS CAHAYA BERBASIS ARDUINO LEONARDO MENGGUNAKAN SENSOR LDR (Light Dependent Resistor)
2020
Lux meter is a device used to measure the intensity of light in an area. The purpose of this thesis is to design a light intensity measuring device using LDR components as a light sensor, comparing light intensity measuring devices made using LDR sensors and Arduino Leonardo based microcontrollers with standard tools. The data used in this study are primary data. The data obtained is then processed using MS. Excel. The type of light bulbs used are Philips CFL (Philips Essential) lamps, each lamp having a power of 5, 8, 11, 14, 18, 23, 27, 32, 35, and 50 watts with a luxmeter vertical distance of 1, 2 and 3 meters from the lamp.

Two frequency oscillation of a photorefractive oscillator as a perturbation of the mirrorless oscillation
2010
We consider the properties of the non-degenerate two frequency regime of oscillation of the semi-linear photorefractive oscillator and analyze its relation with the mirrorless oscillation. We consider the oscillator with or without a frequency shifted feedback by a vibrating mirror. This study shows that these two apparently different phenomena are closely related. We conclude from the obtained results that the two frequency oscillation can be considered as a perturbation of the mirrorless oscillation.
Computational imaging with single-pixel detection: Applications in scattering media
2014
We describe computational imaging techniques based on single-pixel detection providing multidimensional information of an input scene. The key element of the optical recording stage is a spatial light modulator which sequentially generates a set of intensity light patterns to sample the scene. In this way, it is possible to use single-pixel detectors to measure different optical parameters such as the light intensity, the spectral content, the polarization state, or the phase. The spatial distribution of these parameters is then computed by applying the theory of compressive sampling. In particular, in this contribution we present a new method to transmit images through scattering media. We…
