A dual channel sulphur-containing a macrocycle functionalised BODIPY probe for the detection of Hg(II) in a mixed aqueous solution
2018
We report herein the synthesis and chromo-fluorogenic behaviour of a new probe 1 containing a boron-dipirromethene (BODIPY) unit electronically connected with a dithia-dioxa-aza macrocycle. Acetonitrile and water-acetonitrile 95:5 v/v solutions of the probe showed an ICT band in the visible zone and are nearly non-emissive. When acetonitrile was used as solvent, addition of Hg(II) and trivalent metal cations induced an hypsochromic shift of the absorption band and moderate emission enhancements. A highly selective response was obtained when using competitive media such as wateracetonitrile 95:5 v/v. In this case only Hg(II) induced a hypsochromic shift of the absorption band and a marked em…
Optical characterization of nanowires for optoelectronic devices and energy harvesting
2019
This thesis presents a detailed investigation of the optical properties of Bi2Te3, GaN, InN, InP and GaN/AlN nanowires grown by different techniques for their application on future optoelectronic and thermoelectric devices. The thesis also includes a prototype of hybrid solar cell. The outline of the thesis is organized as follows: Chapter 1 presents a bird's eye view of the content of the thesis. Chapter 2 reviews basic notions of epitaxial growth, fundamentals in the synthesis of the nanowires and experimental techniques used for characterization and their underlying theory. Although several characterization techniques are employed in this work, Raman spectroscopy is applied as the major …
Vector FWM in optical fibers: tuning techniques and applications
2022
Recientemente, el efecto no lineal de mezcla de cuatro ondas (FWM) en fibras ópticas ha atraído un gran interés para el desarrollo de nuevas fuentes de luz de fibra óptica debido a la emisión de luz múltiple producida por este efecto no lineal. En los últimos años, estas fuentes de luz basadas en FWM han demostrado una gran utilidad en áreas como la óptica cuántica y la microscopía avanzada basada en efecto Raman. Además, según el estado de polarización de la luz de bombeo responsable del efecto FWM y la birrefringencia de la fibra, la luz producida por FWM puede presentar diferentes propiedades de polarización dada la naturaleza vectorial de FWM. Esto posibilita el diseño y desarrollo de f…
Design of a generic end-to-end mission performance simulator and application to the performance analysis of the FLEX/Sentinel-3 mission
2016
La Observación de la Tierra mediante técnicas de teledetección con instrumentos ópticos en satélite tiene como objetivo monitorizar los procesos bio-geofísicos en la superficie y atmósfera terrestre, adquiriendo datos a diferentes longitudes de onda del espectro electromagnético. Con el fin de asegurar el mantenimiento de las observaciones y las capacidades para entender el sistema Tierra, nuevas misiones satelitales están siendo desarrolladas por agencias espaciales nacionales e internacionales así como organizaciones de investigación. En este contexto, los simuladores de misiones espaciales (E2ES por sus siglas en inglés, End-to-End Mission Performance Simulator) ofrecen a los científicos…
Passive direct measurement of sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence spectrum from in vivo leaves
2022
The fluorescence of chlorophyll in vegetation is a weak signal emitted between 650 and 850 nm that is mixed with the much more intense light reflected by the leaf, which is why active methods are commonly used (through the additional contribution of controlled artificial light) or using indirect measurements instead. So, the measurement is provided just in relative units in the first case, or the accuracy of the estimate in the second case is uncertain without proper direct validation. The Thesis presents a new device, called FluoWat, for passive measurement that allows direct measurement of the fluorescence emission of leaves in vivo under natural conditions in the field with sunlight. And…
