Structural fluctuations in glass-forming liquids: Mössbauer spectroscopy on iron in glycerol.
1991
M\"ossbauer absorption spectra of $^{57}\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}$ dissolved in a glycerol-water mixture have been measured over a wide temperature range (80--275 K). In the supercooled liquid state the shapes of the spectra depend strongly on temperature. The M\"ossbauer spectra can be fit with jump diffusion with a Cole-Davidson distribution of fluctuation times. The results are in agreement with those obtained from dielectric and ultrasonic volume relaxations, proving that the \ensuremath{\alpha} relaxation of viscous liquids is responsible for the line broadening of the spectra. From the temperature dependence of the integrated area of the M\"ossbauer spectrum a second dynamic process is inferre…
The Optical And Epr Spectra of Fe(2+) and Fe(3+) Ions in the Blood of the Chernobyl Clean-Up Worker
2007
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and optical absorption studies of blood were provided for the group of Chernobyl’s NPP accident clean-up workers examined in the Center of Occupational and Radiological medicine of P.Stradins Clinical hospital of Medical Academy of Latvia. The EPR spectra for blood have been studied at low temperature. It is shown that in blood the ion Fe3+ of methemaglobin is in low-spin state with g = 2.3 and in the high spin state with g=6. We observed the additional absorption bands 500 nm (shoulder) and 630 nm in absorption spectra of blood of Chernobyl clean-up worker who has erythrocytosis.
Widely Tunable Polarization Modulation Instability in D2O-Filled Microstructured Optical Fiber
2021
Polarization modulation instability (PMI) is a nonlinear effect in which two pump photons with identical polarization propagating in a nonlinear medium give rise to two new photons of different frequency and orthogonal polarization with respect to the pump photons [1] . In this work, we report the experimental demonstration of broad spectral tuning of PMI generated in solid-core microstructured optical fibers (MOF) that were previously infiltrated with heavy water (D 2 O). MOFs were designed and fabricated with the appropriate dispersion characteristics to produce widely spaced PMI spectral bands when they were filled with D 2 O and pumped at 1064 nm. Heavy water was chosen due to suitable …
Enhanced nonlinear spectral compression in fibre by external sinusoidal phase modulation
2016
International audience; We propose a new, simple approach to enhance the spectral compression process arising from nonlinear pulse propagation in an optical fibre. We numerically show that an additional sinusoidal temporal phase modulation of the pulse enables efficient reduction of the intensity level of the side lobes in the spectrum that are produced by the mismatch between the initial linear negative chirp of the pulse and the self-phase modulation-induced nonlinear positive chirp. Remarkable increase of both the extent of spectrum narrowing and the quality of the compressed spectrum is afforded by the proposed approach across a wide range of experimentally accessible parameters.
Suppression of stimulated Raman scattering in optical fibres by power-controlled multifrequency pumping
1999
International audience; We present a method for suppressing the stimulated Raman scattering process induced by a multifrequency pump field propagating in a normally dispersive single-mode fibre. The suppression process is completely achieved by suitably choosing the frequency separation between the pumps, as well as the power distribution among the frequency components of the pump field. The experimental spectra show the effectiveness of this suppression process for a dual-frequency pumping configuration.
<title>Use of AlN ceramics in ultraviolet radiation dosimetry</title>
2003
AlN-Y2O3 ceramics is studied as a material for application in the area of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) dosimetry. The properties of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and thermally stimulated luminescence (TL) revealed by AlN ceramics are characterized and considered for practical application. A special attention is devoted to studies of the spectral properties of the material, including stimulated luminescence. Spectral properties of the material make it potentially suitable for dosimetric application both in UV-C region (200-290 nm), where it has the maximum sensitivity, and in UV-B+UV-A (290-350 nm) region, where the spectral behavior of its sensitivity coincides rather well with tha…
3D multispectral light propagation model for subcutaneous veins imaging
2008
In this paper, we describe a new 3D light propagation model aimed at understanding the effects of various physiological properties on subcutaneous vein imaging. In particular, we build upon the well known MCML (Monte Carlo Multi Layer) code and present a tissue model that improves upon the current state-of-the-art by: incorporating physiological variation, such as melanin concentration, fat content, and layer thickness; including veins of varying depth and diameter; using curved surfaces from real arm shapes; and modeling the vessel wall interface. We describe our model, present results from the Monte Carlo modeling, and compare these results with those obtained with other Monte Carlo metho…
Free spectral range enlargement by selective suppression of optical modes in photonic crystal L7 microcavities
2015
We show an enlargement in the free spectral range (FSR) of the emission spectra of a L7 photonic crystal microcavity (PCM). The FSR enlargement is achieved by the selective modal suppression of the second cavity mode. The selective suppression is made by introducing two nano-inclusions in specific sites within the defect region that forms the cavity. We have demonstrated the suppression of the second mode of the L7-PCM, and a significant increase in the FSR of the fundamental mode. The method provides an alternative to engineer the modal structure of a photonic crystal microcavity. The large FSR-value might improve the emission properties of light sources based on photonic crystal structure…

Spectroscopic studies of Cr3+ ions in natural single crystal of magnesium aluminate spinel MgAl2O4
2021
Abstract The natural spinel crystal MgAl2O4 containing the Cr3+ ions was studied experimentally and theoretically in this paper. The absorption and emission spectra at room and low temperatures were recorded. The experimental spectroscopic results were aided with the crystal field calculations, which returned the energy level schemes of the Cr3+ ions at the Al sites with the local D3d symmetry. Effects of the trigonal crystal field were clearly seen in the calculated results, which were compared with the experimental spectra to yield a good agreement between both data sets.
