4W continuous-wave narrow-linewidth tunable solid-state laser source at 546nm by externally frequency doubling a ytterbium-doped single-mode fiber la…
2009
A high-power continuous-wave coherent light source at 545.5nm is described. We use 8.3W from a solid-state ytterbium-doped single-mode fiber oscillator/amplifier system as input into an external frequency doubling stage. This system produces up to 4.1 W of stable green single-frequency laser radiation. We characterize the light source by performing absorption spectroscopy on iodine across the full tuning range of the fiber laser and saturation spectroscopy on one strong iodine line of the doppler-broadened spectrum.
Time‐resolved absorption and luminescence following electron‐hole pair creation in ZnO
2008
We report transient absorption induced by electron-hole excitation in undoped ZnO. A laser pump/continuum probe method covers 2–300 ps, and an electron pulse with lamp transmission covers 8–300 ns. The broad absorption spectrum increases monotonically with wavelength from 900 to 1600 nm. Following a reasonable hypothesis that the free-carrier-like induced infrared absorption is proportional to the total number of free carriers, excitons, and shallow-trapped carriers in the sample, these data allow setting an upper limit on the quantum efficiency of a specified lifetime component of luminescence. For the undoped commercial ZnO studied in this report, the quantum efficiency of room temperatur…
The nanoscale structure of the Pt-water double layer under bias revealed
2019
The nanoscopic mass and charge distribution within the double layer at electrified interfaces plays a key role in electrochemical phenomena of huge technological relevance for energy production and conversion. However, in spite of its importance, the nanoscopic structure of the double layer and its response to an applied potential is still almost entirely unknown, even for Pt-water, the most fundamental electrochemical interface. Using a general ab initio methodology which advances previous models towards a dynamic and more realistic description of an electrode/electrolyte interface, we simulate for the first time the nanoscopic structure of the Pt-water double layer and its response to an …
Electrochemical reduction of graphene oxide and its in situ spectroelectrochemical characterization
2012
The electrochemical properties of self-assembled films of graphene oxide (GO) on mercaptoethylamine (MEA) modified rough Au-surfaces were studied. The film deposition process on MEA primed gold was followed by surface plasmon resonance measurements and the film morphology on 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane primed Si(100)-surface was studied by atomic force microscopy. The deposited few layer thick GO films on gold were electrochemically reduced by cyclic voltammetry simultaneously as the structural changes in the film were recorded by in situ vibrational spectroscopies. In situ surface enhanced infrared spectroscopy results indicate that the effect of the applied potential on the GO structure …
Studies of monolayer/substrate adhesion as function of the monolayer headgroup charge: DMPE and DMPA
1991
The variation of the work of adhesion between lipid monolayers and a plane silicon oxide surface in a typical LB-configuration is measured as function of the subphase pH. The adhesion energy is deduced via fluorescence microscopy from the equilibrium meniscus height. With increasing pH the negative headgroup charge of both, dimyristoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DMPE) and dimyristoylphosphatidic acid (DMPA) monolayers increases. The increasing charge of DMPE is reflected in a measured decrease of the work of adhesion at higher pH. The DMPA/SiO2 interaction is not affected by increasing headgroup charges. These results are qualitatively understood in terms of an electrostatic double layer inte…
Substituent-induced coupling of the two lowest excited singlet states of 2-methoxy-derivatives of 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)- and 4-(N-methylamino)benzoni…
2002
The title compounds both exhibit strong features of interaction of their two lowest excited states, but only one of them, the dimethylamino derivative, exhibits dual fluorescence. This is a direct indication that state interaction and dual fluorescence are not directly related.
Very narrow-bandwidth tunable infrared difference frequency generation with injection-locked dye lasers
1989
Two flashlamp pumped dye lasers of very high spectral quality are mixed in a LiIO3 crystal to generate a tunable infrared beam through the difference frequency mixing. Thanks to the injection-locking process of the pulsed dye lasers leading to a linewidth of 6 MHz with peak powers of about 10 kW, we obtain an IR beam tunable from 3.5 to 5.9 μm with a peak power of 40 W and a linewidth of 9 MHz. As an application we present a spectrum of N2O obtained by differential absorption near 1880 cm−1. The lines of thisQ-branch are Doppler limited at the working pressure (102 Pa).
Random Laser Based on TiO2–Nanomembranes
2012
We demonstrated directional random laser emission from a dye-doped polymer film in the presence of a scattering medium consisting of TiO 2 nanomembranes. Evidence for coexistence of extended and localized modes are presented.
Sealing capacity of a photochromatic flowable composite as protective base in nonvital dental bleaching.
2006
Aim To evaluate microleakage of a flowable composite used as a protective isolating base, applied with different adhesive systems. Methodology Seventy root-filled teeth were divided into seven groups. A flowable composite base (Tetric Flow Chroma) was used with three adhesive techniques (Syntac, Excite, Excite DCS; in the three cases with and without acid etching) and in a control group without dentine conditioning or adhesive placement. A 30% hydrogen peroxide solution was applied for 24 h in the pulp chambers, followed by the placement of a dye (silver nitrate) for 4 h. Each tooth was sectioned longitudinally, and examined under 4× magnification to assess the tooth/restoration dye leaka…
An In Vitro Stereomicroscopic Evaluation of Bioactivity between Neo MTA Plus, Pro Root MTA, BIODENTINE & Glass Ionomer Cement Using Dye Penetrati…
2021
The ideal root end filling material should form a tight seal in the root canal by adhering to the cavity walls. Several materials have been used for root end filling. The present study aims to find out and compare the bioactivity of Neo MTA Plus, Pro Root MTA White, BIODENTINE & glass ionomer cement as root end filling materials using 1% methylene blue as tracer. Materials and methods: 80 extracted human permanent maxillary anterior teeth were used in the study. They were divided into four groups. Specimens were sectioned transversely in the cervical area to separate the crown from the root. The root canal was obturated with gutta percha and zinc oxide eugenol sealers. Thereafter, each …
