Investigations of As-S-Se thin films for use as inorganic photoresist for digital image-matrix holography
2011
AbstractAs-S-Se chalcogenide thin films are successfully employed in classical and dot-matrix holography as inorganic photoresists for obtaining a relief-phase hologram. However using these films for image-matrix hologram recording has not been studied due to some features of image-matrix technology. For the applied research of the optical properties of As-S-Se films an experimental device of digital image-matrix holographic recording based on 100 mW 405 nm semi-conductor laser and Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) has been created. The device has the following main parameters: 140 × 105 µm frame size; laser intensity during exposure 10 W/cm2. With the help of this device diffraction grating an…
Photorefractive and photochromic effects in Sn2P2S6 at various temperatures
2013
Abstract Photochromic effect in nominally pure and doped Sn 2 P 2 S 6 photorefractive crystals is investigated in the temperature range 120–310 K. This effect determines a mechanism of the amplitude hologram formation at low temperatures, and we show that a competition between the photorefractive (phase) and the amplitude gratings occurs at increasing temperature.
Photoinduced mass transport in low molecular organic glasses and its practical application in holography
2015
Abstract In this paper we present the synthesis and optical properties of amorphous low molecular compound 4-((4-(bis(5,5,5-Triphenylpentyl)amino)phenyl)diazenyl)benzoic acid. The surface relief gratings formation by polarization holography method on these thin films (thicknesses are 200–1700 nm) was shown. The dependence of the surface relief modulation on various parameters: recording exposure dose, the polarization state of the recording beams, the grating period and the film thickness of the material was demonstrated. Values of surface tension at the air-film before and after irradiation of the substance by polarized radiation were measured. The efficiency of surface relief formation in…
Raman Studies of Photorefractive Lithium Niobate Single Crystals
2014
A study of Raman spectra of lithium niobate single crystals: stoichiometric, ostensibly pure congruent LiNbO3, and congruent LiNbO3 containing admixture of yttrium is reported. Raman bands observed in spectra excited by visible laser radiation are thoroughly compared to the same bands excited by infrared laser radiation. The broadening of Raman bands excited by radiation of shorter wavelengths is attributed to photo-refraction induced by visible radiation (514 nm) while being absent under infrared radiation (1064 nm). Attributing the effect of photo-refraction to radiation-induced structural changes in the illuminated part of the crystal lattice the authors interpret the observed broadening…
Infrared microspectroscopy of biochemical response of living cells in microfabricated devices
2010
Abstract First experiments demonstrating the suitability of novel microfabricated fluidic devices for measuring living cells in physiological environment by synchrotron radiation (SR) Fourier Transform Infrared microspectroscopy (μ-FTIR) are presented. The devices were fabricated on CaF 2 windows, using the photoresist XARP 3100/10 to define the liquid cell lay-out. Therefore, the sample holder is transparent to both visible and infrared light, robust, completely recyclable and with a precise spacing. Using prototype devices of thicknesses 9, 5 and 3 μm, we studied the response of the U937 monocytic cell line to mechanical compression. The temporal evolution of the FTIR spectra, characteris…
Kinetics of Photorefractive Light Scattering in Stoichiometric LiNbO3Single Crystals Grown from Melt Containing 58.6 Mole% of Li2O
2011
A study of kinetics of photo-refractive light scattering in ostensibly pure stoichiometric LiNbO3 (Li/Nb = 1) single crystal grown from melt containing 58.6 mole% Li2O excited by laser radiation of 0.53 μm is reported. Asymmetry of the distribution of scattered light intensity is revealed and found to be a linear function of the intensity of the exciting radiation in the 35–160 mW range. Due to heating of the crystal, at farther increase of the radiation intensity the distribution of scattered light contracts.
Structural and Optical Homogeneity in Lithium Niobate Crystals of Low Photorefractivity
2015
Comprehensive studies by Raman and photo-induced light scattering complemented by laser conoscopy and electron spectroscopy of structural and optical homogeneity of nominally pure and modified lithium niobate crystals are reported.
Manipulation of fast light using photorefractive beam fanning
2014
Light pulse group velocity manipulations due to the specific dispersion of a medium (so-called “slow” and “fast” light phenomena) can be obtained on the basis of several mechanisms. One of these techniques is two-wave mixing in a photorefractive crystal. This work presents a modification of this method, exploiting the strong beam fanning in Sb-doped Sn2P2S6 crystals. Our experimental results demonstrate a “fast light” behavior of Gaussian pulses transmitted through a Sn2P2S6:Sb sample. The phenomenon is due to the beam fanning (i.e., the self-diffraction of the incident beam on self-induced noisy photorefractive gratings) that ensures a significant depletion of the input beam. Due to the re…
Surface Periodic Poling in Lithium Niobate and Lithium Tantalate
2005
Periodic Poling of Lithium Niobate crystals (PPLN) by means of electric field has revealed the best technique for finely tailoring PPLN structures and parameters, which play a central role in many current researches in the field of nonlinear integrated optics. Besides the most studied technique of bulk poling, recently a novel technique where domain inversion occurs just in a surface layer using photoresist or silica masks has been devised and studied. This surface periodic poling (SPP) approach is best suited when light is confined in a thin surface guiding layer or stripe, as in the case of optical waveguide devices. Also, we found that SPP respect to bulk poling offers two orders of magn…
Inkjet Printable ZnO/PEDOT:PSS Heterojunction for Thin Flexible Semi-Transparent Optoelectronic Sensors
2020
International audience; Flexible sensors play an increasing role in printed electronics and are of interest for optoelectronic applications in flexible robotics and industrial automation. Thus, we have investigated the hybrid inorganic-organic junction between ZnO and PEDOT:PSS (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate). A thin ITO (indium tin oxide) layer on PET (polyethylene terephthalate) foils was used as substrate electrode. ZnO was deposited from a nanoparticle (NP) suspension by electrophoretic deposition. For comparison, we have used three different methods for the deposition of PEDOT:PSS, namely (i) drop casting, (ii) dip-coating, (iii) inkjet printing. For the result…
