In this work we developed a setup to measure the speed of sound in gases using a laser ultrasonics system. The mentioned setup is an all optical system composed by a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser to generate the sound waves, and a fiber optical microphone to detect them. The Nd:YAG provided a laser pulse of approximately 420 mJ energy and 9 ns of pulse width, at the wavelength of 1064 nm. The pulsed laser beam, focused by a positive lens, was used to generate an electrical breakdown (in the gas) which, in turn, generates an sound wave that traveled through a determined distance and reached the fiber optical microphone. The resulting signal was acquired in an oscilloscope and the time difference between the optical pulse and the arrival of the sound waves was used to calculate the speed of sound, since the distance was known. The system was initially tested to measure the speed of sound in air, at room pressure and temperature and it presented results in agreement with the theory, showing to be suitable to measure the speed of sound in gases. © 2012 American Institute of Physics.

A novel method of preparation of the Si nanoparticles (NPs) incorporated in tellurite TeO2-WO3-Bi2O3 (TWB) thin films is proposed. This mew method applies RF magnetron sputtering technique at room temperature. The incorporation of Si NP was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM); isolated Si NPs with diameters of around 6 nm are observed. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) was performed during TEM analysis in order to confirm the presence of Si NP and also the other elements of the thin film. The thin films are explored with respect to the photoinduced changes of the reflectivity within the 400-65 nm spectra range using a 10 ns pulsed Nd:YAG with power densities varying up to 400 MW/cm2 and beam diameter within the 3-5 mm range. The observed processes are analyzed within a framework of trapping level conceptions for the Si NP. The possible application of the discovered materials as optical sensitive sensors is proposed. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

Neste trabalho foi investigada e otimizada uma nova heteroestrutura planar de três camadas com efeitos magneto-ópticos de Faraday e de Kerr aprimorados e transmissão óptica extraordinária na região de comprimento de onda de 925 a 1200 nm. Esta estrutura consiste de uma placa metálica não magnética de ouro perfurada periodicamente e colocada sobre duas finas camadas dielétricas, sendo uma composta por um material não magnético e outra composta por um material magnético (Bi-substituted Yttrium Iron Garnet) uniformemente magnetizado perpendicularmente ao seu plano. Analisando e otimizando esta estrutura, obteve-se rotação de Faraday e rotação de Kerr três vezes e nove vezes maior, respectivamente, que os de dispositivos análogos publicados na literatura. Além disso, esta estrutura foi otimizada para obter um aumento de 40% da transmissão óptica extraordinária, preservando o ângulo de rotação de Faraday. A heteroestrutura investigada pode ser utilizada em dispositivos ópticos não recíprocos.

O objetivo desra pesquisa foi avaliar a microinfiltração através da microscopia óptica e a nanoinfiltração, através da Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura (MRV), em cavidades classe V, preparadas por dois métodos: 1) irradiação à laser Er:UAG mais condicionamento ácido e 2) turbinas de alta-rotação. Foi observado também a influência da irradiação do laser Nd;YAG em dois sistemas de adesivo dentinários: Single Bond (3M) e Prime & Bond NT (Dentsply). As cavidades foram restauradas com a resina composta Z100 quando foi utilizado o adesivo...

This study evaluated the effect on micro-tensile bond strength (mu-TBS) of laser irradiation of etched/unetched dentin through an uncured self-etching adhesive. Dentinal surfaces were treated with Clearfil SE Bond Adhesive (CSE) either according to the manufacturer's instructions (CSE) or without applying the primer (CSE/NP). The dentin was irradiated through the uncured adhesive, using an Nd: YAG laser at 0.75 or 1 W power settings. The adhesive was cured, composite crowns were built up, and the teeth were sectioned into beams (0.49 mm(2)) to be stressed under tension. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey statistics (alpha = 5%). Dentin of the fractured specimens and the interfaces of untested beams were observed under scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that non-etched irradiated surfaces presented higher mu-TBS than etched and irradiated surfaces (p < 0.05). Laser irradiation alone did not lead to differences in mu-TBS (p > 0.05). SEM showed solidification globules on the surfaces of the specimens. The interfaces were similar on irradiated and non-irradiated surfaces. Laser irradiation of dentin through the uncured adhesive did not lead to higher mu-TBS when compared to the suggested manufacturer's technique. However, this treatment brought benefits when performed on unetched dentin, since bond strengths were higher when compared to etched dentin.
