Analysis on a new type magneto-optical disk for blue lasers

The conventional TbFeCo magneto-optical (MO) medium has a relatively smaller Kerr rotation angle in the blue region than in the red. With the recording wavelength gradually moving to the short wavelength, if TbFeCo is still used as recording medium, the conventional MO disk structure must be optimized to get a larger carrier to noise ratio (CNR). Sabi et al. have found that adding a metal layer attached to the TbFeCo film as thermal control layer is a useful way to get a high CNR. In this paper, we proved this through calculation, and carried out optimization of the new type of disk. Calculation results showed that the new structure is useful in preventing an excessive temperature increase, and has a better thermal response. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

轴向为烷氧基配位的萘酞菁硅配合物的光谱及光稳定性

研究了4种轴向为烷氧基配位的萘酞菁硅配合物（NcSi（OR）2，R为CH3、C2H3、C3H7和C4H9）在DMSO、DMF、CH2Cl2中的Q带吸收光谱和光降解动力学及其稳定性。研究结果表明，这4种萘酞菁配合物在相同溶剂中随着轴向配位烷氧基碳链的增长其最大吸收波长逐渐增加，并且在DMSO、CH2Cl2溶剂中随着轴向配位烷氧基碳链的增长光稳定性逐渐增强；对于同一配合物，溶剂对其光稳定性影响顺序为：DMSO〉CH2Cl2〉DMF。

Structural and up-conversion luminescence properties in Tm (3+)/Yb3+-codoped heavy metal oxide-halide glasses

Tm3+/Yb3+-codoped heavy metal oxide-halide glasses have been synthesized by conventional melting and quenching method. Structural properties were obtained based on the Raman spectra, indicating that halide ion has an important influence on the phonon density and maximum phonon energy of host glasses. Intense blue and weak red emissions centered at 477 and 650 nm, corresponding to the transitions (1)G(4) -> H-3(6) and (1)G(4) -> H-3(4), respectively, were observed at room temperature. The possible up-conversion mechanisms are discussed and estimated. With increasing halide content, the up-conversion luminescence intensity and blue luminescence lifetimes of Tm3+ ion increase notably. Our results show that with the substitution of halide ion for oxygen ion, the decrease of phonon density and maximum phonon energy of host glasses both contribute to the enhanced up-conversion emissions.

Estudio del abastecimiento energético del municipio de Abadín mediante un sistema eólico.

[ES]Este trabajo tiene como objetivo satisfacer la demanda de energía del municipio de Abadín, situado en la provincia de Lugo, aprovechando los recursos eólicos de la zona. Para ello será necesario un análisis de la demanda total de la población y de las condiciones del viento en la zona. Después se elegirá el emplazamiento donde las condiciones de viento sean adecuadas para instalar el sistema eólico. Conocidos estos datos, se elegirá un aerogenerador y se calculará la potencia que proporciona en función de sus características. Por último, se concluirá si el sistema eólico diseñado cubre las necesidades energéticas del municipio o no.

Growth of excellent-quality Nd : LuVO4 single crystal and laser properties

High-quality Nd:LuVO4 single crystal was successfully grown by Czochralski method. The assessment of the crystalline quality by the chemical etching method and Conoscope image was reported. The absorption spectra from 300 to 1000 nm and emission spectra from 960 to 1450 nm of Nd: LuVO4 were measured. Laser performance was achieved with Nd:LUVO4 crystal for the transition of F-4(3/2) -> I-4(11/2) (corresponding wavelength 1065.8 nm) in an actively Q-switched operation, and the average output power reached 5.42 W at a pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of 40 kHz under pump power of 18 W, giving an optical conversion efficiency of 30.1%. The pulse energy and peak power reached 138 mu J and 16.2 kW at PRF of 25 kHz under pump power of 14.2 W, and the pulse duration was 8.5 ns. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
