We report the measured group delay dispersion (GDD) of new crystals Yb:Gd2SiO5 (Yb:GSO), Yb:GdYSiO5 (Yb:GYSO) and Yb:LuYSiO5 (Yb:LYSO) over wavelengths from 1000nm to 1200nm, with a white-light interferometer. Those GDD data should be useful for the dispersion compensation for femtosecond pulse generation in the lasers with these new crystals as the gain media. (C) 2007 Optical Society of America

Verificação do desempenho do ensaio de adensamento CRS comparado ao SIC.

A presente dissertação objetiva a verificação do desempenho dos ensaios do tipo CRS, com velocidade controlada, quando comparados aos ensaios de adensamento oedométricos convencionais, SIC. O ensaio SIC é executado em vários estágios de carga, cada qual com vinte e quatro horas de duração e razão unitária entre o incremento de tensão e a tensão anterior, requerendo um prazo total de cerca de 10 dias para sua execução. Já o ensaio de adensamento com velocidade controlada, CRS, tem sua duração bastante reduzida, o que levou diversos pesquisadores da área de Geotecnia a concentrarem esforços no estudo de seu desempenho, visando sua utilização mais ampla. Para este estudo foi adquirido equipamento da empresa Hogentogler Inc., designado por GeoStar. Sua instalação, montagem e calibração foram realizadas no Laboratório de Mecânica dos Solos. Foram executados ensaios em corpos de prova obtidos de amostras de caulim, preparadas em laboratório, e também em amostras de solos originários de dois depósitos de diferentes regiões no Estado do Rio de Janeiro: baixada de Jacarepaguá e Itaboraí. A dissertação procurou detalhar a execução dos ensaios, as dificuldades da interpretação das planilhas originadas pelo sistema de aquisição de dados, acoplado ao equipamento GeoStar, as mudanças efetuadas, as ocorrências não previstas, a análise e interpretação dos resultados e a comparação dos parâmetros obtidos com os ensaios SIC e CRS. Procurou-se estudar o efeito da velocidade de deformação, histórico de tensões, qualidade dos corpos de prova, parâmetros do ensaio, facilidade de execução e desempenho. Verificou-se a simplicidade, rapidez e o desempenho satisfatório do ensaio CRS. Sugere-se estender estudos semelhantes a outros locais e, principalmente, a amostras de qualidade superior, na expectativa de confirmar as conclusões detalhadas nesta pesquisa.

Nonpolarizing beam splitter designed by frustrated total internal reflection inside a glass cube

A method for the design of an all-dielectric nonpolarizing prism beam splitter utilizing the principle of frustrated total internal reflection is reported. The nonpolarizing condition for a prism beam splitter is discussed, and some single layer design examples are elaborated. The concept can be applied to a wide range of wavelengths and arbitrary transmittance values, and with the help of a computer design program examples of 400-700 nm, T-p = T-p = 0.5 +/- 0.01, with incident angles of 45 degrees and 62 degrees are given. In addition, the sensitivity and application of the design are also discussed. (c) 2006 Optical Society of America.

退火对电子束热蒸发193nm Al2O3/MgF2反射膜性能的影响

设计并镀制了193nm Al2O3/MgF2反射膜,对它们在空气中分别进行了250-400℃的高温退火,测量了样品的透射率光谱曲线和绝对反射率光谱曲线.发现样品在高反射区的总的光学损耗随退火温度的升高而下降,而后趋于饱和.采用总积分散射的方法对样品在不同退火温度下的散射损耗进行了分析,发现随着退火温度的升高散射损耗有所增加.因此,总的光学损耗的下降是由于吸收损耗而不是散射损耗起主导作用.对Al2O3材料的单层膜进行了同等条件的退火处理,由它们光学性能的变化推导出它们的折射率和消光系数的变化,从而解释了相应

Influence of oxygen partial pressure on the structure and photoluminescence of direct current reactive magnetron sputtering ZnO thin films

The effects of oxygen partial pressure on the structure and photoluminescence (PL) of ZnO films were studied. The films were prepared by direct current (DC) reactive magnetron sputtering with various oxygen concentrations at room temperature. With increasing oxygen ratio, the structure of films changes from zinc and zinc oxide phases, single-phase ZnO, to the (002) orientation, and the mechanical stresses exhibit from tensile stress to compressive stress. Films deposited at higher oxygen pressure show weaker emission intensities, which may result from the decrease of the oxygen vacancies and zinc interstitials in the film. This indicates that the emission in ZnO film originates from the oxygen vacancy and zinc interstitial-related defects. From optical transmittance spectra of ZnO films, the plasma edge shifts towards the shorter wavelength with the improvement of film stoichiometry. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The effects of oxygen partial pressure on the optical absorption edge and the UV emission energy of ZnO films

The optical absorption edge and ultraviolet (UV) emission energy of ZnO films deposited by direct current (DC) reactive magnetron sputtering at room temperature have been investigated. With the oxygen ratio increasing, the structure of films changes from zinc and zinc oxide coexisting phase to single-phase ZnO and finally to the highly (002) orientation. Both the grain size and the stress of ZnO film vary with the oxygen partial pressure. Upon increasing the oxygen partial pressure in the growing ambient, the visible emission in the room-temperature photoluminescence spectra was suppressed without sacrificing the band-edge emission intensity in the ultraviolet region. The peaks of photoluminescence spectra were located at 3.06---3.15 eV. From optical transmittance spectra of ZnO films, the optical band gap edge was observed to shift towards shorter wavelength with the increase of oxygen partial pressure.
