Enhancement of Diffraction Efficiency and Storage Life of Poly (Vinyl Chloride) Based Optical Recording Medium with the Incorporation of an Electron Donor

The differaction efficiency,sensitivity and storage life of Methylene Blue sencitized poly (vinyl chloride) film was improved by the addition of an electron donor in the matrix. The addition of pyridine enhanced the diffraction efficiency by two times and storage life of the gratings was increased to 2-3 days.

Fabrication and Characterization of Methylene-Blue-Doped Polyvinyl Alcohol–Polyacrylicacid Blend for Holographic Recording

A methylene-blue-sensitized polymer blend of polyvinyl alcohol and polyacrylic acid is fabricated and tested for holographic recording. It was found to have good characteristics such as high sensitivity, storage stability, ease of fabrication, and environmental stability. Optimization of the ratio of polyvinyl alcohol polyacrylic acid, the sensitizer concentration, pH, energy, diffraction efficiency measurements, etc., have been done. pH is found to have a great influence on the recovery of the dye in this matrix. The results of experimental investigations into the properties of this new material are reported.

Reusable Recording Medium Based on MBPVA and Vinyl Acetate

A new photopolymerizable recording media is introduced based on poly (vinyl alcohol) and vinyl acetate sensitized with methylene blue. It is observed that this MBPVA/VAc system can be reused a number of times without significant decrease in diffraction efficiency. The PVA-VAc ratio was optimized at 2:1. Diffraction efficiency of 6.3% was obtained without any fixing at a dye concentration of 9.3 10 4 mol/l at an exposure of 750 mJ/cm2. The material is attractive on account of its reusability.

Preparation and characterisation of "Y-Fe203 as tape recording material

Optimum conditions for the preparation of tape recording quality Y-Fe20 s by the thermal decomposition of ferrous oxalate dihydrate have been established. Formation of the intermediate F%O~ which is most important in forming Y-FezO 3 takes place only in the presence of water vapour. Various stages of decomposition have been characterised by DTA, TG, DTG, and x-ray powder diffraction. The method for the preparation of acicular "Y-Fe208 that matches very well with the commercial tape recording material has been developed

Sound and music.

Se ofrece a los lectores más jóvenes una introducción al mundo de las ciencias, para que de forma práctica y amena, aprendan y descubran por sí mismos. En este volumen, se explican a traves de hechos y actividades dos temas de la física: el sonido, como una forma de energía, y la música, y la diferencia entre ambos.

Experiments with light and sound.

El libro presenta, con ilustraciones a color y sencillas explicaciones, diferentes y fáciles experimentos científicos en el campo de la física relacionados con la luz y el sonido, que ayudarán a los niños a comprender los conceptos básicos de forma aplicada. Los temas tratados son: la luz viaja en líneas rectas, refracción, espectro, el fantasma de Pepper, fibra óptica, mezcla de colores, velocidad del sonido, reflexión del sonido. Incluye una introducción, una sección con los materiales y herramientas necesarios para realizar los experimentos, un glosario de términos, índice, y una página Web actualizada con regularidad.
