This ...The separation between s- and p-polarization components invariably affects thin film edge filters used for tilted incidence and is a difficult problem for many applications, especially for optical communication. This paper presents a novel design method to obtain edge filters with non-polarization at incidence angle of 45°. The polarization separation at 50% trans-mittance for a long-wave-pass filter and a short-wave-pass filter is 0.3 nm and 0.1 nm respectively. The design method is based on a broadband Fabry-Perot thin-film interference filter in which the higher or lower interference band at both sides of the main transmittance peak can be used for initial design of long-wave-pass filter or short-wave-pass filter and then can be refined to reduce the transmittance ripples. The spacer 2H2L2H or 2L2H2L of the filter is usually taken. Moreover, the method for expanding the bandwidth of rejection and transmission is explained. The bandwidth of 200 nm for both rejection region and transmission band is obtained at wavelength 1550 nm. In this way, the long-wave-pass and short-wave-pass edge filters with zero separation between two polarization components can easily be fabricated.展开更多

The thin films were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction（XRD）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscope（XPS）, field emission scanning electron microscopy（FESEM）, transmission electron microscopy（TEM）. The optical and photoelectrochemical（PEC） properties of the Cu2 x S semiconductor films were investigated by ultraviolet–visible（UV–vis） absorption spectroscopy and a three-electrode system. It is found that EDTA plays a key role in the process of Cu2 x S nanocrystals formation and growth. The compositions of the Cu2 x S nanocrystals varied from Cu2S（chalcocide） to Cu S（covellite） through adjusting the concentration of EDTA, which is used as a complexing agent to yield high-quality Cu2 x S films. The growth mechanisms of Cu2 x S nanocrystals with different EDTA concentrations are proposed and discussed in detail.展开更多

The effect of Zn doping on the structural,morphological, optical, and electrical properties of the films was investigated. XRD patterns revealed that all the films are polycrystalline in nature having cubic crystal structure with a preferential orientation along the（1 1 1） plane irrespective of Zn-doping level. Zn-doping level causes a slight shift in the（1 1 1） diffraction peak toward higher angle. The crystallite size of the films was found to be in the range of 28–37 nm. The band gap value increases with Zn doping and reaches a maximum of 2.65 eV for the film coated with 6 at% Zn doping and for further higher doping concentration it decreases.Electrical studies indicate that Zn doping causes a reduction in the resistivity of the films and a minimum resistivity of15.69 X cm is observed for the film coated with 6 at% Zn.展开更多

The photoinduced reorientation process is investigated by using an Nd：YVO4 pump beam at 532 nm and a low semiconductor laser beam at 650 nm. The reorientation rate of azo polymer films is enhanced in the presence of Ag nanoparticles, and the rate of the azo polymer film with Ag concentration of 2.2 μg/ml is larger than that of the azo polymer films with Ag concentrations of 1.1 μg/ml and 4.4 μg/ml. The third-order nonlinear optical properties of the Ag/azo composite film are obtained by the Z-scan technique at a wavelength of 532 nm, and the measured nonlinear refractive index is 9.258×10-9 esu. It is shown that the main mechanisms involved in the large nonlinear optical responses come from the local field enhancement of Ag nanoparticles and the nonlinear effect of the azo polymer matrix.展开更多

文摘Thin films of Cu2 x S（x = 0, 1） were deposited on self-assembled, monolayer modified substrates in the copper–thiosulfate system with various concentrations of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid（EDTA） at a low temperature of 70 8C. The thin films were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction（XRD）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscope（XPS）, field emission scanning electron microscopy（FESEM）, transmission electron microscopy（TEM）. The optical and photoelectrochemical（PEC） properties of the Cu2 x S semiconductor films were investigated by ultraviolet–visible（UV–vis） absorption spectroscopy and a three-electrode system. It is found that EDTA plays a key role in the process of Cu2 x S nanocrystals formation and growth. The compositions of the Cu2 x S nanocrystals varied from Cu2S（chalcocide） to Cu S（covellite） through adjusting the concentration of EDTA, which is used as a complexing agent to yield high-quality Cu2 x S films. The growth mechanisms of Cu2 x S nanocrystals with different EDTA concentrations are proposed and discussed in detail.
文摘Thin films of zinc-doped cadmium oxide with different Zn-doping levels（0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 at%） were deposited on glass substrates by employing an inexpensive, simplified spray technique using perfume atomizer at relatively low substrate temperature（375 °C） compared with the conventional spray method. The effect of Zn doping on the structural,morphological, optical, and electrical properties of the films was investigated. XRD patterns revealed that all the films are polycrystalline in nature having cubic crystal structure with a preferential orientation along the（1 1 1） plane irrespective of Zn-doping level. Zn-doping level causes a slight shift in the（1 1 1） diffraction peak toward higher angle. The crystallite size of the films was found to be in the range of 28–37 nm. The band gap value increases with Zn doping and reaches a maximum of 2.65 eV for the film coated with 6 at% Zn doping and for further higher doping concentration it decreases.Electrical studies indicate that Zn doping causes a reduction in the resistivity of the films and a minimum resistivity of15.69 X cm is observed for the film coated with 6 at% Zn.

文摘Photoemission behaviors of nano-CeO2 films with particle sizes ranging from 8 nm to 50 nm and bulk CeO2 in Ce 4 d-4 f absorption region have been investigated. Resonant enhancements of Ce 4 f valance band and Ce 5 p bands for nano film and bulk material have been observed. The variation of electron density of states in valance bands of nano and bulk structures of CeO2 is discussed in terms of Ce 4 d-4 f resonance.
文摘Azobenzene polymer films doped with and without Ag nanoparticles are prepared. The photoinduced reorientation process is investigated by using an Nd：YVO4 pump beam at 532 nm and a low semiconductor laser beam at 650 nm. The reorientation rate of azo polymer films is enhanced in the presence of Ag nanoparticles, and the rate of the azo polymer film with Ag concentration of 2.2 μg/ml is larger than that of the azo polymer films with Ag concentrations of 1.1 μg/ml and 4.4 μg/ml. The third-order nonlinear optical properties of the Ag/azo composite film are obtained by the Z-scan technique at a wavelength of 532 nm, and the measured nonlinear refractive index is 9.258×10-9 esu. It is shown that the main mechanisms involved in the large nonlinear optical responses come from the local field enhancement of Ag nanoparticles and the nonlinear effect of the azo polymer matrix.

文摘The integration of multiscale and multicomponent of molecules and nanoparticles into thin films for applications requires the abilities of controlled their processing and assembly,which has been an great challenge because of the difficulty in manipulating the various materials such as small molecules,complexes,polymers,and inorganic nanomaterials through synergetic combinations of chemical or physical fabrications.Eletropolymerization is of great significance to fabricate polymeric film materials straight on the conductive substrates with tunable morphologies and thicknesses.However,unlimited electrochemical reactions（polymerization）have been usually leading to disadvantageous in ill-defined structure and highly doped state.Thanks to finding of exceptional electrochemical reaction（oligomerization）of N-alkylcarbazole,electrochemical layer by layer assembly has emerged as a promising strategy for a wide library of applications.The capability of this strategy can manipulate various molecules and nanoparticles into the scale and component controllable thin films.Unlike other electropolymerizable precursors such as aniline and thiophene,the resulting di-N-alkylcarbazole is transparent in the visible light region and thus does not impair the intrinsic properties of the components in the film.This account highlights of the typical findings in investigating both single-and multi-components thin films as a forum for discussing new opportunities in exploiting novel designs and applications of optical thin films.
文摘The protective AR(anti-reflection)film of infrared wavelength is an important optical film used in army field.The design and preparation of SiO_(2)film used for protection and avoiding-reflection in IR wavelength are discussed in this article.In order to resolve the problem of water absorbing in 2900nm,we prepared the film by Ion Beam Assisted Deposition(IBAD)and annealed it after preparation.At last,we get a good SiO2 film deposited on big spherical surface,which has very good optical and mechanical character.
文摘Transparent zinc oxide（ZnO） thin films are fabricated by a simple sol-gel spin-coating technique on glass substrates with different solution concentrations（0.3-1.2 M） using zinc acetate dehydrate [Zn（CH_3COO）_2·2H_2O] as precursor and isopropanol and monoethanolamine（MEA） as solvent and stabilizer, respectively. The molar ratio of zinc acetate dehydrate to MEA is 1.0. X-ray diffraction, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy are employed to investigate the effect of solution concentration on the structural and optical properties of the ZnO thin films. The obtained results of all thin films are discussed in detail and are compared with other experimental data.
文摘From sevenal models about damage mechanism, the damage mechanism of optical films and the factors which affect the damage threshold are described experimentally and theoretically. Some reasonable proposals are given in this paper on how to select the high-threshold films.
