These samples were characterized by Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (EDS) to determine the elemental composition, as well as by X-ray diffraction for structure, hot point probe method for type of conductivity. Optical response (Photoconductivity) and Photoluminescence (PL) and PL-excitation (PLE) at temperatures from 4.2 to 77 K were also used to estimate the band-gap energy of Cu-Ga<sub>3</sub>Se<sub>5</sub>. They show a nearly perfect stoechiometry and present p-type conductivity. CuGa<sub>3</sub>Se<sub>5</sub> either have an Ordered Defect Chalcopyrite structure (ODC), or an Ordered Vacancy Chalcopyrite structure (OVC). The gap energy obtained by Photoconductivity and Photoluminescence (PL) for the different samples is 1.85 eV. Studying the variation of the gap as a function of the temperature shows that the transition is a D-A type. The defects that appear are probably Ga<sub>Cu</sub>.展开更多

At 532 nm, when increasing excitation intensity, NLO absorption of TiO2 NPs transforms from saturable absorption to reverse-saturable absorption. However, NWs and NWAs exhibit the opposite change. At 780nm, all samples show reverse-saturable absorption, but have different sensitivities to excitation intensity. Due to the larger surface-to-volume ratio of NPs and less defects of NWAs by annealing, nonlinear optical absorption coet^icients follow the order NPs≥ NWs≥ NWAs. The results also show that these shape and annealing effects axe dominant at low excitation intensity, but do not exhibit at the high excitation intensity. The NLO refractive index of NPs shows a positive linear relationship with the excitation intensity, whereas NW and NWAs exhibit a negative linear relationship. The results could provide some foundational guidance to applications of anatase TiO2 in optoelectronic devices or other aspects.展开更多

We consider two located metallic clusters close to each other with admittances ε1 and ε2. Through varying the difference admittance ratio η[= （ε2 - ε0）/（ε1 - ε0）], we find that their optical responses are determined by the local resonance. There is a blueshift of absorption peaks with the increase of η- Simultaneously, it is known that the absorption peaks will be redshifted by enlarging the cluster size. By adjusting the nano-metallic cluster geometry, size and admittances, we can control the positions and intensities of absorption peaks effectively. We have also deduced the effective linear optical responses of three-component composites εe=ε0 （1＋∑^n n=1[（γn1＋ηγn2）/（ε0（s-sn））]） and the sum rule of cross sections：∑^n n=1（γn1＋ηγn2）=Nh1＋Nh2,, where Nh1and Nh2 are the numbers of εl and ε2 bonds along the electric field, respectively.

It is observed that the nonlinear optical response of Cu Se nanocrystals is sensitively dependent on the excitation wavelength and exhibits the enhanced nonlinearity compared with other selenides such as ZnSe and CdSe. The W-shaped Z-scan trace, a mixture of the reversed saturated absorption and saturated absorption, is observed near the plasmon resonance band of Cu Se nanocrystals, which is attributed to the state-filling of free carriers generated by copper vacancies (self-doping effect) of Cu Se nanocrystals as well as the hot carrier thermal effect upon intense femtosecond laser excitation. The large nonlinear optical response and tunable plasmonic band make Cu Se nanocrystals promising materials for applications in ultra-fast all-optical switching devices as well as nonlinear nanosensors.展开更多

Different results under electrical bias, optical bias or combined electrical and optical bias are analyzed for an excellent UTC-DHPT performance. The results show that when the UTC-DHPT operates at three-terminal （3T） working mode with combined electrical bias and optical bias in base, it keeps a high optical responsivity of 34.72 A/W and the highest optical transition frequency of 120 GHz. The current gain of the 3T UTC-DHPT under 1.55-μm light illuminations reaches 62 dB. This indicates that the combined base electrical bias and optical bias of 3T UTC-DHPT can make sure that the UTC-DHPT provides high optical current gain and high optical transition frequency simultaneously.展开更多

The W-shaped Z-scan trace, a mixture of the reversed saturated absorption and saturated absorption, is observed near the plasmon resonance band of Cu Se nanocrystals, which is attributed to the state-filling of free carriers generated by copper vacancies (self-doping effect) of Cu Se nanocrystals as well as the hot carrier thermal effect upon intense femtosecond laser excitation. The large nonlinear optical response and tunable plasmonic band make Cu Se nanocrystals promising materials for applications in ultra-fast all-optical switching devices as well as nonlinear nanosensors.

文摘Lanthanide-doped photon-avalanche(PA)upconversion(UC)nanoparticles(NPs),characterized by highly nonlinear optical response,have recently attracted tremendous interest for applications in many frontier areas such as super-resolution imaging[1],dynamic photoswitching[2],ultrasensitive optical sensing[3],and high-density optical memory and computing[4].Specifically,the large nonlinearities(N)of PA have fueled the development of low-cost,single-beam super-resolution imaging techniques,offering a√N-fold improvement in spatial resolution[5].Although PA NPs with N plateauing 60s have been developed through energy transfer engineering based on core/shell architecture[6],further enhancement remains challenging.

文摘The quantum metric manifested as the Riemannian metric in the parameter space of Bloch bands,characterizes the topology and geometry of quantum states.The second harmonic generation(SHG),as one of the fundamental nonlinear optical responses that links geometry of optical transitions to physical observables,despite being widely studied in various materials,its relation to quantum metric,especially in the dynamical regime,stays obscure.

文摘In this paper, the positive influence of a uni-traveling-carrier （UTC） structure to ease the contract between the respon- sivity and working speed of the InP-based double hetero-junction phototransistor （DHPT） is illustrated in detail. Different results under electrical bias, optical bias or combined electrical and optical bias are analyzed for an excellent UTC-DHPT performance. The results show that when the UTC-DHPT operates at three-terminal （3T） working mode with combined electrical bias and optical bias in base, it keeps a high optical responsivity of 34.72 A/W and the highest optical transition frequency of 120 GHz. The current gain of the 3T UTC-DHPT under 1.55-μm light illuminations reaches 62 dB. This indicates that the combined base electrical bias and optical bias of 3T UTC-DHPT can make sure that the UTC-DHPT provides high optical current gain and high optical transition frequency simultaneously.

文摘Optical responsivity grants biomedical capsules additional capabilities,promoting them towards multifunctional theragnostic nanodevices.In this endeavor,screening candidates under conditions that closely resemble in situ environments is crucial for both the initial optimization and the subsequent inspection stages of development and operation.Optical tweezers equipped with dark-field spectroscopy are among the preferable tools for nanoparticle imaging and refractometry.However,the effectiveness of conventional illumination and light collection arrangements for inspecting anisotropic complex inner composition particles is quite limited due to reduced collection angles,which can result in the omission of features in scattering diagrams.Here we introduce an endoscopic dark-field illumination scheme,where light is launched on an optically trapped particle from a single-mode fiber,immersed into a fluid cell.This arrangement disentangles illumination and collection paths,thus allowing the collection of scattered light with a very high numerical aperture.This methodology is applied to vaterite capsules,which are known to possess strong anisotropic responses.Tweezer configuration allows revealing optical properties for different crystallographic orientations of vaterite,which is complex to do otherwise.Furthermore,endoscopic dark-field images reveal the emergence of polarization-dependent long-range photonic nanojets,which are capable of interacting with nearby particles,demonstrating a new pathway for nanojet image formation.

文摘The optical response of metal nanoparticles can be modified through near-field or far-field interaction,yet the lattice plasmon modes(LPMs)considered can only be excited from the latter.Here instead,we present a theoretical evaluation for LPM excitation via the near-field coupling process.The sample is an arrayed structure with specific units composed of upper metal disks,a lower metal hole and a sandwiched dielectric post.The excitation process and underlying mechanism of the LPM and the influence of the structure parameters on the optical properties have been investigated in detail by using a finite-difference time-domain(FDTD)numerical method.Our investigation presented here should advance the understanding of near-field interaction of plasmon modes for LPM excitation,and LPMs could find some potential applications,such as in near-field optical microscopes,biosensors,optical filters and plasmonic lasers.

文摘The photonic spin Hall effect has attracted considerable research interest due to its potential applications in spincontrolled nanophotonic devices.However,realization of the asymmetrical photonic spin Hall effect with a single optical element is still a challenge due to the conjugation of the Pancharatnam-Berry phase,which reduces the flexibility in various applications.Here,we demonstrate an asymmetrical spin-dependent beam splitter based on a single-layer dielectric metasurface exhibiting strong and controllable optical response.The metasurface consists of an array of dielectric nanofins,where both varying rotation angles and feature sizes of the unit cells are utilized to create high-efficiency dielectric metasurfaces,which enables to break the conjugated characteristic of phase gradient.Thanks to the superiority of the phase modulation ability,when the fabricated metasurface is under normal incidence with a wavelength of 1550 nm,the lefthanded circular polarization(LCP)light exhibits an anomalous refraction angle of 28.9°,while the right-handed circular polarization(RCP)light transmits directly.The method we proposed can be used for the flexible manipulation of spin photons and has potentials in high efficiency metasurfaces with versatile functionalities,especially with metasurfaces in a compact space.

文摘The effect of replacing the anion from N to Bi down the group in the periodic table is investigated on SrMg2X2（X = N,P,As,Sb,Bi）.A full potential linearized augmented plane wave plus local orbitals method is used along with different exchange–correlation potentials to obtain the lattice constants,phonons,electronic,and optical properties of the Sr Mg2X2（X = N,P,As,Sb,Bi） Zintl compounds.A good agreement is achieved and our calculations are validated by previous experimental and theoretical data.All compounds have shown stable dynamical behavior with gamma centered longitudinal response having no imaginary frequencies.Electronic band structures reveal the semiconducting nature of the compounds.The Pnictogen（X）-p state contributed mainly in the valence band and the Sr-d state forms the conduction of the compounds.Relative charge transfer and low overlapping of the atomic densities indicates the preferable ionic bonding character of these materials.In the optical properties,real and imaginary parts of dielectric function,complex refractive index,birefringence,reflectivity,and optical conductivity are calculated.These compounds can be utilized in the optical and optoelectronic devices.
