All-polarization-maintaining dual-wavelength mode-locked fiber laser based on Sagnac loop filter
摘要： We demonstrate an all polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber based dual-wavelength mode-locked Er-fiber laser. A nonlinear amplifying loop mirror (NALM) with an intracavity nonreciprocal phase shifter is used for self-started mode-locking. A short segment of PM fiber is angle-spliced to the NALM, functioning as a PM Sagnac loop filter, thus enabling dual-wavelength mode-locking. The wavelength separation is solely determined by the angle-spliced PM fiber length. Stable dual-wavelength mode-locking operation is switchable between 1570/1581 nm and 1581/1594 nm. The two-color pulse trains oscillating in the same cavity have an inherent offset repetition rate of ~1 kHz owing to cavity dispersion, allowing future high precision dual-comb applications with a simple and robust configuration.

Polycrystal Synthesis, Crystal Growth, Structure, and Optical Properties of AgGaGe <sub/><i> <i>n</i> </i> </sub> S <sub/> 2( <i> <i>n</i> </i> +1) </sub> ( <i>n</i> = 2, 3, 4, and 5) Single Crystals for Mid-IR Laser Applications
摘要： AgGaGenS2(n+1) crystal is a series of quaternary for mid-IR laser applications of nonlinear optical materials converting a 1.064 μm pump signal (Nd:YAG laser) to 4?11 μm laser output, but only AgGaGeS4 has attracted the most attention, remaining the other promising AgGaGenS2(n+1) crystal whose physicochemical properties can be modulated by n value. In this work, AgGaGenS2(n+1) (n = 2, 3, 4, and 5) polycrystals are synthesized by vapor transport and mechanical oscillation method with di?erent cooling processes. High-resolution X-ray di?raction analysis and re?nement have revealed that all the four compounds are crystallized in the noncentrosymmetric orthorhombic space group Fdd2, resulting in the excellent nonlinear optical property, and the distortion of tetrahedron with the variation of n value causes the discrepancy of physicochemical property. Besides, using the modi?ed Bridgman method, AgGaGenS2(n+1) single crystals with 15 mm diameter and 20?40 mm length have been grown. We have discussed the structure and composition of AgGaGenS2(n+1) by XPS spectra and analyzed the three kinds of vibration modes of tetrahedral clusters by the Raman spectra. The Hall measurement indicates that the AgGaGenS2(n+1) single crystals are p-type semiconductor, and the carrier concentration decreases with the increasing n value. All the transmittances of as-grown AgGaGenS2(n+1) samples exceeds 60% in the transparent range, especially the transmittance of AgGaGe2S6, is up to 70% at 1064 nm, and the band gap of as-grown crystal increases from 2.85 eV for AgGaGe2S6 to 2.92 eV for AgGaGe5S12. After a thermal annealing treatment, the absorptions at 2.9, 4, and 10 μm have been eliminated, and the band gap changed into the range of 2.89?2.96 eV.

Anti-Reflecting Absorbing Layers for Electrochemical and Biophotonic Applications
摘要： Anti-reflecting layers deposited on flat surfaces make molecular films visible in reflecting light microscopy. For centuries, single Anti-Reflecting layers have been implicitly associated with dielectric materials. We recently demonstrated that anti-reflecting layers could be achieved out of absorbing materials such as metals as well, but only when used as backside layers where illumination and detection are performed through a supporting window. Fortunately, this corresponds to the best geometry when envisaging biophotonic or electrochemical applications at the solid/liquid interface. Here we explain how single absorbing anti-reflecting layers can serve each of these applications, and both simultaneously.

Investigation of Strongly Hydrophobic and Thick Porous Silicon Stain Films Properties
摘要： Porous silicon (PSi) structures with strong hydrophobicity have been achieved by chemical etching of p-type silicon substrates in a solution based on hydrofluoric acid solution (HF) and vanadium oxide (V2O5). The surface morphology and microstructure of the elaborated structured silicon surfaces were investigated using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), contact angle and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results show that the obtained structures exhibit hierarchically porous surfaces with porous pillars of silicon (PPSi) and an important hydrophobicity of the surface. The electrical properties of those PPSi structures were investigated in presence of 10 ppm of NO2 gas. The response time was about 30s at room temperature. Our results demonstrate that PPSi/Si are highly hydrophobic for long time and suitable for applications in the field of self-cleaning and may be a good candidate in elaborating practical NO2 sensors.

UWB radar cross section reduction in a compact antipodal Vivaldi antenna
摘要： This paper presents the design of a compact antipodal Vivaldi antenna (AVA) with reduced radar cross section (RCS) for directional UWB communications. The impedance characteristics of a conventional AVA are improved by introducing a BALUN taper in the ground plane and circular slots of different diameters in the wings of the AVA. The slots on the wings improve the RCS performance of the antenna by rejecting the orthogonal radiations from the AVA. Furthermore, drills of suitable diameter are introduced to further enhance the monostatic RCS performance. The proposed AVA offers 74% size reduction compared to the existing AVAs reported in literature with its bandwidth extending from 3 GHz to over 12 GHz. The prototype AVA is fabricated and the simulation results are veri?ed using experimental measurements. The prototype antenna offers at least 11 dB reduction in RCS throughout the operating bandwidth with a peak reduction of 16 dB at 7 GHz and 11 GHz.

A brief overview of molecularly imprinted polymers supported on titanium dioxide matrices
摘要： Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) is a polymer competent of mimicking selective binding of target or template molecule, which is characteristic of enzyme and antibodies. MIP has a wide range of applications in various fields of science and can be used as a sensor, catalyst, drug delivery component, etc. To overcome some demerits of MIP, the process of formation of imprinting cavity was carried out by nanoimprinting materials, which enables the imprinting technique to create more effective recognition sites than those obtained by traditional approaches. Here, in this article, we described a brief account of various discoveries happened in titanium dioxideebased molecularly imprinted polymeric system that shows a wide variety of chemical applications. The intention of this article is to provide comprehensive knowledge and information to all researchers who are interested in exploiting molecular imprinting technology toward the rational design of various chemical sensors operating on different transduction principles, ranging from electrochemical to piezoelectric, being used for the detection of different template molecules as they pose considerable impact on the understanding of the origin of life and all processes that occur in living organisms.

Facile fabrication of cross-linked fluorescent organic nanoparticles with aggregation-induced emission characteristic via the thiol-ene click reaction and their potential for biological imaging
摘要： Over the past several years, the biomedical applications of fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FONs) with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) feature have been extensively explored because the AIE-active FONs could effectively overcome the aggregation caused quenching (ACQ) effect of FONs based on conventional organic dyes. The development of novel methods for synthesis of AIE-active FONs plays a centre role for their biomedical applications. In this work, we reported a facile one-step thiol-ene click reaction for fabrication of AIE-active FONs through conjugation of acrylated PEG and AIE-active tetraphenylethylene (TPE) with two ene bonds using pentaerythritol tetra(3-mercaptopropionate) as the linkage. The successful synthesis of TPE containing AIE-active copolymers was evidenced by various characterization techniques. The particle size and fluorescence properties of the resultant TPE-S-PEG copolymers were evaluated by transmission electronic microscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. Moreover, the cell viability and cell uptake behavior was also examined to evaluate their potential for biological imaging. We demonstrated that the cross-linked TPE-S-PEG show small size, high water dispersibility, low cytotoxicity and strong fluorescence for tracing. All of these advantages endow the TPE-S-PEG FONs great potential for biological imaging applications. Furthermore, this novel click reaction can take place under mild experimental conditions with high efficiency. It could be also further expanded for preparation of multifunctional AIE-active materials due to the universality of the thiol-ene click reaction and good precursor applicapability. Taken together, we have developed a novel and effective thiol-ene click reaction to fabricate the cross-linked AIE-active FONs, which display excellent physicochemical and biological properties and are promising for biomedical applications.

Gamma irradiated poly (methyl methacrylate)-reduced graphene oxide composite thin films for multifunctional applications
摘要： Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-Reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) (PrGO) composite films were fabricated by solvent evaporation technique and exposed to gamma radiation at different dosages viz. 25 kGy, 50 kGy and 100 kGy. The XRD analysis revealed the phases of PMMA and rGO and further confirmed the semi-crystalline nature of PMMA. The irradiation also decreased the peak intensities of the functional groups of PMMA and rGO. At 50 kGy irradiation, lamellar structures were formed on the surface of the films (50 kGy) due to the thermal fluctuations whereas, at higher dosage (100 kGy), pores were formed. The surface roughness and contact angle were enhanced on 50 kGy sample. The drug impregnated PrGO50 and PrGO100 samples showed sustained and burst release of drug respectively and in addition exhibited a better zone of inhibition against E. coli bacteria. All the samples were hemocompatible in nature. Fibroblast proliferation was enhanced with no cytotoxic effect on 50 kGy samples. Hence, the gamma irradiated samples could be an excellent candidate for biosensing and biomedical applications.

Structural, optical, and morphological stability of ZnO nano rods under shock wave loading conditions
摘要： Shock wave recovery experiment on crystalline materials is a hot research topic for aerospace applications. In this research article, authors present and demonstrate the stability of physical properties of ZnO nano rods (ZnO NRs) under shock wave loaded conditions. The test sample is synthesized by hydrothermal method and the shock waves were generated using a table top semi automatic pressure driven shock tube. A shock wave of 2.2 Mach number which has a transient pressure of 2.0 MPa and temperature 864 K was made to strike four test samples for the counts of 50,100,150 and 200, respectively. The shock loaded samples were subjected to XRD and optical analysis so as to understand the influence of shock waves in the structural and optical properties. The results show that ZnO NRs have magnificent molecular, optical, structural and morphological stability for 50,100 and 150 shocks. Though, when the number of shock pulses was increased to 200 and a blue shift was observed in UV-Vis spectrum, no changes in structural properties took place which was evidenced from XRD. From this shock wave recovery experiment, it is clear that ZnO NRs are highly stable against shock waves and hence this material is suggested for the aerospace and military applications.
