Nonlinear Optics || Stimulated Brillouin and Stimulated Rayleigh Scattering
摘要： We saw in Section 8.1 that light scattering can occur only as the result of fluctuations in the optical properties of a material system. A light-scattering process is said to be spontaneous if the fluctuations (typically in the dielectric constant) that cause the light-scattering are excited by thermal or by quantum-mechanical zero-point effects. In contrast, a light-scattering process is said to be stimulated if the fluctuations are induced by the presence of the light field. Stimulated light scattering is typically very much more efficient than spontaneous light scattering. For example, approximately one part in 105 of the power contained in a beam of visible light would be scattered out of the beam by spontaneous scattering in passing through 1 cm of liquid water. In this chapter, we shall see that when the intensity of the incident light is sufficiently large, essentially 100% of a beam of light can be scattered in a 1-cm path as the result of stimulated scattering processes.

Harnessing polymer grafting to control the shape of plasmonic nanoparticles
摘要： Matrix-free polymer grafted nanoparticles (NPs) are single component polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) for which the often reported severe aggregation of the conventional PNCs can be suppressed. For a given particle core, the size and shape of the polymer grafted nanoparticles can be controlled by the molecular weight of the polymer and its grafting density. However, the degree of homogeneity of one-component PNCs depends on the grafted chain molecular weight and grafting density, as well as on the shape of grafted NPs. Surface plasmon resonance enhanced dynamic light scattering from very dilute solutions, yielding both translational and rotational transport coefficients, complemented by UV–Vis extinction spectra, can detect deviations from spheres. Here, we report that poly(isobutylene)-grafted Ag NPs strongly deviate from the spherical shape and are modeled as prolate spheroids. This NP asphericity, due to inhomogeneous grafting, can impact the structure and properties of plasmonic PNCs in the solid state. Thus, characterizing this behavior is a crucial step prior to the formation of one-component PNCs.

Defect Complexes and Optical Properties of Doubly Doped Lithium Niobate Crystals
摘要： The effect of defect complexes related to the presence of protons on the optical properties of LiNbO3:Y(0.24):Mg(0.63) and LiNbO3:Gd(0.25):Mg(0.75) (wt %) crystals has been studied using IR absorption spectroscopy, photoinduced light scattering, and laser conoscopy. The results indicate that the absorption bands at frequencies of 3483 and 3486 cm–1 correspond to vibrations of a –OH? defect complex. To a M –M –OН– defect complex in the LiNbO3:Gd(0.25):Mg(0.75) crystal correspond bands at frequencies of 3526 and 3535 cm–1. In the LiNbO3:Y(0.24):Mg(0.63) crystal, we have detected an anomalous opening of the speckle structure of the photoinduced light scattering indicatrix.

Influence of the Nonlocal Effect on the Optical Properties of Nonspherical Plasmonic Semiconductor Nanoparticles
摘要： Noble metals are commonly used as plasmon materials because of their high density of free electrons, but semiconductor materials are also becoming of interesting in this field because its electron density can be varied by doping. Metal nitrides can be an alternative to noble metals because of their low absorption loss and high electron density. Among others, TiN and ZrN seem to be most suitable as alternative plasmonic materials because their optical properties are dominated by conduction electrons near the plasmon frequency. There is the flame spray pyrolysis process, which is currently developed to produce such kind of nanoparticles. In this paper, based on an extension of the discrete sources method, the effect of the hydrodynamic Drude model of the quantum nonlocal effect on the optical characteristics of semiconductor nanoparticles is analyzed. The influence of accounting for the nonlocal effect (NLE) on the optical properties under spherical particles deformation has been investigated. It has been shown that accounting for the NLE leads to a plasmon resonance blue shift and a damping similar to noble metals. It was found that smaller particles demonstrate larger NLE influence than larger ones. Besides, the influence of polarization on the local and nonlocal responses of 3D nonspherical semiconductor particles has been investigated as well. Using simulation accounting for the nonlocal effect, it is shown that the extinction of a nonspherical ZrN particles exceeds that of a gold particle.

Ultrathin TiO2-coated SiO2 nanoparticles as light scattering centers for quantum dot-sensitized solar cells
摘要： SiO2/TiO2 core/shell nanoparticles (ST-NPs) with an ultrathin and conformal TiO2 shell were fabricated via atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique with a specially-designed rotary reactor. We successfully employed the ST-NPs as light scattering centers in a mesoporous TiO2 photoanode in quantum dot (QD)-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs). ST-NPs enhanced the light scattering in the TiO2 photoanode without deterioration of QD loading behavior. Consequently, visible light absorbance was improved in the PbS QDs-sensitized TiO2 photoanode, and thus the photocurrent density increased from 14 to 17 mA/cm2. Detailed electron microscopy was utilized to reveal the uniqueness of the ultrathin TiO2 shell in ST-NPs, and in-depth electrochemical impedance spectroscopy divulged the increase in photogenerated carrier lifetime and improved recombination resistance for the QDSSC with ST-NPs.

Injection locking of multiple auto-oscillation modes in a tapered nanowire spin Hall oscillator
摘要： Spin Hall oscillators (SHO) are promising candidates for the generation, detection and amplification of high frequency signals, that are tunable through a wide range of operating frequencies. They offer to be read out electrically, magnetically and optically in combination with a simple bilayer design. Here, we experimentally study the spatial dependence and spectral properties of auto-oscillations in SHO devices based on Pt(7 nm)/Ni80Fe20(5 nm) tapered nanowires. Using Brillouin light scattering microscopy, we observe two individual self-localized spin-wave bullets that oscillate at two distinct frequencies (5.2 GHz and 5.45 GHz) and are localized at different positions separated by about 750 nm within the SHO. This state of a tapered SHO has been predicted by a Ginzburg-Landau auto-oscillator model, but not yet been directly confirmed experimentally. We demonstrate that the observed bullets can be individually synchronized to external microwave signals, leading to a frequency entrainment, linewidth reduction and increase in oscillation amplitude for the bullet that is selected by the microwave frequency. At the same time, the amplitude of other parasitic modes decreases, which promotes the single-mode operation of the SHO. Finally, the synchronization of the spin-wave bullets is studied as a function of the microwave power. We believe that our findings promote the realization of extended spin Hall oscillators accomodating several distinct spin-wave bullets, that jointly cover an extended range of tunability.

Invited Article: Bragg stacks with tailored disorder create brilliant whiteness
摘要： The scales of white beetles strongly scatter light within a thin disordered network of chitin filaments. There is no comparable artificial material achieving such a high scattering strength within a thin layer of low refractive index material. Several analyses investigated the scattering but could not explain the underlying concept. Here a model system is described, which has the same optical properties as the white beetles’ scales in the visible wavelength range. With some modification, it also explains the behavior of the structures in the near infrared range. The comparison of the original structure and the model system is done by finite-difference time-domain calculations. The calculations show excellent agreement with the beetles’ scales with respect to the reflectance, the time-of-flight, and the intensity distribution in the far-field.

Tailoring coupling between light and spin waves with dual photonic-magnonic resonant layered structures
摘要： We report on judiciously designed stratified periodic structures of magnetic dielectric materials with a localized defect layer, which are able to concurrently confine light and spin waves in the same ultra-small defect region for a long time period, thus resulting in enhanced photon-magnon interaction and large dynamic optical frequency shift. Our results for a specific realization of such a one-dimensional, so-called photomagnonic, crystal magnetized at saturation perpendicular to the interfaces, obtained by means of rigorous calculations using scattering-matrix techniques, show that the inherently weak coupling between visible/near-infrared light and GHz-frequency spin waves can be greatly increased leading to strong modulation of the optical field through multi-magnon exchange mechanisms. Such novel multifunctional composite materials offer a promising platform for tailoring light–spin-wave coupling in view of fast and energy-efficient spin-optical information processing applications.

Optical and Electrical Performance of ZnO Films Textured by Chemical Etching
摘要： Zinc oxide (ZnO) films were prepared by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering on the glass substrate as transparent conductive oxide films. For silicon solar cells, a proper surface texture is essential to introduce light scattering and subsequent light trapping to enhance the current generation. In this study, the magnetron-sputtered ZnO films were textured by wet-chemical etching in diluted hydrochloric acid (HCl) for better light scattering. The diffuse transmittance of the surface textured ZnO films was measured to evaluate the light scattering. The influence of hydrochloric acid concentration on the morphology, optical and electrical properties of the surface-textured ZnO film was investigated. The ZnO film etched in 0.05M HCl solution for 30 s exhibited average diffuse transmittance in the visible wavelength range of 9.52 % and good resistivity of 1.10 x 10-3 Ω·cm while the as-deposited ZnO film had average diffuse transmittance of 0.51 % and relatively high resistivity of 5.84 x 10-2 Ω·cm. Experimental results illustrated that the optical and electrical performance of ZnO films can be significantly improved by introducing the surface texture through the wet-chemical etching process.

Highly Efficient Tandem White OLED Using a Hollow Structure
摘要： A simple fabrication method for a light extraction layer is required. In this report, an internal light extraction layer composed of a high refractive index material and an air void is fabricated in five steps. A direct printing process followed by annealing of the randomly arrayed poly(benzyl methacrylate) pillars after a planarization process using TiO2-nanoparticle dispersed resist and sol is used. These substrates are used for light extraction in white tandem organic light emitting diodes (WOLEDs). By combining the hollow structure and hemi-spherical lens, WOLEDs without and with the light extraction structures are found to show maximum external quantum efficiencies of 35.6% and 103%, respectively. The power efficiencies at 100 cd m?2 of the WOLEDs without and with the light extraction structures are found to be 26.5 and 93.2 lm W?1, respectively. A color rendering index of 86.4, correlated color temperature of 4860 K, and CIE of (0.353, 0.389) are achieved in the WOLEDs with light extraction structures.
