Passively Q-switched fiber laser tunable by Sagnac interferometer operation
摘要： In this paper, a stable passively Q-switched Erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) tunable by Sagnac interferometer operation was described by using a graphene oxide saturable absorber (SA) as a Q-switcher. The wavelength operation of the Q-switched EDFL was tunable from 1566.3 nm to 1559.3 nm by increasing the temperature of sagnac loop mirror (SLM) from 30 °C to 70 °C in the figure-of-eight laser configuration. At 1566.3 nm operation, by increasing the pump from the threshold power of 77.3 mW to 126.5 mW, the repetition rate can be increased from 30.7 kHz to 41.5 kHz while the pulse width was narrowed from 10.2 to 7.3 μs. The Q-switching threshold pump power increased with the increase of the temperature, which then shifted the operation to a shorter wavelength. However, the laser efficiency increased at a shorter wavelength operation. At 1561.4 nm operation, the maximum pulse energy of 20.5 nJ was obtained at 161.0 mW pump power.

Polarization induced non-reciprocal phase controlled all-fiber loop mirror based inclinometer
摘要： An optical fiber inclinometer based on non-reciprocal phase change effect in a single-mode fiber loop mirror (FLM) is proposed. The phase of light waves in FLM is controlled by two-phase shifters (PSs). The relationship between the inclination angles and phase differences of the two-PSs, and transmitted light power was derived by Jones calculus. The signature of the birefringence obtained through simulation on the output light has been confirmed by experimentation. From the results, it was found that when the birefringence of the two-PSs are different, two measurement sensitivities (17.07 × 10?3 deg?1 and 21.37 × 10?3 deg?1) can be realized with one angle measurement system. We also report a method for changing measurable ranges, and measurement sensitivity. Since the angle can be directly measured from the transmitted light power, the results of this work contribute to the realization of simple and low-loss inclinometers using standard single-mode fiber.

Sub-milliampere-threshold continuous wave operation of GaN-based vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser with lateral optical confinement by curved mirror
摘要： The continuous wave operation of a gallium-nitride-based vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (GaN-based VCSEL) that uses boron ion implantation for lateral current confinement and a curved mirror for lateral optical confinement was investigated. The threshold current was 0.25 mA (Jth = 3.5 kA cm?2) for a 3 μm diameter current aperture at room temperature and the lasing wavelength was 445.3 nm. This is the lowest threshold current recorded for a GaN-based VCSEL. This result is considered to be a milestone for the further miniaturization of GaN-based VCSELs by the implementation of lateral optical confinement due to the incorporation of a curved mirror.

Superior light harnessing and charge injection kinetics utilizing mirror-like nano cuboidal ceria coupled with reduced graphene oxide in zinc oxide nanoparticle based photovoltaics
摘要： Efficiency in nanoparticle based photovoltaics is limited by optical transparency, light absorption as well as detrimental back transfer of electron at the hetero-interfaces. Three dimensional (3D) micro/nanostructures with excellent light scattering properties play pivotal role in light harvesting efficiency in DSSCs. Present study deals with the design and development of ternary hybrid photoanode utilizing high quality mirror like nano-cuboidal ceria (CeO2 NC) and 2D- reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets in conjunction with ZnO nanoparticle. A ～6% power conversion efficiency has been achieved for photoanode with optimized CeO2 NC loaded with 1 wt% RGO into ZnO NP. CeO2 NC owing to its size and high quality mirror like facets provides a better light harvesting by multiple interactions of incident photon with the absorber as revealed by UV–Vis diffused reflectance and IPCE analysis. 2D- RGO is proposed to act as an electron sink and provides faster electron transport pathway. Inclusion of 2D- RGO sheets yields a better charge injection kinetics (keinj ～ 2.3 × 108 s?1 for ternary, 1.1 × 108 s?1 for reference device) and collection at FTO as well as elevated recombination resistance (Rrec) and photo-induced electron life time (τe), unveiled by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopic (EIS) analysis corroborates a reduced reverse tunneling of photo-injected electron at ZnO/sensitizer/redox couple interface.

Nano-mirror embedded back reflector layer (BRL) for advanced light management in thin silicon solar cells
摘要： This work illustrates a technology for advanced light management by introducing a nonconventional back reflector layer (BRL) in amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cells. To meet this, silver sulfide (Ag2S) nanoparticles with ~50 nm diameter have been chosen as the nano-mirror owing to its low parasitic absorption loss over a broad wavelength (300 to 1100 nm) region. The Ag2S NPs were sandwiched between two indium tin oxide (ITO) layer and placed as the back reflector layer of an a-Si:H solar cell to achieve better light trapping within the active layers. The embedded structure exhibited high reflectance (up to 93%) in the red and near-infrared region, the main working zone of a-Si:H cells. With the incorporation of such state of the art back reflector structure in a-Si:H solar cells, a photo-conversion efficiency of 10.58% has been achieved; which is one of the best in this class.

A Review of Conventional and Innovative- Sustainable Methods for Cleaning Reflectors in Concentrating Solar Power Plants
摘要： The severe soiling of re?ectors deployed in arid and semi arid locations decreases their re?ectance and drives down the yield of the concentrating solar power (CSP) plants. To alleviate this issue, various sets of methods are available. The operation and maintenance (O&M) staff should opt for sustainable cleaning methods that are safe and environmentally friendly. To restore high re?ectance, the cleaning vehicles of CSP plants must adapt to the constraints of each technology and to the layout of re?ectors in the solar ?eld. Water based methods are currently the most commonly used in CSP plants but they are not sustainable due to water scarcity and high soiling rates. The recovery and reuse of washing water can compensate for these methods and make them a more reasonable option for mediterranean and desert environments. Dry methods, on the other hand, are gaining more attraction as they are more suitable for desert regions. Some of these methods rely on ultrasonic wave or vibration for detaching the dust bonding from the re?ectors surface, while other methods, known as preventive methods, focus on reducing the soiling by modifying the re?ectors surface and incorporating self cleaning features using special coatings. Since the CSP plants operators aim to achieve the highest pro?t by minimizing the cost of cleaning while maintaining a high re?ectance, optimizing the cleaning parameters and strategies is of great interest. This work presents the conventional water-based methods that are currently used in CSP plants in addition to sustainable alternative methods for dust removal and soiling prevention. Also, the cleaning effectiveness, the environmental impacts and the economic aspects of each technology are discussed.

Attosecond Pulse Shaping by Multilayer Mirrors
摘要： The emerging research field of attosecond science allows for the temporal investigation of one of the fastest dynamics in nature: electron dynamics in matter. These dynamics are responsible for chemical and biological processes, and the ability to understand and control them opens a new door of fundamental science, with the possibility to influence all lives if medical issues can thereby be addressed. Multilayer optics are key elements in attosecond experiments; they are used to tailor attosecond pulses with well-defined characteristics to facilitate detailed and accurate insight into processes, e.g., photoemission, Auger decay, or (core-) excitons. Based on the investigations and research efforts from the past several years, multilayer mirrors today are routinely used optical elements in attosecond beamlines. As a consequence, the generation of ultrashort pulses, combined with their dispersion control, has proceeded from the femtosecond range in the visible/infrared spectra to the attosecond range, covering the extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray photon range up to the water window. This article reviews our work on multilayer optics over the past several years, as well as the impact from other research groups, to reflect on the scientific background of their nowadays routine use in attosecond physics.

A study of methods to enhance infrared emissivity of Molybdenum surfaces
摘要： Single crystal Molybdenum is one of the most promising materials for the First Mirror (FM) of ITER optical diagnostics due to its high resistance to erosion under neutral atom bombardment. Other advantages are: low CTE, high thermal conductivity, and advantageous mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. The FMs are normally located in the front-end of ITER port plugs, being subject to volumetric heat loads up to ～1 W/cm3 and higher. Active cooling of Mo mirrors by water or gas flow has limited applicability due to remote handling, integration and risk requirements. An athermal design with radiative cooling was developed for the H-alpha FM unit (FMU) with an all-Mo/TZM structure comprising a TZM housing, two Mo mirrors and the TZM cleaning electrodes. The main idea is to minimize mirror angular displacements and to keep the alignment at temperatures up to ～350 °C. That requires a balance between thermal contact and radiative heat sinks. The most uniform temperature profile is obtained by weak thermal contact between FMU and support structure, but that leads to the highest FM temperature, since the normal as-milled Mo surface has a very low effective emissivity (ε < 0.1 at 200…400 °C). Well-known tools for surface blackening are: enhanced roughness, oxidation, V-grooving, and coatings, which should be analyzed for outgassing rate, thermal radiation and long-term stability in Hydrogen environment. In this study, a number of techniques to enhance Mo surface effective emissivity were tested: V-grooving, detonation spray coating, drilling and surface electro-erosion. Spectral emissivity of the test samples was measured by Bruker Vertex-70 infrared Fourier spectrometer and the effective values were derived for subsequent thermal analyses. Alumina coatings were found to be the most effective tool with ε ≈ 0.8…0.9. However, V-grooving and drilling also provide acceptable results (εeff ≈ 0.25…0.3) and do not require qualification for applicability to ITER. The trade-off between different techniques is discussed in detail.

An interferometric structure with a dual-resonance long period grating for strain sensing
摘要： Spectral characteristics and amplitude tunability of a long period grating with a dual-resonance inside fiber loop mirror are studied in terms of applied stress caused by elongation. Inserting the polarization controller between grating and part of polarization maintaining fiber in the loop structure enables tuning of resonance and interferometric peaks. The maximum sensitivity of demonstrated sensor is of 1.943 dB/mε for the range of 1.1–4.4 mε. Combination of these two optical components allows to measure strain in a wider range comparing with sensors based on standard long period grating.

Fracture strength of silicon torsional mirror resonators fully coated with submicrometer-thick PECVD DLC film
摘要： In this work, we attempted to enhance the torsional fracture strength of single crystal silicon (SCS) resonators for micro mirrors application by introducing a 300 nm-thick diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating. The SCS torsional beams of the resonators were 20 μm wide and 9 μm thick, and fully coated with DLC films using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) at three different deposition bias voltages. The resonators were driven by a piezoelectric actuator and their angular amplitude was measured by a custom-made torsional test system. Average nominal torsional fracture strength of DLC coated resonators was 11.1–30.0% higher than that of bare SCS, reaching a value of 2.93 GPa. The torsional fracture strength of resonators exhibited a good agreement with the tensile fracture strength. Deviations in torsional strength were reduced with increasing deposition bias voltage due to the compressive residual stress of DLC films.
