The different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum result in diverse effects upon interaction with matter: according to the wavelength, the radiation has energy appropriate for the excitation of a specific physical process. X-rays can be used as a tool to ...
Lead chalcogenide (IV-VI narrow-gap semiconductor) layers on Si or BaF2(111) substrates are employed to realize two mid-infrared optoelectronic devices for the first time. A tunable resonant cavity enhanced detector is realized by employing a movable mirro ...
The mid-infrared range is of interest in spectroscopic applications, due to the large number of organic compounds that exhibit characteristic absorption bands in this spectral region. Semiconductor technology, however, has been developed mainly for the nea ...
This is the first part of the two articles reporting investigation of a thermal detector-type far-infrared sensor operating in the 8–14µm wavelength, using Low-Pressure-Chemical-Vapor-Deposition (LPCVD)- deposited low-stress Si-rich nitride (SiN)membrane a ...
This is the second part of two articles reporting investigation on a thermal-detector-type far-infrared sensor operating in the 8–14 µm wavelength region using Low-Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (LPCVD) deposited low-stress Si-rich nitride (SiN) membra ...
A record 730 nm parametric conversion in silica fiber from the near-infrared to the short-wave infrared band is reported and analyzed. A parametric gain in excess of 30 dB was measured for a signal at 1300 nm (with corresponding idler at 2030 nm). This con ...
Single mols. that act as light-energy transducers (e.g., converting the energy of a photon into at.-level mech. motion) are examples of minimal mol. devices. Here, we focus on a mol. switch designed by merging a conformationally locked diarylidene skeleton ...
Infrared scanning near-field optical microscopy is used to detect AMPA-type glutamate receptor clusters in hippocampal neuron cells. AMPA's GluR2-subunits were marked with the fluorophore Alexa488 and high-resolution micrographs were taken at 6.25 µm wavel ...
A new polydentate tripodal ligand T2soxMe was synthesized to take advantage of the chelating effect of tridentate 8- hydroxyquinolinate subunits. Potentiometric and spectrophotometric titrations reveal seven pKa values of between 3.7 and 10.2. In water, th ...
700nm parametric conversion in silica fiber from near-infrared to short-wave infrared band is reported for the first time. The conversion efficiency in excess of 40dB was measured between 1300nm signal and 2000nm idler band. ...
