The optical absorption coefficient of amorphous and microcrystalline silicon was determined in a spectral range 400-3100 nm and a temperature range 77-350 K. Transmittance measurement and Fourier transform photocurrent spectroscopy were used. The measured ...
Due to its simplicity, the theory of KUBELKA-MUNK [1] has found a wide acceptance for modeling the optical properties of light scattering materials. However, the concept is not explicitly adapted to predict halftone prints on paper. In this respect, a rece ...
Two methods for measuring the optical properties of tissue, i.e. reduced scattering and absorption coefficient, were developed. The first one was designed for in vitro investigations. It is based on the measurement of the spatially resolved transmittance t ...
We investigate numerically the spectrum of plasmon resonances for metallic nanowires with a non-regular cross-section in the 20-50 nm range. After briefly recalling the physical properties of metals at optical frequencies, we point out the intrinsic diffic ...
The authors present the case for exploiting time-resolved x-ray absorption to study structural dynamics in the liq. phase. With this aim in mind and considering the large differences between absorption coeffs. in the optical and the x-ray domains as well a ...
We report on time-resolved and steady-state photoluminescence studies of GaAs/AlGaAs V-groove quantum wire structures. Steady-state photoluminescence experiments are performed in the temperature range from 8 to 200 It. We evaluate the relation between phot ...
We compare three different approaches to high-resolution contact lithography with special emphasis on contrast mechanisms for subwavelength structures. Masks with protruding metal absorbers, masks with absorbers embedded in the transparent background, and ...
A non-invasive method to measure the optical properties of a turbid medium such as biological tissue is described. To determine the absorption and reduced scattering coefficient, the sample is illuminated with spatially intensity modulated light and the ba ...
Local and superficial near-infrared (NIR) optical-property characterization of turbid biological tissues can be achieved by measurement of spatially resolved diffuse reflectance at small source–detector separations (
An optical modulator is arranged to compensate for the thermo-optical modulating effects induced by charge-injection based phase modulators. It comprises first modulator means (3), that receive optical radiation (11, 21), direct it along an optical path, a ...
