In contrast to the approximate expressions derived earlier by other authors, exact analytical solutions depending on the reflection coefficients of the PC mirrors have been found. These equations are also an alternative to a more direct calculation of the DM wavelengths via reflection or transmission spectra of the whole structure. The main difference from this method is that the conventional method requires finding the DMs at the particular DL thicknesses while our method allows calculation of the necessary DL thicknesses for any desired DM wavelength. Also, analytical condition for the DM merging in PC with two DLs has been derived for the first time. Furthermore, the results obtained previously by other researchers concerning the merging of DMs as the number of layers in the central part of a PC with two DLs increases have been summarized and explained. Moreover, the analytical condition of the maximum amplitude of DMs was obtained for the first time. The results of this research permit the simplification of the analysis of optical sensors and filters based on 1D PCs with two DLs, as well as a more comprehensive understanding of the DM behavior within the PBGs of such structures.

Then, the fiber taper-sphere is wrapped by a PDMS sphere, and the proposed fiber sensing probe is obtained. The diameter of PDMS sphere is 950 μm. In the whole process of preparation, only a fusion splicer and a temperature box are used. Because the PDMS surrounds the fiber taper-sphere firmly, the mechanical strength of the proposed fiber sensing probe is good. With the transverse load and the temperature varying, the shifts of two interference peaks in spectrum are monitored. The transverse load sensitivities can reach 1756.7 nm/N and 1780.1 nm/N, and the temperature sensitivities are 789.1 pm/℃ and 644.7 pm/℃, respectively. Both the transverse load and the temperature can be measured simultaneously by using the method of sensing matrix.

For this purpose, a femtosecond laser (1030 nm, 220 fs) was employed to irradiate the Al targets under air and vacuum environments at different laser irradiances ranging from 1.8 TWcm<sup>−2</sup> to 5.4 TWcm<sup>−2</sup>. LIBS analysis shows that optical intensity of emission spectra and plasma parameters (electron temperature “T<sub>e</sub>” and electron number density “n<sub>e</sub>”) are increased with increasing the laser irradiances of Al plasma under both environments. The electron temperature is evaluated by using both Boltzmann and Saha Boltzmann distributions, whereas electron density is evaluated by using Stark broadening. With increasing laser irradiances, the values of T<sub>e</sub> of Al plasma increases from 8061 K to 8745 K under vacuum environment, whereas, for air T<sub>e</sub> increases from 8203 K to 8874 K. In case of Saha Boltzmann plot, the values of T<sub>e</sub> under vacuum vary from 8467 K to 8949 K and in air environment the estimated values of T<sub>e</sub> increases from the 8600 K to 9027 K. Likewise, the values of n<sub>e</sub> of Al plasma vary from 8.52 x 10<sup>18</sup> cm<sup>−3</sup> to 9.22 x 10<sup>18</sup> cm<sup>−3</sup> under vacuum environmental condition, while in case of air, the values of n<sub>e</sub> vary from 8.72 x 10<sup>18</sup> cm<sup>−3</sup> to 9.38 x 10<sup>18</sup> cm<sup>−3</sup>. Slightly higher values of Al plasma parameters in air as compared to vacuum are explainable on the basis of confinement effect offered by 760 Torr atmospheric pressure. The air environment restricts free expansion of Al plasma that results into enhanced rate of collisional excitation, recombination with increased life time of plasma that slows down the plasma plume. The laser-target interaction process of air also causes exothermic reactions of reactive gases (H<sub>2</sub>, O<sub>2</sub>, CO<sub>2</sub> etc) which are responsible for enhanced energy coupling to target in addition to laser energy deposition which in turn increases ablation rate and evaporation of the target. The increasing trends of emission intensity and plasma parameters with the increasing laser irradiances are attributed to enhanced mass ablation rate due to more energy deposition that increases the excitation and de-excitation within the plasma. The higher values of Al plasma parameters under certain environments make it more beneficial for various applications including surface structuring, electron ion implantation, pulse laser deposition of thin films and other industrial applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19513,"journal":{"name":"Optik","volume":"324 ","pages":"Article 172214"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143178887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
