It is in demand to efficiently synthesize YAG:Ce3+ nanocrystals of a small size. Pulse laser ablation is an approach to produce nanoparticles directly from bulk materials with the advantages of smaller particle sizes and lower production costs. Here, we present the synthesis of YAG:Ce3+ nanocrystals from bulk crystal using the femtosecond laser ablation method in liquid. Comparing the liquid environment, we demonstrated that the lauryl dimethylaminoacetic acid betain (LDA) aqueous solution is preferred for the formation of smaller-sized YAG:Ce3+ nanoparticles than deionized water due to the attractiveness between the LDA molecules and the YAG:Ce3+ nanoparticles. We also verified that the high laser repetition rate had no effect on the average size of YAG:Ce3+ nanocrystals, where the fragmentation process is saturated under a high laser repetition rate. This study provides a simple and effective method to synthesize small size YAG:Ce3+ nanoparticles by femtosecond laser ablation in liquid.","PeriodicalId":19548,"journal":{"name":"Optical Materials Express","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141863674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We obtained a maximum average absorption of 72.6% for our proposed square hole Si absorber structure. The power conversion efficiency and short circuit current density were calculated to be 20.74% and 39.91 mA/cm2. We achieved polarization-insensitive performance due to the symmetrical nature of the structure. The temperature of our proposed structure was increased by ∼10 K due to light absorption for different ambient temperatures. Moreover, we found our proposed structure was thermally stable over time. Our proposed structures can enhance the absorption of Si nanostructures, which can be conducive to designing Si-thin solar cells for energy harvesting.","PeriodicalId":19548,"journal":{"name":"Optical Materials Express","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141872879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multilayer Laue lenses (MLLs) are diffraction-based X-ray optics that can focus XFEL beams, as already demonstrated with tungsten carbide/silicon carbide (WC/SiC)-based MLLs. However, high atomic number materials such as tungsten strongly absorb X-rays, resulting in high heat loads. Numerical simulations predict much lower heat loads in MLLs consisting of low atomic number Z materials, although such MLLs have narrower rocking curve widths. In this paper, we first screen various multilayer candidates and then focus on Mo2C/SiC multilayer due to its high diffraction efficiency. According to numerical simulations, the maximum temperature in this multilayer should remain below 300°C if the MLL made out of this multilayer is exposed to an XFEL beam of 17.5 keV photon energy, 1 mJ energy per pulse and 10 kHz pulse repetition rate. To understand the thermal stability of the Mo2C/SiC multilayer, we performed a study on the multilayers of three different periods (1.5, 5, and 12 nm) and different Mo2C to SiC ratios. We monitored their periods, crystallinity, and stress as a function of annealing temperature for two different heating rates. The results presented in this paper indicate that Mo2C/SiC-based MLLs are viable for focusing XFEL beams without being damaged under these conditions.","PeriodicalId":19548,"journal":{"name":"Optical Materials Express","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141863673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method provides reliable results even at relatively low THz frequencies, where other characterization methods, such as THz time-domain spectroscopy, have difficulties. To illustrate the capabilities of our approach, we used pulse trains with 800-fs long pulses and adjustable time delay to investigate the material properties of periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal with a poling period of 400 µm. Via scanning the incident pulse-train frequency, we measured the frequency response of the crystal at different temperatures (78-350 K), which enabled us to determine the temperature dependence of the refractive index and thermo-optic coefficient of the PPLN crystal around 275 GHz with very high precision. We further studied the variation of THz generation efficiency with temperature in detail to understand the temperature dependence of THz absorption in PPLN material. The technique employed is quite general and could be applied to both other frequency ranges and nonlinear crystals.","PeriodicalId":19548,"journal":{"name":"Optical Materials Express","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141872881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The group velocity of the topological guided mode hosted in a VPhC heterostructure can be slowed down by shifting the VPhC lattice toward the graphene-like PhC at the domain interfaces. Simultaneously, the mode width of the slow-light topological guided mode can be widened by increasing the size of the graphene-like PhC domain. We found that employing the graphene-like structure at the center domain is crucial for realizing a topological single-guided mode in such heterostructures. Furthermore, the impact of random fluctuations in air-hole size in the graphene-like domain was numerically investigated. Our simulation results demonstrate that the transmittance for the slow-light states can be kept high as far as the size fluctuation is small although it drops faster than that for fast-light states when the disorder level increases. The designed wide-mode-area slow-light waveguides are based on hole-based PhCs, offering novel on-chip applications of topological waveguides.","PeriodicalId":19548,"journal":{"name":"Optical Materials Express","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141872880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the ultraviolet imprinting and solvent evaporation processes, the nano/submicron-sized air pores are generated within the polymer prism structure, and micropatterns spontaneously form on the prism surface. The inner pores ranging from 30 to 450 nm can effectively scatter light to mitigate color shift, which is caused by multiple internal reflections within the prism structure. The micropatterns have multiple rings formed one around another with 5–15-µm diameter on the prism surface improve visual quality. Moreover, the obtained functions are achieved in a single film solution, obviating the need for using multiple materials, and the fabrication process is relatively simple and fast as it is conducted under ambient conditions. When the pBEF is integrated into a liquid-crystal display backlight, it provides the brightness enhancement performance and comparable viewing angle distribution of a regular BEF combined with an additional diffuser (two films) and increases brightness by ∼8% compared to a bead prism (particle-based BEF). Additionally, it reduces the redshift (Δxy) from 0.1605 to 0.1415. Furthermore, the pBEF exhibits a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than the regular BEF.","PeriodicalId":19548,"journal":{"name":"Optical Materials Express","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141863760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
