These circumstances can arise from a simple metal mirror, to more complex structures such as layered structures composed of different metals or a metal and a conducting oxide. Using a modified hydrodynamic model we examine the simple case of a metal mirror, assuming the surface is characterized by an electron cloud that spills out into vacuum and shields the internal portions of the remaining medium. We also assess the relative importance of additional nonlinear sources that arise when a free electron discontinuity is present, and show that under the right circumstances both second and third harmonic generation can be very sensitive to the nature, density and thickness of the free electron cloud. Our findings suggest the possibility to control surface harmonic generation through surface charge engineering.","PeriodicalId":294758,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Photonics, Optics and Laser Technology","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125277596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, the electroluminescence (EL) intensity of the QCL was increased by a factor of 1.4 by including a structure that made the light-emitting layer barrier thin calculated using the simulator. The NEGF is used to calculate the electron density existing in the QCL and the laser gain. To examine the validity of wavelength calculation, we calculated the oscillation wavelengths for the seven types of film structure in the 3 to 9 µm band in our references, and compared them with the experimental results. As a result, the difference between them was well below 0.36 µm. Furthermore, the film structure for increasing the gain was calculated on the basis of the structure reported in one of the references. The gain was increased 1.17 to 1.28 times by reducing the thicknesses of the barriers by 10%. The QCLs with this film structure were prototyped and their EL output intensity was measured. It was confirmed that the EL output intensity output was improved and the film structure design obtained using the simulator was effective.","PeriodicalId":294758,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Photonics, Optics and Laser Technology","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114619352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Raman spectra were acquired with a 785 nm excitation laser at 40 mW and using an integration time of 2 s. The Raman spectra for normal and tumor mouse mammary glands are presented and compared with literature results. The Raman spectrum of normal mammary mouse gland is dominated by lipid signatures. On the other hand, the Raman spectrum of tumor mammary gland is dominated by DNA and protein signatures. The molecular information obtained by using Raman spectroscopy can be fundamental for a more precise and complete diagnosis of tumors, for intraoperative assessment of tumors margins during surgeries and for tumors grade classification.","PeriodicalId":294758,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Photonics, Optics and Laser Technology","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122400651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The second approach is based on the estimation of a corner of a prismatic shape and utilizes thin horizontal slices of the shape’s point cloud. The corner’s location is estimated as an intersection of two straight lines best fitted to the point clouds before and after the corner. It was shown that for both approaches a sub-millimetre accuracy can be achieved. The first approach requires the installation of two laser targets in order to measure the change of the distance between them. The second approach offers more flexibility because it does not require the installation of a laser target.
