The material used in this study is Nylon 6, all set in square sheet thin films samples of 100 cm2 with 15 μm thickness. Our optical setup is based on deliver the laser beam all the way through the work piece using X-Y scanning mirrors mounted on galvo-like motors and an f-theta lens with 15 cm focal length and 50 μm focal spot sizes. The fluence (laser energy) is controlled by a pulse signal generator having the possibility to change the pulse repetition rate (PRR) and the pulse width (PW) of the laser beam. Our results show the best weld seam for scanning speeds of 20mm/s and the pulsed laser beam with 2 KHz PRR and 80 μs for the PW time. The scanning speed and trajectory for the welding process are all controlled by a computer in which one can modify the weld parameters. The irradiance at the focal point is set to 1.146 MW/cm2 while the average optical power was set to 22.5W. Our experimental parameters are previously modeled by using COMSOL Multiphysics software were the laser heat source is modeled on the selected material. This model is based on the heat transfer partial differential equation and solved by finite elements procedure. Model results show a perfect agreement with the experiments. Finally, the quality of the welded seam is studied by means of sealed tight and share force critical mechanical test.","PeriodicalId":359625,"journal":{"name":"Symposium on Optics in Industry","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130969480","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}

As a particular application, phase extraction can be used to evaluate the chromatic dispersion coefficient in optical fibers. There are multiple setups that employ the phase of an interferometric signal to evaluate this coefficient. Usually in those systems the phase shift evaluation of the sine-like interferometric signal is performed measuring the shift of a single maximum. This means that only a few points in the interferogram are used and many other are wasted. In this work a Fourier Transform method to obtain interferogram phase shift to evaluate chromatic dispersion of an optical fiber is presented. Results of the dispersion coefficient of fiber with a length of hundreds of meters evaluated by using a Sagnac interferometer are shown.","PeriodicalId":359625,"journal":{"name":"Symposium on Optics in Industry","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125686092","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}

X ray diffraction showed that films with high percentage oxygen concentration (10- 18 %) have a phase segregation of Sb2Te3.

The substrate can be either vacuum or conductor. The diffracted and scattered patterns, the transmission and reflection coefficients, and the normally diffracted energy are analyzed as a function of several optogeometrical parameters. Particularly, the coupling between slits and the influence of the substrate is considered. We have found that, when the substrate is a conductor the grating equation in reflection predicts with good precision the angular positions of the orders of a finite grating; the angular positions of these orders are independents of the beam width, the spot position on the finite grating, and the conductivity of the substrate. Besides, the envelope of the reflected energy is conserved constant when the position of the spot is changed.","PeriodicalId":359625,"journal":{"name":"Symposium on Optics in Industry","volume":"249 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131581888","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 stimulated emission cross section, the fluorescence full width at half maximum (FWHM), Δλeff, the Δλeff x σe factor, and the gain spectra of the main Er3+-ion lasing emission (4I13/2→4I15/2) are obtained after exciting the glass sample at 532 nm (4I15/2 →4S3/2 ).

The results are compared with those reported for other Er3+-doped oxide glasses pumped at various excitation wavelengths, indicating the new Er3+- doped boro-tellurite glass has potential properties as an optical amplifier in the C-telecommunication window (1.53 μm) and a IR tunable laser.
