Grating rings

The remaining chapters cover the published literature on the common heterocycles systematically according to ring size and the heteroatoms present. We are delighted to welcome several new contributors to this volume and we thank all the authors for their expert coverage. We are also grateful to Adrian Shell of Elsevier Science for supervising the publication of the volume, and especially for his efforts to reduce the production time. 

The DFB grating concept was extended to higher dimensions. Two-dimensional (2D) gratings can be made in a variety of forms, from the simple overlapping of two orthogonal gratings up to concentric rings, or more complicated structures. In modern theory, they can be treated as 2D photonic crystals. 

Polyoxymethylene, also referred to as acetal resin or POM, is obtained either by anionic polymerization of formaldehyde or cationic ring-opening copolymerization of trioxane with a small amount of a cyclic ether or acetal (e.g., ethylene oxide or 1,3-dioxolane) [Cherdron et al., 1988 Dolce and Grates, 1985 Yamasaki et al., 2001]. The properties and uses of POM have been discussed in Sec. 5-6d. 

I am grateful to professors Ring T. Carde and Jocelyn G. Millar for critically reading the manuscript. 

The exit slit shown in Fig. 1.11 is characterized by its length and width. Since the grating disperses the white synchrotron radiation into a plane perpendicular to that of the electron storage ring, the slit width in this direction is the relevant one and determines the wavelength range of transmitted, i.e., monochromatized synchrotron radiation. 

Alkanes and Aromatics. The distinction between aromatic and poly-cyclic was arbitrarily set at three conjugated six-member rings in Table I. With this definition the alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons, with 25 entries, dominate the list of identified components. These compounds are also present in the highest concentration in the different effluents. Ordinarily their concentrations were not measured because of a low interest in these kinds of compounds but in those instances where measurements were made, the amounts ranged from 10-1500 ng/M3 in the vapor phase and from 10-90 ng/g on the suspended particles in the stack effluents. These hydrocarbons were not quantitated for any of the fly and grate ash samples. 

I am particularly grateful to Professor Ben van der Veken (University of Antwerp) who has obtained new spectra, with an infrared interferometer, which are shown in Figures 6.8, 6.27, 6.28 and 6.34, and to Dr Andrew Orr-Ewing (University of Bristol), who provided original copies of the cavity ring-down spectra in Figures 9.38 and 9.39. 

Experimental setup for the measurement of stimulated Raman spectra. The distance. sris measured from the grating to the wall or viewing screen. The diffracted beams show the pattern of the beams involving the vi ring stretching vibration of benzene not shown are additional weak features that may be seen involving the VICH or CD stretching vibrations.
