Solid state optical devices

By the sol-gel-process, inorganic glassy and hybrid polymeric materials are accessible at comparatively low temperatures [1], Therefore, organic molecules or dyes can easily be incorporated into the oxide matrix. This combination is especially attractive for the development of the following devices optical filters, solid-state lasers, optical switches, nonlinear optical laser hosts, optical data storage media, and photoconductive devices and films [2].

Not a solid-state measurement device but an optical probe of high-intensity laser light is introduced into the fluid under investigation, avoiding disturbance on the flow field. 

The substituted five-ring OPVs have been processed into poly crystal line thin films by vacuum deposition onto a substrate from the vapor phase. Optical absorption and photolumincscence of the films are significantly different from dilute solution spectra, which indicates that intermolecular interactions play an important role in the solid-state spectra. The molecular orientation and crystal domain size can be increased by thermal annealing of the films. This control of the microstruc-ture is essential for the use of such films in photonic devices. 

All of the optical and infrared focal plane arrays are solid state electronic devices, and to fully understand their physics and operation, one should have a solid foundation in the solid state electronics. An excellent reference is ... 

One application of modem solid-state electronic devices is semiconductor materials that convert electrical energy into light. These light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are used for visual displays and solid-state lasers. Many indicator lights are LEDs, and diode lasers read compact discs in a CD player. The field of diode lasers is expanding particularly rapidly, driven by such applications as fiber optic telephone transmission. 

Four different types of tasks are performed by automation. Two involve the sequencing of valves and pumps Involved 1n the setup and completion of the designed experiment through the operation of the test and hydraulic fluid systems. The other tasks involve the control of the temperature bath and data collection. To perform these tasks, a1r-actuated solenoids and optically coupled sol Id-state relays are used. These devices are controlled by an electrical circuit consisting of the device connected 1n series with a power supply and a channel on the actuator card In the HP 3497. The power supply 1s either 24 VDC for use with the solenoids or 5 VDC for the solid-state relays. The actuator output channel acts as a simple on/off switch which allows power to be supplied to the solenoid or relay when closed. The logic of the circuit 1s controlled by application programs running on the local HP 1000. 

The chapters cover the following areas (i) use of coordination complexes in all types of catalysis (Chapters 1-11) (ii) applications related to the optical properties of coordination complexes, which covers fields as diverse as solar cells, nonlinear optics, display devices, pigments and dyes, and optical data storage (Chapters 12-16) (iii) hydrometallurgical extraction (Chapter 17) (iv) medicinal and biomedical applications of coordination complexes, including both imaging and therapy (Chapters 18-22) and (v) use of coordination complexes as precursors to semiconductor films and nanoparticles (Chapter 23). As such, the material in this volume ranges from solid-state physics to biochemistry. 

Photons in quantum optical cavities also constitute excellent qubit candidates [52]. Resonant coupling of atoms with a single mode of the radiation field was experimentally achieved 25 years ago [53], and eventually the coherent coupling of quantum optical cavities with atoms or (simple) molecules was suggested as a means to achieve stable quantum memories in a hybrid quantum processor [54]. There might be a role to play for molecular spin qubits in this kind of hybrid quantum devices that combine solid-state with flying qubits. 

Enhancement of x2 will lead to improvement (in terms of efficiency per interaction volume) in the following applications up-conversion in the visible or near U.V. of powerful I.R. laser radiation, frequency modulation of a laser carrier beam, optical parametric oscillation and amplification for solid state infrared tunable coherent devices.
