Steady optical response

Steady optical responses of periodically modulated media... 

We first investigate the steady optical responses, i.e. the photonic bandgap structures and the reflection and transmission spectra, of our considered media to a cw probe field with the two-mode approximation method and the transfer-matrix method. Starting from the dressed susceptibility in the weak probe limit, we find that a photonic bandgap of 0.5 MHz in width can be... 

Because the steady-state response of the fiber-optic asssonia probe is based on simple acid-base chemistry, the development of a function that describes the probe s steady-state response is straight forward (15, 16). The following equation gives the response function for the case when a fluorescent indicator dye is used ... 

Hence, two basic factors are to be taken into account in the analysis of electro-optical data. First is the pulse duration. At certain values of the pulse length the response shows steady-like behavior, which is due to the separation of the time scales involved and the restricted sensitivity of the optical response to induced changes in the system. Second is the choice of frequency range for the determination of the Kerr constant. The latter is related to the low-field regime, where the acoustic modes contribute significantly. Adequate separation of orientation and... 

Over recent years there has been a steady growth of interest in vibrational effects in the context of ab initio calculations of linear and non-linear molecular response functions. It has been realized that in some cases vibrational may rival electronic contributions to the parameters controlling non-linear optical responses. This is particularly likely where the molecule is of higher symmetry (quadrupolar or octupolar rather than dipolar), and for lower frequency effects where there is little pre-resonant enhancement of the electronic contribution. The main features of the theoretical methodology for the calculation of vibrational response functions were established several years ago and the fundamental papers were reviewed in the previous volume. Recent developments have been the introduction of field induced co-ordinates, improved integration techniques and the first relativistic studies. ... 

To smnmarize, we have briefly reviewed a few recent works on the steady and dynamical optical responses of ultracold atoms and diamond N-V color centers dressed by a SfF coupling in the Lambda configiu ation. 

Photodiodes occur in many different varieties and are useful in both steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence studies. Photodiodes designed for use in steady-state or on microsecond time-scales are inexpensive and have effective areas up to a few square millimeters, and are capable of efficiently matching to simple focusing optics. However, as the temporal resolution increases so does the cost, and the effective area has to be reduced. For example, APDs with response times in the 50 psec region have effective diameters ofca. 10 /small active area of high-speed devices is currently the primary drawback in fluorescence studies. Also, photodiodes other... 

We present here a condensed explanation and summary of the effects. A complete discussion can be found in a paper by Hellen and Axelrod(33) which directly calculates the amount of emission light gathered by a finite-aperture objective from a surface-proximal fluorophore under steady illumination. The effects referred to here are not quantum-chemical, that is, effects upon the orbitals or states of the fluorophore in the presence of any static fields associated with the surface. Rather, the effects are "classical-optical," that is, effects upon the electromagnetic field generated by a classical oscillating dipole in the presence of an interface between any media with dissimilar refractive indices. Of course, both types of effects may be present simultaneously in a given system. However, the quantum-chemical effects vary with the detailed chemistry of each system, whereas the classical-optical effects are more universal. Occasionally, a change in the emission properties of a fluorophore at a surface may be attributed to the former when in fact the latter are responsible. 

A discussion on steady state fluorescent monitoring necessitates a distinction between spectroscopic and photometric measurements. The former involves a grating-based spectrofluorometer where full spectrum excitation and emission multivariate spectra are acquired. In contrast a filter photometer involves optical elements (e.g., optical Alters) to isolate excitation and emission bands thereby resulting in a univariate output emission response. 

Regarding the analytical features of IWAOs, the main one is that sensitivity can be improved without simultaneously increasing the response times to achieve the steady-state signal. This configuration allows an analyte diffusion direction transverse to the fight transmission, so the response time is independent of the optical path length. 

Steady state photoconductivity (PC) measurements provide additional insight. Not only is the onset of the steady state PC coincident with the onset of optical absorption but, using an established theoretical analysis which assumes that every absorbed photon creates a pair of charge carriers, the PC spectral response has been calculated from the measured absorption profile with results in excellent agreement with the PC data [146]. By contrast, in the case of strong exciton binding, the PC response from secondary processes is expected to be similar to the absorption spectrum this is not observed in the experimental results [146]. 

The involvement of chemisorbed intermediates in electrocatalytic reactions is manifested in various and complementary ways which may be summarized as follows (i) in the value of the Tafel slope dK/d In i related to the mechanism of the reaction and the rate-determining step (ii) in the value of reaction order of the process (iii) in the pseudocapacitance behavior of the electrode interface (see below), for a given reaction (iv) in the frequency-response behavior in ac impedance spectroscopy (see below) (v) in the response of the reaction to pulse and linear perturbations or in its spontaneous relaxation after polarization (see below) (vi) in certain suitable cases, also to the optical reflectivity behavior, for example, in reflection IR spectroscopy or ellipso-metry (applicable only for processes or conditions where bubble formation is avoided). It should be emphasized that, for any full mechanistic understanding of an electrode process, a number of the above factors should be evaluated complementarily, especially (i), (ii), and (iii) with determination, from (iii), whether the steady-state coverage by the kinetically involved intermediate is small or large. Unfortunately, in many mechanistic works in the literature, the required complementary information has not usually been evaluated, especially (iii) with 6(V) information, so conclusions remained ambiguous.
