Substrate transparent

Anodizing of aluminum under certain conditions produces self-organized regular periodic stmctures with hexagonal cells and controlled sizes of the pores from 10 through 500 nm [6, 7]. Unique porous films with thickness up to 200 pm with an insignificant variance of the pore diameter oriented perpendicularly to the planar surface were fabricated [8, 9]. Porous anodic alumina (PAA) is a relatively transparent material and could be fabricated on the substrates transparent in the wide spectral range (Fig. 1 [ 10]) that makes it attractive for optical excitation of diverse luminescent inclusions. 

The device consists of four layers substrate, transparent electrode, polymeric ink, and top electrode. The electroluminescent ink is screen-... 

Transparent and Weakly Absorbing Substrates ( Transparent IRRAS)... 

Although IRRAS is a well-established method for studying monolayers on transparent substrates, its sensitivity is almost an order of magnitude lower than on metals. At the same time, transparent IRRAS offers an important advantage that p- and j-polarized spectra of the film can be measured, which is extremely valuable for orientational studies (Section 3.11.5). One can combine the advantages of metalhc and transparent IRRAS by using a complex-substrate transparent layer on a metal (Fig. 2.16), rather than a single-substance substrate. The upper transparent layer, which imitates the surface chemistry of a bulk transparent substrate, is dubbed a buffer or interference layer. The technique that involves such a buffer layer-metal substrate is known as buried metal layer (BML)-IRRAS or interference underlayer IRRAS.

The blue PHP electroluminescence emission light is converted by covering the PHP OLED with a green dye layer (to give a green emission color) and a red dye layer together with a suitable dielectric filter (to give a red emission color).

A liquid crystal display comprises a pair of substrates, transparent electrodes respectively formed thereon and a liquid crystal material layer inserted between the electrodes, and is characterized in that a liquid crystalline polymer orientation layer is formed on at least one of the liquid crystal material layers, and the liquid crystalline polymer orientation layer functions as an optical phase retardation film. The phase retardation of the light transmitting liquid crystal is compensated by the liquid crystalline polymer orientation layer, which enhances contrast. The liquid crystalline polymer layer can also be used as an optical phase retardation film. 

In 1960, Harrick demonstrated that, for transparent substrates, absorption spectra of adsorbed layers could be obtained using internal reflection [42]. By cutting the sample in a specific trapezoidal shape, the IR beam can be made to enter tlirough one end, bounce internally a number of times from the flat parallel edges, and exit the other end without any losses, leading to high adsorption coeflScients for the species adsorbed on the external surfaces of the plate (Irigher than in the case of external reflection) [24]. This is the basis for the ATR teclmique. 

Monolayers can be transferred onto many different substrates. Most LB depositions have been perfonned onto hydrophilic substrates, where monolayers are transferred when pulling tire substrate out from tire subphase. Transparent hydrophilic substrates such as glass [18,19] or quartz [20] allow spectra to be recorded in transmission mode. Examples of otlier hydrophilic substrates are aluminium [21, 22, 23 and 24], cliromium [9, 25] or tin [26], all in their oxidized state. The substrate most often used today is silicon wafer. Gold does not establish an oxide layer and is tlierefore used chiefly for reflection studies. Also used are silver [27], gallium arsenide [27, 28] or cadmium telluride wafer [28] following special treatment. 

Fig. 1. The hthographic process. A substrate is coated with a photosensitive polymer film called a resist. A mask with transparent and opaque areas directs radiation to preselected regions of the resist film. Depending on resist characteristics, exposed or unexposed portions of the film are removed using a developer solvent. The resulting pattern is then transferred to the substrate surface and the resist is stripped.

The limitation to disk constmctions with a laser beam reflected at the disk surface is a large drawback, however. This prevents the insensitivity against dust and dirt, which is well known from current optical storage devices with a laser beam reflected after penetration of the transparent substrate. 

The distance between the disk surface facing the optics and the memory layer naturally has to be much smaller than in common optical disks, where the memory layer is deposited behind a 1.2-mm thick transparent glass or polymer substrate disk. 

This confinement yields a higher carrier density of elections and holes in the active layer and fast ladiative lecombination. Thus LEDs used in switching apphcations tend to possess thin DH active layers. The increased carrier density also may result in more efficient recombination because many nonradiative processes tend to saturate. The increased carrier confinement and injection efficiency faciUtated by heterojunctions yields increasing internal quantum efficiencies for SH and DH active layers. Similar to a SH, the DH also faciUtates the employment of a window layer to minimise absorption. In a stmcture grown on an absorbing substrate, the lower transparent window layer may be made thick (>100 /tm), and the absorbing substrate subsequendy removed to yield a transparent substrate device. 

GaAs substrate may be locally removed to form small transparent emission region (21).
