Figure 2.11 Schematic response to source frequency sweeping of a transmission cavity containing an absorbing gas. a represents the cavity with the gas absorption profile superimposed at the cavity resonance, b shows the absorption detected at the fundamental frequency and c that at the second harmonic of the modulation frequency. The mirror spacing in b and c would be adjusted to keep the cavity resonance synchronous with the source frequency. The ordinate scale has been offset and exaggerated for clarity, but the abscissa scale is the same for all three traces...

For the transmission cavity considered here, some power will always be coupled out through the output coupling iris. If we call Pp the power reflected from the input to the cavity, then...

Microwaves from the waveguide are coupled into the resonator by means of a small coupling hole in the cavity wall, called the iris. An adjustable dielectric screw (usually machined from Teflon) with a metal tip adjacent to the iris pennits optimal impedance matching of the cavity to the waveguide for a variety of samples with different dielectric properties. With an appropriate iris setting the energy transmission into the cavity is a maximum and simultaneously reflections are minimized. The optimal adjustment of the iris screw depends on the nature of the sample and is found empirically. 

For an air/glass interface, tan 0b = n, the refractive index of glass. In a gas laser, the light must be reflected back and forth between mirrors and through the gas container hundreds of times. Each time the beam passes through the cavity, it must pass through transparent windows at the ends of the gas container (Figure 18.10b), and it is clearly important that this transmission be as efficient as possible. 

As mentioned above, employment of MWCNT for field emitter will be one of the most important applications of MWCNT. For this purpose, MWCNT is prepared by the chemical purification process [30,38], in which graphite debris and nanoparticles are removed by oxidation with the aid of CuCl2 intercalation [38]. Purified MWCNT is obtained in the form of black and thin "mat" (a flake with thickness of ca. a few hundreds of [im). Figure 7 shows a typical transmission electron microscope (TEM) picture of MWCNT with an open end, which reveals that a cap is etched off and the central cavity is exposed. 

The ODMR spectrometer resembles the PA spectrometer shown in Figure 7-1, with the sample placed in a microwave cavity between the pole pieces of an electromagnet. The sample is constantly illuminated by the pump and probe beams amplitude-modulated microwaves arc coupled into the cavity through a waveguide. Changes Si in PL or ST in probe transmission are delected by lock-in am-... 

Multicavity filters. Multicavity Fabry-Perot filters are used to make very narrow transmission filters. A simple Fabry-Perot cavity (see Ch. 2) consists of a halfwave layer surrounded by two reflectors of typically 10 layers each. Figure 4 shows three transmission profiles obtained with one, two or three cavity filters. The three cavity HL) 5HH(LH) 5) " 3 filter has a 1.2 nm bandwidth. It has 60 layers. Note that the three-peak top of the transmittance. Each cavity has to be well adapted to the following one if not the resulting transmittance can be very poor. Such cavities are broadly used in telecoms in between arrays of antennas for cell phones. 

The cores of individual mammalian ferritin molecules are clearly visible by transmission electron microscopy as well defined nanoparticle crystallites encapsulated within the protein shell which can attain a size close to that of the 8 nm interior diameter of the protein shell (Massover, 1993). This is illustrated in Figure 6.13 for a sample of human ferritin. The amount of iron in the core is variable, and can range from zero to a maximum of approximately 4500 atoms (Fischbach and Anderegg, 1965) this corresponds to the capacity of the internal cavity for Fe(III) as... 

The presence of the HRI coating induces an increase in the effective refractive index of the cladding modes and thus a decrease in the resonance wavelengths. In addition, the spatial shift of the cladding mode field profile toward the HRI overlay promotes a decrease of the overlap integral with the core mode and so of the transmission loss peak. The subsequent evaporation of the solvent molecules from the nano-cavities results in a reduction of its refractive index. This explains the partial... 

Fig. 16.3 Simulation of transmission spectrum for a four resonator array. FDTD simulation showing the steady state electric field distributions when the device is excited at the (a) resonant wavelength and (b) nonresonant wavelength. Note that the color levels in this image are scaled to the maximum field intensity in each image not to each other. The field levels in (b) are roughly of 20 times greater magnitude than those shown in (a), (c) Output spectrum for a device consisting of a waveguide with four evanescently coupled side cavities adjacent to it. Here each resonator consists of a cavity with four holes on either side. Reprinted from Ref. 37 with permission. 2008 Optical Society of America...
