Nanotrees ZnO films are synthesized by thermal evaporation method on silicon and glass substrates. PbS powder (5 wt%) is used to obtain the nanostructure and growth modifications. ZnO films are compared with non-doped ones (ZnO film was dense structure without nanotrees). The deposited PbS:ZnO films exhibit polycrystalNanotrees ZnO films are synthesized by thermal evaporation method on silicon and glass substrates. PbS powder (5 wt%) is used to obtain the nanostructure and growth modifications. ZnO films are compared with non-doped ones (ZnO film was dense structure without nanotrees). The deposited PbS:ZnO films exhibit polycrystalline orientation using X-ray diffraction (XRD), but the films without doping was less crystalline quality. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to characterize the morphology. SEM images (surface and cross section) was confirmed the nanotrees form for doped ZnO film. Energy dispersive X-ray detector (EDX) was used to verify the composition of prepared films. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), photoluminescence (PL) and micro Raman techniques were used to investigate the optical properties. The PL spectra intensities were found to increase for PbS:ZnO nanotrees. Up to our knowledge, no work has been published regarding the obtained ZnO nanotrees using PbS as dopant via simple thermal evaporation method..

The asymmetrical fiber Fabry-Perot micro-cavity is designed and produced by cutting a standard single-mode fiber and welding the fiber end with the core-offset structure. The length of the Fabry-Perot micro-cavity could be controlled within a certain range of accuracy based on the on-line fiber cutting-welding method. According to this method, a micro-machined Fabry-Perot micro- cavity with a length of about 147 μm is achieved and its spectral characteristic is also investigated in our experiment. This proposed method is suitable to produce a micro-fiber-optic structure with improved and controlled precision, which is attractive for the fiber processing field. Moreover, the fabricated Fabry-Perot micro-cavity also has potential application in the microfluidic system and biochemical detection area..

The finite- difference beam-propagation method is used to simulate the guided modes and calculate the effective indices. The simulation results show that by tapering the width of the cross section linearly, the phase mismatch between a specific input wavelength and its SHG signal can be varied along the propagation length. Ideal SHG phase-matching conditions for a wide range of input wavelengths in communication band from 1 542.5 nm to 1 553.5 nm can be satisfied in different positions of the waveguide..

The device is fabricated by inserting two spherical structures into a single mode optical fiber (SMF). The results of the experiment indicate that the temperature sensitivities are 0.079 nm/oC and 0.090 nm/oC from 10 oC to 60 oC, respectively. When the humidity changes from 30% to 70%, the humidity sensitivities are 0.148 nm/%RH and 0.06 nm/%RH, respectively. Therefore, temperature and humidity are measured simultaneously by the sensitive matrix. The new structure is demonstrated to be a particularly useful approach to detect temperature and humidity..

The fluidic systemTheoretical design of a neotype fluidic controlling sensor system based on side-polished optical fiber is proposed. Numerical investigations demonstrate that the higher birefringence and resonance coupling can be achieved by flexible design of the polishing shape and depth in the research wavelength. The fluidic system is beneficial to selective integration of functional materials. The material is integrated into the fluidic system, which can achieve a birefringence up to 6.98×10-5, and the application of Sagnac thermometer in temperature sensing is studied, and a group of dips with different temperature sensitivities would be observed in the transmission spectra, which is about 1.6 nm/°C by calculating. furthermore, by introducing resonant coupling, single mode single polarization at 1 310 nm is realized. The refractive index (RI) response of the sensing system for a low RI range of 1.39—1.37 is approximately linear, and exhibits a sensitivity of 6 338 nm/RIU. The results show that the proposed neotype fluidic controlling system can be used as a flexible polarization filter or as a potential two-parameter sensor..

The low internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet light emitting diode (DUV-LED) limits its wider application. The main reasons for low IQE include low carrier concentration, poor carrier location and large defects. The bending of energy band between AlGaN electron blocking layer and conduction The low internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet light emitting diode (DUV-LED) limits its wider application. The main reasons for low IQE include low carrier concentration, poor carrier location and large defects. The bending of energy band between AlGaN electron blocking layer and conduction layer obstructs transport of holes to multiple quantum wells. In this paper, we propose a gradual Al-composition p-type AlGaN (p-AlGaN) conduction layer to improve the light emitting properties of AlGaN-based DUV-LED. Increased carrier concentration in the active region enhances the effective radiative recombination rate of the LED. Consequently, the IQE of our optimazited DUV-LED is increased by 162% in comparison with conventional DUV-LEDs..

Propagation length of 432 μm has been achieved with the optimal dimension of 200 nm×40 nm. Through the numerical simulation results, the effective area of 0.021 μm2 and normalized intensity of 40.71 μm-2 in the spacer region of the waveguide have been realized. To accomplish the ultra-compact directional coupler, the smaller coupling length of about 1.42 μm has been achieved. PTFE-based waveguide can be highly beneficial for the realization of monolithic integration with active optical devices..
