RESUMO
A twin-hole fiber was provided with Au-Sn alloy electrodes and thermally poled at 255 masculineC with 4.3 kV applied during 155 minutes. An electric field 6X107 V/m was recorded. The poled fiber was cleaved and etched, revealing that the depletion region overlapped the entire core, was wedge shaped and pointed towards the cathode. The recorded profile closely followed the spatial distribution of the poling field.
RESUMO
The electromagnetic aspect of microwave dielectric heating is analyzed. It is concluded that a re-entrant cavity may supply high electric field component that is theoretically favorable efficient microwave absorption process in a small liquid or solid chemical sample. A re-entrant cavity has been designed using both finite difference time domain and finite element time domain methods and constructed with a PC-driven control and power supply unit. The field distribution in the sample as well as Q-values for a water-loaded cavity are calculated and measured. Good agreement between designed and measured quantities were found.
