[Study on the Structural, Optical an Surface Plasmon Characteristics of Mo-Doped ZnO Thin Film].

Mo-doped zinc oxide (ZnO∶Mo) films were deposited with direct current magnetron sputtering on quartz substrates at room temperature. The effects of Mo doping content on the crystal structure, surface microstructure，optical properties and plasmon characteristics of the ZnO films were investigated with X-ray diffraction(XRD),atomic force microscopy (AFM),Spectrophotometer and Raman spectrometer. The XRD pattern reveals that pure ZnO film exhibits good crystallization and c-axis oriented while heavy doping leads to increasing film defects. That results decline the film crystalline quality. When Mo doping content exceeds 3.93 Wt%, the ZnO films transform c-axis oriented into amorphous. The AFM pattern indicates that the surface of amorphous MZO film is extraordinarily flat. The Rq is 498 pm. The transmittance spectra reveal that all samples have an average transmittance of 80% in the visible light range. The optical band gap energy (Eg) increases from 3.28 to 3.60 eV as the Mo doping content increase. The absorbance spectrum indicates that ZnO surface plasmon resonance absorbance perk moves to short-wavelength as the Mo doping content increase. The Raman spectrum suggests that heavy Mo doping make the Raman scattering intensity decrease significantly. This paper obtains amorphous ZnO thin film by Mo doping. That broadens the application field of ZnO thin film materials. Meanwhile, we study the effect of Mo doping concentration on ZnO thin films surface plasmon, which provides important reference value for the preparation of oxidized zinc base photonic devices.

[Real-Time Stability Monitoring of Photonic Crystal Sensing System Based on Guided-Mode Resonance Effect].

The detection limit of antibody content has reached level of nanograms per milliliter due to high sensitivity and extremely narrow band of photonic crystal (PC) filter. The PC filter based on guided-mode resonance (GIR) effect can also be applied to detecting the molecular interactions. As the transducing element, one-dimensional PC filters transform biological information to photoelectric signal on optical spectrum analyzer (OSA). The main sensing performance is the change of peak-wavelength of PC filter. The sensing system using PC filter is restricted to the system stability which determines the effectiveness of detecting data. So in this paper, a detecting system we designed is briefly addressed. The morphology and the spectrum of PC filter we fabricated are tested. Considering the coupling light loss and integration of the system, noise signal in spectrum is going to affect the detecting results. To monitor the influence, realization of real-time monitoring the changes of the peak wavelength of PC filter is mainly illustrated. The monitoring is realized by transferring detecting data to computer in time and the results can represent the stability of the system. The program is compiled by Lab VIEW. In our experiment, the shift of 0. 25 nm of the peak wavelength caused by vibration of platform or unsteadiness of light source is within the sensitivity of the PC filter obtained by simulation, so we proposed this system we mentioned can be used in sensing most kind of bulk reagents.

[Study of Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy on Copper Films Modified by Ion Beam].

Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) was a rapid non-destructive testing. It was based on detecting molecule vibrational spectrum which was adsorbed on the metallic surface. Now it was widely used in surface adsorption, electrochemical catalysis, sensors, bio-medical testing, trace amount analysis and other fields. In our experiment, copper metallic films were deposited 50 nm on BK7 glass substrates by direct current magnetron sputtering. And then the films were employed for the Ar ion beam etching modification. The structure, morphology and optical properties was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), spectrophotometer and Raman spectroscopy. In the XRD graph, the peak value of modify copper film were the same with the untreated film. So the structure of copper film was not change. With increasing the power of Ar ion, the surface roughness was changed, and scattered spectrum intensity was increased by surface roughness added. With Rhodamine B (Rh B) as a probe molecule, Raman scattered spectrum was detected on modify copper film. Compared with the different samples, we can find the Raman signal was enhanced by surface roughness added. It will have some value on study the principles of SERS.

[The research of UV-responsive sensitivity enhancement of fluorescent coating films by MgF2 layer].

A low cost and less complicated expansion approach of wavelength responses with a Lumogen phosphor coating was adopted, as they increased the quantum efficiency of CCD and CMOS detectors in ultra-violet by absorbing UV light and then re emitting visible light. In this paper, the sensitivity enhancement of fluorescence coatings was studied by adding an anti-reflection film or barrier film to reduce the loss of the scattering and reflection on the incident interface. The Lumogen and MgF2/Lumogen film were deposited on quartz glasses by physical vacuum deposition. The surface morphology, transmittance spectrum, reflectance spectrum and fluorescence emission spectrum were obtained by atomic force microscope (AFM), spectrophotometer and fluorescence spectrometer, respectively. The results indicated that MgF2 film had obvious positive effect on reducing scattering and reflection loss in 500-700 nm, and enhancing the absorption of Lumogen coating in ultraviolet spectrum. Meanwhile, the fluorescent emission intensity had a substantial increase by smoothing the film surface and thus reducing the light scattering. At the same time, the MgF2 layer could protect Lumogen coating from damaging and contamination, which give a prolong lifetime of the UV-responsive CCD sensors with fluorescent coatings.

[Performance comparison of coronene film for UV-CCD prepared by spin-coating and physical vapor deposition].

In the present paper, the methods of spin-coating and physical vapor deposition (PVD) were researched to prepare the coronene film for UV-CCD, and their properties were characterized and compared with each other. The results of the experiment show that the process of spin-coating is relatively simple, which takes advantage of materials and retains the inherent crystal structure of coronene. However, the roughness of the film is a little more than that of PVD method; the film prepared by PVD method can absorb ultraviolet more effectively and then emits fluorescence with more intensity. Compared with the method of spin-coating, the surface of PVD film is more smoothly, and the process of thermal evaporation changes the crystal structure of coronene and forms another new crystalline state according to the XRD graph. While the whole process of PVD is morecomplex and it needs larger cost of production than spin-coating method. Besides, the comparison research work provided theoretical direction for preparing the photoluminescence down-conversion film under different requirements, such as fluorescence intensity, surface roughness and cost of production.

[General calculation method of diffraction efficiency of concave blazed gratings].

In order to make diffraction energy of concave gratings more concentrated in the desired order, the present paper puts forward that the concave blazed grating with variable groove angles could be fabricated on the concave substrates by mechanical ruling method, and the theoretical method of simultaneously calculating the diffraction efficiency in the main section and non-main section is deduced by using Fresnel-Kirchhoff's diffraction formula, which makes up the shortage of the diffraction efficiency calculated only in the main section. Finally, the diffraction efficiency curves varied with wavelength is simulated by Matlab software, and the variation laws of the diffraction efficiency are compared for different production methods and application parameters, which provides a valuable reference for the design and production of the concave gratings.

[Preparation by spin-coating technology and characterization of UV-enhanced Lumogen film].

As an effective way to increase the UV response for CCD/CMOS, the advantage of the Lumogen film is the simple process and low cost. In the present paper the Lumogen film was deposited onto fused silica slides by the spin-coating way, which has less damage than PVD physical vacuum deposition) way. The main test and analysis of the thin-film include transmission spectrum, absorption spectrum, and excitation and emission spectrum. It was showed that these coatings were transmitted well in visible region (lambda > 400 nm), and emitted a yellowish green glow centered at -525 nm together with a wide excitation spectrum range from 200 to 400 nm. The synthesis shows that Lumogen coatings match accurately with the detected spectrum of conventional silicon-based image sensors, which makes this kind of thin films an ultraviolet responsive coating for sensors.

Temperature field analysis of single-layer TiO2 films.

A method is presented to evaluate optical absorption at a random wavelength by calculating temperature distribution in single-layer TiO(2) films. Temperature distribution in single-layer TiO(2) films was analyzed based on temperature field theory. Through our calculations, optical absorption variation was obtained to be similar to that of surface temperature rise in films. The surface temperature rise depends on film thickness, refractive index, extinction coefficient, specific heat, and thermal conductivity. Furthermore, the optical absorptions of the same single-layer TiO(2) film at different wavelengths were deduced. As an example, the surface temperature rises were calculated for the 19 single-layer TiO(2) films, which had been prepared by 12 different laboratories for the annual meeting of the Optical Society of America in 1986. The results agree well with the measured optical absorptions.
