    We show that hybrid organic–inorganic particles are efficient for accurate sensing of mercury ions and following up trace amounts of the mercury pollutions spread in the environment. The process of synthesis of a working substance starts from preparation of rhodamine 6G derivative. Then the dye molecules are bound on the surface of Au–Pd core–shell nanorods. Mercury ions with different concentrations are finally attached onto this fluorescence sensor. Fluorescence emission of the sensor is detected with a luminescence spectrophotometer. The experimental results demonstrate that the fluorescence intensity of one of our sensors, a sensor B, is remarkably enhanced when the mercury-ion concentration increases from 0 to 15.5 µM. The limit of detection of the ions is as low as 20.6 nM. The working mechanism of our fluorescence sensor can be explained through the fluorescence-energy transfer and the plasmonic effect associated with spirolactam forms of rhodamine and conducting bimetallic nanoparticles.

    Backward Third-Harmonic Pulse Generation in a One-Dimensional PIM/NIM Structure
    (2018-12-19) ;
    Wicharn, S.
    ;
    In this work, a set of couple-mode equations for describing a backward third harmonic generation (BTHG) in a one-dimensional periodic structure of positive-index material (PIM) layers and third-order nonlinear negative-index material (NIM) layers was analysed using multiple-scale method. Due to the negative-index phase matching and band-edge field enhancement the intensities of backward third-harmonic pulsed generated from the PIM/NIM periodic structure is increased for 100 time of those generated from a single NIM medium.

    In this research, the manganese doped cadmium sulfide (Mn-doped CdS) thin films were synthesized on glass substrates using successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method. The thin films were prepared by different mixing percentage of manganese with cadmium sulfide precursors in the range of 1 - 20 mole%. The optical properties were investigated by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer. The morphology and elemental analysis were measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), respectively.

    This research aimed to synthesize lead sulfide (PbS) thin films on glass slides using the successive ion layer absorption and reaction (SILAR) method. We studied the optical properties and structure of PbS thin films by changing the number of dipping cycles and the concentration of precursor solution. The results of this experiment show that different conditions have a considerable influence on the thickness and absorbance of the films. When the number of dipping cycles and the concentration of the solution are increased, film thickness and absorbance tend to become higher. The xrays diffraction pattern showed all the diffraction peaks which confirmed the face center cubic and the structure of PbS had identified. Grain size computation was used to confirm how much these conditions could be affected.

    In this paper, we discuss the digital holography (DH) experiment in our optical and communication laboratory course for undergraduate students at Physics department, KMITL. The purposes of DH experiment are presenting our students the meaning and advantage of DH and its applications. The Gabor configurations of in-line DH has been set up for recording a number of samples, which were placed on different distances, simultaneously. Then, the images of all objects have been numerical reconstructed by using computer. The students have been learned that all of reconstructed images have been got from only one time recording, while using the conventional recording technique, sharp images of different objects have been gotten from different recording time. The students also have been learned how to use DH technique for investigation some different kinds of samples on their own of interested such as a human hair or a fingerprint. In our future work, our DH system will be developed to be a portable apparatus for easily showing to children in different areas.

    In this research, two-wave coupling in photorefractive lithium niobate crystal has been used to do imaging enhancement of digital holography (DH) system. The image bearing beam of in-line DH system has been incident and interfered with a reference beam that was emerged from the same laser on a LiNbO<inf>3</inf> crystal. With certain angles between both beams, the energy of the reference beam was transferred to the image bearing beam then resulted the enhancement of the reconstructed image of the DH system. By using the suitable intensity of laser beam with a right PR crystal, the image from an in-line DH imaging system would be improved.

    Enhancement of backward third-harmonic generation in a one-dimensional PIM/NIM periodic structure
    (2018-09-01)

    ;
    A numerical simulation is reported for backward third-harmonic generation (BTHG) in a one-dimensional periodic structure containing a stack composed of positive-index material (PIM) and negative-index material (NIM). A multiple-scale method is used to formulate a completed set of coupled-mode equations with inhomogeneous higher-order nonlinear terms for both electric and magnetic fields. The coupled equations are numerically solved to simulate output third-harmonic frequency pulses and their conversion efficiencies by a fast Fourier transform–pulse propagation method. Finally, the numerical results validate the idea that using a combination of the negative-index phase-matched condition, which is created by engineering the dispersive property of the NIM layer, and local field enhancement, which is created by arranging PIM and NIM layers in an optimal periodic fashion, yields a dramatic enhancement of BTHG conversion efficiency.

    PbS quantum dots (QDs) have been received attention as a photosensitizer for quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) due to their narrow band gaps, quantum size effect, and multiple exciton generation (MEG). In this work, we prepared PbS QDSSCs by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method (SILAR) with PbS QDs deposited onto titanium dioxide (TiO <inf>2</inf> ), then the PbS QDs have been investigated the effect of SILAR cycles on photovoltaic properties. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the solar cells is dependent on SILAR cycles and an optimal SILAR cycle is two cycles. The PbS QDSSCs achieve the PCE of 1.79% with the photocurrent of 16.39 mA/cm <sup>-2</sup> . Moreover, the optical properties were investigated by UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, which reveals a SILAR cycle affecting a band gap of PbS QDs.

    Studies of concentration dependence of the fluorescent quantum yield from rhodamine 6G and Au–Pd core–shell nanorods, using a response surface methodology

    We have applied a response surface approach to study the fluorescence quantum yield (FQY) of rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) mixed with Au–Pd core–shell nanorods (Au–Pd NRs). The FQYs have been measured for the Rh6G concentrations varying from 3.53×10<sup>–7</sup> to 1.70×10<sup>–6</sup> mol/L and the concentrations of Au–Pd NRs from 7.06×10<sup>–6</sup> to 1.36×10<sup>–4</sup> mol/L. Our experimental results testify that the FQY depends notably on the proportions of Rh6G and Au–Pd NRs. A specific relationship between the FQY and the concentrations has also been confirmed by a response surface plot. It is found that the discrepancy between the experiment and the calculations is less than 2%.
