The problem of space-constrained absorbers in the low frequency range constitutes an area of continuous research. Micro-perforated panels are advantageous because they can be tuned by a proper selection of their constitutive physical parameters including the diameter of the perforations and their separation distance, their thickness and the length of the backing cavity. However, such optimal selection is not straightforward, especially when considering multi-layer partitions. Current optimization algorithms are based on the maximization of the total absorption coefficient averaged over a frequency band, that requires a compromise between the bandwidth and the thickness of the control device. In this work, the problem is analysed on the basis of a causality criterion. This principle is generalized from its formulation in the field of electromagnetism to obtain a relation that correlates the thickness-to-bandwidth performance of a micro-perforated absorber to its total absorption coefficient. Using this relation, an optimization procedure is presented for the sequential selection of the optimal physical parameters for single-layer partitions. An excellent agreement has been found between the optimal values obtained by the causality criterion and those achieved by critical coupling conditions.

Intersubband optical transitions, refractive index changes, and absorption coefficients are numerically driven for direct bandgap strained GeSn/Ge quantum dots. The linear, third-order nonlinear and total, absorption coefficients and refractive index changes are evaluated over useful dot sizes’ range ensuring p-like Γ-electron energy state to be lower than s-like L-electron energy state. The results show strong dependence of the total absorption coefficient and refractive index changes on the quantum dot sizes. The third order nonlinear contribution is found to be sensitive to the incident light intensity affecting both total absorption coefficient and refractive index changes, especially for larger dot sizes.

Existing calculations of the total absorption coefficient are generally based on the assumption that all the primary radiation energy which is converted into Comptonscattered radiation escapes from the material without significant absorption. This paper extends this basic assumption to include fluorescent and annihilation radiation and bremsstrahlung, and new values of the photoelectric, Compton, pair production, and total absorption coefficients are determined in the energy range O� 01-100 MeV for hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, argon, aluminium, iron, lead, air, and water. For comparison purposes revised values of the total absorption coefficient, allowing for the Compton radiation energy loss only, are also determined for these materials, using the most recent data for the component coefficients.

The radiation emitted from a cylindric arc burning in SF6-gas at low currents shows the affinitycontinuum of fluorine with a long wavelength threshold of 3646 A. By means of spectroscopic temperature measurements and using KIRCHHOFF’s law the total absorption coefficient for the continuum in the range from 6800 to 2600 A is obtained. Isolating the F-affinity-continuum from the continuous background, the detachment cross section of the negative fluorine ion is obtained as a function of the photon energy.
