ABSTRACTSapphire is best known for its hardness that makes it ideal for many mechanical and optical applications, but its resistance to radiation damage and its optical properties, combined with metallic nano-particles, make it promising for future opto-electronic and plasmonic devices. In this paper, we present an overview of our work on the fabrication of metallic nano-particles embedded in synthetic sapphire by means of ion implantation, thermal annealing and high energy ion irradiation. We show that we can have control over the amount and size of the nano particles formed inside the matrix by carefully choosing the parameters during the preparation process. Furthermore, we show that anisotropic nano particles can be obtained by an adequate high energy ion irradiation of the originally spherical nano particles. We also have studied the linear and non-linear optical properties of these nano-composites and have confirmed that they are large enough for future applications.

AbstractBy considering selected examples of new structure types, guidelines are set forth for the synthesis of new solid-state inorganic borates that are likely to have desirable properties for nonlinear optical applications. The structures of two new, noncentrosymmetric orthoborate fluorides BaCaBO3F and Ba7(BO3)3F5 demonstrate a feasibility for controlling linear optical properties and for producing noncentrosymmetric borates that melt congruently. The structure of SrLi(B3O5)3 represents an additional example of a noncentrosymmetric borate resulting from chirality of the B3O7 ring. In addition to potential practical value, crystals of the type AMOB2O5 (A = K, Rb, and Cs; M = Nb and Ta) provide a unique means for examining the structural dependent interrelationships of linear and nonlinear optical properties.

Composed of packed nanophase nodules in which the carbon atoms are linked with the tetrahedral bonding of diamond, laser plasma films are deposited in vacuum onto almost any substrate by condensing carbon ions carrying keV energies. These multiply charged ions are obtained from the laser ablation of graphite at intensities in excess of 1011 W cm−2. The high energy of condensation provides both for the chemical bonding of such films to a wide variety of substrates and for low values of residual compressive stress. Coatings of 2–5 μm thicknesses have extended lifetimes of important optical materials against the erosive wear from high-speed particles and droplets by factors of tens to thousands. In this work, the optical properties of these films at infrared (IR) wavelengths were studied. Transmission spectra of several freestanding films on silicon frames were measured. Using a model considering rough surface scattering and free carrier absorption, satisfactory fits to these transmission spectra were obtained and from them the optical parameters were extracted. The characterization studies performed in this work indicated a great potential for the laser-deposited nanophase diamond films in optical applications.
