ABSTRACTA systematic investigation of the formation of large grained rings in polysilicon by Q-switched laser irradiation has been performed. Parameters varied in this study were polysilicon thickness, substrate temperature and underlying oxide thickness. Increasing ring widths were obtained for increasing substrate temperature, polysilicon film thickness and underlying oxide thickness. The width of these rings was found to be independent of incident laser power above a certain threshold value. Surface morphology and the occurrence of cracking and ablation in these films as a function of these parameters was also investigated.

We investigate experimentally the efficiency of self-propelled photophoretic swimmers based on metal-coated polymer particles of different sizes. The metal hemisphere absorbs the incident laser power and converts its energy into heat, which dissipates into the environment. A phoretic surface flow arises from the temperature gradient along the particle surface and drives the particle parallel to its symmetry axis. Scaling the particle size from micro to nanometers, the efficiency of converting optical power into motion is expected to rise with the reciprocal size for ideal swimmers. However, due to the finite size of the metal cap, the efficiency of a real swimmer reveals a maximum depending sensitively on the details of the metal cap shape. We compare the experimental results to numerical simulations.

A novel multibranched chromophore containing carbazole moiety,4, 4´, 4´´-tris(9-carbazyl-trans-styryl) triphenylamine (TCSTPA),was synthesized and characterized by 1HNMR and elemental analysis. A larger two-photon absorption (TPA) cross section of the chromophore was obtained as high as 2350 GM compared to that of the traditional linear chromophore when pumped by a femtosecond laser at 800 nm. Microstructure based on TPA induced polymerization with a spatial resolution of submicron was fabricated under much lower incident laser power using TCSTPA as a TPA photoinitiator and a multifunctional resin of pentaerythritol triacrylate (PETA) as a polymerizable monomer. The result indicates potential applications of this kind of chromophores with multibranched structural motif in the fabrication of polymer and functional microdevices.

Uranine is a diagnostic aid in ophthalmology and is used as an immunohistological stain. A photostability study on this important compound using a crossed-beam thermal lens (TL) technique was carried out. The study is based on the photodegradation (PD) behavior and rate regarding some experimental parameters such as the incident laser power, wavelength, modulation frequency, and sample concentration. The effects of such parameters on the TL signal and PD rate are discussed in details. It has been found that the PD rate is proportional to the power of the pumping laser and the concentration of the sample within the investigated range. However, the modulation frequency is found not to influence the PD rate. The photochemical quantum yield has been measured using potassium ferrioxalate actinometry and it was found to be very low.

The mechanism of Ag NP induced dimerization of PEAN was investigated by using SERS spectra. A very interesting phenomenon was discovered, that is where the relative Raman intensities of b2 modes increased either with increasing incident laser power or exposure time.

Abstract The spatial and temporal development of self-focusing of light pulses is investigated. The beam diameter in CS2 and molten para-di-chlorobenzene decreases with increasing incident laser power to small values in good agreement with theory. The strong influence of beam divergence, non-linearity of refractive index, and absorption on self-focusing action is found to agree well with numerical calculations. It is shown that both backward stimulated Brillouin and Raman scattering terminate the self-focusing process.
