Graphitisation of structural characteristics and improvement in electrical conductivity was reported onto waste carbon powder through femtosecond laser annealing. Raman spectroscopy on the carbon powder pre- and post-annealing showed a shift from amorphous-like carbon to graphitic-like carbon, which can be explained by the three-stage model. Electrical I-V probing of the samples revealed an increase in conductivity by up to 90%. An increase in incident laser power was found to be correlated to an increase in conductivity. An average incident laser power of 0.104 W or less showed little to no change in electrical characteristics, while an average incident laser power of greater than 1.626 W had a destructive effect on the carbon powder, shown through the reduction in powder. The most significant improvement in electrical conductivity has been observed at laser powers ranging from 0.526 to 1.286 W. To conclude, the graphitisation of waste carbon powder is possible using post-process femtosecond laser annealing to alter its electrical conductivity for future applications.

Incident Laser Power

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.

Pentaerythritol Triacrylate

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.

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.

The photobleaching of Methylene blue embedded in the solid matrix PMMA (poly(methylmethacrylate)), PVA (poly(vinyl alcohol)) and gelatin has been investigated using a photoacoustic technique. Photoacoustic signals were measured as a function of time, chopping frequency, and the beam power. Experimental results indicate that the photobleaching rate is proportional to the incident laser power (260–300 mW) and decreased with increasing the concentration of dopant molecules. Methylene blue embedded in PVA shows the highest photobleaching rate then followed by gelatin and PMMA. The increase of photobleaching rate in PVA is also noticed when the beam power is increased. The thermal diffusivity values obtained for bleached PMMA, PVA and gelatin are 1.46 × 10-3 cm2/s , 0.83 × 10-3, cm2/s and 1.10 × 10-3 cm2/s respectively. Spectrophotometer and Raman spectroscopy were used to confirm the photoacoustic results.
