The NaxWO3 nanoparticles with different x were synthesized by a solvothermal method and the absorption behavior in visible and near-infrared light (NIR) region was studied. Well-crystallized nanoparticles with sizes of several tens of nanometers were confirmed by XRD, SEM and TEM methods. The absorption valley in visible region shifted from 555 nm to 514 nm and the corresponding absorption peak in NIR region shifted from 1733 nm to 1498 nm with the increasing x. In addition, the extinction behavior of NaxWO3 nanoparticles with higher x values were simulated by discrete dipole approximation method and results showed that the changing behavior of optical properties was in good agreement with the experimental results. The experimental and theoretical data indicate that the transparency and NIR-shielding properties of NaxWO3 nanoparticles in the visible and NIR region can be continuously adjusted by x value in the whole range of 0 < x < 1. These tunable optical properties of nanocrystalline NaxWO3 will expand its application in the fields of transparent heat-shielding materials or optical filters.

This paper tackles principal component analysis (PCA) in images that include wavelengths between 380-1000 nm. Our approach is focussed on taking advantage of the potencial of ultraviolet and infrarred images, in combination with the visible ones, to improve documentation process and rock art analysis. In this way, we want to improve the discrimination between pigment and support rock, and analyse the spectral behaviour of rock art paintings in the ultraviolet and infrared regions. Three images were used, one image from the ultraviolet (UV) region, one from the visible region (VIS) and another one from the near infrared region (NIR). Optical filters coupled to the camera optics were used to take the images. These filters capture specific wavelengths excluding radiation that we are not interested in registering. Finally, PCA is applied to the acquired images. The results obtained demonstrate the PCA usefulness with imagery in this field and also it is possible to extract some conclusions about the correspondent paint pigments.http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/CIGeo2017.2017.6597

Aluminium doped cadmium sulphide thin films were prepared on glass substrate using aqueous solution of cadmium sulphide and thiourea salts by spray pyrolysis deposition (SPD) technique. Its optical properties were analyzed as a function of doping concentration. The direct energy band-gap of Al-doped CdS films was estimated in the range of 2.25 to 2.48 eV. The optical spectra of Cd1-xAlxS ternary system exhibit high absorption near visible region and transmission throughout the near-infrared region (600 - 1200 nm). Thus so obtained hetero-junction films are suitable for fabrication of photo detectors, solar cells and other optoelectronics devices.Journal of Bangladesh Academy of Sciences, Vol. 39, No. 1, 25-30, 2015

The calcium terbium aluminate (CaTbAlO4) single crystal was grown by Czochralski method successfully for the first time.The structure of the crystal was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.The transmission spectrum of the crystal was measured at room temperature at the wavelength of 400-1500nm.The specific Faraday rotation of the single crystal was surveyed at room temperature at the wavelength 532nm, 633nm, and 1064nm respectively.The Verdet constants of the CaTbAlO4 crystal are calculated and the results show that the Verdet constants of CaTbAlO4 are around 110% higher than that of TGG in the visible and near-infrared spectral region.Therefore,crystal CaTbAlO4 can be promising material for the fabrication of magneto-optical devices in the visible region.

Objective: We study the biomedical optical properties of the color light and near-infrared fluorescence separated-merged imager. Materials and Methods: The color light and near-infrared fluorescence separated-merged imager can illuminate the visible light and the near-infrared light of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]nm, receiving the reflected light and [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]nm near-infrared fluorescence, and display the color, fluorescence and merge image. ICG solution of different concentration, including standing time, was allocated to study the best imaging condition in vitro, and the depth of fluorescence penetration was studied with 5% agarose gel; the imaging characteristics of the imager was studied using SD rat; and then the SLNs tracing in 4 cases of penile carcinoma was performed. Results: When the concentration of ICG is 13.11[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mol/L, the fluorescence intensity and the merge image are the best. The maximum depth of fluorescence imaging is 9[Formula: see text]mm in 5% agarose gel, while the bone has the greatest influence on it. The SLNs tracing shows that the imager can locate the SLNs in vitro, to achieve perioperative navigation during biopsy. Conclusion: There are many factors that affect the imaging effect, but the imaging effect of the imager meets the requirement of vision in a wide range, and can effectively trace the SLNs in perioperative period.

Received 03 January 2020; accepted 17 June 2020 We have investigated the optical properties of La (0, 0.125, 0.250) doped YB6 by means of first-principles calculations within the framework of density functional theory. It was found that electronic and optical properties of YB6 crystals varied remarkably when Y atoms were replaced with La atoms. Furthermore, with increasing content of La in YB6 crystals from 12.5 % to 25 % reflectivity and absorption coefficient of near infrared light decreased obviously, while the transmittance was enhanced.

Cs x WO 3 nanoparticles in the range of 20–50 nm have been successfully synthesized by the supercritical solvothermal approach, where after dissolving WCl6 and CsOH in a mixed solution of water, ethanol and oleic acid, the solution was heated at 300°C. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, TEM, HR-TEM, EDS, laser particle size analysis and thermographic measurements. Cs x WO 3 nanoparticles showed the high transparency in the visible region, excellent shielding performance of the near-infrared light and limited reflectance of light in the range of 200–2700 nm, indicating the strong absorption of NIR light on the nanosized Cs x WO 3. Cs x WO 3 nanoparticles also exhibited quick conversion of photo-energy to local heat.
