Synthesis of TiO2-ZnO-ZrO2 Nanocomposites for Nonlinear Optics Applications

A sol-gel technique under ultrasonic irradiation was applied to synthesize ZrO2/TiO2/ZnOnanocomposites. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the successful synthesis of nanocomposites. The strain and crystalline size values of ZrO2/TiO2/ZnO nanocomposites are estimated to be 9.98×10-4 and 17.66 nm, respectively. The linear absorption coefficient of ZrO2/TiO2/ZnO nanocomposites was measure...

Maxwell Optics: III. Applications

A new formalism of beam-optics and polarization has been recently presented, based on an exact matrix representation of the Maxwell equations. This is described in Part-I and Part-II. In this Part, we present the application of the above formalism to the specific example of the axially symmetric graded index fiber. This formalism leads to the wavelength-dependent modifications of the six aberra...

Monocapillary Optics Developments and Applications

Hollow glass tubes are in use at Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) as X-ray optics in the 4 to 25 keV range to take large diameter, fairly parallel X-ray beams and compress them into smaller diameter, more divergent beams for various kinds of X-ray applications. The optics come in two forms: 1) multibounce condensing capillaries for making submicron diameter beams and 2) one-bounce...
