Time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy by the optical Kerr-gate method applicable to ultrafast relaxation processes
We have developed a femtosecond time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy by the optical Kerr-gate ~OKG! method to investigate ultrafast carrier dynamics and relaxation processes of materials. Solid glasses with a high nonlinear refractive index were used as the Kerr media to obtain a subpicosecond time resolution. When a quartz plate was used as the Kerr medium, the Kerr efficiency and the instr...
متن کاملBenchtop time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr magnetometer.
We present here the construction and application of a compact benchtop time-resolved Kerr magnetometer to measure the magnetization precession in magnetic thin films and lithographically patterned elements. As opposed to very expensive femtosecond lasers this system is built upon a picosecond pulsed injection diode laser and electronic pulse and delay generators. The precession is triggered by ...
متن کاملOptical Kerr effect spectroscopy of simple liquids.
In this paper, we review the state of the field of optical Kerr effect (OKE) spectroscopy of simple liquids, with a focus on results from our laboratory. We discuss the history and the theoretical underpinnings of this technique. We consider contemporary issues in the interpretation of OKE spectra, including the origin of the "intermediate" response and the factors affecting the shape of the re...
متن کاملTime-resolved optical spectroscopy of wood.
We have proposed and experimentally demonstrated that picosecond time-resolved optical spectroscopy in the visible/near-infrared (NIR) region (700-1040 nm) is a useful technique for noninvasive characterization of wood. This technique has been demonstrated on both softwood and hardwood samples treated in different ways simulating the aging process suffered by waterlogged woods. In all the cases...
متن کاملSupercooling and Freezing Tolerant Animals
Subzero temperatures may adversely affect animals by their direct lethal effects and by the damage caused by ice formation (Ramløv, 2000). Animals deal with the latter by three basic strategies. Freeze avoiding animals prevent ice formation in their bodies and supercool, keeping their body fluids liquid at temperatures below their melting point, but die if freezing occurs. In contrast, freezing...
