Raman lasing near 650 nm from pure water microdroplets on a superhydrophobic surface

چکیده
We demonstrate Raman lasing near 650 nm in pure water microdroplets located on a superhydrophobic surface. In the experiments, stationary, pure water microdroplets were prepared on a superhydrophobic surface and excited by a pulsed, frequencydoubled Nd:YAG laser at 532 nm. Intense laser emission was observed at frequencies corresponding to the whispering gallery mode resonances of the water microdroplets near 650 nm where Raman resonances due to OH-stretching bonds of water are located. On– off behavior was observed during lasing and the average temporal inter-burst separation was determined from the time-dependent intensity traces. Our results can find applications in the development of novel organic light emitters for short-haul communication systems, and in the spectroscopic characterization of water microdroplets on a surface. # 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Raman lasing near 630 nm from stationary glycerol-water microdroplets on a superhydrophobic surface.
We demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, Raman lasing from stationary microdroplets on a superhydrophobic surface. In the experiments, glycerol-water microdroplets with radii in the 11-15 microm range were pumped at 532 nm with a pulsed, frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser. Two distinct operation regimes of the microdroplets were observed: cavity-enhanced Raman scattering and Raman lasin...

A superhydrophobic ZnO surface was prepared on the stainless steel mesh by a one-step chemical bath deposition method without chemical post-treatment. The effect of adding polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG 6000) as an organic additive and the type of the alkaline agent were investigated on the morphological and wettability properties of ZnO surfaces. The prepared surfaces were characterized by X-ra...
متن کاملControlled observation of nondegenerate cavity modes in a microdroplet on a superhydrophobic surface
We demonstrate controlled lifting of the azimuthal degeneracy of the whispering gallery modes (WGMs) of single glycerol–water microdroplets standing on a superhydrophobic surface by using a uniform electric field. A good agreement is observed between the measured spectral positions of the nondegenerate WGMs and predictions made for a prolate spheroid. Our results reveal fewer azimuthal modes th...
متن کاملAnti-icing surfaces based on enhanced self-propelled jumping of condensed water microdroplets.
A spontaneous and controllable removal of condensed microdroplets at high supersaturation via self-propelled jumping is achieved by introducing a designed micropore array on a nanostructured superhydrophobic surface. The fabricated surface was demonstrated to delay the ice formation for 1 hour at -15 °C with a supersaturation of 6.97.
