A sonochemical Materials Acceleration Platform was implemented to synthesize CdSe nanocrystals under 625 unique conditions (in triplicate) in less than 6 weeks. The modularity of the workflow is adaptable a variety applications.

The applicability of algorithms for estimation of phycocyanin (PC) concentration based on light spectral reflectance heavily depends on the specific absorption of the pigment. But the determination of PC-specific absorption coefficient is not a straightforward task, as PC optical activity is overlapped by absorption of chlorophylls. The aim of our study was to determine a PC(625)—the specific a...

We describe the operation of an all-optical probe that provides an alternative means of implementing photoacoustic and photothermal investigative techniques, particularly those used in biomedical applications. The probe is based on a transparent, acoustically and thermally sensitive Fabry-Perot polymer film sensor mounted at the end of an optical fiber. We demonstrate the ability of the system ...

A microhole array in a common single-mode fiber is fabricated by selective chemical etching of femtosecond-laser-induced fiber Bragg grating (FBG), which has a laser-modified region extending from the fiber core to the cladding-air boundary due to laser self-focusing. The shape and size of the orderly microhole on the fiber surface are controlled via changing conditions of FBG fabrication and c...

This report discusses the use of AlGaAs lasers and LEDs as optical sources for a multimode fiber-optic link that uses analog modulation. It is well known that the limited linearity of these sources makes digital modulation a preferable method to send information. However, many factors determine how a portion of an information transfer system is constructed or retrofitted including previous inve...

This study aims to evaluate the weldability of dissimilar welds with Inconel 625 and Hastelloy C-276 nickel-based alloys deposited on ASTM A36 AISI 1045 carbon steel plates. The were carried out by GMAW process evaluated Trans-Varestraint test. test results statistically evaluated, Fusion Zone solidification processes simulated in JMatPro software using several dilution levels. analysis varianc...
