High sensitive synchrone detection based dynamic Sénarmont method for measurements of electro-optical (EO) Pockels and Kerr coefficients in hybrid nanocomposites films.

This study introduces an innovative approach by employing a highly sensitive synchronous detection-based dynamic Sénarmont method for the precise measurement of electro-optical (EO) Pockels and Kerr coefficients within hybrid nanocomposite films. The experimental setup integrates LabVIEW instrumentation software, ensuring accurate data acquisition. The EO-active film compositions encompass diverse polymer (PMMA) and organic dye combinations, including PMMA/organic dyes (DR1 and CPO), as well as PMMA combined with DR1-SiC, DR1-TiO2, and CPO-TiO2.

Profiles of paint layer samples obtained in the fringe field of a high field magnet by means of very short broadband frequency-modulated pulses.

In this article, we describe the acquisition of depth profiles, in particular of paint layers, in the static gradient of a high field magnet, providing a superior sensitivity. The main objective are reference profiles that help to understand scans made with noninvasive unilateral nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), which often suffers from poor signal-to-noise ratio when working with real samples. Various technical aspects like the coil geometry and the limit of resolution are investigated.
