Two-photon and Three-photon Fluorescence of Triton X-100 in the Ultraviolet Region.

We report, to our best knowledge, the first observation of two-photon and three-photon fluorescence of Triton X-100 (TX-100) in water and cyclohexane. The observed multiphoton fluorescence (MF) falls in the ultraviolet region 280-340nm as its one photon fluorescence does. Effects of excitation wavelengths and solution concentrations on the fluorescence spectra are investigated.

Two-Photon Fluorescence Study of Olive Oils at Different Excitation Wavelengths.

Two-photon fluorescence (TPF) of olive oils is discovered and observed experimentally for the first time. Variations of the single-photon fluorescence (SPF) and TPF with the excitation wavelength are investigated for four different olive oils. The results show that fluorescence of the cosmetic olive oils (COO) is very weak and exhibits only one spectral peak around 490 nm.

Exciting Wavelength and Concentration Related Two-Photon Fluorescence of Single and Mixed Laser Dyes.

Two-photon nonlinear process induced fluorescence of Rhodamine 6G (R6G), Rhodamine B (RB), and their mixed aqueous solutions in mass proportion of 1:1, is experimentally observed by different exciting wavelengths. It shows that, for each sample, the exciting wavelength can influence the fluorescence intensity considerably but only slightly influence the peak wavelength of the spectrum. The optimal exciting wavelengths of R6G and the mixed dyes are around 700 nm.

Experimental study of optical hyperbolic metamaterials for high-efficiency spatial filtering.

We experimentally study the optical properties of Al- hyperbolic metamaterials. The hyperbolic dispersion and ultrathin Al film ∼12 make the Al- multilayers possess transmission efficiency ∼0.3 for the spatial frequency ranging from to 1.

Dye-enhanced third upconversion Raman overtone in the ultraviolet region under intense excitation of a 532 nm laser.

We report, to our best knowledge, the first observation of enhanced third upconversion Raman overtone of water in the ultraviolet region 240-380 nm by Rhodamine 6G (R6G) under intense excitation of a 532 nm laser. Its spectral peak is mostly around 288 nm. This ultraviolet spectrum has also been obtained for purified water on the Raman spectrometer LRS-3 and fluorescence spectrometer RF-5301PC, which have photomultiplier tubes.

Generation of single or double parallel breathing soliton pairs, bound breathing solitons, moving breathing solitons, and diverse composite breathing solitons in optical fibers.

Interactions of two truncated Airy pulses with arbitrarily initial relative phases, initial pulse intervals, and different soliton order are numerically investigated in optical fibers. When the soliton order is 1, depending on different initial pulse intervals, the initial in-phase Airy pulses may evolve to single breathing solitons, bound breathing solitons, and single parallel breathing solitons. While the out-of-phase Airy pulses may evolve to parallel or repulsive soliton pairs with breathing or weak breathing, after radiating away some dispersive waves.

Evolution of finite energy Airy pulses and soliton generation in optical fibers with cubic-quintic nonlinearity.

We numerically simulate the propagation of finite energy Airy pulses in optical fibers with cubic-quintic nonlinearity and analyze the effects of quintic nonlinear parameters and soliton order number on their evolution properties. The soliton pulses are observed, whose peak amplitudes and corresponding temporal positions will vary with the propagation distance. Depending on different quintic nonlinearity parameters and soliton order number, the soliton pulse temporal positions exhibit weak decayed oscillations and then nearly linearly shift to leading or trailing edge of the Airy wavepacket, or tend to fixed positions, and the peak amplitudes also exhibit decayed oscillations but with different oscillation amplitude and central values.
