CO on Ru[1010] was investigated by broadband femtosecond sum-frequency spectroscopy at 200 K. Approximately half of the frequency shift of 71 cm(-1) over the coverage range from 0.15 to 1.22 monolayers is shown to originate from dipole-dipole coupling, with the remainder due to a chemical shift. Despite low adlayer-surface registration at the highest coverages, the linewidth of the C-O stretch is comparatively low, and is described by homogeneous broadening according to sum-frequency free-induction decay measurements in the time domain. This can be explained by the dominance of the CO dipole coupling strength over the static disorder present in a coincidence structure. As the coverage decreases below 0.3 monolayer, the linewidth increases considerably, indicative of inhomogeneous broadening. Supported by a concomitant frequency change we suggest that at low coverages CO molecules form chains of irregular length in the [0001] direction, as has been shown for other surfaces with similar symmetry.

In this Letter, we report an ultraflat high-power supercontinuum (SC) based on a low-loss short-length fluorotellurite fiber. A novel high-peak power dual-Raman soliton femtosecond laser is used as a pump source, which effectively extends the mid-infrared SC spectral range and enhances the flatness of the SC. Finally, we obtained a 10.

Lower-dimensional organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials promise to revolutionize the optoelectronics industry due to the tremendous possibilities of exotic control on excitonic properties driven via quantum confinement. Flexible organic cations acting as spacers and stabilizers enhance electron-phonon couplings, further amplifying the potential for modular light-matter interactions in these materials. Herein we unravel the nature of excitons in a quasi-1D chain of corner-sharing bismuth iodide octahedra with an intrinsic quantum well structure stabilized by a hexyl-diammonium cation.

An all-fiber vibration sensor based on the Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) is proposed and experimentally evaluated in this study. The sensor is fabricated by introducing a Fabry-Perot cavity to the single-mode fiber using femtosecond laser ablation. The cavity and the tail act together as a cantilever beam, which can be used as a vibration receiver.

Two-dimensional semiconducting gallium sulfide (GaS) has garnered notable interest for its distinct structural and optical properties, which position it as a promising candidate material for various applications ranging from photodetection and photovoltaics to nonlinear frequency conversion. In this work, we determined the out-of-plane longitudinal sound velocity, , via impulsive time-domain femtosecond broadband Brillouin scattering measurements performed on a single flake-like GaS crystal. We obtained a value (3140 ± 20) m/s, which yields an out-of-plane compressive elastic constant, = (38.

Article Synopsis
  • Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are important in sensitive biomolecular detection and optical communication technologies, but their interaction with other near-field modes like quasi-cylindrical waves (QCWs) and composite diffracted evanescent waves (CDEWs) is not fully understood.
  • This study utilized a nano groove structure and a stable femtosecond laser to measure the spatial phase distribution around the edge of a nano slit, achieving a high precision measurement of refractive index changes.
  • The findings provide insights into the near-field effects on electron concentration at the nano structures, enhancing the understanding of SPP phenomena which could improve the design and application of nano-plasmonic technologies.
