AI Article Synopsis
- The study explores how the photoelectromotive force (PEMF) behaves under non-steady conditions, focusing on both periodic and linear phase shifts.
- It reveals that combining oscillating and linear patterns results in a noticeable peak in the output current of the PEMF when the frequency of modulation aligns with the frequency of the linear phase shift.
- The findings were experimentally validated, showing potential applications for measuring Doppler frequency shifts between signal and reference beams.
Article Abstract
Non-steady-state photoelectromotive force effect in the presence of periodical and linear phase shift was investigated both theoretically and experimentally. It was shown that superposition of oscillating and linear movements of the interference pattern leads to the appearance of the sharp peak in the frequency dependence of the photoelectromotive force output current when the frequency of periodical modulation matches the frequency of the linear phase shift. We demonstrated experimentally that this effect can be used for determination of a Doppler frequency shift between signal and reference beam.

The non-steady-state photoelectromotive force is excited in a monoclinic gallium oxide crystal at wavelength λ = 457 nm. The crystal grown in an oxygen atmosphere is insulating and highly transparent for a visible light, nevertheless, the formation of dynamic space-charge gratings and observation of the photo-EMF signal is achieved without application of any electric field to the sample. The dependencies of the signal amplitude on the frequency of phase modulation, light intensity, spatial frequency and light polarization are measured.

The mechanical system, including the glass plate and piezoelectric transducer, demonstrates resonant behavior in the vicinity of 100 kHz. The measured distribution of the optical phase is a bell-shaped surface for these frequencies.

The crystal grown in an oxygen atmosphere is insulating and highly transparent for a visible light, nevertheless, the formation of dynamic space-charge gratings and observation of the photo-EMF signal is achieved under the laser illumination with wavelength λ = 532 nm. The induced ac current is studied for the cases of zero and non-zero external electric fields, which imply the non-resonant and resonant mechanisms of space-charge recording.

The proposed device does not require any numerical signal processing since its output signal is, in appropriate regions, linearly related to the measured displacement. The proposed system requires an illuminating field with a sinusoidal amplitude distribution and low fringe visibility.

: Nickel silicide Schottky diodes formed on polycrystalline Si 〈P〉 films are proposed as temperature sensors of monolithic uncooled microbolometer infrared focal plane arrays. The structure and composition of nickel silicide/polycrystalline silicon films synthesized in a low-temperature process are examined by means of transmission electron microscopy. The Ni silicide is identified as a multi-phase compound composed of 20% to 40% of Ni3Si, 30% to 60% of Ni2Si, and 10% to 30% of NiSi with probable minor content of NiSi2 at the silicide/poly-Si interface.
