Thermo-optical characteristics of a new magneto-active material, Na(0.37)Tb(0.63)F(2.26) crystal, were investigated in this Letter. This crystal has a high value of magneto-optical figure-of-merit and negative optical anisotropy parameter that makes it a promising material for development of Faraday isolators for high-power lasers; in particular it gives opportunities for the realization of new schemes of optical isolators.

For the purpose of determining the characteristics of the Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside chloride (COGC) dye, both an FT-IR spectrometer and a UV-Visible spect rometer were employed through the process. At a wavelength of 473 nm, a diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) laser with an adjustable wavelength was used to quantify the thermally induced optical nonlinearity of the dye in a solvent composed of dimethylformamide. For the purpose of measuring the optical response, the Z-scan technique was utilised.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how methanol, ethylene glycol, and glycerol respond to heat from femtosecond laser pulses using a specialized technique called femtosecond laser-induced thermal lens spectroscopy (FTLS).
  • It was found that the response depends heavily on the pump power and the molecular structure of the solvents, with high pump power causing convection currents due to excess heat.
  • The research demonstrates that FTLS is an effective method for understanding how laser power, molecular structure, and hydrogen bonding affect the thermal and optical properties of these alcoholic solvents.

A highly sensitive temperature and refractive index (RI) sensor based on no-core fiber (NCF) cascaded with a balloon-shaped bent single-mode fiber (BSBSF) is proposed and demonstrated. The NCF can excite higher-order modes which will be concentrated and transmitted into the BSBSF due to the characteristic of self-imaging effect. The BSBSF has an excellent temperature performance due to the high thermo-optical coefficient and thermal expansion coefficient of the polymer coating.

The present research deals with the extremely sensitive temperature-sensing capabilities of defective one-dimensional photonic crystal structures (Si/PS/SiO). The proposed structure is realized by putting a defective layer of material silicon Dioxide (SiO) in the middle of a structure consisting of alternating layers of silicon (Si) and porous silica (PS). The transfer matrix method has been employed to examine the transmission characteristics of the proposed defective one-dimensional photonic crystal in addition to MATLAB software.
