Methods and devices for measurements using pump-probe spectroscopy in high-q microcavities

The use of optical microcavities, high-Q resonators and slow-light structures as tools for detecting molecules and probing conformations and measuring polarizability and anisotropy of molecules and molecular assemblies using a pump-probe approach is described. Resonances are excited simultaneously or sequentially with pump and probe beams coupled to the same microcavity, so that a pump beam wavelength can be chosen to interact with molecules adsorbed to the microcavity surface, whereas a probe beam wavelength can be chosen to non-invasively measure pump-induced perturbations. The induced perturbations are manifest due to changes of resonance conditions and measured from changes in transfer characteristics or from changes of the scattering spectra of a microcavity-waveguide system. The perturbations induced by the pump beam may be due to polarizability changes, changes in molecular conformation, breakage or formation of chemical bonds, triggering of excited states, and formation of new chemical species. Furthermore, heat may be generated due to absorption of the pump beam. Furthermore, the use resonant modes with different states of polarization allows for measurements of polarizability and its anisotropy in samples interacting with the optical device.

The invention relates to a hyperbranched polyester lithium ion battery gel electrolyte and a preparation method thereof. The gel electrolyte is formed by mixed liquor prepared from 5-30 percent by mass of hyperbranched photopolymer resin, 5-25 percent by mass of cross-linking agent, 1-10 percent by mass of initiator, 20-50 percent by mass of plasticizer, 20-50 percent by mass of lithium salt and the like by using a radiation crosslinking method or a heating crosslinking method and the like. In the invention, the hyperbranched structure of a hyperbranched polyester can effectively prevent chain segments from being crystallized, whereas the molecular conformation similar to a spheric shape can increase the free volume of the polyester; bigger space and fewer -COO- and ether bond structures among branch points of the hyperbranched polyester have very strong interreaction with oxygen in the carbonic ester plasticizer, and therefore, a large amount of liquid electrolyte can be contained, and the gel electrolyte has very high dissolving capacity on salts, which is beneficial to ionic migration and the increase of electrical conductivity so that a lithium ion battery prepared from the hyperbranched polyester lithium ion battery gel electrolyte has long service life, small internal resistance, better specific energy, simple preparation process and no pollution.
