Sensitive and Compact Sensor Employing a Visible Diode Laser and A High Finesse Optical Cavity for Trace Gas Detection (NO2)

A sensor with high sensitivity and selectivity for the detection of NO2 uses a simple diode laser operating nominally at 405 nm in the visible region, a high finesse optical cavity and a low noise photon detector. The sensor employs the multimode broad output of the diode laser with the high finesse optical cavity in an essentially off-axis arrangement that can provide large path lengths of the order of a km in a small volume cell. The detected absorption signal corresponds to multiple line integrated absorption spectroscopy (MLIS). Because the sensor uses visible radiation it can employ optics in the visible region that are normally less expensive. Also, the sensor is free from interference from atmospheric water vapor which is often a severe problem for sensors based on mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers operating in the mid-infrared (for example 1650 cm−1) region.

Method and apparatus for detecting and discriminating biological from non-biological species

This invention concerns the field of sample identification, in particular a method and apparatuses for identifying or discriminating biological species from non biological species, both as individual particles and as components of a composition, by pump-probe fluorescence spectroscopy for time-resolved detection or imaging. The method uses the finding that the UV-induced fluorescence of biological molecules is varied, in particular is depleted, by the addition of visible radiation, whereas this does not occur with non-biological organic molecules. The invention discriminates the fluorescence signals of bio and non-bio particles or species using a differential approach, i.e. the comparison. of the total fluorescence recorded with and without additional visible radiation. This allows to discriminate biological particles comprising aromatic amino-acids (AA), like peptides, proteins, bacteria, viruses, pollens, spores, etc., from non-biological particles, like aromatic (AH) or polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), carbonaceous aerosols, soot, etc.

Visible-radiation-based water-soluble monomer atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) method

The invention discloses a visible-radiation-based water-soluble monomer atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) method. Particularly, the method comprises the following steps: 1) preparing a catalyst / ligand complex solution; 2) carrying out ATRP in an n-heptane / ethanol mixed solvent; 3) after the polymerization finishes, adding water to induce the solution to be stratified, and carrying out treatment to obtain a polymer; and 4) adding a new monomer, an initiator and a two-component visible photoinitiator into the recovered catalyst / ligand complex to carry out the next polymerization. The ATRP reaction is carried out under the mild efficient visible radiation, thereby implementing superhigh monomer conversion rate (greater than 95%) within a wider wavelength range, and obtaining the high-controllability polymer. The method can recycle the catalyst, is simple to operate, and has the advantages of high designability, lower cost, time saving and labor saving.

Low-pressure gas-discharge lamp for influencing the endogenous melatonin balance

The invention relates to a low-pressure gas-discharge lamp which, with its light in the red spectral region, influences the biological circadian rhythm by controlling melatonin secretion. The tubular glass discharge vessel, which can also be in the shape of a double helix, is filled with a noble gas or noble-gas mixture and mercury. Electrodes for the supply of energy are arranged at both ends of the discharge vessel. The discharge vessel is multicoated on the inside by phosphor layers applied one after the other. The first phosphor layer located on the glass surface consists of phosphor which is excited both by ultraviolet mercury radiation between 180 nm and 400 nm and also by the blue radiation between 400 nm and 490 nm emitted by the mercury discharge, and by the visible radiation emitted by the second or further phosphor layers between 400 nm and 550 nm, where visible light having emission maxima in the region between 500 nm and 650 nm is generated. In combination with light sources for melatonin suppression, the low-pressure gas-discharge lamp is, with its warm light, particularly suitable for stimulation of the quasi-circadian rhythm in an individual in the absence of external conditions, such as sunlight. Owing to its good colour reproduction and high energy efficiency, it meets all necessary requirements of a light source for illumination tasks and is thus also suitable for general lighting.

Method for laterally-coupling frequency-converted laser radiation out of a resonator

In traveling-wave ring-resonator an optically nonlinear crystal for converting visible radiation to ultraviolet (UV) radiation has an input face and two output faces. The visible light propagates through the crystal from the input face to one of the output faces. That output face is coated with a dichroic optical coating that transmits unconverted visible light and reflects the ultraviolet light. The reflected ultraviolet light exits the optically nonlinear crystal via the other output face and is coupled out of the resonator at an angle to the resonator axis.
