    In this letter, we experimentally demonstrate the multiwavelength ytterbium-Brillouin random fiber laser for the first time, in the half-open cavity formed by a fiber loop mirror and randomly distributed Rayleigh mirrors. With a cladding-pumped ytterbium-doped fiber and a long TrueWave fiber, the narrow linewidth Brillouin pump can generate multiple Brillouin Stokes lines with hybrid ytterbium-Brillouin gain. Up to six stable channels with a spacing of about 0.06 nm are obtained. This work extends the operation wavelength of the multiwavelength Brillouin random fiber laser to the 1 µm band, and has potential in various applications.

    A tunable ytterbium-doped fibre laser is fabricated. The laser is tuned by using a tunable fibre Bragg grating (FBG) as a selecting intracavity element. The laser is tunable within 45 nm (from 1063 to 1108 nm) and emits {approx}6 W in the line of width {approx}0.15 nm, the output power and linewidth being virtually invariable within the tuning range. The method is proposed for synchronous tuning the highly reflecting and output FBGs, and a tunable ytterbium all-fibre laser is built. (lasers)

    Supercontinuum generation directly from a nonlinear fiber amplifier, especially from a nonlinear ytterbium-doped fiber amplifier, attracts more and more attention due to its all-fiber structure, high optical to optical conversion efficiency, and high power output potential. However, the modeling of supercontinuum generation from a nonlinear fiber amplifier has been rarely reported. In this paper, the modeling of a tapered Ytterbium-doped fiber amplifier for visible extended to infrared supercontinuum generation is proposed based on the combination of the laser rate equations and the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Ytterbium-doped fiber amplifier generally can not generate visible extended supercontinuum due to its pumping wavelength and zero-dispersion wavelength. However, appropriate tapering and four-wave mixing makes the visible extended supercontinuum generation from an ytterbium-doped fiber amplifier possible. Tapering makes the zero-dispersion wavelength of the ytterbium-doped fiber shift to the short wavelength and minimizes the dispersion matching. Four-wave mixing plays an important role in the visible spectrum generation. The influence of pulse width and pump power on the supercontinuum generation is calculated and analyzed. The simulation results imply that it is promising and possible to fabricate a visible-to-infrared supercontinuum with low pump power and flat spectrum by using the tapered ytterbium-doped fiber amplifier scheme as long as the related parameters are well-selected.

    Paramagnetic centers formed by impurity Yb3+ ions in synthetic forsterite (Mg2SiO4) grown by the Czochralski technique are studied by X-band CW and pulsed EPR spectroscopy. These centers are single ions substituting magnesium in two different crystallographic positions denoted M1 and M2, and dimer associates formed by two Yb3+ ions in nearby positions M1. It is established that there is a pronounced mechanism favoring self-organization of ytterbium ions in dimer associates during the crystal growth, and the mechanism of the spin-spin coupling between ytterbium ions in the associate has predominantly a dipole-dipole character, which makes it possible to control the energy of the spin-spin interaction by changing the orientation of the external magnetic field. The structural computer simulation of cluster ytterbium centers in forsterite crystals is carried out by the method of interatomic potentials using the GULP 4.0.1 code (General Utility Lattice Program). It is established that the formation of dimer associates in the form of a chain parallel to the crystallographic axis consisting of two ytterbium ions with a magnesium vacancy between them is the most energetically favorable for ytterbium ions substituting magnesium in the position M1.

    To evaluate the radiopacity, degree of conversion (DC) and flexural strength of an experimental dental cement, with several added radiopaque substances. Titanium dioxide, quartz, zirconia, bismuth oxide, barium sulphate and ytterbium trifluoride were added to the experimental cement in five different concentrations. Radiopacity was evaluated with a phosphor plate system, and the radiodensity of specimens was compared with an aluminium step-wedge. DC was evaluated with FT-infrared spectroscopy following 20 s of photo-activation. Specimens with dimensions of 12 x 2 x 2 mm were used for the flexural strength test. Data were analysed with two-way anova and Tukey's post hoc test. Radiopacity of the experimental dental cements with barium sulphate and bismuth oxide at 40% and ytterbium fluoride at 30% and 40% showed no significant differences in comparison with 3 mm of Al (181, 96). The experimental dental cements with at least 30% added ytterbium trifluoride had satisfactory radiopacity without influencing other properties.

    Chemical co-precipitation route adopted to synthesize the magnetic materials. In the present work, iron is replaced by ytterbium ion in manganese-based spinel ferrites. The yield chemically represented by MnYb x Fe2- x O4 ( x = 0.00, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, 0.10) and its structural, magnetic and electrical properties were observed. The cubic structure of spinel ferrites was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. Spherically shaped grains were perceived in SEM pictures and size lessened with the growth of ytterbium concentration. SEM profile also shows little irregularity in spherical particles. The substitution of ytterbium (Yb) results in the enhancement of electrical resistivity. The resistivity was reduced with the gradual increase in temperature from 303 to 693 K. The trend of activation energy was found to be similar to that of room temperature resistivity. The coercivity of samples was raised with Yb-ion substitution while saturation magnetization and remanence reduced.

    Single frequency 1083nm ytterbium fiber master oscillator power amplifier system was demonstrated. The oscillator was a linear fiber cavity with loop mirror filter and polarization controller. The loop mirror with unpumped ytterbium fiber as a narrow bandwidth filter discriminated and selected laser longitudinal modes efficiently. Spatial hole burning effect was restrained by adjusting polarization controller appropriately in the linear cavity. The amplifier was 5 m ytterbium doped fiber pumped by 976nm pigtail coupled laser diode. The linewidth of the single frequency laser was about 2 KHz. Output power up to 177 mW was produced under the launched pump power of 332 mW.

    Preparation of a ytterbium-tagged gunshot residue (GSR) reference standard for scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopic (SEM-EDS) microanalysis is reported. Two different chemical markers, ytterbium and neodymium, were evaluated by spiking the primers of 38 Special ammunition cartridges (no propellant, no projectile) and discharging them onto 12.7 mm diameter aluminum SEM pin stubs. Following SEM-EDS microanalysis, the majority of tri-component particles containing lead, barium, and antimony (PbBaSb) were successfully tagged with the chemical marker. Results demonstrate a primer spiked with 0.75% weight percent of ytterbium nitrate affords PbBaSb particles characteristic of GSR with a ytterbium inclusion efficiency of between 77% and 100%. Reproducibility of the method was verified, and durability of the ytterbium-tagged tri-component particles under repeated SEM-EDS analysis was also tested. The ytterbium-tagged PbBaSb particles impart synthetic traceability to a GSR reference standard and are suitable for analysis alongside case work samples, as a positive control for quality assurance purposes. © 2015 American Academy of Forensic Sciences.

  9. Residual stresses and phase transformations in Ytterbium silicate environmental barrier coatings

    NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

    Stolzenburg, Fabian

    Due to their high melting temperature, low density, and good thermomechanical stability, silicon-based ceramics (SiC, Si3N4) are some of the most promising materials systems for high temperature structural applications in gas turbine engines. However, their silica surface layer reacts with water vapor contained in combustion environments. The resulting hydroxide layer volatilizes, leading to component recession. Environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) have been developed to shield the substrate from degradation. Next generation coatings for silicon-based ceramics based on ytterbium silicates have shown a promising combination of very low and good thermomechanical properties. The focus of this thesis is threefold: In the first part, phase transformations in plasma sprayed ytterbium silicates were investigated. Plasma sprayed materials are known to contain large amounts of amorphous material. Phase changes during the conversion from amorphous to crystalline materials were investigated as they have been known to lead to failure in many coatings. The second part of this work focused on measuring residual stresses in multilayer EBCs using synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD). Strains were resolved spatially, with probe sizes as small as 20 um. Stresses were calculated using mechanical properties of ytterbium silicates, determined with in-situ loading and heating experiments. In-situ and ex-situ heating experiments allowed for the study of changes in stress states that occur in these EBC materials during heating and cooling cycles. Lastly, the interaction of ytterbium silicates with low-melting environmental calcium-magnesium-aluminosilicate (CMAS) glasses was studied. Synchrotron XRD was used to study the influence of CMAS on the stress state in the coating, X-ray computed tomography was used to provide 3D images of coatings, and EDS and TEM analysis were used to study the interactions at the CMAS/ytterbium silicate interface in detail.

    Here, we demonstrate efficient energy transfer from near-infrared-emitting ortho-mercaptobenzoic acid-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to pendant ytterbium(III) cations. These functional materials combine the high molar absorptivity (1.21 × 10 6 M -1 cm -1 ) and broad excitation features (throughout the UV and visible regions) of AuNPs with the narrow emissive properties of lanthanides. Interaction between the AuNP ligand shell and ytterbium is determined using both nuclear magnetic resonance and electron microscopy measurements. In order to identify the mechanism of this energy transfer process, the distance of the ytterbium(III) from the surface of the AuNPs is systematically modulated by changing the size of the ligand appended to the AuNP. By studying the energy transfer efficiency from the various AuNP conjugates to pendant ytterbium(III) cations, a Dexter-type energy transfer mechanism is suggested, which is an important consideration for applications ranging from catalysis to energy harvesting. Taken together, these experiments lay a foundation for the incorporation of emissive AuNPs in energy transfer systems.

    A photonic bandgap fibre with an ytterbium-doped silica glass core is fabricated and investigated. The possibility of implementing single-mode operation of such fibres in a wide spectral range at a large (above 20 {mu}m) mode field diameter makes them promising for fibre lasers and amplifiers. To ensure a high quality of the beam emerging from the fibre, particular attention is paid to increasing the optical homogeneity of the ytterbium-doped core glass. (optical fibres)

    Photochemical reactions induced in the glass network of an ytterbium-doped fibre core by IR laser pumping and UV irradiation have been investigated by analysing absorption and luminescence spectra. We have performed comparative studies of the photoinduced absorption and luminescence spectra of fibre preforms differing in core glass composition: Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} : SiO{sub 2}, Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} : Yb{sub 2}O{sub 3} : SiO{sub 2}, and P{sub 2}O{sub 5} : Yb{sub 2}O{sub 3} : SiO{sub 2}. The UV absorption spectra of unirradiated preform core samples show strong bands peaking at 5.1 and 6.5 eV, whose excitation plays a key role inmore » photoinduced colour centre generation in the glass network. 'Direct' UV excitation of the 5.1- and 6.5-eV absorption bands at 244 and 193 nm leads to the reduction of some of the Yb{sup 3+} ions to Yb{sup 2+}. The photodarkening of ytterbium-doped fibres by IR pumping is shown to result from oxygen hole centre generation. A phenomenological model is proposed for the IR-pumping-induced photodarkening of ytterbium-doped fibres. The model predicts that colour centre generation in the core glass network and the associated absorption in the visible range result from a cooperative effect involving simultaneous excitation of a cluster composed of several closely spaced Yb{sup 3+} ions.« less

    A stable dual-wavelength ytterbium-doped photonic crystal fiber laser pumped by a 976 nm laser diode has been demonstrated at room temperature. Single-wavelength, dual-wavelength laser oscillations are observed when the fiber laser operates under different pump power by using different length of fibers. Stable dual-wavelength radiation around 1045 nm and 1075 nm has been generated simultaneously at a high pump power directly from an ytterbium-doped fiber laser without using any spectral control mechanism. A small core ytterbium-doped PCF fabricated by the powder sinter direction drawn rod technology is used as gain medium. The pump power and fiber length which can affect the output characteristics of dual-wavelength fiber laser are analyzed in the experiment. Experiments confirm that higher pump power and longer fiber length favors 1075 nm output; lower pump power and shorter fiber length favors 1045 nm output. Those results have a good reference in multi-wavelength fiber laser.

    2015-03-01

    Ytterbium disilicate is of interest as a potential environmental barrier coating for aerospace applications, notably for use in next generation jet turbine engines. In such applications, the diffusion of oxygen and water vapor through these coatings is undesirable if high temperature corrosion is to be avoided. In an effort to understand the diffusion process in these materials, we have performed kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of vacancy-mediated oxygen diffusion in Ytterbium Disilicate. Oxygen vacancy site energies and diffusion barrier energies are computed using Density Functional Theory. We find that many potential diffusion paths involve large barrier energies, but some paths have barrier energies smaller than one electron volt. However, computed vacancy formation energies suggest that the intrinsic vacancy concentration is small in the pure material, with the result that the material is unlikely to exhibit significant oxygen permeability.

    Using a short linear cavity composed of a section of highly ytterbium-doped fiber surrounded by two fiber Bragg gratings, dual frequency switching is achieved by tuning the pump power of the laser. The dual-frequency switching is generated by the thermal effects of the absorbed pump in the ytterbium-doped fiber. At each frequency, the laser shows single-longitudinal-mode behavior. In each single-mode regime, the optical signal-to-noise ratio of the laser is greater than 50 dB. The dual-frequency, switchable, fiber laser can be designed for various applications by the careful selection of the two gratings.

    Processes of cutting stainless steel by ytterbium fibre and CO{sub 2} lasers have been experimentally compared. The cut surface roughnesses for 3- and 5-mm-thick stainless steel sheets are determined. The absorption coefficient of laser radiation during cutting is measured. It is established that the power absorbed by metal during cutting by the CO{sub 2} laser exceeds that for the ytterbium laser (provided that the cutting speed remains the same). The fact that the maximum cutting speed of the CO{sub 2} laser is lower than that of the ytterbium fibre laser is explained. (laser technologies)

    New complexes of ytterbium with asymmetric porphyrins containing substituents in β-positions and hydrophobic meso-(monophenyl-p-oxypropyl)triphenylporphyrin (OPP) were obtained and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis absorption and luminescence spectroscopy. Electronic absorption, luminescence and luminescence excitation spectra of these complexes were studied at 295 K in DMF solutions and in the water-lecithin medium. The 4f-luminescence of ytterbium-porphyrins in the near infrared (IR) spectral region (λmax = 980 nm) is observed under excitation in Soret band (400-430 nm). The effect of substituent in porphyrin macroring on the 4f-luminescent properties was also investigated. The conjugates of these compounds with protein molecules - bovine serum albumin (BSA) were investigated as well. These compounds are interesting at the initial stage of diagnostics of tumor tissues as IR-luminescent probes due to their spectral-luminescent characteristics and some biochemical properties.

    We have studied the photodarkening in active fibres with an ytterbium-doped phosphosilicate glass core under IR irradiation with a pump source (920 nm) and UV irradiation (193 nm). Analysis of absorption and luminescence spectra suggests that such irradiations produce phosphorus – oxygen – hole centres (P-OHCs) in the core glass network and lead to the reduction of the ytterbium ions to a divalent state (Yb{sup 2+}). The photoinduced optical loss in the fibres in the visible range (400 – 700 nm) is mainly due to absorption by the P-OHCs. A quantum-mechanical model is proposed for P-OHC and Yb{sup 2+} formation.more » (nonlinear optical phenomena)« less

    Experimental nuclear structure data for the known A=164 isobaric nuclides (Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Hf, Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir) have been evaluated, and presented together with Adopted properties of level energies, and associated γ rays. The decay data for these nuclides have also been evaluated, providing Adopted values of γ and β radiations, and log ft values. No excited states are known in 164Eu, 164Tb, and 164Ir. Information for 164Gd, 164Re and 164Os is limited due to insufficient experimental data. For radioactive nuclides, decay schemes of 164Sm, 164Gd and 164Re are not known, and those of 164W, 164Tb, 164Lu, 164Hf, 164Ta and 164W are incomplete. The decay schemes of 164Ho and the two activities of 164Tm seem fairly complete. The decay scheme of 164Yb presents a major problem that the Q(ε) value of 887 keV 29 recommended in 2017Wa10 is in disagreement with the population of levels at 928, 952 and 1060 keV in the daughter nucleus. This decay scheme, which so far has been mainly reported in a secondary reference (1982AdZZ) needs further investigation. Also the masses of 164Yb and 164Tm need either new measurements or a re-evaluation to resolve discrepancy of about 220 keV in the Q value of 164Yb decay to 164Tm. The reactions and decays for which no new experimental information has become available since the 2001 update have undergone revisions to incorporate conversion coefficients from BrIcc code, and evaluated Q values from 2017Wa10, but the essential content of such datasets may have remained the same as in previous evaluations. In this respect the present work greatly benefited from all the previous NDS evaluations (2001Si27,1992Sh07, 1986Sh03,1974Bu30), but at the same time data presented herein supersede all the previous published evaluations.

  2. Modelling the competition between photo-darkening and photo-bleaching effects in high-power ytterbium-doped fibre amplifiers

    NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

    2017-08-01

    We propose an innovative, fully space-time model to take into account the seed-dependent nature of ageing penalties in high-power ytterbium-doped fibre amplifiers. Ageing is shown to be based on the on-going competition between photo-darkening and photo-bleaching phenomena. Our approach is based on the natural interplay between the excited states of co-existing ytterbium pairs and colour centres in highly doped fibres, in the presence of thermal coupling between the closely spaced excited states. As initiated from IR photons, the excitation of colour centres up to the UV band is supposed to be governed by multi-photon absorption. The interactions of interest in the kinetics of photo-bleaching then take the form of highly efficient charge transfers, which imply the reduction of some fraction of the basically trivalent ions to their divalent state. Due to the activation of ytterbium pairs by means of energy transfer up-conversion, these interactions get more and more effective at elevated operating powers. Computational results using these principles actually help to fit our experimental data regarding seeding effects, as well as fully generic trends already evidenced in the literature. This gives a fine demonstration for the need to discriminate co-active pump and signal contributions. Our self-consistent, still simplified model then consists of a valuable tool to help for a deeper understanding of the ageing issues. Furthermore, considering higher-order ytterbium aggregates, this should open new routes towards more comprehensive models.

  3. Kinetic Monte Carlo Simulation of Oxygen Diffusion in Ytterbium Disilicate

    2015-01-01

    Ytterbium disilicate is of interest as a potential environmental barrier coating for aerospace applications, notably for use in next generation jet turbine engines. In such applications, the transport of oxygen and water vapor through these coatings to the ceramic substrate is undesirable if high temperature oxidation is to be avoided. In an effort to understand the diffusion process in these materials, we have performed kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of vacancy-mediated and interstitial oxygen diffusion in Ytterbium disilicate. Oxygen vacancy and interstitial site energies, vacancy and interstitial formation energies, and migration barrier energies were computed using Density Functional Theory. We have found that, in the case of vacancy-mediated diffusion, many potential diffusion paths involve large barrier energies, but some paths have barrier energies smaller than one electron volt. However, computed vacancy formation energies suggest that the intrinsic vacancy concentration is small. In the case of interstitial diffusion, migration barrier energies are typically around one electron volt, but the interstitial defect formation energies are positive, with the result that the disilicate is unlikely to exhibit experience significant oxygen permeability except at very high temperature.

    We present high-resolution two-color photoassociation spectroscopy of Bose-Einstein condensates of ytterbium atoms. The use of narrow Raman resonances and careful examination of systematic shifts enabled us to measure 13 bound-state energies for three isotopologues of the ground-state ytterbium molecule with standard uncertainties of the order of 500 Hz. The atomic interactions are modeled using an ab initio based mass-scaled Born-Oppenheimer potential whose long-range van der Waals parameters and total WKB phase are fitted to experimental data. We find that the quality of the fit of this model, of about 112.9 kHz (rms) can be significantly improved by adding the recently calculated beyond-Born-Oppenheimer (BBO) adiabatic corrections [J. J. Lutz and J. M. Hutson, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 330, 43 (2016), 10.1016/j.jms.2016.08.007] and by partially treating the nonadiabatic effects using distance-dependent reduced masses. Our BBO interaction model represents the experimental data to within about 30.2 kHz on average, which is 3.7 times better than the "reference" Born-Oppenheimer model. We calculate the s -wave scattering lengths for bosonic isotopic pairs of ytterbium atoms with error bars over two orders of magnitude smaller than previous determinations. For example, the s -wave scattering length for 174Yb is +5.55812 (50 ) nm.

  9. Size-dependent abnormal thermo-enhanced luminescence of ytterbium-doped nanoparticles.

    PubMed

    Cui, Xiangshui; Cheng, Yao; Lin, Hang; Huang, Feng; Wu, Qingping; Wang, Yuansheng

    2017-09-21

    Thermal quenching above 300 K is widely expected in photoluminescence. Luminescence quenching is usually ascribed to the non-radiative relaxation of excited electrons to the ground state of the activators, during which a high temperature always plays a role in pushing the excited electrons towards the quenching channels, leading to thermal quenching. For the lanthanide-doped nanoparticles, however, there is a special luminescence quenching channel that does not exist in their bulk counterparts, i.e., energy migration-induced surface quenching. Herein, a size-dependent abnormal thermal enhancement of luminescence in the temperature range of 300 K to 423 K in the ytterbium-doped fluoride nanoparticles is presented for the first time. Importantly, in this work, we originally demonstrate that the energy migration-induced surface quenching can be suppressed by increasing temperature, which results in the abnormal thermal enhancement of luminescence. According to the temperature-dependent X-ray diffraction and lifetime analyses, an underlying mechanism based on the effect of thermal lattice expansion on ytterbium-mediated energy migration is proposed. This new finding adds new insights to the size effect on the luminescent characteristics of nanoparticles, which could be utilized to construct some unique nanostructures, especially for many important temperature-related purposes, such as thermal sensing technology.

  7. Anion dependent ion pairing in concentrated ytterbium halide solutions

    NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

    Klinkhammer, Christina; Böhm, Fabian; Sharma, Vinay; Schwaab, Gerhard; Seitz, Michael; Havenith, Martina

    2018-06-01

    We have studied ion pairing of ytterbium halide solutions. THz spectra (30-400 cm-1) of aqueous YbCl3 and YbBr3 solutions reveal fundamental differences in the hydration structures of YbCl3 and YbBr3 at high salt concentrations: While for YbBr3 no indications for a changing local hydration environment of the ions were experimentally observed within the measured concentration range, the spectra of YbCl3 pointed towards formation of weak contact ion pairs. The proposed anion specificity for ion pairing was confirmed by supplementary Raman measurements.

  8. Towards diode-pumped mid-infrared praseodymium-ytterbium-doped fluoride fiber lasers

    NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

    Woodward, R. I.; Hudson, D. D.; Jackson, S. D.

    2018-02-01

    We explore the potential of a new mid-infrared laser transition in praseodymium-doped fluoride fiber for emission around 3.4 μm, which can be conveniently pumped by 0.975 μm diodes via ytterbium sensitizer co-doping. Optimal cavity designs are determined through spectroscopic measurements and numerical modeling, suggesting that practical diode-pumped watt-level mid-infrared fiber sources beyond 3 μm could be achieved.

  17. Charge-transfer state excitation as the main mechanism of the photodarkening process in ytterbium-doped aluminosilicate fibres

    DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

    Bobkov, K K; Rybaltovsky, A A; Vel'miskin, V V

    2014-12-31

    We have studied photodarkening in ytterbium-doped fibre preforms with an aluminosilicate glass core. Analysis of their absorption and luminescence spectra indicates the formation of stable Yb{sup 2+} ions in the glass network under IR laser pumping at a wavelength λ = 915 nm and under UV irradiation with an excimer laser (λ = 193 nm). We have performed comparative studies of the luminescence spectra of the preforms and crystals under excitation at a wavelength of 193 nm. The mechanism behind the formation of Yb{sup 2+} ions and aluminium – oxygen hole centres (Al-OHCs), common to ytterbium-doped YAG crystals and aluminosilicatemore » glass, has been identified: photoinduced Yb{sup 3+} charge-transfer state excitation.

  7. Cladding-pumped ytterbium-doped fiber laser with radially polarized output.

    PubMed

    Lin, Di; Daniel, J M O; Gecevičius, M; Beresna, M; Kazansky, P G; Clarkson, W A

    2014-09-15

    A simple technique for directly generating a radially polarized output beam from a cladding-pumped ytterbium-doped fiber laser is reported. Our approach is based on the use of a nanograting spatially variant waveplate as an intracavity polarization-controlling element. The laser yielded ~32 W of output power (limited by available pump power) with a radially polarized TM (01)-mode output beam at 1040 nm with a corresponding slope efficiency of 66% and a polarization purity of 95%. The beam-propagation factor (M(2)) was measured to be ~1.9-2.1.

  15. Creation of quantum-degenerate gases of ytterbium in a compact 2D-/3D-magneto-optical trap setup

    DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

    Doerscher, Soeren; Thobe, Alexander; Hundt, Bastian

    2013-04-15

    We report on the first experimental setup based on a 2D-/3D-magneto-optical trap (MOT) scheme to create both Bose-Einstein condensates and degenerate Fermi gases of several ytterbium isotopes. Our setup does not require a Zeeman slower and offers the flexibility to simultaneously produce ultracold samples of other atomic species. Furthermore, the extraordinary optical access favors future experiments in optical lattices. A 2D-MOT on the strong {sup 1}S{sub 0}{yields}{sup 1}P{sub 1} transition captures ytterbium directly from a dispenser of atoms and loads a 3D-MOT on the narrow {sup 1}S{sub 0}{yields}{sup 3}P{sub 1} intercombination transition. Subsequently, atoms are transferred to a crossed opticalmore » dipole trap and cooled evaporatively to quantum degeneracy.« less

  7. Observation of defect-assisted enhanced visible whispering gallery modes in ytterbium-doped ZnO microsphere

    NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

    Khanum, Rizwana; Moirangthem, Rakesh S.; Das, Nayan Mani

    2017-06-01

    Smooth surfaced and crystalline undoped and ytterbium doped zinc oxide (ZnO) microspheres having an approximate size of 3-5 μm were synthesized by hydrothermal process. Out of these microspheres, a single microparticle was chosen and engaged as a whispering gallery wave microresonator. The defect induced luminescence from an individual ZnO microsphere was investigated with micro-photoluminescence measurement in the spectral range of 565 to 740 nm under the excitation of a green laser having a centered wavelength at 532 nm. The defects-related emissions from a single ZnO microsphere show optical resonance peaks so-called "whispering gallery modes" (WGMs) which are confirmed with the theoretical calculation. Further, ZnO microspheres were chemically doped with the different molar percentages of Ytterbium (Yb), and enhancement in their emission properties was investigated. Our experimental results show that ZnO microspheres with 0.5 mol. % doping of Yb gives the strongest optical emission and has highest Q-factor which can be employed in the development of WGM based optical biosensor or laser.

  8. 978-nm square-wave in an all-fiber single-mode ytterbium-doped fiber laser

    NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

    Li, Shujie; Xu, Lixin; Gu, Chun

    2018-01-01

    A 978 nm single mode passively mode-locked all-fiber laser delivering square-wave pulses was demonstrated using a figure-8 cavity and a 75 cm commercial double-clad ytterbium-doped fiber. We found the three-level system near 978 nm was able to operate efficiently under clad pumping, simultaneously oscillation around 1030 nm well inhibited. The optimized nonlinear amplifying loop mirror made the mode locking stable and performed the square-pulses shaping. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time to report the square-wave pulse fiber laser operating at 980 nm. The spectral width of the 978 mode-locked square pulses was about 4 nm, far greater than that of the mode-locked square pulses around 1060 nm reported before, which would be helpful to deeply understand the various square-wave pulses' natures and forming mechanisms. Compared with modulated single-mode or multimode 980 nm LDs, this kind of 980 nm square-wave sources having higher brightness, more steeper rising and falling edge and shorter pulse width, might have potential applications in pumping nanosecond ytterbium or erbium fiber lasers and amplifiers.

  11. Ytterbium-doped fibre laser Q-switched by a cantilever-type micro-mirror.

    PubMed

    Fabert, Marc; Desfarges-Berthelemot, Agnès; Kermène, Vincent; Crunteanu, Aurelian; Bouyge, David; Blondy, Pierre

    2008-12-22

    We present an Ytterbium fibre laser operating in the Q-switch regime by using a Micro- Opto- Electro- Mechanical System (MOEMS) of novel design. The cantilever-type micro-mirror is designed to generate short laser pulses with duration between 20 ns and 100 ns at repetition rates ranging from a few kilohertz up to 800 kHz. The bent profile of this new type of MOEMS ensures a high modulation rate of the laser cavity losses while keeping a high actuating frequency.

  12. Experimental Performance of a Single-Mode Ytterbium-doped Fiber Ring Laser with Intracavity Modulator

    2012-01-01

    We have developed a linearly polarized Ytterbium-doped fiber ring laser with a single longitudinal mode output at 1064 run. A fiber-coupled intracavity phase modulator ensured mode-hop free operation and allowed fast frequency tuning. The fiber laser was locked with high stability to an iodine-stabilized laser, showing a frequency noise suppression of a factor approx 10 (exp 5) at 1 mHz

  20. Deterministic chaos in an ytterbium-doped mode-locked fiber laser

    NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

    Mélo, Lucas B. A.; Palacios, Guillermo F. R.; Carelli, Pedro V.; Acioli, Lúcio H.; Rios Leite, José R.; de Miranda, Marcio H. G.

    2018-05-01

    We experimentally study the nonlinear dynamics of a femtosecond ytterbium doped mode-locked fiber laser. With the laser operating in the pulsed regime a route to chaos is presented, starting from stable mode-locking, period two, period four, chaos and period three regimes. Return maps and bifurcation diagrams were extracted from time series for each regime. The analysis of the time series with the laser operating in the quasi mode-locked regime presents deterministic chaos described by an unidimensional Rossler map. A positive Lyapunov exponent $\\lambda = 0.14$ confirms the deterministic chaos of the system. We suggest an explanation about the observed map by relating gain saturation and intra-cavity loss.

  16. Ytterbium coating of spherical Ni(OH) 2 cathode materials for Ni-MH batteries at elevated temperature

    NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

    He, Xiangming; Wang, Li; Li, Wen; Jiang, Changyin; Wan, Chunrong

    The Yb/Co coated nickel hydroxides were prepared by precipitation of Yb(OH) 3 on the surface of spherical nickel hydroxide, followed by precipitation of Co(OH) 2 on its surface. The optimum coating content of ytterbium was around 2% (atomic concentration) to obtain high discharge capacity at 60 °C. It was shown that the discharge capacity of nickel hydroxide at high temperatures was improved by coating of ytterbium and cobalt hydroxide. The high temperature performances of the sealed AAA-sized Ni-MH batteries using Yb/Co coated nickel hydroxide as positive electrodes were carried out, showing much better than those using the un-coated and only Co(OH) 2 coated nickel hydroxide electrodes. The charge acceptance of the battery using 2% Yb and 2% Co coated nickel hydroxide reached 92% at 60 °C, where the charge acceptances for the un-coated and only cobalt coated ones were only 42 and 46%, respectively. It has shown that the Yb/Co coating is an effective way to improve the high temperature performance of nickel hydroxide for nickel-metal hydride batteries.

  17. Reverse spontaneous laser line sweeping in ytterbium fiber laser

    NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

    Navratil, P.; Peterka, P.; Honzatko, P.; Kubecek, V.

    2017-03-01

    Self-induced laser line sweeping of various regimes of sweep direction is reported for an experimental ytterbium fiber laser. The regimes involve sweeping from shorter to longer wavelengths (1076~\\text{nm}\\to 1083 nm)—so-called normal self-sweeping; from longer to shorter wavelengths (1079~\\text{nm}\\to 1073 nm)—so-called reverse self-sweeping; and a mixed regime in which a precarious balance of the normal and reverse sweeping exists and the sweep direction can change between consecutive sweeps. The regimes of sweeping were selected by changing the pump wavelength only. A detailed explanation of this sweep direction dynamics is presented based on a semi-empirical model. This model also provides a way to predict the sweep direction of fiber lasers based on other rare-earth-doped laser media.

  20. Frequency doubling of a tunable ytterbium-doped fibre laser in KTP crystals phase-matched in the XY and YZ planes

    DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

    Akulov, V A; Kablukov, S I; Babin, Sergei A

    2012-02-28

    This paper presents an experimental study of frequency doubling of a tunable ytterbium-doped fibre laser in KTP crystals phase-matched in the XY and YZ planes. In the XY plane, we obtained continuous tuning in the range 528 - 540 nm through intracavity frequency doubling. The second-harmonic power reached 450 mW for 18 W of multimode diode pump power, which was five times higher in comparison with single-pass frequency doubling. In a single-pass configuration in the YZ plane, we obtained a wide tuning range (527 - 551 nm) in the green spectral region and a second-harmonic power of {approx}10 mW. Themore » tuning range was only limited by the mechanical performance of the fibre Bragg grating and can potentially be extended to the entire lasing range of the ytterbium-doped fibre laser.« less

    2004-01-01

    We discovered a low-mass companion to the M dwarf GJ 164 with the CCD-based imaging system of the Stellar Planet Survey astrometric program. The existence of GJ 164B was confirmed with Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS imaging observations. A high-dispersion spectral observation in V sets a lower limit of Deltam > 2.2 mag between the two components of the system. Based on our parallax value of 82 +/- 8 mas, we derive the following orbital parameters: P = 2.04 +/- 0.03 yr, a = 103 +/- 0.03, and M-total 0.265 +/- 0.020 M-circle dot. The component masses are M-A = 0.170 +/- 0.015 M-circle dot and M-B = 0.095 +/- 0/015 M-circle dot. Based on its mass, colors, and spectral properties, GJ 164B has spectral type M6-M8 V.

    Currently, laser radiation is used routinely in medical applications. For infrared lasers, bone ablation and the healing process have been reported, but no laser systems are established and applied in clinical bone surgery. Furthermore, industrial laser applications utilize computer and robot assistance; medical laser radiations are still mostly conducted manually nowadays. The purpose of this study was to compare the histological appearance of bone ablation and healing response in rabbit radial bone osteotomy created by surgical saw and ytterbium-doped fiber laser controlled by a computer with use of nitrogen surface cooling spray. An Ytterbium (Yb)-doped fiber laser at a wavelength of 1,070 nm was guided by a computer-aided robotic system, with a spot size of 100 μm at a distance of approximately 80 mm from the surface. The output power of the laser was 60 W at the scanning speed of 20 mm/s scan using continuous wave system with nitrogen spray level 0.5 MPa (energy density, 3.8 × 10(4) W/cm(2)). Rabbits radial bone osteotomy was performed by an Yb-doped fiber laser and a surgical saw. Additionally, histological analyses of the osteotomy site were performed on day 0 and day 21. Yb-doped fiber laser osteotomy revealed a remarkable cutting efficiency. There were little signs of tissue damage to the muscle. Lased specimens have shown no delayed healing compared with the saw osteotomies. Computer-assisted robotic osteotomy with Yb-doped fiber laser was able to perform. In rabbit model, laser-induced osteotomy defects, compared to those by surgical saw, exhibited no delayed healing response.

    We present original characterizations of photo-radio-darkening in ytterbium-doped silica optical fibers submitted to the simultaneous action of the pump and of an ionizing radiation. We present the interplay between both radiations, showing e.g. that the pump is able to darken or bleach the fiber depending on the ionizing dose. The photo-resistance of the fiber is shown to play a crucial role on its radio-resistance, and that photo-resistant fibers should be also radio-resistant in low dose rate conditions. All the results are thoroughly explained by a physical model presented in a separate article by Mady et al. (this conference proceeding)

    2015-02-23

    We report for the first time the characterization of glass-ceramics for optical refrigeration. Ytterbium-doped nanocrystallites were grown in an oxyfluoride glass matrix of composition 2YbF(3):30SiO(2)-15Al(2)O(3)-25CdF(2)-22PbF(2)-4YF(3), forming bulk glass-ceramics at three different crystalisation levels. The samples are compared with a corresponding uncrystalised (glass) sample, as well as a Yb:YAG sample which has presented optical cooling. The measured X-ray diffraction spectra, and thermal capacities of the samples are reported. We also report for the first time the use of Yb:YAG as a reference for absolute photometric quantum efficiency measurement, and use the same setup to characterize the glass and glass-ceramic samples. The cooling figure-of-merit was measured by optical calorimetry using a fiber Bragg grating and found to depend on the level of crystallization of the sample, and that samples with nanocrystallites result in higher quantum efficiency and lower background absorption than the pure-glass sample. In addition to laser-induced cooling, the glass-ceramics have the potential to serve as a reference for quantum efficiency measurements.

  3. Influence of ground-state scattering properties on photoassociation spectra near the intercombination line of bosonic ytterbium

    DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

    2010-10-29

    We study theoretically the properties of photoassociation spectra near the {sup 1}S{sub 0}-{sup 3}P{sub 1} inter-combination line of bosonic ytterbium. We construct a mass scaled model of the excited state interaction potential that well describes bound state energies obtained in a previous photoassociation experiment. We then use it to calculate theoretical photoassociation spectra in a range of ultracold temperatures using semianalytical theory developed by Bohn and Julienne.Photoassociation spectra not only give us the energies of excited bound states, but also provide information about the behavior of the ground state wavefunction. In fact, it can be shown that within the so-calledmore » reflection approximation the line intensity is proportional to the ground state wavefunction at the transition's Condon point. We show that in the case of ytterbium, the rotational structure of the photoassociation spectra depends heavily on the behavior of the ground-state wavefunction. The change of the scattering length from one isotope to another and the resulting occurence of shape resonances in higher partial waves determines the appearance and disapperance of rotational components, especially in the deeper lying states, whose respective Condon points lie near the ground state centrifugal barrier. Thus, photoassociation spectra differ qualitatively between isotopes.« less

    We report on the measurement of the longitudinal temperature distribution in a fiber amplifier fiber during high power operation. The measurement signal of an optical frequency domain reflectometer is coupled to an ytterbium doped amplifier fiber via a wavelength division multiplexer. The longitudinal temperature distribution was examined for different pump powers with a sub mm resolution. The results show even small temperature variations induced by slight changes of the environmental conditions along the fiber. The mode instability threshold of the fiber under investigation was determined to be 480W and temperatures could be measured overall the measured output power values.

    Due to an enormous potential of pulsed lasers in applications such as manufacturing, metrology, environmental sensing, and biomedical diagnostics, a high-power and stable Q-switched erbium-ytterbium codoped double-clad fiber laser (EYDFL) incorporating of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) saturable absorber (SA) made based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with a 3∶2 ratio is demonstrated. The SA was fabricated by mixing a dilute PVA solution with an MWCNTs homogeneous solution. Subsequently, the mixture was sonicated and centrifuged to produce a homogeneous suspension that was left to dry at room temperature to form the MWCNTs-PVA film. The SA was formed by inserting the film between a pair of FC/PC fiber connectors. Then, it was integrated into the EYDFL's ring cavity, which uses a 5-m-long erbium-ytterbium codoped fiber (EYDF). The lasing threshold for the Q-switched EYDFL was at 330 mW. At the maximum available pump power of 900 mW, the proposed EYDFL produced Q-switched pulses with a repetition rate of 74.85 kHz, pulsewidth of ˜3.6 μs, and an average output power of about 5 mW. The maximum energy per pulse of ˜85 nJ was obtained at pump power of ˜700 mW with peak power of 21 mW.

  8. Core-pumped mode-locked ytterbium-doped fiber laser operating around 980 nm

    Zhou, Yue; Dai, Yitang; Li, Jianqiang; Yin, Feifei; Dai, Jian; Zhang, Tian; Xu, Kun

    2018-07-01

    In this letter, we first demonstrate a core-pumped passively mode-locked all-normal-dispersion ytterbium-doped fiber oscillator based on nonlinear polarization evolution operating around 980 nm. The dissipative soliton fiber laser pulse can be compressed down to 250 fs with 1 nJ pulse energy, and the slope efficiency of the oscillator can be as high as 19%. To improve the dissipative soliton laser output spectrum smoothness, we replace the birefringent plate based intracavity filter with a diffraction-grating based filter. The output pulse duration can then be further compressed down to 180 fs with improved spectral-smoothness. These schemes have potential applications in seeding cryogenic Yb:YLF amplifiers and underwater exploration of marine resources.

  11. Erbium:ytterbium fiber-laser system delivering watt-level femtosecond pulses using divided pulse amplification

    NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

    Herda, Robert; Zach, Armin

    2015-03-01

    We present an Erbium:Ytterbium codoped fiber-amplifer system based on Divided-Pulses-Amplification (DPA) for ultrashort pulses. The output from a saturable-absorber mode-locked polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber oscillator is amplified in a PM normal-dispersion Erbium-doped fiber. After this stage the pulses are positively chirped and have a duration of 2.0 ps at an average power of 93 mW. A stack of 5 birefringent Yttrium-Vanadate crystals divides these pulses 32 times. We amplify these pulses using a double-clad Erbium:Ytterbium codoped fiber pumped through a multimode fiber combiner. The pulses double pass the amplifier and recombine in the crystals using non-reciprocal polarization 90° rotation by a Faraday rotating mirror. Pulses with a duration of 144 fs are obtained after separation from the input beam using a polarizing beam splitter cube. These pulses have an average power of 1.85 W at a repetition rate of 80 MHz. The generation of femtosecond pulses directly from the amplifier was enabled by a positively chirped seed pulse, normally dispersive Yttrium-Vanadate crystals, and anomalously dispersive amplifier fibers. Efficient frequency doubling to 780 nm with an average power of 725 mW and a pulse duration of 156 fs is demonstrated. In summary we show a DPA setup that enables the generation of femtosecond pulses at watt-level at 1560 nm without the need for further external dechirping and demonstrate a good pulse quality by efficient frequency doubling. Due to the use of PM fiber components and a Faraday rotator the setup is environmentally stable.

    We present an experimental study of liquid refractive index effects into Ytterbium ring fiber laser cavity configuration. The laser is operated using a bi-tapered optical fiber immersed in water-alcohol concentrations. When the tapered fiber is dipped into a distilled water, a single lasing line with a peak power centered at 1025 nm is achieved. Afterward, by changing the polarization state into the cavity the lasing line can be switched. Moreover, by modifying the refractive index liquid surrounding media the lasing lines can be controlled and special liquid provide nonlinear response. The laser offers compactness, low effective cost and good stability.

    2018-02-05

    We present the generation of high-peak-electric-field terahertz pulses via collinear optical rectification in a 2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxystyryl)-1-methilquinolinium-2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulfonate (HMQ-TMS) organic crystal. The crystal is pumped by an amplified ytterbium laser system, emitting 170-fs-long pulses centered at 1030 nm. A terahertz peak electric field greater than 200 kV/cm is obtained for 420 µJ of optical pump energy, with an energy conversion efficiency of 0.26% - about two orders of magnitude higher than in common inorganic crystals collinearly pumped by amplified femtosecond lasers. An open-aperture Z-scan measurement performed on an n-doped InGaAs thin film using such terahertz source shows a nonlinear increase in the terahertz transmission of about 2.2 times. Our findings demonstrate the potential of this terahertz generation scheme, based on ytterbium laser technology, as a simple and efficient alternative to the existing intense table-top terahertz sources. In particular, we show that it can be readily used to explore nonlinear effects at terahertz frequencies.

  15. Fibre amplifier based on an ytterbium-doped active tapered fibre for the generation of megawatt peak power ultrashort optical pulses

    2015-05-31

    We report a new ytterbium-doped active tapered fibre used in the output amplifier stage of a fibre laser system for the generation of megawatt peak power ultrashort pulses in the microjoule energy range. The tapered fibre is single-mode at its input end (core and cladding diameters of 10 and 80 μm) and multimode at its output end (diameters of 45 and 430 μm), but ultrashort pulses are amplified in a quasi-single-mode regime. Using a hybrid Er/Yb fibre system comprising an erbium master oscillator and amplifier at a wavelength near 1.5 μm, a nonlinear wavelength converter to the 1 μm rangemore » and a three-stage ytterbium-doped fibre amplifier, we obtained pulses of 1 μJ energy and 7 ps duration, which were then compressed by a grating-pair dispersion compressor with 60% efficiency to a 130 fs duration, approaching the transform-limited pulse duration. The present experimental data agree well with numerical simulation results for pulse amplification in the threestage amplifier. (extreme light fields and their applications)« less

    This paper describes an all-normal-dispersion pulsed ytterbium-doped fibre ring laser mode-locked by a nonlinear combined modulator based on single-wall carbon nanotubes. We have demonstrated 1.7-ps pulse generation at 1.04 μm with a repetition rate of 35.6 MHz. At the laser output, the pulses were compressed to 180 fs. We have examined an intracavity nonlinear modulator which utilises nonlinear polarisation ellipse rotation in conjunction with a saturable absorber in the form of a polymer-matrix composite film containing single-wall carbon nanotubes.

    We demonstrate a passively multi-wavelength Q-switched Ytterbium-doped fiber laser (YDFL) based on a multi-wall carbon nanotubes embedded in polyethylene oxide film as saturable absorber. The YDFL generates a stable multi-wavelength with spacing of 1.9 nm as the 980 nm pump power is fixed within 62. 4 mW and 78.0 mW. The repetition rate of the laser is tunable from 10.41 to 29.04 kHz by increasing the pump power from the threshold power of 62.4 mW to 78 mW. At 78 mW pump power, the maximum pulse energy of 38 nJ and the shortest pulse width of 8.87 µs are obtained.

    X-ray photoemission and x-ray photoabsorption were used to study the composition and the electronic structure of ytterbium doped strontium fluoroapatite (Yb:S-FAP). High resolution photoemission measurements on the valence band electronic structure was used to evaluate the density of occupied states of this fluoroapatite. Element specific density of unoccupied electronic states in Yb:S-FAP were probed by x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at the Yb 4d (N{sub 4,5}-edge), Sr 3d (M{sub 4,5}-edge), P 2p (L{sub 2,3}-edge), F 1s and O 1s (K-edges) absorption edges. These results provide the first measurements of the electronic structure and surface chemistry of this material.

  19. Control of pulse format in high energy per pulse all-fiber erbium/ytterbium laser systems

    NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

    Klopfer, Michael; Block, Matthew K.; Deffenbaugh, James; Fitzpatrick, Zak G.; Urioste, Michael T.; Henry, Leanne J.; Jain, Ravinder

    2017-02-01

    A multi-stage linearly polarized (PM) (15 dB) pulsed fiber laser system at 1550 nm capable of operating at repetition rates between 3 and 20 kHz was investigated. A narrow linewidth seed source was linewidth broadened to approximately 20 GHz and pulses were created and shaped via an electro-optic modulator (EOM) in conjunction with a home built arbitrary waveform generator. As expected, a high repetition rate pulse train with a near diffraction limited beam quality (M2 1.12) was achieved. However, the ability to store energy was limited by the number of active ions within the erbium/ytterbium doped gain fiber within the various stages. As a result, the maximum energy per pulse achievable from the system was approximately 0.3 and 0.38 mJ for 300 ns and 1 μs pulses, respectively, at 3 kHz. Because the system was operated at high inversion, the erbium/ytterbium doped optical fiber preferred to lase at 1535 nm versus 1550 nm resulting in amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) both intra- and inter-pulse. For the lower power stages, the ASE was controllable via a EOM whose function was to block the energy between pulses as well as ASE filters whose purpose was to block spectral components outside of the 1550 nm passband. For the higher power stages, the pump diodes were pulsed to enable strategic placement of an inversion resulting in higher intrapulse energies as well as an improved spectrum of the signal. When optimized, this system will be used to seed higher power solid state amplifier stages.

    Bykovskiy, D. P.; Petrovskii, V. N.; Uspenskiy, S. A.

    2015-03-01

    The vapour-plasma plume produced in the welding of 6-mm thick VT-23 titanium alloy plates by ytterbium fibre laser radiation of up to 10 kW power is studied in the protective Ar gas medium. High-speed video filming of the vapour-plasma plume is used to visualise the processes occurring during laser welding. The coefficient of inverse bremsstrahlung by the welding plasma plume is calculated from the data of the spectrometric study.

  1. A luminescent ytterbium(III)-organic framework for highly selective sensing of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol

    NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

    Xin, Xuelian; Zhang, Minghui; Ji, Shijie; Dong, Hanxiao; Zhang, Liangliang

    2018-06-01

    An ytterbium(III)-organic framework, [Yb4(abtc)3(HCOO) (H2O)]·(C2H8N) (H2O) (UPC-22, H4abtc = 3,3‧,5,5‧-azobenzene-tetracarboxylic acid) was synthesized under solvothermal conditions and characterized. UPC-22 exhibited strong H4abtc-based luminescence and can be used for sensing nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) in an ethanol suspension with outstanding selectivity and sensitivity. The most striking property of UPC-22 is its ability to selectively detect 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP), thereby rendering it a promising TNP-selective luminescence probe.

  1. Electronic Structure of Ytterbium-Doped Strontium Fluoroapatite: Photoemission and Photoabsorption Investigation

    DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

    Nelson, Art J.; Van Buuren, Tony W.; Bostedt, C

    X-ray photoemission and x-ray photoabsorption were used to study the composition and the electronic structure of ytterbium-doped strontium fluoroapatite (Yb:S-FAP). High resolution photoemission measurements on the valence band electronic structure and Sr 3d, P 2p and 2s, Yb 4d and 4p, F 1s and O 1s core lines were used to evaluate the surface and near surface chemistry of this fluoroapatite. Element specific density of unoccupied electronic states in Yb:S-FAP were probed by x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at the Yb 4d (N4,5-edge), Sr 3d (M4,5-edge), P 2p (L2,3-edge), F 1s and O 1s (K-edges) absorption edges. These results provide themore » first measurements of the electronic structure and surface chemistry of this material.« less

  17. Development of trivalent ytterbium doped fluorapatites for diode-pumped laser applications

    NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

    Bayramian, Andrew James

    2000-11-01

    A major motivator of this work is the Mercury Project, a one kilowatt diode-pumped solid-state laser system under development at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), which incorporates ytterbium doped strontium fluorapatite, Sr5(PO4)3F (S-FAP), as the amplifier gain medium. The primary focus of this thesis is a full understanding of the properties of this material, which is necessary for proper design and modeling of the system. Ytterbium-doped fluorapatites were investigated at LLNL prior to this work and found to be ideal candidate materials for high-power amplifier systems providing high absorption and emission cross sections, long radiative lifetimes, and high efficiency. A family of barium substituted S-FAP crystals was grown in an effort to modify the pump and emission bandwidths for application to broadband diode pumping and short pulse generation. Crystals of Yb 3+:Srs5-xBax(PO4) 3F where x < 1 showed homogeneous lines offering 8.4 nm (1.8X enhancement) of absorption bandwidth and 6.9 nm (1.4X enhancement) of emission bandwidth. The gain saturation fluence of Yb:S-FAP was measured to be 3.2 J/cm 2 with homogeneous extraction using a pump-probe experiment where the probe laser was a high intensity Q-switched master oscillator power amplifier system. The crystal quality of Czochralski grown Yb:S-FAP boules, which is effected by defects such as cracking, cloudiness, bubble core, slip dislocations, and anomalous absorption, was investigated interferometrically and quantified by means of Power Spectral Density (PSD) plots. Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) losses were evaluated by first measuring the SRS gain coefficient to be 1.3 cm/GW, then modeling the losses in the Mercury amplifier system. Countermeasures including the addition of bandwidth to the extraction beam and wedging of amplifier surfaces are shown to reduce the SRS losses allowing efficient laser gain extraction at higher intensities. Finally, an efficient Q-switched Yb:S-FAP oscillator

    In this demonstration, to achieve stabilized and wavelength-selectable single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) erbium-doped fiber (EDF) laser, a short length of ytterbium-doped fiber (YDF) is utilized to serve as a spatial multi-mode interference (MMI) inside a fiber cavity for suppressing multi-longitudinal-mode (MLM) significantly. In the measurement, the output powers and optical signal to noise ratios (OSNRs) of proposed EDF ring laser are measured between -9.85 and -5.71 dBm; and 38.03 and 47.95 dB, respectively, in the tuning range of 1530.0-1560.0 nm. In addition, the output SLM and stability performance are also analyzed and discussed experimentally.

    The redox behavior of samarium, europium and ytterbium ions was investigated in the ternary 6NaCl-9KCl- 5CsCl eutectic based melts between 823 and 1073 K employing cyclic voltammetry on a tungsten working electrode. Ln(II)/Ln(III) (Ln=Sm, Eu, Yb) reduction-oxidation is reversible and controlled by diffusion of the electroactive species at the potential scan rates up to 0.1 V/s. Formal standard redox potentials E*Ln(II)/Ln(III) were determined, and the thermodynamic and transport properties of the corresponding Ln(III) and Ln(II) ions were estimated.

    Brucellosis is a public health problem that is prevalent in several developing countries. The clinical and laboratory characteristics of 164 cases of brucellosis in Bursa, Turkey, were retrospectively evaluated. The ages of the 164 patients ranged from 15-85 years. All of the patients underwent the Rose Bengal test and 163 (99.4%) patients tested positive. 122 (74.4%) patients were diagnosed with acute brucellosis, 31 (18.9%) with subacute brucellosis and 11 (6.7%) with chronic brucellosis. Focal involvement was found in 101 (61.6%) patients. Although patients with focal involvement had a higher white blood cell count (p = 0.002), those without focal involvement had higher aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase values, and lower platelet values (p = 0.005, 0.007 and 0.039, respectively). Spondylodiscitis was observed on imaging in 58 (66.7%) of the 87 patients who presented with back pain. Among the 118 patients who were examined within the first month of treatment, 79 (66.9%) responded to treatment. The relapse rate was 11.6% among all 164 patients. Brucellosis should be considered as a differential diagnosis among patients who present with fever, and joint or back pain. Focal involvement should be investigated in the presence of leucocytosis, and subacute or chronic forms of brucellosis. To identify cases of spondylodiscitis, radiography should be performed in patients who present with back pain. Copyright: © Singapore Medical Association

  10. Kinetic Monte Carlo Simulation of Oxygen Diffusion in Ytterbium Disilicate

    NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS)

    Good, Brian S.

    2015-01-01

    Silicon-based ceramic components for next-generation jet turbine engines offer potential weight savings, as well as higher operating temperatures, both of which lead to increased efficiency and lower fuel costs. Silicon carbide (SiC), in particular, offers low density, good strength at high temperatures, and good oxidation resistance in dry air. However, reaction of SiC with high-temperature water vapor, as found in the hot section of jet turbine engines in operation, can cause rapid surface recession, which limits the lifetime of such components. Environmental Barrier Coatings (EBCs) are therefore needed if long component lifetime is to be achieved. Rare earth silicates such as Yb2Si2O7 and Yb2SiO5 have been proposed for such applications; in an effort to better understand diffusion in such materials, we have performed kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) simulations of oxygen diffusion in Ytterbium disilicate, Yb2- Si2O7. The diffusive process is assumed to take place via the thermally activated hopping of oxygen atoms among oxygen vacancy sites or among interstitial sites. Migration barrier energies are computed using density functional theory (DFT).

  11. Spin-orbit-coupled Fermi gases of two-electron ytterbium atoms

    Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) has been realized in bosonic and fermionic atomic gases opening an avenue to novel physics associated with spin-momentum locking. In this talk, we will demonstrate all-optical method coupling two hyperfine ground states of 173Yb fermions through a narrow optical transition 1S0 -> 3P1. An optical AC Stark shift is applied to split the ground hyperfine levels and separate out an effective spin-1/2 subspace from other spin states for the realization of SOC. The spin dephasing dynamics and the asymmetric momentum distribution of the spin-orbit coupled Fermi gas are observed as a hallmark of SOC. The implementation of all-optical SOC for ytterbium fermions should offer a new route to a long-lived spin-orbit coupled Fermi gas and greatly expand our capability in studying novel spin-orbit physics with alkaline-earth-like atoms. Other ongoing experimental works related to SOC will be also discussed.

    We developed a high-power laser system at a wavelength of 399 nm for laser cooling of ytterbium atoms with ultraviolet laser diodes. The system is composed of an external cavity laser diode providing frequency stabilized output at a power of 40 mW and another laser diode for amplifying the laser power up to 220 mW by injection locking. The systematic method for optimization of our injection locking can also be applied to high power light sources at any other wavelengths.

    A multimode interference filter with narrow transmission bandwidth and large self-imaging wavelength interval is constructed and implemented in an ytterbium doped fiber laser in all-fiber format for broad wavelength tunability as well as narrow spectral width of the output beam. The peak transmission wavelength of the multimode interference filter was tuned with the help of a standard in-fiber polarization controller. With this simple mechanism more than 30 nm (1038 nm-1070 nm) tuning range is demonstrated. The spectral width of the output beam from the laser was measured to be 0.05 nm.

    A multimode interference filter with narrow transmission bandwidth and large self-imaging wavelength interval is constructed and implemented in an ytterbium doped fiber laser in all-fiber format for broad wavelength tunability as well as narrow spectral width of the output beam. The peak transmission wavelength of the multimode interference filter was tuned with the help of a standard in-fiber polarization controller. With this simple mechanism more than 30 nm (1038 nm-1070 nm) tuning range is demonstrated. The spectral width of the output beam from the laser was measured to be 0.05 nm.

    The RM1 quantum chemical model for the calculation of complexes of Tm(III), Yb(III) and Lu(III) is advanced. Subsequently, we tested the models by fully optimizing the geometries of 126 complexes. We then compared the optimized structures with known crystallographic ones from the Cambridge Structural Database. Results indicate that, for thulium complexes, the accuracy in terms of the distances between the lanthanide ion and its directly coordinated atoms is about 2%. Corresponding results for ytterbium and lutetium are both 3%, levels of accuracy useful for the design of lanthanide complexes, targeting their countless applications. PMID:27223475

    CD40-CD154 interaction is an important process for cellular and humoral immunity regulation and can be effective in the body’s defense against tumors. In the present study, we evaluated the expression of CD40 in Wehi-164 cell line. CD40 expressions on the cell surface and in the cytoplasm were assessed by flow cytometry and intracellular staining assay, respectively. Also, the mRNA expression was identified by real time-PCR. The obtained results showed the high mRNA and cytoplasmic protein expression of CD40 but no surface expression. These results suggest that the Wehi-164 cell line down regulates expression of CD40 on the surface for evasion of immune system. PMID:20496113

    We have developed an optical lattice clock that can operate in dual modes: a strontium (Sr) clock mode and an ytterbium (Yb) clock mode. Dual-mode operation of the Sr-Yb optical lattice clock is achieved by alternately cooling and trapping 87 Sr and 171 Yb atoms inside the vacuum chamber of the clock. Optical lattices for Sr and Yb atoms were arranged with horizontal and vertical configurations, respectively, resulting in a small distance of the order of between the trapped Sr and Yb atoms. The 1 S 0 - 3 P 0 clock transitions in the trapped atoms were interrogated in turn and the clock lasers were stabilized to the transitions. We demonstrated the frequency ratio measurement of the Sr and Yb clock transitions by using the dual-mode operation of the Sr-Yb optical lattice clock. The dual-mode operation can reduce the uncertainty of the blackbody radiation shift in the frequency ratio measurement, because both Sr and Yb atoms share the same blackbody radiation.

    Nous avons étudié les performances laser en pompage par diode de puissance d'un nouveau cristal : le Sr3Y(BO3)3 (acronyme : BOYS), dopé à l'ytterbium. Son spectre d'émission particulièrement large en fait un matériau particulièrement prometteur pour la réalisation de lasers femtosecondes directement pompés par diode. Ses performances ont été comparées à celles d'un verre phosphate ainsi qu'à celles du cristal d' Yb:GdCOB dans les mêmes conditions. Nous démontrons que, tant du point de vue de l'efficacité laser que de la tenue aux fortes puissances, GdCOB et BOYS sont supérieurs au verre ; le BOYS est de surcroît plus accordable (sur 50 nm), mais son comportement thermique limite a priori son usage à des puissances de pompe modérées.

    2016-05-01

    We report on progress toward a high-precision ytterbium (Yb) Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) interferometer, with the goal of measuring h/m and thus the fine structure constant α. Here h is Planck's constant and m is the mass of a Yb atom. The use of the non-magnetic Yb atom makes our experiment insensitive to magnetic field noise. Our chosen symmetric 3-path interferometer geometry suppresses errors from vibration, rotation, and acceleration. The precision scales with the phase accrued due to the kinetic energy difference between the interferometer arms, resulting in a quadratic sensitivity to the momentum difference. We are installing and testing the laser pulses for large momentum transfer via Bloch oscillations. We will report on Yb BEC production in a new apparatus and progress toward realizing the atom optical elements for high precision measurements. We will also discuss approaches to mitigate two important systematics: (i) atom interaction effects can be suppressed by creating the BEC in a dynamically shaped optical trap to reduce the density; (ii) diffraction phase effects from the various atom-optical elements can be accounted for through an analysis of the light-atom interaction for each pulse.

    The on-off optical gain measurements as a function of the pump power were performed on porous silicon planar waveguides codoped by erbium and ytterbium ions. These measurements were obtained for different ratios of Yb concentration to Er concentration. The highest value of the gain was reached when the Yb concentration is three times higher than that of Er at a moderate 980nm pump power value equal to 70mW. Optical losses measurements have been performed on these waveguides and were equal to 2.1dB/cm and an internal gain of about 6.4dB/cm was obtained.

    The results of high-pressure low-temperature optical measurements in a diamond-anvil cell of bulk gallium nitride crystals implanted with ytterbium are reported in combination with crystal field calculations of the Yb(3+) energy levels. Crystal field analysis of splitting of the (2)F(7/2) and (2)F(5/2) states has been performed, with the aim of assigning all features of the experimental luminescence spectra. A thorough analysis of the pressure behavior of the Yb(3+) luminescence lines in GaN allowed the determination of the ambient-pressure positions and pressure dependence of the Yb(3+) energy levels in the trigonal crystal field as well as the pressure-induced changes of the spin-orbit coupling coefficient.

    2006-01-15

    A novel approach to achieving robust single-spatial-mode operation of cladding-pumped fiber lasers with multimode cores is reported. The approach is based on the use of a fiber geometry in which the core has a helical trajectory within the inner cladding to suppress laser oscillation on higher-order modes. In a preliminary proof-of-principle study, efficient single-mode operation of a cladding-pumped ytterbium-doped helical-core fiber laser with a 30 microm diameter core and a numerical aperture of 0.087 has been demonstrated. The laser yielded 60.4 W of output at 1043 nm in a beam with M2 < 1.4 for 92.6 W launched pump power from a diode stack at 976 nm. The slope efficiency at pump powers well above threshold was approximately 84%, which compares favorably with the slope efficiencies achievable with conventional straight-core Yb-doped double-clad fiber lasers.

    Background The chemokine stromal derived factor-1 (SDF-1 or CXCL12) and its receptor CXCR4 have been demonstrated to be crucial for the homing of stem cells and prostate cancers to the marrow. While screening prostate cancers for CXCL12-responsive adhesion molecules, we identified CD164 (MGC-24) as a potential regulator of homing. CD164 is known to function as a receptor that regulates stem cell localization to the bone marrow. Results Using prostate cancer cell lines, it was demonstrated that CXCL12 induced both the expression of CD164 mRNA and protein. Functional studies demonstrated that blocking CD164 on prostate cancer cell lines reduced the ability of these cells to adhere to human bone marrow endothelial cells, and invade into extracellular matrices. Human tissue microarrays stained for CD164 demonstrated a positive correlation with prostate-specific antigen levels, while its expression was negatively correlated with the expression of androgen receptor. Conclusion Our findings suggest that CD164 may participate in the localization of prostate cancer cells to the marrow and is further evidence that tumor metastasis and hematopoietic stem cell trafficking may involve similar processes.

    Oxyfluoride glasses doped with 2, 5, 8, 12, 16 and 20 mol% of ytterbium (Yb(3+)) ions have been prepared by the conventional melt-quenching technique. Their optical, thermal and thermo-mechanical properties were characterized. Luminescence intensity at 1020 nm under laser excitation at 920 nm decreases with increasing Yb(3+) concentration, suggesting a decrease in the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). The PLQY of the samples was measured with an integrating sphere using an absolute method. The highest PLQY was found to be 0.99(11) for the 2 mol% Yb(3+): glass and decreases with increasing Yb(3+) concentration. The mean fluorescence wavelength and background absorption of the samples were also evaluated. Upconversion luminescence under 975 nm laser excitation was observed and attributed to the presence of Tm(3+) and Er(3+) ions which exist as impurity traces with YbF3 starting powder. Decay curves for the Yb(3+): (2)F5/2 → (2)F7/2 transition exhibit single exponential behavior for all the samples, although lifetime decrease was observed for the excited level of Yb(3+) with increasing Yb(3+) concentration. Also observed are an increase in the PLQY and a slight decrease in lifetime with increasing the pump power. Finally, the potential of these oxyfluoride glasses with high PLQY and low background absorption for laser cooling applications is discussed.

  7. Synthesis and photocatalytic activity of ytterbium-doped titania/diatomite composite photocatalysts

    Ytterbium-doped titanium dioxide (Yb-TiO2)/diatomite composite materials with different Yb concentrations were prepared by sol-gel method. The phase structure, morphology, and chemical composition of the as-prepared composites were well characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) diffuse reflection spectroscopy. The XRD and Raman spectroscopy analysis indicated that the TiO2 existed in the form of pure anatase in the composites. The SEM images exhibited the well deposition and dispersion of TiO2 nanoparticles with little agglomeration on the surfaces of diatoms. The UV-vis diffuse reflection spectra showed that the band gap of TiO2 could be narrowed by the introduction of Yb species, which was further affected by doping concentration of Yb. The photocatalytic activity of synthesized samples was investigated by the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under UV light irradiation. It was observed that the photocatalytic degradation followed a pseudo-first-order kinetics according to the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model. Compared to TiO2 and TiO2/diatomite, the Yb-TiO2/diatomite composites exhibited higher photocatalytic activity toward degradation of MB using UV light irradiation.

    Herein, we demonstrate synthesis and application of two-dimensional (2D) rectangular ytterbium oxide (Yb 2 O 3 ) nanodisks via a facile hydrothermal method. The structural, morphological, compositional, crystallinity, and phase properties of as-synthesized nanodisks were carried out using several analytical techniques that showed well defined 2D rectangular nanodisks/sheet like morphologies. The average thickness and edge length of the nanosheet structures were 20 ± 5nm and 600 ± 50nm, respectively. To develop urea biosensor, glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) were modified with Yb 2 O 3 nanodisks, followed by urease immobilization and Nafion membrane covering (GCE/Yb 2 O 3 /Urease/Nafion). The fabricated biosensor showed sensitivity of 124.84μAmM -1 cm -2 , wide linear range of 0.05-19mM, detection limit down to ~ 2μM, and fast response time of ~ 3s. The developed biosensor was also used for the urea detection in water samples through spike-recovery experiments, which illustrates satisfactory recoveries. In addition, the obtained desirable selectivity towards specific interfering species, long-term stability, reproducibility, and repeatability further confirm the potency of as-fabricated urea biosensor.

    Intermediate energy proton scattering has been used to probe the spin part of the recently discovered low-lying isovector magnetic dipole transitions in the rotational rare earth nuclei 156Gd and 164Dy. A large spin response is found in 164Dy, whereas in 156Gd the results are consistent with the picture of a predominantly convective excitation. The results are discussed in the context of the IBA-2 model and recent RPA calculations.

    From γ-γ-γ coincidence studies of the prompt γ-rays emitted in the spontaneous fission (SF) of 252Cf with Gammasphere, the yrast energy levels in neutron-rich 162,164Gd were identified for the first time from 2+ to 16+ and from 2+ to 14+, respectively. The 2+ level energies are 71.6 and 73.3 keV in 162,164Gd, respectively. The transition energies from every level in 164Gd are higher than those from the same levels in 162Gd. There is a systematic decrease at every level of the moment of inertia (MOI) and similarly β2 deformation in N = 100 164Gd compared to N = 98 162Gd. The minimum in E(2+) and maxima in MOI and β2 occur at N = 98. This behavior is unexpected compared to the E(2+) and β2 trends in Er, Yb, and Hf nuclei where the minima and maxima occur at neutron midshell, N = 104.
