The 3D finite difference time domain technique was carried out to study the optical transmission properties of nano-hole arrays in the gold thin film supported by materials with different index of refraction in the visible and infrared regions. A series of perforated nano-hole structures on the gold film at different hole radius, hole depth of 100 nm, and structural periodicity of 400 nm were studied. It was found that transmission properties (i.e., intensity, FWHM, and resonance position) were strongly affected by hole radius and surrounding medium index of refraction. The maximum optical transmittance was observed as 31.9 % in a nano-hole array of hole radius of 125 nm and refractive index of 1.3. The maximum sensitivity of 300 nm/RIU was obtained at index of refraction of 1.7, whereas the minimum one was calculated as 110 nm/RIU in a nano-hole array of hole radius of 50 nm. It was also found that on increasing the hole radius from 50 to 125 nm, the spectral sensitivity was decreased, whereas the index sensitivity was increased on increasing the refractive index. 相似文献

PurposeTo investigate the profile and determinants of retinal optical intensity in normal subjects using 3D spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT). MethodsA total of 231 eyes from 231 healthy subjects ranging in age from 18 to 80 years were included and underwent a 3D OCT scan. Forty-four eyes were randomly chosen to be scanned by two operators for reproducibility analysis. Distribution of optical intensity of each layer and regions specified by the Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) were investigated by analyzing the OCT raw data with our automatic graph-based algorithm. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed between retinal optical intensity and sex, age, height, weight, spherical equivalent (SE), axial length, image quality, disc area and rim/disc area ratio (R/D area ratio). ResultsFor optical intensity measurements, the intraclass correlation coefficient of each layer ranged from 0.815 to 0.941, indicating good reproducibility. Optical intensity was lowest in the central area of retinal nerve fiber layer, ganglion cell layer, inner plexiform layer, inner nuclear layer, outer plexiform layer and photoreceptor layer, except for the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Optical intensity was positively correlated with image quality in all retinal layers (0.553<β<0.851, p<0.01), and negatively correlated with age in most retinal layers (-0.362<β<-0.179, p<0.01), except for the RPE (β = 0.456, p<0.01), outer nuclear layer and photoreceptor layer (p>0.05). There was no relationship between retinal optical intensity and sex, height, weight, SE, axial length, disc area and R/D area ratio. ConclusionsThere was a specific pattern of distribution of retinal optical intensity in different regions. The optical intensity was affected by image quality and age. Image quality can be used as a reference for normalization. The effect of age needs to be taken into consideration when using OCT for diagnosis. 相似文献

Gold nanohole arrays are fabricated with focused ion beam irradiating gold thin film supported on quartz substrate. The topography
of the nanohole arrays is characterized using an atomic force microscope, and the near-field optical transmission properties
of the nanohole array are investigated with a near-field scanning optical microscope. Our experimental results verify the
near-optical transmission performance and further demonstrate that they are in agreement with the theoretical calculation
results. The enhanced optical transmission of the nanohole arrays are expected to be used for a variety of applications in
sensor and photonics devices. 相似文献

Numerical methods are very important for designing nanodevices since localized surface plasmon resonance is sensitive to the
geometric parameters. Especially, as for nano-biosensor, the proper choice of design tool is very critical in terms of the
accuracy and simulation time. In this paper, we compare the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) with the finite integration
technique (FIT) of the full-wave electromagnetic commercial software (CST Microwave Studio) in worldwide use with popularity.
The refractive index sensitivity of rhombic hybrid Au–Ag nanostructures is calculated and compared in visible wavelength using
DDA and FIT. Comparing the calculated results, the DDA has two advantages over the FIT: easy control of geometric parameter
and less simulation time without compromising the accuracy. The limitations of the DDA will be deliberated as well. 相似文献

The phenomenon of extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) due to its advantages has been considered by researchers in various applications, and in recent years, many efforts have been made to engineer these structures to get the best possible response for desired applications. In this work, the optical properties of novel binary gold nanohole arrays are investigated theoretically. We engineered the optical response of the system by adjusting the ratio of contribution of surface plasmon polariton (SPP) to localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) through the manipulation of the geometrical properties. The changes in the topology of this nanohole array affected the intensity and the wavelength of transmission peaks. The sensitivity of the optical response to the refractive index was also investigated. The designed structure is a good candidate for use as a polarization-independent optical label-free sensor. 相似文献

In contrast to the enhanced peak transmission in a subwavelength metal hole array structure (Ebbesen et al., Nature 391:667–669, 1998), here we theoretically investigate the spectral transmission through an array of identical metal slits with ultrathin interlayers and surprisingly find the depressed optical transmission for both infinite and finite array case. Notably, in the latter system, the narrowband dip transmission is evidently produced with the accompaniment of selective field enhancement and phase jumping across the structure. Analyses suggest that this phenomenon is intrinsically related to the penetrant coupling of intracavity surface plasmon polaritons together with the slit termination effect. 相似文献

Gallium phosphide exhibits a short diffusion length relative to its optical absorption length, and is thus a candidate for use in wire array geometries that allow light absorption to be decoupled from minority carrier collection. Herein is reported the photoanodic performance of heteroepitaxially grown gallium phosphide on planar and microwire‐array Si substrates. The n‐GaP|n‐Si heterojunction results in a favorable conduction band alignment for electron collection in the silicon. A conformal electrochemical contact to the outer GaP layer is produced using the ferrocenium/ferrocene (Fc +/Fc) redox couple in acetonitrile. Photovoltages of ~750 mV under 1 sun illumination are observed and are attributed to the barrier formed at the (Fc +/Fc)|n‐GaP junction. The short‐circuit current densities of the composite microwire‐arrays are similar to those observed using single‐crystal n‐GaP photoelectrodes. Spectral response measurements along with a finite‐difference‐time‐domain optical model indicate that the minority carrier diffusion length in the GaP is ~80 nm. Solid‐state current–voltage measurements show that shunting occurs through thin GaP layers that are present near the base of the microwire‐arrays. The results provide guidance for further studies of 3D multi‐junction photoelectrochemical cells. 相似文献

Optical transmission through double-layer metallic subwavelength holes array is studied under oblique incidence by split-field finite-difference time-domain method. Both TM and TE polarizations are investigated. It is proved that the transmission peaks can also be observed for TE polarization due to the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) through diffraction orders. By changing the incident angle, these transmission peaks follow the SPP wavelength shift. The field profiles, even for the field components not present in the incident field, clearly show the SPP excitation. The mechanism of enhanced transmission will be fully discussed. 相似文献

Scent-marking behavior is associated with different behavioral contexts in callitrichids, including signalizing a territory, location of feeding resources, and social rank. In marmosets and tamarins it is also associated with intersexual communication. Though it appears very important for the daily routine of the individuals, very few researchers have investigated distribution through the 24-h cycle. In a preliminary report, we described a preferential incidence of this behavior 2 h before nocturnal rest in families of common marmosets. We expand the data using 8 family groups (28 subjects), 8 fathers, 6 mothers, 8 nonreproductive adults (4 sons and 4 daughters), and 6 juvenile (3 sons and 3 daughters) offspring that we kept in outdoor cages under natural environmental conditions. We recorded the frequency of anogenital scent marking for each group during the light phase, twice a wk, for 4 consecutive wks, from March 1998 to September 1999. Cosinor test detected 24- and 8-h variations in 89.3% and 85.7% of the subjects, respectively, regardless of sex or reproductive status. The 8-h component is a consequence of the 2 peaks for the behavior, at the beginning and end of the light phase. Daily distribution of scent marking is similar to that others described previously for motor activity in marmosets. The coincident rhythmical patterns for both behaviors seem to be associated with feeding behavior, as described for callitrichids in free-ranging conditions, involving an increase in foraging activities early in the morning and shortly before nocturnal rest. 相似文献

A patent has been granted for the formulation of baculoviruses with stilbene-derived optical brighteners, a group of compounds that absorb ultraviolet (UV) radiation and emit visible blue wavelengths. These compounds are being extensively tested for control of forest-feeding lepidopterous insects in North America; optical brighteners may thus become a common ingredient in commercial baculovirus formulations in the near future. Many flower species use UV signals to attract insects and to direct them to the nectaries. We examined a possible consequence of field applications of optical brighteners: their effects on the ability of pollinators to find and handle flowers. In field studies carried out in Mexico and the United Kingdom on three different flower species, application of dilute (0.1% or 1%) concentrations of the optical brightener Tinopal CBS reduced recruitment of bees to flowers. Bees that approached flowers were less likely to land and feed on flowers treated with Tinopal than on controls. On one plant species, Trifolium repens, the time taken for bees to handle inflorescences was longer following applications of Tinopal. It seems that this optical brightener may both reduce recruitment of insects to flowers and interfere with their ability to locate rewards. Field-scale applications could reduce pollination of crops, weeds, and wildflowers and adversely affect bee populations. These possibilities should be examined in more detail before widespread applications of these compounds to the environment are made. 相似文献

This paper addresses the mechanical behavior of buried steel pipeline crossing subsidence strata. The investigation is based on numerical simulation of the nonlinear response of the pipeline-soil system through finite element method, considering large strain and displacement, inelastic material behavior of buried pipeline and the surrounding soil, as well as contact and friction on the pipeline-soil interface. Effects of key parameters on the mechanical behavior of buried pipeline were investigated, such as strata subsidence, diameter-thickness ratio, buried depth, internal pressure, friction coefficient and soil properties. The results show that the maximum strain appears on the outer transition subsidence section of the pipeline, and its cross section is concave shaped. With the increasing of strata subsidence and diameter-thickness ratio, the out of roundness, longitudinal strain and equivalent plastic strain increase gradually. With the buried depth increasing, the deflection, out of roundness and strain of the pipeline decrease. Internal pressure and friction coefficient have little effect on the deflection of buried pipeline. Out of roundness is reduced and the strain is increased gradually with the increasing of internal pressure. The physical properties of soil have a great influence on the mechanical properties of buried pipeline. The results from the present study can be used for the development of optimization design and preventive maintenance for buried steel pipelines. 相似文献

In this article, a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor based on D-typed optical fiber coated by Al2O3/Ag/Al2O3 film is investigated numerically. Resonance in near infrared with an optimized architecture is achieved. Refractive index sensitivity of 6558 nm/RIU (refractive index unit) and detection limit of 1.5 × 10−6 RIU, corresponding to 0.4357 nm/μM and detection limit of 23 nM in BSA (bovine serum albumin) concentration sensing, are obtained. The analysis of the performance of the sensor in gaseous sensing indicates that this proposed SPR sensor is much suitable for label-free biosensing in aqueous media. 相似文献
