Abstract

Nd, Tm:YAG codoped single crystal waveguides were studied in order to discover if the presence of Nd3+ ions favors blue luminescence at 486 nm. Innovative implantation techniques were applied to locally change Delta n and form varied H+ implanted channel structures in Nd, Tm: YAG buried epitaxial waveguiding layers. The guided blue luminescence due to the Tm3+ (1)G(4)-> H-3(6) transition was studied under infrared excitation at 785 nm (Tm3+ absorption) and 808 nm (Nd3+ absorption) for the epitaxial planar waveguides of different Tm3+ and Nd3+ concentrations for all the implanted channel waveguide structures.

Potential applications of graphene

Potential graphene applications include lightweight, thin, and flexible electric/photonics circuits, solar cells, and various medical, chemical and industrial processes enhanced or enabled by the use of new graphene materials. In 2008, graphene produced by exfoliation was one of the most expensive materials on Earth, with a sample the area of a cross section of a human hair costing more than

1,000 as of April 2008 (about

100,000,000/cm2). Since then, exfoliation procedures have been scaled up, and now companies sell graphene in large quantities.

Graphene

Graphene (ˈgræfiːn) is an allotrope of carbon consisting of a single layer of atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice nanostructure. The name is derived from "graphite" and the suffix -ene, reflecting the fact that the graphite allotrope of carbon contains numerous double bonds. Each atom in a graphene sheet is connected to its three nearest neighbors by σ-bonds and a delocalised π-bond, which contributes to a valence band that extends over the whole sheet.

Biosensor

A biosensor is an analytical device, used for the detection of a chemical substance, that combines a biological component with a physicochemical detector. The sensitive biological element, e.g. tissue, microorganisms, organelles, cell receptors, enzymes, antibodies, nucleic acids, etc., is a biologically derived material or biomimetic component that interacts with, binds with, or recognizes the analyte under study. The biologically sensitive elements can also be created by biological engineering.
