Effect of dispersion fluctuations on longitudinal gain evolution in phase-sensitive parametric amplifiers
, Article Optics InfoBase Conference Papers ; 2014 ; ISSN: 21622701 ; ISBN: 9781557529992 ; Vedadi, A ; Shoaie, M. A ; Soto, M. A ; Denisov, A ; Mehrany, K ; Thevenaz, L ; Bres, C. S ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
A Brillouin probing method is proposed to extract the distribution of signal power along phase-sensitive parametric amplifiers. Operation near the zero-dispersion-wavelength shows enhanced sensitivity to dispersion fluctuations, allowing effective extraction of the dispersion map

Abstract
Fabrication of well-defined gold nanowires (GNWs) is of significant importance in many fields such as sensing applications. In this study, the electrodeposition of well-defined GNWs inside polycarbonate (PC) template has been discussed in detail. GNWs were potentiostatically electrodeposited at different filling rates. The growth of GNWs at different stages of pore filling was monitored by electrochemical measurements and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). It was confirmed that under growth rates between 2.5 and 4 nm/s, GNWs with smooth ends grew uniformly inside the template without any imperfections or corrugations. The length of GNWs was electrochemically controlled to...

Abstract
Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was used to improve the hydrogen sensing properties of Pd and Pt-decorated TiO2 nanoparticles by facile production routes. The TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel method and coupled on GO sheets via a photoreduction process. The Pd or Pt nanoparticles were decorated on the TiO2/RGO hybrid structures by chemical reduction. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy demonstrated that GO reduction is done by the TiO2 nanoparticles and Ti-C bonds are formed between the TiO2 and the RGO sheets as well. Gas sensing was studied with different concentrations of hydrogen ranging from 100 to 10,000 ppm at various temperatures. High sensitivity (92%) and fast response time...
