We investigate both analytically and numerically the propagation dynamic of on-axis and off-axis cosine-Gaussian (CG) beams in a linear medium with quadratic external potential. CG beam propagation evolves periodically with a period depended on the potential depth (α) and whether the beam shape is symmetrical with respect to optical axis. In each period, the CG beam first splits into two sub-beams with different accelerated direction; they then reverse the accelerated direction owing to the quadratic external potential and finally merge again to reproduce its initial shape, and the whole process repeats periodically. The intensity oscillation period of the off-axis CG beam is double times than that of the on-axis one. INF195 nmr At the special position, the beam (or spectral) shape is strongly related to the initial spectral (beam) shape. The corresponding scaled relationship is that the spatial intensity Ix (or spatial frequency axis k) is α times the spectral intensity Ik (or space axis x). The interaction of two spatially separated CG beams still exhibit periodic evolution with complex structure in the regime of focal point. The propagation dynamics of two-dimensional CG beams are also presented. When the propagation distance is exactly an integer multiple of half period, there are four focal points in the diagonal position.A trace gas detection technique of quartz-enhanced photoacoustic-photothermal spectroscopy (QEPA-PTS) is demonstrated. Different from quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS) or quartz-enhanced photothermal spectroscopy (QEPTS), which detected only one single kind of signal, QEPA-PTS was realized by adding the photoacoustic and photothermal signals generated from two quartz tuning forks (QTFs), respectively. Water vapor (H2O) with a volume concentration of 1.01% was selected as the analyte gas to investigate the QEPA-PTS sensor performance. Compared to QEPAS and QEPTS, an enhanced signal level was achieved for this QEPA-PTS system. Further improvement of such a technique was proposed.We propose a switchable perfect absorber with broadband and narrowband absorption based on alternating dielectric and metal nano-film structures in this paper. The lithography-free pattern is equipped with polarization insensitivity, good ductility and manufacturability, which has great significance in practical device development and applications. The quasi-complete selective absorption of incident light can be originated from asymmetric Fabry-Perot resonance, which combines the destructive interference in dielectric layers with inherent absorption in metal layers. When the light incidents on the surface covered with ultra-thin metal film of this structure, it acts as a narrowband absorber with over 99.90% absorption at 771 nm wavelength and a full wave at half maximum of 20 nm. When the light incidents on other surfaces covered with anti-reflective dielectric film, it achieves broadband perfect absorption with an average absorption exceeding 96.02% in a 500-1450 nm wavelength range. The absorption spectrum of oblique incidence shows that the broadband absorption behaves big angle range tolerance while the narrowband absorption exhibits angular dependence. The band-switchable performance of this absorber makes it valuable for energy harvesting/re-radiation applications in solar thermal photovoltaic systems.The resonance frequency shift and the radiative decay rate of single quantum dot excitions in close proximity to a dielectric-hyperbolic material interface are theoretically investigated. The previous nonlocal susceptibility model for a quantum-confined exciton in inhomogeneous surroundings has been substantially upgraded in a way to incorporate exciton's envelope functions with a non-zero orbital angular momentum and a dyadic Green function tensor for uniaxially anisotropic multilayer structures. Different eigenstates of spatially localized excitons are considered with a distance to the interface of half-infinite Tetradymites(Bi2Se3), a natural hyperbolic material in a visible-to-near infrared wavelength range. From numerically obtained self-energy corrections (SEC) of the exciton as a function of its spatial confinement, eigenfunction, and distance, where the real and imaginary parts correspond to the resonance frequency shift and the radiative decay rate of the exciton, respectively, both optical properties show a significant dependence on the spatial confinement of the exciton than expected. The SEC of very weakly confined (quasi free) two-dimensional excitons is almost immune to specific choice of the eigenfunction and to anisotropic properties of the hyperbolic material even at a close distance, while such conditions are decisive for the SEC of strongly confined excitons.Nanolasers are considered ideal candidates for communications and data processing at the chip-level thanks to their extremely reduced footprint, low thermal load and potentially outstanding modulation bandwidth, which in some cases has been numerically estimated to exceed hundreds of GHz. The few experimental implementations reported to date, however, have so-far fallen very short of such predictions, whether because of technical difficulties or of overoptimistic numerical results. We propose a methodology to study the physical characteristics which determine the system's robustness and apply it to a general model, using numerical simulations of large-signal modulation. Changing the DC pump values and modulation frequencies, we further investigate the influence of intrinsic noise, considering, in addition, the role of cavity losses. Our results confirm that significant modulation bandwidths can be achieved, at the expense of large pump values, while the often targeted low bias operation is strongly noise- and bandwidth-limited. This fundamental investigation suggests that technological efforts should be oriented towards enabling large pump rates in nanolasers, whose performance promises to surpass microdevices in the same range of photon flux and input energy.One of the most important and challenging loss factors of photovoltaics is the heat production of energetic carriers excited by high energy incident photons. The present work shows that if carriers are extracted at their high energies before cooling down due to scattering, the conversion efficiency can be noticeably enhanced. To increase the efficiency of a single-band gap solar cell in this work, selective energy contacts are introduced to a p-i-n structure to extract hot carriers. A selective energy contact solar cell is made up of many collecting contacts with particular energy differences from the conduction band of the cell. In other words, each contact could extract carriers with a special range of energies. The concept of selective energy contact solar cells is to collect high energy carriers, i.e. electrons in this case, within a range of energies onto external electrodes before they cool down. The comparison between conventional solar cells and selective energy contact solar cells shows a significant enhancement in electron collection and efficiency.
