Ultrasensitive and high-dynamic-range two-photon absorption in a GaAs photomultiplier tube
Optics Letters
|November 23, 2007
Abstract:
We demonstrate improved efficiency and dynamic range for two-photon absorption at 1.5 microm in a photoelectron-counting GaAs photomultiplier tube. cw laser measurements show pure two-photon absorption occurring in the device from average powers of 1.3 microW to nearly 1 mW. We use the detector to implement an autocorrelator with peak-power x average-power sensitivity of 1.7 x 10(-4) (mW)(2) and discuss practical ways to reduce this figure of merit to as low as 1 x 10(-5) (mW)(2).

Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation
Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is the common plasma source used in atomic emission spectroscopy (AES), a technique that detects and analyzes various elements in a sample. This method is often called inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES).
There are three main types of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) instruments: sequential, simultaneous multichannel, and Fourier transform instruments, with the latter being less commonly used.

UV–Vis Spectrometers
The absorbance of UV and visible (UV–visible) radiations is measured using a UV–visible spectrophotometer. Deuterium lamps, which emit UV radiation, and tungsten lamps, which produce radiation in the visible region, are used as light sources in UV–visible spectrophotometers. A monochromator or prism is used for diffraction grating, i.e., to split the incoming radiation into different wavelengths. A system of slits is used to focus the desired wavelength on the sample cell. Samples for...
