Applied Optics
|June 26, 2010
Abstract:
A MgO/Ti bilaterally diffused optical waveguide is proposed. It features controlling the waveguide spot size and strengthening the optical confinement. It is experimentally shown that the coupling loss with single-mode fiber is reduced to 0.6 dB/facet. The bending loss is also suppressed from 2.2 dB of the Ti diffused waveguide to 0.2 dB at a 30-mm bending radius. The performance of the switch using this method is demonstrated. Total insertion loss is 2.6 dB. Driving voltage is 5.6 V with no degradation of the EO effect.

Isomerism in Complexes
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...

Color in Coordination Complexes
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
