    Abstract
    In this study, SiO2-CaO-MgO galsses and glass-ceramic powder doped with Nd3+ were synthesized with sol-gel method. Tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), Ca(NO3)2.4H2O, Mg(NO3)2.6H2O, Nd(NO3)3.6H2O, ethanol, distilled water, and HNO3 were used as starting materials. The synthesized powder’s properties were examined with STA, XRD, DRS, PL, FTIR and SEM analysis. From XRD patterns of glass samples, the role of dopant was introduced as intermediate oxide in glass matrix. The XRD patterns of glass-ceramic samples indicated that the bredigite and akermanite crystals were formed in glass matrix. The band gap energy of samples were calculated from DRS analysis and were seen with increasing the dopant...

    , Article Scientia Iranica ; Volume 14, Issue 3 , 2007 , Pages 236-239 ; 10263098 (ISSN) Amjadi, A ; Rajai, P ; Latifi, H ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    A type II (eoe: extraordinary-ordinary-extraordinary) phase matching condition in a 2nd Harmonic Generation of Nd-YAG laser under a high electric field in a uniaxial KDP crystal has been measured. Type II phase matching takes place when the two mixing waves are of orthogonal polarizations (extraordinary-ordinary) and the 2nd harmonic radiation corresponds to an extraordinary wave. By applying an electric field along the X(Y) axes of the crystal, a new phase-matching angle was measured under the influence of different electric fields. The deflection angle of the SHG beam was measured as a function of the applied voltage. An optical collector will focus the 1st harmonic and a fraction of its...

    Abstract
    In this paper, the stable and reproducible tellurium doped ZnO nanowires (Te-ZnO NWs) photodetector with intensive responsively is presented. The Te-ZnO NWs were fabricated by physical vapor deposition (PVD) growth mechanism. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) images showed that the fabricated nanowires were 50 nm in diameter and several microns in length. The high resolution transmission electron microscopy indicated that the synthesized nanowires were crystalline and their phase characterization was validated by the X-ray diffraction (XRD). The photoluminescence (PL) studies of these nanowires showed a strong photoluminescence (PL) emission peak in the green region. It was...

    Abstract
    In this paper, a novel method for high-repetition-rate high-power radio frequency (RF) pulse generation, which involves only passive solid-state devices and is capable of being used for generating high power microwaves using a low-to-high power converting scheme based on nonlinear self-compression is proposed. The method is also expected to be of low jitter. In the proposed circuit, two high voltage diodes with proper reverse recovery characteristics are used. The simulation results show that the proposed circuit generates RF pulses, with central frequencies up to gigahertz range. By applying a sub-kilowatt power supply, the maximum output power was well over 10 kW. This power can be... 

    DSRD-based high-power repetitive short-pulse generator containing GDT: theory and experiment

    , Article IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science ; Volume 45, Issue 8 , 2017 , Pages 2341-2350 ; 00933813 (ISSN) Samizadeh Nikoo, M ; Hashemi, S. M. A ; Olad Dilmaghanian, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    A high-power short-pulse generator based on the diode step recovery phenomenon and high repetition rate discharges in a two-electrode gas discharge tube is presented. The proposed circuit is simple and low cost and driven by a low-power source. A full analysis of this generator is presented which, considering the nonlinear behavior of the gas tube, predicts the waveform of the output pulse. The proposed method has been shown to work properly by implementation of a kW-range prototype. Experimental measurements of the output pulse characteristics showed a rise time of 3.5 ns, with pulse repetition rate of 2.3 kHz for a 47-Ω load. The input peak power was 2.4 W, which translated to about... 

    In vitro biological outcome of laser application for modification or processing of titanium dental implants

    , Article Lasers in Medical Science ; Volume 32, Issue 5 , 2017 , Pages 1197-1206 ; 02688921 (ISSN) Hindy, A ; Farahmand, F ; Tabatabaei, F. S ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    There are numerous functions for laser in modern implant dentistry including surface treatment, surface coating, and implant manufacturing. As laser application may potentially improve osseointegration of dental implants, we systematically reviewed the literature for in vitro biological responses to laser-modified or processed titanium dental implants. The literature was searched in PubMed, ISI Web, and Scopus, using keywords “titanium dental implants,” “laser,” “biocompatibility,” and their synonyms. After screening the 136 references obtained, 28 articles met the inclusion criteria. We found that Nd:YAG laser was the most commonly used lasers in the treatment or processing of titanium...

    Abstract
    Based on the quantum mechanics principles and classically calculated dressed potential surfaces by using field assisted dissociation model the dissociation probability for CH4 + molecule exposed with a 100 femtosecond 8 Jcm-2 Ti:sapphire laser pulses is calculated. Using the gradient optimization method two tailored rectangular laser pulses for controlling the dissociation of C-H bond of CH4 + molecule along laser pulse direction is found. In the proposed optimization method, the complicacy of solving Schrodinger wave equation is reduced by using classical method and in contrast to the usual controlling and pulse shaping methods of chemical reactions, the experimental data is not needed and...

    Abstract
    The field enhancement in micro resonators causes the Raman amplification enhancement in them. Micro resonators can be connected to form sequence in variety of ways. The various structures such as single channel and double channel side coupled integrated space sequence of resonators (SClSSORs) can be used as Raman amplifier with different performances. In this paper, a silicon micro-ring coupled-resonator optical waveguide (CROW) is considered as a bandpass Raman amplifier. We introduce an iterative matrix method for analysis the CROW Raman amplifier. This method is applied to the single pump and single input for silicon CROW Raman amplifiers, and the effects of physical parameters of the... 

    An inhomogeneous theoretical model for analyzing the temporal response of high concentration erbium-doped fiber laser

    , Article Solid State Lasers and Amplifiers III, Strasbourg, 8 April 2008 through 10 April 2008 ; Volume 6998 , 2008 ; 0277786X (ISSN); 9780819471963 (ISBN) Keyvaninia, S ; Karvar, M ; Bahrampour, A ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    In this paper the gain dynamics of an erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) with an inhomogeneous active medium in the presence of ion pairs is modeled. A two-level model for single ions and a three-level model for ion pairs are employed to write the propagation and rate equations of inhomogeneous laser medium. The governing equations are an uncountable system of partial differential equations (PDEs). By employing the moment method, the system of PDEs is converted to a finite system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The Solution of the system of ODEs is used to analyze the output power of a high concentration EDFL. As it expected, theoretical results show that the threshold pumping power...
