Arturs Bundulis (ISSP UL Laboratory of Organic Materials) The rapid development of applications of optical technologies in the telecommunications industry requires a broader understanding of nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of materials and their relation to molecular structure. Examples include two-photon absorption and Kerr effect, which must be taken into account when designing devices to control the power of optical signal, store data and modulate optical signal. The Z-scan technique may be used to determine the two-photon absorption coefficient and nonlinear refractive index. The Z-scan technique uses a focused laser beam for sample research. The sample is positioned in the laser beam path and guided through the focus. By analyzing changes in laser beam intensity and shape, it is possible to determine the NLO effect coefficients. Due to its simplicity, it is one of the most popular methods for studying the third and higher order of NLO effects. This presentation will discuss
Participants were introduced to the concept of Scientix, how it works and how teachers can benefit from it and add their value to the community. Participants were also informed about the 3rd Scientix Conference in Brussels, Belgium, from 4 to 6 May 2018.2018. gada 17.maijā dabaszinātņu, matemātikas un tehnoloģiju skolotāju seminārā Latvijas Universitātē. Prezentē - D. Bērtule This event is supported by the European Commission’s H2020 programme – project Scientix 3 (Grant agreement N. 730009), coordinated by European Schoolnet (EUN). The event is the sole responsibility of the organizer and it does not represent the opinion of the European Commission (EC) or EUN, and neither the EC or EUN are responsible for any use that might be made of information contained.
A. Belajevs (Sidrabe Inc.) Sidrabe Inc. is pleased to announce that we have developed a new product – Cluster Tool SAF that is a multifunctional cluster tool for research and development works. Sidrabe Inc. is designing and manufacturing vacuum coating systems and developing unique thin film technologies and has proven itself in the vacuum coater market for over 50 years. Our new modular and highly flexible R&D cluster tool is intended for feasibility studies and general academic work in the field of thin film technologies as well as sample manufacturing aimed at product prototyping for market evaluation of out-of-box technologies. SAF stands for simple, adjustable, flexible – the key words that characterize this tool. The tool is expandable up to 7 different independent process chambers (magnetron sputtering, thermal evaporation, sublimation etc.), thus making it a perfectly suitable tool for each customer’s individual needs.
