Infrared dispersion of dielectric function in Mg‐doped LiNbO 3 crystals with polaronic‐type conductivity

This article reviews the contributions to the special issues of the annual European Conference on Nonlinear Optical Spectroscopy (ECONOS) since its establishment in 2002. The review does not only highlight the developments of the scientific areas related to nonlinear optical spectroscopy in Europe but also shows how different sub‐fields evolved globally because ECONOS evolved as an international meeting attracting participants from all over the world. Four main topical categories are identified: (1) theoretical and instrumental developments, (2) applications to gas‐phase and combustion systems, (3) applications to condensed phase matter, and (4) development and applications of micro‐spectroscopy methods.

“…Raman and X-ray studies of the incorporation of Ca 2C and Cd 2C in the ZrO 2 structure were carried out by Gazzoli et al 136 The findings indicate that these cations can be incorporated into the zirconia structure by low-temperature processing. Kitaeva et al 137 have measured the refractive indices of Mg : LiNbO 3 crystals before and after chemical reduction at different annealing temperatures by spontaneous parametric down-conversion and near-forward Raman scattering due to polaritons. The pH effects on the growth rate of KDP (KH 2 PO 4 crystals determined by investigating Raman-active lattice modes were discussed by Badrouj and Malekfar.…”

Recent advances in linear and nonlinear Raman spectroscopy II

Kiefer

2008

Following the first review on recent advances in linear and nonlinear Raman spectroscopy, the present review summarizes papers mainly published in the Journal of Raman Spectroscopy during 2007. This serves to give a fast overview of recent advances in this research field as well as to provide readers of this journal a quick introduction to the various subfields of Raman spectroscopy. It also reflects the current research interests of the Raman community. Similar reviews of highly active areas of Raman spectroscopy will appear in future issues of this journal.

“…Kitaeva et al 14 have measured refractive indices of chemically reduced polaron-containing LiNbO 3 : Mg crystals in the infrared range. Changes in the real part of the dielectric constant due to the formation of polarons are analyzed.…”

ECONOS in the epoch of CARS renaissance

2007

Back in the early 1980s, when Jean-Pierre Taran, Douglas Greenhalgh, Marcus Aldén, and their fellow CARS enthusiasts and CARS pioneers launched a series of European CARS workshops (ECWs), the key idea behind this initiative was to promote CARS as a novel technique for combustion and flame diagnostics and to explore the potential of this process as a tool for quantitative measurements on automobile and rocket engines. Though it was already a number of years then since CARS had been first identified by Maker and Terhune 1 as an important nonlinear-optical phenomenon, CARS spectroscopy was still in its infancy, especially as far as practical applications and quantitative measurements were concerned. For many years, since the first ECW meeting in Harwell, UK, the ECW served as a forum for the discussion of novel concepts and technical advances in CARS spectroscopy, witnessing many brilliant presentations and discovering new names and talents in nonlinear spectroscopy and laser science.With CARS measurements on combustion and flames 2 becoming routine, new approaches and new developments made their way to the arena of ECWs. Femtosecond CARS and related wave-mixing techniques, emerging as leading-edge methods for time-resolved studies of ultrafast processes in physical, chemical, and biological systems, 3 brought ECWs to new, unexplored territories, inspiring a new generation of CARS researchers for new discoveries on the femtosecond time scale. 4,5 It was then that many of us suddenly realized how much fun CARS is, with multiple delay times introduced between the laser pulses adding
