Propagation of a signal beam in an Al Ga As/Ga As waveguide multiple-prism light deflector is theoretically investigated by solving the scalar Helmholtz equation to obtain the dependences of the temporal and spatial resolvable characteristics of the ultrafast deflector on the material dispersion of Ga As including group velocity dispersion and angular dispersion,interface reflection,and interface scattering of multiple-prism deflector.Furthermore,we experimentally confirm that,in this ultrafast beam deflection device,the deflecting angle of the signal light beam is linear with the pump fluence and the temporal resolution of the ultrafast deflection is 10 ps.Our results show that the improvement of the temporal and spatial resolvable performances is possible by properly choosing the structural parameters and enhancing the quality of the device.
In this paper,polyethyleneimine(PEI)and reduced graphene oxide(RGO)were selected as sensing materials for carbon dioxide detection.Two kinds of sensors with different sensitive film structures,i.e.,RGO–PEI composite film and RGO–PEI bi-layer film were fabricated by airbrushing the sensitive films on interdigitated electrodes.Response performances of both sensors at room temperature were investigated.Results showed that sensors with bi-layer film exhibited smaller baseline drift and more stable sensing characteristics than the counterparts with composite film.Furthermore,bi-layer film sensors with different quantity of PEI solution deposited were studied.Performances of long-time stability,repeatability,low concentration of detection for carbon dioxide,and measurements of response time and recovery time were investigated.It was found that appropriate weight ratio of RGO and PEI was critical for sensing response.In addition,the sensor with bi-layer film exhibited a better repeatability but had longer response time and recovery time than RGO single-layer sensor,and both of them could detect as low as20 parts per million carbon dioxide gas.Sensing responses of the prepared sensors to carbon dioxide under dry air or nitrogen were compared.The relevant sensing mechanisms were studied as well.
