Lee Weller Abstract This thesis presents a comparative study of the measured and calculated ab- solute absorption and dispersion properties of the Rb D lines through a dense thermal vapour in the absence and presence of an applied magnetic field. A detailed theoretical model valid in the weak-probe regime is calculated. The model uses a matrix representation of the atomic Hamiltonian including the magnetic field interaction for Rb in the completely uncoupled basis. Numer- ical diagonalisation allows the frequency detunings and transition strengths to be calculated. The lineshape of each transition is modelled as a Voigt profile, a convolution of the inhomogeneous and homogeneous profiles. The medium’s susceptibility is found by summing over all the electric-dipole- allowed transitions. For dense thermal vapours a modification to the homo- geneous linewidth of each transition, which grows linearly with the number density of atoms, arises due to resonant dipole-dipole interactions between identical atoms in superpositions of the ground and excited terms. In the presence of an applied magnetic field we investigate the Stokes parameters of light propagating through a dense thermal vapour. For fields larger than 0.33 T we enter the hyperfine Paschen-Back regime on the Rb D lines. We present a compact optical isolator based on an atomic vapour, exploiting the spectral region of high transmission and large dispersion where we would normally expect absorption on the Rb D lines. Frequency up-conversion is shown in the fluorescence measurements over the visible and near infra-red regions for strong excitation. Low density transfer arises due to the energy- pooling effect between two identical atoms in their first excited terms. At high densities resonant dipole-dipole interactions give rise to a threshold for the energy transfer. We characterise the threshold behaviour with increasing number density.

External Control of Electron Temperature in Ultra-cold Plasmas Roy O.Wilson Honors Thesis Colby College Department of Physics and Astronomy May 2007 Abstract This thesis discusses progress towards achieving external control of the elec- tron temperature and the Coulomb coupling parameter of ultra-cold plasmas. Using a Littman dye laser, we create the plasma by partially photoionizing a dense, cold sample of rubidium atoms in a magneto-optical trap (MOT). At a controllable time delay, we excite neutral atoms in the plasma to a specific Ry- dberg state using a narrow bandwidth pulsed dye laser. We have made progress towards optimizing and quantifying the achievable Rydberg atom density by us- ing mm-wave spectroscopy to control the evolution of a cold dense Rydberg sam- ple to plasma and have also begun preliminary investigations of plasma electron temperature measurements.

In particular, we have studied the rubidium diatomic molecular gaseous medium's absorption spectrum with high resolution single mode laser spectroscopy. The derived electronic and rotational vi- brational constants were used in the backward Raman ampli¯cation experiment of Rb diatomic molecule. Both experimental results and theoretical calculation con- ¯rms that there is strong backward directionally dependent radiation.

Using Raman spectroscopy on cancer tissues sample, which is one of the most important herbs, quantitative and qualitative analyses are performed. DNA/RNA of cancer cells was detected in the sample and the performance of Raman arrangement for measuring DNA/RNA of cancer cells concentration was evaluated at two parts using calibration graph. In the first part, spectra are containing synchrotron while in the second part, spectra are filtered and synchrotron are removed. Keywords: Quantitative Analysis, Cancer Tissues, Raman Spectroscopy, Calibration Graph, DNA/RNA, Synchrotron 1- INTRODUCTION Raman spectroscopy is a fast, cheap and inoffensive method for analyzing various types of solid, liquid and gas samples. One of the Raman spectroscopy problems about biological samples is presence of synchrotron in spectra. For removing synchrotron, there are various applied methods such as changing the laser wavelength or using Fourier transform arrangement and some theories such as shifted spectra and Fast Fourier Transform Filters [1–23].

  • Okadaic Acid Time-Resolved Absorption and Resonance FT-IR and Raman Biospectroscopy © 2019 Heidari A, Et Al
    InternationalJournal of VIBGYOR Analytical and Bioanalytical Methods Okadaic Acid Time-Resolved Absorption and Resonance FT-IR and Raman Biospectroscopy and Density Functional Theory (DFT) Investigation of Vibronic-Mode Original Article: Open Access Coupling Structure in Vibrational Spectra Analysis Alireza Heidari1,2*, Jennifer Esposito1 and Angela Caissutti1 1Faculty of Chemistry, California South University, USA 2American International Standards Institute, USA Abstract Okadaic acid, C44H68O13, is a toxin produced by several species of dinoflagellates, and is known to accumulate in both marine sponges and shellfish. One of the primary causes of diarrhetic shellfish poisoning, Okadaic acid is a potent inhibitor of specific protein phosphatases and is known to have a variety of negative effects on cells. A polyketide, polyether derivative of a C38 fatty acid, Okadaic acid and other members of its family have shined light upon many biological processes both with respect to dinoflagellate polyketide synthesis as well as the role of protein phosphatases in cell growth. Parameters such as FT -IR and Raman vibrational wavelengths and intensities for single crystal Okadaic Acid are calculated using density functional theory and were compared with empirical results. The investigation about vibrational spectrum of cycle dimers in crystal with carboxyl groups from each molecule of acid was shown that it leads to create Hydrogen bonds for adjacent molecules. The current study aimed to investigate the possibility of simulating the empirical values. Analysis of vibrational spectrum of Okadaic Acid is performed based on theoretical simulation and FT-IR empirical spectrum and Raman empirical spectrum using density functional theory in levels of HF/6-31G*, HF/6-31++G**, MP2/6-31G, MP2/6-31++G**, BLYP/6-31G, BLYP/6-31++G**, B3LYP/6-31G and B3LYP6-31-HEG**.

The near infrared region of the optical spectrum is an area of intensive research due to its relevance to telecommunication and optical metrology. Acetylene provides a large number of reference transitions coincident with the international telecommunication band. Acetylene contains about 50 strong lines between 1510 nm and 1540 nm in the ν1+ν3 ro-vibrational combination band. We have observed the Doppler-free saturated spectrum of several of these lines. The light from a tunable diode laser at ~1531 nm, resonant with the P(11) transition, is amplified by an erbium doped fiber amplifier and split into a strong pump beam and weak probe beam which counter-propagate inside the gas-filled fiber. The measured Doppler linewidth of the P(11) line at room temperature is about 467 MHz wide. The sub-Doppler profile over a pressure range of 200-1600 mT appears as a narrow absorption feature about 20-40 MHz wide, even at the low pump power of ~10 mW.
