Large-quantity free-standing ZnO nanowires
Debasish Banerjee,J. Y. Lao,Dezhi Wang,Jian Yu Huang,Zhifeng Ren,Diane M. Steeves,Brian R. Kimball,Michael Sennett +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a large-quantity (grams) one-dimensional ZnO nanowires of different sizes have been synthesized by a simple thermal evaporation of zinc oxide powder in a tube furnace at a temperature controlled to 1000-1200 °C and pressure to 1-2 Torr air.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Promise of Diffractive Waveplates
TL;DR: Diffractive waveplates exhibit the high diffraction efficiency of Bragg gratings in micron-thick material layers as discussed by the authors, which is similar to the one we use in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and photoluminescence studies on ZnO nanowires
Debasish Banerjee,Jingyu Lao,D Z Wang,Jian Yu Huang,Diane M. Steeves,Brian R. Kimball,Zhifeng Ren +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the photoluminescence spectra of the ZnO nanowires grown on both graphite flakes and substrates with commercially available powder has been carried out.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical axis gratings in liquid crystals and their use for polarization insensitive optical switching
TL;DR: The ability of optical axis gratings (OAGs) to fully transfer the energy of an unpolarized incident light beam into the ± 1st diffraction orders is explored in this paper for development of a polarization-independent optical system with nonlinear transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fabrication of liquid crystal polymer axial waveplates for UV-IR wavelengths.
TL;DR: It is shown the opportunity of fabricating axially symmetric waveplates fine tuned to a desired wavelength and the feasibility of using this phenomenon for shaping the profile of light beams with a set of waveplates.
