Three types of Ti O‐compound‐based nanobelts (Na2Ti3O7, H2Ti3O7, TiO2) are prepared
from commercial TiO2 powders via an alkaline hydrothermal process. Nanostructured …

A single ZnO microwire detector for the monitoring of natural gas species is described.
Single-crystal ZnO microwires were synthesized using a carbothermal reduction vapor …

In this work, thin ZnO films were produced by pulsed laser deposition on a side-polished
single-mode fiber in view of optical gas sensor applications. The experimental conditions …

We report on the efficient room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) quenching of ZnO in
the presence of 2, 4-dinitrotoluene (DNT) vapor and for concentration as low as 180 ppb …

Highly textured pure and Al doped ZnO thin films have been produced by pulsed laser
deposition for optical gas sensor application. The influence of the processing parameters …

In this paper, molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) was used to prepare O-polar ZnO films on the
sapphire substrate. Co ions and Sm ions were respectively injected into the O-polar ZnO …

Thin zinc oxide (ZnO) films have been produced by pulsed laser deposition on periodically
structured substrates. The films were grown at substrate temperature of 300° C and 5Pa …

The study of high-intensity laser radiation interacting with solid materials started at the
beginning of laser era, ie more than 50 years ago. This interaction was initially described as …

Refractometric sensor elements were studied consisting of a side-polished single-mode
optical fibre covered by a pulsed laser deposited ZnO thin film. A measurement scheme was …

An optical sensor based on multimode interference couplers structures has been studied.
We have introduced the optical parameters of materials used in existing optical integrated …
