Surface plasmon resonance biosensors: present and future
Homola, Jiří
2010 - English
Optical biosensors based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) have become important tool for real-time study of biomolecular interactions and for detection of various analytes in fields such as food safety, medical diagnostics, or environmental monitoring. This paper reviews the present state of the art in the development of SPR sensor technology, discusses emerging trends, and presents selected results of research into SPR sensors at the Institute of Photonics and Electronics, Prague.

Vláknové lasery
Peterka, Pavel
2010 - Czech
Vláknové lasery patří mezi nejpůsobivější úspěchy fotoniky posledních let. Poskytují hrubou sílu využitelnou pro řezání a sváření v průmyslu, ale lze je nalézt i v delikátních zařízeních vyvíjených pro dosud nejpřesnější měření frekvence a času. V příspěvku jsou uvedeny základní principy činnosti vláknových zesilovačů a laserů, některé jejich aplikace a vybrané výsledky výzkumu v tomto oboru v Ústavu fotoniky a elektroniky AV ČR, v.v.i. Fiber lasers are one of the most spectacular achievements of contemporary optoelectronics and photonics. Variety of fiber lasers were demonstrated ranging from mighty continuous-wave systems with multi-kilowatt output powers to elegant femtosecond-pulse sources for precise frequency and time measurements. In the contribution, we present basic principles and applications of these new sources of laser radiation and we present selected research results in this field in the Institute of Photonics and Electronics.

ZnO NANOPARTICLES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS – NEW ACHIEVMENTS
Nohavica, Dušan; Gladkov, Petar
2010 - English
The advantages of ZnO are a low price, good gas sensing properties, photocatalytic activity, antibacterial activity, possibility to prepare structures with interesting optical properties, like photonic crystals, catalytic materials etc. In our laboratory the special research type of MOCVD apparatus has been developed. In the study we have investigated the influence of the growth rate on the morphology of ZnO deposited on Si (100), GaP (111) as well as nanoporous GaP. The same apparatus has been used for ZnO nanoparticles preparation with the diameter of individual nanoparticles of about 25 nm.

METALIC NANOPARTICLES AND NANOSTRUCTURES
Nohavica, Dušan
2010 - English
A brief overview of the field of metallic nanoparticles and nanocrystalline materials preparation and their properties is presented. Dependence of the chemical potential on surface curvature is important for particles solubility in the melt, vapour pressure of liquids as a function of droplet radius, Ostwald ripening and sintering of the individual particles. Melting point and lattice constant depends on the radius of nanoparticles as well. The major processing for nanocrystalline materials production includes chemical reaction, vapour condensation, electrodeposition, ball grinding, SPD etc.

Electric field generated by higher vibration modes of microtubule
Cifra, Michal; Havelka, D.; Kučera, Ondřej; Pokorný, Jiří
2010 - English
Certain structures in a living cell may generate electric oscillations. Microtubules, which form a part of a cellular skeleton, belong to this class of structures and ful-fill all conditions for generation of electric oscillations in kHz÷GHz band. We present selected results from calculations of the oscillatory electric field generated by higher vibration modes of microtubules. We propose that the electric field of certain modes may play specific function in cellular organization

STUDY OF ELECTROPHORETIC DEPOSITION OF Pd METAL NANOPARTICLES ON InP AND GaN CRYSTAL SEMICONDUCTORS FOR H2 GAS SENSORS
Žďánský, Karel; Yatskiv, Roman; Grym, Jan; Černohorský, O.; Zavadil, Jiří; Kostka, František
2010 - English
Deposition of Pd nanoparticles (NPs) on InP or GaN single crystal wafer was performed from isooctane colloid solution. Diodes were prepared by making Schottky contact with colloidal graphite on Pd NPs partly coated surface and ohmic contact on the blank side of the wafer. It was found that several ppb of hydrogen in nitrogen gas can be detected by monitoring the change of diode current at a constant bias voltage. Diodes made on GaN were about ten times more sensitive to hydrogen than those made on InP.

EPITAXIAL OVERGROWTH OF InP and GaAs MICROPORES, MICROCAVITIES AND MICROLAMELLAS BY InAs AND InGaAs
Nohavica, Dušan; Grym, Jan; Hulicius, Eduard; Pangrác, Jiří; Gladkov, Petar; Jarchovský, Zdeněk
2010 - English
Structural and optical properties of micro and nano-porous InP and GaAs substrates used for an epitaxial overgrowth of thin films were investigated. Both crystalographically oriented (CO) and current line oriented (CLO) pore networks were created by electrochemical dissolution. Heat treatment of InP pores at 650oC and GaAs pores at 750-850oC converted them into microcavities The capability of improved structural quality homo- and hetero-epitaxially overgrown films on the porous InP, was also demonstrated by LPE growth of InP and InAs and GaInAs on GaAs by MOVPE technology.
