Bioactive compound functionalized plasmonic systems are evolving as a promising branch of nanotechnology. In this communication the synthesis of bioactive compound mimosine-based silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and their non-linear optical and thermo-optic properties are presented. UV-Visible spectroscopy, optical bandgap measurement, fluorescence spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) techniques were used to characterize the synthesized AgNPs. An open aperture z-scan technique was used to determine the non-linear optical parameters. A very strong reverse saturable absorption (RSA) and low optical limiting threshold were observed for the present mimosine decorated AgNP system. The thermo-optic property of the present system was evaluated using a highly sensitive dual beam mode matched thermal lensing spectroscopic technique. A comparison of the low limiting threshold (242MWcm−2) and thermo-optic property (thermal diffusivity, D=1.13×10−7m2s−1) with similar systems proves its capability for non-linear optical and thermo-optic applications.

This paper describes a differential dual-beam thermal lensing setup which involves two continuous lasers and two cells placed one just behind the other on the beampath. A tunable excitation laser creates the thermal lensing effect in the two cells, whereas the (He-Ne) laser, colinear to the excitation beam, probes the variation of the index of refraction due to the absorption in each cell. The differential response is achieved by placing the solvent in the first cell and the solvent with analyte in the second cell. The positions of the two cuvettes are optimized in order to maximize differential thermal lensing effect detection. This differential instrument allows compensation of 95–98% of the thermal lensing solvent effect. Thermal lensing spectra of two lanthanide ions (Nd3+, Pr3+), both in no complexing solution (HClO4) and in carbonate medium, are discussed. Analytical determinations of these elements with detection limits in the range of 10−6 mole per liter are observed.

This paper presents the design fabrication and measurement of a nanogap radio frequency microelectromechanical system (RF MEMS) metal-contact switch. The prosed device generates a relatively high contact force with a low actuation voltage using a dielectric layer between the actuation electrode and the moveable beam. The actuation voltage is decreased with good reliability of the device by scaling down the gap. Beam geometry optimization allowed reaching 126 micronewtons contact force with only 10 V bias voltage. The fabricated miniature switch (80 × 50 × 0.95 µm) has indeed a pull-down voltage of 6 V and a contact resistance <2 Ω with 10 V bias applied. By measuring the S-parameters, the up-state capacitance has been fitted to 22 fF. The remarkable figure-of-merit Ron × Cup = 44 fs reflects the good performance of the device. A cycling test showed the device operated for 90 min without any charging problem noted.
