A multipassed Fabry–Perot interferometer has been used to determine phonon linewidths. The line-shapes may also be obtained using a Bayesian deconvolution technique. Results on amorphous silica and CN− doped KCl are presented as illustrations.

The resonance characteristics of the Fabry-Pérot resonator modes supported by metal/dielectric/metal planar structures are studied in the case of absorbing media for near-to-normal light incidence. Approximations based on rigorous solution and field-transfer model for the field and resonance line shapes in spectra are attributed to the class of Fano and Lorentz resonances. The analytical expressions are obtained for the propagation constant and field enhancement of the mode, width, height and slope of resonance line shapes in spectra as functions of structural parameters. With estimation of field characteristics of the fabricated loss structures based on aluminum and quartz, the peaks in the transmission spectra can be attributed to the excitation of Fabry-Pérot modes. Fundamental characterization of Fabry-Pérot resonances may find applications in optical processing and sensing.

Mullite (3Al2O32SiO2) can be fabricated by transient viscous sintering using composite particles which consist of inner cores of a-alumina and outer coatings of amorphous silica. Powder compacts prepared with these particles are sintered to almost full density at relatively low temperatures (~1300°C) and converted to dense, fine-grained mullite at higher temperatures (>1500°C) by reaction between the alumina core and the silica coating. In order to achieve complete mullitization, optimal conditions for coating alumina particles with amorphous silica must be achieved. Formation of amorphous silica can occur in solution (homogeneous nucleation) or on the surface of alumina (heterogeneous nucleation) depending on the degree of supersaturation of the solvent in which the particles are immersed. Successful coating of silica on alumina occurs when heterogeneous nucleation is promoted and homogeneous nucleation is suppressed. Therefore, one key to successful coating is an understanding of the factors such as pH and concentration that control silica nucleation in aqueous solutions. In the current work, we use TEM to determine the optimal conditions of this processing.
