Fecal contaminations on poultry carcasses, not easily discemable by human eyes, are potential harbor sites of pathogenic Escherichia Coli (E. coli O157:H7). Development of sensitive detection methods for fecal contamination is essential to ensure safe production of poultry products. Fluorescence has been shown to be very sensitive in detecting fecal and other biological substances that can harbor pathogens. In this study, fluorescence excitation-emission spectra of poultry fecal matter were compared with spectra for poultry skin and meat. Results indicated that the combinations of fluorescence intensities at the wavelength of 520 nm, 579 nm, 625 nm, and 635 nm with 411 nm excitation showed above 97% accuracy for differentiation of the contaminants from poultry tissues. Excitation and emission bands determined could be used for constructing a real-time fluorescence imaging device for detection of harmful residues on poultry carcasses.

We report the characterization of white light emitting devices fabricated using conjugated polymer blends. Blue emissive poly[9,9-bis(4'-n-octyloxyphenyl) fluorene-2,7-diyl-co-10-(2'-ethylhexyl)phenothiazine-3,7-diyl] [poly(BOPF-co-PTZ)] and red emissive poly(2-(2'-ethylhexyloxy)-5-methoxy-1,4-phenylenevinylene) (MEH-PPV) were employed in the blends. The inefficient energy transfer between these blue and red light emitting polymers (previously deduced from the PL spectra of the blend films) enables the production of white light emission through control of the blend ratio. The PL and EL emission spectra of the blend systems were found to vary with the blend ratio. The EL devices were fabricated in the ITO/PEDOT/blend/LiF/Al configuration and white light emission was obtained for one of the tested blend ratios.

I will present a new approach to constrain galaxy physical parameters from the combined interpretation of stellar and nebular emission in wide ranges of observations. This approach relies on a comprehensive library of synthetic spectra, assembled using state-of-the-art models of star formation and chemical enrichment histories, stellar population synthesis, nebular emission and attenuation by dust. We focus on the constraints set by 5-band photometry and low- and medium-resolution spectroscopy at optical rest wavelengths on a few physical parameters characterizing the stars and interstellar medium. Since these parameters cannot be known a priori for any galaxy sample, we assess the accuracy to which they can be retrieved by simulating 'pseudo-observations' using models with known parameters. We find that the combined analysis of stellar and nebular emission in low-resolution (50A FWHM) galaxy spectra provides valuable constraints on all physical parameters. The approach can be extended to the analysis of any type of observation and during this talk i will present some applications to observed galaxies up to redshift 1.5.

The far-ultraviolet (FUV) C IV and H2 emission spectra of Orion-Eridanus Superbubble (OES) is hereby presented. The OES seems to consist of multiple phase through the detection of highly-ionized gas and pervasive neutral hydrogen. The former is traced by hot gas while the latter is traced by cold medium. A spectral image made with H2 fluorescent emission shows that the spatial distribution of hydrogen molecule is well correlated with the dust map. The model spectra was taken from a photodissociation region (PDR) radiation code which finds a best suitable parameter such as hydrogen density and intensity of the radiation field. C IV emission is caused by intermediate temperature ISM about 10^5 K. Therefore we could get more clear evidence to reveal the morphology of OES. In this process, the hydrogen density and gas temperature were also estimated. The data were obtained with the Far-Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (FIMS) and the whole data handling were followed by previous FIMS analysis.

Hydrogenated amorphous carbon(a-C:H) films are prepared by rf plasma CVD in a $CH_4$ source gas system diluted with Ar of $H_2$. The spectra of emissive and reactive species in the plasma are detected using in stiu optical emission spectroscopy. Inaddition, the relationship between the film properties which can be varied by the deposition parameters and the Raman spectra is studied. In the $CH_4/H_2$ gas system, the emission intensities of CH and $H \tau$ decrease and those of $H \alpha$, $H \beta$, $C_2$ and Ar increase with increasing $H_2$ concentration, The formation of $C_2$ and CH in the $CH_4/Ar/H_2$ gas system is greatly suppressed by hydrogen addition and the excess of hydrogen addition is found to form graphite structure. The $C_2$ formation in the gas phase enhances a-C:H film formation.

The luminescence behaviors of Yttrium niobate and Bi doped Yttrium niobate were investigated under UV and low voltage electron excitations and interpreted with the first-principle calculations. In the UV excitation and emission spectra of $YNbO_4$ and $YNbO_4:Bi$, we were able to separate host contribution and Bi contribution and found that the shift in emission peak to longer wavelength is mainly due to Bi contribution. Using density functional theory, the cluster calculations were carried out for both $YNbO_4$ and $YNbO_4:Bi$. From the calculated density of states, we were also able to explain the charge transfer gap in the host and the effect of Bi in the excitation and emission spectra theoretically.

The photoluminescence of calixarene crystals has been studied as functions of temperature, time, and concentration. The vibronic bands shift to longer wavelength and become significantly sharper as temperature decreases. The experimental results r eveal that the structural transformation occur during the annealing process. Time-resolved spectra of calixarene at 12 K are monitored. Spectral features, which demonstrate characteristic of energy transfer processes, are not observed. The depopulation of excited state density is mainly controlled by unimolecular decay process dominating other decay processes. The lifetime was found to be 2.6 $\pm$ 0.1 ns. For the case of calixarene mixed with naphthalene, the fluorescence spectrum shows that the band centered at 340 nm lies 2840 $cm^{-1}$ below the relatively broad 310 nm band found for calixarene crystals. The spectra also exhibit that the emission intensity increases with increasing calixarene concentration. The results are evident that the calixarene emission is quenched by the naphthalene. Phosphorescence of calixarene mixed with naphthalene crystals is observed to determine whether the emission is due to naphthalene. The phosphorescence peaks were compared with the ground-state vibrational frequencies of naphthalene and found to be in good agreement. The results indicate that inter-molecular energy transfer occurs between calixarene and naphthalene.

Thulium (Tm) has been incorporated into $YAlO_3$ and $YTa_7O_{19}$ host materials to obtain blue phosphors. $Tm^{3+}$-doped $YAlO_3$ and $YTa_7O_{19}$ phosphors were prepared by the conventional solid state reaction method. According to the results of excitation and emission spectra measured at room temperature, the blue emission intensity of $Tm^{3+}$-doped $YTa_7O_{19}$, peaking at 455 nm was much higher than that of $Tm^{3+}-doped\; YAlO_34, peaking at 458 nm. The maximum of relative intensity of $Tm^{3+}-doped\; YAlO_3\; and\; YTa_7O_{19}$ was obtained at the doping concentration of 0.016 and 0.120 mol% $Tm^{3+}$, respectively. These emission spectra revealed the concentration quenching effect.

We present a novel bandwidth measurement scheme for multimode optical fibers. Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) radiation was utilized for a source of intrinsically modulated light with a wide modulation bandwidth. In our measurement scheme, the continuous-wave (CW) ASE light that passed through a multimode fiber (MMF) under test was analyzed by the fourth-order power with a high-speed photodetector and an electric spectrum analyzer. The modulation transfer function of the multimode fiber could be directly measured with the photoelectric spectra in the modulation frequency domain. The measurement result of our method was experimentally compared to that of the conventional measurement scheme based on the impulse response measurement. It has been found that our scheme provides a stable measurement means of MMF characterization that is suitable for the field testing due to the simplicity of the system.
