Laser synthesis of ruby for photo-conversion of solar spectrum

Ruby grains are synthesized by laser heating of the dry mixture of Al$_2$O$_3$ and Cr$_2$O$_3$. Quasi-continuous radiation of a Nd:YAG laser was used for this purpose with average power of 15 W. Synthesized ruby grains demonstrate strong photo-luminescence in the vicinity of 700 nm. Synthesized ruby grains were integrated into a matrix made of flouro-polymer. Luminescene map acquired with the help of a photo-fluorimeter confirms efficient photo-conversion of green-blue radiation of the synthesize ruby into red region. Ruby grans can further be fragmented to smaller particles using the technique of laser fragmentation in liquids.

Laser ablation and fragmentation of Boron in liquids

Nanoparticles of elemental Boron are generated for the first time by laser ablation of a sintered Boron target in liquid isopropanol and subsequent laser fragmentation of the suspension. For this purpose an ytterbium doped fiber laser was used at wavelength of 1060-1070 nm, pulse repetition rate of 20 kHz, and pulse duration of 200 ns. The size of Boron nanoparticles after ablation and fragmentation of the suspension is around 30 nm. Nanoparticles are made mostly of Boron and carbon, some particles have carbon shell. Allotropic composition of nanoparticles differs from that of the initial Boron target. Possible applications are discussed.
