| Abstract: |

Self-frequency-conversion crystals can realize laser operation and frequency-conversion via second harmonic generation, stimulated Raman scattering or birefringence properties simultaneously; so the crystals take an important part in the realization of monolithic and compositive laser system. The laser system is simpler, more compact, and tougher. It is significant for the applications of solid-state laser extended to military and other outdoor areas. Due to the crystals with low symetry possess particular advantages in laser and other optoelectronics performances, the project is proposed to investigate the possible ways for fundamentally improving the operation of the self-frequency-conversion laser by means of designing and selecting suitable crystals from those with low symmetry, and optimizing and controling chemical composition in the crystals. The relation between the crystal structure and the spectra, laser and frequency-conversion properties will be studied. For the research of new self-frequency-conversion laser materials, the construction of some new experimental methods, collection of experimental data, and summarization of experiences will also be performed. As a result, one or two new self-frequency-conversion laser crystal will be found and grown, and the spetra, laser, frequency-conversion, and monolithic laser system will be studied. |

| Abstract: |
|
By means of organic ligand design and oriented preparation of organometallic compounds, our research is focused on systematic studies of the syntheses, characterization, and properties of organometallic optoelectronic materials with on-off effects. Taking advantage of on-off effects from organic ligands to regulate the rate and efficiency of intercomponent electron and energy transfers, the desired luminescence and optoelectronic properties can be achieved. The influence on metal-metal electron transfer and organometallic molecular conductance from on-off effects will be investigated to reveal the correlations between structures and properties. By regulating the degree of energy transfer between organometallic chromophores, dual luminescence
with complementary emitting colors can be achieved so as to afford white light emitting molecular materials with high efficiency. Designed syntheses of organometallic functional materials that exhibit optoelectronic on-off behavior will be carried out to achieve luminescence vapochromism, tribochromism, and mechanochromism etc. Modulation and optimization of the optoelectronic properties can be attained by variations in organo-functional group or substituents as well as modification of the structural sensitive sites in organometallic chromophores. The general patterns will be explored concerning syntheses, structures, spectroscopy, and property modulation in optoelectronic functional materials with on-off effects. It is expected to make a breakthrough in exploration of optoelectronic materials and devices with potential applications. |
