Cover panel with colour-neutral coating

A cover panel for a fitout article or article of equipment for a kitchen or laboratory is provided. The cover panel includes a glass or glass ceramic substrate and a coating on one side of the substrate. The substrate and the coating together have a light transmittance of 1% to 70%. The coating has a colour locus in the CIELAB colour space within the range of coordinates L* of 20 to 65, a* of −6 to 6 and b* of −6 to 6. The colour locus of the D65 standard illuminant light, after passing through the substrate and the coating, is within a white region W1 determined in the chromaticity diagram CIExyY-2° by the following coordinates: TABLE-US-00001 White region W1 x Y 0.27 0.21 0.22 0.25 0.32 0.37 0.45 0.45 0.47 0.34 0.36 0.29.

High-flux ultra-sensitive detection dot array enhancement chip

The disclosure discloses a high-flux and ultra-sensitive detection dot array enhancement chip, and belongs to the field of food safety detection. In the disclosure, single-layer Au nano-particles are chemically bonded onto a hydrophilic substrate, an Au nano-material is naturally deposited in holes of the chip under an electrostatic adsorption action, and a regular dot array is formed. Au particles distributed in the holes are separated with a particle surfactant (CTAB) to form plasma gaps so as to enhance the self-assemble of Au nano-particles distributed on hot-spots for a long range effect, thereby improving the sensing signal in detection efficiency and sensitivity of the chip.

NANOPLASMONIC INSTRUMENTATION, MATERIALS, METHODS AND SYSTEM INTEGRATION

A method for making a plasmonic mushroom array includes: forming a plurality of metal nano-islands each having nanometer-range dimensions on a surface of a glass substrate; and subjecting to the glass substrate having the plurality of metal nano-islands formed thereon to reactive ion etching such that the plurality of metal nano-islands are converted to a plurality of mushroom-shaped structures each having a metal cap supported by a pillar made of a material of the glass substrate and each having dimensions smaller than the dimensions of the nano-islands, the plurality of mushroom-shaped structures being arranged in a substantially regular pattern with intervals smaller than average intervals between the nano-islands, thereby forming the plurality of nano-scale mushroom-shaped structures on the glass substrate that can exhibit localized surface plasmon resonance.

Method of manufacturing a waveguide

A method of manufacturing an optical device is disclosed. The method includes scanning along a curved path at a first surface of a glass plate with a laser beam directed orthogonally to the first surface to form a trench according to a pattern of a waveguide. The curved path is coincident with a longitudinal axis of the waveguide. The method further includes filling the trench with a material having an index different from that of glass to form the waveguide and, after filling the trench, depositing a cladding layer.

Process and plant for obtaining colored glazing

A process for depositing a coating on a glass substrate includes co-sputtered simultaneously by a plasma, in one and the same chamber of the vacuum deposition device, a first constituent made of a material consisting of an oxide, a nitride or an oxynitride of a first element and a second constituent consisting of the metallic form of a second element. The process also includes introducing a hydride, a halide or an organic compound of a third element, different than the first element, into the plasma, to recover the substrate covered with the coating comprising the first, second and third elements at the outlet of the device. The coating consists of metal nanoparticles of the second element dispersed in an inorganic matrix of the first and third elements. The coating displays a plasmon absorption peak in the visible region.
