A new quantitative optical biosensor for protein characterisation (2003)
Journal Article
Cross, G., Reeves, A., Brand, S., Popplewell, J., Peel, L., Swann, M., & Freeman, N. (2003). A new quantitative optical biosensor for protein characterisation. Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 19(4), 383-390. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0956-5663%2803%2900203-3

A new optical biosensor is described based on a dual waveguide interferometric technique. By addressing the waveguide structure with alternate polarisations the optogeometrical properties (density and thickness) of adsorbed protein layers at the sens...

Local field and aggregation dependence of the micro- and macroscopic optical non-linearity of zwitterionic molecules (2003)
Journal Article
Cross, G., Hackman, N., Thomas, P., Szablewski, M., Pålsson, L., & Bloor, D. (2003). Local field and aggregation dependence of the micro- and macroscopic optical non-linearity of zwitterionic molecules. Optical Materials, 21(1-3), 29-37. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0925-3467%2802%2900108-8

When a dipolar-conjugated molecule can lower its energy through gaining aromaticity, there can be a quite dramatic evolution of its polarisation properties dependent on the local reaction field generated in its environment. We have studied conjugated... Read More about Local field and aggregation dependence of the micro- and macroscopic optical non-linearity of zwitterionic molecules.

Orientation and solvatochromism of dyes in liquid crystals (2003)
Journal Article
Palsson, L., Szablewski, M., Roberts, A., Masutani, A., Love, G., Cross, G., …Yasuda, A. (2003). Orientation and solvatochromism of dyes in liquid crystals. Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals, 402(1), 43-53. https://doi.org/10.1080/744816685

The orientation and solvatochromism of some dye molecules in a liquid crystal have been investigated. Interactions with the host and the structure of the dye molecule affect the macroscopic alignment of dichroic dye molecules in a liquid crystal: It...

Diode laser wavelength tracking using an integrated dual slab waveguide interferometer (2002)
Journal Article
Cross, G., & Strachan, E. (2002). Diode laser wavelength tracking using an integrated dual slab waveguide interferometer. IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, 14(7), 950-952. https://doi.org/10.1109/lpt.2002.1012395

The problem of tracking small changes in the output wavelength of laser diodes is addressed using a dual slab waveguide interferometer fabricated from silicon oxynitride. Waveguide mode dispersion differences between the waveguide modes provide a mec... Read More about Diode laser wavelength tracking using an integrated dual slab waveguide interferometer.

Photophysics of a fluorene co-polymer in solution and films. (2002)
Journal Article

The photophysical properties of a new light-emitting co-polymer of fluorene and di-alkoxyphenylene are reported. A range of optical spectroscopies were applied to both solutions and solid films, and comparing the results gives information about the e...

A charge-density study of the nonlinear-optical (NLO) precursor {4-[bis(diethylamino)-methylium] phenyl}dicyanomethanide (DED-TCNQ), space group P21/c, a=11.174(2)Å; b=12.859(2)Å; c=12.486(2)Å; β=112.00(1)°, is presented. The results derive from a su... Read More about Charge-density study of the nonlinear optical precursor DED-TCNQ at 20 K.

Matrix dependence of light emission from TCNQ adducts (2001)
Journal Article
Bloor, D., Kagawa, Y., Szablewski, M., Ravi, M., Clark, S., Cross, G., …Rumbles, G. (2001). Matrix dependence of light emission from TCNQ adducts. Journal of materials chemistry, 11(12), 3053-3062. https://doi.org/10.1039/b104992p

The reactions of primary and secondary amines with 7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane(TCNQ) lead to mono- and di-substituted adducts. Fluorescence emission has been observed for several of these compounds. The luminescence property of the TCNQ adduc... Read More about Matrix dependence of light emission from TCNQ adducts.
