Description

Results

1.

Improvement of the theoretical model

The quantum mechanical description of Zeeman coherences in atoms and molecules will be improved and experimentally tested by improving the description of relaxation processes.

The quantum mechanical description of the Zeeman coherences model was essentially modified and improved by including the real power distribution of the laser beam profile in order to describe the transit relaxation appropriately. This solves the problem of description of the magneto-optical signal at large laser power densities, which could not be achieved previously.

The results are shown in the publication: [R2],

presented in conferences: [K11]

2.

Experimental testing of the model

Magneto-optical signals in alkali metal atom and dimer vapours will be experimentally studied and compared to the theoretical description.

The spatial dependence of nonlinear magnetooptical resonance signals within the cross section of the exciting laser beam profile has been determined. Scanning of the narrower probe laser beam across the wider beam profile of the second laser has been applied in Cs atomic vapour. The obtained signals have been compared with calculations performed in the developed model and a very good agreement has been achieved.

Development of magnetic field sensors

The quantum phenomena in NV centres in synthetic diamond crystals will be studied with a view to developing magnetic field sensors.

1) The magnetic field mapping system based on NV centres in synthetic diamonds was significantly improved using a fast Andor NEO 5.5 camera.

2) A new experiment was started and preliminary results obtained regarding the level-crossing signals of the NV centre ground state in a large magnetic field; theoretical modelling of the signal has been carried out.

3) The positions and transition strengths of hyperfine transitions in caesium atoms at large magnetic fields (up to 100 mT) were studied, with a view to applications to sensors in strong magnetic fields.

5) Spectral lines and structures related to magnetic interactions were studied in Nb I, Ho I and Ho II, which can be used as sensors to determine stellar parameters (elemental composition, nucleosynthesis type, age) in situ.

The results are presented in conferences: [K70,K71]

Development of a method for magnetic field imaging

Sensors for the imaging of the spatial distribution of magnetic fields will be developed with potential applications for quality control of nanoparticles.

Based on anticross resonances studies, magnetic field resolution of ~ 10 nT Hz-1/2 reached without using microwaves.

Studies have been carried out on how to administer nanodimants containing nitrogen vacancies (NV) efficiently and smoothly to the AAO pore. AAO pore promotes surface polaritons, which reduce the lifetime of the excited state of NV centers, increase its fluorescence, thereby increasing the sensitivity of the magnetic field.

Properties of oxygen molecules in SiO2 –type materials

Oxygen molecules are created in amorpohous SiO2 materials during synthesis or due to optical or ionizing irradiation. Their studies are essential for improvement of optical properties of these materials. On the other hand, lower electronically excited states of O2 have specific properties which are perspective in sensor applications or singlet-oxygen sources in biology applications.

Instrumentation system for high sensitivity measurements in photon-counting mode of near-infrared luminescence up to 1.35μ was upgraded and used for investigation of the properties of molecular oxygen in SiO2-based materials. The spectroscopic properties of SiO2 glass synthesized in oxygen plasma was studied and it was found that in parallel to interstitial O2, interstitial Cl2 molecules can be detected by near-infrared luminescence

6.

Ultraviolet optical losses in SiO2 materials

SiO2 is among the most important photonics materials for ultraviolet part of the spectrum. Despite the significant progress in this field, in a number of cases, particularly for optical fiber waveguides, the origins of the optical losses are not sufficiently clear. It is planned to study the origins of the optical losses in the 300 to 160 nm region and to find their creation processes by using spectroscopic methods.

UV absorption spectra of SiO2 glasses and optical fiber waveguides produced from this glass were studied. The main factors, which limit the optical transmissivity of these glasses and waveguides are silicon dangling bonds in 210 nm region, peroxide radicals in 230 nm region and oxygen dangling bonds in the 260 nm region. However the Raman scattering data indicate that in a number of synthetic SiO2 glasses part of the 260 nm absorption can originate from photoinduced reaction between oxygen and chlorine impurities.

7.

Chlorine impurities in SiO2- type materials

High-purity synthetic SiO2 materials are routinely produced from SiCl4 , additionally, Cl2 treatment is used for removing of silanol groups in synthesis of "dry" glasses. As a result, all so called "high purity" SiO2 glasses contain undesired Cl impurities. To enable theri quantification and detection, the forms of Cl embedding in SiO2 will be studied

Elaborated a high sensitivity method to detect molecular chlorine in SiO2 by its vibronically structured infrared luminescence at 1.27eV and lifetime 5.2ms at 13K. Proved high-stability of Cl2 in SiO2 against UV photolysis due to cage effect. By using Raman spectroscopy, discovered photochemical reaction of interstitial Cl2 with mobile atomic oxygen and formation of ClClO molecules

The results are shown in the publication: [R12]

presented in conferences: [K46, K47, K48]

8.

Optical properties of fluorine-doped SiO2 materials

Fluorine-doping is widely used to depress the refraction coefficient in optical fiber waveguides and to enhance the UV transparency of glassy SiO2. These properties are caused by fluorine in the form of Si-F groups/ However, part of the F can be embedded in different structural form, which can be detrimental to optical properties. These alternative configurations and their spectroscopic properties will be studied.

Silica glasses doped by fluorine in maximum concentrations, attainable by plasma outside deposition (up to 16 wt% F) were studied. In the vacuum ultraviolet region these glasses exhibited a significant shift of the fundamental absorption edge towards higher energies as compared to pure SiO2. However, the blue-shift does not increase significantly when F concentrations exceed 1 wt %. On electron irradiation of F-doped glass the dominant induced luminescence centres were NBOHC's.

9.

Properties of crystalline SiO2 polymorphs

The properties of amorphous SiO2,used in photonics, may understood by studying properties of the related crystalline forms of SiO2, including the high-pressure polymorphs, which have been so far insufficiently studied.

Investigation of the spectral characteristics of self-trapped excitons in coesite and quartz crystals has been done. The luminescence of self-trapped excitons is identified and correlated to self-trapped exciton luminescence in α-quartz. A mechanism of exciton self-trapping in coesite is proposed, comprising breakage of Si-O bond and forming of an additional bonding between the non-bridging oxygen and the neighbouring bridging oxygen.

Properties of autolocalized exciton in cristobalite were studied in comparison with properties of excitons in other crystalline SiO2 polymorphs. Self-trapped exciton luminescence was identified with peak around 600nm.

The results are shown in the publications: [R4, R18, R25], presented in conferences: [K1, K49]

10.

Infrared transmission measurements of optical fiber waveguides.

For a number of industrial and medical applications, optical fibers with a good stability in 2000nm region (Ho laser region) are required. For quantification of optical losses and identifications of their causes exact attenuation measurements in this region are needed

Experimental setups for studying infrared spectral properties of commercial optical fiber waveguides in the range up to 2.4 μ (absorption) and 1 μ (IR luminescence) were assembled using InGaAs photodiodes and Si CCDs as detectors. Labview-based software and stepper-motor drivers were developed.

11.

Vacuum UV transmission measurements of optical fiber waveguides.

For applications in analytic instrumentation optical fibers with good transmission in deep-UV and vacuum-UV regions are required. To perform such measurements, a modification of the standard vacuum-UV spectrometer is necessary.

Experimental setup, based on vacuum-monochromator, single tandem monochromators and CCD spectrometer was assembled. Test measurements of attenuation of fiber optic cables were performed.

12.

Manufacturing of light sources

High-frequency rlrctrode-less discharge lamps are widely used in analytical instrumentation for atom spectroscopy. Their lifespan is limited by the interaction active elements/ions with the material of the lamp envelope

Samples of high-frequency electrode-less spectral lamps, containing (Cd+Zn) and (Cd+Zn+SbJ) vapour and argon gas fillings were produced (5 samples each) and. Relative intensities of the emitted spectral lines were investigated. On the basis of these studies, a student bachelor paper was prepared

The results are presented in conferences: [K2,K3].

13.

Measurements of the intensities of emission lines of O atoms and measurements of the discharge temperatures

During the operation of electrode-less gas discharge lamps, oxygen from the lamp walls is emitted into the lamp active medium. It reacts with metal ions and the product deposits on walls, reducing the lamp intensity. Hence it is important to control the oxygen ion presence in the discharge and to determine the temperature of the medium as it controls the oxygen ejection.

Measurements of gas temperature and spectral line intensities of atomic oxygen in high-frequency electrode-less light sources showed that oxygen is emitted from the inner walls of SiO2 glass bulb. In the vicinity of inner surface it combines with hydrogen from the filling of lamp forming OH radical. Measurements support the hypothesis that oxygen is emitted from the surface due to plasma - surface interaction.

The results are presented in conferences: [K50]

Synthesis and fluorescence studies of artificial diamonds

Artificial diamonds are used in sensor technologies. Laboratory scale synthesis methods will be elaborated and their fluorescence will be investigated.

Equipment was constructed for synthesis of diamond crystal coating on tungsten rod. Diamond samples were separated from the W substrate and separated from the amorphous carbon by using oxidizing agents. Transparent diamond particles were separated and analysed by optical microscopy.

The results are presented in conferences: [K66]

15.

Testing of electrode-less spectral light sources in heavy-metal absorption measurements

Detecting heavy metal contamination is of increasing importance. In view of the strategy of European commission on reduction of Hg contamination, the control of it is of high priority. Similarly control of contamination by elements As, Se, Tl,Bi, Pb, Zn, Cd, Sn etc, is important

Electrodeless high-frequency plasma discharge lamps serving as sources of atomic spectral lines for heavy-metal analysis were further developed and optimized. Their advantages as compared to the hollow-catrhode lamps were shown and the interaction of discharge plasma on lamp walls (oxygen desorption) was studied.

Investigation of NLO properties of chromophores and organic materials synthesized within a frame of project.

Investigations will be carried out with aim to develop low molecular weight amorphous phase forming materials for high speed (>100GHz) EO modulators. On basis of gained knowledge of molecular structure impact on NLO light-matter interaction develop recommendations for futher design strategy.

New synthetic methods has been developed and new compounds NLO active compounds have been synthesized and their properties investigated.

A high amorphous phase stability, greatly enhanced by the presence of E/Z isomers or a racemic mixture of a novel 1,3-bis-(dicyanomethylidene)indane-5-carboxylic acid, was observed for these materials. NLO activity was successfully measured in poled amorphous films and the highest nonlinearity (d33(0) value of 6.2 pm/V) was measured for the compound where encapsulation of a D–p–A molecule with dipole shielding triphenylmethyl groups at both the donor and acceptor ends was employed. The controllable stereochemistry in the 1,3-bis-(dicyano-methylidene) indane-5-carboxylic acid based compounds may be potentially applied to acquire fine-tuned materials in NLO and other fields of photonic applications.

Synthesis of new original organic chromophores and luminophores for photonic applications, development and investigation of thin solid films of organic glasses abnd polymers.

It is planned synthesis of: a) series of the alkyl derivatives of 2-cinnamoyl-1,3-indandione and the determination its spectroscopic, thermogravimetric, cyclic voltamperometry and film forming characteristics;

b) new electro-luminophores based on pyranilidene fragments containing molecular glasses or amorphous organometallic compounds;

c) molecular glasses for hole transport purposes will be investigated: to optimize carbazole N-mono alkylation with dibromobutane and formylation;

d) alkyl-linked carbazole containing ligands as intermediate products for different organometallic complexes;

e) new carbazole and cyano-acetic acid fragments containing pyranilidenes and develop a new synthetic method for triphenyl-alkyl groups containing carbazoles as molecular glasses for photonic applications.

Seven new 2-cinnamoyl-1,3-indandione (2CID) O-methyl ethers with different substituents (R = H, CH3, OCH3, N(C6H5)2, N(CH2CH2CN)2, julolidyl, N(CH3)2) in 4-position of the cinnamoyl moiety were synthesized. The methylation with dimethylsulfate occurred at the oxygen atom of the exocyclic enol group with high selectivity. The synthesized compounds were characterized by 1H, 13C NMR, IR, UVeVis and luminescence spectroscopy, their electrochemical properties were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The obtained results indicates that introducing an electron donating substituents in the 4-position of cinnamoyl moiety facilitates electrochemical oxidation, remarkably shifts absorption and emission bands to longer wavelengths, simultaneously increases extinction coefficient (ε). O-methyl ethers with strong electron donating groups (N(C6H5)2, N(CH2CH2CN)2, julolidyl, N(CH3)2) in molecule are characterized by luminescence with maximum in range from 547 to 647 nm and absolute photoluminescence quantum yields from 0.02 to 0.32. Quantum yield (QY) of chromophore containing julolidyl fragment is solvent dependent. It was 0.32 in chloroform and decreased in other polar (ethanol, acetone) solvents.

Four new Europium(III) organic complexes containing 2-acetyldimedone (AD), 2-benzoyldimedone (BD) and 1,10-Phenantroline (Phen) where synthesized with the structures: Eu(AD)3(H2O)2, Eu(BD)3(H2O)2, Eu(AD)3Phen, Eu(BD)3Phen. Optical properties of all synthesized complexes were investigated in THF solutions by UV/Vis and photoluminescence spectroscopy. All complexes characterize decomposition temperatures (T5%) over 230 °C and intense UV absorption in the range from 210 to 340 nm. Photoluminescence spectra showed narrow, red light emission bands with multiple maximums in the 579-705 nm region, which can be attributed to the electron transition located on coordinated Eu(III) ion, indicating that in synthesized complexes an energy transfer from singlet excited state of ligands to central metal ion occurs. All complexes were also characterized with large Stokes shifts over 347 nm, but their photoluminescence quantum yields in THF solutions were low (<1%).

Development of graphene, reduced graphene oxide and funcionalized graphene films based on graphene oxide as intermediate product.

Studies of the synthetic method influence on structure and properties of graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) will be investigated.

It is planned to investigate the possibility to covalently attach pyranilidene fragment containing organic electro-luminophores to GO or rGO. Additionally, the interactions between carboxyl groups containing diazonium salts and GO and rGO under sonification will be examined and possible post-functionalization with alcohols and amines will be realized.

Development of methods for obtaining nanostructured thin films of graphene materials

Synthesized graphite oxide

(GO) in combination with carbon nanotubes (CNT) is used for the preparation of polyurethane (PU) composites. We fabricated composites with CNT/GO content of 0.05, 0.1, 0.3wt.%with the use of ultrasonic treatment and tested their thermo-mechanical properties.

Thermo-mechanical analysis (TMA) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) measurements for CNT/GO composites were compared with the unfilled PU. Thermo-mechanical characteristics of storage moduli and loss moduli for CNT/GO nanocomposite were improved in comparison to the unfilled PU. The introduction of CNT/GO to the PU matrix creates strong bonding with the matrix and leads to the decrease of the glass transition temperature, new solid-solid phase transitions of polymer in the glass state. Dilatometric curves testified the remarkable changes in theglass transition of the polymer after the introduction of CNT/GO hybrid filler. Thermal expansion coefficient was calculated from the curve slopes and expressed continuously increasing expansion rate for CNT/GO composite. The measured characteristics were directly dependent from the filler content in the composite and the operated temperature.

Determination of energy levels of organic molecules

Quantum chemical calculation of organic compounds will be done to obtain energy levels of molecules. Calculated values and experimentally measured will be compared.

Investigations of ionization energy and morphology dependence on the thickness of two indandione group containing compounds was carried out. Two organic compounds with the same chromophore were studied: 2-(4-[N,N-dimethylamino]-benzylidene)-indene-1,3-dione (DMABI) and its derivative 2-(4-(bis(2-(trityloxy)ethyl)amino)benzylidene)-2H-indene-1,3-dione (DMABI-6Ph). DMABI-6Ph consists of two bulky groups which assist amorphous state formation in thin films. Two methods of the sample preparation were used depending on the organic compound properties: thermal evaporation for DMABI and spin-coating for DMABI-6Ph samples. In both cases was observed island like structure at small (below 50 nm) film thickness. Energy levels were determinate by photoemission yield spectroscopy and photoconductivity measurements. Influence of bottom electrode on compound energy level was observed.

Electrical properties of thin films

Dependence of charge carrier local trap states and mobility on organic thin film structure will be investigated

Current-voltage characteristics and charge carriers mobility of DMABI-dPh, DMABI-6Ph and DMABI-Si-6Ph was studied. Sandwich type samples with the structure ITO/organic compound/Au was prepared. Ohm law is fulfilled at low voltage values. At higher voltage current increase rapidly which is attributed to local trapping states.

Charge carrier mobility was measured for DMABI-6Ph and DMABI-Si-6Ph. It was not possible to measure carrier mobility for DMABI-dPh due to polycrystallinity of obtained films. Hole mobility of DMABI-6Ph and DMABI-Si-6Ph is between 10-7 and 10-8 cm2/Vs. There is no or small impact of glass forming groups (6Ph and Si-6Ph) on charge carrier mobility.

Light convertor for visible spectral range (380-780 nm)

To build multilayer thin film photosensor on FTO covered glass substrate using dense TiO2 hole blocking layer; photoreceiver – organometalic lead halide perovskite and different “hole” polaron organic transport layers. To develop and optimaze technology of deposition of all necessary layers in order to obtain the highest possible short-circuit photocurrent external quantum efficiencies (EQE). Perform measurements of main photoelectric properties of cells, publishing results in scientific papers and conferences.

In the present work the fill factor (FF) dependencies from exiting light quantum energy has been investigated for the organometal perovskite CH3NH3PbI3-xClx solar cell for the first time as we have no knowledge that such experiments anywhere have been done ever before for such cell.

It was found that for cells with very high shunt resistance (Rshunt¬>109 Ω ) the FF increases from 0,58 at 760 nm up to 0,87 at 400 nm.

This phenomena at least partly can be explained by hot Wannier-Mott exciton participation in charge carrier photogeneration process in our cell – the higher is the exciting light quantum energy, the lower geminate recombination probability fot the exciton and following higher FF value we observe.

This hypothesis is supported by the experimental fact that for cells with lower Rshunt values we observe much weaker FF increase increasing exciting light quantum energy as it is seen in fig 1 (curve 2) for cell with Rshunt=105Ω). This cell also exhibited very large current-voltage curve hysteresis – showing larger trap concentration where recombination on traps exceeded geminate recombination.

Very sensitive photosensor for red and infrared spectral regions

To build planar heterojunction cells using lead phthalocyanine as electron donor and fullerene C60 as electron acceptor. By modification of charge blocking layers, achieve photoresponse values large than 10 A/W for weak light 1011-1013 phot/(cm2∙s) at spectral region around 880 nm and also shorter wavelengths up to 600 nm at 1V applied voltage to the cell. Perform measurement for photocurrent quantum efficiency spectral dependences in 380-1245 nm spectral range. Try to get physical explanation for this new phenomena of very high photoresponse for weak light.

Within this reporting period, we have performed invetigations with the aim to create photo sensor with high photosensitivity. Photo snsor is based on planar heterojunction between lead phthalocyanine with strong intermolecular charge transfer optical absorption band at 800 nm region (see fig. 2a) in triclinic modification and fullerene C60 as electron acceptor. MoO3 is used as hole transporting and electron and exciton blocking layer, but TCNQ as electron transporting and hole blocking layer. As top electrode, silver (Ag) has been used. Using such cell structure design a photo sensor with excellent photosensitivity has been worked out. This photo sensor when applied voltage is only 1V gives more than 200 electrons in external circuit per one incident photon at 700-900 nm region. Measured photocurrent response is more than 100 A/W at light intensity 1013 phot*cm-2*s-1

Development of low cost perovskite light converters using simplified technologies without using high temperatures (T<150C) was carried out during the reporting period. Multilayer planar heterojunction cell ITO/PEDOT:PSS/CH3NH3PbI3-xClx/PCBM/C60/BCP/Al was created. Short circuit current external quantum efficiency (EQE) higher than 80% for light intensities 1013 phot*cm-2*s-1) was achieved. Observed decrease of EQE (~50%) at higher (1015 phot*cm-2*s-1) light intensities could be explained by presence of traps at grain and layer boundaries increasing recombination losses at higher illumination levels

Photoinduced formation of surface relief in organic azobenzene containing compounds.

The dependence of surface relief formation efficiency in azobenzene-containing low-molecular-weight organic glasses on recording laser wavelength, intensity and photoinduced birefringence

The application of these materials as a photoresist for surface relief holographic recording has potential for application in production of diffractive optical elements. The studies of photoinduced mass transport in several original organic azocontaining compounds were carried out.

Transmission holographic gratings with the period of 2.0 μm have been recorded and read out by 532nm and 632.8 nm light. Self-diffraction efficiency (SDE) time dependences were recorded and the maximum SDE values have been determined as well as corresponding specific recording energies. The following non-azochromophore films were studied: DWK-2, KS-21, KS-24, KS-35, KS-39, KS-41, Ktb_2, EM-14, EM-15, EM-35, EM-36, EM-37,EM-38. Dendronized chromophore films LL50/50, LL75 and LL82 were studied as well. The best results were achieved in non-azochromophore films EM-14 (1.45% un 275 J/cm2% at 532 mm un 0.0085% at 632.8 nm) and EM-15 (1.64% and 566 J/cm2% at 532 nm and 0.51% at 632.8 nm). LL50/50 was the best among LL-type films (0.010% and 5.17 J/cm2% at 532 nm and 0.0030% and 11300 J/cm2% at 632.8 nm). The distinct peculiarity of all samples was a very fast (<1s), almost jump-like initial SDE increase, especially in the 532 nm case.

The mechanism and theory of photoinduced formation of surface relief structuries

Theoretical explanation of photoinduced formation processes of surface relief structures.

On the base of results obtained in the studies of photoinduced mass transport in inorganic amorphous chalcogenide (task nr.13) and organic azobenzene containing compounds (task nr.14), the conclusion that the key role in this process plays the photoinduced anisotropy. It was shown that the material photoinduced displacement rate and its direction regarding to illumination interference pattern depends on photoinduced anisotropy in material refractive index – sign (+ or -) and its value

The experimental setup is constructed allowing for the application of electric field with the intensity up to 17.3 kV/cm during the holographic grating recording and relaxation. Practically significant possibility to steer the holographic information recording by external electric field is based on electro-optic effects. If the frequency of light irradiation is close to the resonance frequency of a material, these effects can become observable. In both cases transmission holographic gratings with 2.0 μm period have been recorded by 632.8 nm He-Ne laser light. Recording beam polarizations were s-s, p-p, L-L and L-R . 17 kV/cm dc electric field was applied perpendicularly to the grating fringes at the distance of 0.2 mm from the film (ZWK-2TB, WE-3, ZWK-3, IWK-2D) surface. Recording time dependence of self-diffraction efficiency (SDE) was measured in each case. Electric field was also switched off and on during the exposure. No effect of electric field was found within experimental margin of 2% even with 17.3 kV/cm field.

The results are presented in conference: [K75]

Computer program for searching very red star (color indices [J-K]> 1.3 mag) in the 2 micron all sky survey 2MASS is created. The observation list of stars with color indices [J-K]> 1.3 mag. is obtained in sky area 50 deg. < δ < 90 deg. spectrum Reduction and classification of 192 late stars of objective prism are done. 11 newly carbon stars are dicovered in the Baldone observatory.

NEO and asteroids observations with the Baldone Schmidt telescope was carried out in 33 areas on the following dates- 05.08.2015 (7 asteroids are observed), 05.09.2015 (16) and 05.10.2015 (10). Orbital elements of 11 asteroids are calculated and specified. The orbital elements of 11 asteroids are compared with the Small Planet Center (MPC) database.

The results are shown in the publication: [R32],
presented in conferences [K81, K82, K83]

Complementary SLR (optical range) and radar-VLBI (radio range, VLBI – Very Long Baseline Interferometry) observations

1. Radar VLBI and Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) observations of transmitting geodetic satellites, (GPS and GLONASS), for training data needed in project activity 40

2. Triggered observations using VLBI, SLR and optical telescopes. The principle is rapid response for the nearby space changes (established e.g. by Schmidt telescope observations).

3. Near Earth asteroid observations using Schmidt telescope.

Part of project is related to reconstruction of Rt-16 and RT-32 radio telescopes. A newly installed NEO tracking software is tested by simulations and first RT-32 field tests. The upgraded telescope pointing system - engines, transmission, power electronics are studied and tested. A new in-home designed 1.6 GHz receiver for strong signal tests is installed on the RT-32, first satellite and observations are performed. Significant updates of time-keeping system, long-term stabilization of hydrogen maser clock by GPS signals is carried on.

The SLR system telescope main mirror was changed in October, 2015 (see Fig. 2). The coating of the previous mirror was oxidised and reflectance was only about 60% instead of nominal 88% at wavelength 532nm. The alignment of the telescope receiver channel was done as well. The efficiency of the receiver channel was evaluated using 532nm laser diode and laser power meter and also by stars in photon counting mode using PMT as a detector. Obtained results shows that receiver channel efficiency was increased from about 8% to 15%, approximately two times. The obtained results were confirmed by actual results from satellite laser ranging

Development of matemathical methods for orbital determination of NEO, space debris and clouds of space debris.

1. Development of the radar VLBI cross-correlation methods, planar reference methods of measurement using several VLBI stations.

2. SLR and VLBI observation data processing with the aim to reconstruct/refine orbital elements of observed objects.

Within the frame of project a feasibility studies of Gabor frame and wavelet application to the radar VLBI data processing are carried out. In the stream of observed data critical regions, ones which can benefit from more sophisticated data processing techniques is identified. Work on application of different short-time Fourier transforms is carried on, statistics obtained. Algorithmic and software implementation of wavelet methods as well as related tests are ongoing efforts. Processing of already existing, unprocessed radar VLBI data is on scope of project - about 30 recorded data streams acquired during period 2005-2014 are processed.
