Intensification of the Emission Signals Using the Reflection Mirrors Mounted to the Sample Holder of a Fluorimeter

Effects of the reflection mirrors mounted to the sample holder of a fluorimeter have been investigated. Analytical expressions are given for the emission intensity measured as a function of the concentration or optical density of the sample, in case one or two reflection mirrors are attached beside the sample holder to intensify the emission signals. The emission intensity calculated as a function of the sample concentration agreed well with the experimental data. By mounting two reflection mirrors, the emission signal was intensified by a factor of near 3.5. However, the degree of intensification depended strongly on the sample concentration and the linearity between the sample concentration and the emission intensity deviated significantly with increasing the sample concentration.

非理想正交反射镜消偏性能的模拟研究

通过建立非理想正交反射镜改变光线的几何模型,研究正交金属反射镜的消偏性能。模拟计算结果显示：在0.4μm～10μm波段内,非理想正交镀银反射镜的线偏振灵敏度优于铝、金等正交反射镜,且对光束偏振度的改变最小,因此正交镀银反射镜在高精度偏振遥感探测中值得广泛应用;若把角度误差控制在0.5°内,则正交镀银反射镜的偏振特性对偏振遥感器的辐射度和偏振度影响很小,具有较好的消偏性能。

Utility transforms of optical fields employing deformable mirror

Diffraction optical devices of modest degrees of freedom (DOF), such as deformable mirrors, have not been exploited as general-purpose transformers of optical fields. Described in this Letter is a method that guides deformable mirrors to optimal surfaces allowed by the DOF for various desirable outcomes. The method is based on a modal optimization procedure with the help of Walsh functions in controlling the variables of the mirrors, i.e. the actuators. It is shown that a deformable mirror of modest DOF can provide field transformations for arbitrary beam-splitting, formation of ring-shaped beams, and coherent beam combining.

Aberration analysis of electron mirrors by a differential algebraic method

A differential algebraic (DA) method has been developed for the aberration analysis of electron mirrors. Since large ray slopes occur near the turning points in mirrors, the axial position is no longer suitable as the independent variable and the electron trajectory equation used in conventional lens theory is no longer feasible. A DA solution of the electron motion equation, wherein a single DA ray trace is performed on a non-standard extension of real number space called _nD_v, enables the aberrations of a mirror system to be obtained, in principle up to arbitrary order n, and with very high accuracy, due to the remarkable algebraic properties of _nD_v. With the DA method, the enormous effort to derive explicit formulae for the aberration coefficients of electron mirrors is avoided. A software package MIRROR_DA has been developed for the aberration analysis of electron mirrors, based on the DA method. Two examples of electron mirrors are presented. For the first example, for which the electrostatic and magnetic fields are represented by analytical models, the results computed with MIRROR_DA were shown to be in good agreement with those extracted by direct ray tracing, with relative deviations of less than 0.065% for all the primary aberration coefficients. The second example consists of a real magnetic lens and electrostatic mirror, with numerically computed fields, and from the results of MIRROR_DA, the spherical aberration coefficient C_s3 is almost cancelled out because of the correction effect of the mirror. The MIRROR_DA software is a novel, effective and precise tool for the aberration analysis of electron mirrors, capable of handling realistic and complicated systems of electron lenses and electron mirrors.     

Study of tin amalgam mirrors by 119Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy and other analytical methods

From the beginning of the 16 ^th until the end of the 19 ^th century the most widely used mirrors consisted of a pane of glass backed with a reflecting layer of tin-mercury amalgam. They were made by sliding the glass pane over a tin foil covered with liquid mercury. After removal of the superfluous mercury, tin amalgam formed slowly at ambient temperature and yielded a reflecting layer adhering to the surface of the glass. Such mirrors often deteriorate in the course of time by oxidation of the tin in the amalgam to stannous or stannic oxide. ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, micro-XRF and X-ray diffraction have been used to study this deterioration process. The studied specimens were a modern mirror made for the reconstruction of the Green Vault in Dresden in the early 2000s, two rather well preserved German mirrors from the 17 ^th and 19 ^th centuries and several strongly deteriorated specimens of Baroque mirrors from the south of Spain. The modern mirror consists mainly of a Sn_0.9Hg_0.1 amalgam with only 2 % of SnO₂. The older German mirrors showed more pronounced oxidation, containing 12 and 15 % of SnO₂, which did not noticeably impair their reflectivity. In the samples from the Spanish mirrors at best a few percent of metallic phase was left. The majority of the tin had oxidised to SnO₂, but between 8 and 20 % of the tin was present as SnO. X-ray diffraction yielded similar results and micro-XRF mapping using synchrotron radiation for excitation gave information on the distribution of Sn and Hg in the reflecting layer of the mirrors.

Fabrication of nested elliptical KB mirrors using profile coating for synchrotron radiation X-ray focusing

This paper describes fabrication methods used to demonstrate the advantages of nested or Montel optics for micro/nanofocusing of synchrotron X-ray beams. A standard Kirkpatrick-Baez (KB) mirror system uses two separated elliptical mirrors at glancing angles to the X-ray beam and sequentially arranged at 90° to each other to focus X-rays successively in the vertical and horizontal directions. A nested KB mirror system has the two mirrors positioned perpendicular and side-by-side to each other. Compared to a standard KB mirror system, Montel optics can focus a larger divergence and the mirrors can have a shorter focal length. As a result, nested mirrors can be fabricated with improved demagnification factor and ultimately smaller focal spot, than with a standard KB arrangement. The nested system is also more compact with an increased working distance, and is more stable, with reduced complexity of mirror stages. However, although Montel optics is commercially available for laboratory X-ray sources, due to technical difficulties they have not been used to microfocus synchrotron radiation X-rays, where ultra-precise mirror surfaces are essential. The main challenge in adapting nested optics for synchrotron microfocusing is to fabricate mirrors with a precise elliptical surface profile at the very edge where the two mirrors meet and where X-rays scatter. For example, in our application to achieve a sub-micron focus with high efficiency, a surface figure root-mean-square (rms) error on the order of 1 nm is required in the useable area along the X-ray footprint with a ∼0.1 mm-diameter cross section. In this paper we describe promising ways to fabricate precise nested KB mirrors using our profile coating technique and inexpensive flat Si substrates.     

Design and performance of two-channel EUV multilayer mirrors with enhanced spectral selectivity

In this paper, we present a study on two-channel multilayer mirrors which can operate at two wavelengths in Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) spectral range. We propose a new method to design two-channel EUV multilayer mirrors with enhanced spectral selectivity. The mirror structure is a stack of two periodic multilayers separated by a buffer layer. We have defined the main parameters which allow adjustment of the distance between different order Bragg’s peak and of wavelength positions of reflectivity minima. Two mirrors have been designed and deposited for solar EUV telescope applications by using this method. The first mirror reflects Fe IX–X line (17.1 nm) and Fe XVI (33.5 nm) lines with attenuation of the He II line (30.4 nm). The second mirror reflects Fe IX–X and He II lines with attenuation of Fe XV (28.4 nm) and Fe XVI lines. Measurements with synchrotron radiation source confirm that, in both cases, for these mirrors, we are able to adjust reflectivity maxima (Bragg peak position) and minima. Such multilayers offer new possibilities for compact design of multi-wavelength EUV telescopes and/or for high spectral selectivity.     

Collimation testing of a CO2 laser beam with a shearing interferometer

A shearing interferometer based on a Michelson interferometer is proposed for collimation testing of a CO₂ laser beam.

Detailed analysis for two experimental configurations of this system are presented.

We present the analytical calculation, validated by experiments, of the virtual image of solid cone mirrors used to decipher hidden pictures and/or writings on the plane of the cone’s base. Our results demonstrate that the virtual image of solid cone mirrors lies on a not intuitive 3D surface, thus showing how the commonly used geometric treatment is inadequate to find the correct position of the virtual image. The extension of our analysis to cone mirrors used as panoramic imaging tools for machine vision is discussed.
