A double-gap planar magnetic lens

An analytical model and equations for describing the field of a planar magnetic lens with two concentric nonmagnetic gaps are developed. It is demonstrated that the “half-width” of the magnetic field of the lens can be controlled by varying independently the currents in the excitation coils of the two gaps. This makes it possible to control the focal length and the spherical aberration of the lens. It is shown that when oppositely directed currents are used in the excitation coils, a planar magnetic lens that does not rotate the image can be obtained. Zh. Tekh.

Flat electron beams

Electrons from a source in a solenoidal magnetic field emerge from that field with a characteristic angular momentum. This behavior can be used to produce a flat ribbon-like electron beam with zero thickness (to first order). We show that this can be done using a quadrupole triplet and provide analytical expressions for the focal length of each lens. Solutions can be found over a wide range of practical values of the parameters.

Detection of NMR signals with a radio-frequency atomic magnetometer

We demonstrate detection of proton NMR signals with a radio-frequency (rf) atomic magnetometer tuned to the NMR frequency of 62 kHz. High-frequency operation of the atomic magnetometer makes it relatively insensitive to ambient magnetic field noise. We obtain magnetic field sensitivity of 7 fT/Hz1/2 using only a thin aluminum shield. We also derive an expression for the fundamental sensitivity limit of a surface inductive pick-up coil as a function of frequency and find that an atomic rf magnetometer is intrinsically more sensitive than a coil of comparable size for frequencies below about 50 MHz.

Coherent repopulation of the components of a three-level quantum system in the field of a pulsed bichromatic radio frequency wave

The coherent repopulation of a quantum system consisting of three nonequidistant levels in the field of a resonant bichromatic rf wave is studied. The atoms are assumed to have an impulsive interaction with the rf wave in which the pulse duration is less than any of the relaxation times. The hyperfine structure of gas atoms and a system of atomic oscillator levels in a magnetic trap are considered as examples of such a quantum system. It is shown that in the second case, the coherent repopulation effect can be used to cool neutral atoms in magnetic traps. Zh. éksp. Teor. Fiz. 113, 1181–1192 (April 1998)     

Focal length measurement of a varifocal liquid lens with capacitance detection

This paper reports on a detailed deformation model of varifocal liquid lenses fabricated by Parylene-on-liquid-deposition (POLD), which can be applied to measure and adjust the focal length of such lenses without using extra sensors or sensing mechanisms. The lens was fabricated by encapsulating a liquid between a transparent electrode and a polymer film that was covered with a metal electrode. When voltage is applied to the two electrodes, the lens deforms due to the electrostatic force, and its focal length and the capacitance between the two electrodes change simultaneously. This characteristic enables the focal length of the lens to be adjusted and detected by measuring the capacitance change. The focal length of the fabricated varifocal liquid lens changed from 153.6 to 82.6 mm by applying 150-V. The focal length change of the liquid lens was calculated from the change in its capacitance. Finally, to confirm the efficiency of this varifocal liquid lens, we fabricated a confocal distance sensor using the lens for laser scanning and demonstrated that this system can be used to measure distances of 94–140 mm with an average error of 0.83 mm and a standard deviation of 0.77 mm.     

Attenuation of morphine-induced analgesia in mice by exposure to magnetic resonance imaging: separate effects of the static, radiofrequency and time-varying magnetic fields

Exposure of adult male mice to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedure has been shown to abolish the nocturnal analgesic responses observed following treatment with morphine. The field component(s) responsible for this inhibitory effect were examined by exposing mice to either the static, time-varying or rf magnetic field components associated with an MRI procedure. In the middle of the night portion of their day-night cycle, mice were exposed for 23.2 min to one of the above field components, intraperitoneally injected with morphine sulphate (10 mg/kg) and then exposed to the field conditions for another 23.2 min, after which analgesic responses were determined. Analgesia was quantitated by determining the length of time mice were content to be on a hot surface (50 degrees C) before they showed discomfort by licking their paws. It was observed that the time-varying magnetic field completely abolished, the rf field significantly reduced, while the static field component (0.15 T) had no evident effect on morphine-induced analgesia. These results indicate that the time-varying, and to a lesser extent the rf, fields associated with the MRI procedure inhibit morphine-induced analgesia in mice. These data also raise the possibility that exposure in humans to some of the magnetic field components associated with MRI may have clinically relevant effects on the actions of narcotic drugs such as morphine.

Development of modulating permanent magnet sextupole lens for focusing of pulsed cold neutrons

Modulating permanent magnet sextupole lens (PMSx) for focusing pulsed cold neutrons is under development. The synchronized modulation of its field gradient suppresses the chromatic aberration which arises from the Time Of Flight method. The strength of the magnetic field, the torque, and the rise of temperature during its operation are studied on a fabricated prototype. Experiments on focusing pulsed very cold neutrons (VCN) at ILL (Institute of Laue Langevin, France) were carried out and VCN with around λ=40 Å were focused by the PMSx at a focal length of about 0.5 m. The experimental results are presented in conjunction with the principle of the neutron focusing and the modulating method of the focal strength of permanent magnet lens with the double ring structure.

Focusing of atomic and molecular beams in electric fields of various configuration

The properties of an axisymmetric electrostatic lens used for focusing atomic or molecular beams were studied. The lens was formed by a dip in an electric field in the axial direction. Two types of interaction between the particles and the electric field were studied: quadratic and linear in field. An analytical approximation of the dependence of the focal distance of the lens on the beam energy and the parameters of the electric field was obtained. Chromatic and spherical aberrations of the lens were determined.

Tight focusing of circularly polarized beam over high NA lens axicon with a diffractive optical element

We propose to use diffractive optical element in combination with high NA lens axicon to achieve a high depth of focus when illuminated by a circularly polarized beam. With this kind of system, the focal depth is increased to 12.816λ and the magnetic spot size is reduced to 0.3764λ. However, in the conventional lens with same NA, the FWHM of the magnetic spot is found to be 0.4308λ and its corresponding magnetization depth is only 0.888λ. The author expects that such a high focal depth strong longitudinal magnetic field with large magnetization depth can be widely used in high density magneto optic recording, laser machining, laser cutting and the scanning near-field magnetic microscope.

Radio-frequency association of molecules: an assisted Feshbach resonance

We develop a theoretical model to describe the radio-frequency (rf) induced coupling of a pair of colliding atoms to a Feshbach molecule when a magnetic field arbitrarily far from the Feshbach resonance is modulated in time. We use the dressed atom picture, and show that the coupling strength in presence of rf is equal to the Feshbach coupling strength multiplied by the square of a Bessel function. The argument of this function is equal to the ratio of the atomic rf Rabi frequency to the rf frequency. We experimentally demonstrate this law by measuring the rate of rf-association of molecules using a Feshbach resonance in d wave collisions between ultra-cold chromium atoms.
