多层介质膜光谱调制反射镜的反应离子束刻蚀误差容限

 在千焦拍瓦高功率放大系统设计中,激光脉冲的时空和光谱整形技术一直受到人们的广泛关注。利用反应离子束刻蚀等微纳超精细加工而成的多层电介质结构反射镜可在高功率条件下实现啁啾脉冲的光谱整形。在光谱整形介质结构反射镜的设计与制造中,需要根据要求的反射率来合理提出反应离子束刻蚀误差容限指标。推导出反应离子束刻蚀误差容限的解析表达式。针对神光Ⅱ千焦拍瓦高功率放大系统设计中提出的多层介质光谱调制反射镜,分析了调制结构反射镜各层加工的容许误差,确定了反应离子束刻蚀误差容限指标。研究表明：刻蚀高折射率介质的加工误差容限为35 nm;刻蚀低折射率介质的加工误差容限为62 nm。此外,还从使用需要和加工难易的角度,对刻蚀方案进行了讨论。就加工难易程度而言,优选反应离子束刻蚀方案,且采用刻蚀并残留低折射率介质的方案更容易实现。

高功率钕玻璃啁啾脉冲放大系统光谱整形

增益窄化效应限制了啁啾脉冲放大系统输出的最短脉冲宽度,需要对注入放大系统的种子啁啾脉冲进行光谱整形,以保证放大后的啁啾脉冲光具有足够的带宽并满足特定的光谱分布.理论上假定放大后啁啾脉冲的光谱分布为高斯分布或超高斯分布,对"百焦耳级钕玻璃啁啾脉冲放大系统"进行逆运算.研究发现,所需种子啁啾光的能量、带宽以及压缩后脉冲的信噪比都与该分布密切相关.通过光谱整形,使放大后的啁啾脉冲光的光谱分布为二阶超高斯分布.能够获得小于400 fs高信噪比的超短脉冲输出,此时所需种子啁啾脉冲能量仅为33μJ,带宽14 nm,在装置前级注入能力的范围之内.为百焦耳装置光谱整形实验的开展提供了理论指导.     

基于铌酸锂双折射晶体的皮秒拍瓦激光系统光谱整形

为补偿皮秒拍瓦激光系统中钕玻璃宽带放大引起的增益窄化,提出了一种基于铌酸锂双折射晶体的高能量光谱整形方法.在相同强度调制下,对比了BBO、铌酸锂和石英3种晶体,针对1053 nm激光,选用了高双折射率、大口径且不易潮解的铌酸锂作为整形晶体.理论分析了晶体厚度、倾斜角、面内旋转角对强度调制的影响,发现它们分别决定调制的带宽、中心波长及深度.并对整形过程中晶体引入的光谱相位进行了分析,发现各阶色散量随晶体厚度、倾斜角、面内旋转角变化的规律,因此可通过上述参数控制各阶色散量.在此基础上,开展了中心波长为1053 nm、带宽为10 nm、调制深度为80%的光谱整形实验和相位测量实验,实验与理论分析相一致.针对神光Ⅱ皮秒拍瓦激光系统,利用上述整形方案,国内首次实现了1700 J, 6 nm (FWHM)的高能宽带激光输出,有效补偿了增益窄化.研究结果对国内基于钕玻璃放大系统的宽频带激光装置的工程研制具有重要意义.     

高功率超短脉冲在增益介质中的传输特性

在考虑了增益介质的群速度色散、克尔非线性效应、增益饱和和增益谱后,推导出了光脉冲在介质中的传输方程.采用分步傅里叶变换法数值模拟了高功率线性啁啾脉冲在增益介质中的传输状态,并着重讨论了增益色散对光脉冲形状和功率谱的影响.计算结果表明:当高功率超高斯光脉冲在增益介质中传输放大时,脉冲形状变得尖锐,峰值向脉冲前沿移动;功率谱峰值向低频方向移动,并且在功率谱边缘形成非对称振荡结构;当介质的增益色散增大时,光脉冲光谱宽度变窄,峰值功率减小,因此对于宽光谱脉冲,增益色散将会导致损耗.     

百皮秒脉冲放大中自相位调制效应实验研究

利用掺镱双包层光纤放大器对百皮秒单脉冲（重复频率1 Hz）进行了放大实验,分析了其放大过程中自相位调制对脉冲时域和频域特性的影响.采用小芯径（纤芯直径6.5 μm）掺镱双包层光纤作为增益介质,研究了放大器中从小信号增益到增益深度饱和整个变化过程中自相位调制引起的频谱展宽效应,并分析了SPM引起的脉冲波形和频谱光强分布的变化.采用布喇格光纤光栅扫描方法观察了其光谱的变化,解决了单脉冲光谱不易测量的问题.结果表明：区别于无源光纤中的自相位调制效应,随着抽运功率的增加,百皮秒脉冲放大过程中增益饱和效应和自相位调制效应的共同作用,使脉冲频谱分裂成不对称双峰结构,且光强分布先向短波后逐渐向长波集中.     

变栅距光栅实现啁啾脉冲光谱整形

为了充分利用放大介质的增益带宽,获得脉宽更短,功率更高的输出脉冲,需要将输入到主放大链的种子脉冲进行光谱整形来补偿放大过程中的增益窄化效应。提出了利用变栅距反射光栅实现中心波长1053nm,谱宽6nm啁啾脉冲的光谱整形。运用严格的光栅衍射耦合波理论分析光栅的衍射特性,发现该方案不会引入相位畸变。分别计算和分析了刻槽深度、入射角大小、光栅周期以及入射光波长的变化对衍射效率的影响,通过选取适当的光栅参量可获得0.5%~84%的光谱调制深度。

Requirements for Optical Systems for Virtual Displays

Currently, there are many types of virtual displays and new types arise every year. However, their vast majority appear technically inapplicable because they are inconsistent with a number of key factors related to the eye physiology. In this paper, we present the general requirements for optical systems of virtual displays, taking into account human eye physiology.     

Figure of merit for spectrometers for EDXRF

How should one select the best detector for a particular measurement in energy dispersive X‐ray fluorescence (EDXRF)? How should one select the optimum system configuration, i.e. the best shaping time and beam current? Manufacturers provide a variety of specifications, such as energy resolution and maximum count rate, but these are indirectly related to the end use of an EDXRF instrument, the measurement and detection limit of the measured elemental concentrations. We suggest in this paper using the time required to achieve a given statistical uncertainty as a figure of merit. We derive scaling rules for this figure of merit based on conventional specifications, including energy resolution, peaking time, maximum count rate, detector area, and intrinsic efficiency. These scaling rules also include the peak to background ratio of a photopeak and the number of overlapping peaks. We then show how this figure of merit can be used to select the optimum detector and spectrometer configuration for specific applications and compare the results to data obtained with typical systems.

为了解决具有大畸变内窥镜标定的标志点提取困难和人工参与较多等问题,提出了一种简单快速准确的棋盘格标志点提取方法。该方法是采用粗提取和优化来完成棋盘格标志点的提取的:首先利用高斯滤波去除图像噪声,并计算两次图像的梯度特征,利用梯度极值约束得到粗提取的角点;然后利用棋盘格标志点的对称特点消除噪声点的影响,并得到优化的角点位置。实验结果表明,该方法简单易行,计算量小,不需要人工干预即可获得全部标志点,反投影误差小于0.2pixel。     

Memory for pitch versus memory for loudness

The decays of pitch traces and loudness traces in short-term auditory memory were compared in forced-choice discrimination experiments. The two stimuli presented on each trial were separated by a variable delay (D); they consisted of pure tones, series of resolved harmonics, or series of unresolved harmonics mixed with lowpass noise. A roving procedure was employed in order to minimize the influence of context coding. During an initial phase of each experiment, frequency and intensity discrimination thresholds [P(C) = 0.80] were measured with an adaptive staircase method while D was fixed at 0.5 s. The corresponding physical differences (in cents or dB) were then constantly presented at four values of D: 0.5, 2, 5, and 10 s. In the case of intensity discrimination, performance (d') markedly decreased when D increased from 0.5 to 2 s, but was not further reduced when D was longer. In the case of frequency discrimination, the decline of performance as a function of D was significantly less abrupt. This divergence suggests that pitch and loudness are processed in separate modules of auditory memory.     

Microscopic basis for Fick's law for self-diffusion

We investigate self-diffusion in a classical fluid composed of two species which are distinguished through the color of their particles, either black or white, but are identical as regards their mechanical properties. Disregarding color the fluid is in thermal equilibrium. We show that if a single test particle in the one-component fluid moves asymptotically as Brownian motion, then the color density and current in certain classes of nonequilibrium states are related, on the appropriate macroscopic scale, through Fick's law, and the former is governed by the diffusion equation. If in addition several test particles move asymptotically as independent Brownian motions, then the colored fluid is, on a macroscopic scale, in local equilibrium with parameters governed by the solution of the diffusion equation.Part of this work was done while both authors were at IHES, Bures-sur-Yvette, France.Supported in part by NSF Grant No. PHY 78-15920-02.Supported by a Heisenberg fellowship of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.     

Convolution identities for quasiprobabilities for Bose functions

We present identities relating the equations of motion of various quasiprobabilities for quantum oscillators. These identities turn out useful for checking the consistency of approximations made in constructing the equations of motion with the basic Bose commutator. Moreover, our identities allow to identify the quasiprobability distributions which have the easiest-to-solve equations of motion.

把二元溶液的过剩内能（ｅｘｃｅｓｓ ｅｎｅｒｇｙ）分成溶剂－溶剂、溶剂－溶质及溶质－溶质相互作用部分。利用集团展开方法给出了二元溶液在正则系综的配分函数的表达式，利用该表达式得到了溶质的偏摩尔内能（ｐａｒｔｉａｌ ｍｏｌａｒ ｅｎｅｒｇｙ）和偏摩尔熵（ｐａｒｔｉａｌ ｍｏｌａｒ ｅｎｔｒｏｐｙ）的表达式。在无限稀溶液情形，过剩偏摩尔内能的溶剂－溶剂部分又称重组织内能（ｒｅｏｒｇａｎｉｚａｔｉｏｎ ｅｎｅｒｇｙ），它反映了溶质存在时对其周围溶剂分子之间的相互作用能的影响。研究表明，在溶质的粒子数密度相对较大时，溶质分子之间的相互作用将影响过过剩偏摩尔内能的溶剂－溶剂部分，对于稀溶液，过氧偏摩尔内能的溶剂－溶剂部分与溶质的摩尔分数成线性关系。对低蜜度二元溶液，溶质的过剩偏摩尔内能和过剩偏摩尔熵也与溶质的摩尔分数成线     

Analytical relations for luminescence intensities accounting for reabsorption

Mathematical relations defining distortions from true values of photoluminescence intensities that arise during measurements due to absorption at the luminescence frequencies are derived for various experimental designs. The adequacy of the derived relations is confirmed by special experiments. The relations allow one to define correctly the contours, widths, and maximum frequencies of luminescence bands of absorbing media and to deduce absorption coefficients of substances from luminescence measurements.
