Optical coherent detection Brillouin distributed optical fiber sensor based on orthogonal polarization diversity reception

In Brillouin distributed optical fiber sensor, using optical coherent detection to detect Brillouin scattering optical signal is a good method, but there exists the polarization correlated detection problem. A novel detecting scheme is presented and demonstrated experimentally, which adopts orthogonal polarization diversity reception to resolve the polarization correlated detection problem. A laser is used as pump and reference light sources, a microwave electric-optical modulator (EOM) is adopted to produce frequency shift reference light, a polarization controller is used to control the polarization of the reference light which is changed into two orthogonal polarization for two adjacent acquisition periods. The Brillouin scattering light is coherently detected with the reference light, and the Brillouin scattering optical signal is taken out based on Brillouin frequency shift. After electronic processing, better Brillouin distributed sensing signal is obtained. A 25-km Brillouin distributed optical fiber sensor is achieved.

Time-reversed ultrasonically encoded optical focusing into scattering media

Light focusing plays a central role in biomedical imaging, manipulation, and therapy. In scattering media, direct light focusing becomes infeasible beyond one transport mean free path. All previous methods1-3 to overcome this diffusion limit lack a practical internal "guide star."4 Here we proposed and experimentally validated a novel concept, called Time-Reversed Ultrasonically Encoded (TRUE) optical focusing, to deliver light into any dynamically defined location inside a scattering medium. First, diffused coherent light is encoded by a focused ultrasonic wave to provide a virtual internal "guide star"; then, only the encoded light is time-reversed and transmitted back to the ultrasonic focus. The TRUE optical focus-defined by the ultrasonic wave-is unaffected by multiple scattering of light. Such focusing is especially desirable in biological tissue where ultrasonic scattering is ~1000 times weaker than optical scattering. Various fields including biomedical and colloidal optics can benefit from TRUE optical focusing.

Light scattering in nanocrystalline silicon-carbide (nc-SiC) films

Correlations between the optical and structural characteristics of nanocrystalline silicon-carbide (nc-SiC) films prepared by direct ion deposition onto sapphire substrates are studied. The effect of the scattering of electromagnetic radiation in nc-SiC films on their optical characteristics (transmittance, reflectance, and absorbance) is investigated. It is shown that in nc-SiC films deposited at temperatures <700°C scattering is minimum due to their morphological and structural homogeneity. The films deposited at >1000°C exhibit significant morphological and structural heterogeneity and therefore strongly scatter light. It is established that the account for light scattering leads to a blue shift of the fundamental absorption edge in the optical density spectra. The spectra of the scattering coefficients for the nc-SiC films are studied and calculated. The effect of high-temperature annealing on the film structure and scattering spectra is investigated. It is demonstrated that the structural variations induced by annealing are accompanied by a change of the initial mechanism of Rayleigh scattering in the nc-SiC films for the Mie scattering.

A phase sensitive optical rotation measurement in a scattered chiral medium using a Zeeman laser

A novel circular polarized optical heterodyne interferometer using a Zeeman laser to measure optical rotation both in nonscattered and scattered chiral medium is proposed. A pair of correlated orthogonal circular polarized light waves of different temporal frequency propagating in the chiral medium at different speed is studied. This results in phase retardation between circular polarized light waves of which the phase difference is proportional to the optical rotation angle of a linear polarized light in a chiral medium. In the mean time, two orthogonal circular polarized light waves can be treated as a circular polarized photon pair that is able to reduce the scattering effect in a scattered chiral medium. Then the optical rotation angle can be measured in the scattering medium. In addition, a common-path configuration with respect to circular polarized light waves immune the background noise. This further improves the sensitivity on optical rotation measurement based on phase difference detection.

Mechanisms of ultrasonic modulation of multiply scattered coherent light: a Monte Carlo model

A Monte Carlo model of the ultrasonic modulation of multiply scattered coherent light in scattering media is provided. The model is based on two mechanisms: the ultrasonic modulation of the index of refraction, which causes a modulation of the optical path lengths between consecutive scattering events, and the ultrasonic modulation of the displacements of scatterers, which causes a modulation of optical path lengths with each scattering event. Multiply scattered light accumulates modulated optical path lengths along its path. Consequently, the intensity of the speckles that are formed by the multiply scattered light is modulated. The contribution from the index of refraction is comparable with the contribution from displacement when the acoustic-wave vector is less than a critical fraction of the transport mean free path and becomes increasingly greater than the contribution from displacement beyond this critical point. This Monte Carlo model agrees well with an independent analytical model for isotropically scattering media. Both mechanisms are coherent phenomena, requiring the use of a coherent light source.     

基于杂散光抑制要求的光学表面粗糙度控制方法研究

光学表面加工误差引起的散射是影响光学系统成像性能的重要因素.描述表面总散射能量的均方根粗糙度是评定光学表面粗糙度的通用指标,但因其未能体现散射能量的空间分布,在表征光学表面散射对具体光学系统杂散光性能影响时存在准确度不足的局限.本文基于全积分散射及双向散射分布函数理论,针对杂散光抑制要求提出一种光学表面粗糙度控制的新方法.首先通过分析确定光学表面纹理中影响系统杂散光的空间频率范围,然后度量该频率带限范围内的表面均方根粗糙度,作为控制光学表面粗糙度的指标.以太阳磁场望远镜(MFT)为例进行方法验证,确定主镜表面纹理有效频率范围为0—18 mm~(-1),分析了主镜表面带限均方根粗糙度对MFT杂散光性能的影响.结果表明,带限均方根粗糙度与MFT杂散光性能之间的关系稳定性能大幅提高,由此验证了采用带限均方根粗糙度描述光学表面粗糙度,能更为准确地控制其对具体光学系统杂散光性能的影响.
