基于部分相干光的传输理论,研究了杨氏双缝干涉实验中的光谱奇异现象。发现在杨氏双缝干涉实验干涉场区中的某个点的光谱奇异现象,它会随着某些参量(如源光谱宽度Γ′,缝宽参量ε,相对空间相干度Δ0)的变化而改变,指出该现象可应用于信息的编码及自由空间的信息传输。     

涡旋光束经杨氏双缝干涉后的光谱变化

从完全相干光的传输定理出发,研究了完全相干涡旋光照射在双缝上,干涉场中的光谱变化。研究结果表明,和普通的完全相干光(平面波)经双缝干涉的光谱变化相比较,涡旋光束的光谱变化情况显得更加丰富。研究了相对平均频率的变化,发现相对平均频率将随着源光谱的宽度,拓扑荷数以及观察点位置的变化而变化。给出了对应于不同拓扑荷数,一个固定观察面的相对平均频率的分布情况。     

杨氏双缝干涉实验的光谱变化

从理论和实验上研究了当部分相干光照射在双缝上时,杨氏双缝干涉实验干涉场中的光谱变化.指出干涉场中的归一化光谱在某些空间点处出现了蓝移,在另外一些空间点处出现了红移,而在这些空间点的中间,光谱分裂为等值的两条,出现了光谱开关现象.发现当观察点从轴上向轴外移动的过程中,在很多空间观察点处都出现了光谱开关现象.此外,研究结果还表明光谱相干度将对光谱的移动和光谱开关现象产生重要的影响.     

部分相干光被色差透镜聚焦的光谱异常现象

研究了色差透镜聚焦宽频带部分相干光,观察到在聚焦光场轴上点出现的光谱奇异现象.结果表明:与入射光的光谱比较,聚焦光场某些轴上点的光谱发生很大的变化.这种光谱变化不仅与透镜的色差有关,而且还与入射的部分相干光的相干度有关.当色差一定时,部分相干光空间相干度越大,色差对轴上点光谱的影响就越大.而当部分相干光空间相干度一定时,色差越大,轴上点光谱的变化也就越大.研究结果还表明,在一定的条件下,光谱位移会发生快速变化,即发生了光谱开关现象.     

杨氏实验远场的光谱位移和光谱开关

从部分相干光的传输定律出发，研究了杨氏双缝实验远场的光谱变化。指出杨氏实验中光谱开关在远场也会出现.缝的衍射和光的空间相干性是产生光谱开关的物理原因，增大缝参量ε和源的空间相关度△光谱开关效应越显著。作了详细的数值计算以说明远场光谱位移和光谱开关的特性，并与已有的工作进行了比较。

部分相干厄米-高斯光束杨氏实验中的光强分布

将杨氏干涉实验作为双缝衍射现象处理,以部分相干厄米-高斯(H-G)光束为例,研究分析了多模部分相干光的杨氏双缝干涉光强和干涉条纹可见度的空间分布。数值计算说明,多模部分相干光束的空间相干参数、模阶数和缝遮拦比对衍射场中光强的空间分布(干涉花样)都有影响。当多模部分相干光的阶数为奇数时,轴上光强与光束的相干性会出现相消干涉;当多模部分相干光的阶数为偶数时,轴上光强与光束的相干性会出现相长干涉等。     

光谱开关与多色光场的奇点光学效应

推导出多色高斯光束和高斯-谢尔模型光束通过杨氏实验双缝传输的谱强度公式.对完全空间相干光和部分空间相干光照明杨氏实验装置出现的光谱开关作了详细研究,并判断其是否属于奇点光学效应. 结果表明：多色场奇点光学效应的判据应当是光谱开关出现时的谱强度极小值S_min=0,而不是总光强极小值I_min=0. 当用多色高斯-谢尔模型光束照明杨氏实验装置时,在近场和远场产生的光谱开关都不属于奇点光学效应. 当用多色高斯光束照明杨氏实验装置时,只有远场产 关键词： 光谱开关 奇点光学效应 完全相干和部分相干 多色光场

部分相干电磁光束在杨氏双缝实验中的偏振特性

推导了部分相干电磁光束经过杨氏双缝干涉后偏振度的表达式,研究了干涉光场偏振度的变化情况.结果表明,干涉光场偏振度不仅取决于双缝处的偏振度、相干长度,而且还取决于杨氏双缝缝宽.当所有相干长度都相等时,干涉光场偏振度不再发生变化,其值就等于双缝处的偏振度.着重分析了系统中交叉谱密度矩阵系数Bxy=Byx≠0的情况,并将结果与Bxy=Byx=0时作了比较.     

Analytical characterization of spectral anomalies in polychromatic apertured beams

The power spectrum of polychromatic apertured spherical waves changes strongly in the vicinity of phase singularities. A spectral shift effect is observed and, in some cases, a spectral switch occurs together with a broadening of the power spectrum. Low-order moments of the power spectrum are evaluated in points of the focal volume with spectral anomalies. First-order analytical expressions are proposed for the evaluation of the relative spectral shift and the relative spectral broadening in the transverse focal plane and along the optical axis. The influence of the fractional bandwidth and the selected singularity order is considered.

The spectral changes of partially coherent light focused by an apertured lens with chromatic aberration

The spectral changes of a partially coherent polychromatic light focused by an apertured lens with chromatic aberration are investigated. It is demonstrated that the spectrum in the focused field is different from that in the aperture. Comparing with the spectrum in the aperture, the spectrum in the focused field shifts to lower or higher frequency, which is defined as a spectral shift. The influence of chromatic aberration of the lens, the coherence of the partially coherent light in the aperture, the radius of the aperture, and the spectral width of the spectrum of the aperture on the spectral shift are investigated in detail. The numerical results show that these parameters affect the spectral shift noticeably.     

Spectral anomalies in supercontinuum focused waves

The diffraction-induced spectral anomalies in the focal plane of an apertured spherical wave with supercontinuum flat-top power spectrum are investigated. Coherent broadband radiation (also incoherent white light) demonstrates a strong blue shift in the vicinity of the optical axis, and discrete spectral gaps with overall red shift arise out of this central region. Unlike narrow-band light, the spectral switch effect fades away with ultra-broad spectra.     

The influence of nonparaxiality on the spectral behavior in Young's experiment illuminated by partially coherent light

Starting from the Rayleigh--Sommerfeld diffraction integral, this paper studies the spectral behavior in Young's experiment illuminated by nonparaxial partially coherent light and compares with the paraxial case, where the influence of nonparaxiality of partially coherent light on the spectral shifts and spectral switches is stressed. It is shown that there is a spectral shift in the nonparaxial case relative to the paraxial one and the critical position changes, at which the spectral switch occurs. The ratio of the waist width to the central wavelength w₀/λ₀ and relative spatial correlation length \De affect the spectral difference. The smaller w₀/λ₀ is, the larger the difference between the nonparaxial and paraxial results appears. The effect of relative spatial correlation length Δ is relatively small.     

Diffraction-induced spectral anomalies for information encoding and information hiding - Possibilities and limitations

It has been shown both theoretically and experimentally that drastic spectral changes take place around phase singularity and the shift in the spectral lines gives rise to the phenomenon called spectral switching. The shift of spectral lines towards the blue end or towards the red end of the spectrum might perhaps be used in free space communication applications. In more recent investigations, the possibility of information encoding with spectral anomalies have been discussed for two different optical systems. In this paper, we present schemes of information encoding and information hiding in the Airy pattern formed by diffraction of spatially coherent light after passing through a circular aperture. We propose a communication system that might be used to realize a new communication technique.     

部分相干平顶光束在线性增益(损耗)介质中的光谱特性

根据Li提出的平顶光束模型和部分相干光理论，推导出部分相干平顶光束在线性增益(损耗)介质中传输的光谱分布解析表达式，定量研究了部分相干平顶光束在线性增益(损耗)介质中传输的光谱特性，分析了近场和远场轴上光谱的变化特点，以及介质的增益(损耗)特性、光源的中心频率、空间相干参数以及谱宽等因素对光谱变化的影响. 研究结果表明，部分相干平顶光束在线性增益(损耗)介质中传输时，光源的中心频率、光谱宽度、空间相干参数对相对谱移量影响较大，但对光谱分布随传输距离的总体变化趋势影响较小，而光谱分布随传输距离的总体变化趋势则主要由平顶光束的阶数所决定. 关键词： 部分相干平顶光束 光谱特性 谱移 线性增益(损耗)介质     

Power broadening of the Na-D lines in a flame—I. Time-dependent spectral and spatial properties of a flashlamp pumped dye laser

Prior to power broadening experiments on the Na-D lines in a flame (described in Part II), we investigated the time-dependent spectral and spatial properties of a flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser (pulse duration about 800 ns, FWHM), with Rhodamine-6G in methanol as dye liquid and an interference filter combined with a Fabry-Pérot etalon as bandwidth-restricting elements in the cavity. An experimental set-up is described that permits measurements of time-dependent spectra with a time-resolution of 10 ns and a spectral resolution of 2.5 × 10⁵. Results are given for different concentrations of the dye solution and for two different bandwidth settings of the laser. In general the spectral profiles at different moments during the pulse are well described by Gaussian curves. The spatial profiles at different moments during the pulse are best fitted by Lorentzian curves. At small concentrations of the dye solution, the time behaviour of the shift and the bandwidth are in (qualitative) agreement with theoretical predictions, i.e. a narrowing of the bandwidth and a shift to longer wavelengths of the line centre.
