Directional hemispherical radiative properties of random dielectric rough surfaces

In this paper the directional hemispherical reflectivity and transmissivity of one-dimensional, randomly rough, dielectric surfaces are determined by the use of the integral method. This method is derived from electromagnetic theory without any restrictive hypotheses. Since this exact approach is computationally very intensive, a geometric optics approximation method is also developed. Curves displaying radiative properties versus the correlation length for a constant mean square deviation of the surface from flatness are presented. In this respect, the influence on the validity of the approximate method of multiple scattering, the shadowing effect and the real index of refraction of the dielectric have been investigated. Transverse electric and transverse magnetic polarized incident plane waves are considered. For the latter, our interest is focused on the influence of roughness on the reflected and transmitted intensities for an angle of incidence close to the Brewster angle.     

倾斜直流场下的介质板击穿统计分析

传统分析介质板次级电子倍增问题的粒子追踪算法方法存在运算耗时长、运算量大等缺点,为此采用统计方法实现了倾斜强直流场下介质击穿过程中次级电子倍增效应的数值模拟,给出了击穿过程中电子数量,电子渡越时间等关键参数的时间图像,同时研究了倾斜角、介质表面光滑度和次级电子产生率对次级电子倍增效应的影响。研究结果表明:强直流场下的次级电子倍增效应存在倾斜角的区域,倾斜角太大或者太小,都可能不会发生次级电子倍增效应,如果倾斜角位于区域内,则饱和状态时电子数目随着倾斜角度的变大而变小;选取光滑系数和次级电子产生系数越小的介质材料,抑制次级电子倍增效应的效果越好。

Effect of dielectric interface on vector field mapping using gold nanoparticles as a local probe: Theory and experiment

We investigate the influence of an air–dielectric interface on evanescent field vector detections using a gold nanoparticle as a local probe. In particular, we are interested in how the reflected field from the interface modifies the scattered signal, both in its strength and polarization direction depending on the detection angle. Dielectric–air or dielectric–water interface is a most widely used platform to perform single molecule spectroscopy. Knowing the electric field direction that the single molecule experiences is prerequisite for obtaining precise information on that molecule. The far-field scattered signal is derived by solving self-consistently the polarization induced on the gold nanoparticle by the local field and its radiated field in the Green function formalism. The scattered light intensity for each detector polarization direction is obtained by varying the dielectric constant, the distance from the gold nanoparticle to the interface, and the detection angle. The gold nanoparticle is modeled by a single dipole and coupled dipoles, respectively, and comparisons are given. Detection angle dependent far-field measurements are compared with theory, and they are in good agreements. Our study shows that for vector-field mapping on dielectric-interface, an ideal detector angle exists whereby the horizontal and vertical field components can be readily deduced without further correction. For any other detector angles, a correction factor should be taken into consideration to determine local field polarization direction.

Analysis of Trapping Force and Torque for Fiber-optical Trap by the Finite-differential Time-domain (FDTD) Method

In this paper,the FDTD method is used to calculate the light field distribution in an uncoated fiber probe with a small dielectric particle.By integrating Maxwell′s stress tensor in the FDTD calculation,the time-averaged force exerted on the dielectric particles with different sizes and at different positions is obtained.The calculation results are also verified experimentally.The force near the axis in the vicinity of the tip is about 10-14 N for the incident 10 mW laser of 980 nm.Furthermore,the torque exerting on an ellipsoidal dielectric particle by focusing light field with two fiber probes is calculated and the dependence of this torque on both the declination angle of the ellipsoidal particle and the incident laser power ratio of the two probes is obtained.The detailed intensity map within the particle is also given.

Light scattering by dielectric particles with axial symmetry

A new method is suggested for solving the problem of scattering of a plane electromagnetic wave by dielectric particles with the axial symmetry. The method is based on the separation of fields into two parts: the axially symmetric part, which is independent of the angle of rotation, and the part that is not axially symmetric, which vanishes upon averaging over this angle. The scattering problem is solved separately for each of the parts. In the first case, scalar potentials related to the azimuthal components of electromagnetic fields are used, and in the second case, superpositions of the Debye potentials and vertical components of the Hertz vectors are used. The surface integral equations for these potentials are obtained. They are represented as expansions in the spherical wave functions. The infinite systems of linear algebraic equations are obtained for unknown expansion coefficients. Our calculations demonstrated the high efficiency of the new method.     

A novel method to measure dielectric properties of materials in terahertz spectroscopy

We present a simple method to obtain the optical and dielectric properties of samples without reference measurement in the reflection-type terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. The dielectric properties of the samples of silicon and gallium arsenide were examined. The optical and dielectric properties of the samples were measured through only simple configuration, without the misplacement error. The obtained dielectric functions of the samples in reflection geometry are in good agreement with that predicated by the theory. The main advantage of this method over other methods is its simplicity and accuracy and ease for application of the reflection systems with different incident angle.     

Effective dielectric constant model of electromagnetic backscattering from stratified air–sea surface film–sea water medium

Studies of surface film medium on the sea surface are carried out in this paper for developing the technology to automatically detect and classify sea surface films, and an effective dielectric constant model of electromagnetic backscattering from a stratified air–ocean interface. Numerical results of the new model show the characteristics of effective dielectric constants for the air–sea surface film–sea water medium as follows. The effective dielectric constants decrease with increasing relative dielectric constants of the sea surface films. The effective dielectric constants decrease in horizontal polarization(abbr. HH polarization) and increase in VV vertical polarization(abbr. VV polarization) with increasing radar incident angle. Effective dielectric constants vary with relative sea surface film thickness as a cosinusoidal function of sea surface film thickness. Effective dielectric constant of VV polarization is larger than that of HH polarization. Two potential applications are found with our model, i.e., the retrieval of dielectric constants from the sea surface film, and the film thickness retrieval with our model. Our model has a highly significant influence on improving the technology related to the remote sensing of sea surface films.     

Dependence of the optical properties of UHV deposited silver thin films on the deposition parameters and their relation to the nanostructure of the films

Silver films were deposited on glass substrates under different deposition conditions, i.e. different film thicknesses, deposition rates and deposition angles. Their optical properties were measured by spectrophotometry in the spectral range of 185–3300 nm. The Kramers–Kronig method was used to analyze the reflectivity curves of the silver films to obtain their optical constants. The influence of substrate temperature on the microstructure of thin metallic films, the structure zone model (SZM), is well established, whereas there has been some previous work on the influence of film thickness and morphology, deposition rate and deposition angle on the microstructure and morphology of thin films. An effective medium approximation (EMA) analysis was used to establish the relationship between the atomic force microscopy results, SZM predictions and EMA results, and hence the optical properties of silver thin films. The predictions of the Drude free-electron theory are compared with experimental results for dielectric functions of Ag films produced under different deposition conditions. The real part of the dielectric constant increases with film thickness and decreases with increasing deposition rate and with increasing incidence angle, whereas the imaginary part of the dielectric constant decreases with increasing film thickness and deposition rate and with decreasing incidence angle over the whole energy range measured, including the interaband and interband regions.     

Frequency selective surface with a flat topped passband

Two frequency selective surface (FSS) configurations with flat topped passband are presented in this paper.One configuration is single layer FSS with λ/4 thickness dielectric loaded on both sides, and the other is double layers FSS. Based on the modal matching method, the frequency response properties including angle effect and polarization effect of both FSS configurations are analyzed, and the plots of the frequency versus transmission coefficient are obtained for different incident angles and polarizations. It is shown that the structure with the single layer FSS embedded centrally in the λ/2 thickness dielectric has a wider flat top bandwidth of 6.8 GHz than that of the double layers FSS of 3 GHz. In addition, the fabrication of single layer is relatively easier than the double layers FSS.

Study on guided-mode resonance characteristic of multilayer dielectric grating with broadband and wide using-angle

Guided-mode resonance in a diffraction band of multilayer dielectric gratings may lead to a catastrophic result in laser system, especially in the ultrashort pulse laser system, so the inhibition of guided-mode resonance is very important. In this paper the characteristics of guided-mode resonance in multilayer dielectric grating are studied with the aim of better understanding the physical process of guided-mode resonance and designing a broadband multilayer dielectric grating with no guided-mode resonance. By employing waveguide theory, all guided-wave modes appearing in multilayer dielectric grating are found, and the incident conditions, separately, corresponding to each guided-wave mode are also obtained. The electric field enhancement in multilayer dielectric grating is shown obviously. Furthermore, from the detailed analyses on the guided-mode resonance conditions, it is found that the reduction of grating period would effectively avoid the appearing of guided-mode resonance. And the expressions for calculating maximum periods, which ensure that no guided-mode resonance occurs in the requiring broad angle or wavelength range, are first reported. The above results calculated by waveguide theory and Fourier mode method are compared wit each other, and they are coincident completely. Moreover, the method that relies on waveguide theory is more helpful for understanding the guided-mode resonance excited process and analyzing how each parameter affects the characteristic of guided-mode resonance. Therefore, the effects of multilayer dielectric grating parameters, such as period, fill factor, thickness of grating layer, {\it et al.}, on the guided-mode resonance characteristic are discussed in detail based on waveguide theory, and some meaningful results are obtained.

Reaction dynamics for heavy particle charge transfer reactions in polar solvents and ion dielectric friction

The authors' theory of a solvent's influence on heavy particle charge transfer reactions in polar solvents with complex frequency-dependent dielectric constant is applied to treat the dielectric friction on a moving ion. The aim is to demonstrate a relation between the approach used in the theory and other approaches used for treating solute-solvent Coulomb interactions. As a result Zwanzig's formula is recovered. In addition, because this formula is derived by the other method, the relationship between the dielectric friction and the dynamics of nonequilibrium solvent polarization is demonstrated in a very transparent manner.
