Higher diffraction order photorefractive optical beam splitter

A higher diffraction order photorefractive (PR) optical beam splitter has been realized based on a PR higher diffraction order grating. In the experiments, the beam splitter was produced by two-wave coupling at a small incident angle in Fe:LiNbO₃ using the output from a He–Ne laser at 632.8 nm. An incident signal beam containing three different wavelengths (632.8, 532.0 and 488.0 nm) was split into multi-output beams by the beam splitter. The size of higher diffraction order is given and the influence of crystal thickness is discussed. Results show that the higher diffraction order PR optical beam splitter provides a practical method to split a multi-wavelength signal beam.     

Polarization beam splitter with wide bandwidth in air-hole-based periodic dielectric waveguides

A polarization beam splitter with wide bandwidth and simple structure in air-hole-based periodic dielectric waveguides has been proposed and designed. Operation principle of the device is based on different directional coupling properties of beams in TE and TM polarizations in parallel periodic dielectric waveguides. Performances have been evaluated by a finite-difference time-domain simulation. Results show that the polarization beam splitter provides a wide bandwidth of 113 nm with both a high extinction ratio (higher than 21 dB) and a low insertion loss (less than 1.5 dB) for optical communication wavelengths at ∼1.55 μm. Moreover, the performances of the polarization beam splitter are insensitive to longitudinal alignment errors in the coupling region, which is desirable for device fabrication and practical application.     

Beam delivery system with a non-digitized diffractive beam splitter for laser-drilling of silicon

We report a beam-delivery system consisting of a non-digitized diffractive beam splitter and a Fourier transform lens. The system is applied to the deep-drilling of silicon using a nanosecond pulse laser in the manufacture of inkjet printer heads. In this process, a circularly polarized pulse beam is divided into an array of uniform beams, which are then delivered precisely to the process points. To meet these requirements, the splitter was designed to be polarization-independent with an efficiency>95%. The optical elements were assembled so as to allow the fine tuning of the effective overall focal length by adjusting the wavefront curvature of the beam. Using the system, a beam alignment accuracy of<5 μm was achieved for a 12-mm-wide beam array and the throughput was substantially improved (10,000 points on a silicon wafer drilled in ~1 min). This beam-delivery scheme works for a variety of laser applications that require parallel processing.

1-to-N beam splitter based on photonic crystal branched waveguide structure

A novel beam splitter is proposed based on a two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal (PC) branched waveguide structure. The beam splitter structure comprises branched waveguide channels and extra dielectric columns. These branched waveguide channels are used to obtain secondary sources and the introduced extra dielectric columns are used to control the phase difference of the secondary point sources. The field distributions of the beam are investigated using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD). It is found that the number of beams is sensitive to the distance of the waveguide channels ports and extra dielectric columns. By adjusting the positions of the waveguide channels and the parameters of the extra dielectric columns, 1-to-N beam splitters can be realized. These simple, easily fabricated and controllable structures have important potential applications in integrated optical circuits.     

Observation of polarization-controlled spatial splitting of four-wave mixing in a three-level atomic system

We report experimental observations of intensity modulation and spatial splitting of four-wave mixing (FWM) signal beams which can be effectively controlled by the polarization states of the pumping laser beams. Due to the periodic change of the pumping beam’s polarization states, the intensity of the FWM beam also evolves periodically. The periodic spatial splitting phenomenon has been observed in both x- and y-directions. The cases with/without the dressing beams are compared. Such studies can be very useful in better understanding the formation of spatial solitons and for signal processing applications, such as spatial beam splitter, routing, and switching.     

Second-order temporal interference of two independent light beams at an asymmetrical beam splitter

The second-order temporal interference of classical and nonclassical light at an asymmetrical beam splitter is discussed based on two-photon interference in Feynman's path integral theory. The visibility of the second-order interference pattern is determined by the properties of the superposed light beams, the ratio between the intensities of these two light beams, and the reflectivity of the asymmetrical beam splitter. Some requirements about the asymmetrical beam splitter have to be satisfied in order to ensure that the visibility of the second-order interference pattern of nonclassical light beams exceeds the classical limit. The visibility of the second-order interference pattern of photons emitted by two independent single-photon sources is independent of the ratio between the intensities. These conclusions are important for the researches and applications in quantum optics and quantum information when an asymmetrical beam splitter is employed.

Mutual Focusing of Electromagnetic Waves in the Ionospheric Plasma

A one dimensional analysis has been carried out to study the interaction of two co-axial electromagnetic waves propagating vertically at close frequencies in the F-region ionosphere. Coupled equations for the beam width parameters of the two interacting waves have been set up to determine the intensities in the axial direction. Two cases have been examined, i one of the em beams is assumed to be weak so that its influence on the medium as well as on the other beam is neglected, ii) the two beams are of comparable intensities so that they mutually influence each other. In the first case the axial intensity of the weak beam grows at the expense of the other one which is strong. Whereas in the other situation mutual influence results in the focusing of both the beams.

A compact T-branch beam splitter based on anomalous reflection in two-dimensional photonic crystals

We project a compact T-branch beam splitter with a micron scale using a two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal (PC). For TE polarization, one light beam can be split into two sub-beams along opposite directions. The propagating directions of the two splitting beams remain unchanged when the incident angle varies in a certain range. Coupled-mode theory is used to analyze the truncating interface structure in order to investigate the energy loss of the splitter. Simulation results and theoretical analysis show that choosing an appropriate location of the truncating interface (PC-air interface) is very important for obtaining high efficiency due to the effect of defect modes. The most advantage of this kind of beam splitter is being fabricated and integrated easily.

Multi-element focused ion beams using compact microwave plasma ion source

Focused ion beams (FIB) are widely used for research and applications in nanoscience and technology. We have developed a compact microwave plasma based multi element FIB (MEFIB) system in order to widen the applications and overcome the limitations faced by conventional Liquid Metal Ion Source (LMIS) based FIB systems, that provide primarily Ga ions. The MEFIB source provides high density plasmas (∼1.5 × 10¹¹ cm⁻³) in a compact cross section. Recently the ion energy spread in the plasma meniscus from where the beams are extracted is found to be small (∼5 eV) [1–3]. The beam extraction and focusing are carried out using electrostatic multi electrode assembly. AXCEL INP and SIMION simulation codes are employed for the design of electrostatic Einzel lenses for beam focusing. The beam focal point is measured using a specially designed three slit Faraday cup and the spot size is measured by the micrography of craters formed by the focused ion beams impinging on copper and aluminium substrates. The initial experimental results show a focused beam spot size of ∼ 25 micron which is in good agreement with the simulations. By further reduction of electrode apertures and operating the second Einzel lens at higher potentials, submicron focused ion beams can be expected.

Two-dimensional higher-diffraction-order optical beam splitter based on phenanthrenequinone-doped poly(methyl methacrylate) photopolymer

A two-dimensional optical beam splitter has been realized that uses the higher diffraction orders of a refractive-index grating. Gratings were recorded experimentally with light from a semiconductor laser incident at a small angle on phenanthrenequinone-doped poly(methyl methacrylate) photopolymer. The incident signal beam, which was made up of three different wavelengths (632.8, 532.0, and 488.0 nm), was split by the grating into multiple output beams with nearly equal size and separation. Results are given for when the sample grating was placed behind, in front of, and in the focal plane of a Fourier lens. The properties of higher-order-diffraction images have been discussed. The discussion shows that a two-dimensional higher-diffraction-order optical beam splitter provides a practical method for splitting a signal beam.
