基于平板波导的小型红外光栅光谱仪光学设计

为实现红外光谱仪器的小型化,通过分析现有小型光谱仪,提出了一种基于平板波导的小型红外光栅光谱仪的设计方法。平板波导光谱仪的小型化原理与一般的微小型光谱仪不同。在平板波导光谱仪中,光束被限制在一层薄薄的平板波导介质中传播,看起来像是整个光学系统被压扁了。在垂直于平板波导的方向上光学元件的尺寸可以做到很小,从而显著减小光学系统的尺寸。该系统的设计可分为Czerny-Turner结构设计、波导结构设计。先根据像差理论设计Czerny-Turner结构,目标是保证光谱分辨率及校正像差;然后根据几何光学理论设计波导结构,包括平板波导和两个柱面透镜,目标是压缩光束并校正像散;最后将它们输入Zemax软件中进行综合优化,以获得最优的光学系统。据此方法设计了一个平板波导红外光栅光谱仪,工作波段为8~12 μm,数值孔径为0.22,采用线阵探测器。通过Zemax软件对结果进行分析和评价,表明仪器光学系统的尺寸为130 mm×125 mm×20 mm,工作波段内光谱分辨率达到80 nm,满足设计指标要求。证明了该优化设计方法是可行的,所得系统尺寸小、性能高。     

光盘物镜的形式及检测

一、前言光盘存贮技术是七十年代初发展起来的高密度信息存贮技术,光盘记录和再生的基本技术之一是微细光学系统的研究,物镜是光学系统的核心。物镜将光束会聚成一个达到衍射极限的微小光斑照射在光盘表面上记录和读出信息。记录的信息凹坑直径和物镜的成象质量、数值孔径有密切关系,且还与波长、照明型式、存贮介质的阈值、熔化、蒸发特性有关。读出信息与物镜的光学特性、成象质量有关。因而设计、研制达到使用要求的光学系统,对其进行象质检验是很重要的。     

多层对称薄膜的光子晶体光波导设计

基于多层对称薄膜的反射镜作用,设计了一种工作波长位于1550nm附近的基于周期性多层膜的光子晶体光波导。由平板波导的相关理论分析了波长在1515~1587nm范围内电磁波在波导中的传输性质。研究表明TE模和TM模在波导都是基模传输,其功率约束因子(Γ)限制在0.99~1之间,说明波导近乎完全将光波限制在其中传输。在控光能力上这种结构要比普通的三层薄膜波导更具优势。利用周期性多层膜的光子带隙结构,可以构造具有超低损耗的全向带隙介质光波导。     

一种新的超分辨记录点的读出技术

提出一种新的超分辨记录点的读出技术—超分辨反射膜技术，详细分析了其原理。用该技术，以Sb为超分辨反射膜，SiN为介电层，在激光波长为632．8nm和光学头的数值也径为0．40的读出光学系统中实现了直径为380nm的超分辨记录点的读出。同时研究了Sb薄膜厚度对读出信噪比的影响规律，发现最佳的Sb薄膜厚度为28～30nm，所得的信噪比为38～40dB。     

应用四元数方法对光存储光学系统的建模

光存储中的光学系统是一种非同轴光学系统，其中各个光学元件的设计位置与装配精度是保证系统光线正常传输并获得准确信号的前提。四元数方法是一种可以方便地描述空间光线的传输计算与坐标变换的数学方法。通过将四元数引入到光学头光学系统的建模中，使用四元数法表征非同轴光学系统的传输方式，并给出建立光学元件的设计、安装参数与聚焦光斑、读出光斑之间关系的流程图。据此模型对各个独立的研究对象进行分析的结果，对光存储中光学系统的设计与生产装配工艺的制定有指导意义；同时,以此模型分析物镜的连续运动对光斑和读出信号的影响，对光学头中的可执行机构力矩器的设计有实践作用。     

部分负曲率太赫兹空芯波导研究

提出了一种新型部分负曲率反谐振空芯太赫兹波导,波导包层包括两部分,一部分由介质圆管组成,为纤芯提供部分负曲率边界;另一部分由多个矩形介质层组成,多介质层可用来降低限制损耗.此波导结构在增加反谐振层的同时不引入新的包层节点,易于实现太赫兹波的宽带低损耗传输.采用全矢量有限元法对波导进行了数值仿真,研究了其宽带低损耗特性.基于此,利用3D打印技术制备了所设计波导,使用太赫兹时域光谱系统对其传输特性进行测试.实验结果表明,该负曲率太赫兹波导在0.29～0.42THz的传输损耗低于10dB/m,与数值仿真结果吻合较好.

Holographic read-only memory

We describe the three-dimensional holographic optical disc system for application as read-only memory. Several systems design issues are discussed including imaging optics, storage density, readout rate, and the alignment servo system.

Reflection-type confocal readout for multilayered optical memory

We present a multilayered optical memory for use in reading data with a confocal reflection microscope system. We use a recording medium in which photosensitive thin films and nonphotosensitive transparent films are stacked alternately. Since the photosensitive films are thinner than the depth of focus of the recording beam, the spatial frequency distribution of the recorded bit data is extended in the axial direction. The extended distribution overlaps the coherent optical transfer function of the reflection-type confocal microscope. Urethane-urea copolymer film is used as a photosensitive material. The recording and reading of two layers are demonstrated.     

Recording and reading of three-dimensional optical memory in glasses

We report on three-dimensional (3D) optical memory recording and reading in glass by femtosecond pulses. Optically induced dielectric breakdown of glass is a mechanism of recording. The formulae of dielectric breakdown presented are applicable, in principle, for any crystalline or amorphous dielectric material. Scaling dependences of the probabilities of multi-photon and impact ionization are given. The measured threshold of an in-bulk dielectric breakdown of silica was reproduced numerically by implementing the ionization potential of Si (8.15 eV) for calculations. Exact measures of focal spot size and pulse duration at the focus allowed us to evaluate the intensity of a pulse during recording of 3D optical memory bits with high accuracy. The readout of the 3D optical memory was carried out by the white-light continuum generated from the previously damaged sites (recorded memory bits). The mechanism of the readout was a four-photon parametric interaction. PACS 42.65.Jx; 42.65.Ky; 42.70.Ce; 42.79.Vb     

Reflection confocal microscope readout system for three-dimensional photochromic optical data storage

We propose to use a reflection confocal microscope (RCM) as a readout system for digital data stored in a three-dimensional (3D) photochromic optical memory. We describe the merits and the difficulties for 3D optical memory that are associated with the use of such a RCM.It is shown by means of 3D Fourier space analysis that successful reading of 3D data can be obtained by selection of the appropriate parameter for the RCM.The system parameters include the numerical aperture of the objective lens and the wavelength of the light used for analysis (reading). Experimental results of multilayer recording and reflection confocal reading in photochromic-molecule-doped poly(methyl methacrylate) are presented. Good-contrast images are obtained.

Nondestructive readout of a three-dimensional photochromic optical memory with a near-infrared differential phase-contrast microscope

A three-dimensional (3D) rewritable optical memory using photochromic material is described for high-density memory. The bits are recorded in a 3D volume of photochromic material. A transformation of the photochromic molecule between two isomers with different absorption spectra can be stimulated by irradiation with appropriate wavelengths. We show that a nondestructive readout of photochromic memory is possible by use of a small difference in the refractive index of the photochromic isomers in the near-IR range. For this purpose a near-IR laser-scan differential phase-contrast microscope is used. Experimental results of 3D recording and nondestructive reading are presented.     

Polymer waveguide with integrated reflector mirrors for an inter-chip link system

A polymer waveguide with integrated reflector mirrors is presented for an inter-chip link system. The cost-effective and repeatable technology for the integration of a polymer multimode waveguide and out-of-plane 45° reflector mirrors was developed for optical coupling between the light-sources and the light-detectors. This method enabled us to fabricate the waveguides and 45° reflector mirrors using a one-shot embossing process for inexpensive mass production. The optical inter-chip link system consisted of a metal optical bench, a module printed circuit board (PCB), a driver/receiver IC, a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL)/photo-detector (PD) array, and an optical waveguide composed of integrated reflector mirrors. The presented data transfer measurements of the optical inter-chip link system are shown to be successful at a data rate of 5 Gb/s.
