四孔径衍射屏在近场形成的光强分布及拓扑荷

利用基尔霍夫衍射理论计算模拟了四圆孔径衍射屏在菲涅耳深区形成的衍射光场的强度、零值线和相位的分布,发现衍射光场亮斑关于中心呈对称分布,在距离衍射屏较近的观察面上,光强值为零的点组成光强零值线段,该线段上光强等值线的离心率都接近或等于1,其两侧的光强值变化非常剧烈。复振幅的实部和虚部零值线多为封闭的曲线,零值线交叉点的个数为偶数,并且正负相位奇异点的个数相等。特殊相位奇异点周围的相位不仅呈对称分布,而且该点的拓扑荷的值近似为零。随着光波的传播,在不同的观察面上光强零值线段逐渐变短,最终趋于一点。

利用干涉光场的相位涡旋测量拉盖尔-高斯光束的轨道角动量

对拉盖尔-高斯光束经多圆孔衍射屏在远场平面上形成的干涉光场的相位和零值线进行了计算模拟.当入射光束的轨道角动量量子数为零时,实部零值线与虚部零值线在干涉光场中心点不相交,因而在该点上不能形成相位涡旋.当入射光束的轨道角动量量子数为+1和-1时,实部零值线与虚部零值线在干涉光场中心垂直并相交,干涉光场相应位置处的相位涡旋的符号相反.当入射光束的轨道角动量量子数为±2和±3时,有四条零值线相交于干涉光场的中心点上,并且实部零值线和虚部零值线交替分布,该交点处形成的相位涡旋的拓扑荷的值恰好与拉盖尔-高斯光束的轨道角动量量子数相等.这种结果可以用来测量涡旋光束的轨道角动量.     

Intensity and phase distribution in deep Fresnel diffraction region generated by multi-pinhole aperture

The Kirchhoff diffraction theory is applied to the multi-pinhole aperture diffraction screens, and the intensity, the zero-contour of the real and imaginary parts of complex amplitude and the phase distribution in deep Fresnel diffraction region are simulated. It is found that the number of bright spots, the zero-contours of the real and imaginary parts of complex amplitude and the phase singularities are all related to number of pinholes in diffraction screens. The brightness of bright spots in center of each pattern would become larger with increasing number of pinholes. In addition, there are many lines, on which the intensity value is close to 0.     

Experimental study of regional fractal speckle produced in large angle scattering

Using the interference of speckle and the spherical reference wave,we extract the real and the imaginary parts of the complex amplitudes of the speckle in large angle scattering.By calculating the spatial correlation functions of intensity,we find that the speckle has a property of regional fractality,i.e.the fractal exponent equals 1 in a small spatial region and it becomes less than 1 in a bigger region.The empirical analytic expression of the intensity correlation function is gained.The probability density distributions of the intensities and the complex amplitudes show that the regional fractal speckle still obeys zero-mean circular complex Gaussian statistics.     

Eikonal amplitude in the gravireggeon model at superplanckian energies

The gravity effects in high-energy scattering, described by a four-dimensional eikonal amplitude related to gravireggeons induced by compact extra dimensions are studied. It is demonstrated that the real part of the eikonal (with a massless mode subtracted) dominates its imaginary part at both small and large impact parameters, in contrast with the usual case of hadronic high-energy behavior. The real part of the scattering amplitude exhibits an exponential falloff at large momentum transfer, similar to that of the imaginary part of the amplitude.Received: 20 May 2004, Revised: 8 July 2004, Published online: 2 September 2004     

The complex phase gradient method applied to leaky Lamb waves

The classical phase gradient method applied to the characterization of the angular resonances of an immersed elastic plate, i.e., the angular poles of its reflection coefficient R, was proved to be efficient when their real parts are close to the real zeros of R and their imaginary parts are not too large compared to their real parts. This method consists of plotting the partial reflection coefficient phase derivative with respect to the sine of the incidence angle, considered as real, versus incidence angle. In the vicinity of a resonance, this curve exhibits a Breit-Wigner shape, whose minimum is located at the pole real part and whose amplitude is the inverse of its imaginary part. However, when the imaginary part is large, this method is not sufficiently accurate compared to the exact calculation of the complex angular root. An improvement of this method consists of plotting, in 3D, in the complex angle plane and at a given frequency, the angular phase derivative with respect to the real part of the sine of the incidence angle, considered as complex. When the angular pole is reached, the 3D curve shows a clear-cut transition whose position is easily obtained.     

Experimental investigation of local properties and statistics of optical vortices in random wave fields

We present the first direct experimental evidence of the local properties of optical vortices in a random laser speckle field. We have observed the Berry anisotropy ellipse describing the anisotropic squeezing of phase lines close to vortex cores and quantitatively verified the Dennis angular momentum rule for its phase. Some statistics associated with vortices, such as density, anisotropy ellipse eccentricity, and its relation to zero crossings of real and imaginary parts of the random field, are also investigated by experiments.
