用直流溅射法在室温K9玻璃基底上制备了8.2nm—107.2nm范围内不同厚度的Ag薄膜，并用X射线衍射及计算机辅助优化程序对薄膜的微结构和光学常数进行了测试分析. 结构分析表明：制备的Ag薄膜均呈多晶状态，晶体结构均呈面心立方；随着膜厚的增加，薄膜的平均晶粒尺寸逐渐增大，晶面间距逐渐减小. 计算机辅助优化编程计算的薄膜光学常数分析表明：在波长550nm处，当膜厚小于17.5nm时，随着膜厚的增加，折射率n快速减小，消光系数k则快速增大；当膜厚大于17.5nm时，n和k逐渐趋于稳定. 关键词： 直流溅射镀膜 银膜 微结构 光学常数     

膜层厚度对金属薄膜光学常数的影响

从麦克斯韦方程出发,可以得到超薄金属膜层光学常数n、k与其厚度有关系的理论依据。采用电阻热蒸发和电子束热蒸发的方法在K9玻璃基底上分别沉积了不同厚度的Cu膜、Cr膜、Ag膜,由椭偏法检测、Drude模型拟合,获得了不同厚度Cu膜、Cr膜、Ag膜光学常数n、k随波长λ的变化规律。超薄金属薄膜与块状金属的光学常数相差较大,随着薄膜厚度的增加,n、k值趋近于块状金属。通过对样品膜层吸收、色散特性的分析,发现连续金属薄膜在可见光波段对长波的吸收较大,而且相比于介质薄膜平均色散率高10mn～102nm量级。     

纳米尺度HfO_2薄膜不同厚度对光学性质的影响

Hf O_2薄膜厚度达到纳米级别时,其光学性质会发生变化。光谱椭偏仪能够同时得到纳米尺度薄膜的厚度和光学常数,但是由于测量参数的关联性,光学常数的结果不准确可靠。本文采用溯源至SI单位的掠入射X射线反射技术对纳米尺度Hf O_2薄膜厚度进行准确测量,再以该量值为准确薄膜厚度参考值。利用光谱椭偏仪测量Hf O_2膜厚和光学常数时,参考膜厚量值,从而得到对应相关膜厚的薄膜准确光学参数。研究了以Al2O_3作为薄膜缓冲层的名义值厚度分别为2,5,10 nm的超薄Hf O_2薄膜厚度对光学性质的影响。实验结果表明,随着Hf O_2薄膜厚度的增加,折射率也逐渐增大,在激光波长632.8 nm下其折射率分别为1.901,2.042,2.121,并且接近于体材料,而消光系数始终为0,表明纳米尺度Hf O_2薄膜在较宽的光谱范围内具有较好的增透作用,对光没有吸收。     

超薄Ag膜的椭偏光谱建模及解谱

采用磁控溅射法制备了不同厚度的锑基铋掺杂薄膜,用X射线衍射(XRD)和透射电子显微镜(TEM)研究了薄膜结构随厚度的变化。利用椭圆偏振法测定了样品薄膜在近红外波段的光学常数与光学带隙,研究了膜厚对样品薄膜光学常数和光学带隙的影响。结果表明,膜厚从7 nm增加至100 nm时,其结构由非晶态转变为晶态。在950～2200 nm波段,不同厚度薄膜样品的折射率在4.6～8.9范围,消光系数在0.6～5.8范围,光学带隙在0.32～0.16 eV范围。随着膜厚的增加,薄膜的折射率和光学带隙减小,而消光系数升高;光学常数在膜厚50 nm时存在临界值,其原因是临界值前后薄膜微观结构变化不同。     

采用椭偏法结合分光光度法研究极薄银的光学常数

极薄银在滤光片、高反射镜等中有广泛的应用,其光学常数严重影响着膜系的特性。在室温条件下,采用电阻热蒸发技术分别在硅和玻璃基底上沉积5.3 nm~26 nm不同厚度的极薄银薄膜,用TalySurfCCI非接触式轮廓仪测量了薄膜的厚度,研究了不同厚度银薄膜的光学常数n和k。镀制厚度5.3 nm、7.9 nm、14.1 nm、26.0 nm的银薄膜,结果显示极薄银的光学常数与块状银光学常数不同,当膜厚小于14.1 nm时,折射率n在380 nm~600 nm随波长增加而增加,在600 nm~1 600 nm随波长增加缓慢减小至趋于稳定值2.6;消光系数k在380 nm~500 nm随着波长增加而增加,在500 nm~1 600 nm随波长增加而缓慢减小至趋于0不变;当膜厚大于14.1 nm时,折射率随波长增加而增加,消光系数随波长近似呈线性增加。整体上,膜厚增加时折射率减小且趋于块状银的折射率,k随厚度增加而增加并最终趋于块状膜。用此拟合的光学常数代入TFc膜系设计软件计算其透射率,发现与分光光度计测得的透射率吻合较好。

Theoretical analysis and simulation of conjugate heights for dual-conjugate AO system in lidar

A multi-conjugate adaptive optics （MCAO） can offer a possibility of widening field of view （FOV） characterized by the isoplanatic angle, and the choose of conjugate height becomes a basic problem for MCAO, which influences the size of iosplanatic angle. Considering the application of lidar, the isoplanatic angle＇s expressions of two deformable mirrors （DMs） MCAO for uplink and downlink are deduced. The effects of conjugate heights for dual-conjugate AO are thoughtfully discussed, and the isoplanatic angles are further analyzed. The results show that the isopanatic angle varies with the conjugate height and reaches the maximum as the conjugate height is at the optimal altitude. Moreover, the optimal conjugate height changes with the propagation distance.     

Quick single-photon detector with many avalanche photo diodes working on the time division

Due to the limit of response speed of the present single-photon detector, the code rate is still too low to come into practical use for the present quantum key distribution (QKD) system.A new idea is put up to design a quick single-photon detector.This quick single-photon detector is composed of a multi-port optic-fiber splitter and many avalanche photo diodes (APDs).Au of the ports with APDs work on the time division and cooperate with a logic discriminating and deciding unit driven by the clock signal.The operation frequency lies on the number N of ports, and can reach N times of the conventional single-photon detector.The single-photon prompt detection can come true for high repetition-rate pulses.The applying of this detector will largely raise the code rate of the QKD, and boost the commercial use.     

Characterization of PolyA and PolyC mismatches by Raman spectroscopy

A.C mismatches are studied by Raman spectral characterization of PolyA, PolyC, and their equimolar complex in solution of 0.14 mol/L Na ,pH7.0.Experimental results show that A·C mismatches occur to be A/B (mainly A) conformers, and unlike Watson-Crick base pairing, this kind of mismatches is stabilized by only one hydrogen bond involving cytosine N4H2 and adenine N7.The formation of A·C complex makes the base stacking interactions much stronger, and conformation of the backbone more ordered, which leads to obvious Raman hypochromic effect with some shifts in corresponding bands.     

Improvement of four-wave mixing-based wavelength conversion efficiency in dispersion shifted fiber by 40-GHz clock pumping

40-GHz clock modulated signal as a pump to improve the efficiency of four-wave mixing (FWM)-based wavelength conversion in a 26.5-km dispersion shifted fiber (DSF) is investigated. The experimental results demonstrate that the conjugated FWM component has higher intensity with the clock pumping than that with the continuous-wave (CW) light pumping. The improvement of FWM-based wavelength conversion efficiency is negligible when the pump power is less than Brillouin threshold. But when the pump power is greater than Brillouin threshold, the improvement becomes significant and increases with the increment of pump power. The improvement can increase up to 9 dB if pump power reaches 17 dBm.     

Multi-pulse operation of a Kerr-lens mode-locked femtosecond laser

Our experimental results show that the presence of a proper amount of negative group velocity dispersion is essential to multi-pulse operation of a Kerr-lens mode-locked femtosecond laser. We demonstrate that the pulse separations and the number of pulses contained within a cavity round trip are strongly dependent on the initial perturbations. The results allow us to get a better understanding on the influences of the convoluted self-phase modulation and intra-cavity dispersions on the stable multi-pulse oscillation in a Kerr-lens mode-locked femtosecond laser.     

Propagation of Helmholtz-Gauss beams in weak turbulent atmosphere

Based on the Rytov approximation of light propagation in weak turbulent atmosphere,the closed-form expressions of field and average irradiance of each one of the four fundamental families of Helmholtz-Gauss (HzG)beams:cosine-Gauss beams,stationary Mathieu-Gauss beams,stationary parabolic-Gauss beams,and Bessel-Gauss beams,which are propagating in weak turbulent atmosphere,are obtained.The results show that the field and average irradiance can be written as the product of four factors:complex amplitude depending on the z-coordinate only,a Ganssian beam.a factor of complex phase perturbation induced by atmospheric turbulence,and a complex scaled version of the transverse shape of the non-diffracting beam.The effect of weak atmospheric turbulence on irradiance distribution of the HzG beam can be ignored.     

An effective method for reducing speckle noise in digital holography

An effective method for reducing the speckle noise in digital holography is proposed in this paper.Different from the methods based on classical filtering technique,it utilizes the multiple holograms which are generated by rotating the illuminating light continuously.The intensity images reconstructed by a series of holograms generated by rotating the illuminating light possess different speckle patterns.Hence by properly averaging the reconstructed intensity fields,the speckle noises can be reduced greatly.Experimental results show that the proposed method is simple and effective to reduce speckle noise in digital holography.     

Influence of purity of HfO2 on reflectance of ultraviolet multilayer

The impurities in two kinds of HfO2 materials and in their corresponding single layer thin films were determined through glow discharge mass spectrum technology and secondary ion mass spectrometry(SIMS) equipment respectively.It was found that ZrO2 was the main impurity in the two kinds of HfO2 either in the original HfO2 materials or in the electron beam deposited films.In addition,the difference of Zr content in the two kinds of HfO2 single laver films was much laxger than that of the other impurities such as Ti and Fe.which showed that it was just ZrO2 that made the difference between the optical performance of the film products including the two kinds of HfO2.With these two kinds of HfO2 and the same kind of SiO2.we deposited HfO2/SiO2 multilayer reflective coatings at the wavelength of 266 nm.Experimental results showed that the reflectances of these two mirrors were about 99.85% and 99.15% respectively,which agreed well with the designed results what were based on the optical constants obtained from the corresponding single layer thin films.     

Speech enhancement by array crosstalk resistant ANC and spectrum subtraction

Microphone array-based speech enhancement has great importance for speech communications and speech recognition. To reduce the aperture of the microphone array and to increase the effect of the speech enhancement will greatly broaden the application areas of the microphone array. An array crosstalk resistant adaptive noise cancellation method is therefore presented. And then an improved spectral subtraction algorithm is further cascaded to obtain better enhancement results. Theoretic analysis and experiments indicate that the proposed scheme needs only a very small microphone array while it simultaneously achieves a higher SNR improvement. Besides, the proposed scheme can be used in many noisy environments and is easy for real-time implementation.
