石英晶体右旋光与左旋光折射率差的温度特性

利用Jones矩阵,从理论上分析了石英晶体的旋光特性。在-10～60℃的温度范围内,实验测试了石英晶体的旋光角随温度的变化关系,并得出了石英晶体右旋圆偏振光与左旋圆偏振光折射率差随温度的变化关系。结果表明,对单色光来说,石英晶体右旋光与左旋光折射率差随温度的升高而增加,也就是说,石英晶体的旋光率随温度变化的这一特性是由晶体的右旋圆偏振光与左旋圆偏振光的折射率差随温度的变化引起的。

Polarization effects at two-beam interaction on reflection holographic gratings in sillenite crystals

The polarization structure of the signal wave that interacts with a circularly polarized pump wave on the reflection holographic gratings in the (112)-, (111)-, and (110)-cut Bi₁₂TiO₂₀ (BTO) crystals is experimentally and theoretically analyzed. An analytical expression for the vector field of the signal wave that is valid for an arbitrary orientation of the cubic refractive crystal is derived using approximation of the nondepleting circularly polarized pump wave. The contribution of the absorption component of the reflection hologram into the counter interaction is estimated for the crystals under study using the approximation of the experimental data with theoretical curves. Based on the experiments with incoherent quasi-monochromatic radiation, it is demonstrated that the real BTO crystals exhibit weak induced linear birefringence.     

非阿贝尔腔量子电动力学模型下偏振光场的影响

通过使用场正交算符,而不是传统的玻色算符,研究了非阿贝尔腔量子电动力学(QED)模型中原子和偏振光场的相互作用。讨论了初始双模偏振光场对于原子布居数反转以及偏振光场的压缩特性的影响。结果表明,原子布居数反转的演化不仅与偏振椭圆的相位角有关,也与偏振椭圆的椭率角有关;只有当偏振椭圆是右旋圆偏振光时,原子布居数反转随时间的演化基本不变,趋近于初始值0,而当偏振椭圆是左旋圆偏振光时,原子布居数反转随时间的演化呈现周期性的崩塌复苏变化。另外,当初始光场是左旋圆偏振光时,光场可以出现周期性的压缩;而当初始光场是右旋圆偏振光时,光场的压缩不会持续出现。

Time-resolved backscattering of circularly and linearly polarized light in a turbid medium

Time-resolved backscattering profiles of circularly and linearly polarized light were measured from a turbid medium composed of small and large polystyrene sphere particles in water. It is shown that, based on the measurements of the time-resolved backscattered copolarized and cross-polarized components of the incident polarized light, either linearly or circularly polarized light can be used to effectively image an object that is deep inside a turbid medium composed of small particles, depending on the depolarization properties of the object itself. For large particles such as in tissue, fog, and clouds, the experimentally observed polarization memory effect on the backscattering temporal profiles suggests that a significant improvement in the image contrast can be achieved by use of circularly polarized light.

在理想条件下,为了研究等离子体参数、填充率、入射角度和介质层相对介电常数对一维三元磁化等离子体光子晶体的禁带特性的影响,用由传输矩阵法计算得到的TE波任意角度入射时的左旋极化波(LCP)和右旋极化波(RCP)的透射系数来研究其禁带特性。结果表明,仅增加等离子体碰撞频率不能实现禁带宽度的拓展,改变等离子体频率、填充率和介质层的相对介电常数能实现对禁带宽度和数目的调谐。改变等离子体回旋频率能实现对右旋极化波的禁带的调谐,但对左旋极化波的禁带几乎无影响。入射角度的增大使得禁带低频区域带宽变大,而高频区域带宽则是将先减小再增大。

Comparison of polarized-light propagation in biological tissue and phantoms

We demonstrate significant differences in the propagation of polarized light through biological tissue compared with two common tissue phantoms. Depolarization of linearly and circularly polarized light was measured versus propagation distance by use of two independent measurement techniques. The measurements were performed on adipose and myocardial tissues and on tissue phantoms that consisted of polystyrene microsphere suspensions and Intralipid. The results indicate that, in contrast with results obtained in tissue phantoms, linearly polarized light survives through longer propagation distances than circularly polarized light in biological tissue.     

Circularly polarized localized near-field radiation at the nanoscale

Diffraction-limited circularly polarized electromagnetic radiation has been widely used in the literature for various applications at both optical and microwave frequencies. With advances in nanotechnology, emerging plasmonic nano-optical applications, such as all-optical magnetic recording, require circularly polarized electromagnetic radiation beyond the diffraction limit. In this study, a plasmonic cross-dipole nano-antenna is investigated to obtain a circularly polarized near-field optical spot with a size smaller than the diffraction limit of light. A cross-dipole nano-antenna is composed of four metallic nano-rods placed at a perpendicular orientation with respect to each other. The performance of the nano-antenna is investigated through numerical simulations. In the first part of this study, the nano-antenna is illuminated with a diffraction-limited circularly polarized radiation. An optimal antenna geometry is specified to obtain an intense optical spot that satisfies two necessary conditions for circular polarization: a phase difference of 90° and a unit amplitude ratio between the electric field components in the vicinity of the antenna gap. In the second part of this study, the nano-antenna is illuminated with diffraction-limited linearly polarized radiation. It is shown that the phase difference between the electric field components can be adjusted by selecting either different antenna lengths or different gap distances in the vertical and horizontal directions. Due to the relatively short wavelength of surface plasma waves on the antenna, it is demonstrated that the phase difference can be sufficient to obtain circularly polarized light. An optimal physical configuration for the nano-antenna and the polarization angle of the incident light is identified to obtain a circularly polarized optical spot beyond the diffraction limit from diffraction-limited linearly polarized radiation.     

椭球粒子烟雾浓度对激光偏振度影响的实验研究

以斯托克斯矢量理论为基础,通过搭建偏振传输半实物模拟装置进行模拟实验,观测激光在模拟环境(不同浓度的椭球粒子在非均匀分布状态)下偏振度(degree of polarization, DOP)的变化。实验选取灵芝孢子碳化粉末作为椭球粒子的实验对象,通过烟雾机将椭球粒子形成不同浓度的烟雾,研究入射波长为532 nm、671 nm的激光在0°、+45°、90°的线偏振光以及左旋圆偏振光经过模拟环境后偏振度(DOP)的变化情况。实验结果表明:入射偏振光随着烟雾浓度的增大,偏振度呈下降趋势;3种入射线偏振光随浓度增大降幅不尽相同,没有明显的规律可循;不同波长低浓度烟雾时,线偏振光与圆偏振光的偏振度下降幅度大抵相同,大约为3%左右;随着烟雾浓度的增大,线偏振光的偏振度表现出不同程度的下降,可达20%,圆偏振光的偏振度仅下降5%,表现出了较好的保偏能力。     

Study on the rewritability of bisazobenzene-containing films in optical storage based on two-photon process

In this paper, we use a two-photon technique to record data points on bisazobenzene-containing films. The recording data points are evidently polarization dependent. It is found that the recording data points can be erased by the linearly polarized light whose polarization direction is perpendicular to that of the recording beam and then, in the same region, new data can be rewritten after erasing. In addition, the recorded data can also be erased completely by the circularly polarized light. Compared with linearly polarized beam, the circularly polarized light is a better choice for erasure as no main orientation is regained after erasing rather than reorientation.

Polarization-based range-gated imaging in birefringent medium:Effect of size parameter

We have investigated the effect of size parameter of the scatterer on the image quality obtained with polarization-based range-gated imaging in birefringent turbid medium. Both linearly and circularly polarized light were utilized for imaging.The simulated results indicate that the improvement of visibility is more pronounced using circularly polarized light for the birefringent medium composed of smaller-sized scatterers at lower values of optical thickness and the birefringent medium comprising larger-sized scatterers. In contrast, linearly polarized light provides better image quality for the birefringent medium composed of smaller-sized scatterers at larger values of optical thickness. The evolution of the polarization characteristics of backscattered light and target light under the conditions mentioned above was measured to account for these numerical results.     

Polarization conversions of diffractive wave plates based on orthogonal circular-polarization holography

A polarization holographic grating, which integrates the functions of a grating and a wave plate and is called a diffractive wave plate, is recorded by two beams(left and right circularly polarized) of a 532 nm laser in an azo polymer with a liquid-crystal structure. The polarization conversion characteristics of the diffractive wave plates are investigated with a detecting light of 650 nm by metering the polarization state of first-order diffracted light.It is confirmed that the diffractive wave plates convert the incident linear polarization into circular polarization for a linearly polarized probe laser and reverse the sense of rotation of the circular polarization when the detecting light is circularly polarized light.
