在分光计上,观察并测试了不同光栅常数的光栅在汞光源下的光谱,探究光栅的分辨能力与光栅常数之间的关系。实验结果表明,在光栅有效使用宽度一定的情况下,随着光栅常数的减小,光栅的色分辨本领R和角色散率D都大幅提高,光栅的分辨能力提高。因此,在技术许可的条件下,减少光栅常数d是提高光栅色分辨本领的有效措施,这对光栅的制作和选用以及相关领域的发展具有较好的指导作用。

刻线误差与面型误差对平面光栅光谱性能影响的二维快速傅里叶变换分析方法

光栅刻线误差与基底面型误差影响平面光栅衍射波前、分辨本领、鬼线、卫线及杂散光等光谱性能,研究光栅性能指标与光栅刻线误差及基底加工误差之间的因果关系,对提高光栅质量极为重要。根据光栅衍射中产生的源于刻线误差与面型误差的光程差,推导出了在光栅锥面衍射情况下的光栅刻线误差、基底面型误差、入射角θ、衍射级次m与衍射波前关系的数学表达式,得到构建非理想光栅衍射波前的理论模型。以理论模型为依据,采用干涉仪测量光栅对称级次衍射波前,实现在测量结果中对光栅刻线误差与基底面型误差的分离,并基于二维快速傅里叶变换分析光栅衍射波前,考察了刻线误差与面型误差对光栅性能指标的影响。借助此方法通过重构的光栅衍射波前,分析光栅分辨本领、鬼线等光谱性能,还可以反演光栅全表面刻线误差与面型误差的大小,为光栅基底加工、光栅制造和使用技术提供理论依据。

基于体全息光栅的光学相控阵放大级设计

为了扩展光学相控阵的角度扫描范围,设计了基于体全息光栅的放大级,研究了光栅结构参数及其制作误差对性能的影响规律,提出了容差优化方法。研究结果表明:光栅厚度和折射率调制度是影响衍射效率的主要参数,光栅周期和光栅厚度是影响角度选择性的主要参数。光栅出入射角由光栅周期和光栅矢量倾斜角决定,在保持角放大率不变时,可以通过在出入射面内旋转介质调节这两个参数。实际制作中,光栅周期误差和光栅矢量倾斜角误差会导致衍射角偏离设计值,读出光波长越长,光栅周期误差的影响越小;光栅后面介质折射率越高,光栅矢量倾斜角误差影响越小。增加光栅厚度设计值可以减小光栅厚度误差对衍射效率的影响,而减小光栅厚度设计值可以减小折射率调制度误差对衍射效率的影响,实际制备时,需结合系统需求进行综合设计。

一个空间滤波的新实验——利用编码光栅实时获得正负象

在大学的光学信息处理实验中,利用光栅对图象进行调制(又称编码)的技术已用得相当普遍,因而学生对光栅编码的概念比较熟悉。但对编码光栅的概念则比较生疏。这里,我们首先对编码光栅这一新概念做一些解释。所谓编码光栅就是光栅参量经过编码的光栅。更具体地说就是将编码技术应用于光栅,根据要求,对光栅的振幅、位相等诸参量进行空间编码,所编码好的光栅,便称作编码光栅。比如,我们可以根据空间位置对光栅的振幅、位相、空间频率和取向进行编码,也可以对矩形光栅的亮条和暗条的宽度进行空间编码,还可以用不同的颜色对     

全息波导显示构型设计(英文)

针对全息波导显示系统中输入光栅、转折光栅和输出光栅的光栅参量不一致,导致系统设计和光栅制作难度增大的问题.对比正常配置和锥形配置下的光栅方程,可得全息波导显示系统中全息光栅具有相同周期需要满足转向光栅60°锥形配置.由此提出波导侧面装有反射镜的三光栅单波导板显示构型,其中三个光栅周期完全相同,输入光栅和转向光栅条纹走向一致.使用光学设计软件CODE V对该构型进行仿真,验证了该构型的可行性.与传统全息波导显示构型相比,侧面反射镜的光路折叠作用使得该构型系统无效显示面积和耦合效率损失减小;三个光栅周期相同且输入光栅和转向光栅条纹走向一致,可以降低系统设计和全息光栅制作难度.该构型可以用于虚拟现实显示或者头戴式显示.     

光栅平动式光调制器结构参量的优化分析

提出的光栅平动式光调制器是一种基于微机电系统(MEMS)工艺的光调制器,利用其表面具有的变形部分(可动光栅)提供衍射光栅,通过控制可动光栅的位移实现光调制器的两种工作状态,即亮态和暗态。根据衍射理论和傅里叶光学对光栅平动式光调制器工作状态的光学特性进行了详细的理论分析和仿真。重点讨论了可动光栅占空比、长度L1、垂直光栅周期方向上边框长度、光栅栅条宽度、整个器件的光栅周期数等对光调制器工作性能的影响。结果表明,可动光栅与反射镜的距离为入射波长的一半时,调制器工作在暗态;而当可动光栅向反射镜方向下移入射波长的1/4时,光调制器工作在亮态;要达到最佳的衬比度,需满足可动光栅的栅条宽度为光栅周期的一半,L1应该为光栅周期的整数倍;在不满足L1为光栅周期d的整数倍时,可动光栅在垂直于光栅周期方向上的边框越小越好;光栅栅条越宽、光栅周期数越多,衬比度越高。     

Estimation of the Refractive Index Change in Glass Induced by Femtosecond Laser Pulses

It is known that local refractive index change occurs when femtosecond laser pulses with extremely high peak power are launched into glass. We focused 130-femtosecond laser pulses of 800 nm into the bulk of glass and examined the shape of the induced refractive index change. We found that the length of the spot of the refractive index change along the optical axis reached about 30 μm despite the diameter being about 2 μm. To estimate the distribution of induced refractive index change, we fabricated Bragg grating by scanning the focused spot and calculated the amount of the change by applying Kogelnik’s coupled mode theory to the measured diffraction efficiencies of the higher order diffracted beams.

Near Field Observation of a Refractive Index Grating and a Topographical Grating by an Optically-Trapped Gold Particle

We observed the near field for a refractive index grating fabricated on a planar light waveguide circuit (PLC) by scanning an optically-trapped 100 nm diameter gold particle. We demonstrate that stable trapping and scanning occur with a Gaussian laser beam at the scan velocity of 1.6 m/s and Nd:YAG laser power of 25mW. The scattered Ar laser light from the gold particle is strong at high refractive indexes of the grating with periods of 1.06 m and 0.53 m both by s and p polarized illumination. In addition, we observed the surface profile of the optical disk tracking groove with and without the gold particle. © 2004 The Optical Society of Japan     

Airy beam laser

A method to design lasers that emit an arbitrary beam profile is studied. In these lasers, output-coupling is performed by a diffraction grating that imposes a phase and amplitude distribution onto the diffracted light. A solid-state laser emitting beams with a two-dimensional Airy intensity profile is demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally. In this case, the diffraction grating adds a transverse cubic phase to the diffracted light. An Airy beam is obtained by performing optical Fourier transform of the out-coupled light. The laser beam profile and power characteristics are shown to agree with theory.     

High-efficiency 1.5 microm thick optical axis grating and its use for laser beam combining

We demonstrate an optical axis grating (OAG) recorded in a nematic liquid crystal that yields a higher than 80% diffraction efficiency and over 800:1 switching contrast between diffraction orders for a laser beam of a red wavelength in a material layer only 1.5 microm thick. The grating was used for combining two laser beams with high efficiency. These observations prove the feasibility of new generation high-efficiency diffractive optical components, which are most promising for infrared and high-power applications owing to their enhanced transparency and reduced thermal effects in thin material layers.

All-reflective Michelson, Sagnac, and Fabry-Perot interferometers based on grating beam splitters

All-reflective Michelson, Sagnac, and Fabry-Perot interferometers based on grating beam splitters are experimentally demonstrated at a wavelength of 1064 nm. A 1200-groove/mm grating diffracting 0 and -1 orders with an efficiency of 48.2% for each order was used as a near-50/50 beam splitter. The all-reflective Sagnac and Michelson interferometers were formed by reintroducing both of the diffracted beams back to the grating. The Fabry-Perot interferometer was formed in a Littrow configuration by using a 1700-groove/mm grating with a blazing efficiency of 91% as a cavity coupler. These interferometers encompass all the fundamental configurations of all-reflective laser interferometric gravitational-wave detectors, promising improved wave-front quality by avoiding volume thermal effects in transmissive optics under high-power laser illumination.     

Spatial structure of a focused X‐ray beam diffracted from crystals

The spatial structure of a beam focused by a planar refractive lens and Bragg diffracted from perfect silicon crystals was experimentally studied at the focal plane using a knife‐edge scan and a high‐resolution CCD camera. The use of refractive lenses allowed for a detailed comparison with theory. It was shown that diffraction leads to broadening of the focused beam owing to the extinction effect and, for a sufficiently thin crystal, to the appearance of a second peak owing to reflection from the back surface. It was found that the spatial structure of the diffracted beam depends on whether the crystal diffracts strongly (dynamically) or weakly (kinematically). The results help to understand the physical origin of the diffracted intensity recorded in a typical microbeam diffraction experiment.     

Spectral hole burning for pulse repetition frequency analysis

We demonstrate an optical processor based on spectral hole burning (SHB) that maps the carrier frequency into the time domain and the pulse repetition frequency (PRF) into the spatial domain by illuminating an SHB crystal with a signal beam that is scanned by a tilting mirror across a slice of the crystal. This time-to-space mapping makes it possible to measure signal envelopes with a resolution of . A signal with a pulsed envelope engraves a vertical absorption grating with a spatial periodicity given by the product of the PRF and the scan velocity. Reading the grating, which the crystal stores for up to T₁, with a collimated beam yields orders diffracted at angles proportional to the PRF, which are Fourier-transformed to produce spots displaced from the DC position by distances proportional to the PRF. Increasing the PRF increases the grating periodicity, causing the diffracted spots to move away from the DC position.     

Photoacoustic detection of microcracks induced in BK7 glass by focused laser pulses

An experimental investigation on the induced damage by accumulative pulses generated by a Nd:YAG laser beam focused into the bulk of the BK7 glass is reported in this work. The laser was operated at the single-pulse damage energy threshold of the sample. The optical detonation generates a shock wave emission and microcrack formation. The induced photoacoustic wave emerging from the sample was monitored by piezoelectric detection. These signals provide a simple, reliable and highly sensitive indication of damage, processes involved, and the most appropriate laser parameters for two- and three-dimensional engraving.
