Diffraction method for recording optical wave fields

We propose a method for recording an optical wave field that is based on diffraction of the optical wave field by two screens that are complementary to each other. We show that the new method ensures the measurement of the phase of the wave field with a high accuracy and spatial resolution. An optical scheme for implementing the diffraction method and an algorithm for reconstructing the phase of the wave field from the measurement data are developed. We perform a computer simulation of the experiment on recording the optical wave field based on the method proposed.     

A scheme for recording a fast process at nanosecond scale by using digital holographic interferometry with continuous wave laser

A scheme for recording fast process at nanosecond scale by using digital holographic interferometry with continuous wave (CW) laser is described and demonstrated experimentally, which employs delayed-time fibers and angular multiplexing technique and can realize the variable temporal resolution at nanosecond scale and different measured depths of object field at certain temporal resolution. The actual delay-time is controlled by two delayed-time fibers with different lengths. The object field information in two different states can be simultaneously recorded in a composite hologram. This scheme is also suitable for recording fast process at picosecond scale, by using an electro-optic modulator.     

A new method of aperture synthetizing in digital holography

This paper proposes a new method of aperture synthetizing in digital holography based on the principle of holography.In the new method aperture synthetizing is achieved by reconstructing each sub-hologram respectively,firstly,moving each reconstructed wave field referred to the benchmark reconstructed wave field according to the relationship between spacial motion and frequency shift,and finally splicing them by using superposition.Two different recording ways,using plane wave to record and using spherical wave to record,are analyzed,and their moving formula is deduced,too.Simulation and experiment are done.The results show that in comparison with the traditional method of aperture synthetizing in digital holography,the new method can decrease calculation and save reconstructed time obviously which has better applicability.     

Wavelength-scanning digital interference holography for tomographic three-dimensional imaging by use of the angular spectrum method

A tomographic imaging system based on wavelength-scanning digital interference holography is developed by applying the angular spectrum method. Compared to the well-known Fresnel diffraction formula, which is subject to a minimum distance requirement in reconstruction, the angular spectrum method can reconstruct the wave field at any distance from the hologram plane. The new system allows three-dimensional tomographic images to be extracted with an improved signal-to-noise ratio, a more flexible scanning range, and an easier specimen size selection. Experiments are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

Interference effects in the theory of multiphoton laser-simulated bremsstrahlung for electron wave packets that are broad in their momentum representation

The interference peculiarities of absorption and emission of external laser field quanta by a spatially narrow electron wave packet during its scattering at a potential center are considered. The angular and energy distributions for an electron due to scattering in a laser field are obtained and analyzed within the framework of the perturbation theory based on interaction with the potential center. A new mechanism of effective heating of plasma produced in a cluster under the effect of intense external laser field is found. Drastic changes in angular distribution due to the interference of incident and scattered parts of an electron wave packet are revealed.     

Coherence Volume of an Optical Wave Field with Broad Frequency and Angular Spectra

We consider the sizes of a region in a three-dimensional space in which an optical wave field excites mutually coherent perturbations. We discuss the conditions under which the length of this region along the direction of propagation of the wave field and, correspondingly, its volume are determined either by the width of the frequency spectrum of the field or by the width of its angular spectrum, or by the parameters of these spectra simultaneously. We obtain expressions for estimating extremely small values of the coherence volume of the fields with a broad frequency spectrum and an extremely broad angular spectrum. Using the notion of instantaneous speckle-modulation of the wave field, we give a physical interpretation to the occurrence of a limited coherence volume of the field. The length of the spatiotemporal coherence region in which mutually coherent perturbations occur at different times is determined. The coherence volume of a wave field that illuminates an object in high-resolution microscopy with frequency broadband light is considered. The conditions for the dominant influence of the angular or frequency spectra on the longitudinal length of the coherence region are given, and the conditions for the influence of the frequency spectrum width on the transverse coherence of the wave field are examined. We show that, when using fields with broad and ultrabroad spectra in high-resolution microscopy, this influence should be taken into account.

Phase-shift extraction and wave-front reconstruction in phase-shifting interferometry with arbitrary phase steps

A new approach to reconstructing the object wave front in phase-shifting interferometry with arbitrary unknown phase steps is proposed. With this method the actual phase steps are first determined from measured intensities with an algorithm based on the statistic property of the object phase distribution in the recording plane. Then the original object field is calculated digitally with a derived formula. This method is simple, accurate, and capable of retrieving the original object field, including its amplitude and phase distributions simultaneously, with arbitrary and unequal phase steps in a three- or four-frame method. The effectiveness and correctness of this approach are verified by a series of computer simulations for both smooth and diffusing surfaces.     

Propagation of light inside shear flows: a remote sensing method to retrieve velocity fields

Inside a moving dielectric medium a wave perceives the matter as an effective gravitational field. The medium and its velocity field alter the way in which an electromagnetism field propagates. We propose an optical method for remote sensing of the velocity fields inside shear flows by angular scanning.
