部分相干光学成像系统的光学传递函数和像质评价准则

根据光学成像理论，建立了部分相干成像光学系统的光学传递函数。该函数与非相干成像光学系统传递函数相同，因而部分相干成像和非相干成像两者的光学系统波面像差公差标准也是相同的。这一点解释了显微镜光学系统的光学设计惯用法则：镜头像差公差标准的选择，并不因为采用成像照明方式的不同而有所差异。     

Numerical propagation of partially coherent laser beams through optical systems

The propagation of partially coherent beams through optical systems is computed numerically in one transverse dimension. The optical system is divided into different elementary segments, through which the propagation of light can be calculated by appropriate operators, working on the coherence function or the Wigner distribution function respectively. For the necessary changes between these two functions describing the partially coherent beams, the use of the remarkable z-transform seems to be an advantage. With this algorithm the grid and the resolution in the spatial frequency domain can be arbitrarily chosen in contrast to the usual Fourier transform, the influence of phase aberrations on the focusability of Gauss-Schell model beams is discussed as an application example of the numerical model. With the help of this tool, practical beam guiding systems can be simulated for use with multimode laser radiation.

Coherent control of thermalized luminescence in semiconductor quantum dots

A theoretical study of the time-integrated signal of thermalized luminescence excited by a pair of phase-locked light pulses shows that the idea of coherent control should be efficient for measuring the total dephasing rates of high-energy excitonic transitions. This approach can be used for studying both the homogeneously and inhomogeneously broadened systems, which is highly important in studies of the semiconductor quantum dots. It is found that the method of coherent control makes it possible not only to obtain information about the relaxation constants but also to make conclusions about the statistical properties of frequency distributions of the excitonic transitions responsible for broadening the optical spectra.     

像差对星间相干光通信接收系统误码性能的影响

以空间链路方程为基础,详细推导了具有不同像差时的星间相干光通信接收系统信噪比表达式。以通信距离为60000km、速率为2Gb/s的2PSK零差同步轨道接收系统为例,通过数值仿真,全面比较了接收天线的倾斜、离焦、彗差和像散等像差对接收系统误码率(εBER)的影响。结果表明,不同像差单独作用时,倾斜像差的影响最大,象散的影响最小;不同像差相互作用时,它们中的某些能部分实现相互校正,从而降低误码率。以εBER≤10-6为比较标准,当彗差W31/λ≤1.00时,调整倾斜像差能实现它们之间的部分校正;当像散W22/λ≤0.53时,调整离焦能对像散进行部分校正。因此,在设计接收系统时,接收天线的像差所产生的影响不容忽视。这将为设计星间相干通信接收系统提供必要的理论依据。     

Effects of third-order aberrations on the irradiance of self-image

We examine the effects of third-order aberrations exerted on the irradiance of image that is observable in a coherent self-imaging system. Both spherical aberration and astigmatism degrade the visibility of the image of a sinusoidal-type grating as well as blur the outline of the image of a rectangular-type grating. Coma laterally shifts the image of a sinusoidal-type grating on the image plane as well as changes a rectangular-type pattern into an asymmetrically blurred pattern. According to our analysis, the self-image of a high-density grating with a period of two times the optical wavelength is not at all affected by spherical aberration. In general a self-imaging system can always be corrected for astigmatism by shifting the image plane in its normal direction. We show that the self-image with defect can be well explained by taking the third-order aberrations and the focus-shift aberration into consideration.     

像差对星敏感器星点定位精度的影响

光学系统星点定位精度是表征星敏感器性能的一个重要指标,像差对该精度有一定影响。分析光学系统像差对星点定位精度的影响,在计算典型中等精度星敏感器光学系统星点定位误差的基础上,提出用实际测得的星点光斑能量质心位置计算理想位置的误差补偿新方法。计算结果表明:像差对高精度(如角秒级)星敏感器姿态测量精度的影响不可忽略;采用星点定位误差补偿后,星敏感器三轴姿态测量误差RMS值分别为0.38″,0.38″,5.77″,仅为原来的1/17。     

基于镜像焦面检测对准标记的套刻性能原位测量技术

套刻性能是现代高精度步进扫描投影光刻机的重要性能指标之一。提出了一种基于镜像焦面检测对准标记(简称“镜像焦面检测对准标记”)的光刻机套刻性能原位测量技术。该技术通过对曝光在硅片上的镜像焦面检测对准标记图形进行光学对准,利用标记图形对准位置与理想位置偏差实现套刻性能的原位检测。实验结果表明该技术在进行套刻误差的精确测量的同时还可以全面、定量地计算影响光刻机单机套刻误差的场内参量及场间参量。与目前套刻性能原位测量技术相比,该技术有效地避免了测量精度对轴向像质限制的依赖,简化了光刻机整机性能检测的过程。     

同轴柱面光学系统的象差

本文首先由柱面系统中描写光线所须的参数和对称性,确定了同轴柱面系统的独立象差数是八个,而对无限远物体而言则只有六个。而后由矢量代数方法证明空间光线在柱面系统中的折射光路与发生折射率改变后的子午截面内光路全同,由此得出柱面系统有别于球面系统的二种象差与色差相当。从而导出了校正柱面象差的条件并对柱面望远镜象差作了估值。结果表明,校正柱象差一般而言是很困难的,另一方面虽不加以校正影响也不算严重。最后讨论了柱面望远镜的高斯光学,结果表明,望远镜使一方向余弦按定比例缩小,而另一方向余弦不变时,它所成出的直线的象是弯曲的。     

Ray aberrations of two-dimensional oblique lattices on the self-image plane

We extend the geometrical theory of aberration for a self-imaging system to the case of two-dimensional oblique lattices. In our approach, the fundamental translation vectors of the lattice are not restricted in both length and orientation. Evaluating the disturbance of light through the oblique lattice under coherent illumination, we find the conditions of constraint which limit the self-imaging of the oblique lattice. Various types of oblique lattices are shown to obey the self-imaging conditions. We derive the equations to trace the optical paths of self-imaging rays and then analyze the ray aberrations which arise from the difference between the optical paths of a self-imaging ray and of the corresponding actual ray. The ray aberrations are shown to disappear when the periods of the lattice are large compared with the wavelength of light. We find that the ray aberrations carried by self-imaged oblique lattices are totally undercorrected and the aberrated image patches are displaced along the direction tangent vector of a chief ray.     

Transformation of the polarization structure of laser radiation in optical systems

A range of questions regarding the calculation of the spatial polarization structure of laser radiation in optical systems is considered. It is shown that polarization aberrations in such systems lead to a distortion of the initial polarization structure. Requirements for an optical system intended for the transmission of the polarization structure of laser radiation and methods for the compensation of polarization aberrations are discussed.     

Aberration invariant optical/digital incoherent systems

We have developed a fundamental technique for control of important known and unknown lens aberrations. Control of lens aberrations through traditional means is very difficult in high-performance optical systems. Minimizing aberrations caused by deterministic design errors as well as statistical fabrication errors has often led to costly systems and fabrication techniques. By employing a special-purpose optical phase mask and digital signal processing we can form imaging systems that are invariant, or substantially insensitive, to a number of important lens aberrations.     

Hartmann phase pick-up method for detection and correction of piston aberrations in a multi-beam coherent combination system

In multi-beam coherent combination laser systems, piston aberration between each sub-beam is often regarded as the dominative factor to deteriorate the combination performance. So as to obtain a favorable combination result, a Hartmann phase pick-up method in combination with a seven-element active segmented mirror is presented to pick up and correct the piston aberrations of a seven-beam coherent combination system. A simulative result indicates that the RMS value of the wavefront can be reduced from 401 nm to 3.7 nm, while the far-field Strehl ratio can be increased from 0.22 to 0.99 after correction.     

基于反向旋转位相板的共形光学系统设计

在共形光学系统中,椭球形整流罩打破了球形整流罩的旋转对称性,引入了随目标视场变化而变化的动态像差。共形光学设计的主要任务就是消除或者减小椭球形整流罩引入的动态像差,使共形光学系统的成像质量满足使用要求。设计了基于反向旋转位相板的共形光学系统,利用一对反向旋转位相板的反向旋转对目标视场进行动态扫描,利用固定校正器、衍射元件和泽尼克位相板校正了椭球形整流罩引入的动态像差。成像系统采用二次成像的透射式结构,实现了冷光阑效率100%。结果表明:该方法不仅有别于传统扫描方式,而且有效地消除了大长径比的共形光学系统的动态像差。

Aberrations in fractional-Talbot images of periodic binary gratings

We discuss the ray-optical aberrations which appear in the fractional-Talbot image of a periodic binary grating with coherent illumination. First we examine the complex amplitude of an aberration-free imaging field at a fractional-Talbot plane. We then trace the path of a diffracted ray of specific order which contributes to the fractional-Talbot imaging. Next we formulate the focus-shift and third-order aberrations which arise from a focusing error and a fourth-order approximation of the path length, respectively. We then evaluate the amplitude and phase of an aberrated imaging field that are represented in terms of aberration functions. When the grating period decreases to approach the optical wavelength, the aberrations of lower-order rays are shown to be more influential on the fractional-Talbot imaging field than those of higher-order rays. The theory of aberration discussed here could be very useful in evaluating the fractional-Talbot image of a periodic binary grating.     

The aberration theory of a combined electron focusing–deflection system with a rotating deflection field following the rotation of the electrons

A new type of combined magnetic focusing–electrostatic deflection systems whose orientation of deflection field is rotated synchronously with the beam electrons is proposed. This rotation deflection field can be formed by twistification of tube wall electrode (TWE) deflectors. Formulae are derived for the first-order optical properties, third-order geometrical aberrations and first-order chromatic aberrations of this system. A program was written in FORTRAN for numerical computation. An example is given; the computation results show that compared to the conventional systems, the proposed new system has lower deflection aberration coefficients.
