Quantitative spectrally resolved imaging through a spectrograph

A grating spectrograph can be used for spectrally selective two-dimensional imaging if it is operated with a broad entrance slit. The resulting intensity distribution in its exit plane is a one-dimensional convolution of the spatial and spectral distributions of incident light. We present a dedicated deconvolution filter to reconstruct the spatial image from the spectrograph output. The algorithm is illustrated on Raman imaging of an underexpanded dry air jet. Recorded Raman images correspond to density maps convolved with the Raman spectrum of air; the latter essentially acts as a blurring function for the density map. The deconvolution filter combines the individual images recorded in the O2 and N2 Raman bands into a single image of relative air density.

曲率半径误差对平场全息凹面光栅分辨率的影响及其补偿方法

在平场凹面全息光栅的没计制作中,不可避免的存在曲率半径误差,严重影响光栅光谱仪的分辨率.为了从理论上分析并指导光谱仪器的设计和装调,运用几何光线追迹方法计算并分析了不同曲率半径误差下光谱像宽度的变化规律,发现在一个较大的误差范围内子午焦线的位置随着曲率半径的变化前后平移,同时其弯曲程度几乎没有改变.数值计算发现通过调整像面位置或人臂长度均能够补偿曲率半径的误差.数值模拟结果显示,修正使用结构后的光栅能够达到与设计结果相近的成像质量.     

可获得高分辨率谱线信息的新型太阳极紫外成像仪

极紫外光谱观测和诊断是研究太阳大气基本物理过程的最重要手段之一。但因为波长短,很多可见光仪器的设计方案不再适用,且极紫外观测只能在太空中开展。国际上现有卫星上的太阳极紫外成像仪和光谱仪都有各自的不足,比如极紫外成像仪不能获得高光谱分辨率的谱线信息;狭缝式光谱仪通过扫描可得到活动区域的信息,但扫描时间过长,对于研究剧烈变化的太阳活动有很大的局限性。这些不足制约了对日冕物质抛射(CME)和耀斑等太阳活动的高精度观测及对其机理的研究：无法看到CME在内日冕的加速过程,而且无法将可见光看到的CME现象同极紫外看到的日面源区直接联系;缺少观测目标的视向速度信息,难以识别CME的触发过程。采用多级衍射成像方式的一种新型太阳极紫外成像仪,除实现传统极紫外成像仪功能外,还可以在太阳活动变化过程中同步获得全日面各区域的光谱信息。新型成像仪可以得到高光谱分辨率数据,用于反演低日冕的等离子体视向速度,获得全日面的速度分布,与同时得到的高空间分辨率图像相结合,可以识别太阳活动现象对应的物质运动, 为空间科学研究提供数据;因为没有狭缝和运动部件,可以实现对大视场的太阳活动区域的高时间分辨率成像,有利于捕捉日面活动的快速变化。新型成像仪采用无狭缝光谱分光成像的设计理念,即同一时间把一定光谱带宽的信息记录到一个二维的图像上,此过程可以看成是从某一个角度将空间和光谱数据立方体投影到一个面上,然后再利用反演得到空间分辨图像和光谱信息。多级光谱成像的光学设计与传统光谱仪最大的不同是其不存在逐行扫描的狭缝,这使得其能够同时获得大视场内太阳的空间信息和光谱信息。因为极紫外波段的特殊性,以及本仪器面向卫星遥感应用,不可能像可见光波段或者医用CT机一样实现很多衍射级的同时成像。因此,新型极紫外成像仪光学系统由反射镜、色散光栅和五个探测器组成,入射的太阳极紫外辐射经过光栅色散后分别由五个级次的探测器接收,其中四个探测器分部接收±1和±2衍射级图像,另外一个接收0级图像。空间信息可以直接从0级图像得到,而光谱信息则需要根据五个级次成像的反演结果得出。介绍了光学系统的设计以及反演算法,并分析了反演算法的误差。光路基于变间距光栅设计,可实现空间分辨率1.8 arcsec·pixel-1, 光谱分辨率7.8×10-3 nm·pixel-1,同时减小了体积和重量,适合空间应用。     

Fabrication of integrated waveguide grating in azo polymers

In this Letter, we have introduced a technique, new to our knowledge, to fabricate gratings on a waveguide of azo-functionalized polymeric films using a slit mask and a fast, direct-writing method. To prevent the destruction of the waveguide by the grating formation on the waveguide, we placed a slit mask on the waveguide. By properly adjusting the resonance, this grating can be used as an integrated wavelength filter. We have produced an attenuation of 13.4?dB at 1562?nm with a FWHM of 3.45?nm. The grating has been fabricated as narrow as the width of the waveguide to couple filtered light into the waveguide by using a slit mask. Any light shifted from the resonance will pass through the waveguide undisturbed.     

平场全息凹面光栅制作结构与使用结构之间误差补偿作用的数值模拟与实验验证

通过对优化计算出的平场全息凹面光栅制作结构(曝光记录结构)和使用结构(光谱仪分光结构)之间各个参数进行联合数值模拟,得出如下结论：在优化设计参数值附近一个较大范围的误差区域内,平场全息凹面光栅的制作结构参数误 差和使用结构参数误差可以相互补偿,最终补偿的结果可以使光谱成像质量达到与原设计结构相当的水平,满足光谱仪器的使用要求。文章给出了数值模拟结果以及与其相符的实验验证结果。此补偿作用有利于降低平场全息凹面光栅制作 中各个参数精度的调节难度,并且可以对实际使用过程中光谱仪器的设计和装调进行理论上的指导。     

宽谱高分辨平场凹面全息光栅光谱仪设计

为了获得宽谱、高分辨的平场凹面全息光栅,将全息凹面光栅理论、遗传算法、衍射级次空间共用和同时消像差思想融合在一起,提出设计宽谱、高分辨平场凹面全息光栅的方法,给出了实际设计步骤。通过Zemax软件光线追迹仿真具体实例,给出了200～800nm波段的点列图变化曲线[均方根(RMS)约为11μm],以10μm×1mm狭缝入射,其光照度光谱图显示光谱分辨率在200～400nm波段为0.25nm,在400～800nm波段为0.5nm。该方法可以用于设计小型化、实用化的宽谱和高分辨平场凹面全息光栅光谱仪光学系统。     

Adjustable plasmon resonances through an H-shaped metallic grating

We propose an H-shaped metallic grating and investigate its surface plasmon resonance properties. The result shows the formation process of the transmission spectra of the H-shaped grating by adjusting the depths of the arm cuts, and a band gap is formed on the region of short wavelength. It is also presented that the transmission of the H-shaped grating sensitively depends on the width and position of the arm slit, noticeable magnitude modification, redshift and blueshift, meld and split of the resonance peaks are found. In addition, the resonance peaks exhibit dips in the transmission spectrum when the two slit widths are different, and the dips are tunable by changing any one slit width for fixed another slit. To understand its physical origin, a field-interference mechanism, the Fabry–Pérot-like resonance theory and the phase resonance mechanism have been suggested, respectively. By selecting appropriate structural parameters, an H-shaped metallic grating for optical filter and channel selecting devices can be constructed.

光谱仪谱线和谱带弯曲现象的精确表述方式

在矢量衍射理论基础上给出了任意倾斜入射下的光栅方程一般形式以及衍射极角和衍射方位角的完整解析表达式,由此首次导出了平面光栅光谱仪谱线和谱带弯曲量的精确计算公式和对应于衍射极角和衍射方位角的两类角色散公式,比较了谱线弯曲精确公式和近似公式的计算结果,进而指出和弥补了近似公式的不足,并数值考察了入射狭缝高度对光谱仪色散能力的影响程度。由于在以上各式的推导过程中未作任何近似,且涉及到了导致谱线和谱带弯曲的所有可能因素,因而它要比以往所用近似公式更为全面和可靠,可作为实际光谱仪器设计、测试、装调和使用的理论依据。

Phase shifting grating-slit test utilizing a liquid crystal display

A quantified focal plane testing method, termed phase-shifting grating-slit test, is demonstrated by utilizing a micro liquid crystal display. In contrast to the setup in the Ronchi Test, an incoherent illuminating grating is used and an optical slit is located at the image plane of the tested lens to modulate the aberrated wavefront. With the micro liquid crystal display generating and phase shifting the incoherent illuminating grating with variable frequency, a higher measurement dynamic range can be achieved on demand.     

Dynamic spectral imaging with spectral zooming capability

We report a dynamic spectral imaging system with spectral band zooming and selection capability that can adapt to different application requirements and significantly reduce the size of the captured spectral image data cube. It employs a diffraction grating to disperse the spectral information of the captured image and uses a dynamic spatial filter at the Fourier plane to select the spectral channel and spectral bandwidth for each spectral image. With a limited fixed spectral channel number, it can provide both coarse and fine spectral image viewing and capture. A prototype spectral imaging system with such spectral band zooming and selection features has been constructed. Spectral zooming from 9 to 50 nm resolution has been demonstrated.

Temperature measurement of nonsteady arcs

The temporal change of the radial temperature profile of a free burning argon arc at power frequency and a flashover arc near the surface of a polluted plate is experimentally determined with the help of a spectroscopic system, the detail of which is described in this paper. The image of the arc is scanned by a rotating 30-facet mirror drum over the entrance slit of a grating spectrometer. The intensity of up to four spectral lines can be simultaneously measured. The temperature results for the argon arc are derived by employing the absolute intensity method and the relative intensity method. This preliminary experimental investigation shows that the system is capable of measuring and monitoring the temperature development of nonsteady arcs which may be randomly moving in a known space

Nested-ring Mach–Zehnder interferometer

We propose for the first time, a newly configured device based on nested-ring Mach-Zehnder interferometer structure (NRMZI). The device is capable of generating a box-shaped spectral response approaching an ideal filter due to the double-Fano resonances that arise from multiple interference within the nested-ring as well as that within the MZI. It may be considered as the integrated-optic analog of a reflection or diffraction grating, and as with grating, can be used efficiently as a filter, sensor, or switch at the appropriate operating wavelengths.     

All-fiber comb filter with tunable free spectral range

We demonstrate a new class of all-fiber frequency comb filter that exhibits unprecedented capabilities for tuning the comb's free spectral range (FSR). The filter exploits a spectral Talbot-like effect in a sampled chirped fiber Bragg grating. The FSR is tailored by application of a linear strain gradient to modify the relative phase between the samples. The FSR can be tuned in discrete steps that correspond to the nominal value of the FSR of the sampled unchirped grating divided by integer factors. In this demonstration the FSR is varied from 51 to 3.9 GHz.
