A performance study of a logical gate using PPM optical pulse modulation for TDM systems

In this paper we propose the operation of an all-optical logical gate based in an acousto optical tunable filter (AOTF) operating with a pulse position modulation (PPM). The performance of an AOTF realizing two-input AND/OR logical functions, which can be applied in transmission and processing of signals in all-optical form in TDM systems, was examined. This novel integrated acousto optical logical gate operates with two ultrashort soliton light pulses (2 ps), which are modulated in agreement with the technique of pulse position modulation (PPM). Initially, we evaluated the effect resulting of an increment in the acousto optical interaction length, for the temporal position of the output pulse, considering the anomalous group velocity dispersion (GVD), nonlinear self phase modulation (SPM) and without loss propagation regime of TE and TM input pulses not modulated. We have analyzed the four possible situations for the two-input logical gate, modulating the TE and TM input pulses through temporal displacement and allowing a variation in the coding parameter offset (ε). We can conclude that is possible to get AND/OR logical operations for the modes TM or TE, without to insert PPM error, since a phase control (Δ?) exists (applied on the TM input pulse) in agreement with each situation in the truth table. Finally we defined the truth table, considering the adequate phase difference and coding parameter offset for the operation of the AND/OR logical gate based in the AOTF.

AOTF成像光谱仪光学系统的最优方案选择

基于声光可调谐滤波器（AOTF）的成像光谱仪是一种新型的成像光谱仪,它除了具有一般成像光谱仪的二维空间信息与一维光谱信息外,还能获得目标的偏振信息。在实际应用中AOTF可接收的光束孔径角一般不大于5～6,因而受到所采用声光晶体可接收角度的限制,AOTF光谱成像仪的光学系统不能同时兼顾大孔径与大视场。要求AOTF成像光谱仪视场满足128128像元,TeO2晶体尺寸为10 mm10 mm,根据声光可调谐滤波器成像光谱仪光学系统的特点,分析比较了2种光学系统总体方案,最终将系统的孔径光栏放置在晶体上,TeO2晶体尺寸限制了孔径光栏的尺寸,晶体可接收的角度决定了系统的视场角,提高了能量利用率,获得较高的图像信噪比。     

LCVR和AOTF的光谱偏振测量新策略

现有利用液晶相位可变延迟器(LCVR)和声光可调谐滤光器(AOTF)的偏振测量方法较为繁琐,故提出了一种光谱偏振测量新策略,去除了机械运动,并且相位延迟量的选取从四组减少为两组。采用两个LCVR和一个AOTF,通过两个相同型号探测器分别测量±1级衍射光,实现光谱偏振测量。电脑控制LCVR和AOTF的驱动系统分别实现所需相位延迟量和波长选择,通过扫描射频驱动整个频段得到被测光的光谱信息。叙述了方法的具体原理,分析了AOTF的偏振模型,通过理论计算LCVR和AOTF的Muller矩阵,推导出了相应的斯托克斯(Stokes)矢量中的I,Q,U的测量公式。分析并仿真了相位延迟量微小偏差对整个系统测量误差的影响,结果显示相位延迟量在±π/100范围内相对误差<3%。实验验证了测量系统的可行性和准确性,测量误差总体<6%。为偏振测量提供了一种简单可行且精度较高的新方法,具有重要的应用价值。

The Optical Characteristics of the Acousto-optic Tunable Filter with the Equivalent Point

In this paper, the interaction curves of acoustic and optical waves in a non-collinear AOTF (acousto-optic tunable filter) cell under the parallel-tangent momentum matching condition are analyzed systematically. A new theory of equivalent point for AOTF design is put forward. The wavelength characteristics and the wavelength resolution of two diffraction beams with equivalent point design in AOTF are emphatically analyzed. The optical characteristics at δ = 0 (ideal case) and δ≠0 (real case) are also discussed. The advantages of the AOTF with equivalent point design include high wavelength resolution, more quantitative energy and larger incident angle aperture.     

A new detection system for laser induced breakdown spectroscopy based on an acousto-optical tunable filter coupled to a photomultiplier: Application for manganese determination in steel

The development of a new detection system for laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), based on a collinear quartz acousto-optical tunable filter (AOTF) for the ultraviolet spectral region coupled to a photomultiplier, is described. It was used in conjunction with a 1064 nm, 5 ns pulse duration neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) laser source and also employed a radio-frequency signal generator to control the AOTF and a digital delay generator to delay the start of the detection in relation to the instant of the application of the laser pulse. The detection system was optimized for highest detectivity for the manganese peak at 293.9 nm while analyzing a steel sample by LIBS. The resulting signal to background ratio at the optimal conditions of 2 µs delay time, 40 µs integration time gate and 110 mJ pulse energy was similar to that of a commercial echelle-intensified charge-coupled device (echelle-ICCD) detection system. The new detection system was then employed for manganese determination in steel samples, taking the emission signals at just 15 wavelengths, 5 related to the above mentioned manganese peak, another 5 to background emission around 296.0 nm and the others to the iron peak at 297.3 nm (internal standard). The resulting analytical curve for manganese, obtained using 5 samples in the concentration range of 0.214 to 0.939% w/w, presented a correlation coefficient of 0.979 for an exponential regression function. The relative errors of predicting the manganese concentrations, using the calibration curve, for 2 samples, containing 0.277 and 0.608% w/w, were 20.7 and − 1.9%, respectively.
