Surface plasmon polariton assisted optical pulling force

We demonstrate both analytically and numerically the existence of optical pulling forces acting on particles located near plasmonic interfaces. Two main factors contribute to the appearance of this negative recoil force. The interference between the incident and reflected waves induces a rotating dipole with an asymmetric scattering pattern, while the directional excitation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) enhances the linear momentum of scattered light. The strongly asymmetric SPP excitation is determined by spin–orbit coupling of the rotating dipole and surface plasmon polariton. As a result of the total momentum conservation, the force acting on the particle points in a direction opposite to the incident wave propagation. We derive analytical expressions for the force acting on dipolar particles placed in the proximity of plasmonic surfaces. Analytical expressions for this pulling force are derived within the dipole approximation and are in excellent agreement with results of electromagnetic numerical calculations. The forces acting on larger particles are analyzed numerically, beyond the dipole approximation.

     

Active dielectric metasurface based on phase‐change medium

We propose all‐dielectric metasurfaces that can be actively re‐configured using the phase‐change material Ge₂Sb₂Te₅ (GST) alloy. With selectively controlled phase transitions on the composing GST elements, metasurfaces can be tailored to exhibit varied functionalities. Using phase‐change GST rod as the basic building block, we have modelled metamolecules with tunable optical response when phase change occurs on select constituent GST rods. Tunable gradient metasurfaces can be realized with variable supercell period consisting of different patterns of the GST rods in their amorphous and crystalline states. Simulation results indicate a range of functions can be delivered, including multilevel signal modulating, near‐field coupling of GST rods, and anomalous reflection angle controlling. This work opens up a new space in exploring active meta‐devices with broader applications that cannot be achieved in their passive counterparts with permanent properties once fabricated.

Long‐time behavior of a nonlinear viscoelastic beam equation with past history

A combined crossed molecular beam and quasiclassical trajectory study of the Titan-relevant N(2D) + D2O reaction

Following a recent investigation on the N(²D) + H₂O reaction [Homayoon et al., J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 5, 3508 (2014)], we report on an experimental and theoretical study of the isotopologue N(²D) + D₂O reaction. Crossed molecular beam (CMB) experiments were conducted at a collision energy of 10.3 kcal mol^–1. Quasiclassical trajectory calculations were performed on a recent potential energy surface to derive the centre-of-mass functions necessary to simulate the CMB laboratory distributions. Excellent agreement was found. The importance of the channel leading to HON/DON was confirmed. The inclusion of this channel, in addition to that leading to the isomer HNO/DNO, can affect the models considering the coupling between nitrogen and oxygen chemistry in the upper atmosphere of Titan.     

分时偏振成像系统中光束偏离的补偿方法研究

分时偏振成像系统需要通过旋转检偏器获取场景的偏振信息(I, Q, U), 检偏器的前后表面间不平行(也称为楔角)将导致成像光束发生偏离且随检偏器旋转而旋转, 这将降低偏振成像系统的空间分辨率和偏振测量精度. 本文提出调整检偏器相对于入射主光轴倾斜角的方法来补偿上述光束偏离. 以格兰棱镜作为检偏器, 根据几何光学理论, 推导了分时偏振成像系统光束偏离的一阶近似补偿模型, 获得倾斜角与格兰棱镜楔角之间的函数关系, 并通过仿真模拟验证了该补偿方法的可行性和有效性. 研究结果表明, 将格兰棱镜置于汇聚光路中, 光束偏离的一阶误差可以通过调节格兰棱镜的倾斜角有效补偿; 倾斜角大小与棱镜折射率、楔角及棱镜距电荷耦合元件靶面的距离成正比, 与棱镜厚度成反比. 该结果为研制高精度分时偏振成像系统提供了切实可行的理论依据.     

非均匀部分相干光束在自由空间中的传输

本文介绍了非均匀部分相干光束的概念, 并用数值模拟的方法详细研究了其在自由空间传输后的变化. 研究结果表明, 经过自由空间传输后非均匀部分相干光束会发生不同于传统相干模型光束的显著变化. 这种变化和光束传输距离、光源空间相干度分布、光源光强分布密切相关. 经过传输后, 源平面自相干附近点的空间相干度发生突变, 在短距离传输过程中源平面高相干区域的空间相干度会降低, 接收面各点的空间相干曲线不再相同, 随着传输距离增加, 非均匀空间相干度会逐渐趋于均匀.
