Rayleigh散射Doppler激光雷达风场反演方法改进

在Rayleigh散射Doppler激光雷达的风场反演过程中,除了温度、压强等因素之外,风速反演结果的 准确性还受到Mie散射信号的影响．当Mie散射信号较强时,尤其是遇到高层云或火山灰等情况,如果仍不考虑 气溶胶信号,由于温度不确定度和气溶胶信号的综合影响,风速反演结果将与真值偏差很大．本文提出了利用 激光雷达在垂直方向的测量信号同时反演后向散射比和大气温度的非线性迭代算法,并优化给出了最佳的 初始发射激光工作点．仿真试验结果表明:该方法可以准确有效地反演后向散射比;将该方法结合非线性迭代 风速反演方法,可以有效消除气溶胶后向散射信号的影响,进一步提高大气风速和温度的反演精度．

Aperture array Fabry-Perot interference filter

We demonstrate effective implementation of the Fabry-Perot interferometer with subwavelength aperture arrays on its two metal mirrors to achieve polarization-independent narrow band-pass filtering. By superimposing of aperture array fundamental resonance transmission with one of the Fabry-Perot interference peaks, the moderate filter insertion loss of −5 dB, narrow band-pass width of 15 μm, and efficient out-of-band rejection within the ∼0.1-3 THz range are reported. The Siemens-star-shaped apertures in arrays play an important role to achieve such polarization independence and small insertion loss.

Sinusoidal Phase-Modulating Superluminescent Diode Interferometer with Fabry-Perot Etalone for Step-Profile Measurement

In this paper we use a superluminescent diode (SLD) as the light source of an interferometer and extract a narrow spectrum from a wide spectrum of the SLD with a Fabry-Perot Etalone (FPE). By varying sinusoidally the distance between the two mirrors of FPE, the central wavelength of the narrow spectrum is scanned sinusoidally. The distance between the mirrors is exactly set by a feedback control system, and sinusoidal phase-modulated SLD light that has a large scanning width of about 10 nm can be obtained with high stability and spatial uniformity. The phase of the interference signal has two different components. One is amplitude Z_b of sinusoidal phase modulation, which is proportional to the optical path difference (OPD) and the scanning width. The other is conventional phase α, which provides a fractional value of the OPD in the range of the wavelength. By combining the two values of the OPD obtained from Z_b and α, an exact OPD larger than the wavelength can be measure with ment accuracy in α. Characteristics of the interferometer are made clearly through step-profile measurements.     

High-sensitivity laser-based ultrasonic C-scan system for materials inspection

A beam-steering C-scan system for laser generation and detection of ultrasound in opaque solids has been developed. For ultrasound detection, the system uses a confocal Fabry-Perot interferometer that is stabilized at its high-sensitivity point by implementing a novel procedure that does not require a reference beam. This stabilization procedure effectively compensates for slowly varying (up to 2 Hz) disturbances and, more important, for any change in the interferometer illumination conditions while probing different scanning points. For the latter reason, the proposed stabilization appears to be more effective than previous approaches for high-sensitivity ultrasound detection in beamsteering scans. Noise performance and sensitivity limit of the system are evaluated. Ultrasonic echoes are detected in aluminum samples having optically rough surfaces with single-pulse generation signal-to-noise ratios on the order of 20 dB. A C-scan inspection is performed where a known defect in the test piece is successfully detected by time-of-flight gating of the ultrasonic signals.
