Theory of Z-scan technique using Gaussian-Bessel beams with a phase object

This paper reports the theoretical study of combining Z-scan technique with Gauss-Bessel (GB) beams beside a phase object (PO) to measure the third-order nonlinear susceptibility components.By using this method,the sign of refractive index which depends on the shape of the close aperture Z-scan curve can be easily determined.Meanwhile,the magnitude of nonlinear coefficients can also be deduced by theoretical fit.The proposed method is advantageous for high sensitivity and imposes a lower stress in the cases of fragile materials,since small pulse energy is enough for the measurement of nonlinear coefficients.Predictions of the models are compared with Gaussian Z-scan measurement and GB Z-scan measurement.By using GB beams with a PO,the sensitivity of Z-scan measurements is found to be a factor of over 60 times greater than for Gaussian beams and 2 times greater than for Gaussian-Bessel beams.     

Analysis and demonstration of PID algorithm based on arranging the transient process for adaptive optics

The fastness and robustness of a control algorithm are highly important in the performance of adaptive optics systems. The proportional-integral-derivative control with arranging the transient process, which is designed using a tracking differentiator, is applied into an adaptive optics system. This control algorithm greatly improves the dynamic properties of the control system. To identify the underlying reasons for these improvements, the influence of the control algorithm is theoretically discussed. The control algorithm is verified by a simple adaptive optics system for tip/tilt correction. The experimental results demonstrate that the control algorithm is fast and robust.

自适应光学系统模式控制动态优化方法

像差校正模式项数是自适应光学系统模式控制算法中的一个重要参数,其大小对补偿效果影响明显。通过对系统响应函数矩阵的奇异值分解构建像差模式空间,以不同控制项数下残余像差的均方根估计为依据确定每次校正的模式项数,提出了一种模式项数动态优化的控制方法。以Hartmann-Shack波前传感器和薄膜变形镜为主要部件搭建自适应光学实验系统,通过拟合不同像差验证上述控制方法,实验结果表明,和固定项模式控制方法比较,动态优化方法校正的系统残余像差更低,可明显提高自适应光学系统的空间拟合性能。     

The theory and experiment of solute migration caused by excited state absorptions

Nonsymmetrical transition from reverse-saturable absorption (RSA) to saturable absorption (SA) caused by excited state absorption induced mass transport of the CuPcTs dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide is observed in an open aperture Z-scan experiment with a 21-ps laser pulse. The nonsymmetrical transition from RSA to SA is ascribed neither to saturation of excited state absorption nor to thermal induced mass transport, the so-called Soret effect. In our consideration, strong nonlinear absorption causes the rapid accumulation of the non-uniform kinetic energy of the solute molecules. The non-uniform kinetic field in turn causes the migration of the solute molecules. Additionally, an energy-gradient-induced mass transport theory is presented to interpret the experimental results, and the theoretical calculations are also taken to fit our experimental results.

Simple measurement of nonlinear refraction by using a single pulse and beam

A very simple technique, by which both the magnitude and the sign of nonlinear refraction can be determined through using only one single pulse and beam with a phase object, is presented. Using this technique, only the transmittance of an aperture in the far field is investigated. We study the nonlinear refraction of the carbon disulfide by using the presented technique with 21~ps pulses at a wavelength of 532~nm as a test.
