Specific dynamics of faster-than-light (in the medium) extremely short optical pulses in an array of carbon nanotubes

Maxwell’s equations for an electromagnetic field propagating in an array of carbon nanotubes have been considered in the case when the velocity of the incident pulse is greater than the speed of light in the medium. The equation for the vector potential of the electromagnetic field has been derived and solved numerically. The dependence of the pulse on its velocity at the entrance to the array of carbon nanotubes has been revealed.     

Nonlinear propagation effects on broadband attenuation measurements and its implications for ultrasonic tissue characterization.

A study is presented in which the influence of the pressure amplitude of the incident pulse on the estimated frequency dependency of the attenuation coefficient is shown. First, the effect is demonstrated with a simple theoretical model for both transmission and reflection measurements. Simulations show that for both measurement techniques a high-amplitude incident pulse results in a biased estimate of the attenuation coefficient due to nonlinear interaction of the different frequency components of the incident pulse. It is shown that in transmission and reflection measurements the biases have opposite signs. The effect of bandwidth, central frequency, and phase of the incident pulse on this bias is investigated. Second, the effect is demonstrated both in vitro, using a broadband through-transmission substitution technique on a tissue mimicking gelatine phantom, and in vivo, using reflection measurements with standard clinical equipment. The experimental results agree well with the theoretical model. The relevance of this study for ultrasonic tissue characterization is shown.     

Waveform Distortions in Femtosecond Laser Pulses Transmitting through Coated Optical Fiber Probes

We calculate the light field in metal-coated optical fiber probes under illumination of femtosecond laser pulses with the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method. By choosing the maximum of the calculated light field data in the time period of one light wave cycle at each spatial point, we obtain the amplitude distributions instead of the conventional light field distribution of a time instant. It is found that with an incident plane wave pulse of y-polarization, the output amplitude distributions of y-polarization have roughly a circled-cross-like pattern with two arc-like zero-amplitude zones. By analyzing the y-polarized waveforms versus time at the points near the arc-like zero-amplitude zones, we find that waveform distortions appear at points in the neighborhood of the zero amplitude lines and in the time intervals when two wave-packets overlap.     

基于AOTF成像光谱精密测量技术的研究

声光可调滤波器(AOTF)作为光谱成像的一种新型分光元件,在运用其进行成像光谱时,一般选择入射光垂直于AOTF入射面时所对应的衍射中心波长为CCD的光谱测量波长。但在实际测量中,空间目标不同位置的光线总是以不同的角度进入到AOTF,这样就导致了CCD实际测量的光谱和以光垂直入射时所对应的光谱为测量光谱相比出现误差,影响了光谱的测量精度。采用的成像光谱系统的特点是目标光线经前置光学系统、AOTF和成像透镜后,聚焦成像于透镜的焦平面上,实现了目标光在整个系统的一次成像。此一次成像与传统的二次成像相比,能够有效的提高光能利用率和成像质量。由于AOTF的视场角为±3°,所以通过对AOTF视场角范围内衍射中心波长随入射角度变化的实际规律进行了分析研究,并对衍射波长随入射角度变化的实际测量值进行了拟合修正,得到了修正方程。实验结果表明用修正后的方程进行光谱测量,其相对误差值可以减小一个数量级。此方法可为今后提高AOTF成像光谱测量精度奠定基础。     

快速空间测角系统中偏振像差的分析与研究

快速空间测角系统需要在一定的平移范围内均能实现测量功能,这就要求光束在接收单元具有一定的覆盖面积.受器件尺寸所限,选择对入射光束进行扩束,然而非正入射光经过系统会产生偏振态变化,存在偏振像差,引起测量误差.本文通过采用偏振光线追迹的方法,结合电磁场的边界条件,对快速空间测角系统中一定方位及入射角范围内的光束通过偏振棱镜后出射光束的偏振态变化与分布进行了理论研究及仿真分析;并通过搭建实验平台,利用平移接收单元来模拟不同的入射方位及角度变化.根据实验值与仿真结果的对比分析,得出在方位角为0o时,测量误差较小,在方位角为90o时,测量误差最大,且随平移距离(即入射角)的增大,测角误差增大.验证了偏振像差的存在对系统测角带来的影响及理论分析的正确性,并提出了改进措施.所得研o究结果对优化系统结构并进一步提高系统性能具有一定的指导意义.

Femtosecond pulse shaping using a two-dimensional liquid-crystal spatial light modulator

We introduce a programmable, high-rate scanning femtosecond pulse shaper based on a two-dimensional liquid crystal on a silicon spatial light modulator (SLM). While horizontal resolution of 1920 addressable pixels provides superior fidelity for generating complex waveforms, scanning across the vertical dimension (1080 pixels) has been used to facilitate at least 3 orders of magnitude speed increase as compared with typical liquid-crystal SLM-based pulse shapers. An update rate in excess of 100 kHz is demonstrated.     

Approximations of open quotient and speed quotient from glottal airflow and egg waveforms : Effects of measurement criteria and sound pressure level

Noninvasive measures of vocal fold activity are useful for describingnormal and disordered voice production. Measures of open and speed quotient from glottal airflow and electroglottographic (EGG) waveforms have been used to describe timing events associated with vocal fold vibration. To date, there has been little consistency in the measurement criteria used to calculate quotient values. In this study, criteria of 20% and 50% were applied to the AC amplitude of glottal airflow and inverted EGG waveforms for measurement of open quotient. Criteria of 20%, 50%, and 80%, and a midslope criterion that segmented the waveform between 20% and 80% of the waveform amplitude, were used for the calculation of speed quotient. Subjects produced waveforms at sound pressure levels (SPL) of 70, 75, 80 and 85 dB. Results indicated that approximations of open quotient obtained from the glottal airflow waveform significantly decreased using both the 20% and 50% criteria as SPL increased from 80 to 85 dB. No significant changes were found in open quotient from the EGG waveform as a function of SPL. Results of speed quotient measures from the glottal airflow and EGG waveforms showed a generally increasing trend as SPL increased, although the differences were not statistically significant. The data suggest that the signal type, measurement criterion and SPL must be considered in interpreting quotient measures.     

Non-contact sound speed measurement by optical probing of beam deflection due to sound wave

We report a non-contact and non-invasive method of sound speed measurement by optical probing of deflected laser beam due to normally incident degenerated shock wave. In this study the shock wave from an exploding wire was degenerated to an ordinary sound wave at the distance exceeding 0.23 m. Temporal resolution of the deflected beam signal was improved by passing through an adequate electronic high-pass filter, as a result we obtained a better temporal resolution than that of the acoustic pressure detection by PZT transducer in terms of rising time. The spatial resolution was improved by passing the refracted beam signal into the edge of focusing lens to make a larger deflection angle. Sound speed was calculated by monitoring the time of flight of transient deflected signal at the predetermined position. Sound speed has been measured in air, distilled water and acryl, agreed well with the published values. The sound speed measured in the solution of glycerin, magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), and dimethylformamide with various mole fractions also agrees within 3% of relative error with those measured in the present work by ultrasonic pulse echo method. The results suggest that the method proposed is to be reliable and reproducible.

Forward light reflection from a moving inhomogeneity

The reflection of monochromatic and quasi-monochromatic pulsed light incident on a moving inhomogeneity in the optical characteristics of a medium having plasma-type dispersion has been analyzed. The velocity V of the inhomogeneity, induced in the medium by an intense laser pulse, has been changed by varying its carrier frequency. It has been shown that the usual back-reflection mode, when the reflected radiation pulse moves in the direction opposite the direction of incident radiation, is implemented only if the velocity V is less than the critical value V _min, which depends on the carrier frequency of the incident radiation pulse. It has been found that reflected radiation moves in the same direction as the incident radiation in a certain range of the velocity V _min < V < V _max (forward reflection). In this case, the reflected radiation pulse begins to lag behind a fast-moving inhomogeneity. When V _max < V < c, where c is the speed of light in vacuum, the group velocity of the incident radiation pulse is less than the speed of inhomogeneity, and there is no reflection. Analytical treatment is supported by numerical simulation.

Coherent stacking of frequency-chirped pulses for stable generation of controlled pulse shapes

Experiments on multiple-pulse stacking have revealed that there is frequency chirp in the incident laser pulse generated by active AM mode-locking. A square pulse is stably generated by the pulse stacking method when we consider the frequency chirp in the incident pulse. A square pulse of 890 ps duration has been obtained by stacking three pulses of 220 ps pulse width. This method will be easily extended to stably generate flat-top pulses of longer duration as predicted by calculation for coherent superposition of frequency-chirped pulses.     

Study on the instantaneous characteristics of diffracted and transmitted light of static photorefractive grating illuminated by ultra-short pulse laser

Based on Kogelnik's coupled wave theory, the time-domain diffraction and transmission of static PR gratings are theoretically studied when they are illuminated by ultra-short pulse laser. Study shows that the waveforms of the diffracted and transmitted pulses depend on the readout pulse duration, grating spacing, crystal thickness and refractive index modulation. By changing the values of these parameters, the diffracted and transmitted waveforms can be controlled. Also we find there is a displacement of diffracted and transmitted pulse along the time-axis when compared to readout pulse. Conclusions of our study could be used in many areas, such as pulse shaping and signal processing.
