Noninterferometric two-dimensional fourier-transform spectroscopy of multilevel systems

We demonstrate a technique that determines the phase of the photon-echo emission from spectrally resolved intensity data without requiring phase-stabilized input pulses. The full complex polarization of the emission is determined from spectral intensity measurements. The validity of this technique is demonstrated using simulated data, and is then applied to the analysis of two-color data obtained from the light-harvesting molecule lycopene.     

Experimental investigation of the sound absorption performance of compartmented Helmholtz resonators

An experiment was derived in the present study to investigate the effects of coupling up two Helmholtz resonators on their overall sound absorption performance. The effect of compartmenting the cavity of a resonator on its sound absorption property was also discussed. Such cavity compartmentation in fact creates a coupled resonator with a front and a rear resonator. The results show that the coupling in many cases can improve the sound absorption capacity and widen the working bandwidth of the resonators provided that the uncoupled resonance frequency of the front resonator is larger than or equal to that of the rear resonator. Results also suggest that the best compartmentation is that with these uncoupled resonance frequencies very close to each other. It is also found that the undamped plane wave approach is sufficient to predict the resonance frequencies of the coupled resonators within engineering tolerance.     

Experimental investigation of current modulation in a planar Cs-Batacitron

The Cs-Ba tacitron is being considered as a switch, or as an inverter consisting of two switches operating in a push-pull mode, for power conditioning of low voltage/high current dc power sources operating in high radiation/high temperature environment, beyond the limits of semiconductor switches. This paper presents new experimental results delineating the effect of the various operating parameters on the grid potential needed for ignition, V_g⁺, and extinguishing, V_g^-, during stable current modulation of a planar Cs-Ba tacitron. Parameters investigated are Cs pressure, emitter temperature, T_E, discharge current, I_C , and modulation frequency, f_g. The value of V_g ⁺, which is independent of T_E, decreases as Cs pressure increases, but increases as either I_C or f_g increases. Increasing the emitter temperature from 1100-1200°C only slightly decreases the forward voltage drop in the device by ~0.2 V. The value of |V_g^-| increases with Cs pressure, decreases with increased T_E, and is sensitive to changes in fg. At I_C=5 A, the value of |V_g ^-| for stable modulation shows a maximum between 8 kHz and 10 kHz. The Cs pressure, I_C, fg, and V_g⁺ all affect the ignition delay time; depending on the operating conditions, it increases from 5-30 μs to an equilibrium value of 10-45 μs during the first 2 ms in the pulse train     

The theory of planar Bragg resonators

The reflecting properties of one-dimensional planar Bragg gratings are studied. A coupled resonator model for studying the diffraction of electromagnetic waves in an arbitrarily corrugated waveguide is suggested. It is based on exact relationships that follow from the two-dimensional boundary-value problem stated in terms of the Helmholtz equation. The specific relationships for the rectangular corrugation of the grating-forming plates are presented. The reflection coefficients of the Bragg gratings vs. corrugation length and incident radiation frequency are calculated. An analytical solution for the “narrow” corrugation is obtained.     

Noise effects in fourier-transform spectroscopy (two-sided interferograms)

This paper presents a new calculation of the noise features in the computed spectrum obtained from two-sided interferograms. It is assumed that the dominant noise in the interferogram is the detector noise.This method and corresponding results are compared with previous ones of Connes.¹     

Experimental investigation of ghostlines in Fourier spectroscopy in the far-infrared

In this work we have investigated the intensity of ghostlines which occur in the spectrum obtained with a two-beam Fourier interferometer when the travel of its moving mirror is periodically distorted. This intensity has been compared quantitatively with the amplitude of the periodic travel distortion as measured directly with a dilatometer, enabling the determination of travel distortions as small as 0.2 μm. It is concluded that the amplitude of the periodic distortion as calculated from the measured intensity of the ghostlines is in fair agreement with the distortion as obtained from a direct measurement.

Experimental investigation on submicron rib waveguide microring/racetrack resonators in silicon-on-insulator

In experiment, characteristics of silicon microring/racetrack resonators in submicron rib waveguides have been systematically investigated. It is demonstrated that only a transverse-electric mode is guided for a ratio of slab height to rib height h/H = 0.5. Thus, these microring/racetrack resonators can only function for quasi-transverse-electric mode, while they get rid of transverse-magnetic polarization. Electron beam lithography and inductively coupled plasma etching were employed and improved to reduce sidewall roughness for low propagation loss and high performance resonators. Then, the effects of waveguide dimensions, coupling region design, waveguide roughness, and oxide cladding for the resonators have been considered and analyzed.     

激光诱导Ca等离子体温度的实验研究

等离子体温度是激光诱导击穿光谱测量中一个重要的因素。采用Nd:YAG脉冲激光器作为光源击穿样品形成等离子体,其发射光谱由中阶梯光栅光谱仪和ICCD进行分光和光电转换。通过实验得出了300~450 nm波段的光谱图,定性分析出了Ca Ⅱ 315.9, 317.9, 393.4, 396.9 nm和Ca Ⅰ 422.7 nm等发射谱线。根据激光诱导击穿光谱定量公式,等离子体温度的变化对谱线强度有影响。先假设实验中等离子体处于局部热平衡状态,选用Ca的4条一价离子谱线,根据Boltzmann斜线法计算出了等离子体温度,并得到了等离子体温度与Ca质量分数的关系。随着Ca质量分数的增加,等离子体温度也相应增加。但当Ca质量分数小于0.50%时等离子体温度增加的幅度较小,而质量分数大于0.50%时等离子体温度的上升幅度相对较大。最后经过验证,实验中等离子体处于局部热平衡状态的假设成立。

A high efficiency polarizing interferometer for the far infrared fourier-transform spectroscopy

Conclusion The new polarizing interferometer was constructed, in which all the radiation entering the interferometer can be utilized. From the experimental results in the atmosphere and for the water-vapour, it is seen that this spectrometer can work satisfactorily from 5 cm^–1 to 1/2d cm^–1. Comparison of the spectrun by this interferometer with one by the standard Michelson interferometer shows that the gain of luminosity is almost as expected. Grid with substrate causes the interference and produces the spectral response in the higher frequency region. Another configuration of two grids and two plane mirrors is proposed for the polarizing interferometer of high luminosity and of very simple design.     

Simulation of selective characteristics of two-dimensional planar Bragg resonators

Employing direct numerical simulation, we show the adequacy of using the geometrical-optics approximation for describing electrodynamic characteristics of two-dimensional planar Bragg resonators. High selectivity of such resonators with respect to two coordinates is confirmed for large Fresnel parameters. It is shown that in accordance with analytical results, the frequencies of the highest-Q modes lie near the frequency of exact Bragg resonance in the absence of defects of periodicity. The simulation results are in good agreement with the results of “cold” electrodynamic tests. __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Radiofizika, Vol. 49, No. 10, pp. 906–916, October 2006.     

Expanding the bandwidth of planar MNG materials with co-directional split-ring resonators

An effective approach to expand the bandwidth of negative permeability of small-sized planar materials is proposed. Based on qualitative analysis of equivalent circuit models, the fractional bandwidth of an μ-negative (MNG) material is expanded from 3.53% up to 12.87% by adding split-ring resonators (SRRs) and arranging them by proposed steps. Moreover, the experimental results validate the effectiveness of bandwidth-expanding methods, which is promising for the extensive application of metamaterials in the microwave field.
