A Quantum Interpretation of Light Scattering near the Boundary between Transparent Media with Kerr Nonlinearity

The transformation of light by a nonlinear beamsplitter is considered. The beamsplitter is formed by a plane interface between two transparent dielectrics, at least one of which has a Kerr nonlinearity; i.e., its refractive index depends on the intensity of the penetrating radiation. It is shown that the interpretation of the result of calculation of quantum fields at the outputs from such a beamsplitter indicates a violation of the principle of causality in the sense that a subsequent event affects the previous one.     

Differential correction system of laser beam directional dithering based on symmetrical beamsplitter

This paper proposes a differential correction system with a differential optical path and a symmetrical beamsplitter for correcting the directional dithering of the laser beams. This system can split a collimated laser beam into two laser beams with equal and opposite movements. Thus, the positional averages of the two split laser beams remain constant irrespective of the dithering angle. The symmetrical beamsplitter designed based on transfer matrix principle is to balance the optical paths and irradiances of the two laser beams. Experimental results show that the directional dithering is reduced to less than one-pixel value. Finally, two examples show that this system can be widely used in one-dimensional measurement.     

基于单一分光棱镜干涉仪的双通路定量相位显微术

仅仅使用一个单独的分光棱镜(BS),实现了一种用于生物细胞三维成像的双通路定量相位显微术.不同于传统的使用方法,将BS倾斜放置,使中央半反射层与入射光光轴之间存在一个非常小的角度.这样基于BS的分光特性,经过BS后的透射光束和反射光束将会叠加在一起并形成干涉.调节样品位置,利用相机拍摄同时获得了存在π相移的双通路干涉图.这种离轴干涉模式,只需要记录单幅干涉图就可以获得真实的相位信息,方法结构简单,易于操作,适用于微小透明样品的三维形貌测量.

计算全息法测量长焦透镜面形和焦距

为了同时对长焦透镜的面形和焦距进行高精度检测,提出在Zygo干涉仪的球面光路中加入一个二元衍射元件作为检测件的计算全息法。 首先对计算全息法检测长焦透镜的面形和焦距进行了理论推导,并给出焦距误差公式。在Zemax中使用在平面基底上制作的二元衍射元件对一个长焦透镜的面形和焦距进行了模拟检测,其中对该长焦透镜面形的干涉检测PV值为0.0034λ,对焦距的检测精度为-0.11%。最后详细分析了两类误差对检测结果的影响,其中光学元件的位置误差影响不超过0.1λ;二元衍射元件的制造误差影响约0.01λ,在具体制造过程中,其径向位置误差和台阶误差可分别在2 μm和5 nm之内。在综合考虑各项误差的情况下,该方法的检测精度仍然可控制在2λ/25之内。     

Novel Ghost Imaging Method for a Pure Phase Object

We propose a novel ghost imaging scheme which is especially served to a pure phase object. A spatially incoherent beam is mixed with a coherent beam of the same frequency field by a beamsplitter. Then we perform the ghost imaging scheme using the mixed beam. Our theoretical result shows that this approach is capable of reconstructing a pure phase object in joint-intensity measurement. The visibility of the images is also analysed for two pure phase objects, an optical wedge and a phase grating.     

平面全息光栅曝光系统中的分光器件特性分析

分光器件是全息光栅曝光系统中的关键光学元件,它将入射激光光束分成两束,两相干光束叠加后形成干涉条纹。曝光系统的稳定性不但影响干涉条纹对比度,还影响光栅衍射波前像差、杂散光水平以及光栅掩模刻槽质量。为了提高曝光系统的稳定性,分析入射光束角度偏离与两相干光束夹角(2θ)的关系,并结合干涉条纹周期公式,分别导出了以光栅和棱镜作为分光器件时入射激光束角度偏离量与待制作光栅空间相位差的解析表达式,据此分析了光栅和棱镜曝光系统的稳定性。结果表明,采用光栅分光的曝光系统的稳定性比棱镜分光曝光系统稳定性提高5~6个数量级,这对长时间曝光制作全息光栅具有实际意义。     

Technology for the next gravitational wave detectors

This paper reviews some of the key enabling technologies for advanced and future laser interferometer gravitational wave detectors, which must combine test masses with the lowest possible optical and acoustic losses, with high stability lasers and various techniques for suppressing noise. Sect. 1 of this paper presents a review of the acoustic properties of test masses. Sect. 2 reviews the technology of the amorphous dielectric coatings which are currently universally used for the mirrors in advanced laser interferometers, but for which lower acoustic loss would be very advantageous. In sect. 3 a new generation of crystalline optical coatings that offer a substantial reduction in thermal noise is reviewed. The optical properties of test masses are reviewed in sect. 4, with special focus on the properties of silicon, an important candidate material for future detectors. Sect. 5 of this paper presents the very low noise, high stability laser technology that underpins all advanced and next generation laser interferometers.     

Coherent recombination of laser beams with interferometrical phase control

A HeNe laser beam is split into four component beams which are subsequently transmitted through four polarization-preserving monomode fibres. At the end of the fibres the emerging beams are coherently recombined in pairs in two steps using inverse beamsplitter cubes. The unavoidable phase differences within each pair of beams, which are caused by temperature and pressure fluctuations in the fibre environment, are detected interferometrically at the fibre ends. Using homodyne techniques, these differences are measured and compensated for by lengthening the optical path in the individual fibres with piezo-electric stretching. With appropriate adjustment of the relative phases the emerging beams can be superimposed onto each other so as to re-form one single coherent beam.     

Cavity loss induced generation of W states

The existence of decoherence-free subspace （DFS） has been discussed widely. In this paper, we propose an alternative scheme for generating the four-atom W states by manipulating DF qubits. The atoms are divided into two pairs and trapped in two separate optical cavities. Manipulation of atoms within DFS may generate a two-atom maximally entangled state in an individual cavity, which is a stable state. After driving the system out of DFS, the atoms will interact resonantly with the cavity field. The photons leaking from the cavities interfere at the beamsplitter, which destroys which-path information, and are finally detected by one of the detectors, leading to the generation of a W state. In addition, the numerical simulation indicates that the fidelity of the prepared state can, for a very wide parameter regime, be very close to unity.

Enhanced Optical Image Verification Based on Joint Transform Correlator Adopting Fourier Hologram

In this paper two new architectures for optical image verification are proposed. Both architectures are based on conventional joint transform correlators (JTCs) adopting a Fourier hologram and can significantly improve the recovered image quality. First, an input phase-only function is Fourier transformed and then interferes with a reference wave that is diffracted from a plane wave incident on another random phase mask. Second, two phase-only functions are placed at the two input sides of a beamsplitter such that the interference pattern of their Fourier transforms can be detected. To obtain a predefined target image in the output plane, one of the input phase functions is iteratively retrieved by the use of the projection onto constraint sets algorithm. Simulation results show that the less mean squared error and better image quality are obtained for both the binary and grayscale images.     

Cavity loss induced generation of W states

The existence of decoherence-free subspace (DFS) has been discussed widely. In this paper, we propose an alternative scheme for generating the four-atom $W$ states by manipulating DF qubits. The atoms are divided into two pairs and trapped in two separate optical cavities. Manipulation of atoms within DFS may generate a two-atom maximally entangled state in an individual cavity, which is a stable state. After driving the system out of DFS, the atoms will interact resonantly with the cavity field. The photons leaking from the cavities interfere at the beamsplitter, which destroys which-path information, and are finally detected by one of the detectors, leading to the generation of a $W$ state. In addition, the numerical simulation indicates that the fidelity of the prepared state can, for a very wide parameter regime, be very close to unity.     

Dual-channel phase-shifting interferometry for microscopy with second wavelength assistance

Dual-channel phase-shifting interferometry for simultaneous phase microscopy is presented. Red and blue light beams are used for microscope illumination. A 45 tilted beamsplitter replicates the object and reference waves in red light together with the object wave in blue light into two parallel beams. The two resulting quadrature phase-shifting interferograms in red light and the object waves in blue light are generated in the two channels. The two interferograms are recorded simultaneously by a color charge-coupled device (CCD) camera, and can be separated via RGB components of the recorded color patterns without crosstalk. As a result, the phase of tested specimen can be retrieved. The feasibility of the proposed method is demonstrated by test performed on a microscopic specimen.
