腔内像散扰动对正支共焦腔模式影响的数值分析

 针对激光器出光过程中腔内像差扰动带来的输出光束质量和光束能量下降问题,分析了腔内像差扰动对非稳腔模式的影响,并采用数值迭代法计算了理想情形和腔内像散扰动对无源正支共焦腔输出模式强度和相位分布的影响,进一步采用Zernike模式法对光束相位进行了像差拟合,得到了前35阶Zernike像差系数、点扩散函数(PSF)分布和环围能量曲线,计算了腔内像散扰动量与远场Strehl比的关系。结果表明：对小菲涅耳数正支共焦腔,腔内像散扰动对输出光束强度和相位分布均有明显影响,相位分布中一些高阶Zernike像差也有所增大。因此在进行腔内像差校正时,应优先考虑此类像差的校正。     

基于H-S波前传感器的正支共焦腔调腔方法的研究

采用H-S波前传感器对于非稳腔进行了实验调腔技术研究,指出了正支共焦腔调腔的原则,以输出光束近场强度和相位分布这一双重依据作为谐振腔是否调好的标准。进行非稳腔调腔时,首先应当保证整个光路共光轴使输出强度分布均匀,但此时光束中可能还包含离焦等高阶像差,因此在腔外用Hartmann-Shack波前传感器进行光束相位测量,得到了35阶像差Zernike系数、波面PV和RMS值,进一步计算得到远场分布和环围能量曲线等。从而可以全面了解输出光束质量,并能有针对性地对光腔进行调整,从而达到较理想的光腔调整共轴状态。     

腔内倾斜扰动对正支共焦腔本征模式的影响

针对激光器出光过程中腔内像差扰动带来的光束质量下降问题,分析了正支共焦腔腔内不同位置倾斜扰动对本征模式的影响,采用数值迭代法计算了理想状态及腔内不同位置倾斜扰动状态下的本征模式、相位Zernike像差拟合系数.结果表明：对大小给定的扰动,相位相对敏感性从凸面镜到凹面镜逐渐增加,且腔模倾斜像差增大的同时还将导致离焦、像散等高阶像差的增大,因此作腔内补偿时,应使补偿平面尽可能靠近凹面镜.     

超衍射极限相干反斯托克斯拉曼散射显微成像技术中空心光束的形成

空心光束的质量是超衍射极限相干反斯托克斯拉曼散射显微成像技术中决定成像质量的一个至关重要的因素. 本文基于菲涅耳衍射理论,分析了螺旋相位片法产生空心光束的物理机理,并且模拟了不同的入射条件对产生的空心光束的影响. 模拟结果表明:波长与相位片中心波长匹配且光强呈圆对称分布的高斯光垂直入射到相位片上,当高斯光束中心与相位片中心完全对准时,可获得较理想的空心光束;入射光光强分布的圆对称性以及入射光中心与相位片中心的对准程度都会影响产生的空心光束的强度分布;同时,高斯光束小角度倾斜入射时,空心光的强度分布仍呈圆对称,却在观察面发生一定的位移;此外,入射光中心波长偏离相位片中心波长不大时,对产生的空心光束的强度分布几乎没有影响. 上述分析结果对用于超衍射相干反斯托克斯拉曼散射显微成像技术中理想空心光束的获取具有重要的指导意义. 关键词： 空心光束 超衍射极限 相干反斯托克斯拉曼散射 螺旋相位片

虚共焦非稳腔腔镜倾斜对激光传输的影响

首先用几何光学方法分析了虚共焦非稳腔腔镜倾斜引起的准直光线偏离光轴,形成偏斜光线的角度灵敏度和偏斜距离灵敏度同非稳腔放大率ｍ和腔镜倾斜角β之间的关系,然后用Ｃ－６程序计算、分析了柱面条状虚共焦非稳腔单镜、双镜反向和同向倾斜三种情况下不同倾斜角对近场相位和远场强度的影响。数值结果表明,镜腔倾斜会使近场相位由均匀分布变成非均匀分布。从布导致远场光束质量变坏。     

非均匀光斑导致相变镜镜面偏转的研究

 针对高功率激光器中非均匀光斑热致变形导致光轴偏转的问题，提出用相变致冷镜作为腔镜来减小镜面变形峰谷值和角向偏转，在2kW连续二氧化碳激光器上进行了热变形和光束漂移实验。实验表明，与普通实心硅镜相比，相变致冷镜镜面温度分布更均匀，可有效地减小镜面偏转角和光斑中心漂移，提高远场光束质量。     

转镜式光谱仪端反射镜误差容限分析

系统分析了当转镜式干涉光谱仪端反射镜发生倾斜,致使反射光束偏转时对干涉图的影响.发现光束偏转带来的误差分为三部分：1）光束偏转导致整体增加的恒定光程差;2）垂直光轴方向因不同光线而引入的偏移光程差;3）光束中心相对于光轴的偏移量.干涉强度中的有效信号减小,同时直流分量不变,因此信噪比降低.最后从调制度和相位误差角度给出了端反射镜倾斜误差容限并讨论了减小干涉图受光束偏转影响的方法.     

利用周期型正交二元相位板产生正方阵列涡旋和螺旋光场

设计了一种周期型正交二元相位板,其具有周期型矩形调制单元,各单元的相位调制量为0或π。该相位板的空间频谱具有中心直流分量为0的特点,分别对该频谱中心区域的4个一级频谱点和8个二级频谱点进行相位调制,可得到正方阵列光斑和正方阵列涡旋。阵列涡旋中各涡旋光束的拓扑荷数l=±1,在空间交错分布。由于两个正方阵列光场在垂直传播方向的横向周期恰好重合,且两个光场沿光轴方向的波数不同,因此叠加之后可以形成强度分布随传输距离旋转的正方阵列螺旋,阵列中存在两种具有相反螺旋方向的螺旋光束,同样在空间呈交错分布。此外,讨论了产生最佳螺旋光束的相位板设计条件,并给出理想情况下系统的能量利用率,所得实验结果验证了该方法的可行性。

建立了燃烧驱动环柱型高能化学激光器环形增益介质的五种分布模型,使用差分和积分相结合的方法计算了束变换环孔腔在不同增益分布和折射率分布时的模式特征,研究了增益分布和折射率分布对束变换环孔腔输出性能的影响,结果表明束变换环孔腔在不同的增益介质及折射率分布情况下,仍然可以保持良好的输出光束质量,很高的提取效率,在化学激光器增益流存在激波扰动的情况下,输出光场的施特雷尔比仍达到0．8991,同时腔镜上光强分布较为均匀,可以避免镜面因热应力分布不均匀而造成镜面变形和破坏。该腔不但适用于高能化学激光器,也可以用于高能固体激光器,起到克服固体增益介质热畸变与热应力的作用,可获得优良的输出光束质量。

Reflectance distribution in optimal transmittance cavities: The remains of a higher dimensional space

One of the few examples in which the physical properties of an incommensurable system reflect an underlying higher dimensionality is presented. Specifically, we show that the reflectivity distribution of an incommensurable one-dimensional cavity is given by the density of states of a tight-binding Hamiltonian in a two-dimensional triangular lattice. Such effect is due to an independent phase decoupling of the scattered waves, produced by the incommensurable nature of the system, which mimics a random noise generator. This principle can be applied to design a cavity that avoids resonant reflections for almost any incident wave. An optical analogy, by using three mirrors with incommensurable distances between them, is also presented. Such array produces a countable infinite fractal set of reflections, a phenomena which is opposite to the effect of optical invisibility.     

冲击波在空气和熔石英元件界面传播的超快诊断

基于球面波在弹性介质界面上的反射和折射特性的基本理论,采用超快时间分辨的光学诊断技术,研究了532nm纳秒激光辐照熔石英元件表面产生的冲击波在空气和样品界面的传播特性,获得了冲击波在材料内部传输以及在空气与样品界面反射的时间分辨图像。结果表明:激光脉冲与材料作用在前后表面产生了向体内传输的冲击波,且产生的冲击波在玻璃与空气界面处反射为两个波,即反射波和反射剪切波;反射波和反射剪切波的强度与入射冲击波的入射角有关。     

隔板深度对激波聚焦起爆影响的数值模拟研究

考虑几何结构参数对激波聚焦触发爆轰波的复杂影响,对H2/Air预混气的环形射流激波聚焦起爆现象开展了数值模拟研究,详细分析了不同隔板深度条件下的激波聚焦过程、流场演化特征以及爆轰波参数变化规律。研究结果表明,凹腔内激波聚焦诱导的局部爆炸以及隔板前缘处射流形成"卷吸涡"是引起爆轰波触发的两个重要机制,而隔板深度是影响环形射流激波聚焦起爆性能的关键因素。随着隔板深度的增加,凹腔内激波聚焦的强度逐步增强,回传的能量损失有所减小,进而导致爆燃转爆轰的距离与时间显著缩短。此外,当隔板深度由1 mm逐渐增加至3 mm时,爆轰波自持传播稳定性呈现出先降低后升高的变化趋势,产生这一现象的主要原因是爆轰波强度与三波点运动的相互作用。     

Japan megathrust earthquake on March 11, 2011: GPS-TEC evidence for ionospheric disturbances

Two-dimensional distributions of the vertical total electron content in the ionosphere above the Japan under-sea mega-earthquake on March 11, 2011 are reconstructed using high-temporal-resolution (2-min) data from the Japan GPS network. A diverging ionospheric perturbation with multicomponent spectral composition is identified emerging after the main shock. The disturbances in the ionospheric electron concentration caused by acoustic gravity waves generated by the earthquake-related processes. The initial phase of this disturbance can be used as a marker in the tsunami early warning systems. The surface energy of the earthquake estimated from the amplitude of the ionospheric disturbance is close to the estimate based on the seismic data. Other disturbances (ionospheric responses to the Rayleigh and tsunami waves, a solitary ionospheric pulse) are also analyzed. Physical interpretation of the identified ionospheric disturbances is presented.     

Probe-beam deflection diagnostics of shock waves generated during laser drilling

A probe-beam deflection technique was employed to investigate the evolution of shock waves generated during drilling processes of optical materials by a high repetition rate copper vapor laser. Experimental observations were analyzed by using a theoretical model of shock wave expansion which also furnished quantitative information on the main physical functions associated to laser-induced acoustic phenomena.     

The effect of the group propagation of waves on the spectral behaviour of a multilayer Ar coating

As the monitoring wavelength detected by an optical monitor (photometer) is inevitably of a considerable spectral width, it should be travelling as a group of waves rather than a monochromatic wave. In addition, the photometer is influenced simultaneously by the waves’ combined effect. The phases of the disturbance of different wavelengths travelling with the group velocity are in good agreement. Therefore, the phase thickness(es) of the monitored layer(s) should be modulated by the group factor. The effect of the new thickness(es) is investigated and the close correlation between theoretically predicted and experimental results is presented.     

Viscosity of aluminum under shock-loading conditions

A reliable data treatment method is critical for viscosity measurements using the disturbance amplitude damping method of shock waves. In this paper the finite difference method is used to obtain the numerical solutions for the disturbance amplitude damping behaviour of the sinusoidal shock front in a flyer-impact experiment. The disturbance amplitude damping curves are used to depict the numerical solutions of viscous flow. By fitting the experimental data to the numerical solutions of different viscosities, we find that the effective shear viscosity coefficients of shocked aluminum at pressures of 42, 78 and 101 GPa are (1500±100) Pa · s, (2800±100) Pa · s and (3500±100) Pa · s respectively. It is clear that the shear viscosity of aluminum increases with an increase in shock pressure, so aluminum does not melt below a shock pressure of 101 GPa. This conclusion is consistent with the sound velocity measurement.     

Optical bistability using quantum coherence in a microwave-driven four-level atomic system

The behavior of the optical bistability (OB) is investigated in an optical system which consists of a four-level atomic system with a microwave drive field and an optical cavity. It is found that the optical bistability can be accomplished by adjusting different physical parameters in both steady and transient process. Due to the existence of the microwave drive field, the optical bistability can be also obtained even under weak coherent coupling field condition. Since the intensity and phase of microwave drive field can be conveniently modulated, this optical system provides a new experimental method to test the optical bistability theory.
