准直物镜在变焦距镜头杂散光系数测试中的作用和影响分析

在对变焦距光学镜头进行杂散光系数测试的过程中,需要了解各测试环节的作用及对测量结果的影响。讨论了准直物镜使用与否对杂散光系数测量结果的影响。通过对杂散光形成机理的分析,将杂散光来源分为视场内与视场外两种,阐述不同来源杂散光的不同特点及这两种杂散光通过准直物镜后的状态。用两个参数不同的变焦距光学镜头在有无准直物镜两种情况下杂散光系数的测量结果,说明准直物镜在杂光测试中的作用。对于视场外入射光束形成的杂散光,准直物镜的使用与否对其测量结果影响巨大,而对视场内入射光束形成的杂散光影响很小,测量时可以利用准直物镜来判断光学镜头杂散光的来源。同时通过实验说明入射光线在准直物镜间的多次反射形成的杂散光约为1%,它可作为系统误差从测量结果中剔除。     

Enhanced backscattering and transmission of light from random surfaces on semi-infinite substrates and thin films

The enhanced backscattering of light from a random surface is manifested by a well defined peak in the retro-reflection direction in the angular distribution of the intensity of the incoherent component of the light scattered from such a surface. In this paper we present several new theoretical and experimental results bearing on the conditions under which enhanced backscattering occurs, and the way in which this phenomenon depends on the nature of the random surface roughness, both in the case that the random surface bounds a semi-infinite scattering medium and in the case that it bounds a film, either free-standing or on a reflecting substrate. In addition, we present new results on the transmission of light through thin metallic films bounded by random surfaces, which display the phenomenon of enhanced transmission, namely a well defined peak in the antispecular direction in the angular distribution of the intensity of the incoherent component of the light transmitted through such films.     

Enhanced backscattering and transmission of light from random surfaces on semi-infinite substrates and thin films

Abstract

The enhanced backscattering of light from a random surface is manifested by a well defined peak in the retro-reflection direction in the angular distribution of the intensity of the incoherent component of the light scattered from such a surface. In this paper we present several new theoretical and experimental results bearing on the conditions under which enhanced backscattering occurs, and the way in which this phenomenon depends on the nature of the random surface roughness, both in the case that the random surface bounds a semi-infinite scattering medium and in the case that it bounds a film, either free-standing or on a reflecting substrate. In addition, we present new results on the transmission of light through thin metallic films bounded by random surfaces, which display the phenomenon of enhanced transmission, namely a well defined peak in the antispecular direction in the angular distribution of the intensity of the incoherent component of the light transmitted through such films.     

Characteristic features of light scattering by a thick volume hologram

A mathematical model is proposed for the optical transfer function of a thick two-dimensional volume hologram bounded by a rectangular periphery. It is shown that the hologram is made up of two parts. The first part is formed by a point reference beam which reads out the hologram through the longitudinal boundary, while the second part is formed when it is read out through its transverse boundary. It is established that the principal features of light scattering by a thick hologram involve the second component of the optical transfer function. It is shown that under conditions of phase detuning the angular dependence of this component fails to coincide with the corresponding dependence of the first part, and this greatly complicates the structure of the angular intensity of the reconstructed light beam. This conclusion is confirmed by the experimental results given which were obtained when investigating holograms of a divergent light beam recorded in a lithium niobate photorefractive crystal. The results are given of a calculation using the mathematical model discussed as applied to the experimental situation considered. State University of Control Systems and Electronics, Tomsk.

Analysis of visual perception of light emitting diode brightness in dense fog with various droplet sizes

Road signs must provide a conspicuous signal to a wide variety of drivers over a broad range of environmental and geometric conditions. Recently, there are an increasing number of applications in which light emitting diodes (LEDs) are used as the light source, including critical transportation signaling. In the presence of fog, the resulting visual signal is disturbed due to light scattering by airborne water droplets. By measuring LED brightness with human spectral sensitivity in various densities and various droplet sizes (10, 30, 50, and 100 μm), it is understood that the particle size distribution (fog droplet size) and density of fog does affect visibility in fog. The colored LEDs that contain a yellow component had high brightness evaluation, blue component had low brightness evaluation in all densities and different droplet sizes. The result in this paper can contribute to air and land traffic safety and the prevention of accidents.

设计和研制了结构紧凑、杂散光低的微型平像场近红外光谱仪。在分光系统设计中不采用附加杂散光遮挡装置的常规方法,而是在准直物镜前设置一块直径为8．5mm的平面反射镜,通过调节平面反射镜改变入射光束的空间角,使光束全部被准直镜接收,不再产生旁光,从而有效地消除系统内的杂散光,使仪器整体杂散光水平降低了1．13％。另外,该光谱仪选择线阵CCD作为探测器件,不再设置冷却系统也避免了平面光栅带有扫描旋转机构。由于使用CCD作探测器和新的消杂散光设计方法,该光谱仪实现了微型化。

Development of a high-power deep-ultraviolet continuous-wave coherent light source for laser cooling of silicon atoms

We developed a deep-UV single-mode coherent light source through two-stage highly efficient frequency conversions by use of external cavities. In the first stage, second-harmonic power of 500 mW was obtained by frequency doubling of a 746-nm Ti:sapphire laser with a conversion efficiency of 40%. In the second stage, 50-mW power at ~252nm was obtained by doubly resonant sum-frequency mixing of 373-nm light from the first-stage conversion and 780-nm light from a diode laser. The output performance of this deep-UV light source is sufficient for laser cooling of neutral silicon atoms.     

Copropagating superluminal and slow light manifested by electromagnetically assisted nonlinear optical processes

We report an experimental observation of nonlinear optical gain and loss assisted by electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and simultaneous superluminal and subluminal light propagations. Two circular components of a linearly polarized light initiate third-order nonlinear processes in which one circular component is attenuated while the other component is amplified in a three-level EIT system. Near the atomic resonance, the attenuated circular component experiences steep normal dispersion and propagates with a slow group velocity, while the amplified circular component experiences steep anomalous dispersion and propagates with a superluminal group velocity.     

Optimization of focusing of linearly polarized light

We show that, by adding a π-phase shift to one-half of a linearly polarized beam, the roles of the transversal and longitudinal field components of the focused beam are interchanged, resulting in better focusing of the longitudinal component in the direction perpendicular to the phase jump line. For this component the scheme produces a spot with FWHM >15% smaller than a spot generated with either linearly or radially polarized light for any NA. The scheme has a similar advantage when applied to circularly polarized light, and it holds for both a plane wave and a realistic case of a Gaussian incident beam. This technique may find applications when using recording media responsive to the longitudinal field only, particularly in read/write for optical storage where the resolution in one transverse dimension is most important.     

Depolarized light scattering from simple fluids

It is shown that even in single scattering approximation, the light scattered by a simple fluid exhibits a depolarized component which arises from including additional terms in the current density. A new way of measuring the shear viscosity of a fluid is proposed.     

Multiple passages of light through an absorption inhomogeneity in optical imaging of turbid media

Multiple passages of light through an absorption inhomogeneity of finite size deep within a turbid medium are analyzed for optical imaging by use of the self-energy diagram. The nonlinear correction becomes more important for an inhomogeneity of a larger size and with greater contrast in absorption with respect to the host background. The nonlinear correction factor agrees well with that from Monte Carlo simulations for cw light. The correction is approximately 50%-75% in the near infrared for an absorption inhomogeneity with the typical optical properties found in tissues and five times the size of the transport mean free path.     

光源对激光超声信号特性的影响分析

通过已搭建好的激光超声检测实验平台,在保持相同激光脉冲能量和相同探测位置的条件下,重点研究了点光源与线光源产生的超声信号的特点和区别。研究了不同探测位置点光源与线光源激发出的超声信号幅值以及产生的超声信号波形。实验发现:在同一探测位置下,将点光源换成线光源后,产生的超声信号幅值由1.3 V提高到1.7 V,提高了0.4 V;在探测位置逐渐增大的情况下,点光源激发出超声信号幅值的衰减幅度为75.78%,而线光源激发出的超声信号幅值的衰减幅度为34.92%。结果表明,在功率密度相同的情况下,线光源产生的超声信号要比点光源产生的超声信号幅值提高40.86%,产生较强的表面波,提高了信噪比。     

Angular momentum of gaussian light beams

Analysis of the orbital angular momentum of paraxial light beams shows that a key role in the formation of this quantity is played by phase relations between longitudinal and transverse radiation fields. When a light beam is circularly polarized or has a helical wave front, the azimuthal component of the Poynting vector and the density of orbital angular momentum prove to be non-zero. In the case of circularly polarized radiation, the azimuthal component of the Poynting vector and the density of the orbital angular momentum can change the sign at different points in the cross section of the light beam, while the total orbital momentum of the beam remains quantized.     

Manipulating light pulses via dynamically controlled photonic band gap

When a resonance associated with electromagnetically induced transparency in an atomic ensemble is modulated by an off-resonant standing light wave, a band of frequencies can appear for which light propagation is forbidden. We show that dynamic control of such a band gap can be used to coherently convert a propagating light pulse into a stationary excitation with nonvanishing photonic component. This can be accomplished with high efficiency and negligible noise even at the level of few-photon quantum fields thereby facilitating possible applications in quantum nonlinear optics and quantum information.
