Verification of speckle contrast measurement interrelation with observation distance

The speckle contrasts of two types of laser projectors were measured at various observation distances and observation lens pinhole diameters using a quantitative measurement technique. We found that the speckle contrast as a function of the observation numerical aperture varies with the projection architecture. In a full-frame projector, it is proportional to the numerical aperture, but it is proportional to its square root in a raster-scanned projector. The difference in speckle contrast as a function of the numerical aperture was analyzed based on Goodman’s speckle theory. The obtained results were found to be very useful and applicable for speckle evaluation and display qualifications in an arbitrary observer’s position.     

不同形状孔阵屏蔽效应的分析

 屏蔽效应的研究对于防御电磁干扰，保证电子系统的正常工作是非常重要的。计算了屏蔽腔上开有不同形状的孔阵时对屏蔽效应的影响，分析比较了各种不同孔间距对屏蔽效应的影响。计算结果表明，圆形孔阵的穿透系数最小，方形孔阵次之，蜂巢形孔阵较大，但频谱分布基本一致。而对于哑铃形孔阵，由于孔面形状差异较大，孔面处磁流分布变化也较大，不仅穿透系数比前三者都大，而且高频时穿透系数的频率分布也发生较大改变。另外，随着孔阵中孔间距变大，孔之间的互耦减弱，耦合进屏蔽腔内的场强也变小。

Velocity and ejector-jet assisted differential pumping: Novel design stages for environmental SEM

Velocity and ejection pumping are proposed as novel evacuation techniques to assist the static differential pumping already in use in the environmental scanning electron microscope. The gas velocity (or momentum) that accompanies the supersonic jet stream formed through the first pressure limiting aperture is used to initially force the gas out of the system by placing the second pressure limiting aperture at an optimum position in the gaseous jet. By this method, the gaseous particle thickness between the two apertures is minimised and the required pumping speed of the first evacuation stage is also reduced to an absolute minimum. A further improvement is achieved by inserting an appropriately shaped baffle between the two apertures, which shields the second aperture from the gas jet of the first and acts as an ejector-jet pump. The gas leak rate through the second aperture is maintained at an acceptable low level by both systems, even below the static leak rate level when the ejector-jet design is used, in particular. The result of either method has a double benefit, namely, the electron beam loss in the intermediate pumping stage is minimised together with a reduction of pump speed requirements. This translates to best instrument performance and minimal manufacturing costs.

板条射频放电产生单重态氧实验研究

 通过考察各种放电状态及气流条件下发生器内外物种的自发辐射谱,发现光谱峰值强度与对应物种浓度成正比。分析了主要的等离子体动力学过程,了解了单重态氧及其它物种的浓度变化规律。考察了α放电和γ放电两种不同的放电方式。发现在α放电状态下,体系中有较少氧原子等淬灭性粒子,更有利于O₂(¹Δ)产生。加入He,有效地降低了气体体系的离子化阈能和约化场强,约化场强最小时,产生的O₂(¹Δ)浓度最大,相较于纯氧放电,O₂(¹Δ)浓度提高一倍以上。考察了腔外各物种浓度的变化,O₂(¹Δ)离开放电腔后浓度稳定,沿距离减少较慢,有益于出光。优化了本系统的放电极间距,极间距太大或太小,都不利于单重态氧的产生。

Experimental research of circular incoherently synthetic aperture imaging ladar using chirped-laser and heterodyne detection

Synthetic aperture imaging ladar (SAIL) technique belongs fully coherent processing in both the time domain and space domain and has a rather high implement difficulty. To solve this problem, the concept of circular incoherently SAIL is introduced. A speckle version image of a two-dimensional (2D) letter ’E’ target is reconstructed from E-field projection data detected by a circular incoherently SAIL system. The experimental system is constructed by three subsystems using chirped-pulse laser as the light source and heterodyne detection to get the range information of the target. The reconstruction of the image and the noise effect are also discussed in detail.     

Transport Processes from Mechanics: Minimal and Simplest Models

We review the current state of a fundamental problem of rigorous derivation of transport processes in classical statistical mechanics from classical mechanics. Such derivations for diffusion and momentum transport (viscosities) were obtained for minimal models of these processes involving one and two particles respectively. However, a minimal model which demonstrates heat conductivity contains three particles. Its rigorous analysis is currently out of reach for existing mathematical techniques. The gas of localized balls is widely accepted as a basis for a simplest model for derivation of Fourier’s law. We suggest a modification of the localized balls gas and argue that this gas of localized activated balls is a good candidate to rigorously prove Fourier’s law. In particular, hyperbolicity is derived for a reduced version of this model.     

High order harmonic generation optimization with an apertured laser beam

We report a systematic study of high order harmonic generation with an infrared laser apertured by an iris, as a function of the aperture size. Measurements were made of harmonic generation efficiency for different gas species, laser energies and focal geometries. Harmonic efficiencies as a function of aperture show a characteristic peaked shape, which is independent of gas species and harmonic order. A one dimensional, time dependent simulation of harmonic generation in a gas cell, taking into account experimentally measured transverse coherence of the laser, closely reproduces the observed behaviours. We show that the aperture diameter which maximizes harmonic yield is the result of a compromise between considerations of focal geometry and ionization (which favour small apertures); and harmonic dipole amplitude and phase (which favour large apertures).

Image degradation characteristics and restoration based on regularization for diffractive imaging

The diffractive membrane optical imaging system is an important development trend of ultra large aperture and lightweight space camera. However, related investigations on physics-based diffractive imaging degradation characteristics and corresponding image restoration methods are less studied. In this paper, the model of image quality degradation for the diffraction imaging system is first deduced mathematically based on diffraction theory and then the degradation characteristics are analyzed. On this basis, a novel regularization model of image restoration that contains multiple prior constraints is established. After that, the solving approach of the equation with the multi-norm coexistence and multi-regularization parameters (prior’s parameters) is presented. Subsequently, the space-variant PSF image restoration method for large aperture diffractive imaging system is proposed combined with block idea of isoplanatic region. Experimentally, the proposed algorithm demonstrates its capacity to achieve multi-objective improvement including MTF enhancing, dispersion correcting, noise and artifact suppressing as well as image’s detail preserving, and produce satisfactory visual quality. This can provide scientific basis for applications and possesses potential application prospects on future space applications of diffractive membrane imaging technology.     

A Two-coordinate digital detector for microscopy in the soft X-ray region

A detector is developed for a microscope operating in the soft X-ray region. Main detector characteristics are given. Spatial resolution is less than 1 μm. For the high-aperture optical lens with numerical aperture NA = 0.55, the efficiency of converting X-ray energy to visible light collected on its charge-coupled device (CCD) camera is 2.8%. Owing to the optical part of the detector, it is possible to change the microscope’s resolution and field of view when measuring.     

Optical switch based on variable aperture

We report on a pixel whose aperture can be varied electrically. The pixel is confined by a hole-patterned polymer wall and a dielectric liquid forms a ring shape around the wall surface. Without an electric field, the pixel has the largest aperture. The applied fringing field stretches the liquid surface, leading to a decrease in the aperture size. The switchable aperture ratio of the pixel is over 80% and the response time is ~10 ms. Such a device is useful for an optical attenuator, a light shutter, an adaptive iris, and an information display.     

Separation of image-distortion sources and magnetic-field measurement in scanning electron microscope (SEM)

The electron-microscope image distortion generated by electromagnetic interference (EMI) is an important problem for accurate imaging in scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Available commercial solutions to this problem utilize sophisticated hardware for EMI detection and compensation. Their efficiency depends on the complexity of distortions influence on SEM system. Selection of a proper method for reduction of the distortions is crucial. The current investigations allowed for a separation of the distortions impact on several components of SEM system. A sum of signals from distortion sources causes wavy deformations of specimen shapes in SEM images. The separation of various reasons of the distortion is based on measurements of the periodic deformations of the images for different electron beam energies and working distances between the microscope final aperture and the specimen. Using the SEM images, a direct influence of alternating magnetic field on the electron beam was distinguished. Distortions of electric signals in the scanning block of SEM were also separated. The presented method separates the direct magnetic field influence on the electron beam below the SEM final aperture (in the chamber) from its influence above this aperture (in the electron column). It also allows for the measurement of magnetic field present inside the SEM chamber. The current investigations gave practical guidelines for selecting the most efficient solution for reduction of the distortions.     

A finite-element model of the aperture method for determining the effective radiating area of physiotherapy treatment heads

This paper describes a theoretical study of the way in which a circular aperture placed in front of a plane-piston modifies the ultrasonic field it generates. Specifically, the radiated acoustic power transmitted by the aperture and the radiation force experienced by an absorbing target placed in the transmitted beam, are evaluated at a distance from the exit-side of the aperture. The calculations used a finite element (FE) method, in conjunction with a surface Helmholtz integral formulation to solve the fluid/structure interaction problem. The PAFEC (Program for Automatic Finite Element Computation) vibroacoustics software was used for the FE calculations and the implementation of the surface Helmholtz integral formulation method. Acoustic pressures and particle velocities were computed at required points, whilst accounting for the presence of the aperture in the medium, together with its dynamic properties when subjected to an incident sound field. This enabled the calculation of the radiation force on the absorber and its variation with the applied aperture diameter was investigated. As part of the validation process for the new FE aperture model, the ratio of radiation force to radiated acoustic power obtained using the FE method in the unapertured case, through the use of the Rayleigh integral, yielded good agreement with results obtained through an analytical solution. The study has been carried out to provide a better understanding of the factors affecting the measurement uncertainty for the aperture method of determining the effective radiating area (A(ER)) of physiotherapy ultrasound treatment heads.
