全息光栅曝光系统中空间滤波器孔径与激光束腰关系的选择方法

在全息光栅制作过程中, 由空气悬浮颗粒及光学器件缺陷引起的散射光会被记录在光刻胶上, 既影响光栅衍射效率, 又会带来光栅杂散光. 为消除系统散射光, 需要对激光光束的高频成分进行滤波处理. 但是, 激光光束通过空间滤波器后发生衍射, 进而影响干涉场质量, 因此选择合适的空间滤波器孔径是搭建全息光栅曝光系统的前提条件. 根据标量衍射积分理论, 通过卷积计算滤波光束的振幅分布分析光束的相位变化, 以光束相位突变位置远离光束中心为依据确定滤波器针孔半径与光束束腰半径的比值下限; 根据滤波光束的能量守恒关系, 通过滤波光束的高斯参数变化描述光束的衍射强弱规律, 以光束发生衍射的临界条件确定滤波器针孔半径与光束束腰半径的比值上限. 结果表明, 当空间滤波器针孔半径与激光束腰半径之比满足1.52< a/ω₀<2.2时, 滤波光束曝光区域相位恒定, 光束能量通过率大于99%, 在此区间空间滤波器滤波效果最好.

为分析平顶高斯光束通过光学系统传输时圆孔光阑失调和光学元件失调对平顶高斯光束传输特性的影响,利用失调圆孔光阑的近似展开式和适用于失调光学系统的广义衍射公式,得出了平顶高斯光束经含失调圆孔光阑的失调光学系统传输的近似解析式,给出了输出光束场分布与光束参量、光阑孔径尺寸、光阑和光学元件失调量等的定量关系.针对特定光学系统定量分析了各失调量对输出光束场分布的影响,结果表明各元件失调都对输出光束强度分布产生较大影响.但在各失调量较小的情况下,透镜失调对输出光束传输特性的影响比光阑失调对输出光束传输特性的影响更明显.     

扩束准直光学系统中光学元件失调对高斯光束传输变换的影响分析

基于广义惠更斯-菲涅尔衍射积分公式, 以高斯光束为激光束模型,推导了激光光束通过失调扩束准直光学系统的传输公式,分析了光学元件失调对扩束准直光学系统输出光束传输特性的影响,并在此基础上进行了仿真。实验结果表明,高斯光束通过失调扩束准直光学系统时,出射光束变为偏心高斯光束,光学元件失调程度越大,输出光束越偏离光轴,光束质量越差。在同样的失调下,长焦距光学元件对输出光束影响更大,因此在激光扩束准直光学系统中,调整长焦距光学元件更为重要。

Stationary-fiber rotary probe with unobstructed 360° view for optical coherence tomography

A side-scanning fiber probe is a critical component for optical coherence tomography in medical imaging and diagnosis. We propose and fabricate an on-axis rotating probe that performs in situ, circumferential scanning that is shadow-free (not susceptible to shadow effects caused by the motor's wires). A miniature motor that incorporates a bored-out shaft for the optical fiber is located at the distal end of the probe, which results in a more stable and uniform circumferential scan, free from wire-shadow interference effects. More importantly, this design, novel to our knowledge, compared to other probes avoids the insertion losses introduced by optical coupling components and the multitude of optical interfaces, which is very important for sensing weak signals backscattered from structures deep in the tissue.     

Comparative investigation of the effect of heat and optical radiation on the structure of island metal films by optical fluctuation microscopy

Variations in the structural parameters of island sodium films on the quartz surface, caused by heating or exposure to optical radiation, are investigated by the optical method proposed earlier. A correct scheme of processing the measured data is developed. It is shown that to determine the structure parameters, the measurements of both the mean values and fluctuations of transmission and reflection coefficients of the film and of their correlator are required. It is also demonstrated that under a number of assumptions, it is possible to determine the character of the process of evaporation of islands and to reveal the evolution of the distribution function by using the data of measurements. It was found experimentally that variations in the structural parameters of a film during its evaporation caused by heating of the substrate or irradiation by light can noticeably differ. This fact is explained by a difference in the mechanisms of action of heating and irradiation on an island.

Laser diode interferometer used for measuring displacements in large range with a nanometer accuracy

In this paper, the displacement of an object is measured with a photothermal phase-modulating laser diode interferometer. A feedback control system is designed to reduce the measurement errors caused by the fluctuations in the optical wavelength of the laser diode and the vibrations of the optical components in the interferometer. A new method is proposed to enlarge the measuring range of displacement. Using this method, the measuring range is enlarged from half wavelength to nearly 125 μm and the measurement accuracy is about 1 nm. The simulation and experimental results have shown the usefulness of the method and the feedback control system.     

Propagation dynamics of nonlinear chirped optical laser pulses in a two-level medium

We investigate the propagation dynamics of nonlinear chirped optical laser pulses in a two-level medium. For certain chirp strength and chirp width, an incident 2π nonlinear chirped pulse will split into optical precursors and a stable self-induced transparency soliton. This is caused by the particular Fourier spectrum that includes not only central resonant frequency components but also high-frequency and low-frequency sidebands. Moreover, the effects of chirp parameters on the evolution of nonlinear chirped pulses are also discussed.     

Optical Module for Modified Signed-Digit Computing Based on Bit Plane Encoding and Pattern Operations

We propose here a new optical modified signed-digit (MSD) adder module based on bit plane pattern encoding of MSD digits and pattern operations. The pattern operations required in the algorithm are duplication, combination and shifting. They are simply performed by using optical components such as beam splitters, mirrors and parallel plates, instead of optical logic arrays. An optical MSD adder module comprised of six properly interacting blocks with all optical components packaged on a common substrate is presented in detail. We analyze the system errors caused by manufacture and alignment of optical components, the information throughput, the intensity nonuniformity and the system volume of the adder module.

针对超薄光学元件在加工过程中因重力和磨头产生应力形变的特点,提出了一种高效、先进的超薄光学元件综合加工方法。该方法综合运用了精密铣磨、精密抛光、离子束修形等先进技术进行面形控制。在铣磨阶段采用受力分析和误差补偿的方法降低了元件变形引入的面形误差;在抛光阶段通过气囊抛光和沥青抛光的迭代实现了面形快速收敛;在离子束加工阶段充分利用其非接触、无应力的加工特点实现了高精度面形修正。实验选择径厚比为34(边长152 mm,厚度6.35 mm)的方形融石英材料进行加工实验。结果表明:在铣磨、抛光、修形阶段的各项指标都达到了精密光学元件的加工水平,最终的面形精度为PV=25 nm,RMS=1.5 nm。该加工方法可以广泛应用于超薄光学元件的高精度加工。     

激光脉冲诱导损伤点对激光传输的影响

高能重复激光脉冲对光学元件损伤点的产生和扩展与损伤点对后续激光脉冲光强的调制作用密切相关。观察激光诱导K9玻璃的损伤点,发现损伤点是从里到外呈现辐射状分布,内部损伤程度最大,可致充分断裂;向外损伤程度减小,呈现辐射的应力相变,引起折射率变化;对损伤点的透射光谱检测发现其透过率下降大于20%,但是下降的幅度与波长无关,说明充分断裂的材料会对激光进行充分吸收,类似黑体吸收,其对入射光的吸收只与损伤点的面积有关。CCD对激光通过损伤点后的光强分布探测发现： 在激光能量传输过程中,损伤点会导致光强分布的不均匀,存在明显的散射效应,这会引起激光光强分布的不均匀性,导致损伤区域的进一步扩散。     

Optical properties of a-C:H:Si films and their structural modifications

The measurement data on visible and UV light reflection spectra of diamondlike a-C:H:Si films and their structural modifications caused by electrical influences in a scanning probe microscope (SPM)-lithograph are presented. Numerical evaluations of the experimental data, taking into account interference effects, show that modification is of the bulk character and causes a change in the material refractive index from n ∼ 2.2 to ∼ 1.5. A decrease in the optical density of the modified material is attributed to an increase in the film porosity in the region of SPM influences.     

Photo- and thermally induced interdiffusion in Se/As2S3 nanomultilayers prepared by pulsed laser deposition and thermal evaporation

The effects of light- and thermally stimulated interdiffusion in Se/As2S3 nanomultilayers (NML) with modulation period of 6–9 nm fabricated by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and by the method of cyclic thermal evaporation (CTE) of the Se and As2S3 components were investigated by means of direct low-angle X-ray diffraction (LAXRD) measurements and by indirect methods of optical measurements. More pronounced nano-granular structure is characteristic for PLD samples but at the same time the interfaces are essentially sharpened, the periodicity and the initial blue-shift of the optical absorption edge are better in comparison with CTE samples. Somewhat less efficient interdiffusion and changes of optical parameters i.e. amplitude-phase recording in PLD samples in comparison with CTE ones may be caused by different deposition conditions, ratio of sub-layer's thickness and their structure, eventually by changes in chemical composition.
