Characterization of freeform optics in automotive lighting systems using an Optical-Geometrical Feature Based Method

The use of freeform optics has been more widespread. It is difficult to evaluate the optical performance of the freeform optics due to its geometrical complexity. This paper presents a novel method named Optical-Geometrical Feature Based Method (OGFM) for the characterization of freeform optics. The method attempts to establish the relationship between the geometrical features of freeform surfaces (e.g. the surface roughness and form error) and their corresponding optical performance. Hence, the optical performance of the freeform optics can be evaluated by the measurement of the geometrical features which is relative easy to be carried out as compared to the optical performance tests conducted in automotive lighting systems. A series of simulation experiments have been conducted on the freeform optics in an automotive lighting system. The results show that the geometrical errors in micrometer scale appear not to have significant effect on the optical performance of the freeform optics. However, the optical performance is adversely affected when the geometrical form error increases from more than tens of micrometers scale to sub-millimeters scale. The successful development of the proposed OGFM provides an important means for the optimization of manufacturing tolerance, the selection of appropriate optics manufacturing process, and the evaluation of the optical performance evaluation of the freeform optics.

Hybrid diffractive-refractive 67°-diagonal field of view optical see-through head-mounted display

Design of a wide-angle off-axis optical see-through head-mounted display (HMD) becomes a challenge since its weight and size are constrained by human factors. Diffractive optics has the potential to play a key role in several areas of head-mounted display. They can reduce size and weight while providing some unique functions that would be difficult to implement with conventional refractive optics. This paper presents a 67°-diagonal field of view, wide spectral band hybrid diffractive-refractive see-through head-mounted display (HMD) using off-axis optics. It possesses a 10 mm exit pupil and a 22 mm eye relief, and satisfies the requirements of human factors. The whole optical system is suitable for a 20 mm-diagonal color liquid crystal display (LCD) with XGA resolution.     

软X射线全息平焦场光栅的条纹弯曲现象及其对光谱分辨率的影响

软X射线平焦场光栅光谱仪是等离子体诊断的重要仪器,其核心光学元件全息平焦场光栅通常采用非球面波记录光路制作,因此光栅条纹存在弯曲的现象.光栅条纹的弯曲会影响光谱成像质量,从而影响系统的光谱分辨率.记录光路的优化,只保证光栅子午面的线密度分布,因此优化的记录光路并不是惟一的,所以在保证子午面的线密度分布的同时能制作具有不同弯曲程度条纹的光栅.针对应用于0.8—6 nm的全息平焦场光栅,利用光线追迹方法分析了不同弯曲程度条纹光栅的光谱成像,发现采用柱面反射镜制作的接近于直条纹的光栅具有较好的光谱成像质量.相对于弯曲条纹的光栅,接近于直条纹的光栅理论光谱分辨率有明显的提高,入射波长为3 nm时,光谱分辨率从626提升到953,入射波长为5 nm时,光谱分辨率从635提高到1222.     

Carbon contamination of soft X‐ray beamlines: dramatic anti‐reflection coating effects observed in the 1 keV photon energy region

Carbon contamination is a general problem of under‐vacuum optics submitted to high fluence. In soft X‐ray beamlines carbon deposit on optics is known to absorb and scatter radiation close to the C K‐edge (280 eV), forbidding effective measurements in this spectral region. Here the observation of strong reflectivity losses is reported related to carbon deposition at much higher energies around 1000 eV, where carbon absorptivity is small. It is shown that the observed effect can be modelled as a destructive interference from a homogeneous carbon thin film.     

General formulation of the edge-diffracted paraxial waves

A general formula for edge-diffracted paraxial waves is derived in terms of the Fourier integral transform. It is observed that the scattered paraxial wave can be divided into components of the geometrical optics and diffracted fields in the spectral domain. An edge-diffracted Gaussian beam is examined numerically as an application of the formula.     

Darboux Transformation and Explicit Solutions for Discretized Modified Korteweg-de Vries Lattice Equation

The modified Korteweg-de Vries （mKdV） typed equations can be used to describe certain nonlinear phenomena in fluids, plasmas, and optics. In this paper, the discretized mKdV lattice equation is investigated. With the aid of symbolic computation, the discrete matrix spectral problem for that system is constructed. Darboux transformation for that system is established based on the resulting spectral problem. Explicit solutions are derived via the Darboux transformation. Structures of those solutions are shown graphically, which might be helpful to understand some physical processes in fluids, plasmas, and optics.

They have been realised experimentally and the resulting ARCs are found to have very good spectral and durability properties.     

Spatial light modulator as a reconfigurable intracavity dispersive element for tunable lasers

An improved approach for narrow-band wavelength selection in tunable lasers is described. To provide the tunability, a reconfigurable diffractive optical element (DOE) based on a programmable spatial light modulator (PSLM) is applied. With a proper choice of the phase transfer function of the PSLM, the device can be used as a dispersive intra-cavity component for precise tuning within the lasing spectral band of a solid-state dye laser. The suggested design allows avoiding the mechanical movement of any cavity components. The tunability performance and simulation are demonstrated using the Fourier optics method.

Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography with a Fresnel spectrometer

We propose a novel spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) equipped with a Fresnel spectrometer, which utilizes a Fresnel zone plate (FZP) as both dispersion and focusing optics and thus spreads the spectral interferogram evenly in wavenumber domain because of the proportional relation between the focal length of the FZP and the wavenumber. With no need of the conversion calculation from wavelength to wavenumber in conventional SD-OCT, this new design is favorable for fast imaging with high resolution. As only a FZP and CCD are used, the Fresnel spectrometer is simple and compact. It is experimentally shown that its performance is as good as that of numerical interpolation in conventional SD-OCT. Imaging of bio-tissue by Fresnel SD-OCT is also demonstrated.

Optical axis jitter rejection for double overlapped adaptive optics systems

Optical axis jitters, or vibrations, which arise from wind shaking and structural oscillations of optical platforms, etc., cause a deleterious impact on the performance of adaptive optics systems. When conventional integrators are utilized to reject such high frequency and narrow-band disturbance, the benefits are quite small despite their acceptable capabilities to reject atmospheric turbulence. In our case, two suits of complete adaptive optics systems called double overlapped adaptive optics systems (DOAOS) are used to counteract both optical jitters and atmospheric turbulence. A novel algorithm aiming to remove vibrations is proposed by resorting to combine the Smith predictor and notch filer. With the help of loop shaping method, the algorithm will lead to an effective and stable controller, which makes the characteristics of error transfer function close to notch filters. On the basis of the spectral analysis of observed data, the peak frequency and bandwidth of vibrations can be identified in advance. Afterwards, the number of notch filters and their parameters will be determined using coordination descending method. The relationship between controller parameters and filtering features is discussed, and the robustness of the controller against varying parameters of the control object is investigated. Preliminary experiments are carried out to validate the proposed algorithms. The overall control performance of DOAOS is simulated. Results show that time delays are a limit of the performance, but the algorithm can be successfully implemented on our systems, which indicate that it has a great potential to reject jitters.
