Far-field pattern analysis of 94 GHz extended hemispherical lens monopulse antennas

In this paper, the far-field patterns are investigated for double-slot antenna array placed on extended hemispherical lenses. The radiation patterns of the extended hemispherical lens fed by single double-slot antenna or double-slot antenna array are computed using ray-tracing inside the dielectric lens and electric and magnetic field integration on the spherical dielectric surface. The computation results show that the sharp null of the difference pattern is below -37dB.     

利于像差校正的共形整流罩内表面面形设计

共形光学系统中,椭球形等厚度整流罩使入射的平行光线经过整流罩后不再平行,变为发散的光线,进而使系统像差急剧增加,不利于后续像差的校正。通过对等厚度共形整流罩的内表面进行重新设计,打破了共形整流罩的等厚度条件,从而在使用较少校正光学透镜的基础上实现了系统像差的校正。通过分析不同级次非球面分别作为整流罩内表面面形时的像差校正效果,确定了将6次非球面作为共形整流罩内表面面形初始结构。通过对内表面进行优化设计,最终得到整流罩内表面面形。结果表明,该方法有效地减小了共形整流罩引入的像差。最后使用固定校正器对内表面变化后的整流罩进行了像差校正,设计结果表明,内表面的改变有效地减少了光学元件数量,消像差效果良好。     

Maximum time-resolved hemispherical reflectance of absorbing and isotropically scattering media

This paper presents a parametric study of the time-resolved hemispherical reflectance of a plane-parallel slab of homogeneous, cold, absorbing, and isotropically scattering medium exposed to a collimated Gaussian pulse. The front surface of the slab is transparent while the back surface is assumed to be cold and black. The 1-D time-dependent radiation transfer equation is solved using the modified method of characteristics. The parameters explored include (1) the optical thickness, (2) the single scattering albedo of the medium, and (3) the incident pulse width. The study pays particular attention to the maximum transient hemispherical reflectance and identifies optically thin and thick regimes. It shows that the maximum reflectance is independent of the optical thickness in the optically thick regime. In the optically thin regime, however, the maximum hemispherical reflectance depends on all three parameters explored. The transition between the optically thick and thin regimes occurs when the optical thickness is approximately equal to the dimensionless pulse width. Finally, correlations relating the maximum of the hemispherical reflectance as a function of the optical thickness, the single scattering albedo of the materials, and the incident pulse width have been developed. These correlations could be used to retrieve radiation characteristics or serve as initial guesses for more complex inversion schemes accounting for anisotropic scattering.     

Atmospheric aerosol limb scanning based on the lunar eclipses photometry

The work is devoted to the analysis of the surface photometric observations of two total lunar eclipses in 2004. The lunar surface relative brightness distribution inside the umbra was used to retrieve the vertical distribution of aerosol extinction of the solar radiation expanding by a tangent path and its dependence on the location at the limb of the Earth. The upper altitude of troposphere aerosol layer was estimated for different latitude zones. The correlation between additional aerosol extinction in the upper troposphere and cyclones was investigated.

Efficient radiation production in long implosions of structured gas-puff Z pinch loads from large initial radius

We have proposed and demonstrated successfully a new approach for generating high-yield K-shell radiation with large-diameter gas-puff Z pinches. The novel load design consists of an outer region plasma that carries the current and couples energy from the driver, an inner region plasma that stabilizes the implosion, and a high-density center jet plasma that radiates. It increased the Ar K-shell yield at 3.46 MA in 200 ns implosions from 12 cm initial diameter by a factor of 2, to 21 kJ, matching the yields obtained earlier on the same accelerator with 100 ns implosions. A new "pusher-stabilizer-radiator" physical model is advanced to explain this result.

Application of hemisphere radiation shields with temperature-dependent emissivity for reducing heat transfer between two concentric hemispheres

The radiation network method has been applied to calculate the net radiation heat transfer between two concentric hemispheres separated by two hemispherical radiation shields with temperature-dependent surface emissivities. Three different materials are chosen for radiation shields: aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and tungsten. The reduction in heat transfer with shields depends not only on the surface characteristics of the two shields, but also on the locations of the shields. Three illustrative examples are presented to illustrate the effects of temperature dependent emissivities and shield locations on the percentage heat transfer reduction. The analysis can be used to study other cases as warranted.     

Emergent intensity from a plane-parallel medium exposed to a Gaussian laser beam: A comparison of Rayleigh and isotropic scattering

The focus of this two-dimensional study is the radially varying intensity emergent from a plane-parallel scattering medium exposed to a collimated, Gaussian laser beam directed perpendicular to the upper surface. The method of analysis is the integral transform technique. Specifically, this work uses the generalized reflection and transmission functions from a previous study to construct the emergent intensity with the use of an inverse Hankel transform. Radially varying backscattered and transmitted intensities are calculated for media with isotropic and Rayleigh scattering phase functions and optical thicknesses that range from 0.125 to 8.0. The behavior of the emergent radiation inside and outside the beam is investigated for both narrow and wide beams. A new integration method is implemented to compute the emergent intensity at the beam center. The emergent intensity at the beam center is used to quantify when a one-dimensional model may be used. As expected, for small optical thicknesses and near the beam the phase function has significant influence, while far from the beam multiple scattering reduces the influence of the Rayleigh phase function. Results from this study will be useful in understanding and interpreting more complicated situations, such as those that include polarization.     

气动热环境下共形整流罩热辐射特性研究

高温整流罩产生强烈的红外辐射,在探测器接收面上形成背景噪声,严重影响成像质量。为了评估气动热环境下高速飞行器共形整流罩热辐射对探测器性能的影响,建立了气动热环境下整流罩热流固耦合计算模型、整流罩热辐射发射以及传输模型,计算了整流罩非均匀温度场、形变场、应力以及应变场,仿真得到了共形整流罩热辐射对高速飞行器光学系统成像质量的影响。研究结果表明:随着时间的不断增长,探测器接收面的最大辐照度也逐渐增大。在第10 s时,0°攻角下共形整流罩热干扰辐照度最小值为0.094 W/m2,最大值为0.108 W/m2。和相同工况下的共形整流罩相比,球形整流罩10 s时的最大辐照度分别是椭球面和抛物面形整流罩最大辐照度的近12倍和7倍,即共形整流罩产生的干扰对探测系统的影响较小,不会对探测器的探测性能产生致命性的影响。     

Goos-Hänchen induced vector eigenmodes in a dome cavity

We demonstrate numerically calculated electromagnetic eigenmodes of a 3D dome cavity resonator that owe their shape and character entirely to the Goos-H?nchen effect. The V-shaped modes, which have purely TE or TM polarization, are well described by a 2D billiard map with the Goos-H?nchen shift included. A phase space plot of this augmented billiard map reveals a saddle-node bifurcation; the stable periodic orbit that is created in the bifurcation corresponds to the numerically calculated eigenmode, dictating the angle of its 'V.' A transition from a fundamental Gaussian to a TM V mode has been observed as the cavity is lengthened to become nearly hemispherical.     

二次曲面共形整流罩像差影响因素分析

传统整流罩为半球形或半球形的一部分,产生的空气阻力较大,不利于武器飞行速度的提高。基于空气动力学性能的考虑,采用共形整流罩的光学技术被提出。文章描述了二次曲面共形整流罩外表面、内表面的设计方法及面型表达式,通过在CODEV中建立共形整流罩的扫描成像模型,应用Zernike多项式分解法研究了不同长径比、边缘斜率、口径比和回转中心位置对离焦像差(Z4)、像散(Z5)、彗差(Z8)和球差(Z9)的影响规律。研究结果表明:二次曲面共形整流罩引入的离焦像差、像散、彗差和球差均随着长径比、边缘斜率和口径比的增加而增大,但对成像系统回转中心的位置不敏感。因此,在满足武器的空气动力学性能条件下应尽量减小长径比、边缘斜率和口径比,回转中心的位置主要根据结构需要进行设计。

Lunar soil as shielding against space radiation

We have measured the radiation transport and dose reduction properties of lunar soil with respect to selected heavy ion beams with charges and energies comparable to some components of the galactic cosmic radiation (GCR), using soil samples returned by the Apollo missions and several types of synthetic soil glasses and lunar soil simulants. The suitability for shielding studies of synthetic soil and soil simulants as surrogates for lunar soil was established, and the energy deposition as a function of depth for a particular heavy ion beam passing through a new type of lunar highland simulant was measured. A fragmentation and energy loss model was used to extend the results over a range of heavy ion charges and energies, including protons at solar particle event (SPE) energies. The measurements and model calculations indicate that a modest amount of lunar soil affords substantial protection against primary GCR nuclei and SPE, with only modest residual dose from surviving charged fragments of the heavy beams.     

On the scattering of cascade radio emission by rough lunar surface during radiation emergence into vacuum

The scattering of the radio emission of an almost horizontal cascade by the rough lunar surface during radiation emergence into vacuum is considered in the Born approximation. The point approximation for the shower disk size is considered taking into account its evolution along the track. The lunar surface was set either as a sinusoidal one in the directions perpendicular to and coinciding with the shower disk velocity or as having an arbitrary shape at the point of particle incidence. Scattering associated with wave phase increment and with variations of slope of the normal to the rough surface for various rays forming the total field of the scattered wave is considered.     

Gravitational radiation from a rotating protoneutron star

This paper discusses the gravitational radiation that accompanies the formation of a rotating protoneutron star. Mainly large-scale entropy inhomogeneities develope inside the star. As a result, bubbles of hot nuclear substance are formed, and convective motions arise: bubbles of hot neutron matter float to the surface of the star, while cold matter sinks to its center. Such large-scale motions of material give rise to an inhomogeneous mass distribution inside the star. Variable asymmetry appears in the mass distribution, and this causes gravitational radiation.

Boundary-value problems in near-field optical microscopy and optical size resonances

We have solved a boundary-value problem for a ball probe interacting with a flat dielectric surface in an external optical radiation field. This interaction gives rise to the optical size resonance at frequencies significantly different from the natural frequencies of two-level atoms both in the medium and in the probe with allowance for the local field corrections. These resonances depend significantly on the distance from the probe center to the surface, on the ball probe size, on the concentration of two-level atoms in the probe and in the medium, on the spectral line width, and on the atomic inversion. The field strengths inside and outside the ball probe and a semiinfinite dielectric medium have been calculated in the near-field and wave zones. It is shown that the proposed electrodynamic theory of optical near-field microscopy agrees with the results of experimental measurements.
