Generation of Circular Optical Vortex Array

We report on a novel optical vortex array named circular optical vortex array, which is generated by the superposition of two concentric perfect optical vortices. The circular optical vortex array has a constant topological charge of +1 or ?1, the number and sign of which are determined by the topological charges of the two perfect optical vortices. Moreover, the radius of the circular optical vortex array is easily adjusted by using the cone angle of an axicon. Furthermore, the circular optical vortex array and multiple circular optical vortex array can be rotated by changing the initial phase difference of the perfect optical vortices on demand. This work demonstrates a complex structured optical field, which is of significance for applications such as optical tweezers, micro‐particle manipulation, and optical imaging.

Simulation of micro/nanometer-scale self-organized lightwave network (SOLNET) using the finite difference time domain method

A simulator for self-organized lightwave network (SOLNET) is developed. The simulator is based on the finite difference time domain method. SOLNET enables us to construct self-aligned coupling waveguides between misaligned micro/nanometer-scale optical devices by self-focusing, which arises from an increase in refractive index induced by write beams in photo-refractive materials. The SOLNET simulator reveals that an L-shaped nanometer-scale optical waveguide of SOLNET is grown from a 0.5-μm-wide optical waveguide when write beams are introduced from the optical waveguide into photo-refractive materials, where a wavelength filter is embedded. The SOLNET simulator also reproduces coupling path construction between a 2-μm-wide optical waveguide and a 0.5-μm-wide optical waveguide having a wavelength filter on the core edge. The optical waveguides are placed with misalignment of 0.5-μm offset. By introducing write beams from the 2-μm-wide optical waveguide, the incident write beams and reflected write beams from the wavelength filter merge into one optical waveguide in the photo-refractive materials, constructing a self-aligned coupling waveguide.

数值模拟高阶色散和非线性对光孤子传输的影响

光孤子传输中的高阶色散以及高次非线性效应是光纤通讯发展的重要制约因素。从光孤子在光纤中的一般传输方程出发, 在较大的入纤功率的前提下, 综合考虑了高阶色散、五次非线性和损耗因素, 得到其具体传输方程, 并据此从理论上分析了高阶色散和非线性对光孤子传输性能的影响。本文采用分步傅里叶方法, 以MATLAB为实现工具, 实现高阶色散和非线性对光孤子传输影响的模拟计算, 并深入分析了高阶色散和非线性导致的孤子脉冲频移现象。计算结果表明: 在入射功率较大的时候, 高阶色散效应不可忽略。当五次非线性γ2>0时,孤子脉冲主峰发生微小频移; 而当五次非线性γ2<0时, 孤子脉冲主峰基座产生微小频移; 当高阶色散β3>0时频率出现红移, 而当β3<0时, 频率出现蓝移。     

静态傅里叶变换红外光谱仪的公差分析

由于光谱分辨率或光谱信噪比只能作为光谱仪干涉系统的性能评价指标,但不能用于光学系统的公差分析与优化,所以将系统分为三个子系统:前置光学系统、干涉系统与后置光学系统,分别采用不同的评价标准分析系统公差。前置光学系统采用波像差为评价标准,给出波像差与光谱噪声的关系,分析误差对波像差的影响,间接给出各种误差对系统性能的影响。干涉系统直接采用光谱噪声作为评价标准,可直接给出各种误差对系统性能的影响。后置光学系统采用光斑尺寸作为评价标准。通过这种方法,计算出三个子系统的灵敏度矩阵,并且给出了前置光学系统与后置光学系统的公差分配。     

Investigation on performance of all optical buffer with large dynamical delay time based on cascaded double loop optical buffers

Optical buffers are critical for optical signal processing in future optical packet-switched networks. In this paper, a theoretical study as well as an experimental demonstration on a new optical buffer with large dynamical delay time is carried out based on cascaded double loop optical buffers (DLOBs). It is found that pulse distortion can be restrained by a negative optical control mode when the optical packet is in the loop. Noise analysis indicates that it is feasible to realise a large variable delay range by cascaded DLOBs. These conclusions are validated by the experiment system with 4-stage cascaded DLOBs. Both the theoretical simulations and the experimental results indicate that a large delay range of 1-9999 times the basic delay unit and a fine granularity of 25 ns can be achieved by the cascaded DLOBs. The performance of the cascaded DLOBs is suitable for the all optical networks.     

Using diffractograms to evaluate optical systems with coherent illumination

A new approach to measuring aberrations of an optical system with coherent illumination is introduced. The optical system is evaluated by use of a so-called weak phase object and by digital image recording and processing. Based on the contrast transfer function theory for coherent systems, the main aberrations of the optical system can be determined. This is a convenient approach to evaluating and measuring complex optical systems with numerous optical elements after assembly and can serve as a simple performance test of an optical instrument in the field.     

Fiber chromatic dispersion measurement based on wavelength-to-time mapping using a femtosecond pulse laser and an optical comb filter

A novel method for the measurement of chromatic dispersion of an optical fiber based on wavelength-to-time mapping using a femtosecond pulse laser (FSPL) and an optical comb filter is proposed and experimentally evaluated. In the proposed approach, the spectrum of an ultrashort optical pulse generated by an FSPL is sliced by an optical comb filter. The spectrum-sliced optical pulse is then coupled into the optical fiber under test. Thanks to the chromatic-dispersion-induced wavelength-to-time mapping in the optical fiber under test, a time-domain waveform similar to the sliced spectrum is generated at the output of the optical fiber, with different frequency components having different time delays. The time delay vs. frequency data are then recorded for the estimation of the chromatic dispersion by using least square fitting. Chromatic dispersions of two types of optical fibers with different lengths are tested. The measured dispersion values agree well with those measured by the conventional modulation phase shift (MPS) method.

Theoretical analysis of stack gas emission velocity measurement by optical scintillation

Theoretical analysis for an online measurement of the stack gas flow velocity based on the optical scintillation method with a structure of two parallel optical paths is performed. The causes of optical scintillation in a stack are first introduced. Then, the principle of flow velocity measurement and its mathematical expression based on cross correlation of the optical scintillation are presented. The field test results show that the flow velocity measured by the proposed technique in this article is consistent with the value tested by the Pitot tube. It verifies the effectiveness of this method. Finally, by use of the structure function of logarithmic light intensity fluctuations, the theoretical explanation of optical scintillation spec- tral characteristic in low frequency is given. The analysis of the optical scintillation spectrum provides the basis for the measurement of the stack gas flow velocity and particle concentration simultaneously.

A novel method of high resolution imaging through random perturbation wave front

A novel method is proposed for eliminating the effect of the traditional optical aberration on high resolution imaging by random perturbation wave front and digital image processing. A random phase mask, whose phase spectrum fluctuation is accordant with Kolmogorov distribution, is positioned near the aperture stop of optical system, making the optical aberration image become random perturbation image, that is, the intermediate image. The blind deconvolution algorithm based on maximum-likelihood estimation technique is used to restore the intermediate image acquired by a digital detector. The effects of optical aberrations and the noise on the restoration image are explored. To demonstrate the validity of the method proposed, the computer simulation and laboratory experiments are carried out for the imaging of the optical system with primary aberration. The results have shown that the present method is well suited for effectively improving the imaging quality of the optical system with certain aberration, thus making the optical system resolution close to or reach the diffraction-limit of the optical system.
