Focusing of longitudinal ultrasonic waves in air with an aperiodic flat lens

Modeling and experimental results of an ultrasonic aperiodic flat lens for use in air are presented. Predictive modeling of the lens is performed using a hybrid genetic-greedy algorithm constrained to a linear structure. The optimized design parameters are used to fabricate a lens. A method combining a fiber-disk arrangement and scanning laser vibrometer measurements is developed to characterize the acoustic field distribution generated by the lens. The focal spot size is determined to be 0.88 of the incident wavelength of 80-90 kHz at a distance of 2.5 mm from the lens. Theoretically computed field distributions, optimized frequency of operation, and spatial resolution focal length are compared with experimental measurements. The differences between experimental measurements and the theoretical computations are analyzed. The theoretical calculation of the focal spot diameter is 1.7 mm which is 48% of the experimental measurement at a frequency of 80-90 kHz. This work illustrates the capabilities of a hybrid algorithm approach to design of flat acoustic lenses to operate in air with a resolution of greater than the incident wavelength and the challenges of characterizing acoustic field distribution in air.     

Overcoming the diffraction limit in wave physics using a time-reversal mirror and a novel acoustic sink

In recent years, time-reversal (TR) mirrors have been developed that create TR waves for ultrasonic transient fields propagating through complex media. A TR wave back propagates and refocuses exactly at its initial source. However, because of diffraction, even if the source is pointlike the wave refocuses on a spot size that cannot be smaller than half a wavelength. Here, by using a TR interpretation of this limit, we show that this latter limitation can be overcome if the source is replaced by its TR image. This new device acts as an acoustic sink that absorbs the TR wave. Here we report the first experimental result obtained with an acoustic sink where a focal spot size of less than 1/14th of one wavelength is recorded.     

影响空间变化偏振矢量光束强聚焦后焦斑移位的因素

利用衍射积分公式数值模拟了不同阶次的空间变化偏振矢量贝塞尔高斯(BG)光束经过强聚焦系统后在焦点附近的强度分布。数值结果显示空间变化偏振矢量BG光束聚焦后在光束传播轴负方向存在焦斑移位现象,其焦斑移位的大小与光束的模阶次、光束宽度、波长以及局部偏振状态密切相关。矢量光束偏振态的变化依靠液晶相位延迟器(LCVR)的相位延迟角度来控制,由于LCVR的相位延迟角度可以在0～π之间连续变化,从而改变光束的局部偏振状态,间接实现了对矢量光束焦斑移位大小的实时控制,在光学微操纵领域具有潜在的应用价值。     

Fabrication of a binary diffractive lens for controlling the luminous intensity distribution of LED light

To control the luminous intensity of an light-emitting diode (LED), we designed and fabricated a binary diffractive lens by electron beam lithography on a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film. We showed that it is possible to control luminous intensity distribution using the binary diffractive lens. To improve the diffraction efficiency, we then designed a binary blazed diffractive lens with a focal length of 140 mm. With a binary blazed diffractive lens having a focal wavelength of the order of micrometers, it is possible to create a small, thin light source for controlling the distribution of luminous intensity.     

Focusing property of a double-ring-shaped radially polarized beam

The intensity distributions of a tightly focused radially polarized beam that has a double-ring-shaped transverse mode pattern were calculated based on vector diffraction theory. The distribution of the longitudinal component near the focus varied drastically with the degree of truncation of the incident beam by a pupil. When the ratio of the pupil radius to the beam radius was approximately 1.3, the longitudinal component disappeared at the focal point, owing to destructive interference. This dark area surrounded by an intense light field was of the order of the wavelength, with excellent intensity symmetry.     

线性偏振光激发的错位表面等离子体激元纳米结构聚焦

利用扫描近场光学显微镜观测并分析了两种表面等离子体激元纳米结构对表面等离子体激元(SPP)的激发和聚焦现象.用线偏振光照射有半个周期相位差的环状沟槽结构与有半个周期位相差的环状狭缝结构,得到了单点的SPP聚焦.有限时域差分法的模拟结果验证了实验中观测的现象.这两种相位错位的表面等离子体激元纳米结构,突破了由于干涉导致的线偏振光不能得到单个聚焦点的限制.与采用径向偏振光激发而得到单个聚焦点的方法相比,线偏振光不需要聚焦,也不需要将光束中心对准纳米结构的几何中心即可得到单点聚焦。     

Extending the depth of focus with high NA lens axicon

Based on vectorial Debye theory, tight focusing of x-polarized beam with high NA lens axicon is studied. The high NA lens axicon utilizes spherical aberration to duplicate the performance of an axicon and to create an extended focal line. The intensity distribution in the focal region is illustrated by numerical calculations. We show that the high NA lens axicon system can generates a sub wavelength beam (0.826λ) with depth of focus around 10λ.

Tight Focusing of Radially and Azimuthally Polarized Vortex Beams through a Dielectric Interface

Based on vectorial Debye theory, tight focusing of radially and azimuthally polarized vortex beams passing through a dielectric interface are studied. The intensity distribution in the focal region is illustrated by numerical calculations. We show the influence of numerical-aperture （NA） on the full-width at half maximum （FWHM） of the focal spot or the focal hole. It has been found that compared with the azimuthally polarized Besse~Gaussian （BG） beams, the longitudinal component in the z direction of the radially polarized BG beams has no influence on the FWHM of the focal spot and hole, but enhances the total light intensity.     

Optical path difference evaluation of the polarization interference imaging spectrometer

The optical path difference (OPD) of the static polarization interference imaging spectrometer and wide-field-of-view polarization interference imaging spectrometer are calculated and analyzed, simultaneously. The analysis results show that the actual total OPD contains two parts, the Savart polariscope introduces the first part, and the second part is introduced when imaging lens reunites two beams in its focal plane. Since the first part OPD accounts for about half of the actual total OPD, it has influences on the resulting spectrum and thus cannot be neglected. The influences of the uniaxial crystal dispersion on the OPD and resulting spectrum are analyzed, and the results show that the OPD decreased with the wavelength, the spectral resolution increased with the wavelength. There are no fixed spectral resolution over the entire detection spectral region, and the spectral resolution would become worse with the increase of the wavelength.

The generation and utilisation of half‐cycle cut‐offs in high harmonic spectra

High‐order harmonic spectra are composed of a coherent sum of half‐cycle emissions, the cut‐off energy of which depend sensitively on different sub‐cycle portions of the driving laser field. By selecting the correct focal geometry the half‐cycle cut‐off emissions can be preferentially selected over the lower energy plateau emissions through phase matching, such that they form macroscopic half‐cycle cut‐off features in the far‐field spectrum. The energy of these macroscopic half‐cycle cut‐offs can then be used to retrieve the waveform of the driving laser field. The processes through which these macroscopic half‐cycle cut‐offs are formed and their applications, both for measuring the laser waveform and the generation of wavelength tunable isolated attosecond pulses, are reviewed in detail.     

Focusing properties of Gaussian beam by a nonspiral phase plate system

In this article, a nonspiral plate is investigated numerically by vector diffraction theory to observe the focusing properties of Gaussian beams. Both low- and high-numerical-aperture (NA) optical systems are considered in the investigation. It is found that the parameter of NA and the phase vary rate of the phase plate influence the focal intensity distribution considerably. When a nonspiral plate is used to provide linear phase variation on one half of the Gaussian beam, it may adjust the focal spot considerably and conveniently. Changing the vary rate of the phase plate or the parameter of NA can alter optical intensity distribution; some novel focal spots and focal switch may also occur.     

915 nm宽条形半导体激光器输出特性

为了研究温升对915 nm宽条形应变量子阱半导体激光器输出特性的影响,搭建了基于半导体制冷片(TEC)的双向温控平台对其进行了测试。首先,改变激光器的外表面温度,测量其在不同注入电流时的光功率和波长,并利用CCD相机测量其慢轴发散角。然后,利用计算机仿真软件对激光器的工作状态进行稳态模拟,从而获得了其对应的热分布情况,通过将模拟得到的数据与实验测量的结果进行比较,获得了两者趋于一致的结论:当热功率从2.1 W升高至20.0 W时,慢轴发散角从2.6°增大至5.0°,同时波长发生红移,热透镜焦距减小;激光器波长随温度变化关系的系数约为0.4 nm/℃,器件热阻为1.5 K/W。因此,为了同时获得高的输出功率和稳定的输出波长,有必要将激光器外表面温度精确控制在某一数值,否则波长将会发生漂移;此外,在设计制作高功率半导体激光器时,通过适当增加条宽并采用散热良好的封装结构,可以减小对慢轴发散角的影响。     

Smallest focal hole

We study theoretically routes toward the most confined dark channel that can be obtained using high angular aperture focusing. One possible solution is to use a radially polarized beam combined with an optical singularity. Another possibility is to use an azimuthally polarized light beam combined with an annular aperture or a phase filter. Our results suggest that a focal hole of full-width at half maximum of approximately 0.3λ₀/NA is achievable, where λ₀ is the wavelength in vacuum and NA is the numerical aperture of the focusing system. Finally, we show that by letting a phase-shifted plane wave and a focused scalar wave interfere only one point in the focal plane will exhibit zero intensity. Advantages and disadvantages of the schemes are discussed.
