部分空间相干和部分光谱相干厄米-高斯脉冲光束的焦场的相干特性

从部分相干光的传输理论出发,采用傅里叶变换法,推导出聚焦部分空间相干部分光谱相干厄米一高斯脉冲光束的光谱和光谱相干度的解析表达式,并用以研究了聚焦场的相干特性．研究结果表明,聚焦光束的光谱相干度与空间相关长度、时间相干长度和光束阶数有关．时间相干长度的减小将引起光谱相干度的减小,但光谱相干度的空间分布特性不受影响．随着光束阶数的增大,光谱相干度会出现振荡,且光束阶数越大,空间相关长度越小,振荡越明显．     

非均匀关联径向偏振部分相干光的产生

从理论和实验两方面对非均匀关联径向偏振部分相干光的产生进行了研究.理论上,基于相位关联与相干度的联系,推导出了非均匀关联径向偏振部分相干光的2×2阶交叉谱密度矩阵及相干度分布.实验上,利用一个相位型液晶空间光调制器的不同区域,对入射的完全相干的径向偏振光的两个正交偏振分量分别加载随机相位调制,并实验测量了这种光束的相干度分布及其对光强分布的影响.实验结果验证了光束相干度的非均匀关联结构,并且通过改变随机相位的高斯调制半宽可以改变光束的相干性分布.研究表明,随着随机相位的高斯调制半宽的增加,光束中两点间的相干度逐渐减小,其光强分布由圆环状逐渐变化为类平顶的光强分布.这种非均匀关联的径向偏振部分相干光在激光微操纵和材料加工等领域具有一定的潜在应用价值.     

聚焦部分相干涡旋光束的焦移

基于部分相干光的传输理论获得了部分相干涡旋光束被光阑透镜聚焦后的传输方程。基于这些方程研究了部分相干涡旋光束的焦移现象。研究结果表明,部分相干涡旋光束的焦移不仅依赖于菲涅耳数,而且依赖于光束的相干长度和涡旋光束的拓扑荷数。菲涅耳数越小,焦移量越大;部分相干涡旋光束的相干长度越小,焦移量越大;涡旋光束的拓扑荷数越大,焦移量越大。     

聚焦部分相干涡旋光束的传输和相干特性

根据部分相干光的传输理论,研究了部分相干高斯-贝塞尔涡旋光束通过光阑透镜聚焦后的传输和空间相关性质.数值计算结果表明,涡旋暗核的大小和焦平面上的光谱相干度都取决于入射光的拓扑电荷n、截断参量δ、相对相干长度σg和参量α.当选择适当的参量,在几何焦点附近会出现局域空心光束.研究还发现在焦面上光谱相干度会产生一个或多个的相位奇点(相干涡旋),而且拓扑电荷和相对相干长度会对相干涡旋的位置和个数产生影响.在相干极限下,相干涡旋可逐渐演变为光学涡旋.     

部分相干涡旋光束在大气湍流中的远场传输特性

运用广义惠更斯-菲涅耳原理,详细研究了部分相干涡旋光束在湍流介质中的远场传输规律.研究表明,部分相干涡旋光束的光谱相干度及光强分布与光束的拓扑电荷数、空间相对相干长度及湍流介质的折射率结构常数等因素有关.在湍流介质中,光谱相干度存在相位奇点,并且随着空间相对相干长度的增大,相干涡旋逐渐演化为强度涡旋,而湍流介质的强弱对部分相干涡旋光束的影响则相反,随着湍流介质的折射率常数的增大,强度涡旋逐渐演化为相干涡旋.     

平顶高斯超短脉冲激光的时间部分相干性对相干合成的影响

 利用准单色光干涉理论,计算了2×2平顶高斯超短脉冲激光在远场的干涉图样,分析了激光的时间部分相干性及其存在束间相位差时对相干合成的影响。计算结果表明,当单路激光输出光束线宽小于100 nm时,理想波前的远场光斑图样和峰值光强基本保持不变,当光束线宽大于100 nm时,干涉减弱衍射效应逐渐增强;光束间存在相位差时,时间部分相干性将破坏远场图样随束间相位差的周期性变化,相位差越大干涉越弱;当超过相干长度时,则为非相干合成,但1/6倍相干长度范围内,仍可视为较理想的相干合成,此时焦斑的斯特列尔比大于0.9,对超短脉冲的相干合成影响可忽略。

部分相干椭球光笼

 从理论上研究部分相干光束经透镜聚焦的三维光强分布。研究结果表明,在几何焦点附近的光强分布不仅依赖于入射部分相干光束的光强分布,而且还依赖于入射光束的空间相干度。基于这一点,提出了一种控制部分相干光束的空间相干度,在几何焦点附近获得了类似椭球光笼形状的光强分布的新方法。通过控制入射部分相干光的空间相干度,来改变聚焦在几何焦点附近的三维光强分布,从而获得希望得到的光强分布。     

强非局域非线性介质中的非相干孤子研究

本文从一维强非局域非线性模型出发,推导出非相干光满足的非线性薛定谔方程.按照相干密度描述方法,写出非相干光的描述方式,求出了非相干光孤子的形成条件和孤子形式,还得到了相干光和非相干光在强非局域非线性介质中形成孤子的临界功率,结果说明非相干光形成孤子时,需要更高的能量.当非相干光孤子的条件不满足时,非相干光束以呈现振荡行为.空间振荡周期仅与介质、入射的非相干光的光功率有关,而与光源的非相干角功率谱宽度及具体组分无关.同时,我们还数值模拟了这种非相干光束的振荡行为和单一组分、一对组分的非相干强度演化过程.     

Coherent population control and three-pulse photon echoes: Their dependence on phase of excitation pulse

We discuss analytically here coherent population control and photon echoes of two-level atoms excited by two excitation pulses of different characteristics: (i) the excitation pulses with the same carrier-envelope phases and (ii) the excitation pulses, which are obtained by intensity-modulation of a continuous-wave laser beam and are free from incidental phase- and frequency-modulation. A perturbative calculation, which includes the effect of relaxations during pulse excitations shows that both the coherently controlled population and the echo field show considerably different behaviors depending on the characteristics of the excitation pulses. We also find that the peak position of the echo field can be controlled by adjusting the pulse widths of the excitation pulses.     

Coherent control via interplay between driving field and two-body interaction in a double well

We investigate interplay between external field and interatomic interaction and its applications to coherent control of quantum tunneling for two repulsive bosons confined in a high-frequency driven double well. By using a full solution which is generated analytically as a coherent non-Floquet state, three kinds of the stationary-like states (SLSs) with different degeneracies are illustrated, which corresponding to the different coherent destructions of tunneling (CDT) at the Floquet level-crossing, avoided-crossing and uncrossing points. The analytical results are numerically confirmed and perfect agreements are found. Based on the results, a useful scheme of quantum tunneling switch between the SLSs is presented.     

On nonlinear coherent states properties for electron-phonon dynamics

This work addresses a construction of a dual pair of nonlinear coherent states (NCS) in the context of changes of bases in the underlying Hilbert space for a model pertaining to an electron-phonon model in the condensed matter physics, obeying a f-deformed Heisenberg algebra. The existence and properties of reproducing kernel in the NCS Hilbert space are studied and discussed; the probability density and its dynamics in the basis of constructed coherent states are provided. A Glauber-Sudarshan P-representation of the density matrix and relevant issues related to the reproducing kernel properties are presented. Moreover, a NCS quantization of classical phase space observables is performed and illustrated in a concrete example of q-deformed coherent states. Finally, an exposition of quantum optical properties is given.     

Coherent backscattering of singular beams

The phenomenon of coherent backscattering depends on both the statistical characteristics of a random scattering medium and the correlation features of the incident field. Imposing a wavefront singularity on the incident field offers a unique and very attractive way to modify the field correlations in a deterministic manner. The field correlations are found to act as a path-length filter which modifies the distribution of different contributions to the enhancement cone. This effect is thoroughly discussed and demonstrated experimentally for the case of single scale scattering systems.     

高功率光纤激光的时间部分相干性对相干合成的影响

 将多个光纤激光器的输出光束进行相干合成是获得高功率、高光束质量激光的有效途径。利用准部分相干光(PPCB)模型，计算了高功率光纤激光器阵列发出的部分相干光在远场的能量分布，分析了激光的时间部分相干性对相干合成的影响。计算结果表明，随着单根激光器输出光束线宽的增大，远场光斑的图样基本保持不变，但峰值功率和Strehl比随之减小。对于采用的算例，要保证远场光斑的Strehl比大于0.8，单根光纤激光器的线宽不能超过5 nm。     

Dynamical Properties of Coherent Plasmons Coupled with LO Phonons in an InAs/GaAs Strained Superlattice

We have investigated the coherent plasmon photoexcited in the electron miniband of an InAs/GaAs strained superlattice (SL) using a reflection-type pump-probe technique. Under the condition that the center energy of the pump pulses is tuned to the fundamental transition energy of the SL, the coherent plasmon coupled with the longitudinal optical (LO) phonon of GaAs that is the barrier layer is observed. The time-domain signals of the coherent plasmon coupled with the GaAs-like LO phonon drastically change with varying the generation and detection energies. From the energy dependence of the time-domain signals, we discuss the relaxation process of the carriers photoexcited in the miniband of the SL.     

Enhanced backscattering of vortex waves from volume scattering media

The effect of phase vortices on the enhanced coherent backscattering from volume scattering media is studied theoretically and experimentally. The experimental results are well described by a theoretical model based on the diffusion approximation corrected for small path lengths contributions. Based on this approach, a self-referencing method for measuring the optical characteristics of a multiple scattering medium can be developed.     

Incoherent and coherent backscattering of light by a layer of densely packed random medium

The problem of light scattering by a layer of densely packed discrete random medium is considered. The theory of light scattering by systems of nonspherical particles is applied to derive equations corresponding to incoherent (diffuse) and interference parts of radiation reflected from the medium. A solution of the system of linear equations describing light scattering by a system of particles is represented by iteration. It is shown that the symmetry properties of the T-matrices and of the translation coefficients for the vector Helmholtz harmonics lead to the reciprocity relation for an arbitrary iteration. This relation is applied to consider the backscattering enhancement phenomenon. Equations expressing the incoherent and interference parts of reflected light from statistically homogeneous and isotropic plane-parallel layer of medium are given. In the exact backscattering direction the relation between incoherent and interference parts is identical to that of sparse media.     

Single frequency lasing using coherent combining

We show that by coherently combining several solid state lasers it is possible to obtain a single frequency output. This is experimentally demonstrated by coherently combining four Nd:YAG lasers channels, each with a properly chosen cavity length, in order to suppress unwanted longitudinal modes and obtain a single frequency output. We also present a model that accurately predicts and supports out experimental results.
