Generation of sub-half-wavelength micro-optical traps by dichroic evanescent standing waves

The bi-dimensional optical lattices formed by several sets of laser evanescent standing waves propagating at the surface of a dielectric prism are investigated. The characteristics of the optical traps including their depths and the sizes are analysed. It is shown that the micro-optical lattice with a sub-half-wavelength size can be achieved by the interference of the selected evanescent waves. The scheme together with the recently developed atomic chip may be used for atomic quantum manipulation.     

Three-dimensional micro-optical components embedded in photosensitive glass by a femtosecond laser

We show that three-dimensional micro-optical components can be embedded in a photosensitive glass by a femtosecond (fs) laser. After exposure to the tightly focused fs laser beam, latent images are written inside the sample. Modified regions are developed by a postbaking process and then preferentially etched away in a 10%-dilute solution of hydrofluoric acid. After this process, hollow internal structures are formed that act as a mirror and a beam splitter. Furthermore, we find that postannealing smoothes the surfaces of the fabricated hollow structures, resulting in great improvement of their optical properties.

High sensitivity gas spectroscopy of porous, highly scattering solids

We present minimalistic and cost-efficient instrumentation employing tunable diode laser gas spectroscopy for the characterization of porous and highly scattering solids. The sensitivity reaches 3 x 10(-6) (absorption fraction), and the improvement with respect to previous work in this field is a factor of 10. We also provide the first characterization of the interference phenomenon encountered in high-resolution spectroscopy of turbid samples. Revealing that severe optical interference originates from the samples, we discuss important implications for system design. In addition, we introduce tracking coils and sample rotation as new and efficient tools for interference suppression. The great value of the approach is illustrated in an application addressing structural properties of pharmaceutical materials.     

Manifestation of gyrotropy upon light scattering in paratellurite

Upon scattering of laser radiation at different wavelengths, three optical effects—rotation of the plane of polarization of linearly polarized light, dependence of the specific rotation on the radiation wavelength, and the dependence of the scattered light intensity on the angle between the scattered and incident beams—are simultaneously observed. The intensity distributions of the scattered laser light at 0.488, 0.531 nm, and 0.633 μm along the optical axis of a thick sample of a TeO₂ single crystal are visualized. Based on the patterns obtained, the values of the specific rotation are calculated, and the curve of the optical rotation for the visible range is obtained.

Manipulation of cross-linked micro/nanopatterns on ZnO by adjusting the femtosecond-laser polarizations of four-beam interference

We report the fabrication of cross-linked micro/nanopatterns on ZnO by adjusting the femtosecond-laser polarizations of four-beam interference. The micro/nanopatterns are composed of two types of patterns with vertically oriented and horizontally oriented ripples, respectively. The relative locations, ablation depths and the nanoripple distributions of the two patterns can be manipulated by adjusting the laser polarizations. Theoretical calculations of the interference patterns indicate clearly that the micropatterns are determined by the interferential intensity patterns, while the nanopatterns depend on the interferential polarization patterns. The micro/nanopatterns have potential applications in micro-optical polarization diffraction elements by virtue of femtosecond-laser-induced anisotropy.     

Optical structures formed by combined field transformations in a nonlinear interferometer

By means of a numerical experiment, an investigation was carried out of the characteristics for generating optical structures in a Fizeau interferometer with Kerr nonlinearity under the effect of combined large-scale transformation of the optical field in the feedback profile by: shifting the interferometer mirror, rotation of the optical field, and compression (expansion) of the laser beam. New types of structures are predicted. From the scale of these listed effects it is established that the combined effect of all three factors is not limited to the sum of their effects. An explanation for the specific structure formations is proposed. Analogs to these rules can be found in the results of actual experiments.Tomsk State University.

Position-controlled and catalyst-free growth of ZnO nanocrystals by nanoparticle-assisted pulsed laser deposition

We have synthesized ZnO nanocrystals, such as nanowires, nanorods, and nanosheets, using a nanoparticle-assisted pulsed laser deposition (NAPLD) method. Recently, we achieved position-controlled growth of the ZnO nanocrystals by means of a ZnO buffer layer and laser irradiation without any catalyst. The periodic structure was formed on the ZnO buffer layer by multi-beam interference patterning, and then vertically aligned ZnO nanowalls, corresponding to the patterning, were grown on the buffer layer. It was found that the periodic ZnO nanowalls grew along the c-axis direction by X-ray diffraction measurement. The well-aligned ZnO nanowalls are expected to be utilized as building blocks for field emitters and UV LEDs. The proposed technique can be used as one of the effective methods to control the growth position of the ZnO nanocrystals because various structures can be easily fabricated by a laser writing and a spatial light modulator.

Volume growth initiated by point-to-point ultraviolet-laser direct writing in hybrid solgel glass for three-dimensional microfabrication

Volume-growth solgel glass acting as self-developing material is used for three-dimensional (3D) fabrication of micro-optical elements. The solgel glass is exposed to a focused laser beam (lambda = 325 nm), and surface corrugation is created as a result of surface expansion in the exposed area. The profile depth is related to the laser beam intensity, which is controlled by an acousto-optic modulator, which makes it possible to fabricate 3D structures in the material. Preliminary results show that the controllable volume-growth effect will be of considerable use for production of 3D micro-optical elements with excellent surface smoothness in solgel materials.

Arbitrary laser beam propagation in free space

The propagation of arbitrary laser beams in free space is examined. For this purpose, starting with an incident field of arbitrary field distribution, the intensity at the receiver plane is formulated via Huygens Fresnel diffraction integral. Arbitrary source field profile is produced by decomposing the source into incremental areas (pixels). The received field through the propagation in free space is found by superposing the contributions from all source incremental areas. The proposed method enables us to evaluate the received intensity originating from any type of source field. Using the arbitrary beam excitation, intensity of various laser beams such as cos-Gaussian, cosh-Gaussian, general type beams are checked to be consistent with the already existing results in literature, and the received intensity distributions are obtained for some original arbitrary beam field profiles. Our received intensity formulation for the arbitrary source field profiles presented in this paper can find application in optics communication links, reflection from rough surfaces, optical cryptography and optical imaging systems.     

Diffractive interferometer for visualization and measurement of optical heterogeneities

New optical arrangements of the two beam diffractive interferometer with the inverted wave fronts and the combined optical branches based on zone plates are proposed. The special software is designed. The restitution of an interference pattern is performed; the skeleton of fringes is selected; the graphic visualization of optical heterogeneity of a sample is built in the computer-aided processing of interferograms. Proposed DI enable visualizing the optical thickness heterogeneities in the transparent sample, measuring them with accuracy ～0.05λ and can be used for research and quality surveillance of laser crystals and other optical materials.     

Parallel direct laser writing of micro-optical and photonic structures using spatial light modulator

Two-photon polymerization (2PP) is a powerful tool for direct laser writing of micro-optical and photonic structures due to its flexibility in 3D structuring and sub-micrometer resolution. However, it can be time consuming to fabricate arrays of micro-optical devices and complex photonic structures. In this study, we propose to use predefined patterns (PPs) for parallel 2PP processing. A PP contains a multiple focal spot pattern optimized for the fabrication of certain microstructures. PP can be created by holographic laser beam modulation with a spatial light modulator (SLM). The quantity and position of the multiple foci can be flexibly and precisely controlled by predesigned computer generated holograms (CGHs). With these specially designed PPs, parallel fabrication of arbitrary distributed microlens arrays and 3D photonic structures is demonstrated. This method significantly improves throughput and flexibility of the 2PP technique and can be used for mass production of functional devices in micro-optics and photonics.

High sensitivity micro-displacement homodyne interferometry北大核心CSCD

Interferometry is widely used in nano-scale micro-topography measurement. In order to improve its accuracy and sensitivity, a high-sensitivity homodyne interferometry based on white light interference and laser secondary interference was proposed. A high-sensitivity homodyne interferometry system was designed, and the zero point of the laser secondary interference was used to locate the dark striation of white light interference, so that it could reach the maximum slope when optical path difference was zero. The signals of white light and laser were analyzed by using the wave principle and intensity formula of interference fringes, and a sensitivity calculation method based on the combination of white light and laser interference signal was proposed. The system and its sensitivity were simulated. Finally, the optical path was built, and the white light interference fringes were adjusted to the dark striations position, so as to locate the zero position of laser secondary interference and carry out the data acquisition. It is showed that the sensitivity of the measurement method is at least 1 832 times higher than that of the laser secondary interference, and the corresponding measurement uncertainty is only ±0.288 7 mV. The measurement system can effectively solve the problem of large amount of calculation in traditional interferometry, and has high sensitivity, stability and reliability.
