Oblique incidence effect on steering efficiency of liquid crystal polarization gratings used for optical phased array beam steering amplification

A liquid crystal polarization grating (LCPG) is proposed that amplifies the steering angle of a liquid crystal optical phased array for non-mechanical beam steering, taking advantage of its high steering efficiency under normal incidence. However, oblique incidence may play an important role in the overall steering efficiency. The effect of oblique incidence on steering efficiency of a LCPG was analyzed by numerically solving the extended Jones matrix and considering propagation crosstalk. The results indicate that the outgoing laser beam is amplitude-modulated under the effect of oblique incidence and behaves as a sinusoidal-modulated amplitude grating, which diffracts certain energies to non-blazed orders. Over-oblique incidence may even eliminate the steering effect of the incident beam. The modulation depth of the induced amplitude grating was found to be proportional to the product of sinusoidal value of oblique incidence angle and the LC layer thickness, and inversely proportional to the periodic pitch length of the LCPG. Both in-plane incidence and out-of-plane incidence behave similarly to influence the steering efficiency. Finally, the overall steering efficiency for cascaded LCPGs was analyzed and a difference of up to 11 % steering efficiency can be induced between different LCPG configurations, even without considering the over-oblique incidence effect. Both the modulation depth and final steering efficiency can be optimized by varying the LC birefringence and layer thickness.

High-precision calculation of quasistatic field near a photocathode surface microrelief

In modern photoelectron devices, the problem of the impact of photocathode roughness on a photoelectron beam and the characteristics of the devices is extremely challenging. Through a three-dimensional (3D) field determination near a photocathode surface microrelief, the high-precision dynamics of photoelectrons from a photocathode can be determined and the influence of photocathode surface roughness on photoelectron beam characteristics can be investigated. The combined analytical–numerical method of field determination presented in this paper can be used in the investigations. In contrast with FEM method, the combined analytical–numerical method can calculate the field with a heightened accuracy and in a shorter time using a PC. The method can be applied to both arbitrary surfaces and a class of realistic microrelief surfaces. In the latter, it is possible to accelerate the speed of calculations through analytical developments of the method. For another class of microrelief surfaces, it is possible to formulate an analytical solution for field determination without numerical computations. Typical precisions and computation times of the written code were presented, comparison with a commercial code based on FEM method was done, and features of the method related to numerical instabilities of the code were discussed. A method of eliminating the instabilities was proposed.     

光纤面板窗多碱光电阴极荧光谱特性研究

论述了光致荧光的特点以及微光像增强器多碱光电阴极光致荧光的测量原理, 测量了光纤面板输入窗多碱光电阴极的荧光谱. 测试结果表明, 光纤面板窗的多碱阴极的荧光谱不是一条光滑的高斯型曲线, 而是在一条高斯型曲线上叠加了一些小的干涉峰的曲线. 原因是光纤面板窗所传输的荧光中, 有两束特殊的光线. 一束光为准直光, 另一束光为入射角刚好等于全反射临界角的反射光. 这两束光具有固定的相位差或光程. 当这两束光的相位差相差λ的整数倍时, 它们将干涉并产生干涉加强峰;当这两束光的相位差相差1/2λ的奇数倍时, 它们将干涉并产生干涉减弱峰. 如果在荧光谱的峰值波长处刚好产生干涉加强峰, 那么所测量的峰值荧光强度较其固有的峰值荧光强度要高; 反之, 如果在荧光谱的峰值波长处刚好出现干涉减弱峰, 那么所测量的荧光强度就小于其固有的荧光强度. 另外由于受到干涉的影响, 荧光曲线半峰宽也不能精确确定,所以在分析光纤面板窗光电阴极的荧光谱时, 要考虑到干涉因素的影响.
