一种计算远红外干涉仪相位差的数值方法

一、引言 远红外(FJR)激光干涉仪广泛用于等离子体电子密度测量。探测光束通过等离子体产生相移,参考光束不通过等离子体,两道信号由TGS热释电探测器分别接收,两者的相位差就是被测物理量,它与线电子密度成正比。目前,国内外此类干涉仪都用模拟或数字电路的相位计过零比较信号相位差。这种硬件相位计性能指标不稳定,制作费用昂贵。我们提出一种数值方法,通过软件计算相位差,这种方法可提高信号的时间分辨率。     

一种处理远红外激光干涉仪相移信号的新方法

一、引言 在等离子体物理实验中,电子密度的获取十分重要。对于中小型托卡马克装置,其密度范围正好在HCN远红外激光干涉仪(波长337μm)的可测范围,国内外许多装置都用HCN激光干涉仪来测其电子密度n_e。测量来自于干涉仪的两路信号—探测信号V_D和参考信号V_R之间的相位差即可得到n_e。密度相移信号的产生及与n_e的对应关系、传统测量相位差的方法已有专文叙述。传统处理方法由于存在相移过2π时计数值的跳变问题,在密度起伏较频繁     

大相移直读式微波干涉仪

一、引 言 微波法测量等离子体的电子密度通常采用 Wharton-Gardner条纹干涉仪,这种经典的条纹干涉仪对于大截面高密度的瞬变等离子体所产生的数十个2π相移变化特别是电子密度之空间分布的测量有一定的局限性。当相移超过10个2π弧度时,在示波器上读取这种干涉仪的条纹移动是很困难的。而大相移直读式微波相位测量系统能把瞬变等离子体引起的微波相移的2π弧度的数目转换成电脉冲。这些对应于密度上升和下降的2π弧度相移量的脉冲经过适当处理,既可供直读也可供计算机进行数据处理。目前该系统每500微秒可分辨2π弧度的相移。同时,它还可以利用波导桥网络的检波输出在示波器上观测条纹的移动,以便进行监测。所以它对于大型或中型托卡马克装置的测量是比较适合的。     

激光诱导Ni等离子体特性的研究

以Nd·YAG激光器的二倍频输出作为激发源,获得了激光诱导Ni等离子体的发射光谱,基于发射光谱,对等离子体电子激发温度和电子密度进行了测量,其典型值分别为3 714 K,4.67×1016 cm-3。测量了等离子体电子激发温度和电子密度的空间分布,发现沿垂直于激光传播方向的径向,随到中心点距离的增加,等离子体辐射的强度减小,但线型和线宽不变,表明等离子体电子激发温度和电子密度沿径向均匀分布。沿激光传播方向,随到样品表面距离的增加,等离子体辐射强度、电子激发温度和电子密度先增加后降低,在距样品表面1.5 mm处,达到最大值。采用激光诱导击穿光谱技术进行相关探测时,收集距离样品表面1.5 mm处的发射谱,有利于提高探测灵敏度。

基于泵浦脉冲诱导等离子体通道的空心光束产生

利用飞秒脉冲诱导生成的具有渐变折射率分布的等离子体通道产生空心光束.当飞秒脉冲在非线性介质中传输时将电离产生等离子体通道,该等离子体通道具有渐变的折射率分布,等离子体通道中激光束只能在电子密度低于临界等离子体密度的区域传播,故当探测光束在等离子体通道边缘传输时将偏转形成空心光束.当泵浦光束功率为8mW时,探测光束转变为典型的空心光束结构;当泵浦光束的入射功率、重复率或等离子体通道中轴向电子密度改变时,等离子体通道中可供探测光束通过的区域将随之发生改变,这将导致空心光束中黑斑的面积发生变化.因此通过调节泵浦光束的入射功率和重复率可以控制产生空心光束的黑斑大小.

Guided-Wave Two-Dimensional Acousto-Optic Scanner Using Proton-Exchanged Lithium Niobate Waveguide

Two-dimensional scanning of a 0.6328 mum guided-light beam has been realized using noncolinear acousto-optic (AO) coplanar Bragg diffraction together with colinear AO guided-mode to substrate radiation-mode conversion in a Z-cut Xpropagation LiNbO3 proton-exchanged (PE) waveguide. The two surface acoustic (SAW) waves utilized are at the center frequencies of 500 and 200 MHz, propagating in the Y and X axes, respectively. Two-dimensional scanning of approximately 720 resolvable light beam spots, namely, 18 40 (horizontal vertical) scanning, has been demonstrated using a light beam of 1.0 mm aperture. The total number of resolvable beam spots can be greatly increased from 720 by simply utilizing SAW transducers of larger bandwidth and a light beam of greater aperture. It should also be possible to significantly increase the diffraction efficiency from 3 % by optimizing the parameters of the PE waveguide and the SAWs.     

Effect ofγ-radiation on the spectral luminescence characteristics of impure cadmium tungstate crystals

Results of a study of the effect of γ-radiation on the spectral luminescence properties of cadmium tungstate crystals doped with silver, bismuth, and molybdenum cations are presented. Spectral characteristics of the nondnnnoped crystals are briefly described. Absorption and photo and X-ray luminescence spectra of the crystals taken before and after exposure to γ-radiation (5.5·10⁴ Gy) are compared. It is found that the spectral characteristics of the crystals doped with silver, bismuth, and molybdenum cations do not change markedly after the exposure. The relation between the type of impurity-induced defects, individual characteristics of the impurity cations, and the character of the effect of γ-radiation on the spectral luminescence properties of impure crystals is analyzed (preliminarily).

Femtosecond Transform-Limited Pulse Generation by Compensating for the Linear Chirp of SPM Spectra in Dispersion Shifted Fibers

A simple technique of pulse compression, based on the linear chirp compensation of self-phase modulation (SPM) spectra in dispersion shifted fibers, is demonstrated. The optimization procedure is carried out, for a short span of a single-mode fiber, using a parabolic law, which describes the behavior of the squared output pulse width versus the pump peak power in the case of Gaussian pulses. The experimental results give a minimum pulse duration of 233 fs, which is in good agreement with the model. Shorter and coherent pulses, down to 90 fs, have been obtained by inserting an interference filter at the optical output.     

Sorting of bending magnets for the SSRF booster

The Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility(SSRF)booster ring,a full energy injector for the storage ring,is deigned to accelerate the electron beam energy from 150MeV to 3.5GeV that demands high extraction efficiency at the extraction energy with low beam loss rate when electrons are ramping.Closed orbit distortion(COD)caused by bending magnet field uniformity errors which affects the machine performance harmfully could be effectively reduced by bending magnet location sorting.Considering the affections of random errors in measurement,both ideal sorting and realistic sorting are studied based on measured bending magnet field uniformity errors and one reasonable combination of bending magnets which can reduce the horizontal COD by a factor of 5is given as the final installation sequence of the booster bending magnets in this paper.

Resonance scattering of canonical elastic shells in absorbing fluid medium

Resonance scattering of elastic spherical shell and cylindrical shell while the surrounding fluid medium has absorption is studied. The normal mode solution derived using exact elastic theory and the separation of variables is still applicable. However, the scattering form function has to be modified for the absorbing medium, otherwise the unreasonable result would be obtained. The backscattering form function in the absorbing medium is redefined, and the form function of elastic spherical and cylindrical shell with vacuum or solid matter filled is calculated in various absorption conditions. The results show that the absorption of surrounding fluid leads to notable attenuation of the coincidence resonances in the mid-frequency, but it has a little influence on the low-frequency resonance scattering induced by the filler inside the shell.     

Single-beam self-referenced phase-sensitive surface plasmon resonance sensor with high detection resolution

A versatile and low-cost single-beam self-referenced phase-sensitive surface plasmon resonance(SPR)sensing system with ultra-high resolution performance is presented.The system exhibits a root-mean-square phase fluctuation of ±0.0028.over a period of 45 min.i.e.a resolution of±5.2×10-9 refractive index units.The enhanced performance has been achieved through the incorporation of three design elements:a true single-beam configuration enabling complete self-referencing so that only the phase change associated with SPR gets detected,a differential measurement scheme to eliminate spurious signals not related to the sensor response,and the elimination of retardation drifts by incorporating temperature stabilization in the liquid crystal phase modulato .Our design should bring the detection sensitivity of non-labeling SPR biosensing closer to that achievable by conventional fluorescence-based techniques.     

Influences of SiO2 protective layers and annealing on the laser-induced damage threshold of Ta2O5 films

Ta2O5 films are prepared on BK7 substrates with conventional electron beam evaporation deposition.The effects of SiO2 protective layers and annealing on the laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) of the films are investigated.The results show that SiO2 protective layers exert little influence on the electric field intensity(EFI)distribution,microstructure and microdefect density but increase the absorption slightly.Annealing iS effective on decreasing the microdefect density and the absorption of the films.Both SiO2 protective layers and annealing are beneficial to the damage resistance of the films and the latter is more effective to improve the LIDT.Moreover,the maximal LIDT of Ta2O5 films is achieved by the combination of SiO2 protective layers and annealing.     

A stereo matching algorithm using multi-peak candidate matches and geometric constraints

Gray cross correlation matching technique is adopted to extract candidate matches with gray cross correla- tion coefficients less than some certain range of maximal correlation coefficient called multi-peak candidate matches. Multi-peak candidates are extracted corresponding to three closest feature points at first. The corresponding multi-peak candidate matches are used to construct the model polygon. Correspondence is determined based on the local geometric relations between the three feature points and the multi-peak candidates. The disparity test and the global consistency checkout are applied to eliminate the remaining ambiguous matches that are not removed by the local geometric relational test. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is feasible and accurate.
