Observation of THz coherent transition radiation from single-bunch beam at KURRI-LINAC as an intense pulsed light source

A single-bunch beam has been generated using a developed high-speed avalanche-type pulser in KURRI-LINAC in order to lift restrictions of the spectral resolution in the spectroscopic study and the delay time in the time-resolved measurement. Both of the rise and fall times of the developed pulser are 110 ps. The observation of CTR has confirmed the single-bunch beam. The degree of impurity of single bunch has been estimated to be 1.5% by the analysis of the interferogram.

Laboratory measurements of dry air atmospheric absorption with a millimeter wave cavity ringdown spectrometer

Fast scan submillimeter spectroscopy (FASSST) cavity ring down spectroscopy has been used to measure the dry air continuum, and separately its individual component parts, at ∼6000 frequencies in the spectral region between 170 and 260 GHz. These measurements have been made at pressures that range from 0 to 3 atmospheres and in the temperature range between 230 and 320 K. For several of the components these are the first measurements made at or near atmospheric conditions. These measurements contain all of the information necessary to parameterize the observed absorptions in terms of the fundamental line and continuum interactions without the need to import external parameters. The inversion of this analysis makes possible the calculation of atmospheric absorption with meaningful uncertainties over this spectral region for temperatures and pressures of atmospheric interest.     

Instantaneous electron beam emittance measurement system based on the optical transition radiation principle

One kind of instantaneous electron beam emittance measurement system based on the optical transition radiation principle and double imaging optical method has been set up. It is mainly adopted in the test for the intense electron-beam produced by a linear induction accelerator. The system features two characteristics. The first one concerns the system synchronization signal triggered by the following edge of the main output waveform from a Blumlein switch. The synchronous precision of about 1 ns between the electron beam and the image capture time can be reached in this way so that the electron beam emittance at the desired time point can be obtained. The other advantage of the system is the ability to obtain the beam spot and beam divergence in one measurement so that the calculated result is the true beam emittance at that time, which can explain the electron beam condition. It provides to be a powerful beam diagnostic method for a 2.5 kA, 18.5 MeV, 90 ns (FWHM) electron beam pulse produced by Dragon I. The ability of the instantaneous measurement is about 3 ns and it can measure the beam emittance at any time point during one beam pulse. A series of beam emittances have been obtained for Dragon I. The typical beam spot is 9.0 mm (FWHM) in diameter and the corresponding beam divergence is about 10.5 mrad.

Modeling of a millimeter wave planar Schottky diode using both improved equivalent circuit model and 3D-EM model

In this paper, a planar Schottky varistor diode is studied and modeled by equivalent circuit method and three dimensional full wave electromagnetic (3D-EM) method, respectively. The diode's equivalent circuit is extracted from millimeter-wave small-signal S-parameter measurements. Since the package of the diode influences the electromagnetic field distribution at millimeter and sub-millimeter wavelengths, a 3D-EM model and an improved equivalent circuit model is applied to describe the field precisely. The simulated results of equivalent circuit, improved equivalent circuit and 3D-EM model are compared with the measured results. In addition, the effects caused by silver paste conductive adhesive are considered in 3D-EM model and improved equivalent circuit model. The results show that both the 3D-EM model and improved equivalent circuit model have good S-parameter consistency with measured results.

Characteristics of millimeter wave detection in a Fabry-Perot resonator using a YBCO-BiO composite superconductor

A quasioptical technique with a hemispherical-type Fabry-Perot resonator for measuring characteristics of millimeter wave detection using a YBCO-BiO composite superconductor has been successfully developed. This Fabry-Perot resonator consists of a spherical mirror and a plane mirror mounted on the cold head of the refrigerator, under a controlled temperature of 40 to 300 K. The method offers the advantages of estimating irradiation power, easily controlling the sample temperature, analyzing the mode of the irradiated millimeter waves and easily extending to higher frequencies. The superconducting millimeter wave detector has been measured with this technique, with measured sensitivities of 46.5 V/W (70 K) to 160 V/W (35 K) at 50 GHz. These results are close to the theoretical values calculated numerically from the characteristics of the detector. It was confirmed that the millimeter wave detection system using the Fabry-Perot resonator is suitable for estimating the sensitivity of the high-Tc superconducting millimeter wave detector.     

Spot size measurement of a flash-radiography source using the pinhole imaging method

The spot size of the X-ray source is a key parameter of a flash-radiography facility, and is usually quoted as an evaluation of the resolving power. The pinhole imaging technique is applied to measure the spot size of the Dragon-I linear induction accelerator, by which a two-dimensional spatial distribution of the source spot is obtained.Experimental measurements are performed to measure the spot image when the transportation and focusing of the electron beam are tuned by adjusting the currents of solenoids in the downstream section. The spot size of full-width at half maximum and that defined from the spatial frequency at half peak value of the modulation transfer function are calculated and discussed.     

Measurement of bidirectional reflectance distribution function with a linear light source

This paper proposes a practical measurement system for bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) of a three-dimensional (3D) object with a linear light source. Using the linear light source, the proposed system can reduce the number of image acquisitions which are necessary for an estimation of the spatially-varying BRDFs of the object. Furthermore, the size of the proposed system is much smaller than a conventional system which uses a parallel light. In this proposed system, the light field of the linear light source is previously measured to determine direction and radiance of incident rays to each point of the object, because the direction and radiance are not constant at each point. Using the proposed system, the BRDF of a point of flat objects was experimentally measured, and results showed validation of the estimation accuracy of the proposed system. Measurement efficiency of the proposed system was also evaluated by comparing reflectance model parameters estimated by the conventional and proposed systems. For the estimation, the reflectance function of a 3D object was measured by both systems. The estimation accuracy of the proposed method was also evaluated by comparing among a real image and rendered 3D objects of the conventional and proposed methods.     

Normal tracing deflectometry using a secondary light source

Scanning deflectometric profilers based on an f–gθ system are typical optical tools used to measure mirror profiles at many synchrotron facilities. Unlike these profilers, which are based on a pencil beam, here a secondary light source and a pinhole are used to construct a system that automatically selects a beam that will always pass through the pinhole and propagate along the normal direction of the measured area on the surface under test. By measuring the angle variation of the selected beam, slope variations of the surface under test can be measured. Systematic errors introduced by manufacturing defects or aberrations of an optical element, which greatly degrade the performance of traditional profilers, could be minimized by using the developed method. Simulation values of the proposed method and a conventional method are compared.

Unraveling the electronic structure of transition metal dimers using resonant four‐wave mixing

The potential of two‐color resonant and degenerate four‐wave mixing spectroscopy for investigations of the complex spectra of transition metal dimers is explored. Two‐color resonant and degenerate four‐wave mixing spectroscopy scans of the well‐known A‐X and B‐X transitions in Cu₂ are reported and compared with previous experimental data obtained from standard single‐resonance techniques. The selectivity of the method is shown to enable the measurement of isotopologue pure spectra without the need for isotopically enriched metal targets. Specific subsets of the rovibronic structure are separated in a congested spectral region of overlapping transitions. The sensitivity of the method compares satisfactorily with linear spectroscopic methods such as laser‐induced fluorescence and cavity ring‐down. A new laser vaporization source for the production of transition metal dimers and clusters has been constructed. The new design aims for a high number density and maximum possible shot‐to‐shot stability. The possibilities of further applications of non‐linear four‐wave mixing spectroscopy to Cu₂ and other transition metal dimers are discussed. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A new concept of white light generation using a nano-waveguide for the solar radiation collection use

We propose a novel system of a nano-waveguide that can be used to generate the continuous optical spectrum, i.e. white light. A system consists of two micro-ring resonators and a nano-ring resonator that can be integrated into a single system. The large bandwidth signal is generated using a soliton pulse propagating within a Kerr-type nonlinear medium, whereas the continuous bandwidth or wavelength of light signal can be performed. Results obtained have shown the potential of using such a system for white light source generation and amplification, which is discussed. The amplified pulse can be stored within a nano-waveguide, which is allowed to form the continuous spectrum after amplification. Alternatively, the low-level solar radiation can be amplified, and the bandwidth signals can also be enlarged.     

Taking into account physical and instrumental parameters in atomic absorption spectroscopy with a continuous radiation source

We present a detailed analysis of the dependences of the absorption contours and concentration curves on various parameters in atomic absorption spectrometry with a continuous radiation source. We have developed a multifunctional application software package allowing us to calculate the emission and absorption line profiles for different elements under different physical conditions. We take into account Doppler and collisional broadening of the absorption lines, which have a complex structure as a result of the isotopic shift, hyperfine splitting of the components, and also instrumental distortion of these lines. We consider two different procedures for calculating the absorbance and do a comparative analysis of the two procedures. For all the listed cases, we can plot concentration curves and find the absorbance within the classical definition and plot the concentration curve using only a portion of the spectral width of the profile rather than the entire width. We have modeled the instrumental distortions of the spectral profile due to spectral selection, and we have analyzed their effect on the shape of the absorption contour. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 73, No. 3, pp. 285–289, May–June, 2006.     

Investigation on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography using a tungsten halogen lamp as light source

The objective of this research was to investigate a new detection method using a thermal light source in a spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) operation to improve both image acquisition rate and axial resolution economically. A tungsten halogen lamp was chosen as the illumination source and a Michelson fiber interferometer was employed to generate the interference pattern of an object collected by a spectrometer; the inner structure of the object was obtained from the interference pattern by a Fourier transform. An experiment was performed by measuring a thin film coated on a glass base with the system, and the experimental results indicated that the structure of the thin film could be clearly observed as expected. It was theoretically stated and experimentally verified that the technique was feasible and enables imaging to realize the reconstructions of internal structure of engineering and biological object.
