水下Co-60源切伦科夫辐射的蒙卡模拟

随着核应用领域的不断拓宽,放射源丢失事故发生的概率也随之增加。机载伽马谱仪可有效搜寻地面放射源,然而对于放射源丢失于水域的情况,由于伽马射线经由水层屏蔽后可探测性降低,故利用放射源在水中产生的切伦科夫辐射对其进行搜寻显得十分重要。采用MCNP与Geant4相结合的方法,以及在Geant4程序中采用接续计算技巧,对Co-60源在水中的切伦科夫光产生以及传输进行了计算,计算表明,切伦科夫光经水中传播后,主要波段在300~600 nm,强度呈由边缘到中心渐强的特征分布,分布范围大致与放射源在水中的深度一致,在水中传输300 m后其光通量约为100 cm-2,可利用光谱特征和强度分布特征对其进行测量。     

基于色差分析的不同光源下颜色稳定性研究

产品颜色是衡量产品质量的重要指标,由于产品流通环境中光源的变化无法避免,产品颜色必然受到光源变化的影响,因此研究不同光源下颜色的稳定性具有现实意义。以D65光源为标准光源,以A光源、F2光源为试验光源,选择大量色块作为样品,用不同光源下样品色差大小来衡量不同光源下样品颜色稳定性。通过对不同兴奋纯度的样品的分析,发现样品色差与其兴奋纯度是正相关的;通过对不同主波长/补色波长的样品进行分析,发现样品色差与其主波长/补色波长密切相关。样品主波长在479 nm时,色差较大,ΔE_ab*（D65/A）、ΔE_ab*（D65/F2）分别为14.50、13.81;样品主波长在561 nm时,色差较小,ΔE_ab*（D65/A）、ΔE_ab*（D65/F2）分别为5.17、2.78。将主波长/补色波长与色相对应后,发现紫、黄、黄绿等色相的样品在不同光源下色差较小,而红、青、浅蓝等色相的样品在不同光源下色差较大。结果表明,不同光源下颜色稳定性与其兴奋纯度以及主波长/补色波长有关。在实际生产与应用中,可以通过以下2种方式提高不同光源下产品颜色的稳定性:一是选择兴奋纯度较低的颜色;二是选择特定色相如紫、黄、黄绿等色相的颜色。     

Compact RGBY light sources with high luminance for laser display applications

Watt-class visible laser light with a high luminance can be created with high-power GaAs-based lasers either directly in the red spectral region or using single-pass second harmonic generation (SHG) for the colors in the blue–yellow spectral region. The concepts and results of red- and near infrared-emitting distributed Bragg reflector tapered lasers and master oscillator power amplifier systems as well as their application for SHG bench-top experiments and miniaturized modules are presented. Examples of these high-luminance light sources aiming at different applications such as flying spot display or holographic 3D cinema are discussed in more detail. The semiconductor material allows an easy adaptation of the wavelength allowing techniques such as six-primary color 3D projection or color space enhancement by adding a fourth yellow color.     

极端远紫外光刻的等离子体光源及其光学性质研究进展

现代技术的飞速发展需要集成电路不断小型化，因而开发下一代光刻光源以满足小型化的要求成为当前的一项紧迫任务。目前工业界确定的下一代光刻光源是波长为13．5nm的极端远紫外（EUV）光源，它能够把光刻技术扩展到32nm以下的特征尺寸，氙和锑材料的等离子体光源被认为是这种光源的最佳候选者。文章在介绍EUV光刻原理和EUV光源基本概念的基础上，讨论了目前研究得最多、技术最成熟的激光产生的和气体放电产生的等离子体EUV光源，对EUV光源的初步应用进行了简单介绍，并着重对氙和锑材料产生的等离子体发射性质和吸收性质的实验与理论研究进展进行了详细介绍与讨论。目前的理论研究进展表明，统计物理模型还不能很好地预测氙和锑等离子体的发射与吸收光谱，因此迫切需要发展细致能级物理模型，以得到更为精确的等离子体光学性质参数，并用于指导实验设计。提高EUV转换效率。     

Mathematical modeling of random coupling between polarization modes in single-mode optical fibers: VIII. Zero drift in a fiber ring interferometer with a white light source

Different schemes of fiber ring interferometers (FRIs) with a broadband nonmonochromatic radiation source manufactured on the basis of air-silica microstructured single-mode optical fibers (SMOFs) are considered. This source is close in spectral characteristics to a white light source, because the width of its emission spectrum is comparable to the mean wavelength. It is shown that an increase in the width of the spectrum of the radiation source can lead to either a substantial decrease or an increase in the zero drift, depending on the radiation polarization at the FRI entrance. The latter fact has defied explanation within simple phenomenological models of random coupling between polarization modes in SMOFs of an FRI circuit. The observed increase in the zero drift of the FRI can be explained in terms of the dependence of the parameter of polarization conservation (the parameter h) on the light wavelength for highly anisotropic SMOFs. This dependence is weak for nonmonochromatic radiation sources with a relatively small spectral width, for example, superluminescent diodes, which are traditionally used in FRIs. In contrast, for substantially more broadband radiation sources (including air-silica SMOFs), the above dependence is well pronounced and can lead to a number of undesirable effects in FRIs. Different variants of the FRI design are analyzed. It is demonstrated that the zero drift can be noticeably decreased with an increase in the width of the spectrum of the radiation source for an arbitrary radiation polarization at the entrance of an FRI with a depolarizer of nonmonochromatic radiation and a circuit fabricated from a weakly anisotropic SMOF, for which the parameter h does not depend on the light wavelength. The numerical estimates are obtained.     

MEMS profilometry by low coherence phase shifting interferometry: Effect of the light spectrum for high precision measurements

A white light interferometer can be used to measure profiles of a few nanometers and is therefore particularly well adapted for micro electro mechanical systems characterization. We present theoretical and experimental results on the profile precision as a function of the light source spectrum. We demonstrate that even if a broadband source is used in the phase shifting mode, the knowledge of the light spectrum allows to calculate a correction factor. This factor determines the local effective wavelength and can be used in order to increase the measurement precision of sample profiles.     

Influence of excitation light wavelength on the photoluminescence properties for ZnO films prepared by magnetron sputtering

Highly orientated polycrystalline ZnO films were deposited on sapphire, silicon and quartz substrates at room temperature by r.f. magnetron sputtering. Different photoluminescence (PL) spectra were observed when excited with different wavelength light. A UV emission peak (356 nm) and a blue peak (446 nm) were generated for the films on sapphire, silicon and quartz substrates, and only the 446 nm blue emission appeared for the films on glass substrates when the wavelength of the excitation light was 270 nm. With increasing the wavelength of the excitation light up to 300 and 320 nm, the UV emission disappeared for films on various substrates and the wavelength of the PL peaks increased up to 488 and 516 nm, respectively. When the wavelength of the excitation light increased to 398 nm, the PL spectrum becomes a wide band that is consistent with three emission peaks.     

Visible light transmission properties of double metal thin gold films with sub-wavelength hole arrays

The transmission spectrum of linearly polarized visible light through double metal thin films perforated with nano-hole arrays is investigated and simulated by using the three dimensional finite-difference time-domain method. The results show that the transmission spectra can be controlled by changing the longitudinal interval G between films and, their lateral displacements L_x and L_y, which are parallel and perpendicular to the polarization direction of the incident light, respectively. We have two important peaks (due to guided mode and SP mode) in these spectrums. The variation in longitudinal distance results a wavelength shift in guided mode peak of transmission spectrum while the wavelength of SP mode peak remains fixed. The lateral displacement L_x leads to the higher transmission of the guided mode peak, while the lateral displacement L_y suppresses the transmission of this peak. Here we try to discuss the physical explanations of these spectral behaviours by surface plasmon waves on the metal films and by using the concepts of surface plasma (SP) and guided modes in our double metal structure.     

Stimulated-emission-depletion microscopy with a multicolor stimulated-Raman-scattering light source

We describe a subdiffraction-resolution far-field fluorescence microscope employing stimulated emission depletion (STED) with a light source consisting of a microchip laser coupled into a standard single-mode fiber, which, via stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), yields a comb-like spectrum of seven discrete peaks extending from the fundamental wavelength at 532 nm to 620 nm. Each of the spectral peaks can be used as STED light for overcoming the diffraction barrier. This SRS light source enables the simple implementation of multicolor STED and provides a spectral output with multiple available wavelengths from green to red with potential for further expansion.     

Measurements and removal of cerenkov light generated in scintillating fiber-optic sensor induced by high-energy electron beams using a spectrometer

In this study, we measured scintillating and Cerenkov lights generated in a scintillating fiber-optic sensor using highenergy electron beams and a spectrometer. The spectrum of Cerenkov light generated in a plastic optical fiber was measured with a spectrometer and the intensities of Cerenkov light were measured for irradiated lengths of the plastic optical fiber by integrating the photon counts at every wavelength of the spectrum. The intensities of Cerenkov and scintillating lights were also characterized as a function of the incident angle of an electron beam from a clinical linear accelerator (CLINAC). To minimize or remove Cerenkov light, a subtraction method was employed using a background optical fiber.     

Harmful effects on organism induced by light of different wavelength and power

Although a variety of experiments on light exposure stress to animals significantly affect the retina and circulation system, it is still unknown the relationship between the different extent of harmful effect on organism and light with different wavelengths and power. This study is aimed to investigate the changes to microblood vessel and the variations in serum absorption spectrum. LED light of different wavelength and power were used. The results show that power has a relatively larger impact on physiological indexes than wavelength. The extents of these variations are relatively different according to the regression equations. All of these stimulations cause damage to mice physiological conditions, producing some extent of light pollution. The research findings supply the guideline for the effective prevention of the harmful effect on organism by light pollution from the view of science of optical life science.     

Laser wavelength measurements and the speed of light

Early determinations of the speed of light, based on astronomical observations or terrestrial time-of-flight experiments, were largely superseded in the 1940's by measurements of the frequency and wavelength of microwave radiation. The results were limited by the uncertainty in the wavelength measurements, and it was apparent that greater accuracy could be achieved by using radiation of shorter wavelength. It was, however, not until the development of lasers, and the nonlinear optical techniques made possible by their high output intensities, that frequency measurements could be extended towards the visible region of the spectrum.Stimulated by a demand for a more precise knowledge of the speed of light for application in space research, geodesy, and metrology, a new series of determinations has recently taken place. The measurements were made upon the radiations from a number of different stabilized-laser systems operating in the near infrared and visible spectral regions. Several different interferometric techniques were developed for the wavelength measurements. The results have led to a new recommended value for the speed of light, 299 792 458±1.2 m s^–1, and to the possibility of re-defining the unit of length.     

Quasi-phase-matched generation of tunable blue light in a quasi-periodic structure

We present what is to our knowledge a new approach to generating tunable blue light by cascaded nonlinear frequency conversion in a single LiTaO3 crystal. Simultaneous quasi-phase matching of an optical parametric generation process and a sum-frequency mixing process is achieved by means of structuring the crystal with a quasi-periodic optical superlattice. The spectral (wavelength tuning and bandwidth) and power characteristics of the blue-light generation are studied with a fixed-wavelength 532-nm picosecond laser and a wavelength-tunable nanosecond optical parametric oscillator (OPO) as the pump sources. By tuning the OPO wavelength, we could tune the blue output over approximately 20 nm. Temperature tuning of the blue output at a fixed pump wavelength of 532 nm was limited to approximately 1.5 nm. A maximum blue power of 15 microW was generated at a pump power of 0.5 mW, corresponding to an efficiency of 3%.     

Ultranarrow-bandwidth atomic filter with Raman light amplification

A Raman-amplified atomic filter is demonstrated experimentally. With a coupling light detuned from the D2 line of 85Rb, a weak signal light can be amplified by a factor of 55, and the bandwidth of the filter's transmission spectrum is narrowed to approximately 60 MHz. Moreover, the transmission wavelength is adjustable by changing the coupling-light frequency. Compared with a conventional dispersive atomic filter, this Raman-amplified atomic filter could be more efficient to suppress background noise in free-space quantum-key distribution or a laser-communication system.     

Optical properties of ultra-thin InN layer embedded in InGaN matrix for light emitters

We theoretically investigate the optical properties of an ultra-thin InN layer embedded in InGaN matrix for light emitters. The peak emission wavelength extends from ultraviolet (374 nm) to green (536 nm) with InN quantum well thickness increasing from 1 monolayer to 2 monolayers, while the overlap of electron-hole wave function remains at a high level (larger than 90%). Increase of In content in InGaN matrix provides a better approach to longer wavelength emission, which only reduces the spontaneous emission rate slightly compared with the case of increasing In content of the conventional InGaN quantum well. Also, the transparency carrier density derived from gain spectrum is of the same order as that in the conventional blue laser diode. Our study provides skillful design on the development of novel structure InN-based light emitting diodes as well as laser diodes.

Multi-wavelength phase-shifting interferometry for micro-structures measurement based on color image processing in white light interference

Conventional multi-wavelength phase-shifting interferometry utilizes two or three monochromatic light sources, such as lasers, to realize the measurement of the surface topography with large discontinuity. In this paper, the white light source, with a single-chip CCD color camera, is used to accomplish multi-wavelength phase-shifting interferometry. In addition, we propose an algorithm which combines white light phase-shifting algorithm, equivalent wavelength method and fringe order method to achieve measuring and calibrating the micro-structures ranging from nanometer scale to micrometer scale. Finally, the proposed method is validated by a traceable step height standard.
