一种光可调的多功能太赫兹几何相位超表面北大核心CSCD

基于金属-光敏硅组合圆环提出了一种光可调太赫兹超表面,可用于实现多功能的波前操控。该超表面单元由正反两面的结构层和中间介质层组成,其中结构层是开口方向相反的金属环,开口处由光敏硅进行填充。在光照强度较低时,超表面可以将入射的圆极化波转换为交叉极化的透射波;随着光照强度升高,透射波将逐渐被完全抑制。根据几何相位原理,通过旋转金属-光敏硅组合圆环,透射的交叉极化波会携带额外的相位因子,并可实现完全的2π范围相位覆盖。通过合理排列超表面单元结构,可以对透射波的波前实现任意操控。利用提出的光可调超表面,在较低光照条件下实现了高效的异常折射、透镜以及轨道角动量产生器;在较高光照条件下,抑制了其透射效率,可有条件地选择应用功能,表现出较好的灵活性。提出的光可调超表面在太赫兹成像、通信、雷达等方面具有较大的潜在应用价值。

Calculation of Angular-Dependent Reflectance and Polarimetry Spectra of Nanoporous Anodic Alumina-Based Photonic Crystal Slabs

Calculations of angular-dependent reflectance and polarimetry spectra of nanoporous anodic alumina-based two-dimensional photonic crystal slabs are presented. The calculations are obtained using a scattering matrix numerical model that gives the polarization change as a function of the incidence angle and of the wavelength. The results reveal that the incident light can couple to several modes propagating in the photonic crystal slab at different angles with respect to the sample surface, and that the number of these modes increases with increasing pore depth. Two different lattice structures are studied: triangular and square. For the triangular lattice the off-diagonal components of the Jones Matrix show a certain amount of cross-polarization, while for the square lattice, there is no cross-polarization.     

Optically-detected antiferromagnetic resonance in KMnF3

Antiferromagnetic resonance has been detected optically by monitoring the intensity of light transmitted through a crystal of KMnF₃ at 2 K. At resonance, the intensity of the transmitted light decreases, implying that the absorption is enhanced by increases in magnon density.     

Imaging through scattering media using characteristics of the temporal distribution of transmitted laser pulses

An object consisting of small inhomogeneities embedded in a highly scattering solution was imaged using measurements of the time-resolved transmitted intensity of picosecond pulses of near-infrared light. Data acquisition involved translating the object in two orthogonal directions across the beam, and recording the temporal distribution of transmitted light at a series of discrete positions. Images were constructed from the total transmitted light, the first four moments of the temporal distribution, and from parameters derived from a comparison of the distribution with an analytical model, based on the diffusion approximation to the radiative transfer theory. The results show that the optical properties along a line-of-sight between source and detector influence some of these characteristics more than others.     

基于光场一阶关联的时域成像

与通常利用二阶强度关联测量实现时域鬼成像不同,本文利用时域热光源借助干涉仪通过一阶关联实现时域成像.基于空域光束的近轴衍射和时域窄带脉冲在色散介质中色散之间的空间-时间二象性,在时域脉冲响应函数的基础上得到了表征一阶关联时域成像的强度表达式,分析研究了光源脉冲宽度和相干时间对成像可见度和分辨率的影响.结果一方面表明基于热光场一阶关联的时域成像在不需要额外色散补偿或消除条件下可以实现时域物体信号的再现,另一方面表明当光源脉冲宽度一定时,成像可见度随光源脉冲相干时间的增加而增加,但是成像分辨率逐渐降低,其中当光源脉冲宽度约为100 ps,相干时间约为0.5 ps时,间隔为20 ps,宽度为8 ps的时域矩形波型物体的成像质量(兼顾可见度和分辨率)较好.该结果对于基于热光一阶关联的时域成像在时序信号测量中的应用具有重要意义.     

Properties of the degree of cross-polarization in the space-time domain

A definition of the degree of cross-polarization in the space-time domain is introduced which is based on considerations of the correlations of intensity fluctuations of an electromagnetic beam at two points. Some general properties of this quantity are discussed. For the special cases of fully coherent and fully polarized light it is shown that the degree of cross-polarization exhibits a relationship between the states of polarization at the two points.     

Measurements of femtosecond temporal speckle field of a random medium

The femtosecond temporal speckle field of a random medium is studied theoretically and experimentally. Femtosecond temporal speckle arises from the interference of multiple randomly scattered electric fields. The femtosecond temporal speckle field is measured with a cross-correlation frequency-resolved optical gating method. The spatial average of the speckle field yields a smooth transmitted profile. The speckle field is a circular complex Gaussian variable because the scattered light beams from different trajectories have no correlation with each other. The field and the intensity profiles of individual speckle spots fluctuate randomly in time. The ensemble average of the temporal intensity profiles converges, thereby yielding the photon travel time probability distribution function.

Interferometry from a scattering medium

A two-beam random interferometer is demonstrated where coupling is facilitated by a scattering medium. A modulation observed in the normalized second-order intensity frequency correlation of the transmitted light is attributed to the relative temporal delay of the two beams and is insensitive to beam alignment and spacing.     

Bragg diffraction of light by ultrasonic shear waves in a plane-parallel layer

We have studied anisotropic Bragg diffraction of light by ultrasonic shear waves in an optically isotropic plane-parallel layer. We have established the analytical dependences of the relative intensities and polarization azimuths of reflected and transmitted diffracted waves on the intensity of the ultrasound, the layer thickness, the angle of incidence, and the polarization azimuth of the incident light. We show that rotation of the plane of polarization of the diffracted wave is determined by the different Fresnel reflection of the s and p polarized components of the incident light in the plane-parallel layer. We have determined that in mismatched acousto-optic structures, deep amplitude modulation of transmitted and reflected light is possible which is an order of magnitude greater than the usual modulation in matched structures.

Transient electromagnetically induced transparency spectroscopy of 87Rb atoms in buffer gas

We study the transient response dynamics of ⁸⁷Rb atomic vapor buffered in 8 torr Ne gas through an electromagnetically induced transparency configured in $\varLambda$-scheme. Experimentally, the temporal transmission spectra versus probe detuning by switching on and off the coupling one show complex structures. The transmitted probe light intensity drops to a minimum value when the coupling light turns off, showing a strong absorption. Even at the moment of turning on the coupling light at a subsequent delayed time, the atomic medium shows a fast transient response. To account for the transient switching feature, in the time-dependent optical Bloch equation, we must take the transverse relaxation dephasing process of atomic vapor into account, as well as the fluorescence relaxation along with the optical absorption. This work supplies a technique to quantify the transverse relaxation time scale and to sensitively monitor its variation along the environment by observing the transient dynamics of coherent medium, which is helpful in characterizing the coherent feature of the atomic medium.

Relaxation behavior measuring of transmitted light through ferrofluids film

In this paper, relaxation behavior of transmitted light through thin ferrofluid film under an applied magnetic field is measured. The results show that the intensity of transmitted light through a ferrofluid film increases quickly as soon as an external magnetic field is applied then weakens with time. If uniformity of the field is poor, the transmission of light continuously decreases in a measured duration. Otherwise, the transmission of light will tend increasingly towards a stable value after it decreases to a minimum value while the gradient of the field is low. The relaxation time would increase to an order of some hundreds seconds magnitude and is dependent on the strength of magnetic field and viscosity of the ferrofluids. The field-induced relaxation behaviors of transmitted light through ferrofluids correspond to anisotropic microstructure of the ferrofluids under applied magnetic field. PACS 75.50.Mm; 78.20.Ls

以格兰–泰勒棱镜为例,根据实验现象对透射光强随旋转角扰动的原因进行了理论分析。通过泰勒棱镜的单色偏振光束在空气隙处发生多束光的干涉,使得透射光强依赖于入射角的大小。实验中棱镜振动引起入射角的微小扰动,导致了透射光强的扰动。着重分析了泰勒棱镜空气隙的厚度对于扰动的影响,并在此基础上讨论了减小扰动的方法,通过选取合适的空气隙厚度以及对棱镜的结构角做相应的调整可有效地减小扰动。     

Controlling the phase delay of light transmitted through double-layer metallic subwavelength slit arrays

We demonstrate that the phase of light transmitted through double-layer subwavelength metallic slit arrays can be controlled through lateral shift of the two layers. Our samples consist of two aluminum layers, each of which contains an array of subwavelength slits. The two layers are placed in sufficient proximity to allow coupling of the evanescent fields at resonance. By changing the lateral shift between the layers from zero to half the period, the phase of the transmitted electromagnetic field is increased by pi, while the transmitted intensity remains high. Such a controllable phase delay could open new capabilities for nanophotonic devices that cannot be achieved with single-layer structures.     

Dynamic characteristics of nonlinear Bragg gratings in photonic crystal fibres

We study numerically the temporal and spatial dynamics of light in Bragg gratings in highly nonlinear photonic crystal fibre for a CW input signal. Our numerical model is based on the plane wave mode solver and a set of nonlinear coupled-mode equations which we solve using a variation of implicit fourth order Runge-Kutta method. We observe not only bistability of the intensity versus transmitted and reflected light but also complex dynamics. We demonstrate that for values of input intensity above the bistable region the steady state may undergo a supercritical Hopf bifurcation. For some ranges of the input intensity we also observe a coexistence of two periodic attractors. The dynamics found, in particular the features in the bifurcation diagram, strongly depend on the parameters of the fibre. Consequently, we suggest that by proper design of the photonic crystal in the cladding we can adjust such nonlinear features of the Bragg gratings as the width of the bistable region, the intensity at which the bifurcation occurs and also the characteristics of the dynamics at high values of input intensity.     

胶质红外量子点薄膜入射角对荧光特性的影响分析

胶质红外量子点优异的光学性能使其荧光特性具有广泛的应用前景,在实际应用中通常需要封装成薄膜形态以保持稳定的荧光特性。然而,分散形式的改变可能会导致量子点荧光效率降低以及荧光角度特性变化。因此,建立了红外量子点荧光强度探测系统,对胶质红外量子点薄膜在不同角度激发光入射时产生的荧光分布情况进行研究。实验及分析结果表明,激发光与样品表面夹角大小在10°～170°之间的较大范围内入射时,在反射及透射荧光区域均可探测到荧光峰值强度70%～80%以上的荧光出射,在这一范围内的反射荧光与透射荧光强度差异和荧光强度随激发光入射角度的变化规律分别与样品中量子点的浓度以及分布形态有关。同时,随着入射激光能量的增强,样品出射荧光强度对于入射角度变化的“平坦”范围进一步扩大。     

Propagation of the degree of cross-polarization of stochastic electromagnetic pulsed beams in free space

The concept of the degree of cross-polarization is extended from stochastic electromagnetic stationary beams to stochastic electromagnetic pulsed beams, and the propagation properties of the degree of cross-polarization of stochastic spatially and spectrally partially coherent electromagnetic pulsed beams is studied. The influence of pulse duration and temporal coherence length on the degree of cross-polarization P is emphasized. It is shown that P exhibits an oscillatory behavior in free-space propagation. An increase in the pulse duration or a decrease in the temporal coherence length can weaken the oscillation of P. The validity of the results is interpreted physically.
