菌紫质光致变色吸收特性的二能级理论研究

采用二能级模型(B态和M态)简化菌紫质(bR)光循环过程,建立了菌紫质光致变色吸收特性的数学方程,数值计算了bR膜对570nm单光束和对570nm与412nm双光束的吸收特性.计算表明,bR膜的光吸收特性与入射光波长、入射光强、摩尔消光系数、光密度和M态寿命有很大的关系.bR膜用于光存储时,读出光强和M态寿命是影响bR读出使用时间的两个重要因素.570nm与412nm双光束作用于bR膜时,可以实现以光控光操作,但由于570nm黄光的透过动态范围要比412nm紫光的透过动态范围大得多,因而在实际应用中应以黄光作为信息光,紫光作为控制光.基于bR膜对黄、紫光束的吸收特性,可以将其应用于亮背景滤除、反象器、图象相减、光寻址空间光调制器等光信息处理领域.

细菌视紫红质的动态透射特性及其应用

细菌视紫红质 (Bacteriorhodopsin,简称 b R)是由嗜盐菌中提取出的一种光敏蛋白质 ,它是一种新型的生物光子学材料。我们测量的 b R膜在黄光和蓝光束分别照射下的非线性透射特性表明 ,在光照开始阶段 ,光的透过率随时间延长而增加 ,然后逐渐达到一个稳定值。黄光和蓝光的透过特性的不同是蓝光达到最大透过率的时间比黄光短。 b R膜在黄光和蓝光双光束同时照射下的非线性透射特性的计算结果表明 ,在某一固定蓝光光强 ,蓝光的透过光强随黄光强度的增加而减小 ,甚至变为零。这说明黄光对蓝光有抑制作用 ,即黄光可以调控蓝光的透过率。这一奇异的透射特性可以用做新出现事物滤波器

The behaviours of optical novelty filter based on bacteriorhodopsin film

The quality of the novelty filter image is investigated at different intensities of the incident blue and yellow beams irradiating a bacteriorhodopsin (bR) film. The relationship between the transmitted blue beams and the incident yellow beams is established. The results show that the contrast of the novelty filter image depends on the lifetime of longest lived photochemical state (M state). These results enable one to identify the direction of a moving object and to improve the quality of the novel filter image by prolonging the lifetime of M state.     

New type of 3.39 μm laser beam attenuator

A variable beam attenuator for 3.39 μm radiation consists of two yttrium orthovanadate crystal plane-parallel plates and one λ/2 MgF₂ waveplate. The attenuated light beam can be kept at the same states of polarization and vacuity distribution as those of the incident light beam. The attenuation ratio is independent of the state of the incident light beam and can be changed continually.     

Dynamic diffraction behaviors of bacteriorhodopsin film at 532 nm

To show the relations between dynamic diffraction behaviors of two coupled waves and parameters of bacteriorhodopsin (bR) film, we presented a model of numerical simulation, in which the thermal effect is considered. Using wavelength of 532 nm, the relations between dynamic diffraction behaviors and parameters of bR film are revealed and the numerical results are in good agreement with the experimental ones. For different incident intensities, the higher the intensity, the lower the stable normalized diffraction intensity. For different bR molecular concentrations in the M state, the higher the molecular concentration, the higher the stable value of normalized diffraction intensity. For different thickness of bR film, the larger the thickness, the higher the stable value of normalized diffraction intensity. For different lifetime in the M state, the longer the lifetime of the M state, the lower the stable value of normalized diffraction intensity. The normalized diffraction intensity with low stable value corresponds to its fast rising and decaying rate.     

All-optical continuous-tunable image switch based on nonlinear photoinduced anisotropy in bacteriorhodopsin film

Using nonlinear photoinduced anisotropy in bacteriorhodopsin (bR) film, we presented and demonstrated an image switch in which the output can be tuned continuously by the intensity of a pumping beam. A laser with wavelength 532 nm was used as the pumping beam, and a He-Ne laser at wavelength 632.8 nm was used as the probe beam. Without pumping light, a little of polarized probe beam can transmit the crossed polarizers and the output is very low. With the presence of pumping light, owing to photoinduced anisotropy in the bR film, a portion of the probe beam transmits the crossed polarizers, depending on the intensity of the pumping beam. For the low-intensity probe beam (0.44 mW/cm²), the output is dependent on a wide range of pumping beam (2-30 mW/cm²). On the contrary, for the high-intensity probe beam (0.80 mW/cm²), the output is dependent on a narrow range of pumping beam (2-7 mW/cm²).     

Intracavity sum-frequency generation of CW blue light in Nd:LuVO<Subscript>4</Subscript> laser

We report for the first time a continuous-wave (CW) blue laser emission by sum-frequency mixing in Nd:LuVO₄ crystal. Using type-I critical phase-matching (CPM) LBO crystal, a blue laser at 493 nm is obtained by 1066 and 916 nm intracavity sum-frequency mixing. The maximum laser output power of 520 mW is obtained when an incident pump laser of 18.2 W is used. At the output power level of 520 mW, the output stability is better than 2.8%. The beam quality M ² value is are about 1.22 and 1.31 in both horizontal and vertical dimensions respectively.     

Photon number distributions of output fields from a beam splitter

We examined the photon statistics of the output light field of a lossless symmetric beam splitter when a n-photon occupation number state and an arbitrary light field are present on the two input ports of the beam splitter. We showed that both the wave-like nature and the particle-like nature of light are contributed to the photon number distribution by investigation of the difference photon number probability at the output port.     

Systematic study of highly efficient white light generation in transparent materials using intense femtosecond laser pulses

We report the results of a systematic study of white light generation in different high band-gap optical media (BaF₂, acrylic, water and BK-7 glass) using ultrashort (45 fs) laser pulses. We have investigated the influence of different parameters, such as focal position of the incident laser light within the medium, the polarization state of the incident laser radiation and the pulse duration of the incident laser beam on the white light generation. Our results indicate that for intense, ultrashort pulses, the position of physical focus inside the media is crucial in the generation, with high efficiency, of white light spectra over the wavelength range 400–1100 nm. Linearly polarized incident laser light generates white light with higher intensity in the blue region than circularly polarized light. Ultrashort (45 fs) pulses generate a flatter spectrum with higher white light conversion efficiency than longer (300 fs) pulses of the same laser power. We believe that a flat response over a wide range of wavelengths in the continuum may be efficiently compressed for generation of sub-10 fs pulses.

空心光束的质量是超衍射极限相干反斯托克斯拉曼散射显微成像技术中决定成像质量的一个至关重要的因素. 本文基于菲涅耳衍射理论,分析了螺旋相位片法产生空心光束的物理机理,并且模拟了不同的入射条件对产生的空心光束的影响. 模拟结果表明:波长与相位片中心波长匹配且光强呈圆对称分布的高斯光垂直入射到相位片上,当高斯光束中心与相位片中心完全对准时,可获得较理想的空心光束;入射光光强分布的圆对称性以及入射光中心与相位片中心的对准程度都会影响产生的空心光束的强度分布;同时,高斯光束小角度倾斜入射时,空心光的强度分布仍呈圆对称,却在观察面发生一定的位移;此外,入射光中心波长偏离相位片中心波长不大时,对产生的空心光束的强度分布几乎没有影响. 上述分析结果对用于超衍射相干反斯托克斯拉曼散射显微成像技术中理想空心光束的获取具有重要的指导意义. 关键词： 空心光束 超衍射极限 相干反斯托克斯拉曼散射 螺旋相位片
