相位光栅分离双波长宽角度光线的理论分析

使用衍射光栅的分色分光方式一般以平行光入射情况为讨论基础,对于非平行光入射的情况讨论较少.本文基于菲涅尔衍射理论和角谱理论,将球面波与平面波的衍射波场联系起来,从而在传播函数中引入角度参量,结合分数泰伯效应的理论基础,推导出双波长宽角度入射光线经相位光栅衍射后的波场分布函数,并对推导出的函数进行数值模拟,得到像面不同位置衍射波场分布.与平行光入射时的标准波场分布相比较,得到宽角度入射时的衍射波场的横向展宽量和偏移量.通过调节光栅台阶的宽度,改变衍射场的展宽和偏移,使各个单一波长的衍射波场宽度小于光栅周期的一半,从而减少双波长光衍射波场的混叠.同时本文给出波场宽度与光栅台阶宽度的变化关系,选取光栅面上多个位置作为台阶宽度的计算点,并对整个光栅的台阶宽度进行曲线拟合,得到可以使双波长宽角度入射光实现良好空间分离的光栅参量.该结果可用于各类宽角度入射光线的光谱分离场合,如双波长成像、液晶显示和液晶投影等.

Design of high-efficiency diffraction gratings based on total internal reflection for pulse compressor

We present designs of high-efficiency compression grating based on total internal reflection (TIR) for picosecond pulse laser at 1053 nm. The setup is devised by directly etching gratings into the bottom side of a prism so that light can successfully enter (or exit) the compression grating. Dependence of the −1 order diffraction efficiencies on the constructive parameters is analyzed for TE- and TM-polarized incident light at Littrow angle by using Fourier modal method in order to obtain optimal grating structure. The electric field enhancement within the high-efficiency TIR gratings is regarded as another criterion to optimize the structure of the TIR gratings. With the criterion of high diffraction efficiency, low electric field enhancement and sufficient manufacturing latitude, TIR compression gratings with optimized constructive parameters are obtained for TE- and TM-polarized incident light, respectively. The grating for TE-polarized light exhibits diffraction efficiencies higher than 0.95 within 23 nm bandwidth and relatively low square of electric field enhancement ratio of 5.7. Regardless of the internal electric field enhancement, the grating for TM-polarized light provides diffraction efficiencies higher than 0.95 within 42 nm bandwidth. With compact structure, such TIR compression gratings made solely of fused silica should be of great interest for application to chirped pulse amplification (CPA) systems.     

利用保角变换实现环形光栅的Talbot效应

Talbot效应是一种近场自成像效应,通常只有周期光栅可以产生Talbot效应,而环形光栅无法产生.本文通过引入保角变换,发现可以在环形光栅外部设计适当的折射率渐变层介质,使得其中也能够产生严格的Talbot效应,并计算了对应的自成像半径表达式.本文利用FDTD软件分别将一个环形光栅放置在真空中以及人工设计的折射率渐变层中进行了模拟,并对二者的结果进行了比较分析,发现这种折射率渐变层介质确实对点光源入射的环形光栅的自成像情况有着很好的改善.希望这一工作能够推广Talbot效应的应用范围.     

Exact calculations of scattering and enhanced fields of electromagnetic waves on grating surfaces

We present scattered intensities and values of the electromagnetic field for p-polarized light on Ag grating surfaces using the theory of Toigo, Marvin, Celli and Hill. The theory is based on the application of the extinction theorem to Green's theorem. The program for calculations is set for any shape of the grating profile. Calculations are performed when the incident light is in resonance with the surface plasmon polariton. The shape of the scattered intensities are calculated for different grating amplitudes and it is shown that,for example, the reflectivity can present a minimum or a maximum depending on the amplitude and shape of the grating. It is shown that the enhanced field (the ratio between the modulus squared of the scattered field to the modulus squared of the incident field)(e) has a maximum when the reflectivity is a minimum as a function of the incident angle. The maximum of e is larger when the minimum in the reflectivity is smaller as a function of the grating amplitude. The value of e is calculated in a fine grid near to the grating and the values of the maxima are of the order of 250, then if the Raman cross-section is proportional to the fourth power of the field this could produce 10⁴ to 10⁵ in the cross-section and explain SERS. The width of the resonances as well as the plasmon dispersion relation will be also presented.     

平面光栅杂散光测试仪模型设计及消杂光技术研究

杂散光是平面光栅的重要性能指标,光栅杂散光的测量一直是光栅研制领域的难题。为实现仪器自身杂光低于10-8量级,以满足对平面光栅杂散光10-7量级的精确测量要求,基于标量衍射理论和经典Fresnel-Kirchhoff衍射理论,对光谱仪器中的光栅杂散光进行了理论分析,设计了平行光照射条件下光栅杂散光测试仪的光机模型。利用杂散光分析软件ASAP建立紫外单色光入射下光栅杂散光测试仪的散射模型并对其进行仿真计算,分析仪器杂光的主要来源及散射路径,据此提出了用于降低仪器散射光和光栅多次衍射光的挡光环、叶片、光阑、光学陷阱等四种杂光抑制结构。最后,采用ASAP软件对增加抑制结构前后的仪器杂光相对强度进行了对照分析。仿真及分析结果表明,仪器杂光在测试波长±100 nm范围内的最大值由采用杂光抑制结构前的10-6量级以上降低至10-8量级以下,已满足光栅杂散光测试仪的设计需求,即可实现刻线密度为300～3 600 gr·mm-1的光栅杂散光10-7量级精确测量。该研究方法及结果将为平面光栅杂散光测试仪研制提供理论依据。

Reply to “comment on ‘resonant electric field enhancement in the vicinity of a bare metallic grating exposed to s-polarized light’ by E. Popov and L. Tsonev”

Popov and Tsonev's comments deal with an aluminum grating whereas our predictions of resonant field enhancements applied to a silver grating. They show that an aluminum grating absorbs, on the average, all the more incident visible light the deeper are the grooves. This results has already been obtained by other authors and is much less pronounced at longer wavelenghts so as to leave the possibility of resonant field enhancements for s-polarized infrared radiation striking aluminum gratings.     

强外加电场与大调制度下光折变动力学光栅形成研究

强外加电场与大调制度在光折变效应的研究中已经得到了广泛应用。采用PDECOL算法,严格求解光折变带输运方程,得到外加电场时不同调制度下光折变晶体中随时间变化的空间电荷场、载流子浓度,并讨论了外加电场对它们的影响。通过将物质方程与耦合波方程联立数值求解,可得到光折变光栅形成过程中两波耦合增益系数以及光束条纹相位的变化。模拟结果表明,在强外加电场作用下,两束记录光之间的光强与相位耦合都得到了增强,而原有的解析式忽视了强外加电场与大调制度对空间电荷场相位耦合的影响,此时不再适用。同时发现折射率光栅与记录光束条纹均发生弯曲,并不再保持平行。     

拼接光栅机械形变对远场光强的影响

分析了将多块较小的光栅使用机械拼接的方式制成超大面积光栅,能解决大面积光栅目前无法整块生产的情况,在实际拼接中光栅会出现很微量的应力变形。根据拼接光栅通常的形变特点,采用标量衍射理论建立了光栅形变的理论模型,并就两块光栅拼接的情况进行了计算和分析,发现形变同拼接误差一样,会对光栅的远场光强产生负面影响,微小的变形量都对远场光强造成破坏,因此对衍射光场的影响不可忽略;获得了光栅机械形变的容限;最后给出了预防形变的措施:可着重减小y方向上约束,并使用多层介质膜光栅降低光栅对能量的吸收。     

The quantum acousto-optic effect in Bose-Einstein condensate

We investigate the interaction between a single mode light field and an elongated cigar shaped Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), subject to a temporal modulation of the trap frequency in the tight confinement direction. Under appropriate conditions, the longitudinal sound like waves (Faraday waves) in the direction of weak confinement acts as a dynamic diffraction grating for the incident light field analogous to the acousto-optic effect in classical optics. The change in the refractive index due to the periodic modulation of the BEC density is responsible for the acousto-optic effect. The dynamics is characterised by Bragg scattering of light from the matter wave Faraday grating and simultaneous Bragg scattering of the condensate atoms from the optical grating formed due to the interference between the incident light and the diffracted light fields. Varying the intensity of the incident laser beam we observe the transition from the acousto-optic effect regime to the atomic Bragg scattering regime, where Rabi oscillations between two momentum levels of the atoms are observed. We show that the acousto-optic effect is reduced as the atomic interaction is increased.     

Space-charge grating kinetics in photorefractive crystals

Equations for the grating space-charge density and concentration of free carriers induced by a standing light wave in an anisotropic photorefractive crystal are derived and solved. The charge density and electric field are found to depend on the orientation of the graing relative to the crystal axes. It is shown that the grating kinetics is determined by the difference between two exponentials with characteristic times the sum of which can be treated as the decay constant of the grating. Three ranges of Maxwell relaxation times are distinguished, where this time constant behaves differently. The grating kinetics for a number of crystals is considered.

Dynamic shaping of vectorial optical fields based on two-dimensional blazed holographic grating

We propose a vectorial optical field generation system based on two-dimensional blazed grating to high-efficiently generate structured optical fields with prescribed amplitude, phase, and polarization. In this system, an optimized blazed grating hologram is written on a spatial light modulator(SLM) and can diffract the majority of the incident light into the first-order diffractions of the x and y directions, which then serve as base vectors for synthesizing desired vector beams.Compared with the conventional cosine grating used in the previous work, the proposed two-dimensional, blazed grating has a much higher efficiency. Both computer simulation and optical experiment validate that a conversion efficiency up to 5 times that of the former work is achieved. Our method can facilitate applications of the optical field manipulation.

Electromagnetically Induced Grating Without Absorption Using Incoherent Pump

We propose a scheme for creating electromagnetically induced grating in a four-level double- Λ atomic system driven by a coupling field and an incoherent pump field. Owing to the incoherent pumping process, large refractivity accompanied with vanishing absorption or even gain across the probe field can be built up in the atoms, thus phase grating or gain-phase grating, which diffracts a probe light into different directions, can be formed with the help of a standing-wave coupling field. The diffraction efficiency of the gratings can be tuned by the coupling field intensity and the incoherent pump rate, hence the proposed gratings should be suitable for beam splitter and optical switching in optical communication and networking.
