Electro-optical measurement of longitudinal dispersion in turbulent pipe flow

An attempt was made to correlate light beam absorption with the longitudinal dispersion of ink in turbulent pipe flow. Ink was injected into water flowing in a 2.22 cm ID pipe and the light beam produced by a laser traversed the pipe through transparent sections. Light beam attenuation by the ink pulse was measured with a photodiode and recorded by various means. Attenuation was measured at two locations downstream of the injection point. Since the attenuation was calibrated for ink density, theoretical prediction of the ink density distribution and the resulting light attenuation at the points of laser traverse was produced. The theoretical density distribution was based on only the first order source of longitudinal dispersion: the velocity gradient. The comparison between theory and experiment shows that, over a wide range of turbulence, dispersion was almost entirely due to velocity gradient and can be conveniently measured by the light beam absorption technique.     

Study of the frequency distribution of the fluorescent light induced by monochromatic radiation

The frequency distribution of the fluorescent light induced by monochromatic dye laser radiation was investigated. To exclude the influence of the Doppler width a strongly collimated atomic beam was used. The spectrum was measured by means of a piezoelectrically tunable spherical Fabry Perot. The interaction region between the laser light and the atomic beam was placed into the center of the interferometer. Thus the observed fluorescence spectrum was considerably more intense than in the case where the interferometer is used separately from the beam. The fluorescence spectrum was observed for different directions of polarization of the incident laser beam. In the case of weak excitation the spectrum consists of a sharp component essentially due to elastically scattered light. At high intensities a structure of three components is observed which is in agreement with theoretical predictions when circularly polarized light is used for excitation.

尾流后向散射光功率衰减特性研究

依据Mie理论光散射在0°和180°有明显增强的结论,应用自行设计的模拟尾流后向散射光功率实验系统在632.8 nm He-Ne激光器直接照明和扩束后照明两种条件下,对模拟尾流后向散射光功率衰减特性进行了研究.结果表明,用后向散射光功率进行探测时,考虑到散射光在水中传播的衰减,对近距离分布的气泡,使用扩束光照明效果较好;对较远距离分布的气泡,使用细光束照明效果较好,其可探测的距离要比扩束光远.     

部分空间非相干暗光伏孤子诱导一维波导研究

在光折变晶体LiNbO3∶Fe中观察到部分空间非相干光形成的一维暗光伏孤子,并由此暗光伏孤子在该晶体中诱导出一维波导.暗光伏孤子是由光折变晶体的强光伏效应产生,是晶体自散焦效应和衍射效应相平衡的结果;此外,光伏孤子的形成还依赖于光束的传播方向和晶体光轴与强度梯度的相对方向.在一维情况下,非相干光孤子诱导出单一的平面波导,能够对弱光敏的强光进行导光.实验证明了用低能量非相干光束控制转换高能量相干光束的可能性.

Atom funnel running with evanescent light generated by a thick hollow light beam

The use of a hollow light beam reduces the loss of atoms inside and outside an evanescent-light funnel. Therefore, we superimpose an LG₀₁ beam with a small hole onto a doughnut beam with a large outer diameter and couple the resultant hollow light beam to the 240-μm-wide outlet of an inverted trigonal-pyramidal funnel. Compared to the case where a Gaussian light beam is employed for generation of evanescent light, the flux intensity of the output cold ⁸⁷Rb atoms rises 13-fold when the inner diameter of the 4.5-mm wide hollow light beam is 1.7 times as large as the size of the outlet under optimal blue-detuning conditions.     

Frequency-swept ultrasound-modulated optical tomography in biological tissue by use of parallel detection

A frequency-swept ultrasonic beam was focused into a biological tissue sample to modulate the laser light passing through the ultrasonic beam inside the tissue. Parallel detection of the speckle field formed by the transmitted laser light was implemented with the source-synchronous-illumination lock-in technique to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. The ultrasound-modulated laser light reflects the local optical and mechanical properties in the ultrasonic beam and can be used for tomographic imaging of the tissue. Sweeping the ultrasonic frequency provides spatial resolution along the ultrasonic axis, which is scalable with the frequency span of the sweep. Two-dimensional images of biological tissue with buried objects were successfully obtained experimentally.

基于菲涅耳-基尔霍夫衍射积分理论,研究了端面泵浦固体激光器中泵浦源——LD阵列光纤耦合模块的输出光空间特性,及其对振荡光特性的影响。结果显示:LD阵列光纤耦合模块的输出光强分布不平滑,呈多尖峰分布,尖峰位置对LD光束指向角敏感,随指向角、空间排布等因素的变化而变化,是多种因素综合作用的结果;具有尖峰结构的泵浦光场对振荡光横模结构有直接影响,泵浦光尖峰位置越居中,光强径向分布曲线在轴心处越凸起,振荡光光束质量越好,越凹陷,振荡光光束质量越差,在激光器设计中应有针对性地具体考虑应对措施。     

Efficient conical emission of stimulated Raman Stokes light generated by a Bessel pump beam

Stimulated Raman scattering in H(2) gas was studied with a Bessel pump beam, which was generated with a binary phase grating. The first Stokes light was emitted along the surface of a cone, the angle of which was equal to the cone angle of the Bessel pump beam multiplied by the ratio of the wavelengths of the Stokes and pump beams. High conversion efficiency into the first Stokes light of as much as 60% was achieved, indicating that the complete Bessel J(0) mode of the pump beam is involved in the stimulated scattering process.

This self-action of a light beam is shown to cause a hyperbolic umbilic caustic. The intensity distribution and caustics calculated in the far diffraction zone of the light beam agree well with the experimental data.

蓝光半导体激光器激发荧光粉产生白光光源技术发展迅速,但由于大功率蓝光半导体激光器在快轴、慢轴方向的光场分布差别较大,使得日前激光照明整体光学性能仍旧较差,难以实现大规模推广应用。针对该问题,设计了一款高质量激光照明光学系统,基于蒙特卡洛光线追踪理论,对激光光束进行准直调控、均匀光斑整形以及对荧光片进行设计,使得整体光源模块各元件得到最佳整合,最终实现了窄光束激光照明。仿真结果表明:激光光源的光收集率达98.3%,激光光斑的不均匀度为1.7%,白光均匀度为98%,光斑是出射准直角为1.6°的方形窄光束白光光斑。     

抽运光对激光束空间分布影响程度的估算方法研究

为便于评价两种光场空间分布之间的偏离程度，引入一个数学参数δ进行研究。将该参数应用到谐振腔内分析了抽运光空间分布对基模振荡光光束质量的影响。这种影响主要表现为：若抽运光在激光介质中引起非均匀的增益分布，基模振荡光将偏离高斯分布。利用δ参数对这种影响的程度进行了定量估算。定量研究表明：δ参数可以直观地反映泵浦光分布对激光器光束质量的影响程度，而且在激光器的设计中δ参数的大小可衡量泵浦光分布的优劣。对于端面泵浦二极管泵浦固体激光器（DPL），稳恒运转下最理想的抽运光分布形式是高斯型抽运光，其半径等于谐振腔的基模高斯振荡光半径。

It is shown that the full four-dimensional Wigner transform of a coherent, rotationally symmetric light beam can be completely recovered by measurement, in one step, of the Wigner transform of an equivalent one-dimensional light beam. The method of generating this equivalent light beam from a two-dimensional circular light beam is presented.
