Changes in the Polarization Characteristics of He–Ne Laser Radiation Reflected From Plant Leaves

It is shown that the widest differences in the values and angular distributions of the polarization characteristics of the radiation reflected from the leaves of different kinds of plants are observed when a leaf is illuminated at an angle of 55° by He–Ne laser radiation ( = 0.63 m) linearly polarized in the plane of incidence. It has been found that the radiation reflected from a leaf becomes elliptically polarized at observation angles of 55° ± 10°. The ellipticity of the radiation reflected from a leaf depends on the thickness of the leaf plate and the position of the top or undersurface of the leaf relative to the direction of illumination.     

Polarization Characteristics of the He–Ne Laser Radiation Reflected from Rhododendron Leaves Subjected to Acid Treatment

Results of laboratory simulation experiments on the influence of H₂SO₄ solutions on the optical characteristics of the radiation reflected from Rhododendron smirnovii leaves illuminated at an angle of 55° by He–Ne laser radiation ( = 0.63 m) linearly polarized in the plane of incidence are presented. The coefficients of correlation between the optical characteristics of the reflected radiation, the concentration of the acid, and the pigment composition of the leaves have been calculated. It is shown that the influence of acidic stresses on the polarization characteristics of the radiation reflected from a leaf manifests itself indirectly as changes in the concentration of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b and changes in their ratio in the leaf when observation is performed at angles of 50–60°.     

He-Ne激光对增强UV-B辐射拟南芥抗氧化系统的损伤修复

以培养6周左右的拟南芥为材料,采用UV-B辐射（剂量1 KJ/m2/d）和He-Ne激光器（波长632.8 nm,输出功率5 mW·mm2,辐照时间60 s）对材料进行处理,分成CK（没有经过UV-B或激光辐照）组、B(UV-B辐射)组、BL（UV-B和激光复合处理）组和L（激光辐照）组4个不同处理组.结果表明:增强的UV-B辐射拟南芥幼苗导致MDA(Malondialdehyde)、超氧阴离子含量升高,GSH(Glutathione)含量降低,PAL(phenylalanine ammomia-lyase)、CAT(catalase)和APX(ascorbate peroxidase)活性升高,SOD(supemxide dismutas)活性降低.单独He-Ne激光处理使MDA、超氧阴离子含量降低,GSH的含量升高,SOD、APX、CAT的活性升高,PAL的活性降低.UV-B辐射后再用He-Ne激光进行后处理,发现与单独UV-B辐照处理相比,MDA、超氧阴离子含量降低,GSH含量升高,SOD、APX、CAT的活性升高了,PAL的活性降低了.因此激光在一定程度上提高了拟南芥叶片抗氧化能力,在此基础上讨论了其可能的形成机理.     

Statistical Properties of the Polarized Radiation of a Dye–Solution Laser

Within the framework of the method of polarization components we obtained the Fokker–Planck equation for the intensity–distribution function of an individual component. Solutions for the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process show that the experimentally observed special features in the behavior of the distribution function of the intensity and degree of polarization of laser radiation in the vicinity of the threshold are well described in the approximation of statistical independence of polarization components. However, since the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process includes states not realizable physically for the given case, an exact solution of the Fokker–Planck equation is constructed by the method of expansion in eigenstates. It is shown that this solution is totally correct physically and yields virtually the same values for the distribution functions of the intensity and degree of polarization of radiation as the dependences obtained earlier for the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process.     

Luminescence of Higher Plants upon Excitation by Laser Radiation with Different Energy and Time Parameters

The luminescence response of the leaves of higher plants exposed to laser radiation with different energy and time parameters has been investigated at a wavelength of 685 nm. The plants were irradiated by laser radiation at 1060, 632, and 530 nm. Radiation at = 632 nm was used as the control. It is shown that radiation at = 1060 nm suppresses photosynthesis, whereas that at = 530 nm stimulates it.     

Study of the Effect of Pulsed-Periodic Electric Field and Linearly Polarized Laser Radiation on the Properties of Liquid-Crystal Waveguide

Integrated-optical waveguides with a nematic liquid-crystal 4-cyano-4’-pentylbiphenyl (5CB) waveguiding layer have been investigated for different polarizations of incident laser radiation and under a pulsed-periodic electric field. A dependence of the damping coefficient of waveguide modes and the sizes of quasi-steady-state irregularities of nematic liquid-crystal layer on the linear polarization of laser radiation and the strength of pulsed-periodic field has been found experimentally. The correlation length is estimated for waveguiding layer irregularities. The waveguide scattering method has provided a resolution in correlation length exceeding the classical resolution limit by approximately an order of magnitude. The observed decrease in the damping coefficient of waveguide modes and irregularity sizes under external field is explained by the decrease in the correlation length of director fluctuations.

Influence of Radiation Polarization on the Nonlinear Response of a Semiconductor Laser with Pump Current Modulation

The influence of various lasing-radiation polarization states and types of optical dipole transitions on the nonlinear amplitude-detuning characteristics of quantum-well semiconductor lasers with pump current modulation has been theoretically investigated. It has been established that the narrowest spectral interval, where the response is nonzero, is realized in the case of TM-mode radiation and transitions to the heavy-hole states as well as in the case of TE-mode radiation and transitions to the light-hole states.     

Generation of THz Radiation by Laser Plasma Interaction

This paper presents the three wave parametric decay process to generate the Terahertz (THz) radiations in magnetized plasma. The pump wave (Laser beam) is considered in the extraordinary mode (x‐mode), propagating perpendicular to the background magnetic field. This pump wave decays into an upper hybrid wave and a THz wave which is in magnetosonic mode. The appropriate expressions for the coupling coefficients of the threewave interaction and THz wave amplitude have been derived. Subsequently, the growth rate of this decay instability is also calculated. Various laser and plasma parameters were optimized and we report efficiency of the order of ～1.4 × 10^–2 for current scheme. (© 2013 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Laser polarimetry of the orientation structure of bone tissue osteons

A matrix method is proposed for describing polarization properties of biological tissues as an aggregate of uniaxial crystal structures. We investigated 25 μm-thick histological sections of compact bone tissue which provided single light scattering. It is shown that in this case there exists a unique relationship between the polarization parameters of the boundary laser field and the parameters of anisotropy and orientation of the structural elements of biological tissue. On this basis, contactless methods of laser polarimetry of histological sections of bone tissue have been proposed.

目标表面发射率对红外辐射偏振特性的影响分析

偏振探测不仅可以获得目标的光谱、强度、偏振态以及空间几何形状等参数,还可以获得更丰富的目标信息,有利于改善对目标的探测和识别能力。红外辐射偏振成像是近年来发展起来的一种新的红外探测技术,主要通过目标与场景的红外辐射偏振特性差异进行目标探测与识别。但由于红外辐射偏振信息在传输过程中,其偏振态会受到传输介质的影响,而通常基于实验分析总结目标红外偏振特性的方法难以对偏振传输过程中的影响因素进行估计,也不能定量描述各相关参数对于红外偏振信息的影响。通过微面元理论的双向反射分布函数模型,建立了基于偏振双向反射分布函数的红外辐射偏振传输方程, 推导分析了目标表面发射率对红外辐射偏振度的影响,结果表明：目标表面发射率对目标红外偏振度影响可以忽略;在理论分析基础上,有针对性的开展红外光谱偏振探测试验,试验数据分析与理论推导结论吻合。这表明：材料表面发射率的变化不影响目标表面的红外辐射偏振度。该研究成果有利于提高红外伪装探测的目标识别效率,可为进一步提高红外偏振成像系统的伪装目标探测提供新的途径和方法,如在伪装目标探测识别中,通过探测其表面的红外辐射偏振特性的改变实现伪装目标识别探测。     

The reflection and scattering of light by a plant leaf

The spectral polarization characteristics of the visible radiation reflected and scattered by a plant leaf were investigated. Measurements of the spectral brightness coefficient, the directed reflection coefficients, and the degree and azimuth of polarization of radiation reflected from a leaf were performed at different angles of incidence of radiation on the leaf and different angles of observation. More than 500 measurements were performed for 36 samples. Maple (Acer platanoides) leaves from different trees were used as objects of investigation. Peculiarities of the mechanism of formation of the flux of radiation reflected from a plant leaf have been revealed. Belarussian State University, 4, F. Skorina Ave., Minsk, 220080, Belarus.

Indicatrices of the Radiation Intensity of Laser Plasma Formations in the Air

We have investigated the indicatrices of the visible and IR radiation of laser plasma formed under irradiation of cadmium, indium, and silicon in the air by radiation from a monopulsed neodymium laser with a power density at the irradiation spot of up to 12 GW/cm² on the first harmonic and up to 4 GW/cm² on the second harmonic. It is shown that the radiant intensity indicatrices have a prolate form depending on the target material, the spectral range of observation, and the power density of the acting laser radiation. The radiant intensity of laser plasma in the 0.3–4.2 m range is approximately proportional to the laser radiation power density and depends on the target material.
