Orbital angular momentum crosstalk of single photons propagation in a slant non-Kolmogorov turbulence channel

We analyze the orbital angular momentum (OAM) crosstalk of single photons propagation through low-order atmospheric turbulence. The probability models of the orbital angular momentum crosstalk for single photons propagation in the channel with the non-Kolmogorov turbulence tilt, coma, and astigmatism and defocus aberration have been established. It is found, for α = 11/3, that the turbulent tilt is the dominant aberration which causes the orbital angular momentum crosstalk, the coma is second and the astigmatism is third, but the defocus aberration has no impact on OAM. The results also indicate that the regularities of orbital angular momentum crosstalk caused by the tilt, the coma and the astigmatism are almost the same, respectively. The crosstalk probability of the orbital angular momentum increases as the azimuth mode index p of Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beam increases, the turbulent strength C_n² enhances, the orbital angular momentum quantum number rises, the diameter of circular sampling aperture D and the channel zenith angle θ increase.

The probability of orbital angular momentum states of single photons with Z-tilt corrected residual aberration in a slant path turbulent atmosphere

With Rytov approximation and Kolmogorov spectrum model of index-of-refraction fluctuation, we study the effects of turbulence aberration on the orbital angular momentum of single photons in atmospheric communication channel. A theoretical model of measurement probabilities of orbital angular momentum states for single photons propagation under the Zernike tilt corrected slant path turbulent atmosphere channel is established. Our research shows that tilt-corrected residual aberration not only damage the initial OAM, but also induce new OAM. With the increasing of D/ρ₀, the number of the initial OAM photons will go down while the effective number of new OAM ascends. Meanwhile, the receiving probability of initial OAM photons declines, as the turbulence shifts from weak to strong. For Zernike tilt-corrected residual aberration, the receiving probability of initial OAM photons declines as the diameter of detector increases. The effect of Zernike tilt-corrected residual aberration on OAM of the photons is more larger than the effect of Zernike tilt turbulent aberration.

Effects of multi-Schell beams on orbital angular momentum of entangled signal photons in low-order turbulence aberration channels

We model the detection and crosstalk probability of orbital angular momentum (OAM) states of the entangled signal photon in the Kolmogorov channels of the low-order turbulence aberrations and by the Rytov approximation. The results show that lower OAM mode number of signal photons and larger sub-beam number of multi-Gaussian Schell-model pump beam, the less susceptible of the detection probability of the signal photon to spatial coherence of source and turbulence aberrations is achieved. The maximum crosstalk probability is decrease as the decreasing of the sub-beam number of multi-Gaussian Schell-model. Enlarging OAM difference value or decreasing sub-beam number of multi-Gaussian Schell-model pump beam results in a lower crosstalk probability of the OAM of entangled signal photons.

Ocular aberrations in the peripheral visual field

We modified a commercial Hartmann-Shack aberrometer and used it to measure ocular aberrations twice at each of 38 points across the central 42 degrees horizontal x 32 degrees vertical visual fields of five young emmetropic subjects. Some Zernike aberration coefficients show coefficient field distributions that were similar to the field dependence predicted by Seidel theory (astigmatism, oblique astigmatism, horizontal coma, vertical coma), but defocus did not demonstrate such similarity.     

Effect of Coma Aberration on Orbital Angular Momentum Spectrum of Vortex Beams

Spiral spectra of vortex beams with coma aberration are studied. It is shown that the orbital angular momentum （OAM） states of vortex beams with coma aberration are different from those aberration-free vortex beams. Spiral spectra of beams with coma aberration are spreading. It is found that in the presence of coma aberration, the vortex beams contain not only the original OAM component but also other components. A larger coma aberration coefficient and/or a larger beam waist will lead to a wider spreading of the spiral spectrum. The results may have potential applications in information encoding and transmittance.     

Effects of low order atmosphere-turbulence aberrations on the vortex carrying Gaussian beam

The normalized intensity distributions at the focal plane of a vortex carrying Gaussian beam propagating in weak/middle turbulent atmosphere channel with z-tilt aberration, defocus aberration, astigmatism aberration or total turbulent aberration are discussed by numerical calculation. Our results show that the effect of z-tilt aberration on the intensity distribution of optical vortex beam is main effect of total turbulent aberration. In weak turbulent region, the effects of defocus and astigmatism aberration on the intensity distribution of a vortex carrying Gaussian beam can be ignored. In middle turbulent region, the effect of z-tilt aberration is still the most significant, but the effects of defocus and astigmatism aberrations, specially the effect of astigmatism on the center dark core of the intensity distribution at focal plane, can no longer be disregarded. Our results also show that for three low order aberrations, the beam with values of the topological charge, the beam have larger beam-radius and undergo smaller effects of z-tilt turbulent aberration on the doughnut distribution. For defocus aberration, the radius of the center dull of beam intensity increases with the values of topological charges increasing. And for astigmatism aberration, the beam with odd number topological charges, the center dull speck of beam intensity becomes to the bright speck. But for even number topological charges, the center dull speck of beam intensity maintains the dull one.

Ghost imaging of Multi-Gaussian Schell-model beams in the Z-tilt aberration corrected channels

Based on the optical coherent theory and the extended Huygens–Fresnel integral, lensless ghost imaging of Multi-Gaussian Schell-model beams through the slant non-Kolmogorov turbulence channels with Z-tilt aberration correction has been studied and the theoretical models have been derived. Our results indicate that the nearer of object to illuminant plane, the larger beam width and the more beamlet number are, the more fine of image quality is. The undersize of illumination light source will cause the quality decline of ghost imaging and the image quality of the object illuminated by the incoherent light are worse than that of illuminated by partially coherent light.     

Information fusion method for ocular aberrations measurement based on subjective visual compensation

The human eye is an imperfect refractive system which not only has defocus and astigmatism, but also has spherical aberration, coma and anomalistic high-order aberrations, all of which have certain influence on the imaging quality of retina. What's worse, aberration is further enlarged as a result of mydriasis in dark field and weak light, thus making the vision performance of human eyes far below diffraction limitation. Further research revealed that human eye visual imaging is not only connected with refractive system, but also is closely related to the subjective judgment of human brain and the process of neural system. In order to overcome the deficiencies, wave-front aberration measurement method and system that has subjective visual compensation is proposed and conducted in combination with objective measurement, which ensures more accurate and realistic measuring results. The experimental data revealed that wave-front aberration obtained from subjective visual compensation measuring method is smaller than objective measurement, which is the result of subjects’ adaptive correction when watching sighting targets. In addition, when subjects are watching different sighting targets, the fluctuation value of wavefront aberration is small. Therefore, it is concluded that subjective visual compensation measuring method contributes to aberration measuring improvement and obtains results match with the realistic state by taking into consideration the actual condition of human eyes when watching targets. Hopefully, these discoveries will be of positive and beneficial value to the determination of human eye aberration treatment.     

二次曲面共形整流罩像差影响因素分析

传统整流罩为半球形或半球形的一部分,产生的空气阻力较大,不利于武器飞行速度的提高。基于空气动力学性能的考虑,采用共形整流罩的光学技术被提出。文章描述了二次曲面共形整流罩外表面、内表面的设计方法及面型表达式,通过在CODEV中建立共形整流罩的扫描成像模型,应用Zernike多项式分解法研究了不同长径比、边缘斜率、口径比和回转中心位置对离焦像差(Z4)、像散(Z5)、彗差(Z8)和球差(Z9)的影响规律。研究结果表明:二次曲面共形整流罩引入的离焦像差、像散、彗差和球差均随着长径比、边缘斜率和口径比的增加而增大,但对成像系统回转中心的位置不敏感。因此,在满足武器的空气动力学性能条件下应尽量减小长径比、边缘斜率和口径比,回转中心的位置主要根据结构需要进行设计。     

大气湍流像差散焦和像散与高斯涡旋光束焦面光强

分别研究了构成大气湍流波像差中的散焦和像散两个低阶像差对高斯涡旋激光束传输和成像的影响.采用菲涅耳-基尔霍夫衍射积分理论和大气湍流波相位结构函数的平方近似研究了聚焦高斯涡旋光束在大气湍流中散焦和像散影响下焦面光强的分布特性.导出了斜程传输条件下接收面上平均光强分布的积分表达式,并采用数值模拟方法研究湍流强度、传输距离和拓扑电荷对焦面光强的调制规律.结果表明:在弱湍流起伏区域,散焦和像散两类像差对高斯涡旋光束的光强分布影响都很小,可以忽略;在中等湍流区域,随着光束传输距离和湍流强度的增加,两类像差都导致高斯涡旋光束的光强峰值降低、束径扩展、中心暗斑扩大.当单拓扑电荷高斯涡旋光束传输时,在同等传输条件下,像散导致的光强峰值降低比散焦更严重,主亮斑区域外的次级亮环强度更大,光斑和中心暗斑扩展更明显.与单拓扑电荷光束相比较,散焦和像散导致双拓扑电荷光束的扩展更加明显,中心光斑更大,亮环区域外的次级亮环更明显;但是,由于光的相干性的降低和光束的偏折效应,像散导致光束中心的暗斑变为次级亮斑.

The effects of non-Kolmogorov turbulence on the orbital angular momentum of a photon-beam propagation in a slant channel

We analyze the effects of non-Kolmogorov turbulence on the orbital angular momentum of a photon-beam propagation through atmosphere. The probability models of the orbital angular momentum crosstalk for single photons propagation in the channel with the non-Kolmogorov turbulence aberration have been established. It is found that the crosstalk among orbits increases as the orbital angular momentum quantum number of launch beam rises, the ground turbulence strength ${C_n^{2} \left( 0 \right)}$ enhances or the non-Kolmogorov parameter α of turbulence-channel increases. As non-Kolmogorov parameter α approaches 4, the crosstalk probabilities among neighbor orbits are approximately the same.     

A Variation of Schwarzschild Telescope: Golden Section Solution with Two Concentric Spheres and Its Extension to Finite Distance Solutions

Imaging by two concentric spheres is studied by geometrical method. As the system is symmetric with respect to the common center of curvature, peripheral aberrations, namely coma, astigmatism, and distortion, do not appear. The imaging surface is a sphere that shares the center of curvature with two mirrors. As we solve the zero spherical aberration condition for imaging of an object at infinite distance, the golden section number appears as the ratio of the distance between two mirrors and the radius of the primary mirror. For imaging of an object at finite distance, we have to increase the radius of the second mirror. This system also has no peripheral aberrations. Making the object surface spherical, we can obtain a flat image surface. As the spherical aberration is zero in the original system, spherical aberration, coma, and astigmatism remain zero when the object surface is curved.     

Average capacity of free-space optical systems for a partially coherent beam propagating through non-Kolmogorov turbulence

The performance of partially coherent free-space optical links is investigated in the moderate to strong fluctuation regime of non-Kolmogorov turbulence. The expressions for large- and small-scale log-irradiance flux variance are obtained in non-Kolmogorov turbulence. By employing the gamma-gamma distribution of irradiance fluctuations, the effects of spatial coherence of the source, index of non-Kolmogorov spectrum, and size of the receiver on channel capacity for horizontal links are discussed. Results show that channel capacity presents fluctuating behaviors with the variation of alpha for longer links and increases for alpha values higher than 11/3.
