空间外差光谱仪干涉图非均匀性校正研究

空间外差光谱仪在研制加工过程中,由于加工误差及胶合误差会使CCD接收到的干涉图存在光强分布不均匀现象,降低了变换光谱的准确性。基于对空间外差光谱仪干涉图光强非均匀性的产生机制与特点分析基础上,提出了一种干涉图非均匀性校正方法,该方法通过对实际干涉图进行单调分解、分段归一化及重新组合过程求解出光强分布函数,然后将变换光谱与光强分布函数倒数的傅里叶变换结果进行卷积来获得非均匀性校正后的光谱,最后将校正光谱进行逆傅里叶变换从而实现干涉图的非均匀性校正。将此方法应用于空间外差试验仪的近红外实测单色光干涉图的非均匀性校正,结果显示,该方法可以有效改善干涉图光强分布的非均匀性,抑制变换光谱的边频信号,通过与仿真的理想光谱对比,1 571和1 572 nm光谱校正前后噪声的减小率分别达到40.7%和24%,提高了光谱信噪比和准确性。     

Diffraction of pulsed laser radiation from an acoustic wave with frequency- and phase-shift keying

Bragg acoustooptic diffraction of nanosecond pulsed laser radiation from a frequency- and/or phase-keyed acoustic wave is studied experimentally and theoretically for exact synchronization of laser pulses and signal keying. It is shown that the diffraction field for short pulses is practically stationary and is determined by the positions of acoustic signal keying over signal aperture. The application of this type of signals for the formation of a multibeam diffraction pulsed radiation field is considered. A method is proposed for transforming the angular spectrum of laser radiation intensity from the initial Gaussian to a nearly rectangular spectrum. This may considerably increase the efficiency of high-power technological lasers used in material processing (laser cutting, welding, engraving, etc.), in which the action of radiation is of the thresh-old type in light intensity. The possibility of correcting the angular intensity distribution for a pulsed fiber laser, which increases the thermal efficiency of radiation from such a laser, is established experimentally.     

The measurement of amplitude and phase characteristics of time-varying optical inhomogeneities in transparent media

The solution of the phase problem in optics is considered as applied to the problems of studying time-varying amplitude and phase characteristics of a medium with the use of the spectral modulation method, in particular, for ultrashort times. The analysis is carried out by way of transilluminating the medium or the object under study with a probing optical signal with a known structure. The information required is extracted by directly recording intensity distributions for the spectrum of the probing signal transmitted through the medium and for the spectrum of the signal transmitted through the medium and subjected to additional modulation formed in a special way. The modulation should provide, to some extent, a visualization of the phase information. Two varyings of the analysis are considered. The first varying is related to the action of the medium under study on probing radiation in the form of its temporal modulation. The second varying is associated with the study of media whose action on radiation leads to redistribution of radiation in time and is described by convolution.

基于空间外差的拉曼信号处理方法研究

空间外差拉曼光谱技术是近年兴起的一种超光谱探测技术,它既具有拉曼光谱测量的非接触、快速、简单、可重复、无需样品准备等特点,更具有空间外差的超光谱分辨率、高通量、无运动部件优点,能在被测物质特征波长中心范围探测,实现微弱拉曼光信号的直接测量。由于被测信号微弱、光学元件加工精度、器件封装及仪器安装误差等原因,会导致空间外差拉曼光谱仪(SHRS)接收到的干涉图存在光强分布不均匀、干涉条纹倾斜或扭曲等现象,从而使普通光谱恢复方法得到光谱信号准确度下降或无法识别。根据SHRS探测到的干涉图所存在的误差特点,将二维傅里叶变换应用于SHRS干涉图的光谱复原,提出基于二维频域谱重采样的最强直线方向光谱提取方法,以实现SHRS光谱的获取。提取过程为：将采集的目标干涉图进行二维傅里叶变换,获得二维频谱图,通过使用相同实验系统采集的单波长或多波长光源的二维频谱信号特征峰的位置信息,拟合获取光信息强度最大方向直线方程。然后根据该直线与目标二维频谱图各列交点坐标位置,确定重采样贡献像元及权重。对拟合直线方程经过的所有列像元进行重采样,得到最终的光谱信号。将该方法应用于自行搭建实验系统采集的三叶草干涉图数据,同时与其他方法光谱复原结果进行对比。结果表明：与一维行平均光谱法比较,该方法获取的光谱在探测波段中心区域信号强度更加明显,同时消除了探测器热噪声的影响;与二维频谱中心行直接提取法比较,该方法是该方法的改进版本,两者结果比较接近。但是由于考虑到干涉条纹y分量的影响,沿二维频谱信号最强方向重采样得到的最终光谱,其主峰半峰宽更窄、边频噪声强度更小,且随着y分量的增加,光谱复原效果及优势将越发明显。该方法是空间外差拉曼光谱技术数据处理的一种有益补充与尝试。

Diffraction of light in intermediate regime of acoustooptical interaction at oblique incidence

The diffraction of light by ultrasound in an isotropic medium at arbitrarily small angles of incidence onto the acoustic layer is calculated. The intermediate regime of diffraction is considered, for which the conditions of observation of the Raman-Nath and Bragg diffraction are not satisfied in terms of the wave parameter. The effect of the acoustooptical interaction length and angle between the incident light beam and the acoustic wave on the light intensity distribution over the diffraction peaks is studied as a function of the acoustic power. Specific features of the transition from the Raman-Nath to the Bragg diffraction regime through the intermediate regime of diffraction are analyzed.     

Computer generated phase holograms (kinoforms) for millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths

Computer generated Fourier transform phase holograms, known as kinoforms, have been synthesized, manufactured and their performance evaluated at a wavelength of 3 mm (100 GHz). The kinoforms were synthesized to give a prescribed far-field intensity distribution and manufactured by milling the computed kinoform surface relief into a Teflon plate, using a numerically controlled milling machine. The measured diffraction efficiencies exceed 50 percent. Millimeter-wave kinoforms can be used in various quasi-optical applications,e.g. distributing a local oscillator signal to an array of detector elements in heterodyne receivers.     

Use of the application of heterodyne laser interferometer in power ultrasonics

We are particularly interested in the measurement of nonlinear acoustic waves in air, within the range of the Raman-Nath diffraction regime. We used a heterodyne laser interferometric system with a Bragg cell frequency of 80 MHz. A harmonic power acoustic wave with a frequency in the range of 20 kHz was generated, but higher harmonics appear when nonlinear propagation occurs in restricted volumes or waveguides. This topic raises a number of interesting questions. The most complex problem arises when processing an extremely wide-band output signal from a photo-detector, where the signal contains a huge number of high amplitude harmonics in a measured acoustic signal. The wide-band output signal from nonlinear wave measurement was simulated by means of similar wide-band output signals obtained by measuring known dynamic mechanical displacements. Because the frequency band of common analog circuits used for signal processing is too narrow, the output signal from the interferometer was digitalized and processed. This paper discusses the results of these tests and provides estimates of the frequency restrictions of signal processing.

Analysis of the amplitude and phase structure of transmitting media with probing field registration in the image plane

The problem of obtaining information on the amplitude and phase internal structure of a medium in which radiation propagates is considered. The information is extracted by probing the medium; the information on the amplitude and phase distribution of the probing field behind the transmitting medium in the plane of image formation is analyzed. A modified version of the modulation-spectral method proposed earlier by the authors is applied. In this version, there is no need to act on the probing field in the plane under investigation. The interpretation of results is simplified since the image is registered. Two versions of the schematic solution are analyzed. The first version corresponds to the experimental scheme intended for media that produce a modulating action on radiation and is described by multiplication by a complex function characterizing the action. The second version corresponds to the case when the action of the medium leads to a redistribution of radiation and can be presented by the convolution of the probing signal and the function describing the action.     

双强度调制偏振光谱测量原理及仿真

针对单强度调制偏振光谱测量技术存在混叠且有效光程差有限的缺点,提出双强度调制偏振光谱测量新方法,该方法通过双强度调制干涉信号的和差处理,即保证单强度调制偏振光谱测量的优点,又能有效消除混叠现象,提高有效光程差和光谱分辨率,再对和差处理后的干涉信号进行傅里叶变换即可得到被测偏振光谱。文章对双强度调制偏振光谱测量方法进行了理论推导,并通过MATLAB对模拟入射光偏振光谱的干涉信号和傅里叶反演光谱进行仿真;仿真结果显示,该方法和差处理后可有效消除混叠且有效光程差提高一倍。通过理论分析和仿真验证了该方法的可行性,为进一步的工程实现提供理论支撑。     

Angular splitting of the Bragg diffraction order in an acoustooptical modulator due to a frequency-modulated acoustic wave

Effects of angular splitting of the Bragg diffraction order arising in light acoustooptical diffraction by a frequency-modulated acoustic wave are considered. These effects occur when the size of the light spot in the acoustooptical interaction zone exceeds the characteristic spatial period of the modulating function. The Bragg diffraction order is found to be split into several beams. The directions of the additional beams, their number, and intensities are determined by the modulation parameters. In particular, there occurs a situation where the diffracted field consists of three beams of equal intensity spaced at a distance approximately equal to the diffraction divergence of the incident beam and the diffraction total efficiency is of the order of 100%. Therein lies the difference between this diffraction regime and the case where several independent acoustic waves are generated in the interaction domain and the diffraction total efficiency is limited to the intermodulation arisen. The effect is used in design of modulators for systems of image plotting with the help of high-power lasers.     

Modulation-spectral method for analyzing the amplitude-phase structure of optical inhomogeneities of objects

An original solution to the phase problem in optics is considered as applied to the problems of recording and analysis of the amplitude-phase structure of optical fields used for studying fine structures and inhomogeneities in steady-state objects producing effects to fractions of the wavelength period. The problem is solved by probing objects using radiation with a known structure. Intensity distributions of the probing field are detected at the exit from the object by using the modulation-spectral method directly for the spatial frequency spectrum and for the spatial frequency spectrum subjected to additional modulation formed in a special way, which is realized in the plane under study and provides visualization of the phase information contained in the light field in some form. The intensity distributions obtained make it possible to calculate the two-dimensional amplitude-phase structure of the field analyzed and, hence, the fine structure of the optical inhomogeneities of the object analyzed for the chosen probing direction. For steady-state objects, probing in a number of directions is possible. Information on the bulk structure of the inhomogeneities under study can be obtained by using the information available on the symmetry of the object. Two variants of action of the medium on probing radiation are considered. In the first one, the action is related to spatial field modulation (described by the multiplication operation); in the second one, the action leads to redistribution of radiation in the plane studied (described by the convolution operation).

A theoretical method based on Fourier spectrum analysis for the focusing performances of the X-ray compound refractive lenses

It is important to predict the intensity distribution in focusing plane for designing the X-ray compound refractive lenses. On the basis of analyzing the structure of X-ray compound lenses and comparing it with Fraunhofer diffraction system, it is concluded that the X-ray focusing system can be regarded as a kind of Fraunhofer diffraction system. Therefore, a method based on Fourier spectrum analysis is presented to predict the intensity distribution in the focusing plane for the X-ray lenses. A brief analysis on the relationship between the parameters of X-ray lenses and their focusing performance is also given in this paper.     

Heterodyne detection of random Gaussian signals in the optical and infrared: optimization of pulse duration

The performance of a heterodyne system in estimating the mean intensity of a gaussian random signal depends on the mean number of photocarriers released by the signal radiation in its coherence volume (degeneracy parameter). In a pulsed radar, this parameter can be manipulated by varying the pulse duration while keeping the mean number of signal photocarriers constant. Furthermore, in a number of situations of practical interest, an optimal pulse duration exists, corresponding to a degeneracy parameter of unity. Heterodyne and direct detection are compared for this case, and direct detection is found to be superior in the strong-signal limit.
