Recording Fractional Fourier Transform Hologram Using Holographic Zone Plate

FRTH(fractional Fourier transform hologram) is a new kind of hologram that differs from common Fresnel holograms and Fourier transform holograms. Due to the flexibility of zone plate. A method that uses the -1 order diffraction wave of zone plate as the object wave and the 0 order diffraction wave as the reference wave to record FRTH is presented. It provides a new simple way to record FRTH. In this paper, the theory of achieving FRT and recording FRTH using holographic zone plate is presented and experimental results are given.

Application of Cosine Zone Plates to Image Encryption

We analyse the diffraction result of optical field after Cosine zone plate, and theoretically deduce its transform matrix. Under some conditions, its diffraction distribution is a mixture of fractional Fourier spectra. Then we use Cosine zone plate and its diffraction result to image encryption. Possible optical image encryption and decryption implementations are proposed, and some numerical simulation results are also provided.     

Nonuniform sampled angular spectrum method by using trigonometric interpolation

The angular spectrum method(ASM) is a popular numerical approach for scalar diffraction calculations. However,traditional ASM has an inherent problem in that nonuniform sampling is precluded. In an attempt to address this limitation,an improved trigonometric interpolation ASM(TIASM) is proposed, in which the fast Fourier transform(FFT) is replaced by a trigonometric interpolation. The results show that TIASM is more suitable to situations in which the source field has a simple and strong frequency contrast, irrespective of whether the original phase distribution is a plane wave or a Fresnel zone plate phase distribution.

Successive diffraction model based on Fourier optics as a tool for the studies of light interaction with arbitrary ultrasonic field

In this paper we presented theoretical predictions of light diffraction by complex acoustic fields such as: two adjacent and superposed ultrasonic beams or ultrasound of cylindrical symmetry. The numerical calculations of light intensity of diffraction orders were performed by means of two methods: Nth Order Approximation (NOA) and Successive Diffraction Model (SDM) based on Fourier optics. The latter technique involves dividing the ultrasonic field into several adjacent sections provided that in each section the interaction of light and ultrasound is considered to fulfill Raman-Nath approximation. Propagation of light inside and behind the region with ultrasonic wave was described within the formalism of Fourier optics so that only both transfer and transmission functions had to be appropriately defined. It was revealed that SDM method based on Fourier optics might be applied in the studies of acousto-optic interaction in the cases of complex ultrasonic fields.     

Far-field approximation for a point-excited anisotropic plate

An analytic approximation is derived for the far-field response of a generally anisotropic plate to a time-harmonic point force acting normal to the plate. This approximation quantifies the directivity of the flexural wave field that propagates away from the force, which is expected to be useful in the design and testing of anisotropic plates. Derivation of the approximation begins with a two-dimensional Fourier transform of the flexural equation of motion. Inversion to the spatial domain is accomplished by contour integration over the radial component of wave number followed by an application of the method of stationary phase to integration over the circumferential component of wave number. The resulting approximation resembles that of an isotropic plate but involves wave numbers, wave amplitudes, and phases that depend on propagation angle. Numerical results for a plate comprised of bonded layers of a graphite-epoxy material illustrate the accuracy of the method compared to a numerical simulation based on discrete Fourier analysis. Three configurations are analyzed in which the relative angles of the layers are varied. In all cases, the agreement is quite good when the distance between force and observation point is greater than a few wavelengths.

Tomographie a l'aide du reseau zone de Fresnel. Simulation numerique de la reconstruction optique

In this paper a new method of emission tomography using coded apertures is analysed. The coded image of a radioactive distribution is created using a single linear Fresnel zone plate. The decoding procedure is performed using a computer algorithm simulating the optical phenomenon. This numerical reconstruction requires bidimensional Fourier transform algorithms. On the contrary, a linear Fresnel zone plate only requires a one dimensional Fourier transform algorithms is workable in most of the available nuclear medicine computers. The experimental results demonstrated the focalisation properties of this code (tomographic effect) and the parameters found after numerical reconstruction were similar to those expected from the optical theory. Practically, this technique should make it possible to perform morphological studies of moving organs, i.e. dynamic tomography which should be for example very helpful in cardiac studies.     

Scattering and diffraction of a plane wave from a randomly rough strip

This paper deals with plane wave scattering and diffraction from a randomly rough strip using a combination of three tools: the perturbation method, the Wiener-Hopf technique and a group-theoretic consideration based on the shift-invariant property of the homogeneous random surface. The D^a-Fourier transformation associated with the shift invariance is defined instead of the conventional complex Fourier transformation. For a slightly rough case, Wiener-Hopf equations for the zero-, first- and second-order perturbed fields are derived. They are reduced to a common Wiener-Hopf equation, an exact solution of which is obtained formally by means of the Wiener-Hopf technique. Using the inverse D^a-Fourier transformation, the scattered wavefield is obtained as a stochastic field. When the strip width is large compared with the wavelength, a uniformly asymptotic representation of the scattered far field is obtained by the saddle point method. For a Gaussian roughness spectrum, several numerical results are calculated and illustrated in figures, based on which the characteristics of scattering and diffraction are discussed.

Point source diffraction by a slit in a moving fluid

The diffraction of a spherical acoustic wave generated by a point source from impedance slit in a moving fluid is investigated. The diffracted wave is calculated in the far field regime as a sum of fields produced by the edges of the slit and an incident field. The Myers’ impedance conditions are assumed along the edges of the slit. Such conditions are well adopted for the boundaries of the impedance barriers and yield reliable predictions of the diffraction patterns. A Wiener–Hopf technique is invoked to resolve the problem in combination with Fourier transform techniques and asymptotic analysis. The appositeness of the results and the effect of pertinent physical parameters on the separated field are presented and analyzed graphically.     

Reflection and transmission coefficients for guided waves reflected by defects in viscoelastic material plates

The paper presents a Fourier transform-based signal processing procedure for quantifying the reflection and transmission coefficients and mode conversion of guided waves diffracted by defects in plates made of viscoelastic materials. The case of the S(0) Lamb wave mode incident on a notch in a Perspex plate is considered. The procedure is applied to numerical data produced by a finite element code that simulates the propagation of attenuated guided modes and their diffraction by the notch, including mode conversion. Its validity and precision are checked by the way of the energy balance computation and by comparison with results obtained using an orthogonality relation-based processing method.     

Non-diffuseness of vibration fields in ribbed plates

This paper presents numerical simulations of structural intensity in a rib-reinforced plate, investigating the diffuseness. Many prediction models of building and structural acoustics, such as statistical energy analysis or energy flow methods, assume the vibrational wave fields to be diffuse. However, the diffuseness assumption is not always valid. One such example is a rib-reinforced plate typically found in a lightweight floor with wooden joists. Other examples can be found in aircraft and ship structures. The structural intensity of a ribbed plate is computed at low to mid frequencies using the Fourier sine expansion of the transverse displacement of the plate. Hamilton's principle is used in combination with thin plate theory and Euler beam theory. The model takes into account interactions between components. The Fourier sine modes are re-formulated as plane waves in a radial coordinate system, which can express the structural intensity in terms of the angular component of the modes. In the simulations, ensemble averages and rain-on-the-roof excitations are used. The numerical results show that the structural intensity varies significantly as the angle of propagation changes and cannot be assumed to form a diffuse field.

Phase retrieval and coherent diffraction imaging by a linear scanning pinhole sampling array

We propose a new method for phase retrieval and coherent diffraction imaging by a specially designed pinhole sampling array (PSA) based on a liquid crystal spatial light modulation. We demonstrate that the phase and the amplitude of the wave front passing through a pinhole sampling array plate can be directly extracted from the inverse Fourier transform of the far-field diffraction intensity pattern. Scanning the whole surface of the wave front by such a series of the PSA plates, we can assemble the extracted complex amplitude to a two-dimensional discrete distribution of the sampled wave front covering the entire PSA plate plane in the scanning consequence. We called it linear scanning pinhole sampling array (LSPSA). Thus the wave front can be reconstructed which avoids any iterative algorithms. Furthermore, it provides a feasible approach for lensless coherent diffraction imaging in real-time.     

A computer simulation study of imaging flexural inhomogeneities using plate-wave diffraction tomography

This paper investigates the feasibility of plate-wave diffraction tomography for the reconstruction of flexural inhomogeneities in plates using the results of computer simulation studies. The numerical implementation of the fundamental reconstruction algorithm, which has recently been developed by Wang and Rose [C.H. Wang, L.R.F. Rose, Plate-wave diffraction tomography for structural health monitoring, Rev. Quant. Nondestr. Eval. 22 (2003) 1615-1622] is investigated addressing the essential effects of applying the discrete form of the Fourier diffraction theorem for solving the inverse problem as discussed by Kak and Slaney [A.C. Kak, M. Slaney, Principles of Computerized Tomographic Imaging, IEEE Press, New York, 1988] for the acoustic case, viz. diffraction limited sensitivity, influence of weak scatterer assumption, damage location and scatter field data processing in time and Fourier space as well as experimental limitations such as finite receiver length and limited views. The feasibility of the imaging technique is investigated for cylindrical inhomogeneities of various severities and relative position within the interrogation space and a normal incident interrogation configuration. The results show that plate-wave diffraction tomography enables the quantitative reconstruction of location, size and severity of plate damage with excellent sensitivity and offers the potential for detecting corrosion thinning, disbonds and delamination damage in structural integrity management applications.     

Nanometer linear focusing of hard x rays by a multilayer Laue lens

We report on a type of linear zone plate for nanometer-scale focusing of hard x rays, a multilayer Laue lens (MLL), produced by sectioning a multilayer and illuminating it in Laue diffraction geometry. Because of its large optical depth, a MLL spans the diffraction regimes applicable to a thin Fresnel zone plate and a crystal. Coupled wave theory calculations indicate that focusing to 5 nm or smaller with high efficiency should be possible. Partial MLL structures with outermost zone widths as small as 10 nm have been fabricated and tested with 19.5 keV synchrotron radiation. Focal sizes as small as 30 nm with efficiencies up to 44% are measured.     

T-matrix method formulation applied to the study of flexural waves scattering from a through obstacle in a plate

Elastic wave scattering in a flat thin plate hosting a through obstacle of arbitrary closed form is examined using a numerical technique based on the T-matrix approach, which is applied to describe of flexural waves in plates. The limiting cases of a hole and a rigid obstacle are considered. The vibrations of the plate are described by the Kirchhoff model. The far field backscattered amplitude as a function of wave frequency for inclusions of elliptic, triangular and square form with rounded corners is analysed numerically. Comparison of present results for circular obstacles with the analytical solutions obtained by other authors show excellent agreement.     

Spatial-carrier phase-shifting digital holography utilizing spatial frequency analysis for the correction of the phase-shift error

We propose a single-shot digital holography in which the complex amplitude distribution is obtained by spatial-carrier phase-shifting (SCPS) interferometry and the correction of the inherent phase-shift error occurred in this interferometry. The 0th order diffraction wave and the conjugate image are removed by phase-shifting interferometry and Fourier transform technique, respectively. The inherent error is corrected in the spatial frequency domain. The proposed technique does not require an iteration process to remove the unwanted images and has an advantage in the field of view in comparison to a conventional SCPS technique.
