基于光子数目比较的激光测距法

提出了一种新颖的激光测距方法。该方法避开了传统激光测距法中使用复杂辅助电子设备对脉冲计时或比较相位差的过程,而主要通过光学手段分析和提取待测距离信息,最终通过比较大量光子数目的方法求得待测距离。并利用单轴晶体的双折射和全内双反射性质,用特殊结构的单块LiNbO3晶体设计了实施该方法的主体装置。结果表明,该激光测距法同目前普遍使用的激光测距法相比,不但简化了结构,而且有很高的测距精度,从而为激光测距开拓了一种新的思路。     

Laser ranging based on electro-optic switch

Based on electro-optic switch effect in crystal, a novel laser ranging method is proposed. CW-laser emitted by laser transmitter propagates forward to the measured target, after being reflected by the target, and then goes back to the transmitter. Close to the transmitter, a special mono-block LiNbO₃ crystal is added into the round-trip light beams. High-voltage pulses with the sharp enough changes in rising edges are loaded on the crystal. Based on electro-optic effect, double refraction and internal double reflection effect in crystal, the crystal cuts off the round-trip light beams, and reflects a light pulse cut out by the crystal to a detector aside from the original beam path. The pulse width T is the period that laser propagates forward and back between the crystal and the target. The feasibility of the new idea is proved by our experiments and a brand-new way for the laser ranging is provided.     

Negative refraction and imaging of acoustic waves in a two-dimensional square chiral lattice structure

The negative refraction behavior and imaging effect for acoustic waves in a kind of two-dimensional square chiral lattice structure are studied in this paper. The unit cell of the proposed structure consists of four zigzag arms connected through a thin circular ring at the central part. The relation of the symmetry of the unit cell and the negative refraction phenomenon is investigated. Using the finite element method, we calculate the band structures and the equi-frequency surfaces of the system, and confirm the frequency range where the negative refraction is present. Due to the rotational symmetry of the unit cell, a phase difference is induced to the waves propagating from a point source through the structure to the other side. The phase difference is related to the width of the structure and the frequency of the source, so we can get a tunable deviated imaging. This kind of phenomenon is also demonstrated by the numerical simulation of two Gaussian beams that are symmetrical about the interface normal with the same incident angle, and the different negative refractive indexes are presented. Based on this special performance, a double-functional mirror-symmetrical slab is proposed for realizing acoustic focusing and beam separation.

用衍射光栅和CCD测量透明材料折射率

介绍了一种基于衍射光栅干涉和CCD图像测量的测量透明材料折射率的方法。这种方法使用的仪器少,操作简单,配合CCD与图像处理的运用,尝试的两种测量方案都使精度能够达到10^-4。两种测量方案对同一玻璃基片的测量结果基本吻合,而第二种测量方案的测量精度要优于第一种,这是因为就我们目前的实验条件而言,CCD判别条纹移动的精度对折射率测量的影响要小于角度测量精度对之的影响。该方法还可以测量各向同性透明薄膜样品的折射率,为探索新型有机薄膜的折射率及其有关特性提供便利的手段。讨论了测量的基本原理和样品的测量结果,并对实验方法误差进行了分析。

Abnormal positive thermal expansion in Mo substituted ZrW2O8

ZrW₂O₈ displays the unusual property of an isotropic bulk contraction in volume as a function of temperature. We report here on the positive thermal expansion (PTE) property caused by substituting Mo for W sites in ZrW₂O₈ at room temperature. The room temperature crystal structure of ZrW_2−xMo_xO₈ compounds, which were synthesized using a low temperature route, could be divided into ordered phase with α-ZrW₂O₈ structure (0≤x≤0.5) and disordered phase with β-ZrW₂O₈ (0.5<x≤1.5) and c-ZrMo₂O₈ structure (1.5<x≤2). ZrW_2−xMo_xO₈ adopting β-ZrW₂O₈ structure shows abnormal PTE property at room temperature due to the existence of water molecules, while ZrW_2−xMo_xO₈ adopting the other two structures (α-ZrW₂O₈ and c-ZrMo₂O₈) shows negative thermal expansion (NTE) property from room temperature until decomposition for α-ZrW₂O₈ structure or trigonal phase transition for c-ZrMo₂O₈ structure. The reason lies in the fact that the oxygen migration caused by the Mo substitution leads to the re-arrangement of W(Mo)O₄ tetrahedra lying along the 3-fold axis, only particular W/Mo ratio (0.5<x≤1.5) produces a special crystal structure, which allows the entrance of water molecules.
