Retroreflective projection gratings

A retroreflective projection grating technique has been investigated to inspect quasi flat and specular surfaces. The method introduces the flexibility to adjust the properties of the grating to a specific application or to move it as a whole, in order to use phase shifting technology. Three types of optical configuration have been demonstrated. The method has been tested with a quantified artifact. The experiment shows that it can successfully recover the contour and amplitude of the surface waviness on the artifact. The method can be developed for industrial application in nondestructive testing and evaluation (NDTE).     

Fabrication of Au thin film gratings by pulsed laser interference

We report that one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) metal thin film gratings can be directly fabricated by interfering Nd-YAG pulsed laser beams (wavelength = 1064 nm, pulse width = 6 ns) incident from the backside of glass substrate. This process utilizes a laser-induced thermo-elastic force which plays a role to detach the film from the substrate. Micro-scale Au transmission gratings with a minimum feature size of 1 μm could be generated by interference-driven periodic detachment. The fabrication of tube-structured patterns as well as stripes was also possible by adjusting the pulse power and this is explained with the effect of film cohesion.     

Multiphotons trapping instability using fiber Bragg's grating potential perturbation for multiquantum bits encoding

We propose an interesting result of the trapped multiphotons distribution within a fiber Bragg's grating. The multitrapped photons are confined by the potential well, where the motion of photons in a fiber Bragg's grating is affected by the external perturbations, which they are defined as a series of nonlinear parametric in terms of potential energy. This investigation is modeled by using the nonlinear coupled mode equations and under Bragg's resonance condition, where the initial frequency of the light, ω₀ is the same value as the Bragg's frequency, ω_B. Results obtained have shown that the higher perturbation series represents the potential well is much differed from the equilibrium situation. In applications, the external perturbations on the fiber grating can cause the trapped photons instability, which introduces the escaped photons from the potential well being detected and observed. The potential of applications for quantum encoding device can be performed, which is analyzed and discussed in details.

High Photosensitivity in SnO 2 :SiO 2 Optical Fibers

Enhanced photosensitivity has been achieved in tin-doped silica optical fibers. Refractive index modulations (~3 . 10 -4 ) have been achieved by use of 248 nm UV radiation. Studies performed on preform slides proved that the refractive index change can be ascribed to structural rearrangements induced by photochemical reactions. The modified structure has shown extreme stability, and gratings written in this fiber start to be erased above 600°C. Exposure of the fiber to 255 nm laser radiation showed that, at high fluence, the refractive index modulation saturates and does not exhibit any sign of decrease.

Investigations of Linearly Chirped Fiber Bragg Gratings for Time-Steered Array Antennas

The use of linearly chirped fiber Bragg gratings as dispersive delay line elements in optical true time-delay beamformers is investigated. Two different dispersive prism beamforming architectures are considered as is their impact on the grating specifications. Microwave double-sideband and single-sideband characterization is carried out on gratings suitable for both architectures with an emphasis on the group delay ripple of single and cascaded gratings. Results indicate that commercially available gratings are suitable for beamforming applications.
