Holographic grating based Ebert spectrograph

In this paper we discuss the aberration properties and design procedure of in-plane Ebert spectrograph using conventional as well as holographic diffraction gratings. In both cases the gratings are situated at the well-known √3-position so that the spectrum can be recorded on a flat surface. It has been found that the holographic grating system has better resolution than the conventional grating system. The design parameters of a medium sized holographic grating spectrograph in which a concave spherical mirror is mounted in the off-axis configuration have been specified. The performance of the spectrograph has been evaluated by plotting spot diagram.     

散斑位移量与照明激光束特性关系的实验研究

激光照射到粗糙物体的表面会形成激光散斑，散斑随物体的运动而运动，特别是物体在自身平面内运动时散斑的同步运动比较显著，因此可以用这一现象测物体的微小位移，散斑运动规律与照明光束的特性有关，本文通过实验研究了不同光束照明下散斑位移的规律，验证了散斑位移理论，并指出散斑位移测量中应注意的问题。     

Variable wavelength interferometry of birefringent retarders

A new interferometric procedure is proposed for testing birefringent retarders. The procedure uses monochromatic light with a continuously variable wavelength and two parallel pointer lines localized at a distance from each other in the fringe interference field of a double-refracting interferometer. The zero-order fringe of the empty interference field is brought into coincidence with one pointer line, and higher-order interference fringes displaced by an object under study are next brought into consecutive coincidence with the other pointer line as the wavelength of the monochromatic light is continuously varied.     

Film thickness measurement with white light fringes

A method is described of measuring the thickness of thin films by using white light fringes obtained in a double pass Michelson interferometer. The method is suitable for the determination of thickness ranging from 15 nm to 2500 nm.     

LINC-NIRVANA: MCAO toward Extremely Large Telescopes

LINC-NIRVANA is a Fizeau (imaging) interferometer exploiting the full spatial resolution of a 23 m class telescope in the combined beam of the Large Binocular Telescope supported through Multi-Conjugated Adaptive Optics (MCAO). By means of science cases, we show how LINC-NIRVANA takes advantage of the MCAO, increasing the sky coverage of the instrument and the field of view for the Fringe and Flexure tracker. We introduce the MCAO system of LINC-NIRVANA in detail, which in a first step will be installed with two deformable mirrors per arm and has the provision to be upgraded with a third mirror. The MCAO system implements several novel concepts proposed for extremely large telescopes, such as layer oriented MCAO, optical co-adding of guide stars, or Multiple Field of View sensing. LINC-NIRVANA will demonstrate some of the concepts for the first time on sky. To cite this article: W. Gaessler et. al., C. R. Physique 6 (2005).     

Histogram equalization of vibration fringes in holography

Common reconstructed fringes in holographic interferometry of vibration show rapidly diminishing intensity with extended amplitude limiting the measurement range. Using computer-simulated fringe patterns, linear histogram equalization is applied to redistribute the intensity for significant enhancement in the higher amplitude range. The cases of time-average and real-time single-frequency sinusoidal vibration are described.

Analyzing refractive index profiles of confined fluids by interferometry part II: Multilayer and asymmetric systems

Methods for determining the substrate properties and the optical thickness of thin films or any variation in the refractive index of a fluid or film near a surface for unknown 5-layer symmetric and 3-layer asymmetric interferometers are presented. Both systems can be fully resolved without any known layer properties and without contact or confining the films. The method was tested using realistic simulated interferometer data, and was found to consistently yield accurate values for all desired properties. The method was experimentally validated through analysis of an asymmetric three layer interferometer system of linear polyethyleneimine (LPEI) adsorbed onto mica substrates of differing thickness and identical refractive index. The results were in excellent agreement with the dry polymer film properties measured using conventional SFA contact measurements. More complicated systems were also evaluated for feasibility, and any additional parameter specifications required for analysis were determined. The utility of this method is broad, as a single experiment in a laboratory setting can independently provide non-contact film properties and the effects of confinement on the film structure, which can be correlated to a simultaneously measured interaction force profile.     

快速傅里叶变换与泽尼克模式拟合的条纹投影面形恢复算法

 针对条纹投影偏折法中需要多次迭代进行面形恢复,提出一种结合快速傅里叶变换（FFT）算法与泽尼克（Zernike）模式拟合的算法（FFT-尼克）。数值仿真结果表明,直接使用泽尼克模式拟合,需要迭代15次,用时1 min以上,而使用FFT-尼克算法,迭代5次已收敛到理想精度。在保证计算精度在纳米量级的情况下,计算时间也缩短了近2/3。     

基于Talbot-Moiré法的长焦透镜焦距

 长焦距测量的Talbot Moiré法是研究热点,目前很多方法虽然都是基于Talbot现象和Moiré技术,但基本原理和实验方案各不相同,因此焦距计算公式也不相同。基于透镜位相变换作用,利用Talbot效应和Moiré条纹,通过图像处理的方法获得条纹的斜率变化,根据焦距与莫尔条纹斜率之间的关系求得透镜焦距。由于长焦透镜的焦距相对于被测透镜厚度大得多,完全可以看作是薄透镜对光束的变换,可用薄透镜对球面波的变换作用来近似表示其对高斯光束的变换。因此,该方法测量长焦透镜焦距对于高斯光束与非高斯光束焦距测量结果无差别,均适用。最后全面分析了该测量方法的误差及精度极限。在影响测量精度的各个误差因素中,光栅节距误差对焦距测量的影响最为显著。
