Atom optics with rotating Bose-Einstein condensates

The atom optics of Bose-Einstein condensates containing a vortex of circulation one is discussed. We first analyze in detail the reflection of such a condensate falling on an atomic mirror. In a second part, we consider a rotating condensate in the case of attractive interactions. We show that for sufficiently large nonlinearity the rotational symmetry of the rotating condensate is broken.

Analysis of the lateral displacement and optical path difference in wide-field-of-view polarization interference imaging spectrometer

The mechanism of beam splitting and principle of wide-field-of-view compensation of modified Savart polariscope in the wide-field-of-view polarization interference imaging spectrometer (WPIIS) are analyzed and discussed. Formulas for the lateral displacement and optical path difference (OPD) produced by the modified Savart polariscope are derived by ray-tracing method. The theoretical and practical guidance is thereby provided for the study, design, modulation, experiment and engineering of the polarization interference imaging spectrometers and other birefringent Fourier-transform spectrometers based on Savart polariscopes.     

Fabrication of the slanted electrode matrix on tilting 4.5° (1 1 1) silicon

The slanted low electrode matrix is designed and fabricated on one tilting 4.5° (1 1 1) silicon wafer to reduce the actuating voltage of 8×8 micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) optical switch matrix. Due to compact size of the upper electrode chip and (1 1 1) silicon anisotropic etching in KOH solution, photomask is designed which is to fabricate the slanted low electrode matrix that can be matched with the upper electrode chip and every slanted low electrode has enough space for actuating cantilever. The experimental results show that all of the applied voltages for the full range of actuating micromirrors of 8×8 MEMS optical switch matrix are in the range of 67.2±0.5 V. It is demonstrated that the fabricated slanted low electrode matrix has good consistency and every slanted low electrode can be precisely aligned with one-to-one corresponding upper electrodes.

Secure optical system that uses fully phase-based encryption and lithium niobate crystal as phase contrast filter for decryption

In this paper, the implementation of a secure optical system using fully phase encryption is described. A two-dimensional phase image obtained from an amplitude image is encrypted and decrypted by using a spatial light modulator working in phase mode. The fully phase encryption is achieved using double random phase encoding. The encrypted image is holographically recorded in a photorefractive crystal and is then decrypted by generating, through phase conjugation, the conjugate of the encrypted image. A lithium niobate crystal has been used as a phase contrast filter to change the decrypted phase image into an amplitude image, thus alleviating the need for alignment of the phase contrast set-up in the Fourier plane. Simulation results are provided to verify the proposed study. The mean square error between the primary image and decrypted image has been calculated to study the sensitivity of the system.     

Scale invariant recognition in optical correlators using prior estimation of object size

A new perspective of scale-invariant pattern recognition is proposed in this paper. Instead of computing a filter from one of many orthogonal components of the reference object, the scaling factor is estimated from the Fourier spectrums of reference and test images and utilized in rescaling of the spectrum. The test image is correlated with the reference image after rescaling its Fourier spectrum with classical matched filtering. Computer simulation results are presented for a reference object at several scaling versions as well as some non-target objects.     

Dispersion penalty analysis using light injection method in the feedforward optical transmitter for WDM/SCM radio-over-fiber systems

We have experimentally and theoretically demonstrated the transmission performance of a feedforward optical transmitter using an external light injection technique. The feedforward compensation method shows 31 dB intermodulation distortion suppression and 2.2 dB noise reduction. The feedforward architecture used a wavelength-locked Fabry-Perot laser diode whose side-mode suppression ratio about 35 dB over a 12-nm range. The suppression characteristics of the intermodulation distortion for various wavelength differences and transmission lengths were measured and analyzed as the evaluation criteria for the system performance in WDM/SCM based radio-over-fiber systems.     

Radiation forces of highly focused Bessel–Gaussian beams on a dielectric sphere

The radiation force of highly focused Bessel–Gaussian beams (BGBs) on a dielectric sphere in the Rayleigh scattering regime is theoretically investigated. Numerical results demonstrate that the focused BGBs can be used to trap and manipulate the particles with the refractive index lower than that of the ambient. The radiation force caused by the low-order focused BGBs has been studied under different input parameters and different focus lengths of thin lens. The stability conditions of trapping the particles are also analyzed.     

A novel medium access control protocol for optical local networks based on data request ordering

The basic aim of the scheduling algorithms in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) single-hop optical networks is to construct a short schedule, in order to support quick communication between the nodes of the network. A design of medium access control (MAC) protocol without collisions is introduced for scheduling variable-length data packets based on a broadcast and select architecture. The system includes only data channels and the coordination of the transmissions is achieved via control packets, functioning before the beginning of actual transmissions. The proposed scheme adopts a prediction mechanism in order to eliminate the possible delay introduced by the scheduling computation between the control and data phases of each cycle of transmission. The two common scheduling strategies suggested try to reorder the service sequence of the nodes, by prioritizing the nodes with long data packets, compared with the nodes with short data packets. The final schedule, formed by a scheduling matrix, seems to be much shorter and leads to an increase, in terms of channel utilization. The extensive simulation results show that the novel scheduling techniques offer more free time space for schedule and allow more data to travel on the medium for the same amount of time. Also, the mean packet delay on the queues is reduced and the relation throughput-delay is much better.     

Digital watermarking technique for holography interference patterns in a transform domain

A digital holography interference pattern generated by a computer calculation (computer generated hologram, CGH) is one of the most expensive contents and its usage is being expanded. Thus, it is highly necessary to protect the ownership of a digital hologram. This paper introduces a watermarking scheme, a method to protect the ownership of digital holograms using the DCT domain data as the ones to be watermarked. This scheme shows very high imperceptibility and strong robustness against the anticipated attacks. We expect that the conclusions of this paper will be a very useful basis for further work in the area of electronic watermarking schemes for the digital holograms.
