Method of Self-Mixing in the Spectroscopy of Quasielastically Scattered Laser Radiation

Interaction of a semiconductor laser with its self-radiation quasielastically scattered in the environment is considered. It is established that at small coefficients of coupling of the laser with the scattering medium the spectral density of the power of an optoelectronic signal in the laser faithfully reproduces the shape of the scattered-radiation spectrum at the Doppler-shift frequencies. This makes it possible to measure the spectrum with a resolution characteristic for optical homodynation by recording the optoelectronic signal.     

准分子激光等离子体开关控制脉宽研究

 利用准分子激光等离子体技术,在紫外预电离XeCl准分子激光器上获得了最短1.58 ns的短脉冲激光输出。实验中分析了聚焦到薄膜表面的光束能量密度对所产生的等离子体密度的影响,并对不同等离子体密度及维持时间情况下脉冲压缩效果进行了讨论,给出了激光器谐振腔在稳定腔及非稳腔两种工作方式下的实验结果。激光器在稳定腔工作时,脉宽可压缩至2.87 ns;采用非稳腔结构时,在脉冲能量不变情况下减小聚焦光斑面积,提高入射到薄膜表面的能量密度,得到了最短1.58 ns的短脉冲激光输出。该技术适用于任何其它准分子器件。     

受激旋转拉曼散射对强紫外激光相位的影响

 利用瞬态受激旋转拉曼散射（SRRS）模型及相位畸变模型,对具有空间相位畸变的强紫外激光束在空气中长程传输的SRRS效应进行了研究。详细讨论了低频和中高频空间相位畸变对SRRS阈值条件、斯托克斯光转换效率、剩余泵浦光和斯托克斯光相位的影响。研究结果表明,泵浦光的初始相位畸变对斯托克斯光相位畸变的影响较剩余泵浦光的更为明显;高频相位畸变对转换效率影响较低频相位畸变更大; SRRS效应阈值随低频相位畸变的增大而减小,随高频相位畸变的增大而增大。

Scattering loss in Nd-doped silica based optical fibers

Rare-earth doped fibers suffer from relatively high attenuation in comparison to conventional communication fibers. In order to improve the properties of such fibers, understanding of the mechanisms involved in scattering effects is of great importance. The effect of Nd-doping, Al-codoping and of the drawing temperature on the scattering effect was investigated for several different optical fibers. To this end a measuring setup was realized which allows absolute measurements of the scattering coefficient at different positions along a fiber. Also separation of total attenuation and scattering effects is possible. The presented results indicate scattering effects as primary source for increased attenuation compared with undoped fibers.     

In situ neutron diffraction study (300-1273 K) of non-stoichiometric strontium ferrite SrFeOx

The high-temperature cubic phase of non-stoichiometric strontium ferrite SrFeO_x (2.5≤x≤3.0) has been studied by in situ neutron powder diffraction in air over the temperature range 300-1273 K. The composition of SrFeO_x changes within the range 2.56≤x≤2.81 from 1273 to 673 K, respectively.Rietveld refinements of the diffraction patterns show that the high-temperature cubic phase of SrFeO_x is consistent with a face-centred Fm3c structure. This structure leads to agreement with previous density measurements. This cell allows the high-temperature structure of SrFeO_x to be described in terms of a solid solution of the composition end members. Cubic SrFeO_x at high temperature is found to closely obey Vegard's law. The density of cubic SrFeO_x is also found to exhibit a linear relationship with composition.     

Three-dimensional radiative transfer in an isotropically scattering, semi-infinite medium: generalized reflection function

The focus of this study is the generalized reflection function of multidimensional radiative transfer. The physical situation considered is spatially varying, collimated radiation incident on the upper boundary of an isotropically scattering, semi-infinite medium. An integral transform is used to reduce the three-dimensional transport equation to a one-dimensional form, and a modified Ambarzumian's method is applied to formulate a nonlinear integral equation for the generalized reflection function. The resulting equation is said to be in double-integral form because the integration is over both angular variables. Computational issues associated with this generalized reflection function formulation are investigated. The source function and reflection function formulations are compared, and the relative merits of the two approaches are discussed.
