Two-axis-scanning laser Doppler vibrometer for precision engineering

Laser Doppler vibrometer (LVD) has been the most favorite instrument for precision dynamics measurement due to its non-contact, high accuracy and high resolution. However, LDV can only give the dynamic data of a particular location on the entire feature. In order to get the whole field data, a laser beam-scanning mechanism has to be implemented. Currently, motor-driven scanning mirror is used to move the measurement probe from one point to another. The mechanical vibrations of the scanning mirror will reduce the measurement accuracy. This paper introduces a novel scanning LDV optical system embodied in an acousto-optic deflector scanning mechanism. It can improve the measurement accuracy since there is no mechanical motion involved. One main advantage of this system is that it generates a laser scanning beam in parallel that is different from the beam scanning in the conventional scanning laser Doppler vibrometer (SLDV). The new system has a board scanning range. The measurement target size ranges from few tens of millimeters down to 10 μm. We have demonstrated the capability of the novel system on scanning measurements of features as big as ultra-precision cutting tool to features as tiny as AFM cantilever. We believe that the novel SLDV will find profound potential applications in the precision engineering field.     

High longitudinal selectivity of shifting multiplexing in volume holograms

High longitudinal selectivity of the shifting multiplexing with spherical reference wave is proposed and demonstrated. A simplified method based on wave optics is used for calculating the selectivity, and the result fits well the experimental measurement. Under the paraxial condition, a simple formula for the longitudinal selectivity is introduced. With use of an object lens with effective NA=0.817, we obtain that an FWHM of selectivity is as small as 1 μm.     

Domain reversal behavior in perpendicular magnetic nanothin films

We report domain reversal behavior in perpendicular ferromagnetic nanothin films investigated by means of a novel magneto-optical microscope magnetometer, capable of grabbing domain reversal patterns in real time under an applied field as well as simultaneous measurements of 8000 local hysteresis loops with 400-nm special resolution. Three contrasting domain reversal behaviors are found to exist: wall-motion dominant, dendritic-growth dominant, and nucleation dominant reversal. Quantitative analysis reveals that the contrasting reversal behavior is mainly caused by a sensitive change in wall-motion speed and that the reversal ratio of wall-motion speed over nucleation rate is a governing parameter for the contrasting domain reversal dynamics. The activation volumes of the wall-motion and nucleation processes are found generally unequal, and the inequality is closely related with the domain dynamics. The domain reversal pattern is truly coincident with submicron-scale local coercivity variation and local switching time of domain evolution is exponentially dependent on local coercivity governed by a thermal activation relaxation process. The observed domain reversal behavior could be well predicted by a Monte Carlo simulation of a micromagnetic model based on the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy of nanothin films.     

On the solution of Fokker-Planck equation for electron transport

Two different techniques have been used to solve the Fokker-Planck equation for electron transport in infinite homogeneous medium namely, maximum entropy and flux-limited approach. The solutions obtained for the scalar flux function φ₀(x,s) by both methods are numerically compared.     

A vibrationally compensated far infrared laser interferometer for plasma density measurements

A modulated far-infrared laser interferometer which is presently operating on the PDX experiment at Princeton is described. The interferometer geometry permits the characterization of inside D, outside D as well as circular discharges. To achieve this versatility, a titanium corner cube reflector, mounted inside the PDX vacuum vessel is used in conjunction with a second visible wavelength interferometer for vibration corrections. In addition, the use of room temperature quasi-optical Schottky diodes in the far-infrared interferometer is reported. The minimum detectable line average density of the system is 5×10¹¹ cm^–3.
