在研究光楔衍射法产生单涡旋的基础上,基于长条形光楔阵列,提出了利用光束阵列衍射产生涡旋阵列的方法.该方法要求光束阵列在平行于光楔边缘方向上的光束间距等于光束直径的整数倍.利用超精密机床采用一体化加工法加工了光楔阵列元件,验证了该方法的可行性.利用空间光调制器快速灵活调整光束阵列的优点,搭建了借助空间光调制器加载达曼光栅衍射产生所需光束阵列的实验光学系统.针对光束阵列与光楔阵列的匹配问题,研究了达曼光栅掩模图基本单元对光束阵列的调控,获得了可调结构的光束阵列.实验产生了拓扑荷一致的光学涡旋阵列,与仿真结果相一致,证明所提方法的有效性.

A three-layer egg-configurated Bragg microcavity of polyglycerol coated cholesteric-liquid-crystal encapsulated by hollow-glass-microsphere

ABSTRACT

This letter reports the optical pumped lasing behaviours of a three-layer Bragg resonance cavity consisting of dye-doped cholesteric liquid crystal (DDCLC) microdroplet, polyglycerol-2 and hollow glass microsphere. The function of PG2 is to control the parallel anchoring of the liquid crystal (LC) molecules on the surface of the LC microdroplet. The whispering-gallery mode (WGM), radial Bragg (photonic bandgap, PBG) mode and Bragg WGM (BWGM) are observed in DDCLC microspheres with different helical pitches and LC refractive indices. The formation mechanisms of six types of lasing emission conditions are analysed in detail. The study results present the prospect of controlling the output mode of the laser. Furthermore, such solid shell-based DDCLC microspheres have outstanding potential applications in miniaturised 3D Bragg lasers, sensors, and integrated and tunable optical devices.

Surface profile optimization of antireflection gratings for solar cells

The solar cell efficiency can be improved by antireflection gratings. In this paper, the antireflection gratings with different symmetrical surface profiles are investigated by numerical simulations based on the Rigorous Coupled-Wave Analysis. Simulated results show that the antireflection performance of sharp profile such as quadratic profile has a significant improvement compared with triangular and parabolic profiles, while the top cutoff in the grating tip will severely influence the antireflection performance. Meanwhile, proper length of flat region between grating features in the nonclose-packed triangular antireflection grating can have better antireflection performance than the close-packed counterpart for the same grating period and height. Such antireflection gratings with different surface profiles may offer attractive solutions to current commercial silicon solar cell, as well as organic and other semiconductor material based solar cells.     

Improvement on peak-to-trough ratio of sampled fiber Bragg gratings with multiple phase shifts

Via a cascaded structure, the peak-to-trough ratio is considerably improved for sampled fiber Bragg gratings （SFBGs） based on multiple-phase-shift （MPS） technique. This cascaded filter is composed of two identical SFBGs which are inserted with the increasing or decreasing arrangement of phase shifts. With this inverse arrangement of MPS in grating design, the phase fluctuation of individual SFBG can be compensated, and as a result an excellent phase matching condition is realized. In this way, the peak-to- trough ratio in reflection spectra is improved from 6 to 12 dB when multiplication factor m = 4, and from 5dBto 10dBwhenm=8.     

Analysis of a separate 1319 and 1338 nm Nd:YAG laser with a blazing grating

We develop a separate 1319 and 1338 nm Nd:YAG laser system with a blazing grating (600 lines/mm). The resonator of this system has a Littrow grating configuration and a highly reflective mirror, in which the zero-order diffraction of the grating acts as the laser output. By virtue of the wavelength-dependent reflectivity of the grating, a single-wavelength laser at 1319 nm or 1338 nm can be realized. In view of the laser rate equations and using the distribution of the blazing grating, we analyze the oscillation conditions providing single-wavelength laser operation in the system.     

1.55-μm non-anti-reflection-coated fiber grating laser for single-longitudinal mode operation

A 1.55-m fiber grating laser (FGL) was fabricated by optically packaging a non-anti-reflection (AR) coated Fabry–Perot (FP) laser to a lensed fiber grating. The FGL demonstrates a single-longitudinal mode operation with a side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR) of up to 40 dB. The SMSR oscillates and diminishes to <30 dB as the increase of injection current above 38 mA, and the tilt of the fiber approaches 5° away from the facet normal of the FP laser. We have performed numerical simulations on the single-longitudinal mode operation for the FGL. The SMSR for the FGL increases over 40 dB as the increase of the fiber grating reflectivity (R _g) above 0.7 with non-AR-coated FP laser facet. Our calculations also show that the strong current-dependent SMSR oscillation is from the mode selection by the fiber grating external cavity and the heating effect in the FP laser.     

钛扩散铌酸锂矩形波导中的双折射耦合对传播常数的影响

 从亥姆霍兹方程出发，得到了各向异性光波导在弱导近似下的耦合模理论。耦合系数包括偏振耦合项和双折射耦合项。并用马卡提里近似下的模式作为零级近似。用一级微扰法计算了折射率渐变分布的钛扩散铌酸锂矩形波导的传播常数。在给定参数的情况下，得到双折射项引起的传播常数的改变约为主微扰项的3%，因此双折射耦合对钛扩散铌酸锂矩形波导的性能影响不可忽略，这对设计和分析与它相关的光波导器件具有指导意义。
