变折射率方形孔径平面微透镜阵列的聚焦和散焦特性

为提高变折射率平面微透镜阵列的填充率,利用光刻工艺和离子交换技术制备了填充率近达100%的方形孔径平面微透镜阵列,并对其透镜元及相邻透元间间隙构成的角落区域的成像进行了理论和实验研究.根据变折射率介质光线追迹法,利用MATLAB软件模拟,发现在透镜元区域和角落区域成像特性相反.成像系统测试表明:由于透镜元区域和角落区域的折射率分布变化规律不同,透镜元与角落区域对物体分别成倒立实像和正立虚像;透镜阵列可实现聚焦和散焦功能;角落区域得到充分的离子交换使得间隙足够小,形成了从该区域中心向外逐渐增大的新型梯度折射率模型.     

Toward one nanometer X-ray focusing: a complex refractive lens design

We report a design for one nanometer X-ray focusing by a complex refractive lens, which is capable of focusing 20 keV X-rays down to a lateral size of 0.92 nm （full-width at half-maximum （FWHM）） and an axial size of 98 nm （FWHM） with intensity gain of 49050. This complex refractive lens is comprised of a series of kinoform lenses, whose aperture is gradually matched to the converging trace of the X-ray beam so as to increase the numerical aperture （NA）. The theoretical principle of the proposed complex refractive lens is presented. The NAs of these lenses are calculated. The numerical simulation results demonstrate that the proposed design can focus the X-ray beam into sub-nanometer while remaining high gain.     

Research on calibration method in lab of direct solar channels of Sun photometer

We develop a new calibration method in lab by measuring the absolute spectral irradiance responsivity of Sun photometer sun channel. The absolute power responsivity of Sun photometer is obtained when a white laser double monochromator system serve as a source, and a standard transfer detector calibrated against cryogenic absolute radiometer is assembled to measure the absolute power of laser beam. The effective area of aperture is measured through laser raster scanning method, and the relative spectral irradiance responsivity of the corresponding channel is obtained by using tungsten-halogen lamps double monoehromator system. On the basis of the above results, the top of the atmosphere responsive constants V0 （500, 675, and 870 nm） are obtained by integration with extraterrestrial solar spectral irradiance data. Comparing the calibration results with that of CIMEL, France in November 2011, the relative differences are 4.38%, 2.23%, and 2.45%, respectively. The calibration uncertainty reaches to 2.048×10^-2, which shows a remarkable consistency with the Langley plot method. Further, our scheme can overcome the limits of space and atmospheric conditions which are only available at a high-altitude calibration site in particular date. The advantages lie in not only shortening the experiment period but also being of high precision. This new scheme definitely plays an important role in supporting the current and future sun photometry calibration activities which are significant to earth observation.     

Flying qubits and entangled photons

Efficient generation of polarized single photons or entangled photon pairs is crucial for the implementation of quantum key distribution (QKD) systems. Self organized semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are capable of emitting on demand one polarized photon or an entangled photon pair upon current injection. Highly efficient single‐photon sources consist of a pin structure inserted into a microcavity where single electrons and holes are funneled into an InAs QD via a submicron AlOx aperture, leading to emission of single polarized photons with record purity of the spectrum and non‐classicality of the photons. A new QD site‐control technique is based on using the surface strain field of an AlO_x current aperture below the QD. GaN/AlN QD based devices are promising to operate at room temperature and reveal a fine‐structure splitting (FSS) depending inversely on the QD size. Large GaN/AlN QDs show disappearance of the FSS. Theory also suggests QDs grown on (111)‐oriented GaAs substrates as source of entangled photon pairs.     

Depth information extraction with an aperture-rotating camera

This paper focuses on extracting depth information with an aperture-rotating camera. Compared with previous work, the proposed method is applicable for arbitrary rotation angle by making use of pixel registration to get pixel shift angle, and calculating the pixel shift along this angle. Besides, consumption time for shift angle is reduced by means of sampling. Compared with point-by-point method, the proposed method reduces the computation time from about 1 h to 1 min for a 15-megapixel image. Experimental results of a scene named “bottles” show that the depth value has a margin of error of 5%. Proposed method makes it possible to extract depth information with a single camera and expands the application of DSLR camera.
