基于瑞利-索末菲积分的大衍射角衍射光学元件设计方法

针对现有的衍射光学元件设计方法只适用于小角度衍射的情况,本文提出了一种基于瑞利-索末菲衍射积分的设计方法,可以用来设计具有大衍射角的衍射光学元件。先对目标光场进行坐标变换和强度调整,再利用改进的Gerchberg-Saxton算法优化得到衍射光学元件的相位分布。分别采用本文方法和原有的基于夫琅禾费衍射积分的方法设计衍射光学元件实现线条结构光和不同角度方框图形的光场重构,结果表明:原有的设计方法只适用于衍射角全角小于25°的情况,当衍射角大于25°时,重构光场会出现显著的枕形畸变和不均匀的强度分布。而本文方法在小角度和大角度衍射下都能重构出准确的衍射角和较为均匀的强度分布.     

A posterior error estimates for the nonlinear grating problem with transparent boundary condition

The nonlinear grating problem is modeled by Maxwell's equations with transparent boundary conditions. The nonlocal boundary operators are truncated by taking sufficiently many terms in the corresponding expansions. A finite element method with the truncation operators is developed for solving the nonlinear grating problem. The two posterior error estimates are established. The a posterior error estimate consists of two parts: finite element discretization error and the truncation error of the nonlocal boundary operators. In particular, the truncation error caused by truncation operations is exponentially decayed when the parameter N is increased. Numerical experiment is included to illustrate the efficiency of the method. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 31: 1101–1118, 2015     

Recent advances in wavefront shaping techniques for biomedical applications

Due to the highly inhomogeneous distributions of refractive indexes, light propagation in complex media such as biological tissue experiences multiple light scattering events. The suppression and control of multiple light scattering events are investigated because they offer the possibility of optical focusing and imaging through biological tissues, and they may open new avenues for diagnosis and treatment of several human diseases. In order to provide insight into how new optical techniques can address the issues of multiple light scattering in biomedical applications, the recent progress in optical wavefront-shaping techniques is summarized.     

2,2′‐Bipyridine‐Based Dendritic Structured Compounds for Second Harmonic Generation

Parallel alignment of dipolar electron‐donor–π‐bridge‐electron‐acceptor entities can strongly enhance their nonlinear optical properties. This favorable arrangement can be in principle achieved by linking these units covalently or through metal coordination. Four dipolar single‐strand chromophores decorated with a 5‐electron‐donor–5′‐electron‐acceptor‐modified 2,2′‐bipyridine functionality were synthesized. For two of these chromophores triple‐stranded dendritic structures were successfully formed. All of the compounds were characterized with respect to their linear and nonlinear optical properties. For the aldehyde derivatives an enhancement of the first hyperpolarizability of 4.5 rather than 3 was obtained when going from single to triple strands. Theoretical calculations with density functional theory suggest that interstrand transitions contribute to the optical properties of the dendritic structures.

采用密度泛函理论B3LYP方法得到了M@t-Bu-calix[4]arene和(M@t-Bu-calix[4]arene)Li′(M=Li,Na,K)体系的几何结构.其中(M@t-Bu-calix[4]arene)Li′(M=Li,Na,K)三个体系各有5个稳定异构体,在前三个异构体中,碱金属与t-Bu-calix[4]arene分子间具有很强的相互作用能,说明了体系的稳定性.在部分(M@t-Bucalix[4]arene)Li异构体中Li′原子以阴离子形式存在,整个体系表现出碱金属化物的特性.此外,使用CAMB3LYP方法计算了t-Bu-calix[4]arene及碱金属掺杂后体系的非线性光学性质.结果表明,t-Bu-calix[4]arene内部掺杂一个碱金属原子M后,体系的一阶超极化率(β0)有较大提高,而在配体外部又掺杂一个Li原子后,体系具有更大的β0值.其中(M@t-Bu-calix[4]arene)Li′体系的MLi′-4异构体表现出最高的β0值(41827-114354 a.u.),并且随着M原子序数的增加而逐渐增大.可见,碱金属掺杂是提高t-Bu-calix[4]arene非线性光学响应的一种有效策略.     

Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of the First‐Order Hyperpolarizability of Octupolar Merocyanine Dyes

Hyper‐Rayleigh scattering experiments and quantum chemical calculations are combined to investigate the second‐order nonlinear optical responses of a series of three‐arm merocyanine derivatives. They exhibit an octupolar hyperpolarizability response with lower amplitude than crystal violet due to a lower extent of the photoinduced charge transfer and reduced bond length alternation. Strong effects on the second‐order optical response measured close to the two‐photon absorption level are clearly evidenced; for example, the effective measured polarization ratio deviates below the ideal octupolar value of 3/2 even at very low excitation power. These effects are attributed to two‐photon absorption resonance, which we believe modifies dynamically the population of the ground state versus that of the excited state.     

Recent advances in polymer network liquid crystal spatial light modulators

Polymer network liquid crystal (PNLC) spatial light modulators are attractive for display and photonic applications because they can achieve submillisecond response time while keeping a large phase change. However, their on-state scattering caused by the grain boundary of LC multidomains hinders their applications. In this article, we review recent progress on the development of scattering-free PNLCs extending from short-wavelength infrared to visible region by reducing the domain sizes to ∼200 nm through low temperature curing process. To reduce operation voltage, both transmissive and reflective modes, LC material properties (birefringence and dielectric anisotropy), polymer composition and concentration, and pretilt angle effect are analyzed. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
