飞秒脉冲通过多层体光栅后的衍射光强分布

基于单层体光栅的耦合波理论和矩阵光学知识,推导出飞秒脉冲通过多层体光栅衍射后的耦合波方程,并由此得到衍射光强谱和瞬时衍射效率表达式.研究结果发现衍射光强谱和瞬时衍射光强分布是与多层体光栅的结构参量,如中间填充层厚度、光栅层厚度、光栅常量及体光栅材料的折射率调制度有关系的.通过调节这些参量,获得了不同形状和不同宽度的衍射脉冲.该结果可用于设计基于多层体光栅的光通信和光脉冲整形器件.     

全光固体条纹相机的理论及其静态实验研究

全光固体条纹相机采用空间调制抽运光激发平板波导光偏转器,通过精确控制抽运光和信号光之间的时间延迟,实现对入射到波导芯层信号光的偏转扫描.它能有效解决传统变像管条纹相机因空间电荷效应造成的动态范围降低以及光电阴极材料在红外波段探测受限等问题,且结构简单,系统稳定性高,理论时间分辨率可达皮秒甚至亚皮秒量级.本文围绕全光固体条纹相机的核心部件—–AlxGa1-xAs/GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs平板波导光偏转器,研究了在带填充效应、带隙收缩效应以及自由载流子吸收效应作用下GaAs折射率的变化情况;在GaAs折射率变化达到0.01量级,信号光束斑大小和波导宽度之比p=0.5时,得到系统的理论时间分辨率为2 ps;按照静态实验条件求得的理论空间分辨率为17 lp/mm,实验结果显示其值为9 lp/mm.     

Ultrafast optical beam deflection in a pump probe configuration

Propagation of a signal beam in an Al Ga As/Ga As waveguide multiple-prism light deflector is theoretically investigated by solving the scalar Helmholtz equation to obtain the dependences of the temporal and spatial resolvable characteristics of the ultrafast deflector on the material dispersion of Ga As including group velocity dispersion and angular dispersion,interface reflection,and interface scattering of multiple-prism deflector.Furthermore,we experimentally confirm that,in this ultrafast beam deflection device,the deflecting angle of the signal light beam is linear with the pump fluence and the temporal resolution of the ultrafast deflection is 10 ps.Our results show that the improvement of the temporal and spatial resolvable performances is possible by properly choosing the structural parameters and enhancing the quality of the device.
