Comparison between complex amplitude envelope representation and complex analytic signal representation in studying pulsed Gaussian beam

Analytic propagation expressions of pulsed Gaussian beam are deduced by using complex amplitude envelope representation and complex analytic signal representation. Numerical calculations are given to illustrate the differences between them. The results show that the major difference between them is that there exists singularity in the beam obtained by using complex amplitude envelope representation. It is also found that singularity presents near propagation axis in the case of broadband and locates far from propagation axis in the case of narrowband. The critical condition to determine what representation should be adopted in studying pulsed Gaussian beam is also given. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

四区域法消除偏振棱镜缺陷对波片相位延迟测量的影响

在起偏器待测波片检偏器系统基础上提出一种四区域测量波片相位延迟量的方法。调整待测波片和检偏器的方位角,获得相应的四组光强值,通过线性运算得到待测波片的相位延迟量,完全消除了起偏器和检偏器不完全消光带来的误差。由于测量系统中不存在标准波片或其他相位调制元件,允许测量波长仅受偏振棱镜和探测器的限制,因此四区域法可适用于很大波长范围内的波片测量。以λ/4波片为例,理论分析了测量系统利用四区域测量法后的仪器误差为σ≤±3.49065×10-3rad(约0.2°),精度比原算法提高约1个数量级。实验验证了四区域法能有效提高系统精度。

基于电光调制的激光光谱整形技术

提出了一种新型的基于电光调制的激光光谱整形方案，该整形技术可以减轻啁啾脉冲放大系统中的增益窄化效应。傅立叶变换限的宽带种子激光脉冲通过光学展宽器线性展宽后，耦合到加载有整形电脉冲的集成波导调制器中进行整形，整形电脉冲由孔径耦合带状线电脉冲发生器产生。由于线性啁啾脉冲时间-频率的直接对应关系，在时域内对宽带种子激光脉冲整形，其光谱也得到了同样形状的整形。模拟了整形光谱形状，相应的整形电脉冲波形，分析了该整形技术的光谱整形分辨率，以及整形过程中引入的相位畸变。

Comparison of uniform amplitude beam and intercepted Gaussian beam superresolution theories

The general superresolution theories for uniform amplitude beams and intercepted Gaussian beams are investigated. For these two types of incident beam, both two-zone amplitude and pure-phase filters are adopted to provide specific numerical descriptions of their differences in superresolution performances. Simulated results of comparisons between their performances indicate that, with the same spot size ratio, the intercepted Gaussian beam achieves a higher central image brightness ratio and significantly lower side-lobe effect irrespective of the filter used.

Controle por modo deslizante para sistemas não-lineares com atraso.

Nesta Dissertação são propostos dois esquemas de controle para sistemas não-lineares com atraso. No primeiro, o objetivo é controlar uma classe de sistemas incertos multivariáveis, de grau relativo unitário, com perturbações não-lineares descasadas dependentes do estado, e com atraso incerto e variante no tempo em relação ao estado. No segundo, deseja-se controlar uma classe de sistemas monovariáveis, com parâmetros conhecidos, grau relativo arbitrário, atraso arbitrário conhecido e constante na saída. Admitindo-se que o atraso na entrada pode ser deslocado para a saída, então, o segundo esquema de controle pode ser aplicado a sistemas com atraso na entrada. Os controladores desenvolvidos são baseados no controle por modo deslizante e realimentação de saída, com função de modulação para a amplitude do sinal de controle. Além disso, observadores estimam as variáveis de estado não-medidas. Em ambos os esquemas de controle propostos, garante-se propriedades de estabilidade globais do sistema em malha fechada. Simulações ilustram a eficácia dos controladores desenvolvidos.

Electric field enhancement in guided-mode resonance filters

Electric fields inside guided-mode resonance filters (GMRFs) may be intensified by resonance effects. The electric field enhancement is investigated in two GMRFs: one is resonant at normal incidence, the other at oblique incidence. It is shown that the two GMRFs exhibit different behaviors in their electric enhancement. Differences between the electric field distributions of the two GMRFs arise because coupling between counter-propagating modes occurs in the first case. It is also shown that the order of the electric field of maximum amplitude can be controlled by modulation of the dielectric constant of the grating. (c) 2006 Optical Society of America.
