光弹调制器在偏振方向调制中的应用

提出了一种将光弹调制器应用于偏振方向调制的方法．介绍了它的两种基本使用模式，利用琼斯矩阵对其偏振方向调制原理及其两种基本使用模式进行了分析。光弹调制器和1／4波片形成偏振方向调制器件时，光弹调制器处于两块透光轴相互垂直的1／4波片之间．且光弹调制器的振动轴分别和两块1／4波片的透光轴成±45°角，线偏振光通过此器件其偏振方向被调制。实验验证了光弹调制器组合1／4波片调制偏振方向的原理。将光弹调制器应用在偏振方向的调制中．使现有偏振方向调制技术的光谱范围扩展到了紫外波段。

径向双折射滤波器的超分辨性能研究

超分辨技术因其可以超越经典的衍射极限而为人们所熟知．并且．在光存储和共焦扫描成像系统中有着广泛的应用。把由两个偏振器和一个圆对称的双折射元件组成的径向双折射滤波器引入超分辨技术，借助琼斯算法推导出其光瞳函数的表达式。由分析得出通过改变径向双折射滤波器中偏振器的偏振方向和双折射元件的主轴之间的夹角，即可实现光学系统的横向超分辨或轴向超分辨。同时对评价该器件超分辨性能的参量第一零点比、斯特尔比和旁瓣强度抑制比做了详细的讨论。该滤波器用于超分辨技术的优点在于其制作不涉及相位的变化而比较简单，且费用比较低。缺点是

Phase transitions from the solid state of monatomic elements

The principle aims of this thesis include the development of models of sublimation and melting from first principles and the application of these models to the rare gases.

A simple physical model is constructed to represent the sublimation of monatomic elements. According to this model, the solid and gas phases are two states of a single physical system. The nature of the phase transition is clearly revealed, and the relations between the vapor pressure, the latent heat, and the transition temperature are derived. The resulting theory is applied to argon, krypton, and xenon, and good agreement with experiment is found.

For the melting transition, the solid is represented by an anharmonic model and the liquid is described by the Percus-Yevick approximation. The behavior of the liquid at high densities is studied on the isotherms kT/∈ = 1.3, 1.8, and 2.0, where k is Boltzmann's constant, T is the temperature, and e is the well depth of the Lennard-Jones 12-6 pair potential. No solutions of the PercusYevick equation were found for ρσ³ above 1.3, where ρ is the particle density and σ is the radial parameter of the Lennard-Jones potential. The liquid structure is found to be very different from the solid structure near the melting line. The liquid pressures are about 50 percent low for experimental melting densities of argon. This discrepancy gives rise to melting pressures up to twice the experimental values.
