Determination of the diffuser reference plane for accurate illuminance responsivity calibrations

It is difficult to predict where the effective measurement plane is situated with dome-shaped diffusers often used in commercial photometers and radiometers. Insufficient knowledge of this plane could lead to large systematic errors in calibration of the illuminance responsivity of photometers. We propose a method that can be used to determine this reference plane accurately, based on the inverse-square law between the measured signal and the distance from the source. The method is demonstrated with three commercial photometers with dome-shaped diffusers of different geometries. By taking into account the measured shifts of the reference planes (5.0 +/- 0.5 mm, 7.8 +/- 0.3 mm, and 8.5 +/- 0.7 mm), we reduced the systematic measurement errors up to 2% to statistical uncertainty components at the level of 0.2%.     

Portable device for characterizing the angular response of UV spectroradiometers

This paper introduces a device that was developed to measure the angular response of UV spectroradiometers in the field. This device is designed to be used at the operating position of spectroradiometers; thus the derived angular response also includes any effects from imperfect leveling of the diffuser and corresponds to the actual operational angular response. The design and characterization of the device and the results from its application on 11 different spectroradiometers that operate at different European UV stations are presented. Various sources of uncertainties that were identified result in a combined uncertainty in determining the angular response, which ranges between approximately 1.5% and 10%, depending on the incidence angle and the characteristics of the diffuser. For the 11 instruments, the error in reporting the diffuse irradiance ranges between 2% and - 13%, assuming isotropic distribution of the downwelling radiances.     

The use of the hybrid RANS/ILES approach for the investigation of three-dimensional separated turbulent flows in curvilinear diffusers

The hybrid RANS/ILES approach is used for the investigation of turbulent separated flow in curvilinear annular diffusers with the area ratio of 2.04 and 2.7. The effect of geometry on the loss of symmetry of flow in an axisymmetric annular diffuser is considered. The effect of pressure difference in the diffuser on the flow and on the characteristics of turbulence in this diffuser is investigated. The effect of nonuniform total pressure at the channel inlet on the distribution of parameters in the outlet section of the diffuser is determined. The loss of total pressure in diffusers is determined for all of the considered modes. The accuracy of the results is confirmed by comparison with the experimental data available for these diffusers.

Problem of track offset in optical disk systems

In an optical disk drive, it is well known that a tilt of the disk causes an offset in the tracking-error signal (TES). One effect of disk tilt is the introduction of a dc component to the TES, which can be largely corrected by operation of the tracking system at the midpoint between the maximum and the minimum values of the open-loop TES. However, this method of correcting for the dc shift in the TES does not correct for the effect of coma in the focused spot, which leads to track offset. The track offset of a system is defined as the distance between the peak irradiance in the focused spot and the center of the groove when the tracking system is operating at the midpoint between the maximum and the minimum values of the open-loop TES in the presence of disk tilt. Calculations are performed that show the dependence of track offset on various system parameters, including track pitch, wavelength, and numerical aperture and rim intensity of the objective lens, and on the regions of the beam used to generate the TES. The track offsets for several beam-segmentation schemes are calculated for a digital versatile disk that uses push-pull and differential phase tracking. It is shown that for differential phase tracking the value of track offset depends on the mark length.     

Biodiversity offsets in South Africa – challenges and potential solutions

South Africa has a decade of experience designing and implementing biodiversity offsets. In the absence of explicit national policy on biodiversity offsets, the country has relied on existing legal provisions in environmental law as the basis for offset requirements, supported by provincial guidelines. South Africa’s periodic national biodiversity surveys provide scientifically rigorous quantification and mapping for individual ecosystems and finer scale surveys identify biodiversity priority areas, primed as ‘offset receiving areas’. Yet despite enabling factors the use of offsets has frequently been inadequate to deliver intended biodiversity outcomes. Challenges include: (a) the absence of national policy to drive and shape offset implementation; (b) insufficient capacity to evaluate, design and implement offsets; (c) inconsistent decision-making; (d) problems establishing sustainable financing mechanisms; and (e) inadequate enforcement and monitoring, linked to poor drafting of licencing conditions and/or insufficient capacity to monitor implementation. South Africa’s experience provides valuable insights into the challenges and potential solutions for making offsets work for biodiversity conservation and offers important lessons for the development and implementation of biodiversity offsetting in other developing countries.     

Design, fabrication, and characterization of high-efficiency extreme-ultraviolet diffusers

As the development of extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) lithography progresses, interest grows in the extension of traditional optical components to the EUV regime. Because of the strong absorption of EUV by most materials and because of its extremely short wavelength, however, it is difficult to implement many components that are commonplace in the longer-wavelength regimes. One such example is the diffuser that is often implemented with ordinary ground glass in the visible light regime. Here we demonstrate the fabrication of reflective EUV diffusers with high efficiency within a controllable bandwidth. Using these techniques, we have fabricated diffusers with efficiencies exceeding 10% within a moderate angular single-sided bandwidth of approximately 0.06 rad.     

Temperature effects of PTFE diffusers

Poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) is the most commonly used diffuser material in ultraviolet irradiance measurements. The temperature sensitivities of five PTFE diffusers were measured over a broad temperature range. The transmittance change varied from −0.015%/°C to −0.1%/°C. At 19 °C there was an unexpected abrupt change in transmittance ranging from 1% to 3%. This change is due to the change of the crystal structure of PTFE at 19 °C. Temperature sensitivity decreases significantly the accuracy of high precision measurements, especially if the temperature of the diffusers is not stabilized.

Digital-to-analog (D/A) converters with nonuniformly sampledsignals

In this paper, we investigate the problem of the D/A converter with nonuniformly sampled input data. The input digital data were obtained by sampling the intended analog waveform at nonuniform time intervals, and we look into the question: “Given that the timing offset of each data sample is known, would it be beneficial, in terms of the output signal-to-noise ratio, to use this offset to adjust the playback timing of the D/A converter?” We examine two different timing strategies. The first approach simply plays out the signal at a uniform rate, while the second one uses the known timing offset to adjust the D/A converter playback timing accordingly. The closed-form expressions of the spectrum of the D/A converter output signals are derived. From these expressions, we find that the spectrum structure, for the case where the timing offsets are compensated, is the infinite sum of the weighted shift to the baseband spectrum. For the uniform playout approach, the spectrum structure is much more complicated where each shifted spectrum is modified by a different weighting function of the frequency. Although the spectrum structure may be conceptually simpler for the case where the timing offsets are compensated, it is by no means clear that either method is better than the other in terms of the output waveform quality. We then apply the results to analyze the direct digital synthesis output sine waves. The signal-to-noise ratio, SNR, for both cases is derived in simple closed form. It is found that for the case where the timing offsets are compensated, the SNR can be greatly enhanced by appropriate selection of operation parameters

Holographic diffuser by use of a silver halide sensitized gelatin process

Diffusers play an important role in liquid crystal display (LCD) application as a beam-shaping device, a brightness homogenizer, a light-Scattering device, and an imaging screen. The transmittance and diffusing angle of the diffusers are the critical aspects for the applications to the LCD. The holographic diffusers by use of various processing methods have been investigated. The diffusing characteristics of different diffusing materials and processing methods have been evaluated and compared. The microstructures of holographic diffuse have been investigated by use of using scanning electron microscopy. The holographic diffusers by use of the silver halide sensitized gelatin (SHSG) method have the structural merits for the improvement of the quality of diffusers. The features of holographic diffuser were exceptional in terms of transmittance and diffusing angle. The replication method by use of the SHSG process can be directly used for the manufacturing of diffusers for the display application.

Silicon infrared diffuser for wireless communication

We show what we believe to be a novel way to use silicon in infrared radio communication as a suitable material for the realization of optical diffusers in the range of 850-1600 nm. A crystalline silicon wafer is made porous by means of electrochemical etching. The porous silicon produced is optically characterized, and measurements report a high reflectance in the band of interest. We also study the angular distribution of diffused radiation by the porous silicon surface at different angles of incident radiation. Measurements show that radiation diffuses in a quasi-Lambertian manner, confirming the good performance of this material as an incident radiation diffuser.     

Cryogenic Integrated Offset Compensation for Time Domain SQUID Multiplexing

Superconducting QUantum Interference Device (SQUID) multiplexing is a common technique in the use of large arrays of Transition Edge Sensors (TES). A?Time Domain Multiplexer (TDM) combines input TES signals into one output signal using several SQUIDs. Different TES, SQUID and amplifier characteristics induce unavoidable different offsets on the multiplexed signal. Additionally, given the periodicity of the SQUID characteristic, the Flux Locked Loop (FLL) operating point is only defined modulo?Φ ₀. This can lead to a large output offset. In multiplexed mode, the difference between offsets associated with different pixels can induce a parasitic signal which is often larger than that of the TES. These offset signals drastically constrain the readout dynamic range and thus the maximum gain allowed. They also limit the signal-to-noise ratio, the FLL stability and the multiplexing frequency. Offsets in SQUID readout are discussed and offset compensation for TDM is presented. The dynamic calibration and compensation on a simplified 4:1?TDM are demonstrated in simulation. Dynamic offset compensation is being implemented on a cryogenic SiGe integrated circuit operated at 4?K for 128:1?TDM.     

All-sky camera with a concave mirror

The characteristics of an all-sky camera with a concave mirror are analyzed. A differential equation for a concave aspheric mirror with constant angular magnification is derived for the general dependence of the camera image height on the camera field angle. This equation is solved in parametric form for the case of a concave mirror with a constant angular magnification. The explicit equations for the shape of the aspheric mirror are given for some particular values of the angular magnification. Parametric equations of the surface shape for sevenfold angular magnification are developed into a power series that is used to analyze the imaging performance of such a mirror. The performance of the concave aspheric mirror is compared with that of a spherical mirror. The minimal camera-to-mirror distance is determined as a function of the blur allowed and the camera lens aperture. Some characteristics of convex mirrors are also presented for comparison.
