Kirigami/Origami‐Based Soft Deployable Reflector for Optical Beam Steering

The beam steering mechanism has been a key element for various applications ranging from sensing and imaging to solar tracking systems. However, conventional beam steering systems are bulky and complex and present significant challenges for scaling up. This work introduces the use of soft deployable reflectors combining a soft deployable structure with simple kirigami/origami reflective films. This structure can be used as a macroscale beam steering mechanism that is both simple and compact. This work first develops a soft deployable structure that is easily scalable by patterning of soft linear actuators. This soft deployable structure is capable of increasing its height several folds by expanding in a continuous and controllable manner, which can be used as a frame to deform the linearly stretchable kirigami/origami structures integrated into the structure. Experiments on the reflective capability of the reflectors are conducted and show a good fit to the modeling results. The proposed principles for deployment and for beam steering can be used to realize novel active beam steering devices, highlighting the use of soft robotic principles to produce scalable morphing structures.     

Spontaneously deployable structure for space diffractive telescope

In order to satisfy the demands for diffractive telescopes in space exploration, a new deployable space diffractive telescope is designed. The structure and geometrical sizes of the spontaneously deployable telescope are preliminarily designated through the Serrurier truss principle and the optimized design theory. The finite element model of the deployable structure is established, and its deployed characteristics are analyzed. The prototype of the spontaneously deployable structure is constructed and some experiments are carried out to study its characteristics. Experimental results indicate that the deployable structure is 2.95 m in length, its repetitive deployed precision can reach less than 2 mm, the off-center error is less than 0.3 mm, and its deployed precision can be adjusted to micrometer level by actuators when it has deployed. It has simple structure, low mass, steady and reliable deployment, as well as higher precision for space diffractive telescopes.     

Tailored Mechanical Metamaterials with Programmable Quasi-Zero-Stiffness Features for Full-Band Vibration Isolation

Quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) isolators of high-static-low-dynamic stiffness play an important role in ultra-low frequency vibration mitigation. While the current designs of QZS mainly exploit the combination of negative-stiffness corrector and positive-stiffness element, and only have a single QZS working range, here a class of tailored mechanical metamaterials with programmable QZS features is proposed. These programmed structures contain curved beams with geometries that are specifically designed to enable the prescribed QZS characteristics. When these metamaterials are compressed, the curved beams reach the prescribed QZS working range in sequence, thus enabling tailored stair-stepping force-displacement curves with multiple QZS working ranges. Compression tests demonstrate that a vast design space is achieved to program the QZS features of the metamaterials. Further vibration tests confirm the ultra-low frequency vibration isolation capability of the proposed mechanical metamaterials. The mechanism of QZS stems solely from the structural geometry of the curved beams and is therefore materials-independent. This design strategy opens a new avenue for innovating compact and scalable QZS isolators with multiple working ranges.

A Light Beam Waveguide Using Hyperbolic-Type Gas Lenses

This paper is concerned with the optimum design of a light beam waveguide constructed with a proposed lens-like medium, namely, a hyperbolic-type gas lens which has a hyperbolic temperature distribution on its transverse cross section. In such a medium, the temperature distribution is ideally quadratic in the transverse directions, and so the mode conversion due to the higher order variation of the dielectric constant can be minimized. Moreover, this guide has the following merits; the design procedure is simple, the mode matching at the input part is easy, and it is possible to construct a waveguide using ordinary air as the lens medium. And this consideration can be easily extended to the guide with curved configuration. It was shown that the experimental convergency of this gas lens was in agreement with the theoretical one.

Proposal and investigation of photonic data selector based on cross-phase modulation in a highly nonlinear fiber

It is proposed and demonstrated a design of 2-to-1 photonic data selector based on the cross-phase modulation in a highly nonlinear fiber. By using bidirectional configuration, this scheme has potentially advantages of cost effective and simple structure. The correct output logic function is obtained at 40 Gbit/s without using any additional input light beams. In addition, the output signals have a single spectrum component by reasonable selecting input signals wavelength, which is important for transmission and scalability. The dependences of performances on signal wavelength, pump power, the temporal relative position of pulses, as well as the OSNR and chirp of input signals are calculated and discussed respectively, showing impressive operation performance. This scheme could be a promising candidate for future ultrafast all-optical signal processing applications.

Transmission Bandwidth of a Lens Waveguide with a Curved Axis

In a lens waveguide with a curved axis, light beams appreciably different in frequency split and take different paths due to the effect of chromatic aberration of lens. The deviation from a main beam can grow cumulatively through the curved lens waveguide. This effect knits permissible bandwidth to be transmitted without loss of beams. For bends having tilts and offsets at the connections to the straight waveguides, the deviation of the light beam from the guide axis due to the effect of chromatic aberration is derived. With random circular bends the bandwidth is inversely proportional to the square root of the number of bends and proportional to the average radius of curvature. For a normal design of the curved waveguide the allowable bandwidth is expected to be sufficiently broad for signal transmission, but it is narrow in the sense of optical frequency.

Nonlinear TE waves in an optically nonlinear curved waveguide andpulse compression

The propagation properties of the TE₀ mode in an optically nonlinear curved waveguide are examined in detail. As the input power increases, the self-focusing effect of the nonlinear core is found to largely reduce the radiation loss and to moderately reduce the mode-conversion loss. It is made clear from detailed examinations of the power transmissivity that the nonlinear curved guide can be used as a threshold device for a logical AND gate or an optical amplifier, and that the device property improves with the bend length and curvature radius. The optical pulse compression using the curved guide is also considered. It is shown that larger values of the bend length and peak input power are preferable for shorter output-pulse widths and lower power losses, respectively
