多束部分相干光通过强湍流对光强闪烁的影响

在Rytov方差的基础上,利用Andrews的唯像闪烁模型,推导出部分相干光通过强大气湍流后其对数光强起伏方差的公式,并用此公式对部分相干光通过强湍流后给光强闪烁造成的影响进行了仿真。其结果表明,当光源的相干性变差,即变为部分相干光后,对数光强起伏方差变小;当采用多束部分相干光时,接收面上光强起伏方差得到明显改善,而且光束越多,改善越明显。

An Arctangent Unwrapping Technique of Photoelasticity Using Linearly Polarized Light at Three Wavelengths

Abstract:  In the automatic measurements of the principal stress directions ψ and the total relative phase retardation ρ _tol, ψ and ρ _tol can be easily obtained by the phase unwrapping method using the arctangent function. However, only some published works exist on the measurements of ψ and ρ _tol by photoelastic techniques using a linearly polarised incident light source. This paper presents the technique of applying an unwrapping by means of the arctangent function to photoelasticity. The technique overcomes the error associated with the quarter-wave plate by using an incident light of different wavelength and does not need an interpolation for the determination of ψ . The technique is validated by determining ψ and ρ _tol for the well-known circular disk subjected to a diametral compressive load model.     

Statistical properties of a radially polarized twisted Gaussian Schell-model beam in a uniaxial crystal

We derive the analytical formulas for the elements of the cross-spectral density matrix of a radially polarized partially coherent beam with a twist phase named radially polarized twisted Gaussian Schell-model (RPTGSM) beam propagating in a uniaxial crystal, and explore the statistical properties, such as the intensity distribution, the degree of polarization (DOP) and the state of polarization (SOP) of such beam in a uniaxial crystal with the help of the derived formulas. It is found that the statistical properties of a RPTGSM beam are closely related with the twist phase and the anisotropy of the uniaxial crystal, e.g. the twist phase leads to the rotation of the intensity, DOP and SOP distributions, and the anisotropy of the uniaxial crystal leads to the asymmetry distributions of these statistical properties. Our results will be useful for designing light field with prescribed intensity, DOP and SOP distributions, and may be useful in optical manipulations and free-space optical communications.

Extremely narrowed spontaneous emission spectrum induced by elliptically polarized light

Abstract

We demonstrate the control of spontaneous emission from a five-level atom embedded in a modified reservoir under the action of a single control beam with elliptical polarization. For different initial-state preparations, we take into account the influence of the phase difference between the two circularly polarized components of the control beam on the behavior of spontaneous emission. For the ground initial states, the spontaneous emission spectrum usually shows ultranarrow central lines which are greatly enhanced. In contrast, for the excited initial states, these enhanced ultranarrow lines are significantly suppressed due to the destructive quantum interference. Furthermore, our numerical simulations indicate that the multipeak structure appears in the presence of the elliptically polarized control beam and external magnetic field. Such a scheme for controlling spontaneous emission may find applications in high-precision spectroscopy.     

Propagation properties of partially coherent radially polarized beam in a turbulent atmosphere

Based on the Huygens–Fresnel principle and the unified theory of coherence and polarization of partially coherent beams, we investigate the propagation characteristics of a partially coherent radially polarized doughnut (PCRPD) beam in a turbulent atmosphere. It is found that, after propagating through a turbulent atmosphere, the doughnut beam spot is changed into a circular Gaussian beam. Moreover, the degree of coherence, the degree of polarization and the degree of cross-polarization of the beam will change on propagation, and this change is dependent upon the degree of coherence of the source and atmospheric turbulence.

Effects of atmosphere on spectrum of modified partially coherent flat-topped beams

The analytical formulas for the spectrum of modified partially coherent flat-topped (MPCFT) beams propagating in a turbulent atmosphere have been derived under strong fluctuation condition of turbulence. The spectral properties of MPCFT beams propagating in a strong turbulence have been investigated, and the changes of on-axis and off-axis spectral distributions have been analyzed quantitatively. The results show that the on-axis relative spectral shift of the modified partially coherent flat-topped beam exhibits spectral switch for the beam order M > 1, and with the increasing propagation distance the blue-shift gradually decreases in atmospheric turbulence. A rapid transition for the off-axis spectrum appears at one critical position in turbulence, and the position decreases with the increasing beam order for the lower beam order and the nearer propagation distance. The spectral properties and the spectral shifts of MPCFT beams also depend on the inner scale, the spatial coherence parameter.     

Tight focusing induces pulse delay and pulse compression of double-ring-shaped radially polarized ultrashort light pulses

The focusing of double-ring-shaped radially polarized ultrashort light pulses by a high-numerical aperture objective is investigated using vectorial Debye theory. After focusing, the double-ring-shaped radially polarized ultrashort light pulses slow down near the focus, and this pulse delay induces pulse compression in the propagation direction. That is, without changing the pulse duration, the spatial pulse length of the ultrashort light pulse is decreased near the focus. The velocity of the longitudinal component of the light pulse near the focus is lower than that of the radial component. The simulation results demonstrate that control of the ratio of the pupil radius to the beam radius affects not only the longitudinal component of the light pulse, but also the velocity and spatial pulse length of the light pulse because of the destructive interference between the longitudinal components of the inner and outer rings of the light pulse.
