多高斯关联扭曲光束在GRIN光纤中的轨道角动量演化

轨道角动量(orbital angular momentum, OAM)的引入丰富了光通信领域内的调制维度,为寻找更高效快捷的通信方式提供了新思路,相较于传统携带涡旋相位的涡旋光束,部分相干扭曲光束携带的OAM性质更为复杂。本文针对椭圆多高斯关联扭曲光束在梯度折射率(gradient-index, GRIN)光纤中的OAM传输,基于GRIN光纤的ABCD光学传输矩阵,着重分析了多高斯关联扭曲光束在GRIN光纤传输的OAM的传输演化特性。研究结果表明,光束的光强、OAM通量密度以及归一化OAM通量密度在光纤传输过程中均呈现周期性变化,通过对关联结构以及扭曲因子的调控不仅可以改变光束OAM通量密度的分布,还可以调控单光子携带OAM的大小。本文的研究有助于丰富扭曲部分相干光束在GRIN光纤中传输的理论结果,在光纤通信中具有潜在的应用前景。     

透镜球差对拉盖尔-高斯涡旋光束聚焦特性的影响及改善方法

涡旋光场调控对涡旋光在激光通信、生物操控等领域的应用研究具有重要意义。为了揭示透镜球差对拉盖尔-高斯(Laguerre-Gaussian,LG)涡旋光束传输特性的影响,本文基于菲涅尔衍射理论,模拟研究了不同透镜球差系数下的LG光束聚焦场的强度、相位以及螺旋谱分布。结果表明:光学系统初级球差系数的增大恶化了LG光束聚焦场的强度分布和螺旋相位,弥散了轨道角动量(orbital angular momentum,OAM) 。由此,本文提出了一种光阑补偿方案,通过在透镜前添加大小合适的圆孔光阑,以消除透镜像差。光阑补偿后的LG光束聚焦场由星芒状空心分布恢复为空心圆环分布,OAM态保持单一稳定。本研究工作为改善透镜像差对涡旋光的传输影响提供了解决方案。     

矢量涡旋光束经光阑-透镜系统的OAM与偏振特性

与标量涡旋光束不同,矢量涡旋光束同时具有各项异性的空间偏振分布和螺旋相位分布,并携带与相位分布有关的轨道角动量(Orbital angular momentum,OAM)。根据柯林斯衍射积分理论,得到了傍轴近似条件下矢量涡旋光束的OAM密度,实验采集了矢量涡旋光束通过光阑-透镜系统后的光场,详细讨论了光阑截断参数以及光阑-透镜间距等参数对矢量涡旋光场及其OAM密度的影响。结果表明:相比标量涡旋光束,矢量涡旋光束OAM通过光阑系统后随传输距离的衰减更慢,受光阑截断参数影响更小。矢量涡旋光束偏振态不受光阑-透镜系统影响,截断参数大于4.2时,轨道角动量密度和光强不受截断参数影响。在透镜焦点位置处,OAM密度达到最大值。研究结果为矢量涡旋光束OAM特性的应用提供理论依据。     

大气湍流下轨道角动量复用态串扰分析

以加载QPSK调制信号的轨道角动量（OAM）光束为传输载波,以多个相位屏模拟大气湍流,研究不同大气湍流强度下OAM复用态的串扰情况。通过对复用光束光强和相位研究,得出在OAM复用态光强受到湍流影响时会发生明显的闪烁现象,光功率分散,相位发生旋转弯曲,且湍流强度越大,受到的影响越大。选用螺旋谱分析不同湍流强度下各OAM复用态之间的弥散程度,当大气湍流强度增加时,OAM态之间的弥散程度增加,且较强湍流会导致OAM复用态失真。同时,考虑OAM复用态之间的模式串扰以及每路携带信息的OAM态因大气信道引起的混合噪声而造成的码间干扰,对比研究了不同大气湍流强度下系统误码率随传输距离的变化,结果表明:系统误码率随传输距离的增长而增大,强湍流之下光束误码率会随着传输距离增长到一定程度后趋于平稳,弱湍流之下光束误码率会随着传输距离的增长而增大。     

轨道角动量叠加态的产生及其检验

带有螺旋相位分布的波束都具有轨道角动量（Orbital Angular Momentum,OAM）,其螺旋相位取决于OAM态拓扑荷数。理论分析了叠加涡旋光束的相位及光场分布,然后将叠加态涡旋光束的相位分布图加载到空间光调制器上产生了多态涡旋光束,讨论了不同拓扑荷数叠加时光场衍射图的分布情况。实验结果表明,叠加态的涡旋光束光场衍射图随着叠加光束拓扑荷数的正负以及数值而呈一定规律性变化,即当叠加的两束光拓扑荷数为异号时,衍射产生的光斑数为两束光拓扑荷数绝对值之和;当叠加的两束光拓扑荷数为同号时,衍射产生的光斑数为两束光拓扑荷数之差的绝对值。通过此性质可以检验涡旋光束的拓扑荷数,为叠加涡旋光束在自由空间光复用通信系统的拓扑荷数检测提供了新的方法。     

大气湍流对拉盖尔-高斯光束传播质量的影响

为了从系统的角度研究大气湍流对涡旋光束传播 质量的影响,根据广义惠更斯-菲涅尔积分和Kolmogorov湍流大气原理,利 用傅里叶光学分析方法和光束分步传播法对携带有轨道角动量(OAM)的 拉盖尔-高斯(LG)光束在湍流大气中的传播进行理论分析与数值仿真, 导出角谱形式的衍射模型及其对应的抽样限制条件。利用桶中功率(PIB,power in bucket)计算方法,分析湍流强度对不同OAM值的LG光束质量的 影响;引入高斯光束和点光源,对比评估典型光束的抗湍流能力。数值仿真结果表明:受大 气湍流影响,随着LG光束在湍流大气 中传播距离增加,光束会聚能力变弱有明显扩散;光束本身特有的环状光强分布及其相应的 相位分布都受到不同程度的破坏,损伤 程度与光束本身携带的OAM数有关;点光源对湍流的影响最为敏 感;高斯光束具有与小OAM值的LG光束相比拟的抗 湍流能力,且比大OAM数的LG光束有更强的抗湍流能力。     

拉盖尔-高斯光束空间传播波前畸变的RMS评估

定量评估拉盖尔-高斯(LG,Laguerre-GAUSS)光束在大气湍流中传输的相位畸变,对 补偿和提高轨道角动量(OAM,Orbital angular momentum)自由空间光通信的质量具有重 要作用。提出将Zernike多项式导出的LG光束波前畸变的均方根(RMS) 作为光束传播的相位畸变评估指标,并在仿真实验中采用分谐波(SH)随机相位屏模拟大气湍 流。 通过Matlab仿真方法对携带不同拓扑荷值的LG光束在湍流中传输的波前畸变(WFD)的RMS进行 分析和讨论。仿真结果表明,利用SH波法产生的随机相位屏比快速傅里叶变换(FFT)法更接 近 实际的大气湍流;受大气湍流影响,LG光束的相位受到破坏,且其损伤程度与光束传输距 离﹑光束携带OAM数l有关;WFD的RMS计算结果与相位仿真结果一致,作为算例,OAM数分别为l＝1、3和5的LG光束传输500m后的WFD的RMS值 依次对应为0.004、0.004和0.005,显示波前畸变愈加严重;对l为1的LG 光束,随着传输距离从500m增大到4500m,其WFD的 RMS值由0.004增大到0.005,也表明WFD更加严重。因 此,RMS定量评估方法可以较为准确和客观地反映LG光束WFD的规 律。

Resolution Enhancement Technology:Integrated Process Solutions using OPC

DUV lithography, using the 248 nm wavelength, is a viable manufacturing option for devices with features at 130 nm and less. Given the low kl value of the lithography, integrated process development is a necessary method for achieving acceptable process latitude. The application of assist features for rule based OPC requires the simultaneous optimization of the mask, illumination optics and the resist.Described in this paper are the details involved in optimizing each of these aspects for line and space imaging.A reference pitch is first chosen to determine how the optics will be set. The ideal sigma setting is determined by a simple geometrically derived expression. The inner and outer machine settings are determined, in turn,with the simulation of a figure of merit. The maximum value of the response surface of this FOM occurs at the optimal sigma settings. Experimental confirmation of this is shown in the paper.Assist features are used to modify the aerial image of the more isolated images on the mask. The effect that the diffraction of the scattering bars (SBs) has on the image intensity distribution is explained. Rules for determining the size and placement of SBs are also given.Resist is optimized for use with off-axis illumination and assist features. A general explanation of the material' s effect is discussed along with the affect on the through-pitch bias. The paper culminates with the showing of the lithographic results from the fully optimized system.     

Cost-effective test solutions for smart card and other integrated flash applications

From its emergence in the late 1980s as a lower cost alternative to early EEPROM technologies, flash memory has evolved to higher densities and speedsand rapidly growing acceptance in mobile applications.In the process, flash memory devices have placed increased test requirements on manufacturers. Today, as flash device test grows in importance in China, manufacturers face growing pressure for reduced cost-oftest, increased throughput and greater return on investment for test equipment. At the same time, the move to integrated flash packages for contactless smart card applications adds a significant further challenge to manufacturers seeking rapid, low-cost test.     

Theoretical analysis of the relationship between the Brillouin gain coefficient and the strain in the optical-fiber sensors

The relation between the power of the Brillouin signal and the strain is one of the bases of the distributed fiber sensors of temperature and strain. The coefficient of the Bfillouin gain can be changed by the temperature and the strain that will affect the power of the Brillouin scattering. The relation between the change of the Brillouin gain coefficient and the strain is thought to be linear by many researchers. However, it is not always linear based on the theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. Therefore, errors will be caused if the relation between the change of the Brillouin gain coefficient and the strain is regarded as to be linear approximately for measuring the temperature and the strain. For this reason, the influence of the parameters on the Brillouin gain coefficient is proposed through theoretical analysis and numerical simulation.     

An improved parallel thinning algorithm with two subiterations

The parallel thinning algorithm with two subiterations is improved in this paper. By analyzing the notions of connected components and passes, a conclusion is drawn that the number of passes and the number of eight-connected components are equal. Then the expression of the number of eight-connected components is obtained which replaces the old one in the algorithm. And a reserving condition is proposed by experiments, which alleviates the excess deletion where a diagonal line and a beeline intersect. The experimental results demonstrate that the thinned curve is almost located in the middle of the original curve connectivelv with single pixel width and the processing speed is high.     

Novel fiber-optical interferometer with miniaturized probe for in-hole measurements

Today, micro-system technology and the development of new MEMS （Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems） are emerging rapidly. In order for this development to become a success in the long run, measurement systems have to ensure product quality. Most often, MEMS have to be tested by means of functionality or destructive tests. One reason for this is that there are no suitable systems or sensing probes available which can be used for the measurement of quasi inaccessible features like small holes or cavities. We present a measurement system that could be used for these kinds of measurements. The system combines a fiber optical, miniaturized sensing probe with low-coherence interferometry, so that absolute distance measurements with nanometer accuracy are possible.     

Study of waveguide coupling efficiency in hybrid silicon lasers

This paper presents a new method to increase the waveguide coupling efficiency in hybrid silicon lasers. We find that the propagation constant of the InGaAsP emitting layer can be equal to that of the Si resonant layer through improving the design size of the InP waveguide. The coupling power achieves 42% of the total power in the hybrid lasers when the thickness of the bonding layer is 100 nm. Our result is very close to 50% of the total power reported by Intel when the thickness of the thin bonding layer is less than 5 nm. Therefore, our invariable coupling power technique is simpler than Intel＇s.     

Teleportation of an arbitrary unknown N-qubit entangled state under the controlling of M controllers

A new quantum protocol to teleport an arbitrary unknown N-qubit entangled state from a sender to a fixed receiver under M controllers(M < N) is proposed. The quantum resources required are M non-maximally entangled Greenberger-Home-Zeilinger (GHZ) state and N-M non-maximally entangled Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pairs. The sender performs N generalized Bell-state measurements on the 2N particles. Controllers take M single-particle measurement along x-axis, and the receiver needs to introduce one auxiliary two-level particle to extract quantum information probabilistically with the fidelity unit if controllers cooperate with it.
