Research on Beam and Degree of Polarization of Partially Coherent Radially Polarized Beam in Turbulent Atmosphere
Chen Shunyi, Ding Panfeng, and Pu Jixiong
Based on the theory of generalized Huygens theory and the unified theory of coherence and polarization, distribution of the intensity of partially coherent radially polarized beams influenced by source wavelength, and degree of polarization (DOP) influenced by coherence, atmosphere turbulence intensity, spot size and sBased on the theory of generalized Huygens theory and the unified theory of coherence and polarization, distribution of the intensity of partially coherent radially polarized beams influenced by source wavelength, and degree of polarization (DOP) influenced by coherence, atmosphere turbulence intensity, spot size and source wavelength, are investigated while propagating in turbulent atmosphere. It is shown that while the partially coherent radially polarized beams propagate in turbulent atmosphere, the distribution of intensity is affected by source wavelength obviously. With the increase of propagation distance, the doughnut beam spot of the partially coherent radially polarized beam becomes a solid beam, which is related to source wavelength. The shorter the source wavelength is, the longer distance the partially coherent radially polarized beam propagates to form a solid beam shape. In addition, distribution of DOP is also affected by coherence, atmosphere turbulence intensity, spot size and source wavelength. At a certain propagation distance, the rate of DOP with radius increases with the larger original coherence, the weaker atmosphere turbulence intensity, the bigger spot size and the shorter source wavelength. Such tendency becomes more obvious with longer propagation distance..

Take arbitrary circle secants, the relationship between the secant midpoint and the point at infinity is clear according to the harmonic conjugates and cross-ratio invariance. The equations which contain parameters of secant midpoints are established for solving secant midpoints based on the geometric constraints. Then the position of projected circular center is calculated. Compared with taking the center of projected ellipse as the center point directly, the proposed method does not have projection error. Simulation experiment results show that the accuracy and stability of the method is superior to the method of extracting ellipse′s center. The results of actual experiment show that the circular center positions are consistent with the positions extracted from the relationship among multiple circles, and the maximum position error does not exceed 0.8 pixel. The proposed method can locate the center of a single projected circle independently, which is suitable for wider applications..

The differential operator is often approximated by difference scheme in PDE models. Three kinds of difference scheme such as central difference, nine point difference and higher difference are introduced. The representative orientation second order PDE filtering model is selected and analyzed, approximating differential operator in PDE model with three different difference schemes using simulated fringe image, simulated phase image and experiment fringe image. The result indicates the high density region and sparse density region can be balanced preferably with higher difference for large density change image.

Recent progress in the development of terahertz QWPs is reviewed in the following aspects. First, by considering the many-particle effects, the response peak frequency and the band structure of terahertz QWPs are calculated and optimized accurately; the electron transport behavior is explored within the self-consistent emissioncapture model. Second, three types of light couplers for terahertz QWPs are introduced. At resonant frequencies, the polarization of the light field is effectively tuned by the light couplers to fulfill the selection rule for intersubband transitions. The electric field intensities in the active multi-quantum-well (MQW) absorption region of terahertz QWPs are also enhanced. Therefore, the sensitivity of terahertz QWPs is improved. Third, the anomalous response peak at the longitudinal optical (LO) phonon frequency of GaAs is found in terahertz QWPs. Such response peak originates from the field enhancement in the MQW absorption layer mediated by LO phonons..

Currently manual interception is usually adopted in the engineering application. The method often causes high error and low precision. Aiming at these problems, an effective method of Doppler signal automatic extraction is proposed. The obvious noise can be intercepted. According to the principle of Doppler, the method uses short-time Fourier transform (STFT) to acquire the velocity of the entire signal. The maximun velocity point is judged as the terminal point for the effective signal. The improved method of multiple-window energy ratio is adopted to determine the starting point. The experimental results through simulated signal and actual signal show that the average error of the method to extract the starting points and terminal points of the effective signal is 0.1875 μs..

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) film prepared by pulsed laser deposition is one of excellent means for antireflective and protective films of infrared (IR) window. DLC film on silicon is prepared by 248 nm nanosecond laser, and influence of pulse energy on optics performance, mechanical hardness and residual stress of DLC fiDiamond-like carbon (DLC) film prepared by pulsed laser deposition is one of excellent means for antireflective and protective films of infrared (IR) window. DLC film on silicon is prepared by 248 nm nanosecond laser, and influence of pulse energy on optics performance, mechanical hardness and residual stress of DLC film are studied. According as experiments, IR transmission and surface hardness of the films both increase along with increasing of laser pulse energy, which indicates that high energy is propitious to prepare protective DLC film for IR window. However, residual stress in DLC film is also increased to reduce the adhesion strength of the film on substrate. This result supplies the practice base to the study on DLC film prepared by nanosecond pulse laser deposition..

In the system, femtosecond laser pulse train is utilized as the light carrier, and the signals under test are mixed with the high order harmonics of the femtosecond pulse envelope function, and then are down-converted into direct current (DC) for further measurement. Since femtosecond pulse train is characterized with wide-banded harmonics, the present system could cover a measurement bandwidth of 100 GHz. Aperture electric field amplitude distributions of 6.56 GHz and 100 GHz antennas are measured, respectively, using such system and the experiment results are corresponding well with electromagnetic simulations, which proves the correctness of the design. Besides, the harmonic mixer is achieved by using an electro-optical crystal(i.e. LiNbO3) based on Pockels′ effect..
