A conventional Michelson-type interometer is used for the electron density measurement, and a Dodel-Kunz-type polarimeter is used for the Faraday rotation effect measurement, respectively. Each HCOOH laser can produce a linearly polarized radiation at a power lever of -30 mW, and a power stability 〈10% in 50 rain. A beam waist (diameter d0 ≈12.0 mm, about 200 mm away from the outlet) is finally determined through a chopping modulation technique. The latest optical layout of the interferometer/polarimeter has been finished, and the hardware data processing system based on the fast Fourier transform phase- comparator technique is being explored. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of the diagnostic scheme, two associated bench simulation experiments were carried out in the laboratory, in which the plasma was simulated by a piece of polytetrafluoroethene plate, and the Faraday rotation effect was simulated by a rotating half-wave plate. Simulation results agreed well with the initial experimental conditions. At present, the HCOOH laser interferometer/polarimeter system is being assembled on HL-2A, and is planned to be applied in the 2014-2015 experimental campaign.展开更多

Compared with the Abel inversion method, evolution of the density profile analyzed by this method can quickly offer important information. This method has the advantage of fast calculation speed with the order of ten milliseconds per normal shot and it is capable of processing up to 1 MHz sampled data, which is helpful for studying density sawtooth instability and the disruption between shots. In the duration of a flat-top plasma current of usual ohmic discharges on J-TEXT, shape factor u is ranged from 4 to 5. When the disruption of discharge happens, the density profile becomes peaked and the shape factor u typically decreases to 1.展开更多

The model includes the driven equation, the current equation and the position equation. Therefore, it can sufficiently describe the gyro- scope system. The driven equation shows the thermally driven gyroscope can work for a long time but the pres- sure driven one cannot. From the current equation, the superfluid currents passing through the weak link contain the AC currents which show the rotation flux, and other currents caused by drive. As shown in the position equa- tion, the displacement of diaphragm is the only detectable parameter in the gyroscope system. The model is tested by the simulations based on experimental parameters, and can be used to research performance of the gyroscope and analyse the gyroscope error.展开更多

文摘Magnetic reconnection of the self-generated magnetic fields in laser-plasma interaction is an important laboratory method for modeling high-energy density astronomical and astrophysical phenomena.We use the Martin-Puplett interferometer(MPI)polarimeter to probe the peripheral magnetic fields generated in the common magnetic reconnection configuration,two separated coplanar plane targets,in laser-target interaction.We introduce a new method that can obtain polarization information from the interference pattern instead of the sinusoidal function fitting of the intensity.A bidirectional magnetic field is observed from the side view,which is consistent with the magneto-hydro-dynamical(MHD)simulation results of self-generated magnetic field reconnection.We find that the cancellation of reverse magnetic fields after averaging and integration along the observing direction could reduce the magnetic field strength by one to two orders of magnitude.It indicates that imaging resolution can significantly affect the accuracy of measured magnetic field strength.

文摘A method of fast data processing has been developed to rapidly obtain evolution of the electron density profile for a multichannel polarimeter-interferometer system(POLARIS)on J-TEXT. Compared with the Abel inversion method, evolution of the density profile analyzed by this method can quickly offer important information. This method has the advantage of fast calculation speed with the order of ten milliseconds per normal shot and it is capable of processing up to 1 MHz sampled data, which is helpful for studying density sawtooth instability and the disruption between shots. In the duration of a flat-top plasma current of usual ohmic discharges on J-TEXT, shape factor u is ranged from 4 to 5. When the disruption of discharge happens, the density profile becomes peaked and the shape factor u typically decreases to 1.

文摘A novel near-infrared all-fiber mode monitor based on a mini-two-path Mach-Zehnder interferometer(MTP-MZI)is proposed.The MTP-MZI mode monitor is created by fusing a section of(no-core fiber,NCF)and a(single-mode fiber,SMF)together with an optical fiber fusion splicer,establishing two distinct centimeter-level optical transmission paths.Since the high-order modes in NCF transmit near-infrared light more sensitively to curvature-induced energy leakage than the fundamental mode in SMF,the near-infrared high-order mode light leaks out of NCF when the curvature changes,causing the MTP-MZI transmission spectrum to change.By ana⁃lyzing the relationship between the curvature,transmission spectrum,and spatial frequency spectrum,the modes involved in the interference can be studied,thereby revealing the mode transmission characteristics of near-infra⁃red light in optical fibers.In the verification experiments,higher-order modes were excited by inserting a novel hollow-core fiber(HCF)into the MTP-MZI.When the curvature of the MTP-MZI changes,the near-infrared light high-order mode introduced into the device leaks out,causing the transmission spectrum to return to its origi⁃nal state before bending and before the HCF was spliced.The experimental results demonstrate that the MTP-MZI mode monitor can monitor the fiber modes introduced from the external environment,providing both theoretical and experimental foundations for near-infrared all-fiber mode monitoring in optical information systems.
文摘According to the measurement principle of the traditional interferometer,a narrowband signal model is established and used,however,for wideband signals or multiple signals,this model is invalid.For the problems of direction finding with interferometer for wideband signals and multiple signals scene,a frequency domain phase interferometer is proposed and the concrete implementation scheme is given.The proposed method computes the phase difference in frequency domain,and finds multi-target results with judging the spectrum amplitude changing,and uses the frequency phase difference to compute the arrival angle.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed method effectively solves the problem of the angle estimation with phase interferometer for wideband signals,and has good performance in multiple signals scene with nonoverlapping spectrum or partially overlapping.In addition,the wider the signal bandwidth,the better direction finding performance of this algorithm.

文摘Full-Stokes polarimeters can detect the polarization states of light,which is critical for the next-generation optical and optoelectronic systems.Traditional full-Stokes polarimeters are either based on bulky optical systems or complex metasurface structures,which cause the system complexity with unessential energy loss.Recently,filterless on-chip full-Stokes polarimeters have been demonstrated by using optical anisotropic materials which are able to detect the circularly polarized light.Nevertheless,those on-chip full-Stokes polarimeters have either the limited detection wavelength range or relatively poor device performance that need to be further improved.Here,we report the high performance broadband full-Stokes polarimeters based on rhenium disulfide(ReS_(2)).While the anisotropic structure of the ReS_(2)introduces the in-plane optical anisotropy for linearly polarized light(LP)detection,Schottky contacts formed by the ReS_(2)-Au could break the symmetry,which can detect circularly polarized(CP)light.By building a proper model,all four Stokes parameters can be extracted by using the ReS_(2)nanobelt device.The device delivers a photoresponsivity of 181 A/W,a detectivity of 6.8×10^(10)Jones and can sense the four Stokes parameters of incident light within a wide range of wavelength from 565-800 nm with reasonable average errors.We believe our study provides an alternative strategy to develop high performance broadband on-chip full-Stokes polarimeters.

文摘In x-ray dark-field imaging using dual phase grating interferometer,multi-contrast signals are extracted from a set of acquired phase-stepping data by using the least-squares fitting algorithm.The extracted mean intensity,amplitude and visibility signals may be intrinsically biased.However,it is still unclear how large these biases are and how the data acquisition parameters influence the biases in the extracted signals.This work set out to address these questions.Analytical expressions of the biases of the extracted signals were theoretically derived by using a second-order Taylor series expansion.Extensive numerical simulations were performed to validate the theoretical results.It is illustrated that while the estimated mean intensity signal is always unbiased,the estimated amplitude and visibility signals are both positively biased.While the biases of the estimated amplitude signals are proportional to the inverse of the total number of phase steps,the biases of the estimated visibility signals are inversely proportional to the product of the total number of phase steps and the mean number of photons counted per phase step.Meanwhile,it is demonstrated that the dependence of the biases on the mean visibility is quite different from that of Talbot-Lau interferometer due to the difference in the intensity model.We expect that these results can be useful for data acquisition optimizations and interpretation of x-ray dark-field images.
文摘Temporal optics,which enables lossless manipulation of ultrafast pulses,offers a new dimension for the regulation of quantum optical fields.In this paper,we established a temporal Fourier transform(TF)system based on a four-wave mixing(FWM)time lens and constructed a full quantum theoretical model for the resulting temporal SU(1,1)interferometer.This interferometer has high temporal resolution,can impose interference in both time and frequency domains,and is sensitive to the phase derivative.By introducing linear time-varying phase modulation,we achieved sub-picosecond precision in temporal autocorrelation measurements and generatedan optical frequency comb with a fixed interval based on a feedback iteration mechanism.Theoretical analysis revealsthe crucial regulatory role of time-frequency coupling in quantum interference,providing novel solutions for ultrafast quantum imaging,temporal mode encoding,and the generation of optical frequency quantization.

文摘The gravitational memory effect manifests gravitational nonlinearity,degenerate vacua,and asymptotic symmetries;its detection is considered challenging.We propose using a space-borne interferometer to detect memory signals from stellar-mass binary black holes(BBHs),typically targeted by ground-based detectors.We use DECIGO detector as an example.Over 5 years,DECIGO is estimated to detect approximately 2,036 memory signals(SNRs>3)from stellar-mass BBHs.Simulations used frequency-domain memory waveforms for direct SNR estimation.Predictions utilized a GWTC-3 constrained BBH population model(Power law+Peak mass,DEFAULT spin,Madau-Dickinson merger rate).The analysis used conservative lower merger rate limits and considered orbital eccentricity.The high detection rate stems from strong memory signals within DECIGO’s bandwidth and the abundance of stellar-mass BBHs.This substantial and conservative detection count enables statistical use of the memory effect for fundamental physics and astrophysics.DECIGO exemplifies that space interferometers may better detect memory signals from smaller mass binaries than their typical targets.Detectors in lower frequency bands are expected to find strong memory signals from∼10^(4)M⊙binaries.

文摘A compact and highly sensitive gas pressure and temperature sensor based on Fabry-Pérot interferometer(FPI)and fiber Bragg grating(FBG)is proposed and demonstrated experimentally in this paper.The theoretical model for pressure and temperature sensing is established.Building on this foundation,a novel micro silicon cavity sensor structure sensitive to pressure is devised downstream of an FBG.The concept of separate measurement and the mechanisms enhancing pressure sensitivity are meticulously analyzed,and the corresponding samples are fabricated.The experimental results indicate that the pressure sensitivity of the sensor is-747.849 nm/MPa in 0—100 k Pa and its linearity is 99.7%and it maintains good stability in 150 min.The sensor offers the advantages of compact size,robust construction,easy fabrication,and high sensitivity,making it potentially valuable for micro-pressure application.

文摘Interferometry is a crucial investigative technique used across diverse fields to achieve highprecision measurements.It works by analyzing the phase difference between two interfering waves,which results from variations in optical path lengths within an interferometer.We introduce a novel method for directly measuring changes in the phase difference within an optical interferometer,importantly,with the added advantage of a controllable enhancement factor.This approach is achieved through a two-step process:first,the optical phase difference is encoded into a sub-GHz radiofrequency(RF)signal using microwave-photonic manipulation;then,RF interferometry-assisted phase amplification is implemented at the destructive interference point.In our experiments,we demonstrate a phase sensitivity of 2.14 rad∕nm operating at 140 MHz using a miniature in-fiber Fabry-Pérot interferometer for sub-nanometer displacement sensing,which reveals a sensitivity magnification factor of 258.6.With further refinement,we anticipate that even higher enhancement factors can be achieved,paving the way for the development of cost-effective,ultrasensitive interferometry-based instruments for high-precision optical measurements.

文摘The mathematical model of 4He quantum interferometer gyroscope is presented. The model includes the driven equation, the current equation and the position equation. Therefore, it can sufficiently describe the gyro- scope system. The driven equation shows the thermally driven gyroscope can work for a long time but the pres- sure driven one cannot. From the current equation, the superfluid currents passing through the weak link contain the AC currents which show the rotation flux, and other currents caused by drive. As shown in the position equa- tion, the displacement of diaphragm is the only detectable parameter in the gyroscope system. The model is tested by the simulations based on experimental parameters, and can be used to research performance of the gyroscope and analyse the gyroscope error.
