Holographically aided iterative phase retrieval
2012
Fourier transform holography (FTH) is a noise-resistant imaging technique which allows for nanometer spatial resolution x-ray imaging, where the inclusion of a small reference scattering object provides the otherwise missing phase information. With FTH, one normally requires a considerable distance between the sample and the reference to ensure spatial separation of the reconstruction and its autocorrelation. We demonstrate however that this requirement can be omitted at the small cost of iteratively separating the reconstruction and autocorrelation. In doing so, the photon efficiency of FTH can be increased due to a smaller illumination area, and we show how the presence of the reference p…
All-diffractive achromatic Fourier-transform setup
2009
An achromatic Fourier transformation under broadband converging spherical-wave illumination is optically achieved by use of only two on-axis blazed zone plates. The novel optical configuration provides the achromatic Fraunhofer diffraction pattern of an arbitrary input signal with adjustable magnification. Further analysis of the system permits us to obtain a simple analytical expression to evaluate both the longitudinal and the transversal residual chromatic aberration, resulting in a compact achromatic Fourier transformer with low chromatic errors, even for a wide spectral content of the point source.
Influence of Multiple Scattering of the Intensity and Polarization of Diffuse Sky Radiation
1964
A physical explanation of the intensity and polarization of diffusion skylight in the plane of the sun’s vertical is attempted by an approximation method which takes into account the effects of multiple scattering. Various model atmospheres are considered. The scattered radiation field is assumed to be composed of (1) the scattered radiation due to the molecular atmosphere resulting from all orders of scattering; (2) the scattered radiation due to the turbid atmosphere including primary scattering only; and (3) the scattered radiation due to the turbid atmosphere resulting from secondary and higher-order scattering. The contribution due to the first term can be computed from the tables appl…
Collision-induced polarization scattering of dispersion managed solitons
2005
Using a multiscale expansion of coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations we study the role of map strength and channel spacing for two colliding solitons. We numerically study then the depolarization caused by collisions of dispersion-managed vector solitons.
High performance configuration of all-raman N &#x000D7; 40 Gbit/s RZ-DPSK systems over ultrawave<sup>TM</sup> maps
2007
In order to explore the impact of the DPSK format on best system configuration, and to cross-check the simulation tools, transmission experiments involving 16 × 40 Gbit/s WDM channels on a recirculating loop including a symmetric UltrawaveTM fiber dispersion map are performed. In these experiments the RZ-DPSK format is used, and each 100 km span is brought to optical transparency with 75%(25%) of backward (forward) Raman gain. The pre-compensation is experimentally varied, and a significant transmission improvement after 4000 km for the pre-compensation of -350 ps/nm is observed.
Apodization of imaging systems by means of a random spatially nonstationary absorbing screen
1992
The amplitude impulse response (AIR) of coherent imaging systems with random binary apodizers is analyzed. Formulas for the mean value and the variance of the AIR are derived for two statistical one-dimensional models of apodizers: (1) nonuniform low-density shot noise and (2) a nonuniform unipolar synchronous random process. We show that for both models a high signal-to-noise ratio is achieved within the central peak and the low-order sidelobes of the AIR. Apodizers based on the second model permit higher values of the signal-to-noise ratio than those based on the first one.
Tapered Two-Wire Waveguide for Time-Domain Integration of Broadband Terahertz Pulses
2021
We show the time-domain integration of terahertz pulses achieved in a sub-wavelength, tapered two-wire waveguide. Both simulation and experimental results prove the time integration functionality of this waveguide topology.
Analytical formulation of the axial behavior of apodized general Bessel beams
1999
We present an analytical formula for the evaluation of the axial-irradiance distribution of general Bessel beams apodized by a radially-nonsymmetric window. Our approach is based on the similarity between the axial behavior of such beams and the propagation properties of a properly modified version of the window transmittance. To illustrate our formalism, we analyze the axial behavior of some complex beams.
Piecewise static Hamiltonian for an atom in strong laser field
2009
We show that it is possible to use a piecewise constant Hamiltonian to describe the main features of the dynamics of an atom interacting with a laser field. In particular we show that using this approximation we are able to give a good description of the ionization signal, of the HHG spectra and of the attosecond pulses generated by the radiating electron. Finally, we give an explicit formula to evaluate the ionization rate in the time dependent laser field. This formula, which is a generalization of the Landau formula for the ionization rate of an atom in a static electric field, fairly well reproduces the numerical ionization rates for a broad range of laser frequency and intensity. The m…
The local group K(4) in the algebraic approach to vibrational spectra of tetrahedral molecules: Application to silane
1992
Abstract In a previous paper, Michelot and Moret-Bailly (J. Phys., 48, 51 (1987)) proposed an algebraic treatment of vibrational stretching modes in polyatomic molecules. They used the properties of the group chain U(p + 1) ⊃ U(p) ⊃ S(p) ⊃ G for the study of p identical oscillators. The molecule, with p equivalent bonds described as a system of p oscillators, has a symmetry group G. We develop in this paper an application to p = 4 equivalent oscillators. We show that, for a tetrahedral molecule, the group chain U(5) ⊃ U(4) ⊃ S(4) ≈ Td can be completed, in a local point of view, with a particular group K(4): U(5) ⊃ U(4) ⊃ K(4) ⊃ S(4) ≈ T d This group provides us with available labels which c…
