一种近似矢量衍射模型在衍射微光学元件分析中的应用

标量衍射理论形式简洁，有很高实用性，但是在衍射微光学元件分析中显得模型粗糙，准确度下降。严格矢量衍射理论由于计算复杂，非常耗费时间和资源，因此也不是一种很有效的设计工具。 我们在本文中运用了一种简单的近似矢量衍射模型分析了几种典型衍射微光学元件衍射性能，此衍射模型采用了标量衍射理论和近似近场模型的结合。 TE和TM两种偏振模式均运用此近似矢量衍射模型进行了分析，我们发现此衍射模型可以得到比标量衍射理论更准确的结果，而与严格电磁场理论相比，它占用很少的计算时间。

Toward the subdiffraction focusing limit of optical superresolution

A superresolving three-zone plate is applied to a Fresnel diffractive lens. It is shown that for radial incident polarization this combination produces a focal spot approaching superresolution allowed subdiffractive limit of 0.36lambda/NA for focusing. For media responsive to longitudinal field component only, our phase engineering scheme results in a focal spot size of 0.368lambda/NA. When used with a solid immersion lens, the scheme can generate the smallest focal spot available for passive optics.

Photon sieve for reduction of the far-field diffraction spot size in the laser free-space communication system

In the free-space laser communication, there is sometimes a strong need for reduction of the diffraction spot size in the far field. In this paper, instead of the usage of the larger size aperture lens and super-resolution technology in the free-space laser communication system, we introduce photon sieve to compress the center spot in the diffractive far field, which can decrease the weight of the emitting lens. We have designed the photon sieve and calculated its far-field diffractive intensity. We have also calculated the far field Airy diffractive field intensity. Simulation proves that the photon sieve diffractive spot is smaller than the Airy spot with the same transmit aperture. We have set up an experimental system to simulate the far-field diffraction free-space laser communication. Experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical results. Detailed experiments are presented.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF DIFFRACTIVE PROPERTIES OF WAVELENGTH-SIZED SINGLE GROOVE IN Si-Si3N4 SUBSTRATE

Experimental results are presented for the diffractive properties of wavelength-sized single groove in Si-Si₃N₄ substrate. The experimental results show that the diffraction of wavelength-sized single grooves in a non-perfectly conducting material is more complex than that of perfectly conducting material. The diffraction intensities change with the change of polarization angle of the incident light. The diffraction intensities for TM polarization light are larger as the groove width is larger. The diffraction intensities of TM polarization light decrease gradually and that of TE polarization light increase gradually when the groove width is close to the wavelength of the incident light. The variations of diffraction intensities are quite different not only for various grooves with different widths but also for different diffraction angles for the same groove. Although the intensity variation of each diffraction order has a very regular sinusoidal dependence on the polarization angles of the incident light, the variation phase of each diffraction order is not all the same.     

Phase interpretation for polarization-dependent near-field images of high-density gratings

It has been described that the near-field images of a high-density grating at the half self-imaging distance could be different for TE and TM polarization states. We propose that the phases of the diffraction orders play an important role in such polarization dependence. The view is verified through the coincidence of the numerical result of finite-difference time-domain method and the reconstructed results from the rigorous coupled-wave analysis. Field distributions of TE and TM polarizations are given numerically for a grating with period d = 2.3λ, which are verified through experiments with the scanning near-field optical microscopy technique. The concept of phase interpretation not only explains the polarization dependence at the half self-imaging distance of gratings with a physical view, but also, it could be widely used to describe the near-field diffraction of a variety of periodic diffractive optical elements whose feature size comparable to the wavelength.     

Complete Polarization Conversion Characteristics of Dielectric Grating Composed of Left-Handed Materials

The TE/TM polarization conversion characteristics of dielectric grating composed of left-handed materials for the case of plane wave oblique incidence are carefully investigated by a method which combines the multimode network theory with the rigorous mode matching method. It is indicated that complete polarization conversion between TE and TM modes can be realized using left-handed gratings. This can hardly achieve in the conventional right-handed gratings. Comparisons of polarization conversion properties between right-handed gratings and left-handed gratings are given with physical explanations. This unique merit of left-handed periodic structure is of important significance for accurate design of new millimeter wave TE/TM polarization converters.     

Polarization changes in vector Gaussian-Schell-model beams propagating through a thin lens

Based on Wolf's general tensorial theory of coherence, in which the vector nature of electromagnetic fields is considered, the closed-form propagation equation of vector Gaussian-Schell-model (GSM) beams passing through a paraxial optical ABCD system is derived, which shows the general applicable advantage, and is used to study polarization changes of GSM beams in passage through a thin lens. It is found that polarization changes are dependent on the propagation distance, focal length of the lens, beam and coherence parameters and bandwidth of the source spectrum in general. A comparison with the previous results is also made.

Gradient-index waveguide lens systems for polarization modulation of random electromagnetic beams

A new method is proposed for polarization modulation of random electromagnetic beams. The changes in the spectral degree and the state of polarization of such after their passage through the gradient-index (GRIN) waveguide lens system are investigated while the parameters of the system are adjusted. It is demonstrated that passage through the GRIN waveguide lens system can lead to more complex changes in the beam’s polarization than its free-space propagation.
