Focusing Properties

The focusing properties of elegant third-order Hermite–Gaussian beams (TH3GBs) and the radiation forces exerted on dielectric spherical particles produced by such beams in the Rayleigh scattering regime have been theoretically studied. Numerical results indicate that the elegant TH3GBs can be used to simultaneously trap and manipulate nanosized dielectric spheres with refractive indexes lower than the surrounding medium at the focus and those with refractive indexes larger than the surrounding medium in the focal vicinity. Furthermore, by changing the radius of the beam waist, the transverse trapping range and stiffness at the focal plane can be changed.

AbstractThis study investigates the propagation properties and radiation forces on Rayleigh dielectric particles produced by novel sine-modulated Gaussian beams (SMGBs) because of the unique focusing properties of four independent light intensity distribution centers and possessing many deep potential wells in the output plane of the target laser. The described beams can concurrently capture and manipulate multiple Rayleigh dielectric spheres with high refractive indices without disturbing each other at the focus plane. Spheres with a low refractive index can be guided or confined in the focus but cannot be stably trapped in this single beam trap. Simulation results demonstrate that the focused SMGBs can be used to trap particle in different planes by increasing the sine-modulate coefficient g. The conditions for effective and stable capture of high-index particles and the threshold of detectable radius are determined at the end of this study.

Fundamental Wavelength

We report the third-order nonlinear susceptibilities χ(3) of CdS clusters (quantum dots) from 7 to 120 Å, measured by third-harmonic generation technique at a fundamental wavelength of 1.91 µm. In the size regime studied, the value of χ(3) first increases with cluster size and then levels off for cluster diameter larger than 60 Å. The volume normalized χ(3) of CdS cluster is about a factor of 2 higher than that of the bulk. These data can be explained by the enhancement in electric field inside the clusters due to the dielectric confinement effect. The size and wavelength dependences of this local field effect have been calculated for CdS clusters. Several trends in the nonresonant χ(3) can be identified: (i) In the absence of quantum confinement effect, the magnitude of χ(3) should be constant in the < 200 Å size regime. It then increases with increasing particle size until the structural resonance regime is reached. (ii) The magnitude of χ(3) can be enhanced by either lowering the refractive index of the surrounding medium or raising the refractive index of the semiconductors. (iii) Quantum confinement, which shifts the band gap to the blue and lowers the refractive index of the semiconductor clusters, reduces the nonresonant χ(3). This is in direct contrast to the resonant nonlinearity which is enhanced by the quantum-confinement effect. Finally, we discuss the size-dependent figure-of-merit of CdS composites for all-optical switching.

The Stability

In this article, we analyse an integral equation of the second kind that represents the solution of N interacting dielectric spherical particles undergoing mutual polarisation. A traditional analysis can not quantify the scaling of the stability constants- and thus the approximation error- with respect to the number N of involved dielectric spheres. We develop a new a priori error analysis that demonstrates N-independent stability of the continuous and discrete formulations of the integral equation. Consequently, we obtain convergence rates that are independent of N.

Focusing Properties

In this paper the characteristics of acoustic field for miniature cylindrical focused transducer with a hole was studied in order to instruct the optimization design of the transducer for both realizing visualization and improving the treatment effect. Then the acoustic field was simulated numerically with different parameters of hole. It is found that position of focus is almost unchanged but acoustic pressure amplitude declines. In addition the performance of transverse focusing for the focal plane and levels length of acoustic pressure are lowered. Moreover, if size of transducer and rigidity of material permit, the area and ratio of width to height for the hole should be reduced appropriately to improve the focusing properties. And it is deduced that area and ratio of width to height for the cylinder can be increased to achieve the same therapeutic effect with a fixed hole size.

From the invention of the Optical Tweezer (OT) in 1986, these devices have been considered as high-level tools for research in the areas such as biology and microbiology. A theoretical study obtaining equations for gradient and scattering forces that exert an OT when the illumination beam is a doughnut-shaped mode TEM∗01 linearly polarized is realized. This work focuses on the behavior of radiation forces on a dielectric sphere in the Rayleigh regime. In order to facilitate the phenomenological analysis of the behavior of the radiation forces a graphical user interface is created.

AbstractThe influence of ice hydrometeor shape on the dual-wavelength ratio (DWR) of radar reflectivities at millimeter-wavelength frequencies is studied theoretically and on the basis of observations. Data from dual-frequency (Ka–W bands) radar show that, for vertically pointing measurements, DWR increasing trends with reflectivity Ze are very pronounced when Ka-band Ze is greater than about 0 dBZ and that DWR and Ze values are usually well correlated. This correlation is explained by strong relations between hydrometeor characteristic size and both of these radar variables. The observed DWR variability for a given level of reflectivity is as large as 8 dB, which is in part due to changes in mean hydrometeor shape as expressed in terms of the particle aspect ratio. Hydrometeors with a higher degree of nonsphericity exhibit lower DWR values when compared with quasi-spherical particles because of near-zenith reflectivity enhancements for particles outside the Rayleigh-scattering regime. When particle mass–size relations do not change significantly (e.g., for low-rime conditions), DWR can be used to differentiate between quasi-spherical and highly nonspherical hydrometeors because (for a given reflectivity value) DWR tends to increase as particles become more spherical. Another approach for differentiating among different degrees of nonsphericity for larger scatterers is based on analyzing DWR changes as a function of radar elevation angle. These changes are more pronounced for highly nonspherical particles and can exceed 10 dB. Measurements of snowfall spatiotemporally collocated with spaceborne CloudSat W-band radar and ground-based S-band operational weather radars also indicate that DWR values are generally smaller for ice hydrometeors with higher degrees of nonsphericity, which, for the same level of S-band reflectivity, exhibit greater differential reflectivity values.
