In this paper, the design of a compound diffractive telescope composed of one primary lens and twenty-one eyepieces is introduced. Then the influence of diffraction orders on the performance of the system is analysed. A modified phase function model of diffractive optics is proposed to analyse the modulation transfer function (MTF) curves for 0° FOV, which provides a more accurate prediction of the performance of the system. In addition, an optimized mechanism is also proposed to suppress stray light. The star image and resolution tests show that the system can achieve diffraction limit imaging within ±2° of FOV and 4-4 mm of eccentricity. Finally, a series of pictures of an object are taken from different channels, and the splicing of pictures from adjacent FOVs is demonstrated. In summary, the designed system has been proved to have great potential applications.展开更多

The design employed a diffractive optical element (DOE) to split and concentrate the sunlight. A rainbow region and a zero-order diffraction region were generated on the output plane where solar cells with corresponding band gaps were placed. An analytical expression of the light intensity distribution on the output plane of the special DOE was deduced, and the limiting photovoltaic efficiency of such parallel multijunction solar ceils was obtained based on Shockley-Queisser's theory. An efficiency exceeding the Shockley--Queisser limit (33%) can be expected using multijunction solar cells consisting of separately fabricated subcells. The results provide an important alternative approach to realize high photovoltaic efficiency without the need for expensive epitaxial technology widely used in tandem solar cells, thus stimulating the research and application of high efficiency and low cost solar cells.展开更多

The ptychographical iterative engine (PIE) is a CDI phase retrieval algorithm that uses multiple diffraction patterns obtained through the scan of a localized illumination on the specimen, which has been demonstrated successfully at optical and X-ray wavelengths. In this paper, a general PIE algorithm (gPIE) is presented and demonstrated with an He-Ne laser light diffraction dataset. This algorithm not only permits the removal of the accurate model of the illumination function in PIE, but also provides improved convergence speed and retrieval quality.展开更多

It is found that the description of the data is improved once the running coupling and gluon number fluctuations are included with x2/d.o.f. = 0.867, x2/d.o.f. = 0.923 and x2/d.o.f. = 0.878 for three different groups of experimental data. The values of diffusive coefficient subtracted from the fit are smaller than the ones obtained by considering only the gluon number fluctuations in our previous studies. The smaller values of the diffusive coefficient are in agreement with the theoretical predictions, where the gluon number fluctuations are suppressed by the running coupling which leads to smaller values of the diffusive coefficient.展开更多

By a formal analysis, it derives problems of profiles in the expansion of the pulse like solution with respect to the length s, and obtains that the leading profile satisfies a nonlinear Schrodinger type system. The problems of profiles are solved, and the formal expansion is justified. It is observed that there is interaction between two phases starting at the third order profiles.展开更多

With the SSBC DOEs, the sunlight radiation is divided into several wave bands so as to be effectively absorbed by photovoltaic materials with different band gaps. A new method is proposed for designing high-efficiency SSBC DOEs, which is physically simple, numerically fast, and universally applicable. The SSBC DOEs are designed by the new design method, and their performances are analyzed by the Fresnel diffraction integral method.The new design method takes two advantages over the previous design method. Firstly, the optical focusing efficiency is heightened by up to 10%. Secondly, focal positions of all the designed wavelengths can be designated arbitrarily and independently. It is believed that the designed SSBC DOEs should have practical applications to solar cell systems.展开更多

摘要The compound diffractive telescope is a novel space optical system which combines the structure of compound eyes with diffractive optics and so it has a lighter weight, a wider field of view (FOV), a lower cost as well as looser fabrication tolerance. In this paper, the design of a compound diffractive telescope composed of one primary lens and twenty-one eyepieces is introduced. Then the influence of diffraction orders on the performance of the system is analysed. A modified phase function model of diffractive optics is proposed to analyse the modulation transfer function (MTF) curves for 0° FOV, which provides a more accurate prediction of the performance of the system. In addition, an optimized mechanism is also proposed to suppress stray light. The star image and resolution tests show that the system can achieve diffraction limit imaging within ±2° of FOV and 4-4 mm of eccentricity. Finally, a series of pictures of an object are taken from different channels, and the splicing of pictures from adjacent FOVs is demonstrated. In summary, the designed system has been proved to have great potential applications.

摘要Based on the facts that multijunction solar cells can increase the efficiency and concentration can reduce the cost dramatically, a special design of parallel multijunction solar cells was presented. The design employed a diffractive optical element (DOE) to split and concentrate the sunlight. A rainbow region and a zero-order diffraction region were generated on the output plane where solar cells with corresponding band gaps were placed. An analytical expression of the light intensity distribution on the output plane of the special DOE was deduced, and the limiting photovoltaic efficiency of such parallel multijunction solar ceils was obtained based on Shockley-Queisser's theory. An efficiency exceeding the Shockley--Queisser limit (33%) can be expected using multijunction solar cells consisting of separately fabricated subcells. The results provide an important alternative approach to realize high photovoltaic efficiency without the need for expensive epitaxial technology widely used in tandem solar cells, thus stimulating the research and application of high efficiency and low cost solar cells.

摘要Two improved algorithms are proposed to extend a diffractive optical element (DOE) to work under the broad spec- trum of sunlight. An optimum design has been found for the DOE, with a weighted average optical efficiency of about 6.8% better than that of the previous design. The optimization of designing high optical efficiency DOEs will pave the way for future designs of high-efficiency, low-cost lateral multijunction solar cells based on such a DOE.

摘要Vector structured beams(VSBs)offer infinite eigenstates and open up new possibilities for highcapacity optical and quantum communications by the multiplexing of the states.Therefore,the sorting and measuring of VSBs are extremely important.However,the efficient manipulations of a large number of VSBs have simultaneously remained challenging up to now,especially in integrated optical systems.Here,we propose a compact spin-multiplexed diffractive metasurface capable of continuously sorting and detecting arbitrary VSBs through spatial intensity separation.By introducing a diffractive optical neural network with cascaded metasurface systems,we demonstrate arbitrary VSBs sorters that can simultaneously identify Laguerre–Gaussian modes(l=−4 to 4,p=1 to 4),Hermitian–Gaussian modes(m=1 to 4,n=1 to 3),and Bessel–Gaussian modes(l=1 to 12).Such a sorter for arbitrary VSBs could revolutionize applications in integrated and high-dimensional optical communication systems.

摘要Coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) is a lensless imaging technique and can achieve a resolution beyond the Rayleigh or Abbe limit. The ptychographical iterative engine (PIE) is a CDI phase retrieval algorithm that uses multiple diffraction patterns obtained through the scan of a localized illumination on the specimen, which has been demonstrated successfully at optical and X-ray wavelengths. In this paper, a general PIE algorithm (gPIE) is presented and demonstrated with an He-Ne laser light diffraction dataset. This algorithm not only permits the removal of the accurate model of the illumination function in PIE, but also provides improved convergence speed and retrieval quality.

摘要As a successful case of combining deep learning with photonics,the research on optical machine learning has recently undergone rapid development.Among various optical classification frameworks,diffractive networks have been shown to have unique advantages in all-optical reasoning.As an important property of light,the orbital angular momentum(OAM)of light shows orthogonality and mode-infinity,which can enhance the ability of parallel classification in information processing.However,there have been few all-optical diffractive networks under the OAM mode encoding.Here,we report a strategy of OAM-encoded diffractive deep neural network(OAM-encoded D2NN)that encodes the spatial information of objects into the OAM spectrum of the diffracted light to perform all-optical object classification.We demonstrated three different OAM-encoded D2NNs to realize(1)single detector OAM-encoded D2NN for single task classification,(2)single detector OAM-encoded D2NN for multitask classification,and(3)multidetector OAM-encoded D2NN for repeatable multitask classification.We provide a feasible way to improve the performance of all-optical object classification and open up promising research directions for D2NN by proposing OAMencoded D2NN.

摘要The ultimate goal of artificial intelligence(AI)is to mimic the human brain to perform decision-making and control directly from high-dimensional sensory input.Diffractive optical networks(DONs)provide a promising solution for implementing AI with high speed and low power-consumption.Most reported DONs focus on tasks that do not involve environmental interaction,such as object recognition and image classification.By contrast,the networks capable of decision-making and control have not been developed.Here,we propose using deep reinforcement learning to implement DONs that imitate human-level decisionmaking and control capability.Such networks,which take advantage of a residual architecture,allow finding optimal control policies through interaction with the environment and can be readily implemented with existing optical devices.The superior performance is verified using three types of classic games:tic-tac-toe,Super Mario Bros.,and Car Racing.Finally,we present an experimental demonstration of playing tic-tac-toe using the network based on a spatial light modulator.Our work represents a solid step forward in advancing DONs,which promises a fundamental shift from simple recognition or classification tasks to the high-level sensory capability of AI.It may find exciting applications in autonomous driving,intelligent robots,and intelligent manufacturing.

摘要Efficiently tracking and imaging interested moving targets is crucial across various applications,from autonomous systems to surveillance.However,persistent challenges remain in various fields,including environmental intricacies,limitations in perceptual technologies,and privacy considerations.We present a teacher-student learning model,the generative adversarial network(GAN)-guided diffractive neural network(DNN),which performs visual tracking and imaging of the interested moving target.The GAN,as a teacher model,empowers efficient acquisition of the skill to differentiate the specific target of interest in the domains of visual tracking and imaging.The DNN-based student model learns to master the skill to differentiate the interested target from the GAN.The process of obtaining a GAN-guided DNN starts with capturing moving objects effectively using an event camera with high temporal resolution and low latency.Then,the generative power of GAN is utilized to generate data with position-tracking capability for the interested moving target,subsequently serving as labels to the training of the DNN.The DNN learns to image the target during training while retaining the target’s positional information.Our experimental demonstration highlights the efficacy of the GAN-guided DNN in visual tracking and imaging of the interested moving target.We expect the GAN-guided DNN can significantly enhance autonomous systems and surveillance.

摘要We study the effects of running coupling and gluon number fluctuations in the latest diffractive deep inelastic scattering data. It is found that the description of the data is improved once the running coupling and gluon number fluctuations are included with x2/d.o.f. = 0.867, x2/d.o.f. = 0.923 and x2/d.o.f. = 0.878 for three different groups of experimental data. The values of diffusive coefficient subtracted from the fit are smaller than the ones obtained by considering only the gluon number fluctuations in our previous studies. The smaller values of the diffusive coefficient are in agreement with the theoretical predictions, where the gluon number fluctuations are suppressed by the running coupling which leads to smaller values of the diffusive coefficient.

摘要This paper studies the asymptotic behavior of the diffractive interaction of pulses with two linear phases of length ε ≤ 1 in 2 × 2 semilinear strictly hyperbolic system with constant coefficiients. By a formal analysis, it derives problems of profiles in the expansion of the pulse like solution with respect to the length s, and obtains that the leading profile satisfies a nonlinear Schrodinger type system. The problems of profiles are solved, and the formal expansion is justified. It is observed that there is interaction between two phases starting at the third order profiles.

摘要Diffractive optical elements(DOEs) with spectrum separation and beam concentration(SSBC) functions have important applications in solar cell systems. With the SSBC DOEs, the sunlight radiation is divided into several wave bands so as to be effectively absorbed by photovoltaic materials with different band gaps. A new method is proposed for designing high-efficiency SSBC DOEs, which is physically simple, numerically fast, and universally applicable. The SSBC DOEs are designed by the new design method, and their performances are analyzed by the Fresnel diffraction integral method.The new design method takes two advantages over the previous design method. Firstly, the optical focusing efficiency is heightened by up to 10%. Secondly, focal positions of all the designed wavelengths can be designated arbitrarily and independently. It is believed that the designed SSBC DOEs should have practical applications to solar cell systems.
