Multifrequency Magneto-optic Bragg Diffraction and Radio Frequency Signal Parallel Processing

Magneto-optic(MO)coupling of guided optical waves with microwave magnetostatic waves(MSWs)simultaneously excited by multiple radio frequency(RF)signals can lead to multifrequency diffraction effects and then parallel processing of RF signals can be realized by using of the characteristics that diffraction efficiencies(DEs)are approximately in direct proportion to RF signals intensities and diffraction angles are related to frequencies of the corresponding RF signals within linear MO interaction region.In this paper,studied is the multifrequency MO Bragg diffraction in first-order MO interaction approximation,and obtained was the approximate analytical expression for principle diffraction efficiency(PDE).Also,put forward was a parallel imaging method of relative intensity of RF signals based on single-frequency diffraction.By calculation and analysis,it is shown that the relative error is not more than 0.3dB for the case of three RF signals within the frequency space of 60MHz.

BRIGHT:the three-dimensional X-ray crystal Bragg diffraction code

In pursuit of a fully coherent X-ray free-electron laser(FEL), highly reflective Bragg crystals are used and will be used as a highly selective spectral filter in hard X-ray self-seeding FELs and X-ray FEL oscillators(XFELO), respectively. However, currently, when simulating self-seeding and XFELO, the three-dimensional effect of Bragg diffraction is not fully considered. In this paper, we derive a comprehensive solution for the response function of the crystal in Bragg diffraction. A three-dimensional X-ray crystal Bragg diffraction code, named BRIGHT, is introduced, which can be combined with other FEL-related codes, e.g., GENESIS and OPC. Performance and feasibility are assessed using two numerical examples,namely a self-seeding experiment for the linac coherent light source and XFELO options for Shanghai high repetition rate XFEL. The results indicate that BRIGHT provides a new and useful tool for three-dimensional modeling of FEL.

Microstructures and micromechanical behaviors of high -entropy alloys investigated by synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction techniques: A review

High-entropy alloys(HEAs)possess outstanding features such as corrosion resistance,irradiation resistance,and good mechan-ical properties.A few HEAs have found applications in the fields of aerospace and defense.Extensive studies on the deformation mech-anisms of HEAs can guide microstructure control and toughness design,which is vital for understanding and studying state-of-the-art structural materials.Synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction are necessary techniques for materials science research,especially for in situ coupling of physical/chemical fields and for resolving macro/microcrystallographic information on materials.Recently,several re-searchers have applied synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction methods to study the deformation mechanisms,phase transformations,stress behaviors,and in situ processes of HEAs,such as variable-temperature,high-pressure,and hydrogenation processes.In this review,the principles and development of synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction are presented,and their applications in the deformation mechanisms of HEAs are discussed.The factors that influence the deformation mechanisms of HEAs are also outlined.This review fo-cuses on the microstructures and micromechanical behaviors during tension/compression or creep/fatigue deformation and the application of synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction methods to the characterization of dislocations,stacking faults,twins,phases,and intergrain/interphase stress changes.Perspectives on future developments of synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction and on research directions on the deformation mechanisms of novel metals are discussed.

Bragg-Angle Diffraction in Slant Gratings Fabricated by Single-Beam Interference Lithography

A single-beam interference-lithography scheme is demonstrated for the fabrication of large-area slant gratings, which requires exposure of the photoresist thin film spin-coated on a glass plate with polished side-walls to a single laser beam in the ultraviolet and requires small coherence length of the laser. No additional beam splitting scheme and no adjustments for laser-beam overlapping and for optical path-length balancing are needed. Bragg-angle diffractions are observed as strong optical extinction that is tunable with changing the angle of incidence. This device is important for the design of efficient filters, beam splitters, and photonic devices.

Metasurface-driven dots projection based on generalized Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction theory

The diffractive optical element(DOE)is an important component of three-dimensional(3D)imaging systems based on structured light.In this work,we designed the metasurface-driven DOEs based on generalized Rayleigh–Sommerfeld diffraction theory to project large field of view(FOV)pseudo-random dot array for 3D imaging.We measured an efficiency of 61.04%and root-mean-square error(RMSE)of 0.45 for the 60°FOV sample and an efficiency of 42.96%and RMSE of 0.75 for the 144°FOV sample.Because the pattern is designed based on the generalized Rayleigh–Sommerfeld diffraction theory,the projected pattern is similar to the target pattern and has even intensity.

Direct visualization of laser-driven dynamic fragmentation in tin by in situ x-ray diffraction

We present a novel method for investigating laser-driven dynamic fragmentation in tin using in situ X-ray diffraction.Our experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the method for simultaneously identifying the phase and temperature of fragments through analysis of the diffraction pattern.Surprisingly,we observe a deviation from the widely accepted isentropic release assumption,with the temperature of the fragments being found to be more than 100 K higher than expected,owing to the release of plastic work during dynamic fragmentation.Our findings are further verified through extensive large-scale molecular dynamics simulations,in which strain energies are found to be transferred into thermal energies during the nucleation and growth of voids,leading to an increase in temperature.Our findings thus provide crucial insights into the impact-driven dynamic fragmentation phenomenon and reveal the significant influence of plastic work on material response during shock release.

Intensity correlation properties of x-ray beams split with Laue diffraction

Beam splitting is one of the main approaches to achieving x-ray ghost imaging, and the intensity correlation between diffraction beam and transmission beam will directly affect the imaging quality. In this paper, we investigate the intensity correlation between the split x-ray beams by Laue diffraction of stress-free crystal. The analysis based on the dynamical theory of x-ray diffraction indicates that the spatial resolution of diffraction image and transmission image are reduced due to the position shift of the exit beam. In the experimental setup, a stress-free crystal with a thickness of hundredmicrometers-level is used for beam splitting. The crystal is in a non-dispersive configuration equipped with a double-crystal monochromator to ensure that the dimension of the diffraction beam and transmission beam are consistent. A correlation coefficient of 0.92 is achieved experimentally and the high signal-to-noise ratio of the x-ray ghost imaging is anticipated.Results of this paper demonstrate that the developed beam splitter of Laue crystal has the potential in the efficient data acquisition of x-ray ghost imaging.

Dispersion Relations in Diffraction in Time

In agreement with Titchmarsh’s theorem, we prove that dispersion relations are just the Fourier-transform of the identity, g(x′)=±Sgn(x′)g(x′), which defines the property of being a truncated functions at the origin. On the other hand, we prove that the wave-function of a generalized diffraction in time problem is just the Fourier-transform of a truncated function. Consequently, the existence of dispersion relations for the diffraction in time wave-function follows. We derive these explicit dispersion relations.

BL02U2 of the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility is a surface diffraction beamline with a photon flux of 5.5×10^(12) photons/s at 10 keV and a beam size of 160µm×80µm at the sample site.It is dedicated to studying surfaces(solid-vacuum,solid-gas)and interfaces(solid-solid,solid-liquid,and liquid-liquid)in nanoscience,condensed matter,and soft matter systems using various surface scattering techniques over an energy range of 4.8-28 keV with transmission and reflection modes.Moreover,BL02U2 has a high energy resolution,high angular resolution,and low beam divergence,which can provide excellent properties for X-ray diffraction experiments,such as grazing incident X-ray diffraction,X-ray reflectivity,crystal truncation rods,and liquid X-ray scattering.Diversity of in situ environments can also be provided for the samples studied.This paper describes the setup of the new beamline and its applications in various fields.

Analytical Method for the Wave Diffraction of Asymmetrically Arranged Breakwaters

The layout forms of several breakwater structures can be generalized as asymmetrical arrangements in actual engineering.However,the problem of wave diffraction around asymmetrically arranged breakwaters has not been adequately investigated.In this study,we propose an analytical method of wave diffraction for regular waves passing through asymmetrically arranged breakwaters,and we use the Nyström method to obtain the analytical solution numerically.We compared the results of this method with those of previous analytical solutions and with numerical results to demonstrate the validity of our approach.We also provided diffraction coefficient diagrams of breakwaters with different layout forms.Moreover,we described the analytical expression for the problem of diffraction through long-wave incident breakwaters and presented an analysis of the relationship between the diffraction coefficients and the widths of breakwater gates.The analytical method presented in this study contributes to the limited literature on the theory of wave diffraction through asymmetrically arranged breakwaters.

Neutron Back-and Front-Face Bragg Diffraction on a Thin Si Single Crystal Excited by Ultrasound

In this research project, we measured and analyzed the spatial distribution of neutron beam Bragg diffracted from the front- and back-faces of thin Si single crystal undergoing on ultrasound excitation. For the perfect crystal, it is shown that when the acoustic wave amplitude is increased, the front-face peak position remains unchanged and its value grows linearly. The values of ultrasound wave amplitude were determined. The back-face peak becomes asymmetric and tends to disappear. New types of Pendellosung fringes in the center of the diffraction profiles were observed at the first time. It is supposed that in the perfect crystal this effect may be due to the appearance of the new “sonic” extinction length, depending on the amplitude of the ultrasonic wave. Thus, it leads to the new interference interactions between neutron wave and ultrasonic phonons. It is established that within the framework of the dynamical theory of the neutron scattering, some asymptotic models valid for the case of Laue geometry as well as Kato’s quasi-classical approximation can be applied in the case of Bragg geometry also. Good agreement between experimental data and the theory has been obtained.

A novel self-alignment method for high precision silicon diffraction microlens arrays preparation and its integration with infrared focal plane arrays

Silicon(Si)diffraction microlens arrays are usually used to integrating with infrared focal plane arrays(IRFPAs)to improve their performance.The errors of lithography are unavoidable in the process of the Si diffrac-tion microlens arrays preparation in the conventional engraving method.It has a serious impact on its performance and subsequent applications.In response to the problem of errors of Si diffraction microlens arrays in the conven-tional method,a novel self-alignment method for high precision Si diffraction microlens arrays preparation is pro-posed.The accuracy of the Si diffractive microlens arrays preparation is determined by the accuracy of the first li-thography mask in the novel self-alignment method.In the subsequent etching,the etched area will be protected by the mask layer and the sacrifice layer or the protective layer.The unprotection area is carved to effectively block the non-etching areas,accurately etch the etching area required,and solve the problem of errors.The high precision Si diffraction microlens arrays are obtained by the novel self-alignment method and the diffraction effi-ciency could reach 92.6%.After integrating with IRFPAs,the average blackbody responsity increased by 8.3%,and the average blackbody detectivity increased by 10.3%.It indicates that the Si diffraction microlens arrays can improve the filling factor and reduce crosstalk of IRFPAs through convergence,thereby improving the perfor-mance of the IRFPAs.The results are of great reference significance for improving their performance through opti-mizing the preparation level of micro nano devices.
