Abstract
Goos-Hänchen (GH) effect during reflection at a graphene-BK7 optical planar interface provides us with some Optical differentiation operations, which are the core principle of image edge detection. Here, a mechanism to realize tunable optical differential operation based on temperature-dependent Goos-Hänchen effect enabling edge imaging with tunable contrast is proposed. Notably, modulating the electrical conductivity of graphene and the refractive index of the BK7 substrate could be achieved by varying temperature, which induces dynamic control of GH shift. In addition, we construct a spatial spectral transfer function actively controlled by changing temperature to attain optical differential operation. The slope of the spatial transfer function is larger with the rise of temperature, which results in a higher contrast of the edge imaging. We believe that our scheme may show broad prospects for practical applications in microscopic imaging and intelligent driving.
期刊介绍:
Optics Communications invites original and timely contributions containing new results in various fields of optics and photonics. The journal considers theoretical and experimental research in areas ranging from the fundamental properties of light to technological applications. Topics covered include classical and quantum optics, optical physics and light-matter interactions, lasers, imaging, guided-wave optics and optical information processing. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers concentrating on mathematical and computational issues, with limited connection to optics, are not suitable for publication in the Journal. Similarly, small technical advances, or papers concerned only with engineering applications or issues of materials science fall outside the journal scope.
