For vertical links, the formulation of the on-axis scintillation index of laser beams is derived analytically and evaluated for plane, collimated Gaussian and spherical beams in specific mediums, including the Atlantic Ocean at mid and low latitudes associating temperature and salinity changes at low latitudes, at mid latitude-summer and at mid latitude-winter. Using the scintillation index, bit error rate (BER) performance of M-pulse position modulation is investigated for these types of laser beams. The variations of the scintillation index against the uplink/downlink propagation distances, source size and zenith angle are examined, and BER variations versus the Kolmogorov microscale and the symbol orders, and results are compared. It is noted that the behavior of the scintillation index that depends on the relative strength of temperature and salinity fluctuations which changes in depth, is different for uplink/downlink and for each latitude due to its distinct characteristics. The source size that minimizes the scintillation index values is in the range of about 0.1 cm–0.2 cm for all latitudes.","PeriodicalId":16775,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optics","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142181018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The total optothermal force exerted on liposomes causes them to migrate rapidly toward the laser focus with a high average migration velocity of 1.77 µm s−1 under 7.3% w/v polyethylene glycol (PEG) concentration and low trapping laser power of 1 mW. A high normalized experimental trap stiffness of 0.88 (pN µm) mW−1 was obtained at 7.3% w/v PEG/water solution.

The statistics of the Lyapunov exponent (LE) reveal distinct behaviors of localization effects for band-edge and band-gap modes as function of disorder strength. In particular, a deviation from the single parameter scaling theory (SPST) of localization was observed within a frequency window corresponding to the band-gap of an ordered Fibonacci multilayer. Different band-gaps show different SPST dynamics. To provide a physical explanation for the violation of SPST, a close correlation between the frequency distribution of the resonant modes in the band-gap and the variance of the LE has been found. The spatial distribution of resonant modes has been reported and discussed.

The mixture, consisting of spherical nanoparticles (SNPs) and cylindrical nanoparticles (CNPs), is placed in a host medium under the influence of an externally applied static magnetic field. The two co-propagating laser beams impart a nonlinear ponderomotive force on the electrons of the NPs, causing them to experience nonlinear oscillatory velocity. Furthermore, the consequent nonlinear current density excites THz radiation at the beat frequency . Magnetic fields influence the surface plasmon resonance condition associated with electrons of the nanoparticles due to enhancement in ponderomotive nonlinearities, thereby causing an increment in the amplitude of the generated THz field. It is observed that the generated THz radiation has a strong dependence on the shape and size of the NPs in addition to the magnetic field strength. CNPSs provide greater THz amplitude than SNPs due to additional resonance modes, and combining both kinds of nanostructures further enhances the amplitude. THz radiation plays an important role in biomedical and pharmaceutical fields, communications, security and THz spectroscopy.","PeriodicalId":16775,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optics","volume":"141 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141969165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents an online nonlinearity elimination method based on slope intensity coding. Two sequences of sinusoidal phase-shifting fringe patterns with different frequencies, and one slope intensity pattern with one uniform intensity pattern are projected. The equations for the nonlinearity response are established using the defined mean and modulation parameters, the captured uniform intensity and two extracted background intensities. The nonlinearity response coefficients determined by solving the equations are used for pixel-wise nonlinearity correction on the captured images, which are employed for computing the wrapped phase, and further obtaining continuous phase by the multi-frequency phase unwrapping method. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can eliminate the nonlinearity-induced phase error online by using fewer images and maintain the reliability of phase unwrapping in the measurement of isolated objects with complex surfaces.","PeriodicalId":16775,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optics","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141862805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
