The Ideal

Two main problems in high resolution electron microscopy are first, the existence of gaps in the transfer function, and then the difficulty to find complex amplitude of the diffracted wawe from registered intensity. The solution of this second problem is in most cases only intended by the realization of several micrographs in different conditions (defocusing distance, illuminating angle, complementary objective apertures…) which can lead to severe problems of contamination or radiation damage for certain specimens.Fraunhofer holography can in principle solve both problems stated above (1,2). The microscope objective is strongly defocused (far-field region) so that the two diffracted beams do not interfere. The ideal transfer function after reconstruction is then unity and the twin image do not overlap on the reconstructed one.We show some applications of the method and results of preliminary tests.Possible application to the study of cavitiesSmall voids (or gas-filled bubbles) created by irradiation in crystalline materials can be observed near the Scherzer focus, but it is then difficult to extract other informations than the approximated size.

AbstractIn this paper, we report the experimental and numerical investigation of plane wave diffraction by an all-dielectric dual-material cuboid. Edge diffraction by a cuboid leads to the generation of a narrow, high intensity beam in the near-field region called a photonic jet. We examine the dependence of the jet behavior and orientation on the materials and dimensions of constitutive parts in the microwave frequency domain. The possibility to shift and deviate the resultant microwave jet in the near-field region of such a structure depending on the size of constitutive parts is demonstrated numerically. Experimentally, we observe a shift in the spatial position of the jet. The experimental asymmetric electric field profile observed in the far-field region is attributed to the input of multiple edge waves generated by the dual-material cuboid. The presented results may be scaled at different frequency bands such as optical frequencies for designing nanostructures enabling the focusing and deviation functionality and creation of new optical devices which would satisfy the needs of emerging nanophotonic applications.

This paper investigates an isothermal free water jet discharging horizontally from a circular nozzle (9mm) into a stationary body of water. The jet exit velocity was 2.5m∕s and the exit Reynolds number was 22,500. The large-scale structures in the far field were investigated by performing a proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) analysis of the velocity field obtained using a particle image velocimetry system. The number of modes used for the POD reconstruction of the velocity fields was selected to recover 40% of the turbulent kinetic energy. A vortex identification algorithm was then employed to quantify the size, circulation, and direction of rotation of the exposed vortices. A statistical analysis of the distribution of number, size, and strength of the identified vortices was carried out to explore the characteristics of the coherent structures. The results clearly reveal that a substantial number of vortical structures of both rotational directions exist in the far-field region of the jet. The number of vortices decreases in the axial direction, while their size increases. The mean circulation magnitude is preserved in the axial direction. The results also indicate that the circulation magnitude is directly proportional to the square of the vortex radius and the constant of proportionality is a function of the axial location.

Phase Distortions

The investigations of the influence of various types of wavefront distortions, varying in time, on the intensity distribution on the surface of a target are carried out. It is shown that distortions of a wavefront, equivalent to transverse displacement in time of a beam in far field at an angle of approximately 10 diffraction angles, results in practically full smoothing of a specl-structure of intensity distribution. Creation of phase distortions of a beam assigned as running in a cross section wave with an amplitude of more than 3 radian and with a spatial size exceeding 20–30 times the size of the kinoform phase plate element, permits us to reduce the depth of modulation in distribution of intensity in far field also. The capability of application is considered as a smoothing device of the dynamic plasma layer, based on the volume-structured medium. The model of energy transport process in such media is developed. Matching of calculation and experimental results is conducted.

The combination in an optical scheme of rather different elements such as axicons and spherical lenses allows forming light fields that differ by a variety of properties. The simplest example of such a scheme consists of an axicon and a spherical lens spatially separated from it. Though this scheme was investigated earlier, the region of so-called secondary focusing located behind the well-known annular focus has not been studied yet. In this paper, the analytical and numerical analysis of a light field in the region of secondary focusing is conducted. The boundaries of this region are determined, and the longitudinal and transverse distribution of the light intensity is calculated. It is shown that the near field region of secondary focusing is formed in the regime of abrupt autofocusing of the annular field. It is established that in a general case the transverse intensity distribution in the far field region is a superposition of an annular field and an oscillating axialtype field. The distance between the axicon and the lens is determined when the annular component of the field practically disappears. It is shown that in this case the light field in the region of the secondary focusing is a locally Bessel light beam. The peculiarity of this beam is that its cone angle depends on the longitudinal component, namely, decreases in inverse proportion while the distance z increases. The important feature of such z-dependent Bessel beams is the absence of their transformation into annular fields, as it occurs for ordinary Bessel or Bessel-Gaussian beams in the far field region. This opens the prospect for application of z-dependent Bessel beams for optical communication in free space and remote probing, which is why such beams are perspective for application in different systems of remote probing.
