Stationkeeping Using Optical Ranging of Natural Features
A special challenge in near bottom operation of an undersea mobile robot is obtaining accurate information concerning deviations from a defined position despite the lack of a structured environment. The availability of gyro-compasses and slaved vertical gyros make the sensing of rotational motions relatively straightforward. Accuracies of ± 0. 5 degree are not difficult to achieve in roll, pitc...
متن کاملGiant enhanced diffusion of gold nanoparticles in optical vortex fields.
We study the diffusion of a metal nanoparticle in the nonconservative force field of an optical vortex lattice. Radiation pressure in the vortex array is shown to induce a giant enhancement over the free thermal diffusion. Langevin dynamics simulations show that the diffusion coefficient of (50 nm radius) gold particles at room temperature is enhanced by 2 orders of magnitude at power densities...
متن کاملBirth and evolution of an optical vortex.
When a phase singularity is suddenly imprinted on the axis of an ordinary Gaussian beam, an optical vortex appears and starts to grow radially, by effect of diffraction. This radial growth and the subsequent evolution of the optical vortex under focusing or imaging can be well described in general within the recently introduced theory of circular beams, which generalize the hypergeometric-Gauss...
متن کاملAstronomical demonstration of an optical vortex coronagraph.
Using an optical vortex coronagraph and simple adaptive optics techniques, we have made the first convincing demonstration of an optical vortex coronagraph that is coupled to a star gazing telescope. We suppressed by 97% the primary star of a resolvable binary system, Cor Caroli. The stars had an angular separation of 1.9lambda/D at our imaging camera. The secondary star suffered no suppression...
متن کاملSimulation of an Airy Beam with Optical Vortex under Fractional Fourier Transforms
First, this study obtained the fields of an Airy beam (AiB) with optical vortex (OV) for a Fourier transform (FT) system and a fractional Fourier transform (fractional FT) system; thereafter, their intensity and phase patterns were simulated numerically. The splitting on each line of the phase pattern indicates the position of an OV. The results show that the OV position will change when the po...
