RESUMO
Optical metasurfaces are researched more and more intensively for the possible realization of lightweight and compact optical devices with novel functionalities. In this paper, a new beam-steering system based on double metasurface lenses (metalenses) is proposed and developed. The proposed system is lightweight, small volume, low cost, and easy to integrate. The exact close-form forward and numerical inverse solutions are derived respectively using the generalized Snell's law of refraction. Given the orientations of the double metalenses, the pointing position can be accurately determined. If the desired pointing position is given, the required metalenses' orientations can be obtained by applied global optimization algorithms to solve nonlinear equations related to the inverse problem. The relationships of the scan region and blind zone with the system parameters are derived. The method to eliminate the blind zone is given. Comparison with double Risley-prism systems is also conducted. This work provides a new approach to control light beams.
RESUMO
Counting the number of people and estimating their walking speeds are essential in crowd control and flow. In this work, we propose a system that uses prevalent Wi-Fi signals to identify the number of people entering and leaving a room through a door. It selects the best subcarrier of Wi-Fi signals and applies the Hampel filter to remove outlier information first. Then, it employs a double threshold method to determine the start and end times of entering or leaving. Afterward, it compares the detected signals with the precollected database using the dynamic time-warping algorithm and determines the number of people. It uses a variance threshold method to identify the states of entering or leaving. It also employs a nonlinear fitting approach to calculate the walking speeds. The experiments show that, in a large empty laboratory, the accuracy rates in determining the number of people are 100% for one person, 81% for two persons, and 95% for three persons. In a small office, the accuracy rates for detecting the number of people are 98% for one or two persons, 82% for three persons, 93% for four, and 75% for five persons. For the walking speed estimation, the accuracy rate for a speed error of less than 0.2410 m/s is 75% for a single person.
RESUMO
We introduce a new class of Schell-model temporal sources that admit a closed-form analytical decomposition in terms of coherent pseudo-modes. We explore the source mode and the corresponding eigenvalue structure and demonstrate that the lowest-order mode profile reflects the distribution of the source intensity as a function of time. We also examine the global degree of coherence of the class and show that it is virtually independent of the pulse intensity profile particulars at the source.
RESUMO
We describe the anomalous behavior of the spectral degree of coherence as a function of light frequency in the vicinity of phase singularities of partially spatially coherent, polychromatic wave fields. We distinguish the discovered spectral coherence anomalies from conventional spectral anomalies realized with fully spatially coherent optical fields. We also demonstrate how the previously reported spectral anomalies can be engineered in partially spatially coherent fields.
RESUMO
We theoretically explore the spectral behavior of the fundamental and sum-frequency waves generated from the surface of a thin metal film in the Kretschmann configuration with coherent ultrashort pulses. We show that the spectra of reflected sum-frequency waves exhibit pronounced shifts for the incident fundamental waves close to the plasmon coupling angle. We also demonstrate that the scale of discovered plasmon-enhanced spectral changes is strongly influenced by the magnitude of the incidence angle and the bandwidth of the source spectrum.
