Predicting the effects of polychromatic light on biological systems is a central goal of environmental photobiology. If the dose-response function for a process is a linear function of the light incident on a system at each wavelength within the spectrum, the effect of a polychromatic spectrum is obtained by integrating the product of the cross section for the reaction at each wavelength and the spectral irradiance at that wavelength over both wavelength and time. This procedure cannot be used, however, if the dose-response functions for an effect are not linear functions of photon dose. Although many photochemical reactions are linear within the biologically relevant range of doses, many biological end points are not. I describe procedures for calculating the effects of polychromatic irradiations on systems that exhibit certain classes of dose-response functions, including power law responses typical of mutation induction and exponential dose-responses typical of cell survival. I also present an approach to predict the effects of polychromatic spectra on systems in which the ultraviolet components form pyrimidine dimers, and the longer-wavelength ultraviolet and visible components remove them by photoreactivation, thus generating complex dose-response functions for these coupled light-driven reactions.
Art Nouveau was also in fashion during the 1900s all over the Western world. However, it fragmented by 1911 and from then it steadily faded, until it disappeared with WW1. Some regular Art Nouveau buildings have their facades decorated with colourful glazed ceramic ornaments. The colours used are often more earthy and faded compared to the intense ones used by Neoclassicism. Compared to other movements in design and architecture, Art Nouveau was one with different versions in multiple countries. The Belgian and French form is characterized by organic shapes, ornaments taken from the plant world, sinuous lines, asymmetry (especially when it comes to objects design), the whiplash motif, the femme fatale, and other elements of nature. In Austria, Germany and the UK, it took a more stylized geometric form, as a form of protest towards revivalism and eclecticism. The geometric ornaments found in Gustav Klimt's paintings and in the furniture of Koloman Moser are representative of the Vienna Secession (Austrian Art Nouveau). In some countries, artists found inspiration in national tradition and folklore. In the UK for example, multiple silversmiths used interlaces taken from Celtic art. Similarly, Hungarian, Russian, and Ukrainian architects used polychromatic folkloric motifs on their buildings, usually through colourful ceramic ornaments.
The term polychromatic means having several colors. It is used to describe light that exhibits more than one color, which also means that it contains radiation of more than one wavelength. The study of polychromatics is particularly useful in the production of diffraction gratings.
Illustrative comparison between the monochromatic and polychromatic dynamics of different atoms within a cloud, and the resulting cloud-average. This drawing is based on simulation results obtained with a polychromatic comb of type C [see Fig. 2] with \(\alpha =0.9\); the representation of the spectra above is purely illustrative though
While we have focused here on comb tailoring in frequency and amplitude, we expect that combining this with comb shaping in phase could allow even greater tailoring options and benefits, which is left for future studies. In particular, while we have focused here on demonstrating improvements on the interferometer visibility, polychromatic pulse shaping in phase could lead to a better control of the interferometer phase. Moreover, the ideas presented here could be extended in the future to arbitrary spectra, such as continuous ones, potentially leading to new findings in the field of pulse frequency spectrum optimization.
In this section, we review the properties and give some insight into the dynamics of a single atom subjected to the polychromatic comb models considered in this work. The single-atom dynamics is numerically obtained by solving Eq. (2) [Eq. (1) in the absence of decoherence sources] with some given initial condition. For simplicity, we assume here that the atom is initially in the ground state (\(\rho _gg(0)=c_g(0)^2=1\)) and we are interested in the excited-state probability (\(P_e(t)=c_e^2= \rho _ee\)) as a function of time. Note that in the specific case of a non-detuned (\(\Delta =0\)) atom in the absence of decoherence, the problem becomes fully solvable analytically [41] and we find \(P_e(t)=\sin ^2 \mathcalA(t)/2\) with
Excited-state probability of a single atom initially prepared in the ground-state and subjected to a polychromatic field with (comb A, left) and without (comb B, right) a resonant component, for different values of the comb aspect ratio ϵ. For combs B, the dynamics display a periodicity of \(2\pi /\delta \omega =2\pi /\epsilon \Omega _1\); for combs A, such segments of length \(2\pi /\delta \omega \) do not repeat periodically and it is only if the comb spacing and the resonant component are commensurate, \(\epsilon \equiv \delta \omega /\Omega _0=p/q\) that a global periodicity is restored after \(2\pi p/\delta \omega =2\pi q/\Omega _0\)
We consider here the two LMT schemes (resp. polychromatic and monochromatic) depicted on Fig. 5 as well as the monochromatic symmetric scheme depicted on Fig. 10 and assume the following commonly-used parameters: \(T=3\mu \mathrmK\), \(\sigma _\mathrmpos=160\mu \mathrmm\), \(\sigma _\mathrmbeam=0.75\mathrmmm\), \(P=40\mathrmmW\) (which correspond to \(\tau _\pi^\mathrmmono=161\mathrmns\)). We assume the polychromatic field to be of type (B) with 10 pairs of peaks (yielding \(\tau _\pi^\mathrmpoly=720\mathrmns\)). Figure 9 compares the interferometer visibility of these three LMT sequences as a function of LMT order. It is defined here as the product of the individual efficiencies of all the pulses involved in the sequence, taking into account cloud averaging and decoherence mechanisms described previously as well as cloud expansion along the sequence. We have checked on shorter pulse sequences that compared to an exact simulation of the full interferometric sequence, this common approximation of multiplying individual pulse efficiencies yields very similar results at reduced computational cost, with a tendency to only slightly underestimate the overall interferometer visibility. No Doppler-shift compensation is required here due to the large polychromatic pulse bandwidth (\(\approx 90\mathrmMHz\)) which corresponds to \(\approx 3000\,\hbar k\).Footnote 9 We assume here no time delay between pulses. Possible light shift effects are expected to be comparable to the monochromatic case as the light shift experienced by a given atom is dominated by the closest-resonant peak(s); details of these may result in additional tailoring of the field, which will be the object of follow-up studies. We find that the overall interferometer visibility drops to 2% after \(64\,\hbar k\) in the simple monochromatic case and \(151\,\hbar k\) in the monochromatic symmetric configuration, versus \(850\,\hbar k\) in the polychromatic case.
While the MTF at each individual wavelength in your system may be good, if the system has some chromatic aberration then this means that the individual wavelengths are offset from each other. Therefore, when the results of the individual wavelengths are combined you will get a reduced value of the polychromatic MTF.
Let's say, for example, that you have excellent monochromatic modulation, say 90% at each of three wavelengths individually. But if you have lateral color, the peaks and valleys of each wavelength are offset from each other. The polychromatic intensity modulation gets reduced since it never goes as low as the individual monochromatic intensities do. So you may get a much lower modulation, like 40% polychromatically.
@Haokun.Ye For the on-axis case, the polychromatic MTF in OpticStudio is just the average of the individual MTF functions for the separate system wavelengths. Below is a two-wavelength example (from my grating example model in which I simply selected the Diffraction Order = 0). I first computed the two individual MTF functions and imported the data to Matlab, then plotted them along with the average. Lastly, I directly computed the polychromatic MTF in OpticStudio (by selecting Wavelength = All), imported the data and added it to the plot. You can see the average value version overlays exactly with the polychromatic version.
@Haokun.Ye Okay, your example helps me understand your question better. Remember that the polychromatic system OTF is the normalized Fourier transform of the sum of the intensity point spread functions (one intensity PSF per system wavelength). Therefore, the system OTF is a complex quantity. The system MTF is the magnitude of the OTF. When computing a weighted average of the individual OTF functions, the phase must be taken into account (i.e., at each spatial frequency we should average the corresponding complex numbers for the individual OTFs). For a real lens system with aberrations, the individual OTFs will have phase values that vary as a function of spatial frequency. Here is an example using the Cooke Triplet 40-deg. model that comes with OpticStudio.
