As the most representative directed energy carrier, the laser can be utilized for high-power and long-distance wireless power transmission. Conventionally, the wireless laser power transmission requires complex and expansive acquisition, tracking and pointing (ATP) system to deliver the laser to the receiver. Recently, there emerges the novel resonant laser power transmission technology. With the laser resonating between the power transmitter and the receiver, the beam is directed to the receivers automatically, without the necessity of the ATP system. The strengths and the weaknesses of the two different technologies are analyzed and compared, and the development is prospected. The development of alignment-free laser, which is the essential of the resonant beam wireless laser power transmission approach, is also summarized.

    Mid infrared supercontinuum light source has the characteristics of ultra-wide spectrum, high coherence and high brightness, which is widely used in many fields. However, in the process of supercontinuum generation, modulation instability causes the transfer of energy between different fundamental solitons to form optical rogue waves. It is a low probability event with ultra-high intensity, great red shift and produced at the wavelength of supercontinuum spectrum. Its generation seriously affects the performance of supercontinuum spectrum. Therefore, the research on optical rogue wave control has become a hot topic. Because the dispersion oscillating fiber has flexible and adjustable dispersion and nonlinearity, which can effectively control the generation of optical rogue wave. Therefore, the effect of dispersion oscillating fiber on optical rogue wave in mid infrared supercontinuum spectrum is mainly studied.

    In this work, fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are inscribed in seven-core fiber (SCF) based on phase mask technology. The temperature sensing characteristics of seven-core fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) at room temperature and low temperature are studied by experiments. The results show that the sensor has a temperature sensitivity of 9.98 pm/℃ and a linearity of 0.999 44 in the normal temperature range of 30 ℃~80 ℃. In the low temperature range of -60 ℃~20 ℃, the sensor has a temperature sensitivity of 8.77 pm/℃ and a linearity of 0.997 51. It can be seen that seven-core fiber Bragg grating has relatively stable response characteristics at both normal and low temperatures, but when the temperature decreases, the sensitivity decreases and the linearity becomes worse. The research results have reference value for the research of temperature sensing based on fiber Bragg grating.

    In response to the initial YOLOv5 target detection algorithm's problems of inadequate extraction of defect features in complex targets, imprecise localization, low detection accuracy and high miss detection rate, an improved YOLOv5 steel surface defect detection algorithm is proposed, in which the anchor frame is calculated with the K-Means++ algorithm for anchor frame selection, so that the randomly selected clustering center tends to the global optimal solution as much as possible and the prediction frame is more accurate. The CBAM attention mechanism is added to give higher weights to the defects in complex images and enhance the attention to key information. The results after the experimental comparison show that the improved YOLOv5 algorithm has better detection performance.

    In order to establish the influence relationship between surface roughness parameters and surface gloss, starting from the measurement method and principle of the latter, the extinction mechanism of rough surface is analyzed in detail, the glossiness calculation method is introduced, and the influence of the coherence length and the mean square deviation of surface height fluctuation on surface gloss is investigated. The results show that the surface gloss decreases rapidly as the mean square deviation of surface height fluctuation increasing in the range less than the wavelength. With the increasing of coherent length and incident angle, the surface gloss increases accordingly. The relevant methods and conclusions are of fundamental significance for the subsequent establishment of the relationship between the gloss and the fine structure characteristics of the surface, so as to achieve the adjustment of the gloss by controlling the fine structure.

    According to the market demands of developing low-cost optical fiber pressure and flow meters, an effective method of integrating a limited number of ordinary narrow-band light sources into a small wide-band light source is proposed. Research results show that multiple narrow-band light sources with different wavelengths, which meet certain conditions, can be changed into a small broadband light source by coupling multiple optical fiber couplers. By adjusting the internal current of the narrow-band light source and changing the output light intensity, the spectral flatness of the small-scale broadband light source can be effectively improved. With the help of mathematical algorithm, the judgment basis for the optimal spectral quality of the small broadband light source is proposed theoretically. By using the spline fitting function, the program can be written, and the output light intensity of a single light source can be automatically adjusted by controlling the current effectively. Research results show that the small broadband light source developed by this new technology has the characteristics of low manufacturing cost, small volume, high spectral flatness and adjustable intensity, and the spectral width can reach 2~3 nm. The simulation testing shows that the proposed method is effective.
