A low-loss UV hollow-core anti-resonant optical fiber is designed by simulation. Firstly, a theoretical model of the UV hollow-core anti-resonant optical fiber is established based on the finite element method. Secondly, the performance and loss values of the optical fiber are further optimized by adjusting the parameters of the reflective layer and air filling ratio, and controlling the light propagation and reflection using the anti-resonance effect. Finally, the finite element method is used to simulate the designed UV hollow-core anti-resonant optical fiber,which results in a minimum transmission loss of 0.003 26 dB/m at a transmission wavelength of 375 nm, corresponding to a bending loss of 0.006 25 dB/m at a bending radius of 5 cm, and a high efficiency and stable mode output.An important reference and guidance are provided for the development of high-performance simulation design of UV hollow-core anti-esonant fibers, which offers further possibilities for practical applications.

Numerical analysis results show that the introduction of trench is beneficial for reducing bending losses of higher-order modes.
An SnO2-WOs nanometer flowers coated microfiber bi-taper interferometer (MFI) for methane concentration detection is proposed and demonstrated. The tapered MFI is fabricated by fused bi-tapers method with the multi-core fiber. The methane sensitive materials SnO2-WO, is synthesized by using hydrothermal and impregnation methods. And the SnO2-WO3 material is coated on the MFI structure outsides by using the drop coating method.When the methane molecules is adsorbed on the coating material, the refractive index of the material will be changed, which will cause the transmission spectrum of the sensor changed.

Experimental results show that the SnO2-WO3 nano-flower coated MFI sensor has large concentration detection range and high stability at room temperature. The measurement methane concentration range is 0~34%, the sensitivity is about 0.11 nm/%. The selectivity of the sensor is also studied. The responses of isopropyl alcohol, methanol, alcohol and methane are studied and compared,the results show that the sensor has high adsorption selectivity of methane, which has potential application in the field of mine gas detection and early warning.
White light interferometry has been applied to micro and nano structure 3D surface topography measurement due to its non-contact, non-damage, large range, high precision and high sensitivity. However, the measurement range is limited by the microscopic objective field. A 3D surface topography splicing method is proposed which can effectively improve the measurement range. Through the domain division of small range and high resolution white light interference pattern collected for many times, the three-dimensional topography data registration method is adopted, and the template matching algorithm is used to match the binary matrix of the image, and the surface topography of the components to be measured is effectively characterized. It is found that when different image splicing methods are used, namely up-down splicing, left-right splicing and 2&2 splicing methods, the effect of image splicing is different, and the accuracy and error are different. Among the three splicing methods, the 2&2 splicing method can effectively reduce the operation error, achieve a large range and high resolution interference pattern splicing, and has a broad application prospect in the white light interference three-dimensional topography characterization.

In order to solve the problem of small wavelength tuning range of external cavity tunable diode lasers, the transmission characteristics of Gaussian beam in the resonator are analyzed. Results show that adjusting the output beam of gain chip to a small divergence angle to achieve collimation is not conductive to expand the wavelength tuning range. For a Littman-Metcalf tunable diode laser covering 1 480~1 640 nm, a collimation scheme is proposed by adjusting the waist position to equal the length of the external cavity. The simulation results show that the tuning range of the tunable diode laser can be greatly improved by using this collimation method compared with the collimation method with small divergence angle.
