A new method of speckle metrology techniques called optical flow analysis is proposed based on dynamic scene analysis. From a new point of view, the probability of using the concept of image sequence processing to analyse speckle patterns is discussed in detail. It is proved that if speckle patterns do not meet the constrained conditions for optical flow analyses, a multichannel image processing method can be used to change the continued distribution of images to expand the measurement range. With classical metrology techniques, speckle patterns must be processed in spatial frequency domains. But by using optical flow analyses, speckle patterns can be directly processed in spatial domains. It provides a new way to reach the real-time measurement of speckle patterns.

A phase modulated real time joint transform correlator is proposed, in which a liquid crystal display screen is adopted as an input device and the joint power spectrum is recorded and displayed by a liquid crystal light valve. The diffraction orders of the grating type structure on the liquid crystal display screen are utilized in this system. As a result, it can use the light energy as well as the physical area of the liquid crystal light valve more efficiently. In order to suit low-resolution of the liquid crystal light valve, and imaging lens is applied to amplifying joint frequency spectrum of the diffraction orders. The two oblique parallel plane glass plates are inserted in the correlator to manipulate the phase differences between the reference image and the target image of the diffraction orders. This technique yields better output correlation performences than the classical real-time joint transform correlator. The experimental results verified the correctness of the system design and performance analysis.

There are three ways for the energy transfer from Yb 3+ to Pr 3+ . Yb 3+ ions act as sensitisers in the upconversion luminescence of Pr 3+ ions. There are also three energy transfer paths from Pr 3+ ions to Yb 3+ ions, which quenches the luminescence of Pr 3+ ions and results in saturation of luminescence of Pr 3+ ions with the increasing concentration of Yb3+ ions.

The effective long wavelength dielectric constant of this crystal has been calculated using photonic band structure, simultaneously, the results agree with electrostatic theory well.

So SRS can not be the mechanism of producing these scattered lights, which could come from specular reflection.
