By using the Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensor of an adaptive optical system, power spectra density (PSD) of the atmosphere disturbed wavefront overall tilt was measured and analyzed. It is shown that the measured PSDs are different from the theoretic results of Kolmogorov turbulence given by Tyler. A method of calculating the Tyler frequency and the required control bandwidth of the fast steering mirror of an adaptive optical system from measured overall tilt PSDs was discussed too.

An optical distortion-invariant image recognition method based on the multivariated statistical analysis is presented. In this approach, a set of eigenimages is first extracted from a large number of training images including various distortions by using the principal component analysis and then are used as the reference patterns to be optical correlated with the testing input image. The optical correlation results between the input image and the set of eigenimges construct a feature space, on which the discriminant analysis is performed during the training and classification process. Then the distortion-invariant recognition to the input image can be implemented quickly. The optical experimental results implemented on an incoherent optical correlator are given.

Further work was done on the cascaded neural network system for muti-target recognition. Three plane models were used as targets to be recognized to imitate the real scene. It is found that the recognizing rate is lowered dramatically mostly due to complex distortions occuring in applications, which are very different with that stimulated by computers. Utilizing images of the models as training samples, the network was reconstructed and retrained. Good results were obtained. And to approach image preprocessing problems, such as location and segmentation, an efficient method of quick target detection and location is proposed based on binary morphological erosion algorithm.

A method of recognition of color image under incoherent optical system is proposed. A color image is decomposed into three monochromatic images to be processed, then a realizable phase-only optical transfer function (OTF) is designed. The passband of this OTF is optimized to increase the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and to yield a sharp correlation peak. This OTF can be synthesized by a couple of filters. The experimental results on color image recognition are presented.

A new binary joint transform correlator algorithm is presented which uses the discrete cosine transform technique to process the joint transform power spectrum. This binary joint transform correlator can compare a target fingerprint with four reference fingerprints. Compared with other joint power spectrum processing method such as slide-window local median threshold method, the correlator using this technique has better performance in terms of output peak-to-noise ratio, peak intensity and discriminate rate. The result of optical-electrical hybrid experiment has shown that this technique can greatly improve the discrimination ability of multiple fingerprint identification system.

The mathematical mode for reflectance and transmission of the fiber-optical intrinsic unsymmetrical Fabry-Perot interferometer (IUFPI) is presented. The mathematical model for fiber-optical cavity longitudinal change of a low fineness IUFPI and intensity of the interferometric lignt is also presented. If r′1=t1t′1r2=r, and t1t′1=1-r′21≈1, then the interference of reflections from fiber optical IUFPI can be approximately regarded as interference of two beams with equal amplitude. In the same time, the mathematical model for output of optical-electronic converter and the interference intensity of two beams with equal amplitude is discussed. All the mathematical models are the foundation of fiber-optical IUFPI applications.

It is found that the reciprocity method is more appropriate for calculating stimulated emission cross section of ytterbium laser glasses.

The UV-emission-dye TMQ doped silica film and slab were prepared by the sol-gel process with the maximum concentrations of 1.24×10-2 mol/L and 1.5×10-3 mol/L respectively. Because of the binding effect of the “cage” and the polarity of the “cage” in the silica host, concentration quench of TMQ was not observed in the emission spectra and a 10 nm red shift was found, compared to that of TMQ-cyclohexane solution.

Multi-wavelength conversion was simultaneously achieved by using nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM).The maximum separtion of the wavelength conversion between the control laser and the signal laser is larger than 25 nm. In the system, the gain switched distributed feed-back laser-diode is used as the control pulse with the pulse width of 20 ps, the spectrum-sliced fiber amplifier light source is used as the signal lasers with multi-wavelength output. The performance of the converted signal with different wavelength depends on the control optical power or the direction of the polarization controller in NOLM.

The pupil filters are neutral in the transverse direction and superresolving in the axial direction. The filters have small value of M, defined as the maximum value of sidelobes intensity relative to the central core, and relatively good effect of superresolution is attained. The new filters function based on these results are suggested and the superresolving function of midzone of the filters are discussed.

The effects of the motion of atomic mass centre and field mode structure on the dynamics of the field phase in the Jaynes-Cummings model are discussed by means of the Hermitian phase formulas of Pegg and Barnett. The time evolutions of the phase probability and the phase fluctuation, with the motion of atomic mass centre neglected and the motion not neglected, respectively, is derived. Under the two conditions, the dynamics of the field phase are compared. The results show that the motion of atomic mass centre leads to the periodic evolution of the dynamics of the field phase and this period depends on the field mode structure parameter.

By comparing the decay of second-harmonic generation of the films with different substrates and under different temperatures,it is shown than the stability of charge near the interface between the film and substrate is influenced by the bulk electric resistance of the substrate,and this charge character consequently influences the SHG stability of the film.

Photon echo in polarization beat spectroscopy is studied for a V-type three-level system. When the pump beams have broadband linewidth, one-photon four-wave mixing (FWM) is related to the three-pulse stimulated photon echo with relative time delay τ>0.

This technique can achieve Doppler-free precision in the measurement of the energy level splitting between two excited states.
