    Time-of-flight aerosol beams spectrometry is a typical method of accurate size and concentration measurement in aerosol particles' size distribution monitoring. Accurate measurement of aerosol particles' time-of-flight is the key to monitor the distribution of particles' size. A method of accurate measurement of aerosol particles' time-of-flight is designed by improving the threshold level comparison method, and the comparison of zero-level instead of the changing threshold level is realized based on differentiation since the maximum value of the original singal is corresponding to zero-level of the differential singal. By using this method, the time-of-flight can be accurately measured when the strength of the scattered light changes, or when the two peaks of the scattered light are not symmetrical.

    Differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) has become a widely used method to measure trace gases in the atmosphere. It can identify trace gases through narrow-band molecular absorption. Concentration of trace gases is retrieved using method of least-squares fits of reference spectra to the measurement spectra. A novel retrieval method based on radial basis function (RBF) neural network was developed to retrieve the concentration of trace gases in DOAS system. The coefficient of the hidden layer was trained by modified nearest neighbor clustering algorithm, and that of the output layer was trained by gradient descent algorithm. These result in a fast speed of convergence of network. At last, there was comparison between the novel retrieval method and the conventional least-squares fitting. The experimental results show that the reliability and accuracy of DOAS are improved and detection limits are decreased by using the novel retrieval method.

    A high-accuracy fluid refractive-index sensor based on an arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) is designed. This system measures the refractive-index of a fluid in the groove using the characteristic of the sensibility of the phase shift of arrayed-waveguides. The phase shifts of the arrayed waveguides (AWs) lead to the position change of the maximum of the light intensity in the image plane of the output slab. The high accuracy real-time refractive-index of the fluid can be obtained from the power rate between two output waveguides via a narrow band source. A mathematical model based on the theory of Fourier optics and wave optics is established with reasonable parameters and the consideration of every factor. The analytic expression of the relationship between the refractive-index of the fluid and the power rate is obtained via fitting. The method can eliminate the instability, the inner loss of the instrument and the measurement error caused by the environment to improve the measurement accuracy of refractive index.

    A generalized model to evaluate variance of four-wave-mixing (FWM) noise in dispersion managed wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) system with intensity modulation scheme is presented. The information sequence of bits and initial phase of bit sequences are random. The model gives the statistical results of them. Simultaneously, the positions of inter-channel pulse collisions are also included in the model, which are more difficult to be located in dispersion managed fiber link than in constant dispersion fiber link due to inter-channel pulse walk-off. Some examples show that optimized dispersion management schemes are important to decrease FWM noise, and meanwhile make pulses transmit steadily. It is also shown that when the pulse duty cycle is small, initial relative time delay of bit sequence plays an important role in obtaining minimized value of FWM noise variance.

    Curvelet transform can preserve more details for image denoising, but it always has the ‘warp-around’ artifacts in image edges. Total variation, another effective image denoising method, can preserve edges better, but image texture information will be also smoothed. An efficient image denoising method based on combination of curvelet transform and total variation is proposed. Firstly, the image is denoised by curvelet thresholding method and total variation method. Then, the two denoised images are fused using curvelet transform. Here the weighted average algorithm and maximizing absolute value algorithm are used respectively to process the low-frequency coefficients and the high-frequency coefficients. Finally, the denoised image is reconstructed by the inverse curvelet transform. Experimental results show that the new method is effective in removing white noise, and the detail of the image is kept well. It has better denoising effect than single curvelet thresholding method and total variation method.

    The fixed point iteration is employed when we restore the image by total variation, and we propose to select the regularization parameter by variance of noise in the iteration. The initial noise statistical properties in observe image is known hypothetically. In order to correctly estimate the variance of noise in iteration, a pure synthesis noise as an image is synchronously iterated with the observation image in de-convolution, and we take variance of pure noise image as the estimation of the variance of noise in observation image to compute the regularization parameter by the variance. Against the anisotropy of the regularization, the novel regularization term that can ensure the synchronous changing of the statistical properties of two noises was propose in this article. The new regularization term is put into use only in iteration of pure noise image, and the similarity of statistical properties between actual image noise and pure noise can be maintained in iteration. Under the condition of knowing the variance of noise of image in iteration, the relationship between the variance of synthetic noise and the regularization parameter λ can be established. The adaptability of total variation based image restoration is dramatically improved.

    Space-based detection algorithm in American SBV named moving target indicator(MTI) algorithm was improved. The improved algorithm could detect target streak ‘submerged’ in noise and clutter more quickly and more effectively. MTI improved algorithm used a new two-dimensional image detection preprocessing algorithm named windowed detection in probability algorithm. There were more the non-zero points in target detection window than in pure noise detection window with the same size. According to the characteristic, windowed detection in probability algorithm used threshold filter in detection window. The threshold filter extremely suppressed noise along with eliminating portion target points. Then, doubtful target streak was eliminated by three-point collinear streak detection algorithm. The streak detection algorithm reduced false-alarm probability and increased detection probability. By algorithm was performance analysis, false-alarm probability of MTI improved algorithm was reduced fifteen times than MTI algorithm, and needed signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was reduced from 6 to 3 when detection probability equals to 99%. Furthermore, the calculation amount of MTI improved algorithm was reduced six order of magnitude than MTI algorithm.

    Acquisition of the optical structures within a biological body is critical to all the diffuse light imaging modalities, such as diffuse optical tomography(DOT) and fluorescence molecular tomography(FMT). On an assumption of the optical homogeneity within the organs, it can be cast as a shape-based DOT issue, which aims to simultaneously recover the smooth region boundaries and optical properties of the biological tissue. The boundary element method (BEM) is used for the forward modeling and implemented in two dimensions, and compared with those obtained from the finite element method (FEM) approach for the validation. A truncated singular value decomposition(truncated-SVD) optimization method is implemented for the inverse problem, which is evaluated in a domain with 3 heterogeneous inclusions at 40 dB noise level. The numerical simulations show that the methodology is very promising and of good convergence. The shape parameters and the optical coefficients can be reconstructed with good accuracy at a reasonable noise level.

    A method of improving image reconstruction quality for time-domain breast diffuse optical tomography is proposed based on panel detection. A measurement space expanded scheme is presented that uses cubic spline interpolation to obtain more measurements from less source-detector pairings to alleviate the problem that the number of boundary measurements data is generally far fewer than that of unknown parameters to be reconstructed in reconstructing process. Compared with traditional algorithm, this method can efficiently improve the reconstruction quality and spatial resolution. The proposed methodology is validated by reconstructing the image of the slab phantom containing two deeply-located absorption and scattering contrasting cubes. And the reconstruction contrast is analysed here for the quantification of the spatial resolution.Numerical simulation results illustrate that the spatial resolution of reconstructed image is 4 mm edge-to-edge.

    The Phase-spectrum method (PS), widely used in time delay estimation techniques in the fields of radar and sonar, is applied to detect the wavelength shift for any shape of reflection or transmission spectrum of fiber Bragg grating sensors in homogeneous strain or temperature fields. The peak detection sensitivity to noise is analyzed, and the results show that for single mode FBG sensors, the larger the fiber length and the refractive index is, the more seriously the SNR influences on the peak detection. The experimental results show that compared with conventional algorithms, the proposed method can effectively suppress the random excursion of the central wavelength, and its estimation accuracy is not limited by the wavelength accuracy. Besides, it needs no assumption of the spectrum shapes and no interpolations, and thus reduces the computational consumption. The wavelength detection accuracy is on a scale of pm.

    Based on the circumstance that the outliers appear sometimes when the pose of target is measured by mono-vision method, a new method is presented for estimating the pose (position & attitude) based on outliers-removal (ORPE). The optimization function is established based on the principle of max-min error. Then the outliers can be detected and removed through eliminating frontier of maximum error. Furthermore the impact of outliers’ error on the accuracy of pose estimation can be eliminated. The pose of 1 m×1 m×1 m cube target is measured by ORPE, which proves the validity of the algorithm. The pose of Boeing plane model is measured by ORPE. As a result, the average attitude error is 2.07°, and the average position error is 1.6%. Comparatively, the average error of ORPE is less than the one of the lest-square pose estimation (LSPE) method. Consequently, it’s demonstrated that ORPE can do outliers-removal effectively, and improve the accuracy of pose estimation simultaneously.

    The characteristics of fiber loop have important effect on the performance of the phase locking array of fiber lasers based on a common fiber loop. The configuration, properties of the array and the functions of the loop are introduced. The theoretical model of the loop is established, and its power transmission and resonance properties are analyzed by the intensity and amplitude addition methods respectively. It is proved that they are consistent when the line-width of input light-wave is considered. The research results indicate that increasing the fiber coupler's coupling ratio can increase the coupling strength among component lasers of the phase locking array, and the output power and combining efficiency will not decrease obviously if the loop's loss is low. The filtering effect of fiber loop is observed in experiment, and the output power decreases slightly and regularly with the increase of coupling ratio, which is consistent with the conclusions obtained from theoretical analysis.

The less-textured area stereo matching problem can be solved by region-based stereo matching algorithm, in which the key steps are dividing and matching of less-textured area. According to the characters of less-textured area, a novel approach is provided for less-textured area dividing. It describes the texture with Laws′ masks and gets the less-textured area by histogram-based segmentation. It can get the best result for various scene images by comparing various combinations of Laws′ masks. Experimental results on the international standard image data show that our algorithm has better recognition rate of less-textured area and better robustness of choosing the dividing threshold than the previous method which describes the texture with gray level co-occurrence matrix and gets the less-textured area by region growing-based segmentation. This new algorithm is helpful to increase the accuracy and usability of region-based stereo matching algorithm.

    The all-optical sampling based on the nonlinear polarization rotation in semiconductor optical amplifiers has the advantages of high-speed operation and small pump power, and it shows a possible solution for high-speed all-optical analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion. A novel method to characterize the linearity and efficiency of the all-optical sampling is proposed. The all-optical sampling transfer curve is fitted by a polynomial function, and the sampling system is described by the polynomial function. The efficiency and the harmonic distortion of the sampling process can be analytically expressed by the polynomial coefficients after substitution and expansion of the cosine function. It is not necessary to execute a complicated Fourier transform, and the results from our method are agreeable with those obtained by the Fourier analysis method. This method is simple but accurate and is useful for the full characterization on the linearity and efficiency of all-optical sampling based on semiconductor optical amplifier and can be extended to the nonlinear distortion of the analogue signal modulation.

    In order to satisfy the applications requirement in fiber-radio links and phased array antennas,a novel microwave photonic filter with passband and stopband interchanged is proposed and demonstrated. The filter is based on a recirculating delay line loop with a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) followed by a tunable narrowband optical filter. The negative tap is generated by using the wavelength conversion employing the cross-gain modulation of the amplified spontaneous emission spectrum of the SOA. When the central wavelength of the optical filter is aligned with the laser wavelength, a microwave bandpass filter is obtained. On the other hand, when the optical filter detunes from the laser wavelength a little, a narrow notch filter with flat passband is realized. The structure can be operated as a high Q or notch filter with flat passband by tuning the central wavelength of the optical filter.

    In order to study the mechanism of electrical discharge machining(EDM), the energy distribution of cathode and anode was calculated based on photon emission. The matter waves of positive ion and electron were firstly obtained and knowledge was got that the positive ion mainly moved in vibration and produced photon emission in discharge channel, and that the electron mainly moved in diffraction and produced photon emission at anode. The photon emission was assumed equal probability, and several equations had been attained about heat density, heat and average heat density, and a newly explanation was submitted that large polar action expressed when using small duration charge, and small polar action expressed when using large duration charge. At last, the affection of this mechanism was applied to micro EDM, finish machining and rough machining, showed that small duration charge matched with normal polarity (work piece to positive electrode) and compacting discharge channel which could guarantee the precision, and that large duration charge matched with reversed polarity (work piece to negative electrode) and no need to compact discharge channel which could guarantee machining efficiency and surface quality.

    The propagation equations for oblique and off-axial Gaussian beams passing through cat-eye optical lens are deduced by using the theory of matrix optics and expanding the aperture function into a finite sum of complex Gaussian functions. By numerical computation, the laws governing the variation of the intensity distribution of the cat-eye reflected light with the obliquity factor and the off-axis magnitude are given. The result shows that the intensity distribution of the cat-eye reflected light under oblique condition has asymmetric aberrance, and the distribution rules at small and large different obliquity factors differ greatly. Furthermore, the feasibility of cat-eye effect reflected light used in the active laser detection system is determined by the obliquity factor and the off-axis magnitude.

    A complete picture of the evolution of a plane wave passing through axicon-lens system was theoretical analyzed, numerical simulated and experimental demonstrated. A non-diffracting beam was obtained as plane wave passing axicon. A bottle beam can be generated if a focal lens kept within the maximum non-diffracting distance, and the size of the bottle beam easy adjusted by changing the focal length of the lens. As the beam further propagation, self-reconstruction of the Bessel beam generated. The divergence of the self-reconstruction beam causes the beam intensity decreasing and the bright spot size increasing as the beam propagating. A second focal lens was introduced to rectify the divergence of the self-reconstruction beam. The intensity profiles of the beam cross-section were captured using the optical system of the microscope and CCD camera. The theoretical analysis and numerical simulation were confirmed by the experimental results.

    A method for solving the inverse problem of frequency tripling, i.e., how to calculate the shape of the fundamental field (1ω), and how to obtain the required 1ω pulse by pulses stacking method for a given shape of the third-harmonic field (3ω), was proposed. Based on some numerical techniques such as split-step Fourier transform and fourth-order Runge-Kutta, the quantitative relation between the input 1ω intensity and the output 3ω intensity was obtained by curve fitting method.Taking the shaping pulse with a certain shape as the required output 3ω pulse, the corresponding shape of the 1ω pulse can be determined by the inverse calculation. Furthermore, the parameters of the pulse stacker, such as attenuation and time delay, etc, were worked out. Consequently, the temporal pulse shaping for 1ω pulse can been realized, leading to the realization of the required output 3 pulse.The results indicate that the inverse problem can be solved quickly and precisely with the method proposed in this paper, and this method is useful for pulse shaping of frequency tripling.

    An optical coupled-resonator may simulate the phenomenon of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in atomic vapors. We utilize the separated optical cavity mirrors to set up the coupled-resonator, which is easy to adjust the parameters of optical coupled-resonator. The reflection spectra of the coupled-resonator with the middle cavity mirror of different transmittance are measured. The EIT-like effect is observed in the optical coupled-resonator due to the classical destructive interference. This system can be used to study the slow and fast light experiments due to its simplicity and flexibility.

    The entanglement of two two-level atoms in a coherent field of time-varying frequency have been investigated. The properties of the entanglement of two atoms for two typical——the frequency of field varying with time in the forms of sine function and rectangular pulses——have been considered. The numerical calculation show: for the frequency changing with time in sinusoidal form, the frequency and the mean photon number of field affect the entanglement of two atoms and in the condition of a small number of photons, small-amplitude fast oscillations occur during half period. For the frequency changing with time in rectangular form, The sudden jumping of the field with rectangular pulsed frequency-modulation can change the coherence of the two atoms, and induce the new entanglement phenomenon of the two atoms. The entanglement of two atoms is small-amplitude fast oscillations during the pulse. The changes of optical field frequency can change the coherence of atoms, and then change entanglement between atoms. The paper prove to be constructive in entanglement preparation and control in quantum information technique.

    A Bayesian inference model was developed to select per-pixel endmembers set. Considering the uncertainty of endmembers’ spectra, based on Bayesian inference and linear spectral mixture model, the posterior probability of per-pixel endmembers set was obtained. Using the prior knowledge of endmembers’ coexistence, combined with the normal distribution function of endmembers’ spectra, the optimal endmembers set was selected based on maximal liklihood. The experiment on an ETM+ image including 147431 pixel showed that, compared with the MRES and PG algorithms provided by IDRISI, the Bayesian approach reduced 70% redundant endmembers, and the unmixing error induced by inaccurate endmembers was reduced to 28%. The result showed that, considering the uncertainty of endmemebers′ spectra and the coexistence of endmembers, Bayesian inference can increase the accuracy rate of endmembers′ selection, so the unmixing accuracy was improved significantly.

    The time and spatial-resolved emission spectrum in laser-induced Al plasma was measured for the 390.068,394.4,396.152 and 466.3056 nm spectral lines. The electron density of the plasmas was calculated from the measured spectral line intensity and Stark broadening of emission spectral lines respectively. The time and spatial evolution property of the electron density was discussed according to the experimental results. It is shown that the plasma electron density varies from 0.02×1017 to 1.4×1017 cm-3 when the time delay is in the range from 100 to 1500 ns. It is also concluded that the plasma electron density varies from 0.28×1017 to 0.95×1017 cm-3 along the direction on the laser beam when the distance of the measured zone from the target surface is in the range from 0 to 1.8 mm. The distribution of the plasma electron density along the direction of the laser beam has well symmetry.

    Polarization spectroscopy is of high sensitivity and resolution. A method based on the adjustable balance probe polarization spectroscopy is proposed, the change of the spectroscopy shapes in different polarization planes is investigated, and the retroflexion of the lineshapes with the rotation of the polarization plate is observed. The retroflexion of the lineshapes is illustrated by combining the polarization theory and the balance probe theory, which is in good accordance with the experiment. The relationship between the peak-to-peak value of the dispersion-like spectroscopy and the power of pump beam is also demonstrated, and it is found that the saturation of spectroscopy amplitude appears when the power ratio of pump beam to probe beam is about 100, which provides a theoretical reference on choosing parameters in the laser frequency stabilization by using polarization spectroscopy.

    Under the framework of support vector machines using one against one strategy, a novel kernel method based on nonlinear correlation coefficient is proposed to raise the classification accuracy under the most conditions of no ground truth reference map. This method takes into account the non-uniform information distribution of remote sensing hyperspectral data, and assigns nonlinear correlation coefficients as weights for the corresponding bands to make the band with greater correlation information play a more important role during the process of classification. Meanwhile a new estimated reference map based on nonlinear correlation coefficient is proposed to solve the realistic problem that the real one is usually unavailable. The experimental results show that for the support vector machines based on radial basis function, after adopting the proposed kernels, the average accuracy and the overall accuracy in multi-classification are increased by 2.90% and 3.11% with typical parameter configuration and no ground truth reference map, besides the computational time increment is unobvious.

    Observation of the He-II spectrum at the wavelength of 30.4 nm, a key spectrum in solar spectrum, is of great significance in investigating solar activity and space environment. Multilayer film reflective mirrors are usually adapted in solar observation at extreme ultraviolet (EUV) wave range. Reflection at the wavelength of 30.4 nm of the multilayer films composed of Mg is studied. The multilayer film is designed using evaluation function expressing as highest reflectivity. SiC/Mg, B4C/Mg, C/Mg multilayer films are fabricated by using direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering, and the multilayer structures are measured using X-ray diffractometer. The multilayer mirror of B4C/Mg has highest reflectivity in theory but SiC/Mg multilayer film has the best quality and the highest reflectivity in practice. The reflectivity of SiC/Mg multilayer mirror was measured by the reflectometer in synchrotron radiation laboratory. At incidence angle of 10°, the reflectivity is 44.6%.

    Chirped pulse oscillation (CPO) and femtosecond laser microscopy both require large dispersion compensation amount within a certain bandwidth. This required compensation amount is too large to achieve for those dispersion compensation filters that has already used in femtosecond laser system. A novel design method was introduced based on a conjugate cavity and Gires-Tournois cavity hybrid initial structure, dispersion compensation requirement of the system can be fulfilled by subsequent computer optimization. To prove the validity of this method, we apply two design examples were provided which meet the practical requirement of CPO and femtosecond laser microscopy. Compared with those designs by singly computer optimization, this design is much more simpler and in order, so it is easier for preparation.

    The SiC material can't meet the application requirement of high quality space-used optical system because the considerable surface scattering on the SiC mirror after polish. So the surface modification must be taken on in order to obtain high quality optical surface on the SiC mirror before use. The two prevailing international methods for surface modification are to use of Si coating and SiC coating. Surface modifications are made by the two means using e-beam evaporation with ion assisted. Test results show that the Si coating is cubic phase. Surface roughness(rms) of the SiC substrate is reduced to 0.620 nm and scattering coefficient is reduced to 1.52% after Si coating modification. The SiC coating is amorphous. Surface roughness(rms) of the SiC substrate is reduced to 0.743 nm and scattering coefficient is reduced to 2.79% after SiC coating modification. The modification coatings both have a good temperature stability and a high adhesion to the SiC substrate. Evaluated by the reliability the method of using Si coating is much more compatible for the engineering application interiorly. After the surface modification by means of using Si coating, the wastage of surface scattering is reduced greatly and the quality of optical surface is improved obviously. The surface reflectance with Ag coating is obviously enhanced to that of fine polished zerodur glass, thus it can meet the application requirement of high quality space-used optical system.

    Frequency-doubling is investigated using two BBO crystals with 70-fs, 800-nm laser pulses at the repetition of 10 Hz . The size of crystals are both 10 mm×10 mm×0.2 mm . Focused on spatial walk-off and phase velocity mismatching, the angle between the axes of the two crystals and the phase velocity mismatching of the fundamental pulse are adjusted respectively. It is experimentally demonstrated that the spatial walk-off could be compensated by use of two crystals placed anti-parallel, and angle mismatching with some degree may compensate phase velocity mismatching of the frequency-doubled pulse. The frequency-doubled pulse with bandwidth of 6.7 nm and energy of more than 2.8 mJ is achieved. The frequency-doubling conversion efficiency reaches 35.7%, which is improved by a factor of 1.7 related to a single crystal in the same condition.

    The ultrafast ultraviolet(UV) laser source with central wavelength of 268 nm, spectrum width of 1.5 nm and single pulse energy of 0.58 mJ which is obtained by third harmonic generation of Ti:sapphire laser system with pulse duration of 70 fs and central wavelength of 808 nm can generate a plasma channel due to the nonlinear effect when it is injected into Ar gas cell after focusing. We studied the filament feature of UV laser at 268 nm and the modulation of spectrum by UV filament under the condition of different gas pressure, focal length and gas category. The spectrum width of 3.3 nm can be obtained with 2.2 atm Ar pressure and 1000 mm focal length which is a factor-of-2.2 improvement compared with input spectrum. We observed that both the increase of gas pressure and focal length are beneficial to the increase of plasma channel length and spectrum broadening. The plasma channel induced by UV pulses could provide a valid approach for attaining extremely ultrafast pulses in the UV range.
