    Third-order tensor is introduced to represent 3D density field of turbulence. The third-order tensor is decomposed with high-order singular-value decomposition (HOSVD) method to get singular values and corresponding eigenvector. Several great singular values and corresponding eigenvectors are used to reconstruct the density field which is the optimal approximation of the original flow field and gives the large-scale coherent structure in 3D turbulence. The reconstructed 3D density field involves the dominated information of the original flow field. The simulation results of aero-optical effect give the evidences that light transmission in reconstructed field is similar to original field.

    Based on fractal theory, the cluster-cluster aggregation (CCA) model is used to simulate the fractal structure of the soot aerosols in random orientation using Monte-Carlo method, and the absorption, scattering and extinction efficiency factors of fractal soot aerosols in random orientation are simulated in the solar radiation spectrum ranging from 0.2 to 10.0 μm of wavelength by the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) method. The influential rules about the solar radiative wavelength, diameter and the number of primary particles on the extinction characteristics of soot aerosols in random orientation are provided. The comparison of the numerical results obtained by the DDA method with T matrix method shows that the results by two methods are very similar which verifies the validity of DDA method. It is shown that the carbon and fly ash aerosols have different influences of extinction characteristics on solar radiation, whose radiative wavelength ranges from ultraviolet to near infrared bands, and the extinction characteristics of solar radiation by soot aerosols are mainly determined by the radius and the number of primitive particles besides the refractive index.

    Based on the three-dimensional coupled wave theory and the two-dimensional Runge-Kutta methods, diffraction properties of ultrashort pulsed Gaussian beams by volume holographic gratings (VHG) with truncated boundaries are studied. Effects of the polarizations of the readout beams and the grating boundaries on the intensity distributions of diffracted pulsed beams in spectral and temporal domains are presented, and the effects on Bragg selectivity bandwidth, the total diffraction efficiency of gratings are also given. Simulation results show that the Bragg selectivity bandwidth and the distributions of the diffracted pulsed beams along the output boundary of local holographic gratings in spectral and temporal domains can be improved, and the diffracted pulsed beams with better beam quality and higher diffraction efficiency can be obtained by choosing the truncated parameters of local holographic gratings, controlling the polarizations of the readout beams and choosing the pulse duration of readout pulsed beams.

    A novel scheme is demonstrated to generate single-sideband optical millimeter-wave signals employing frequency quadrupling. A dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator (DPMZM) is used to achieve frequency quadrupling. With electrical phase shifting and bias control, the DPMZM generates optical signal comprised of a carrier and two two-order side-bands. After removing the optical carrier with an optical filter, a quadruple optical millimeter-wave signal is generated. An experimental radio-over-fiber (RoF) transmission system is built. 40 GHz optical millimeter-wave signal with 1 Gb/s pseudorandom bit sequence data is transsmited, whose power penalty is only 0.8 dB over 20 km single-mode fiber (SMF).

    Phase noise is considered as one of the main sources of signal impairments in optical phase-shift-keying (PSK) systems. The main sources of linear phase noise and nonlinear phase noise are introduced. The linear phase noises arise from amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) of each in-line amplifier and the nonlinear phase noises are induced by the fiber Kerr effect. The probability density functions (PDF) of linear phase noise and nonlinear phase noise are obtained respectively by theoretical analysis. The probability distribution of linear phase noise, nonlinear phase noise and total phase noise in fiber links are also obtained by statistical simulation, and are compared with Gaussian distribution. The results show that the Gaussian model can reflect noise distribution in practical fiber links when input signal power is low, while failed to accurately characterize systems when the nonlinear contribution to phase noise becomes dominant.

With balanced and optimal design of phase modulation index, the coupling coefficient of input-output coupler, the net loss of the resonator, and the bandwidth of the bandpass filter, 48 40 GHz optical millimeter waves with acceptable amplitude uniformity can be obtained. Effect of initial phase noise of optical millimeter waves on its frequency bandwidth is analyzed.

    Fast auto-focusing technology is a crucial technology in computer vision and digital video system. A novel rapid auto-focusing method is proposed according to the model of optical defocusing system by using autocorrelation of derivative image. Firstly, a Laplacian operator is used to search an isotropic second-order differential to the defocused image and get the autocorrelation of the derivative image. Then, the radius of point spread function, that equals the blur′s radius of the defocused image, can be obtained from the annular groove of the autocorrelation. Finally, the right focus position can be deduced from the geometric relation between the radius of blurred spot and the defocusing value. The experimental results show that this proposed method can accurately estimate the radius of blurred spot and the right focus position for any target. Compared with the traditional methods based on focus criteria functions, this method only needs 2 defocused images that reduce the computation quantity and simplify the system to meet the fast auto focusing requirement.

    Fourier telescopy (FT) is an active imaging technology which interferes several spatial diverse, frequency-encoded laser beams on a distant target, and reconstructs the object image by demodulating the reflected time signals of intensity. A new approach of processing the time history of the reflected intensity for object reconstruction of FT is devised based on all-phase spectrum analysis. The phase and amplitude of the FT signals could be educed by all-phase fast Fourier tansform (apFFT) directly and exactly. Then, after eliminating unknown atmospheric phase errors by phase-closure algorithm, the object image could be reconstructed. Compared with the traditional approach, this method can avoid frequency errors of the reflected signals from objects, because the measurement of the phase and amplitude need not depend on the signal frequency. So, it is of great advantage to applying FT to fast moving targets, such as low earth objects (LEO), because the speed errors of the targets will lead to the frequency errors of the reflected signal, which will degrade the reconstruction. Another advantage of this method is that it can eliminate the piston jitter of atmospheric aberrations and the spectrum-shift errors of acoustic-optic modulators to a certain extent, which also leads to the frequency errors of signals. The feasibility of this method is verified by computer simulation. Compared with the traditional method in two situations: the signal with noise and with frequency errors, the new method has the great ability to eliminate the frequency error while not degrading its repression of noise.

    S-CIELAB model and iCAM model are used for estimating the image quality by calculating the color difference between the original image and the distorted image. When the models is used to evaluate the image difference, the S-CIELAB model compensates for the effect of spatial scale of the human visual system. iCAM model, in addition to considering the spatial scale dependency, takes into account the effect of chromatic adaptation on colour appearance. The effectiveness and accuracy of these two kinds of models are investigated based on visual perception experiments using three images with sharp colour contrasts. The study shows that the predictions of iCAM model are more consistent with human visual performance than those of S-CIELAB model.

    The modulation transfer function (MTF) has been widely used to characterize and quantify the spatial resolution of a linear and space-invariant imaging system. Various methods have been proposed to determine the MTF of an imaging system. A new analytical line spread function (LSF) fitting model to calculate the MTF is proposed. The LSF parameters are confirmed by means of a nonlinear least-square fitting technique. Compared with previous models, the MTF estimate based on proposed model shows the lowest error in the presence of different noise. A practical application of MTF measurement in degraded image restoration also validates the accuracy of proposed method.

    For improving the lossly image coding efficiency of integer wavelet transform (IWT) based on lifting scheme, the scaling factor is used in the lifting steps. However, the scaling factor is often an irrational number, which requires three additional lifting steps to assure the integer character of transform results. They not only increase computational complexity of integer wavelet transform, but also raise the effect of rounding error on image compression. This paper presents a new image coding algorithm using optimal scaling scheme and quadtree partitioning. The new algorithm decomposes the image using integer wavelet without scaling factor and then only performs a multiplication on every subband with the new scaling factor, which reduces the computational complexity of the integer wavelet transform. During the image encoding, a new quadtree partitioning scheme is used to improve the searching efficiency of the significant coefficients. The experimental results show that the new coding algorithm has not only the well lossly compression efficiency, but also the lower computational complexity than the common IWT. This new method is valuable for future remote sensing and medical image compression.

    The principle of the radiation calibration of TDI-CCD spatial stereo camera is introduced in detail in three aspects of dark current data, relative calibration and absolute calibration. Then the process of the radiation calibration is briefly described. Finally the data measured during the calibration is disposed and analyzed. How the dark current is eliminated effectively and the method of the relative calibration in each condition is mainly illustrated. In order to effectively eliminate the dark current, a part of the direct current, two methods are compared. In the process of relative calibration, the calibration matrices are calculated after analyzing a huge number of data. And in the tolerance of the system, the most suitable matrix to any condition is optimized among many matrices. It is proved that the average deviation of any calibrated image is usually between 0.08 and 1.5 in gray value, and the maximum error is 2.80%. So the complexity of the calibrating process is decreased in the practical application, and the image processing in the later stage of the work is also simplified.

    To solve the problems of low and non-uniform resolution in catadioptric omnidirectional imaging, a novel omnidirectional sensor of complementary imaging structure is designed, by using two reflecting mirrors. Each spatial object has two imaging positions, respectively in the inner and the outer ring of captured omnidirectional images. The uniformity of resolution distribution is obviously improved due to complementary double imaging, and higher spatial resolution is achieved by limiting the vertical field of vision in a narrow range for some specific applications, such as military remote surveillance. Computational methods of the shape parameters and sizes of two mirrors are described in detail, and the mapping relations between omnidirectional image plane and cylindrical panoramic space are accurately derived based on ray tracing. Experimental results show that remarkable complementarities exist between the inner and outer ring of omnidirectional images, and detailed analysis of resolution distribution is presented. Moreover, sub-pixel sampling displacement between two image positions provides essential preconditions and foundations for further research on super-resolution reconstruction of cylindrical panoramic space.

    In order to retrieve the defocus in the optical system of airborne camera caused by the changes of temperature, pressure and other environment parameters in high altitude, focus measure algorithm based on power spectra and auto-focus search strategy are represented. Firstly, it is introduced that the power spectra of images taken from different region has the characteristic of invariance. Two betterments over the power spectra sum (PSS) focus measure function are proposed based on the main attenuation of power spectra in the high frequency. Then, full search (FS) strategy using changed steps is proposed in order to reduce the focus error caused by noise from environment. The results show that the FS strategy can locate the optimal focus position accurately when using search step length of 1 mm. The focus error is 0.3 mm which fulfills the requirement of system. The PSS proposed algorithms can indicate the defocus state of images taken by airborne camera, and it can also improve the properfies of saturation region and sensitiveness of the focus measure curve respectively. Search steps shorter than focus-depth can guarantee the validity of the result.

    Light feedback of external cavity and movement of external cavity mirror in self-mixing interference affect laser frequency. Light fields out of front and rear facets on internal cavity, frequency shift of laser and frequency of self-mixing interference signal are introduced from a model of complex resonant cavity. Frequency shift of laser and frequency spectra of self-mixing interference signal are observed in experiment. Frequency shift of laser is made up resonance frequency shift and movement frequency shift. At lower moving frequency of external cavity mirror, frequency shift of laser out of the front and rear facets are almost the same as resonance frequency shift. At higher moving frequency of external cavity mirror, frequency shift of laser out of the front and rear facets are different from each other. Frequency shift of laser out of the front facet may be dominated by movement frequency shift. Frequency of self-mixing interference signals at extremely weak feedback light is the same as Doppler frequency shift of feedback light. Frequency of self-mixing interference signal at weak feedback light vibrates sharply and its highest frequency is more than 1.6 times of Doppler frequency shift of feedback light.

    The special focal plane design and radiation calibration of Chang′e-1 satellite CCD stereo-camera are discussed. A wide-angle, telecentric and orthoscopic optical lens coupled with an area array CCD is used as a sensor in Chang′e-1 satellite CCD stereo camera to complete the three-line array self-propelling-sweeping imaging. But with the existence of shutter smear, the exposure time has some great differences between the foresight, vertical sight and back sight. It brings difficulties to the radiometric calibration. This paper presents a solution of setting up a three-slit mask in front of the CCD focal plane, which makes the three line exposure time almost the same and after the residuals in the laboratory calibration are further adjusted, good result is obtained. This paper also introduces other performances in the radiation calibration including the estimation of the shortest exposure time, the registration of the saturation radiance, the dark current noise test, the linearity of CCD pixel response and the uncertainties of relative calibration and absolute calibration.

    A new technique for determining the plastic strain ratio of sheet metal is proposed. After off-line calibration of the two cameras, digital images of the process of sheet metal surface deformation were temporally taken by the cameras so that two sets of time-synchronization image serial were obtained, the 3D shapes of sheet metal surfaces at different deformation time were reconstructed by using stereo vision and digital image correlation methods consequently. Local major and minor strains were then evaluated in terms of finite strain theory. By exploiting the approximate equality of local strains at the same moment during uniform plastic deformation, the major and minor strain were converted into the strains in length and width directions, from which r value can finally be determined. Under the experimental conditions prescribed in GB/T 5027-2007, r values of AA6016T4PD, 2A12-T4 2 and 2A12-O were determined, and the results demonstrated the proposed technique was accurate and rapid.

Global control points and measured points are set by means of optical projection. Orientation camera and orientation target fixed on measuring camera are used to solve estimation problem of measuring camera′s initial position and posture. Then the three-dimensional coordinates of measured points are retrieved based on ray bundle adjustment technique. It overcomes the limitation of existing methods that coding targets must be set on measured surface, so it can accomplish non-intrusive measurement. Experimental results show that the total root mean square (RMS) error is 0.07 mm, therefore, the principle of method is reasonable and can solve problems with high accuracy and efficiency.

    The minimum mode spot size of a three-layer dielectric optical waveguide was studied. Based on the mode-field solutions expression of Maxwell function, The influences of mode polarization, waveguide size, dielectric coefficient difference, wavelength and asymmetry on mode spot size, according to its specified definition are investigated. The analysis and simulation results indicated that there existed a minimum mode spot size (MMSS) in a three-layer dielectric optical waveguide. As to the symmetric waveguide, the MMSS of TE mode is inversely proportional to the square root of dielectric coefficient difference. However the MMSS of TM mode is dependent on the specified dielectric coefficients of waveguide and larger than that of TE mode. Both of them are proportional to the wavelength of guided wave. As to the asymmetric waveguide, the shape of mode spot is also asymmetric. The MMSS has the same dependences on dielectric coefficient difference as symmetric one. Besides, it decreases at first and then increases with the increasing of waveguide symmetry factor.

    A kind of surface plasmonic waveguide (SPW) with a double-square-shaped air core was designed. The propagation properties of the fundamental mode supported by this SPW are analyzed using the finite-difference frequency-domain method. The result shows that the longitudinal energy flux density of the fundamental mode distributes mainly in the central area of the double-square-shaped air core. Adjusting the sides of the two squares, the center to center distance of the two squares and the working wavelength, the field distribution range as well as the degree of the interaction of field with silver can be adjusted, then the effective index, propagation length and mode area of the fundamental mode can be adjusted. Compared with the SPW with a double-circle-shaped air core, it is found that the propagation properties of this kind of SPW are better than the latter within 730~800 nm working wavelength range. This double-square-shaped SPW can be applied to the field of photonic device integration and sensors.

    Tb3+, Yb3+ codoped Y2O3 (mole fraction x=0.02, 0.05, 0.1) transparent ceramics of high transparency have been prepared by vacuum sintering and the down-conversion near infrared (NIR) emission has been demonstrated upon a 484 nm excitation. The dominant energy transfer mechanism is the cooperative down-conversion from 5D4 level of one Tb3+ ion to the 2F5/2 level of two Yb3+ ions. The suppression of Tb4+ during vacuum sintering and the suppression of Yb2+ due to the nature of Y2O3 lattice, together with the large energy gap between Tb3+5D4 level and Tb4+-Yb2+ charge transfer state (CTS) and the low phonon energy of Y2O3 make the non-radiative influence from the CTS negligible. In addition, the contribution of Tb3+5D4→one Yb3+2F5/2 (non-radiative)→Yb3+2F7/2 (radiative) process to NIR emission should be little due to the large energy gap between Tb3+5D4 level and low phonon energy of Y2O3.

    Silica opal structures and photonic crystal heterostructures are fabricated by vertical deposition technique. The structures of samples are characterized by scanning electron microscopy and optical transmission spectra. The long-range order of the silica opals is confirmed by fast Fourier transform analysis of scanning electron microscopy image at different region of the same sample. The smooth decline of background in the transmission spectra of different silica opals is attributed to the contribution of scattering from the structural defects. The photonic stop band of photonic crystal heterostructures exhibits obvious broadening and flattening in contrast to the corresponding silica opals, where the effect of film thickness is considered. The positions of photonic stop band show consistency between photonic crystal heterostructures and corresponding silica opal structures. The overlap of photonic stop band in heterostructures is discussed in detail.

    A calibration model (NIRS-RBFNN) based on combination of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy and radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) has been proposed for synchronous and rapid non-destructive determination of Coriolus versicolor. Savitzky-Golay smoothing (SGS), fast Fourier transform (FFT), derivative of wavelet transformation (WT) and wavelet packet transformation (WPT) with multi-scale analysis were used to dispose the original NIRS, then principal component analysis (PCA) method is used to obtain the principal components (PC) scores. The anterior 15 PC scores were used as input data. These developed RBFNN have been optimized by selecting suitable parameters of input data, numbers of hidden layer neurons and spread constant through different pretreated spectra of calibration. The optimal quantitative analysis (NIRS-RBFNN) model for polysaccharide and protein of coriolus versicolor: for polysaccharide the optimal model is 6 scales reconstructed spectra of WPT, model parameter is WPT-NIRS-RBFNN(7-12-1, 3.2),and root mean squared error of cross validation(RMSECV) is 0.009897, Rcv=0.98357; root mean squared error of predictions(RMSEP) is 0.00909; Rp=0.98283. For Protein the optimal model is 6 scales reconstructed spectra of WPT, model parameter is WPT-NIRS-RBFNN(12-10-1, 3.0),and RMSECV is 0.00524, Rcv=0.99426; RMSEP is 0.00998; Rp=0.98246. These results show that the model has good robustness and precision and NIRS technology is convenient, rapid, no pretreatment and no pollution that this method could be popularized in the in situ measurement and the on-line quality control for coriolus versicolor.

    Dynamic characteristics of cavitation bubbles and hard tissue ablation induced by fiber-guided free-running holmium laser pulses are recorded by high-speed photography. At the same time, a needle hydrophone is used to measure shock wave signals which are emitted upon cavitation bubble collapse. Experimental results show that more than four oscillation periods of 368, 144, 56 and 40 μs, respectively, are achieved. During the oscillation process, most energy focuses on the first period and the cavitation bubble becomes more and more irregular in shape. The intensity of the four shock waves reaches 20.5×105, 12.6×105, 5.1×105 and 2.0×105 Pa, as cavitation bubble collapse, respectively. The water layer on hard tissue surface can not only enhance ablation efficiency, but also improve lubricity of ablation craters.

    As the further discussion on the ghost images in high-power laser facilities, the sensitivities of the ghost images focal positions to lens fabrication errors are analyzed based on the traditional studies. The general expression of ghost images focal length is deduced approximately, and the relation between shifts of ghost images focal position and errors of lens parameters are calculated based on the matrix optics. The numerical calculation results by taking the focal lens of the final optical assembly in SG-Ⅱ upgraded system as example indicate that the ghost images are sensitive to the lens central errors, but insensitive to the errors of curvature radius and center thickness. It can offer the reference in optical designs.

    An under-gate field emission display (FED) with a concave cathode is proposed. Ansys software is used to simulate the electric field distribution and the focus effect of electron beams. The curvature radius of a concave cathode which affects the self-focus is investigated. The results demonstrate that the concave cathode focuses electron beams which emit from cathode obviously. As the curvature radius of a concave cathode decreases, the focus effect is enhanced and the radius of spots on the anode decreases too. A 10 cm×10 cm FED with a good self-focus effect is successfully prepared using screen printing. The field emission image shows that the structure can decrease the size of spots and improve the resolution. The anode current is well modulated by a gate voltage of 100~250 V under an applied anode voltage of 600 V.

    The anisotropic optical properties for superconductor Sr2RuO4 have been studied by full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method based on density functional theory. In order to simulate the temperature effects, Lorentzian broadening (set as δ=0.20 eV) is added into optical matrix elements during the calculation in these spectra. The spectra of reflectivity R(ω), optical conductivity σ(ω) and electron energy loss have been calculated. These results consist quite well with experiments as a whole. And the optical conductivity spectrum along x-axis displays quite different features in comparison with that of z-axis. Along x-axis, σ(ω) spectrum shows an obvious Drude-like feature in low energy region while not along z-axis. The conversion between intra-band absorption and inter-band absorption appears at about 1.84 eV in the σ(ω) spectrum along x-axis. By further analysis, the anisotropy of optical properties should mainly arise from different band structure along two axes.

    The optical and electrical parameters of AC-LEDs driven by AC and DC source were tested at different alternating-current voltage, frequency and heat-sink temperature respectively. It is found that the values of luminous flux, optical power and luminous efficacy of device driven by DC source are larger than those by AC-source in the same active power. Because of thermal effects, efficiency droop and equivalent series resistances, the luminous efficacy of AC-LEDs firstly increases and then decreases with the active power increases. By changing the temperature of heat sink, the infcuence of temperatures on peak wavelength, optical power and luminous efficacy of AC-LEDs were further discussed.

    The first order radially polarized beam is with cylindrical symmetry in polarization. It is commonly thought that radial polarization leads to the best light beam focusing in terms of spot size, and the focal spot has strong longitudinal field. Using numerical calculation method, it is presented that the focal spot of radially polarized beam which is smaller than the size along polarization direction of focal spot with linear polarized beam can be obtained, if the angle between refracted light and optical axis is larger than 70°. But the size perpendicular to polarization direction of focal spot with linear polarized beam is always smaller than that of radially polarized beam. In addition, it can lead to the smaller focal spot of radially polarized beam when an annular aperture diaphragm is inserted in optical path. But this method is not suitable for the situation of linearly polarized beam along polarization direction.

    The entanglement dynamics of the multipartite open system is investigated, which is arranged in such a way that two atoms are coupled to a common non-Markovian reservoir and another two atoms are embedded in the other remote non-Markovian reservoir. The results show that the initial entanglement of two atoms can transfer to another two separated atoms, the two reservoirs have an intermediate effects in the transfer process. Through studying the pairwise concurrence entanglement in the multipartite open system, it is also found that the initial entanglement can cause the phenomenon of entanglement sudden death under certain condition, and the simultaneous entanglement sudden birth would appear in another separated atoms and the two reservoirs.

    Quantum coherence of a Λ-three-level scheme driven by two coupling fields is investigated. By sloving density matrix motion equations under dipole approximation and rotating wave approximation, numerical results are obtained. It is shown that the probe absorption spectrum has amplification as well as absorption when both coupling fields are resonant with corresponding resonant transitions, and it exhibits the superposition of double electromeqnetic induced absorption (EIA) and Mollow profile. The dependence of the position and intensity of the double EIA and Mollow profile on Rabi frequency of two coupling fields is investigated.The results can be accounted for dressed-state formalism. Therefore, EIA and Mollow frequency tuning can be performed by changing the intensity of the coupling fields.

    A four-level system in Eu3+Y2SiO5 crystal is obtained through coupling a hyperfine level with a radio-frequency field. The absorption properties of this four-level system driven by a radio-frequency field are investigated by means of density matrix equation of motion. It is shown that the two contrary quantum effects, electromagneticically induced transparency (EIT) and electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA) can be obtained in the absorption spectrum of the system due to the interaction of both optical coupling and radio-frequency fields. When radio-frequency field resonates with corresponding levels, EIT effect presents within two-peak area of Autler-Townes splitting caused by radio-frequency field. But nonresonant radio-frequency field can cause EIA. The positions of EIT and EIA are determined by the detuning of optical coupling field. The linewidth, position and conversion of EIT and EIA can be controlled by changing detuning, Rabi frequency of optical coupling and radio-frequency fields.

    The growth and spectroscopic properties of Tm3+Sr3La2(BO3)4 crystal are reported. Based on Judd-Ofelt theory, the intensity parameters are calculated to be Ω2=4.46×10-20 cm2, Ω4=3.18×10-20 cm2, and Ω6=1.88×10-20 cm2 according to the absorption spectrum. The emission cross section for the 3F4→3H6 transition are estimated to be 0.694×10-20 cm2 at 1.82 μm by the reciprocity method according to the absorption cross section, and the relation between gain cross section and the population inversion rate for the 3F4→3H6 transition is discussed. Compared with the other Tm3+-doped materials, Sr3La2(BO3)4 crystal has a larger emission cross section and wider tuning range. Therefore, Sr3La2(BO3)4 crystal may be a potential tunable near-infrared laser crystal.

    One of the most important issues in biomedical research is in vivo fluorescence-based multispectral imaging, but quantitative image analysis has been generally perturbed by the cross talk problem of fluorescence signals and significant autofluorescence problem of tissues. Spectral unmixing is a useful technique in multispectral fluorescence imaging for reducing the effects of native tissue autofluorescence and separating multiple fluorescence probes in vivio. While spectral unmixing methods are well established in fluorescence microscopy, which typically rely on precharacterized spectra for each fluorophore. A spectral unmixing algorithm tailored for in vivo optical imaging that is able to find the signal distribution and the pure spectrum of each component is introduced. It is derived from multivariate curve resolution-alternative least square (MCR-ALS) method using multiple constraints such as nonnegative, equality, closure, unimodal, spectral range and normalization. The signal distribution maps help to separate autofluorescence from other probes in the raw images and hence provide better quantification and localization for each probe. The test of mixed spectral samples with abundance fractions generated by Dirichlet distribution demonstrates that the algorithm is robust with different noises and pure spectral. And a quantum dots mouse multispectral fluorescence image has convinced this method.

    Based on the feature of the (NIR) spectra, this paper analyses the method of wavelength selection using the partial least squaresc (PLS) regression coefficients and points out the existing problems, then proposes a new method for selecting wavelengths. It normalizes the PLS regression coefficients into the probability of the selected corresponding wavelengths, then a Monte-Carlo simulation based on the aforementioned probability is calculated. Some PLS models are constructed and evaluated using different random wavelengths combinations. The model with minimum predictive error is retained and the corresponding wavelength combinations are selected. This procedure can be iterated using the previous selected wavelengths to select fewer and fewer wavelengths. This method is tested on 3 NIR datasets and compared with the PLS-based uninformative variable elimination (UVE-PLS) and genetic algorithm (GA). Experimental results show that this method could select fewer wavelengths without sacrificing the complexity and predictive ability of the PLS model and could effectively improve the accuracy and stability of the wavelength selection.

    Nitrate radical plays (NO3) an important role in the nighttime atmosphere. By using direct moonlight as light source, a passive differential optical absorption spetroscopy (DOAS) system with automatic star-finder system and CCD spectrometer, is developed to measure the nighttime NO3 vertical column abundance of NO3. Water vapor cross section is calculated using a line-by-line approach with considering the dependence of cross section on the temperature and water vapor amounts. By using air mass factor(AMF), the vertical column density (VCD) of NO3 radical is converted from slant column density (SCD). The max value of SCD is under 1.7×1014 molecule/cm2. As the sun rises, the observed column abundance decreases rapidly.

    Applying crystal field theory and irreducible representation method, the completely diagonalized Hamiltonian matrices of 3d8 ion configurations in the trigonal symmetry sites have been established, which include four kinds of microscopic magnetic interactions: spin-orbit interaction, spin-spin interaction, spin-other-orbit interaction and orbit-orbit interaction. Based on the matries, spectral fine structure and zero-field splitting parameters of LiNbO3Ni2+ crystall are calculated. Jahn-Teller effect, and effects of four microscopic magnetic interoctions on crystal spectral and zero-field splitting parameter are investigated. The results show that Jahn-Teller effect exists in this crystal and spin-orbit interaction makes uppermost contribution to energy level and zero-field splitting parameters while calculated values will be closer to the experimental values when the other three interactions are taken into account.

    The evaluation function of multi-layer optical thin film systems is a complex nonlinear multi-modal function. Traditional numerical methods could hardly obtain global extreme when the properties of evaluation function are unknown, with calculation of instability and low efficiency. Simulated annealing algorithm (SAA) exhibites some advantages such as high efficiency, less restricted by the initial solution and ability of obtaining global extreme. This is because SAA acceptes the optimized solution and part of the poor solution at the same time. General simulated annealing algorithm is improved by adding heating and memory module. Improved algorithm could select the initial value of control parameters more reasonably and memorize the optimal solution ever encountered in search process. Thus the ability to jump out of local optimum “trap” is improved accordingly. Antireflective film, neutral spectroscope and 10.4 μm long-wave pass filter desiged by improved algorithm, the value of evaluation function is decreased by 77.6%, 31.9%, 96.2% respectively. Film system has good spectral characteristic and more flat transmittance curves.
