For laser of the long pulses, short pulses and continuous wave with circular polarization, the effect of atmospheric turbulence on the return photons number of sodium laser beacon is studied by numerical simulation method of light propagation under the Greenwood and Hufnagel-valley5/7 (HV5/7) model for atmospheric turbulence. Results indicate that compared with Greenwood model under the HV4/7 model, the atmospheric turbulence causes the further dispersive distribution of laser intensity in the mesosphere and the reduced peak intensity, and return photons number is increased for laser of long pulses and continuous wave with circular polarization. However, the circularly-polarized short pulses cannot get more return photons under the HV5/7 model for atmospheric turbulence. Furthermore, the distribution of photons number exited by the circularly-polarized short pulses and continuous-wave laser is in an agreement with the distribution of laser intensity, but the long pulses are in absence of this character.

    With the classical ensemble model, carrier envelope phase (CEP), which is dependent strong-field double ionization (DI) of xenon atoms by elliptically polarized laser pulses, is investigated. The results show that the momentum distributions of Xe2+ ion strongly depend on CEP. Sequential double ionization (SDI) and nonsequential double ionization (NSDI) of final state exist simultaneously in DI events with this laser field. The yield of SDI decreases firstly, then increases as CEP increases. But the yield of NSDI increases firstly, then decreases as CEP increases. The yields of SDI and NSDI both show a periodic change, and the period is π. Analysis of trajectories shows that the events of NSDI occur still via recollision, and this process can be interpreted well through the three-step model. In addition, the ionization time of two electrons in SDI and the recollision time in NSDI strongly depend on CEP which leads the final-state momentum distribution of Xe2+ ion changes with CEP.

    Based on the theory of partially coherent light, this article studies the influence of the spatial coherence of incoherent monochromatic LED light source on the generation of Bessel beam. When the partially coherent light goes through an axicon, higher-order Bessel functions appear in the light intensity distribution, and the light intensity is the linear superposition of each-order Bessel functions. Light intensity distributions are numerically simulated. The result shows that the shorter initial coherent length is, the greater the effect of high-order derivatives is, and more obvious the difference between Bessel beam and the ideal Bessel is, and that the light intensity is non-zero in dark rings and section of light distributions is fuzzier. Through an experimental setup that can regulate initial coherent length of light, nearly ideal Bessel beam is generated. The experimental results agree with theoretical analysis.

    Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical network is the direction of the airborne network development. The combination of wavelength routing and electric exchange is the main method to complete the airborne WDM optical network interconnection currently. One of the cruxes is how the airborne network node is subnetted. The large traffic distribution of mutual communication between the nodes is assigned to the same subnet, employing the wavelength routing transmission; the low traffic distribution of mutual communication between the nodes is interconnected by electric exchange. Based on clustering algorithm in multidimensional space, the node traffic distribution problem is converted into spatial clustering problem, which completes node location preprocessing and node flux-location clustering to solve the airborne WDM network subnet partition, and it finally verifies the feasibility of the method through examples.

    A radio over fiber (ROF) system is a product of the broad band and wireless in the communication industry. It combines the optical fiber communication technology and millimeter-wave communication technology, and has a broad application prospect. At present many countries mark off unlicensed continuous-frequency spectra in 60 GHz millimeter wave frequency band, which makes 60 GHz millimeter-wave wireless communication become one of the hot researches in the field of close wireless communication. In order to reduce the cost of a ROF system and improve its performance, an improved 60 GHz millimeter-wave generator based on feed-forward modulation (FFM) technique is proposed. The principle of the photoelectric device is analysed and the effect of different parameters setting in the performance of the system curve is simulated. The scheme combines with the advantages of forward modulation technology and light wavelength division multiplexing technology. It simplifies the complexity of the system, reduces the cost of the ROF system, reduces the error rate and improves the performance of the whole system.

    The phase modulator is used to increase the threshold of the stimulated Brillouin scattering. Effects of modulation depth and frequency on the threshold are analyzed. The increase of the threshold is determined by the modulation depth which is related to the half-wave voltage. A heterodyne method to measure the half-wave voltage of the phase modulator is proposed in order to determine the modulation depth. The results of the experiments demonstrate that the half-wave voltage is 3.7 V when modulation frequency is 50 MHz. The variation of the stimulated Brillouin scattering threshold are researched through experiments when the modulation frequency is 50 MHz and modulation depth is 1.435 and 2.631. Results show that the threshold increases 6.7 dB when modulation depth is 2.631, which matches the theoretic calculation. High threshold is obtained with low power and low modulation frequency.

    Laser is always affected by atmospheric turbulence in atmosphere transmission, and channel estimation will become more difficult at poor atmospheric condition. According to Chadi Abou-Rjeily′s coding idea, introducing permutation matrix instead of negative form of symbols in the real area Alamouti method, utilizing binary pulse position modulation, a differential space-time code scheme that does not require channel estimates for free space optical communication is proposed. The simulation results show that, compared with Alamouti coding which requires channel estimates, this method can obtain the same diversity gain. At the same time, it is relatively simple and more feasible in practice.

    A tunable reflection type band-rejection optical filter based on capillary filled with liquid instead of multimode fiber is projected. The active component of the structure of filtering is a segment of capillary filling liquid and Hg. One end of the capillary is docked co-axial with a single-mode fiber and the other end is sealed with hot melt adhesive. Refractive index of liquid is greater than the capillary refractive index and the capillary core diameter is larger, so there is equivalent to the formation of a large core diameter multimode fiber. On the basis of the multi-mode interference principle, because the capillary liquid core is sensitive to the temperature, the tunable optical filtering is achieved. Simulation and experiment confirm the feasibility of the theory. The filter has some advantages, such as simple structure, low cost and so on, for which insertion loss is 5.12 dB, 3 dB bandwidth is 3.3 nm and the filtering range is up to 7 nm.

    An embedded multi-core hollow high birefringence fiber is designed and fabricated. Since the structure of the optical fiber core and the cladding is geometric asymmetric, it has high birefringence characteristic which can be used to overcome the problems of the polarization-induced fading of the fiber integrated interferometer. Using the finite element method to analyze the mode birefringence changes in different sizes, it can be concluded that increasing the length of the major axis of the core, or reducing the thickness of the inner cladding can effectively improve the birefringence. And the mode birefringence of 1.42×10-4 at 1310 nm is obtained. Experimental and analytical results show that the embedded multi-core hollow high birefringence fiber has a certain potential in in-fiber integrated interferometers for reducing polarization-induced fading and can be used to manufacture in-fiber integrated interferometer with polarization-maintaining function.

    In coherent detection system, the matching of signal beam and local oscillator and the beam characteristic have important effects on the detection efficiency. The light-intensity distributions of Gaussian beam and flattop beam are simulated in Matlab respectively, and the mathematical feature of the two spots are provided. Based on the acousto-optic deflection effect, the effect of spot size matching and signal beam parallel moving along light axis on the coherent detection efficiency is analyzed by building overlay model between Gaussian beam and rectangle beam. The results show that, with the assurance of beam collimation and equivalence in the total energy of two spots, we can get the optimal overlapping efficiency of 79.6% when the energy density of rectangle spot is 0.8 times as the central energy density of Gaussian spot. The non-collimation of the beams will reduce the detection efficiency when the signal beam is mixed with the local-oscillator beam on the optoelectronic sensor surface. But while rectangle beam is mixed with Gaussian beam, the variation of detection efficiency tends to become gentle when beams deviate from optic axis within ±0.5 mm.

    A target detection method for passive terahertz images is put forward. Original 0.22 THz images are captured using pre-developed passive scan imaging system. The original images are de-noised by spatial filtering. Then the point spread function of the imaging system is measured through pinhole images analysis, and is applied to reconstruct the images with the Lucy-Richardson iterative algorithm. Finally, gray level transform and edge detection are adopted to improve the images′ contrast and resolution capability. Experimental results show that the proposed method is able to effectively improve passive terahertz images′ quality and enhance the imaging system′s ability of detecting hidden suspicious objects.

    The effect of spectral-line shift on radiometric measurement accuracy of spaceborne imaging spectrometer during laboratory radiometric calibration, onboard radiometric calibration and onboard radiometric measurement is analyzed. Radiometric transmission model from laboratory radiometric calibration to onboard radiometric measurement has been established, and relationship between the uncertainty of radiometric measurement on entrance pupil and spectral-line shift is simulated. Results show that radiometric measurement error is linear to spectral-line shift and radiance distribution gradient on entrance pupil of imaging spectrometer. The radiometric measurement error caused by spectral width deviation is one order of magnitude larger than that caused by central wavelength deviation. For a typical imaging spectrometer [10 nm spectral width in visible near infrared spectroscopy (VNIR) band and 20 nm in shortwave infrared (SWIR) band], central wavelength deviation is less than 2 nm and spectral width deviation is less than 0.1 nm in VNIR band, or central wavelength deviation is less than 3 nm and spectral width deviation is less than 0.1 nm in SWIR band, which is necessary to ensure the uncertainty of radiometric measurement caused by spectral line-shift less than 6% and absolute accuracy of radiometric measurement on entrance pupil is superior to 10%.

    Stokes ellipsometer can measure the optical parameters of thin films rapidly. The precision of the instrument matrix of Stokes ellipsometer directly affects the measurement of the Stokes parameters of the light reflected by films and indirectly limits the measurement accuracy of the optical parameters of films. It is studied that how to generate elliptically polarized light with a combination of linearly polarized light and standard films theoretically. According to the four-point calibration method, the instrument matrix with combination of linearly polarized light and standard films in place are calculated, and the errors caused by the azimuth of optical components and its defects in traditional calibration methods are avoided effectively, thereby improving measurement accuracy of the optical parameters of thin films.

    The performance of pulsed laser ranging is directly influenced by the method how to measure the time-interval. Refer to the idea of interpolation time-interval measurement, the character of triangle reference signal is used to realize measurement on time-interval which has advantages of long measurement range and high precision. The principle how to use triangle reference signal to realize measurement on time-interval is described. The factors that affect the precision of time-interval measurement is quantitatively analyzed. It is pointed out that the frequency of triangle reference signal and the noise attached in triangle reference signal are the two main factors which affect the precision of time-interval measurement. Then, their affect on the precision of time-interval measurement is numerically simulated. A confirmatory experiment is designed to explain how the noise attached in triangle reference signal affects the precision of time-interval measurement. Both the numerical simulation and the experimental result show that the method of measurement on time-interval in pulsed laser ranging which uses low frequency triangle reference signal can achieve high precision. Besides, both improving the frequency of triangle reference signal and reducing the noise attached in triangle reference signal can effectively improve the precision of time-interval measurement.The numerical simulation and experimental results also confirm the feasibility of measurement on time-interval on pulsed laser ranging.

    Based on the diffraction theory, the specific beam structure and optics wavefront data of the SG-II updated laser facility, a calculation model of the wavefront propagation for the facility is established. Using the calculation model some important data for design and operation of the facility are gained, including the corrected profile of deformed mirror, dynamic wavefront aberration of the amplifier, wavefront aberration and focus of the spatial filter, which are difficult to get by experiment. Analysis and comparison under three types of conventional operation, such as static propagation, static propagation and large energy shot with adaptive wavefront correction, indicates that the theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental data. And the wavefront propagation of large energy shot in absence of the adaptive wavefront correction is calculated. The wavefront propagation model can be used to improve design of the related devices, optimize operation and control mode of the laser facility, and improve wavefront quality of the output laser beam.

    The disturbance and damages of TEA-CO2 laser to HgCdTe imaging sensor are researched experimentally and theoretically. The saturation of pixels of the HgCdTe detector just appears inside the facula when the energy density on it is less than 255 mJ/cm2. Pixels are damaged when the energy density is 425.8 mJ/cm2, and a dispersed spot and a dark ring are observed. By the simulation of the HgCdTe detector under CO2 laser irradiation, the temperature distribution of the detector is calculated. The relationship among temperature-rise, carrier density and mobility of the detector is discussed. The dispersed spot occurs because of free carriers excited by heat diffuse under carrier density grades. The dark ring appears because of both of the mobility changing and carrier density diffusing. Hg atoms separate out from the detector due to their high temperatures, resulting in the pixels damage.

The measurement of transmission wave-front of slab gain module under different power extraction status is finished through changing the parameters of the resonator. The experiments indicate that the power extraction status influences the transmission wave-front of slab evidently. Compared with the plano-concave resonator and the asymmetric output plano-plano resonator, the transmission wave-front distortion of the slab gain module is the minimal with the symmetrical output plano-plano resonator, the peak-to-valley (PV) value of the wave-front distortion is less than 1.5 μm when the pumping power is 10.8 kW.

    A stereo matching algorithm based on spherical perspective projection model for fisheye images which have severe distortions and a large field of view with 180° is presented. Only estimating the focal length and the principal point of two fisheye images, all feature points on two fisheye images are first projected onto two spherical perspective images. Then rotation matrix and translation vector between two spherical perspective images are computed to find two corresponding spherical image patches, which are mapped into two fisheye images. And these estimated parameters are refined through minimizing the re-projected error of all feature points on the spherical perspective images. The corrected correspondence points between two fisheye images are determined through the refined rotation and translation. Experiments with real fisheye images show that this method has satisfactory matching results for the severely distorted fisheye images.

    A three-dimensional (3D) data registration method based on planar circular target is proposed to solve the problem of 3D data registration in the vision measurement of large-scale object surface profile. With the planar circular target placed in front of the measured object, 3D vision system takes photographs of planar circular target at adjacent measurement positions. Then the planar circular target is used as an intermediary, and registration of 3D measurement data from adjacent measurement positions is achieved by establishing correspondence between edge points in circle. As shown in experiments, the data registration root mean square (RMS) error of x, y and z, with considerable accuracy of the planar grid target method, is 0.06, 0.03 and 0.134 mm respectively. When the measured object is partly occluded, the data registration RMS error of x, y and z is 0.06, 0.03 and 0.168 mm respectively. While the method of planar grid target fails to registration because of mismatch of 3D grid data.

    Crystal structure and electronic and optical properties of LaBr3 under high pressure are systematically investigated by first-principles method within the local-density approximation (LDA). The calculated lattice parameters and bulk modulus are in good agreement with the experimental data reported. The results of the band structure calculation show that LaBr3 is a direct-band-gap insulator without pressure, and the top of the valence band is mainly composed of Br 4p states while the lower part of the conduction band is dominated by the La 5d states. Under high pressure, LaBr3 gradually transforms into an indirect-band-gap insulator while the band gap presents a basically linear reduction trend with the increase of pressure. Analysis of the optical properties shows that the transmittance of LaBr3 reaches 80% in the visible and infrared region, indicating that LaBr3 is an ideal transparent material. With the increase of pressure, two higher peaks of the imaginary part of the dielectric function, the optical absorption edge and the optical transmittance edge are red-shifted. Furthermore, the static dielectric constant, the refractive index and the reflectivity of LaBr3 increase gradually. In a word, the involved results show that the high pressure effectively modulates the electronic structure and optical properties of LaBr3, which can provide a theoretical basis for the design and application of LaBr3 optoelectronic materials.

    In spectral domain optical coherence tomographic system, group velocity dispersion of broadband light source reduces axial resolution and leads to the decrease of image resolution and contrast. The decline of axial resolution of spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) caused by dispersion is analyzed and a method based on spectrum correction to improve axial resolution of spectral domain optical coherence tomography is proposed. Spectrum coordinate is processed by second-order coefficients fitting. The coefficients are got by three-step threshold iteration. The axial depth is demodulated by the corrected spectrum. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography experiments of single-layer thin glass and tomato epidermis tissue show that, compared with traditional method, the axial resolution is improved more than 10 μm and resolution of the two-dimensional tomogram is higher. It is generally applicative for different samples.

    A region-labeling approach of image reconstruction under continuous-wave mode is developed for “coarse-grain” diffuse optical tomography (DOT). The method is based on the framework of the pixel-based DOT methodology and on an assumption that different anatomical regions have their respective sets of homogeneous optical parameter distributions. The proposed scheme is validated using a three-dimensional (3D) digital mouse atlas, the optical parameters of the organs could be simultaneously reconstructed at 60 dB, 40 dB and 20 dB noise levels. Physical experiments on a phantom are also conducted to evaluate the performance of the method. The reconstructed results show that the region-labeling DOT solution greatly improves the ill-posedness of the inverse problem as well as the imaging resolution and quantitative accuracy by reducing the number of unknowns to be reconstructed. The homogeneous optical parameters of each region can be reconstructed from noisy data.

    A satellite-borne solar spectrometer with wide spectral coverage is designed to routinely monitor the long-term variability of solar spectral irradiance (SSI) outside the atmosphere. The instrument employs only one prism with curved surfaces for the dispersion of solar spectrum from 250 nm to 2500 nm, which are scanned simultaneously by several detectors on the focal plane as the prism rotates. The spectral response function (SRF) and spectral resolution of the instrument are also simulated based on Huygens wavelet point spread function (PSF). The tangential aberration of all the wavelengths is smaller than 8 μm at each prism rotation angle within ±2.5°. The wavelength resolution is 0.7~3.5 nm in ultraviolet region (250~400 nm), 3.5~35.0 nm in visual/near-infrared (400~1000 nm) and 28.5~41.2 nm in short-wave infrared (1000~2500 nm). The structure of the system is simple and compact, and the performance is stable and reliable. The spectral dispersion and aberration correction capacity satisfy demand of the long-term measurement of SSI at the top of atmosphere.

    Limited by the contrary relationship of the focal depth and the focal size, it is hard to enlarge the fabrication depth while keeping high resolution for laser processing. To solve this problem, a design method for realizing Fresnel lens with long focal depth and small focal size by phase sampling and combination is proposed. A laser processing lens for drilling holes on paper with aperture of 11 mm and center focal length of 47 mm, working at the wavelength of 10.6 μm, is designed by using a homemade program. Then it is fabricated and tested. The experiment results show that, compared with traditional lens with the same aperture, this lens has a 2 times longer focal depth, and the focal size is similar to that of the traditional lens along the entire focal depth. This lens is simple to realize and it provides a feasible way to achieve long focal depth and high resolution synchronously. The advantages make it with great application potential in the field of laser processing.

    Lithium niobate (LN) ridge waveguides have recently attracted considerable attention, and they are usually fabricated by etching LN channel or slab waveguides prepared by Ti indiffusion or proton exchange. The field profile of the fundamental transverse electric (TE) mode guided in each of the two LN ridge waveguides converted from the Ti-indiffused channel and slab waveguides is simulated at 1550 nm wavelength. The simulation results indicate that the LN slab waveguide can offer the resulting ridge structure a stronger confinement of the TE mode as compared with the channel waveguide made under the same Ti-indiffusing conditions. The strong confinement of the guided mode allows for miniaturizing the LN-based photonic devices and for enhancing the electro-optical overlapping factor. It is also simple to fabricate the ridge structure from LN slab waveguides. On the other hand, Ti-indiffused LN slab waveguides are prepared, on which a chromium layer with a pattern of Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) array is fabricated by the micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) process. The ridge waveguide MZI array is realized by reactive ion etching of the slab LN waveguide in the SF6 atmosphere. Investigations by scanning electron microscopy reveal that the prepared LN ridge waveguides have a ridge height of 670 nm and an isosceles trapezoid cross section and their sidefaces are rather coarse.

    The flexoelectric effect has an influence on the distribution of liquid crystal in the strong anchoring hybrid-aligned nematic (HAN) liquid crystal cell, which can be measured by the improved full-leaky guided mode technique of liquid crystal. Based on the multi-layer optical theory and the elastic theory of liquid crystal, the variation curves between the reflectivity and transmittance of the full-leaky liquid crystal waveguide due to the strong anchoring hybrid-aligned nematic liquid crystal and the internal angle (the angle of incidence for which light is incident on the liquid crystal layer) are calculated theoretically, by which the influence of flexoelectric effect is analyzed. For different sign of the flexoelectric coefficient such as negative or positive, the variation curves of reflectivity or transmittance of the full-leaky liquid crystal waveguide will move a distance to the left or the right relative to the case of ignoring the flexoelectric effect, and the moved distance will vary with the different flexoelectric coefficients. The flexoelectric coefficients can be known from the moved distance, which provides the theoretical basis for determining the flexoelectric coefficients.

    Current optimization of measurement matrix of compressive sensing is optimization beforehand by using the same matrix in measurement and reconstruction stages. Transition matrix and optimization algorithm mainly based on row transformation are proposed to separate the measurement matrix and reconstruction matrix of compressive sensing. 0-1 sparse matrix of single-pixel camera is adopted during measurement, while approximate matrix is adopted during reconstruction. It is a kind of afterwards optimization method of measurement data and measurement matrix, different from traditional thinking. Theory analysis and experiment results demonstrate that the characteristics of optimal matrix are better than circulant sparse matrix, and approximate matrix and optimal matrix have similar characteristics. The research results reduce the difficulty of engineering design and implementation of measurement matrix.

    As the Fresnel-Kirchhoff diffraction formula and the first and second solution of Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction formulae coexist in the scalar diffraction integral formulae system, it is difficult to judge which one is the best. For the sake of comparing three diffraction formulae, the specialties of small diffracted source and far field diffraction are employed to simplify three diffraction formulae, the expressions of the scalar far field total powers in observation plane and vector far field total powers in observation hemisphere are presented. Based on the convergence of integrand, the applicable scopes of three diffraction formulae are introduced. And using the total power of diffracted source as standard, the computational precisions of the diffraction formulae are clarified. The analysis results indicate that, for the hypothesis of scalar diffraction field, three diffraction formulae are suitable for computing the paraxial scalar diffraction beam, but only the first solution of Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction formula is appropriate for computing the non-paraxial diffraction beam. For the nature of vector diffraction field, three diffraction formulae are applicable for computing the paraxial and non-paraxial vector diffraction beam. Hereinto, for the normal incident plane wave diffracted by small circular aperture, the absolute value of relative calculated error of the far field total power which is computed by the second solution of Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction formula is the least.

    Continuous variable entangled state of light with quantum correlation in quadrature amplitude and quadrature phase is the key resource to realize quantum information and quantum computation processing. With the rapid development of quantum information and quantum computation, correlation degrees of entangled state of lights have to be enhanced to match the requirement of high-quality information transfer and high-efficiency quantum computation. Continuous variable entanglement enhancement is an efficient method for the generation of entangled state of light with high entangled degree. The relation between the continuous variable entanglement enhancement and the experimental parameters of non-degenerate optical parametric amplifier is calculated. The influence of these experimental parameters on the entanglement enhancement is also discussed. This provides the direct references for optimizing the continuous variable entanglement enhancement system consisting of non-degenerate optical parametric amplifier.

    A novel acceleration sensor based on laser self-mixing interference is proposed. The structure and principle of the accelerometer are introduced. The influence of different factors on its resolution and their influencing mechanism are analyzed. The pendulous reed supported by dual flexible beam is used as the first step sensing unit. When an inertial force due to acceleration is applied in the pendulous reed, a displacement proportional to the acceleration occurrs to the pendulous reed, which changes the length of external cavity. The phase of self-mixing interference signals generated by laser which is modulated by sawtooth-wave current is a function of acceleration. All-phase spectrum analysis is applied to detect the phase of self-mixing interference signals to reconstruct the displacement of the pendulous reed and the acceleration. A simulation model of the acceleration sensor is established. The simulation results show that the scheme is feasible. Its performances are measured through experiments. Experimental results show that the resolution of the acceleration sensor is 0.19 μg, which consistant with the retical analysis. The acceleration sensor based on laser self-mixing interference can achieve a high resolution.

    The sensitivity enhancement effect of microtube coated with a dielectric layer on the inner surface is presented. The simulations of mode-field distribution and senstivity are carried out for thin wall microtubes and thick wall microtubes with an established four-layer ring structure model. The results show that optical field energy in the core of the microtube can be increased when a dielectric layer with high refractive index is coated on the inner wall surface of the microtube, thus the sensitivity is enhanced. The sensitivity of the 1st-order radial mode of the thin wall microtube and the high-order radial mode of the thick wall microtube are enhanced by 65 and 302 times, respectively. The refractive-index sensing sensitivity of the high-order radial mode will experience multiple peaks accompanying with the thickness change of the dielectric layer, which is analyzed from the view of geometrical optics.

    Raman signal, especially signal from living organisms, sometimes is interfered so seriously by the background fluorescence that it is too complex to get good result. According to the characteristics of fluorescence background, a new fluorescent background method based on min-max signal adaptive zooming is developed. To verify the feasibility of this method, two ways are used: one is the relation between peak intensity and concentration, the other is the relation between single spectrum and mixed spectra. Compared to the traditional fluorescent background elimination (polynomial fitting baseline correction), the results show that this method is highly feasible and superior to the traditional method. To image the 2D, 3D blood distribution in mice ear tissue in vivo, the peak at 1549 cm-1 which is one of characteristic peaks of hemoglobin is selected. By comparing the image results generated by this new method with the former process way, the results show this method can optimize the Raman spectral data, especially for low-density Raman characteristic peaks, so the imaging results are better.

    The method of differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) is applied to the retrieval of ammonia concentration. Genetic algorithm, wavelet transform and Kalman filtering are all studied to show the inversion accuracy of low-concentration ammonia based on the traditional DOAS algorithm. The results show that all the three algorithms have good denoise performance for ammonia absorption spectrum with low SNR. In the case of ammonia concentration lower than 7.6 mg/m3, the inversion accuracy for three improved algorithms is obviously improved compared with the traditional algorithm. Standard deviation and peak to peak value of the differential absorbance residuals based on Kalman filtering combining traditional polynomial fitting are 0.1349% and 0.6132%, respectively, which shows the best performace. The measurement error is within ±0.3%.

    In a deposition system containing a planar planetary substrate holder, models for film thickness distribution without and with shadowing mask are developed. The shadowing mask optimized by numerical computation method is applied to achieve good thickness uniformity, while the deposition efficiency of the evaporated material is taken into consideration in the optimization. Experimentally, the theoretically designed shadowing mask is used to control the thickness distribution of the MgF2 coatings deposited by electron beam evaporation on a flat substrate with a planar planetary system. Uniformity measurements based on the reflection spectra of single layer MgF2 films demonstrate that uniformities is better than 99.6%, while the deposition efficiency of the evaporated material is higher than 87.4%.

    According to the robust design method of multilayer optical coatings based on layer errors sensitivity control concept, the spectral characteristics responding to layer parameters errors are researched comparatively within three different application solutions of a high-performance thin-film polarizing beam splitter (PBS) in a novel orthogonal polarized dual-frequency laser. The inherent factor of film errors sensitivity of laser PBS is found by elaborately arranged numerical robust design experiments. A low layer errors sensitivity thin-film structure is robust designed for the high-performance laser PBS with moderate layer number and easy-manufacturable layer thicknesses. This PBS design solution is very suitable for mass production at low cost and high yield, which will play a positive role in the development, engineering and application of the orthogonal polarized dual-frequency laser.
