The optical phased array consisting of multilevel GaAs/AlGaAs waveguides is analyzed in simulation and experiment. With the help of a novel photon design and simulation software,the finite element method and 2.5-dimensional finite-different time-domain (FDTD) are used to simulate the electrical and optical properties of the device respectively. The results indicate that the built-in electric field of the waveguide core has an influence on the total electric field and the property of emerging beam. The built-in electric field is up to 2.53×106 V/m with the p-i-n structure. The phase modulation is up to 2π with a reversed bias voltage (-10 V) applied to the device with 2416 μm long. Basing on single-mode structure, the coupling effect between adjacent cores is also taken into consideration. The influence of refractive index difference on the coupling length is also demonstrated and the proper effective index difference of 0.1 is given.

    The Airy pulse dispersion effect by the split-step Fourier transform method (SSFM) is sumulated and analyzed. The wave transmission characteristic of Airy pulse under second and third-order dispersion effects in temporal domain is discussed. Furthermore, the influence of the initial chirp and weakly nonlinear effects is studied. The results show that the positive third-order dispersion effect leads to pulse compression and amplitude increase. On the other hand, the negative third-order dispersion effects leads to pulse broadening and amplitude decrease. When taking the effect of the initial chirp and weakly nonlinear effects into account. It is found that as the third-order dispersion effects growing, the quality of Airy pulse reduces.

    Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, the analytical expression for the coherence degree of partially coherent annular beams propagating through oceanic turbulence is derived. The changes of the coherence degree and the width of the coherence degree of partially coherent annular beams versus the propagation distance, the oceanic turbulence parameters and the beam parameters are investigated in detail. It is shown that the oscillatory behavior of the coherence degree may appear with partially coherent annular beams propagating in free space or weak oceanic turbulence, but the coherence degree takes a Gaussian-like profile as the strength of oceanic turbulence increases. On the other hand, under weak oceanic turbulence condition, the width of the coherence degree reaches a maximum at a certain propagation distance, which depends on the obscure ratio and the correlation parameter of annular beams. However, under strong oceanic turbulence condition, the coherence degree is nearly independent of the obscure ratio and the correlation parameter of annular beams. The results are useful for applications of partially coherent annular beams in oceanic turbulence.

    With the purpose of comparing the differences of reflective index structure constant measured from angle of arrival and from scintillation effects, an experiment of laser propagation in atmosphere is conducted at a distance of 890 meters in the horizontal path. Scintillation index and variance of angle of arrival fluctuations are applied respectively to deduce the refractive-index structure constant in weak turbulence. The measurement results indicate that there are some differences between the two results, but the overall trends remain the same. The reason for the differences is analyzed quantitatively from two perspectives: the frequency response characteristic of refractive index fluctuation and the effect of the change of inner and outer scales on measuring. The simulation results show that scintillation is more easily affected by large scale turbulent vortexes, but angle of arrival (AOA) fluctuation is more sensitive to small turbulent vortexes. The change of inner scale has a greater influence on the result of scintillation measuring; while the change of outer scale has a larger effect on the result of the arrival-angle fluctuations measuring. The result of the arrival-angle fluctuation measuring reflects the change of large scale turbulent fields, while the result of scintillation measuring reflects small scale turbulent fields.

    As one of most important atmospheric turbulence simulator, hot air convection atmospheric turbulence simulator has been widely used in many areas. It can simulate scintillation, phase fluctuations, angle-of-arrival, beam expander and beam wander caused by atmospheric turbulence. 532, 808, 1064, 1550 nm lasers transmiting, receiving and measuring device have been used to calibrate the coherence length, refractive index structure constant, equivalent scintillation index,and the spectral characteristics and probability density distribution characteristics of the scintillation and the angle-of-arrival. Experimental results show that the range of atmospheric turbulence coherence length obtained by atmospheric turbulence simulator is 5~20 cm. The maximum C2n simulated by this simulator is 1.81×10-16 when equivalent turbulence link length is 1 km. The maximum C2n is 1.81×10-15when equivalent turbulence link length is 10 km, and the equivalent distance of scintillation index is 661.2 m. Besides, the spectral characteristics and probability density distribution characteristics of scintillation index and angle-of-arrival are similar to the real atmospheric turbulence. In summary, the atmospheric turbulence simulated by the hot air convection turbulence simulator is close to the real atmosphere.

    Based on the non-Kolmogorov spectrum and the generalized Huygens-Fresnel principle, taking the cosh-Gaussian (ChG) vortex beams as a typical example, the distance for the conservation of topological charge of partially coherent ChG vortex beams propagating through non-Kolmogorov atmospheric turbulence is studied. With the increment of general structure constant C~2n and the waist width w0, as well as the decrement of the general exponent α, the inner scale l0 and spatial correlation length σ0, the distance for the conservation of topological charge will decrease , whereas outer scale L0 and part parameters of hyperbolic cosine Ω0 has no effect on the distance for the conservation of topological charge.

    The performance of wireless laser communication can be affected due to atmospheric turbulence and the aperture averaging can effectively inhibit scintillation caused by turbulence. The aperture averaging factor of scintillation for Gaussian-Schell mode (GSM) beams is derived according to the expression of aperture averaging factor given by Tatarskii and the relationship between mutual coherent function and cross-spectral density function for narrow-band wavefield. The effects of coherent parameter of the source,the strength of turbulence, inner scale and outer scale of the turbulence on the aperture averaging factor of scintillation for GSM beams are discussed. It is shown that the effects of the coherent parameter on the aperture averaging factor become smaller with the turbulence increase. The aperture averaging factor reaches saturated more quickly with stronger turbulence, and further increasing of the aperture of receiver becomes no longer valid in reduction of scintillation. The inner scale of turbulence has a significant effect on aperture averaging factor,while the influence of outer scale can be neglected. The inner scale of turbulence plays an important part in analysis of scintillation.

    For ocular adaptive optics systems, there is no necessary to calculate Zernike mode coefficients during iterations. A modified algorithm based on reset of control signals is proposed. The modified algorithm is more suitable for ocular adaptive optics because both calculating time and storage space are saved. After principle description and computer simulation, the algorithm is tested on a retinal imaging system which is based on dual deformable mirrors. The two deformable mirror are controlled fast and stably. High resolution retinal images are acquired. Both simulation and experimental results indicate that this algorithm can effectively compensate for phase distortions and significantly suppress the coupling between two deformable mirrors.

    The accuracy and stability of optical clocks has achieved 10-18 level currently. The progress on the optical lattice clocks of Strontium (Sr) atoms at National Time Service Center is presented. 88Sr,which has the highest natural abundance in four isotopes of Sr, is cooled on the basis of transitions (5s5s)1S0—(5s5p)1P1 and (5s5s)1S0—(5s5p)3P1. In order to cancel the effect of Doppler shift and recoil shift these cold atoms are trapped in the optical lattice. However, the optical lattice where atoms are trapped can make the energy level shift, called A. C. Stark shift. The “magic” wavelength for clock transition (5s5s)1S0—(5s5p)3P0 can make the same Stark light-shift for both of them, being value 813.4 nm. Then those cold 88Sr atoms are confined in a 1-D optical lattice constituted by the laser outputting from an amplified diode laser, operating on the “magic” wavelength 813nm. Consequently, the lifetime of atoms in 1-D optical lattice is measured and the value is 270 ms. The temperature and the number are about 3.5 μK and 1.2×105 respectively. Atoms confined in the optical lattice can provide a long interrogation time for probing the clock transition, furthermore make the foundation for developing the optical lattice clock of Sr atoms.

    An experimental investigation of the coherent population trapping (CPT) resonance excited on the D1 line of 87Rb atoms by bichromatic parallel linearly polarized laser light is presented. The experimental results show that a lin‖lin transition scheme is a promising alternative to the conventional circular-circular transition scheme for an atomic clock. Compared with the circular light transition scheme, linear light accounts for high-contrast transmission resonances, which makes this excitation scheme promising for CPT atomic clock.

    With different X-ray tube voltages the imaging screening effect of the pixellated CdZnTe detector is investigated under the ultrahigh irradiance. Moreover, a novel fluctuation process of the screening effect has been observed. Measurement results reveal that event counts of pixels which are distributed at the edge of the irradiated area experience a sudden increase followed by a continuous decrease when the tube voltage rises from 15 kV to 45 kV. Based on the Poisson equation, a theoretical model of the CdZnTe detector solved by the finite element method is developed which enables the penetrating investigation of the carrier collection in the CdZnTe crystal. A comparison between model simulations and test results shows that pixels in the central irradiated area are completely screened under increasing incident photon energy and linearity attenuation parameter. This is because the emergence of the relatively higher potential region, which is caused by the increasing of incident photon energy and linearity attenuation parameter, leads to the twist of the electron drift way. Furthermore, with the increase of the incident photon energy, the inconsecutive expansion of the accumulated carrier scope results in the fluctuation of the event counts of pixels distributed around the screening area. The imaging results deduced from the simulations are well consistent with the experimental data.

    The propagation characteristics of optical vortices in fibers are studied. The wave equations in the optical waveguide based on the Maxwell′s equation are derived, and then the eigen modes of the step index fiber are solved. According to the relationship of the orbital angular momentum (OAM) and linear polarization (LP) modes with the vector modes, the distributions of optical vortices and linear polarization modes in fibers are solved and the advantage of optical vortices in fibers over the LP modes in theory are analyzed. The propagation of the optical vortices in bend fibers is simulated. It is found that the distribution of the optical field has periodic rotating properties. The effects of the fiber′s bending radius and the topological charge on the propagation of optical vortices are researched. The smaller the bending radius is, the greater loss in propagation is produced. The larger the topological charge is, the greater loss in propagation and the shorter rotating period is.

    The region of interest detection for remote sensing images is usually based on global research and setting up the basis of prior knowledge. The new method called salient region detection based on salient features clusting for remote sensing images is proposed. We use the color information to construct the histograms in different color channel (RGB) to compute the information maps in each color channel. After fusing the information maps, we can get the single saliency maps. To get the saliency maps in CIELab color space, we adopt the k-means to cluster all the images in the CIELab color space, which makes it possible to reduce the computational complexity by calculating saliency on cluster-level. Then, through studying the integration of single saliency map and CIELab saliency maps, we get the final saliency maps. Finally, we can construct the mask of region of interest according to the final saliency map, which enable us to get the region of interest segmentation. Result shows that compared with existing models, we get more accurate saliency maps without the basis of prior knowledge. This method will be meaningful in further remote sensing image processing.

    When imaging performance of optoelectronic systems to observe point targets or laser far-field effects is evaluated, Strehl ratio is usually used as evaluation criteria, and Strehl ratio is often applied in engineering applications. In order to understand the limits of application field and engineering feasibility, study on the approximate application limits is done. The three approximation ways are deduced, which can supply theoretical basis for the approximations. According to Strehl ratio theory, its accurate analysis method under actual aberration condition is obtained as well. The comparison is done between the approximations and accurate method from the view of imaging. Results show that when the wavefront phase error is smaller than 0.1 wavelength, the error between first approximation and second approximation with third approximation is smaller than 10%. When the obscuration ratio is 0.3 and relative error of Strehl ratio is less than 10%, the wavefront phase error variance must be less than 0.13 wavelength for the first approximation method, the wavefront phase error variance must be less than 0.1 wavelength for the second approximation method, and the wavefront phase error variance must be less than 0.17 wavelength for the third approximation method. The research can apply Strehl ration approximations under certain relative error conditions, which can provide technical reference for imaging performance or far-field laser effects assessment.

    Multiple light scattering caused by turbid medium can distort the propagation of waves, thus the image will become blurred. A novel method called turbid lens imaging (TLI) is adopted to reconstruct this kind of distorted images. In this method, the complex electric field of output light needs to be obtained to calculate transfer matrix of turbid medium. Only the intensity information is recorded by CCD, the phase information will be merged in recorded images. As speckle images are generated when the incident light transmits through turbid medium, there will be obvious error in the phase retrieved by using Hilbert transform directly on the interference fringe pattern. In order to eliminate the influence of speckle intensity changes, the distorted wave image, reference beam image, light interference fringe image and background image are recorded respectively. According to the interference theory, interference cosine factor can be computed, and it will retrieve phase of distorted waves more accurately by using Hilbert transform on cosine factor. In the above method, the complex electric field of distorted wave and the transfer matrix of the turbid medium are successfully calculated. It is more accurate as the amplitude is measured directly. For speckle fringe, the calculation results are much more accurate than the Hilbert transform phase demodulation results.

    System gain is one of the important parameters of charge coupled device (CCD), from which many of the other performance parameters such as quantum efficiency, readout noise, full well CCD and so on are determined. With the development of imaging technology, accurate calibration for the system gain of CCD become more and more important. The theory of measuring system gain based on photon transfer curve technique is introduced. A method to acquire photon transfer curve by changing light intensity is proposed. At the same time, an experimental setup is constructed to calibrate system gain of CCD precisely. It is shown that the result of calibration is 1.6229e-/ADU which has a good consistency with the method to obtain photon transfer curve by changing exposure time. At last, the uncertainty of this calibration is evaluated.

    The shaping effects for the intense laser pulse of a low-density plasma foil is investigated by numerical simulation employing a one dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) code. Laser pulses with steep leading edge of different pulse durations are obtained by changing the thickness of the plasma foil.The results show that a moving-electron-layer (MEL) is generated and driven forward by the radiation pressure, the leading edge is reflected by the MEL and the main part of the pulse is transmitted when the MEL reaches the rear surface of the foil. The single MEL vanishes quickly without double-layer structure, so the peak power of the pulse has no obvious attenuation.

    High power high beam quality 1060-nm InGaAs/GaAs quantum well (QW) semiconductor laser diode with an asymmetric large optical cavity (LOC) is designed and fabricated. The laser diode consists of compressively strained double InGaAs/GaAs quantum wells and a GaAs/AlGaAs separate confinement structure. To improve the high power performance, the transversal optical cavity is optimized to have low fast axis far-field divergence angle, large optical spot size and low facet optical density, low internal optical absorption loss and high internal quantum efficiency. By employing a weak optical confinement Al0.1Ga0.9As waveguide with thickness of 4 μm, a low transversal far-field divergence angle of 20° and large optical spot size near 1 μm are obtained. By detuning the QW position, the asymmetric waveguide with thinner p-side waveguide enables the laser diode high internal quantum efficiency even in high current injection level. Based on the optimization, 1.3 W continue wave optical power is achieved for broad area lasers with cavity length and strip width of 2 mm and 50 μm, respectively. For single spatial mode ridge waveguide laser diodes with same cavity length, 600 mW continue wave optical power is obtained at 10 ℃.

    Xenon lamp-pumped Ndglass will result in uneven temperature rise, which will produce thermal stress birefringence and induce depolarization. Depolarization will directly reduce the system efficiency, beam quality. So, it is important to confirm the temperature distribution and stress distribution, to accurately predict the resulting depolarization of the beam, and to design rational beam filling factor. Based on the electro-optical conversion model, we used three-dimensional ray tracing to obtain the distribution of thermal power source. with heat conduction theory, we calculated the three-dimensional temperature distribution of the laser glass and the stress distribution and the resulting depolarization distribution. The results show that the stress birefringence within the beam diameter is small, but the four corners of square beam department of the stress birefringence are more serious, with the largest depolarization about 0.13%. The results are consistent with the experimental results of Lawrence Livermore national laboratory. The near field results of outputted laser show that the thermal induced depolarization of the slab amplifiers satisfies the output design demand of high energy equipment.

    Many laser thermal stress forming experiments of high strength steel plate used automobile are done by CO2 laser and the material relevant microstructures are analyzed. Based on the deep study of the changing law on the specimen bending angle, the process parameters are reasonably optimized about laser thermal stress forming. Namely the effect of thermal stress forming is the best when the laser power is 1.5 kW, scanning times are 6, the scanning speed is 1.5m/min and the diameter of laser spot is 3.5 mm and the surface energy changes between 20~45 J/mm2. The conditions are proposed to avoid the ablation phenomenon on the work piece surface. The test results show that the bending angle tends to the direct proportion relationship with laser scanning times, scanning velocity and material width in the effective range of the test parameters. That is a linear relationship when the spot diameter is the less or the more. The effect of the laser power is nonlinear obviously, but the bending angle tends to the direct proportion relationship with the laser power when the laser power is less. The microcosmic grain is smaller near the material surface and the carbide precipitation is less farther the surface.

Furthermore, optical field distributions in OSCs are numerically investigated by finite difference in time domain, and the plasmonic enhancement effects of metal gratings are analyzed. The results show plasmonic gratings have excellent light trapping ability and response to incident angle, so there is obvious light absorption enhancement in active layer.

    The corrugated metal parallel plate waveguide composed by two parallel plates with subwavelength corrugations on both surfaces shows some similarities and differences with plasmon-assisted parallel plate waveguide are confirmed. A symmetrical corrugated metal parallel plate waveguide with gradually changed depth of corrugations is designed to convert electromagnetic wave between transmission mode and surface mode. Due to the field distribution and the power flow are concentrated on the corrugated surface at the intermediate region of the waveguide, a cylindrical perfect electric conductor put into the center of the waveguide does not affect its field distribution and transmission characteristics, namely the waveguide has stealth effect. The cutoff frequency of the upper sideband of corrugated metal parallel plate waveguide’s band gap changes linearly with the permittivity of sample substance which is filled in the corrugations, and therefore it can be used in dielectric sensing. The terahertz sensing characteristics are confirmed by the detection of samples such as diesel, liquid paraffin and olive oil. This work is helpful for exploring the application of the corrugated metal parallel plate waveguide in terahertz wave transmission, manipulation and terahertz device design.

    Graphene’s conductivity is governed by intraband contributions in microwave to terahertz band. The dependence of the surface conductivity, the equivalent surface impedance and permittivity on the chemical potential and temperature using the intraband conductivity model are studied. The surface conductivity and equivalent surface impedance largely depend on the chemical potential, and hardly depend on the temperature. So the graphene has tunable surface conductivity and impedance. The effective surface plasmon polaritons mode index of the infinite planar graphene based on the intraband conductivity model and the dispersion relation of TM (transverse magnetic) modes of graphene’s SPP (surface plasmon polaritons) are researched. The result proves that graphene-based plasmonic resonant antennas are expected to be smaller than traditional material antennas. So the graphene antennas are tunable, stable and miniature. The dependence of transmission coefficient on chemical potential based on the property of electromagnetic waves is studied. The transmission coefficient largely depends on the chemical potential so as to make the material possible for tunable THz filter. Flexible graphene antenna is designed. The good gain is observed.

    Photo-thermal effect is one of the most important effects in the interactions between laser and biological tissue cells, however, its generation, transmission and action mechanisms are not yet clear. When laser irradiates biological cells, temperature is the decisive parameter in that temperature change in biological cells reflects a variety of physical properties of cells, which plays an important role in clinical applications. A numerical simulation model is built, and the heat accumulation process is simulated and analyzed using finite element software according to the heat transfer equations when laser irradiates biological cells. The temperature variation process of biological cells under different chopping cycles is analyzed, and equations of two temperature rise processes and two temperature drop processes are fitted when the chopper period is 0.1 s and the irradiation time is 0.2 s. It is concluded that the phenomenon of heat accumulation will appear only when the chopping frequency reaches a certain value; the highest temperature of thermal model which is irradiated by laser is related to the chopping frequency, and the higher the chopping frequency is, the lower the biological cell′s thermal effect is.

Formally, these conserved quantities can be simplified as that of the paraxial model when the non-paraxial term is ignored. In addition, the difference between the non-paraxial nonlinear Helmholtz model and the paraxial nonlinear Helmholtz model by analyzing the variation characteristics of the conserved quantities with the change of parameters of optical spatial solitons is studied. Especially, it is found that the divergence results of the Hamiltonian and momentum of optical spatial solitons can be suppressed in the non-paraxial model when transverse speed increases in paraxial model.

Waveguides modal dispersion is an effective tool to compensate the material dispersion. However, the nonlinear polarization form of THG or TPDC is an odd function that will be almost zero if the mode field distribution contains opposite sign components. Several asymmetric plasmonic slot waveguides infiltrated in nonlinear organic material (2-\[4(dimethylamino)phenyl\]-3-f\[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl\]ethynylgbuta-1,3-diene-1,1,4-tetracarbonitrile) (DDMEBT) with high third-order susceptibility are proposed. Silicon (Si) is used to fill the bottom metallic slot region to break the symmetry of the waveguide. Silver (Ag) is considered to be the metal medium due to its low loss. The needed phase-matching condition (PMC) is satisfied between the zeroth mode at fundamental frequency (FF) and the first mode at third harmonic (TH) by appropriate designing the waveguide geometrical parameters. The corresponding overlap factor for THG or TPDC is much larger than the symmetric distribution.

Using the expression of Hermite-Gaussian beam in terms of spherical vector wave functions by complex source point method, and combining with the transformation between Laguerre polynomial and Hermite polynomial, Laguerre-Gaussian vortex beam is expanded in terms of spherical vector wave functions. Utilizing the generalized Lorenz Mie theory, the scattering of Laguerre-Gaussian vortex beam by cancer cells is investigated. The intensity and phase distribution at cross section perpendicular to the propagation axis with different beam modes and different propagation distances is analyzed numerically. The results show that with the increase of the radial and azimuthal mode index and the propagation distance, the size of the beam increases.

Optical parameters calculation results show that refractive index, absorption coefficient and other optical parameters in 0.2~1.5 THz band of DBP/n-hexane and DBP/Ethyl alcohol solutions correspond with concentrations. According to the absorption coefficient, refractive index and correlations between frequency-domain spectroscopy of area and concentration, it can be obtained content of DBP in any unknown solutions. The results could help to provide a new way and new method to identify phthalate acid esters (PAEs) in white spirit or other soft drinks.

    The objective is to use functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to classify and measure mental workload in n-back tasks. Prefrontal cortex (PFC) responses were monitored with fNIRS while 18 subjects completed n-back tasks, performance and NASA-TLX scales were also recorded. It was found that there was significant difference in performance, subjective scores, and fNIRS data under different difficulty tasks; dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is more sensitive to fNIRS in PFC; using support vector machine (SVM) could realize accurate classification of 4 mental workload levels; SVM decision values could assess and predict mental workload effectively.

    The Rydberg state of SO2 has been studied experimentally using the technology of resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectra, where a wavelength tunable high-power pulse laser is used as the excitation source. The REMPI spectra similar to atomic absorption spectra of alkali metal have been obtained in the range of 420~540 nm. The ionization peaks appearing at 429.3 nm and 452.3 nm correspond to the (4+1) REMPI, and the ionization peak at 529.4 nm corresponds to the (4+2) REMPI. The higher electronically excited state appearing in the spectra should be assigned to the Rydberg state series converging to F1A2 with an np orbital (n=4, 5, 6). The scanning of the ionization peak with high precision at 529.4 nm shows that the spectral structure with nearly equal interval corresponds to the REMPI series of 4p(0, v2, 0) Rydberg state of SO2. The harmonic frequency of bending vibration levels of 4p Rydberg state Δν2 is calculated to be (387.3±12.4) cm-1.

    In order to study and diagnose the distribution, movement process and shape of the high-temperature plasma of pellet implosion in the Z-pinch implosion, a novel spherically bent crystal imaging system has been developed based on the Bragg diffraction theory. The key component of the imaging system is the spherically bent α-quartz crystal with the radius of 200 mm. An X-ray spectral imaging experiment using spherically bent α-quartz crystal has been carried out in the “Yang” accelerator in the Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics (CAEP). The X-ray film obtains the X-ray spectral information of Ti plasma. By analyzing the spectral information, the diagnostic result shows that the spectral resolution of the imaging system is 1092, which is consistent with theoretical value of the spectral resolution model. The imaging system meets the demand of spectral diagnosis.

    Aluminum-doped Zinc Oxide (ZnO:Al, AZO) thin films are deposited on K9 glasses by the DC magnetron sputtering. The deposited samples are annealed under the condition of vacuum and 300℃. Effects of annealing time on the microstructure, surface topography and optical properties of AZO thin films are researched, respectively. Results show that the optimal annealing time is 2 h. AZO thin films deposited under this condition has a stronger (002) diffracting peak with the grain size of 17.2 nm, and the surface microstructure is smooth and compact. The average transmittance of the sample in the UV-Vis band is 93.47%, and the corresponding optical energy gap is 3.41 eV.

    The gradient pressure and temperature are unified into gradient density, the characteristics of femtosecond filamentation is investigated and the plasma channel in gases with gradient density is accompanied, the feasibility of gradient density method to enlarge the length of the filament and plasma channel is studied. Furthermore, the concept of ideal density curve is presented. The ideal shapes of gradient density under different conditions are calculated and analysized. The femtosecond pulses which propagate under the ideal gradient density curve can achieve the maximum spectra broadening and shorter pulses after compression while avoiding the muti-filament. It is found that the nature of intense femtosecond pulses propagation under the ideal density curve is in the condition of maintain constant n2Pc, to make the spot radius of the pulse at certain range in the long distance propagation, and to perform a self-guide while avoiding the self focusing or ionization.

    The diversity and uncertainty of ocular aberrations in abnormal eyes limit the usefulness of adaptive optics in clinical application. Aberrations are characterized in two populations of Chinese abnormal eyes, namely those with glaucoma and those with diabetes retinopathy. Furthermore, the impact of aberrations on retinal image quality and the requirements of wavefront correctors for aberration compensation are analyzed. The results show that higher-order aberrations of glaucoma eyes and diabetes retinopathy eyes are larger than what is typical in normal eyes, approximately 2.9 and 1.8 times respectively. To reach diffraction-limited imaging, correction of Zernike polynomials more than the 8th order is necessary for both glaucoma eyes and diabetes retinopathy eyes and the required corrector Strokes are over 39 μm and 14 μm, respectively. The results presented will help guide the development of wavefront correctors for clinical instrumentation.
