A novel fast method for pixel random mapping is proposed.Combining with the technology of information hiding of Least Significant Bit(LSB),the RGB colour image used as a carrier image to hide real colour image,gray image,binary image and holography information are discussed.The experimental results show that this method has a high efficiency of encryption and decryption,and is robust to resist the attack of interference and image cutting.While the technology of LSB is applied properly according to the property of information hiding,the multiple information can be hidden well in carrier image while the quality of image is almost not influenced.

    In order to solve the problem that the image registration method based on the classical mutual information may suffer from local maxima and these improved methods combing with gradient can not align the multimodal images because of the great difference on gradient amplitude,a novel multimodal image registration method is proposed.During the optimization of transform parameters,a hybrid optimization algorithm based on genetic algorithm (GA) and Powell is carried out to efficiently restrain local maxima of this new similarity measure function.The former provides the latter with effective initialization parameter,which will increase the algorithm’s robustness.Multi-resolution data structure based on wavelet transform is used to expedite the registration process.Experimental results demonstrate that this new algorithm can efficiently speed up the registration process with a good registration result.

    In order to improve the accuracy of the fiber Bragg grating demodulation system,a denoising processing and filtering analysis method based on empirical mode decomposition is proposed.The intrinsic mode functions obtained by EMD are derived into signal component dominanting modes and noise component dominanting modes. Denoising can be achieved by reconstructing the signal using the modes reflecting the main structures of the signal. The experimental results show that the output signal of demodulation system can achieve identitfying the location of central wavelength and the Bragg wavelength shift accurately. The output spectrum has the features of less distortion and higher SNR.The curve fitting of temperature shows that the fitting linearity is 0.998, and the accuracy of demodulation system is greatly improved.

    In order to slove the low contrast and image blur in X-ray fluorography caused by noise and low illumination conditions, a new noise detection composed of region detection and degree detection is presented to distinguish between noisy pixels and noise-free pixels in the original image. Then the similarity degrees are calculated between each pixel and median value in the region of neighborhood and considered as the weighted value. Eventually, the noisy pixels are improved by the fuzzy weighted median filter while the noise-free pixels are not modified. The experiment results show that the proposed method can suppress the noise and preserve the edge and detail information.

    A novel reversible watermarking scheme is proposed,which is robust against high-quality JPEG compression.By computing the difference between the means of two adjacent image blocks,employing it to embed the watermark,and using block histogram shifting to avoid overflow/underflow,this technique receives both losslessness and robustness.If the watermarked image does not change at all,the watermark can be extracted out correctly and the original image can be recovered losslessly.If the watermarked image is compressed to some extent,the watermark can still be correctly extracted for semi-fragile authentication.The scheme is successfully applied to three kinds of medical images and commonly used images.Experimental results show that the high visual quality of images,the pure payload,and the robustness of the proposed scheme against compression are acceptable for many applications,including semi-fragile image authentication.

    Based on device simulation, an epitaxy structure with silicon doped base of a PNP InGaAsP-InP MQW transistor laser (HBTL) at 1 550 nm is designed and realized by MOCVD. Due to its much smaller diffusion coefficient and shorter diffusion length compared to the P dopant in the NPN HBTL, silicon as N dopant in the base perform with higher stability. Therefore, the active material with higher optical quality of PNP HBTL can be obtained easier than that of NPN HBTL. In addition, B type Ohmic contact can be realized easier than P type. The N doping density can be reduced compared to NPN HBTL benefiting to reducing both the optical loss and carrier recombination in the base. And therefore, both the lower threshold and higher stimulation power of the HBTL can be obtained. The result of PL spectrum measurement of the epitaxied material shows high peak intensity and as narrow as 65.1 nm FWHM which demonstrates good optical quality of the material.

    A gas refractive index sensor with subwavelength-diameter fiber (SDF) based on intermodal interference is designed and its sensitivity is analyzed.The sensor head is formed by splicing a standard single-mode fiber with a stub of SDF without cladding,which only supports the fundamental mode and the 2nd-order mode.The sensor′s sensitivity is analyzed according to the peaks shift of the interference spectrum,which is caused by the refractive index change of the gas outside the sensor head.It is found that the sensitivity of this sensor is higher than the one based on intermodal interference using index-guided photonic crystal fiber (PCF).Since there is no process of gas diffusing into the micro-holes compared with the PCF,therefore this sensor can be used for real-time detecting.

    In order to study the dynamic characteristics of ultra-weak photon emission in cell and its biological significance,soybean callus are radiated by UV-B radiation with 20μW/cm2 for 2 hours.Delayed luminescence of soybean callus induced by light within 4 days after the UV-B radiation is determined.Delayed luminescence integral intensity,the initial photon number,attenuation parameters and the spontaneous luminescence in ultra-weak photon emission of soybean callus are obtained through the establishment of delayed luminescence dynamics equation and mathematical fitting.The biological significance of these dynamic parameters of ultra-weak photon emission is discussed.The results show that delayed luminescence induced by light of soybean callus within 4 days after UV-B radiation to obey the laws of hyperbolic relaxation.Dynamic analysis shows that the changes of the delayed luminescence integral intensity and initial photon number with the time after UV-B treatment are volatility.The intensity of spontaneous luminescence and the content of malondialdehyde(MDA) are increased after the cessation of UV-B radiation.The peaks of them appear nearly two days after UV-B radiation.Using the ratio of delayed luminescence integral intensity and spontaneous luminescence to define the state parameter Q and the order parameter R of cell,it is found that the changes of Q value or R value of soybean callus cells after UV-B radiation reflect the damage of UV-B radiation on soybean callus and cell recovery process.

In the receiver, an opto-electric feedback loop is proposed for simultaneous 10 Gb/s clock recovery and 160 Gb/s to 10 Gb/s demultiplexing. The loop consists of a pair of electro-absorption modulators and a 10 Gb/s clock recovery module.

    In order to output the ideal infrared fluorescence matrix glass, a serial of chalcogenide glasses based on Ge-Ga-S-KBr system doped with different Er3+ concentrations are synthesized by a melt-quenching technique. The refractive indexes, absorption spectra, mid-infrared emission spectra of samples are measured. The oscillator strengths of absorption lines of Er3+ ions are calculated using the absorption spectra. The intensity parameters (Ωi,i=2,4,6), transition probabilities (A), branching ratios (β) are predicted for Er3+ ions in the samples using the Judd-Ofelt theory. The mid-infrared emission properties are investigated for the samples with the different Er3+ concentrations under 808 nm laser excitation. The 2.8 μm-emission cross-section is calculated using the theory of the Futchbauer- Ladenburg. The results indicate that the fluorescence under 808 nm excitation with peak wavelength at 2.8 μm is due to the Er3+∶4I11/2→4I13/2 transition. The intensity of the mid-infrared fluorescence is enhanced by increasing the concentration of the Er3+ from 0.4 wt% to 1.0 wt%. Multiphonon relaxation rate is estimated to be 37 s-1 for the Er3+∶4I11/2 level.

    Based on the phenomena of double refraction and double reflection in crystals,phase characteristics of p-polarized light reflecting and refracting at the boundary between an isotropic and a uniaxial crystal are studied by numerical evaluation.Results show that the direction of optical axis has important influence on phase properties.When light is incident from an optically thinner isotropic medium upon a crystal,the direction of optical axis affects the phase shift of reflected p-polarization light but has no effect on the phase of refracted light.When light is incident from an optically denser isotropic medium upon a crystal with the incident angle less than angle of total reflection,the direction of optic axis affects both the phase shift of reflected and refracted p-polarization light.If the incident angle is larger than critical angle,the optical axis has influence on the curve of phase change of reflected p-polarization light.For the case of light enters into an optically thinner isotropic medium from a crystal with the incident angle less than angle of total reflection,the direction of optical axis will change the way of phase shift of reflected p-polarization light.And the refracted p-polarization light undergoes a phase shift near the Brewster’s angle when the angle between the optical axis and crystal boundary is small.After the incident light is reflected totally,the curve of phase change of reflected p-polarization light varies with the direction of optical axis.

    A dual-order Raman fiber laser (RFL) with stabilized output power is proposed and theoretically analyzed. The results show that the first- and second-order Stokes output powers are hardly impacted by the pump power fluctuations due to the clamping mechanism induced by the amplified spontaneous emission near the second-order Stokes shift from the launched pump line. As a result, the low-frequency relative-intensity-noise transfer from the pump power to the laser outputs is greatly suppressed. The results show that the first- and second-order Stokes are both stable. In addition, their powers can be tuned by adjusting one attenuator in the RFL setup. These special behaviors predict that the proposed RFL is highly suitable to be the pump sources in Raman fiber amplifiers.

    Taking the group velocity dispersion, Kerr nonlinear effects, gain saturation and gain spectrum of gain medium into account, a equation describing the propagation of optical pulse in the medium is derived. The propagation state of a high power linear chirped pulse in the gain medium is simulated numerically using Split-step Fourier transform method, and the influence of gain dispersion on the profile and power spectrum of optical pulse is discussed emphatically. The results show that when propagating and amplified in the gain medium, the high power super-Gaussian optical pulse′s shape becomes sharp, peak moves to pulse front edge, the spectral peak moves to lower frequency, and the asymmetric oscillation structure is formed in spectral edge. When the gain dispersion of medium increases, the spectrum width of optical pulse becomes narrow, and its peak power decreases. As a result, the gain dispersion will cause loss of the broadband spectrum pulse.

    Using the least-squares spline approximation to analyze the photonic band structure, the dispersion parameters of a two-dimensional photonic crystal are quantitatively calculated. Considering the large bandwidth of an ultrashort pulse, average group velocity and average group velocity dispersion are achieved by introducing a weighting factor, which reveals the share of different frequency components. So the pulse evolution can be predicted theoretically. Propagation of ultrashort pulses through the photonic crystals is simulated by using the finite-difference time-domain method. The results of numerical simulations are well consistent with the theoretical predictions. This process for achieving dispersion parameters is valuable for designing photonic-crystal dispersion devices such as dispersion compensator, pulse compressor and pulse stretcher.
