A confocal laser scanning endomicroscopy is developed, which employs a telecentric endomicroscopic optical system to achieve long-distance relay transmission of images, telecentric f-theta optical scanning and endomicroscopic imaging functions. Two-dimensional confocal scanning is realized through two scanning mirrors, and low-noise control signals are generated by the embedded system. Miniaturized design is adopted in the confocal laser scanning endomicroscopy in order to easily use for portable applications. Firstly, the outer diameter of the optical system is 8 mm, and working length of which is 250.3 mm, so in-vivo endomicroscopic imaging can be realized through standard laparoscopic surgery port. Secondly, two small mirrors with aperture of 3mm are employed to achieve in vitro confocal scanning, with the maximum frequency of 100 Hz. Finally, laser system and fluorescence detection are connected with the distal end of the confocal laser scanning endomicroscopy through an optical fiber and a cable, and the size and the weight of the distal end are minimized by this method. The experimental results show that the system′s filed of view reaches φ600 μm, and its optical resolution is 2.2 μm. This system can be used under handheld operation or other ways to realize minimally invasive in-vivo fluorescence endoscopic surgery since its miniature size and low weight.

    In order to solve the contradiction between the disc size and resolution, and to attain the high response speed, a new photoelectric absolute angular encoder is proposed based on a single-track coded disc and a linear detector. A new single-track absolute coded disc is used in the encoder. The encoded units are directly carved on one track. The image of coded disc is magnified by the imaging lens, and received by the linear detector. The FPGA control circuit sends the data of image to the computer for data processing. An integrated 7 bits binary code is obtained by image processing and the subdivision code unit is gained by pixel subdivision technique respectively, which are both contributed to the angular information. An absolute angular encoder, which contains a diameter of 40 millimeter code disc, is designed based on the technique. Its resolution can reach 15 bit.

    In order to solve the problems of large error and uncontrollable clearance caused by optical de-rotation gear transmission in panoramic electro-optical observation and sighting equipment, a position control system is proposed in which the optical de-rotation mechanical transmission is removed and substituted with a position control system without mechanical transmission.Using modern control theory and on the basis of analyzing the subject model in the optical de-rotation position control system,the complex control algorithm is designed, dominated by Proportional-Integral-Differential(PID) controller and aided by nonlinear control. The position control system is established,adjusted and tested with the single chip processor C8051 served as the core of controlling,the coder as the position transducer,electro-optical stage azimuth as the controlling singnal.The test results indicate that the optical de-rotation performance is better than that of the mechanical transmission, and the high precision position control is realized.

    The yield of curve-shape arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) chips is twice of the square-shape ones. However, the center wavelength of curve-shape AWG is easily influenced by the packaging stress, which is introduced by the linear expansion coefficient difference between the packaging box and the ribbon fibers coupled to the AWG chip. The experimental results showed the AWG center wavelength varied with the thermal stress linearly. The variation of the center wavelength for a thermally stabled AWG module was as large as 46 pm, when the ambient temperature varied from -20 ℃ to 65 ℃, even the ribbon fibers were bonded to the packaging box with soft silicon rubber. In this paper, a new low stress thermal stabled AWG packaging was introduced. In this package, a borosilicate glass plate was bonded to the ceramic heater, and the ribbon fibbers were bonded to it with silicon rubber. For the linear expansion coefficient difference between the borosilicate glass plate and ribbon fiber is very samll, the thermal stress of ribbon fibber or AWG chip is very small. Experimental results showed the typical center wavelength variation for thermally stabled AWG modules manufactured with this technique was smaller than 5 pm, and the typical thermal stress was smaller than 0.029 MPa, when the ambient temperature varied from -20 ℃ to 65 ℃.

    Two-dimensional gap plasmonic waveguide employing surface plasmon polaritons is proposed. Transmission characters of 90 degrees sharp bend waveguide, T-shaped splitter and switch based on gap plasmonic waveguide are numerical simulated with finite-difference time-domain method. It is shown that the energy loss of 90 degrees sharp bend waveguide is ohmic losses which are different to radiation losses of dielectric optical waveguide. When the gap width is larger than 40 nm, the transmission of bend waveguide is larger than straight waveguide with the same length. In the T-shaped splitter, when the gap width ratio of two output waveguides is larger than 0.6, the output energy is mainly assigned to the output waveguide which effective index is smaller. The result is different from dielectric optical splitter. The T-shaped switch is off with two input light out of phase and is on with two input light in phase. The plasmonic modes in the above devices beyond the diffraction limit and can be employed in super-large-scale optical integrated circuit.

    In the rotating-wave approximation, the produce and control for periodic quantum echo of atom bit interacting with a two-mode coherent light field is investigated via intensity-dependent coupling multiphoton channel by means of the full quantum theory. The effects on the evolution of the fidelity of atom bit for both the distribution form and distribution range of the average photon number of the two-mode coherent light field, and the photon number k of absorbed (emitted) as the atoms transition are discussed by numerical calculations, respectively. The system parameter of preparation and control for periodic quantum echo of atomic bits are obtained. According to the entanglement theory, the relation of the fidelity of atom bit with atomic reduced entropy is analyzed. The results show that atom bitkeeps good coherence and fidelity, and will produce periodic quantum echo for the two photon process as k=1, by regulation average photon number of the light fields being symmetrical or asymmetrical distribution and its value in a certain range. For k≥2 multiphoton process, the atom bit is always in a maximally entangled with the two-mode coherent light field so that the atom bit is in a state of partial distortion without periodic quantum echo. It is shown that the physical nature of the periodic quantum echo produce is periodic disentangled between the atom bit and the light field.

    Fan filter palys an important role in direction detection of images. In this paper, a simple but efficient method is proposed for the design of two-dimensional (2D) fan filters with arbitrary orientations. The proposed method is based on the polar Fourier transform (PFT) and a wedge-shaped filter. Firstly, the wedge-shaped filter is transformed to the polar Fourier domain. Then, by taking the rotation advantage of PFT, this wedge-shaped filter is rotated via shifting its PFT along the horizontal axis. By doing so, a series of arbitrarily-orientated fan filters are obtained and these obtained fan filters can detect the image information in arbitrary directions. Furthermore, since the design process involves no 2D optimization, the advantage of easy design is also achieved. To varify their directional sensetivity, the designed fan filters are applied to detect the texture direction of images. Experiment results show that the proposed fan filters has great potential in texture detection.

    The general segmentation algorithms are mainly dependent on visual features extracted from images, such as intensity, color and texture features. However, the feature extraction from hazy image becomes difficult and unstable. In this paper, a novel feature vector suitable to hazy image segmentation is introduced, and the corresponding feature extraction algorithm is proposed. The feature vector is composed of three components, which are degree of polarization of objects, depth map and color information, respectively. The degree of objects is separated with the degree of airlight using an decorrelation-based method. The depth map is inferred by analyzing the polarization images based on the hazy degradation model. And the color information is obtained from non-polarization image estimated by polarization images. Finally, these features are formed into a vector and fed to a well-known graph-based segmentation algorithm. After comparing the proposed results with those using only color cue on two aspects, it can be concluded that the proposed feature vector is more effective and robust than the usual features for hazy scene segmentation.

    A maximum likelihood estimation image denoising method is proposed using the non-local principle component analysis. Pixels with high similarity in both the gray level and the texture information are selected, and used to implement the maximum likelihood estimation. This kind of optimal restored method can overcome the drawback of the local image denoising method such as blurring edge, and improve the accuracy for restoring detail information in image using maximum likelihood estimation. Experiments using the proposed method, principal neighborhood dictionary non-local mean method and local maximum likelihood estimation method are implemented in images with different noise standard and different geometric complexity, and the performance of aboving three denoising methods are compared quantitatively and qualitatively. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can remove the noise effectively and preserve detail imformation of images compared with the currently used methods.

    In the phase shift modulation type optical components constructed by traditional dielectric waveguides with the low refractive index constant based on the total inner reflection mechanism, the length of the modulation region is usually millimeter or centimeter order of magnitude, while their horizontal size is micrometer of order of magnitude, therefore, the most typical characteristics of optical waveguide devices are long and narrow. Reducing the size of optical waveguide devices is a hard problem in the development of highly dense integrated optical circuits. The emergence of photonic crystals provides a new approach to develop highly dense integrated optical circuits. The plane wave expansion method is used to calculate the dispersion curves of the line-defect type photonic crystal waveguides. It is observed that there is a large change of wave prorogation constant near the guided-wave band edge, corresponding to a little change of refractive index of the material. If the work frequency is selected near the guided-wave band edge, the phase shift modulation length is expected to largely reduce. The finite-difference time-domain method is used to demonstrate the results above. Calculated results indicate that there is strong enhancement effect of refractive index phase shift modulation near guided-wave band edge: for the refractive index change of 0.46%, the phase shift modulation length in these waveguides is only 11.7% of that in conventional uniform dielectric material. This enhancement effect is originated from the special flat dispersion properties near the guide-wave band edge, and it is expected to be applied to high dense photonic integrated circuits after further research.

    Electromagnetic properties of single-layer silver nano-particles of compound metamaterials are theoretically analyzed. MATLAB numerical calculation and CST simulation are used to verify the theory. The results show numerical and simulated results of 4.75 nm nano-silver arrays are basically the same, and there are Lorentz resonance. The simulated results have redshift compared to numerical results, having a weak magnetic resonance. Further simulated compounded by the use of 4.75 nm spherical to form large particles of 100 nm, the results show that there are negative real permittivity and negative real effective permeability and negative refractive index in the 300~380 THz range. That means 100 nm composite spherical particles have a strong magnetic resonance effect and consistent with the theoretical analysis.
