To control the radiation characteristics of random laser effectively, the random medium nano-cluster was put in a photonic crystal(PC). The finite difference time domain(FDTD) method was used to simulate its radiation characteristics after it was placed in the air and in the PC. The results show that if the cluster is put in the air, the radiation energy decreases gradually after being excited, and its emission spectra take on spontaneous emission characteristics. However, when the cluster is introduced into a PC, some spontaneous emission spectral peaks will drop off, one of which will leave and grow in intensity rapidly. Finally, it becomes the strongest single spectral peak. Therefore, if a random gain system is able to be put into a matching ordered system, the light can be confined and the spontaneous emission can be forbidden.

    Composite magnetic fluids were obtained by doping silicon dioxide and polystyrene nonmagnetic microspheres into the pure ferrite magnetic fluids. The relationship between the magnetic-field-induced birefringence of composite magnetic fluids and the species, concentrations of nonmagnetic microspheres and pure ferrite magnetic fluids were investigated qualitatively. The results indicate that pure magnetic fluids with different concentrations doped with equal quantity of polystyrene microspheres have different variation trends for the birefringence with respect to the externally magnetic field. Different kinds of nonmagnetic microspheres have different influences on the change of birefringence after doping into the same pure magnetic fluids. When doping with two-kind-mixed nonmagnetic microspheres (equal quantity but different proportion between the two kinds of microspheres), one kind of the nonmagnetic microspheres will play a leading role in the variation of birefringence with externally magnetic field. Then, the variation trend of the birefringence with externally magnetic field for the as-prepared composite magnetic fluids is similar to that only doped with the leading nonmagnetic microspheres.

    Eu3+-doped La2(WO4)3 phosphors were synthesized by a hydrothermal method with further heat treatment. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) were used to characterize the resulting samples of crystal phase structure, particle size and morphology and composition. Photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra and decay curve were used to characterize the fluorescence properties of phosphors. XRD analysis confirmed that the precursors and as-prepared sample (900 ℃ for 2 h) were α-La2W2O9 with triclinic structure and La2(WO4)3 with monoclinic structure, respectively. The results show that La2(WO4)3∶Eu phosphor exhibits intensive red emission under 395 nm excitation. The strongest line (395 nm) in excitation spectra of these phosphors matches with the output wavelength of UV InGaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) chip. Hence, it is considered to be a new promising phosphor for generating white light devices.

    According to heat transfer theory, a finite element model of high-power light emitting diode(LED) was established. Four kinds of bonding materials(silver conductive adhesive with high thermal conductivity, nano-silver paste, power chip bonding adhesive, Sn70Pb30), and four kinds of substrate material(Al2O3, AlN, Al-SiC, copper-molybdenum alloy)were chosen. ANSYS finite element thermal analysis software was used to simulate temperature field, and the optimal choice of materials for high-power LED package was obtained. The influences of the substrate thickness, chip output power and external heat sink on the LED junction temperature were studied. The results show that the nanometer silver soldering paste-AlN has the most superior radiation effect the increase of the substrate thickness will not increase the head dissipation capability obviously; because the signal LED output power is limited, the packaging structure should be optimized and the multi-chip array needs to be used to the illumination requirement; the external aluminum heat-sinking is able to achieve the ideal heat-sinking effect.

    Confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM) is an invaluable tool for a wide range of investigations in the biological and medical sciences. A type construction of laser con-focal scanning and fluorescent detection system was provided. A polygon mirror and a galvanometer scanner were used to implement x-y scan. The relay optical system was designed based on commercial lens with optimized consideration to achieve small scan spot size, large Field-of-View and high efficiency. Fluorescence was detected by a photomultiplier tube with excellent signal-to-noise ratio. The scan system control and image acquisition were designed with an optimized scan velocity and sample clock. All these measures could reduce the blurring effect in the whole imaging process and improve the resolution. The analysis results show that the design of the CLSM is reasonable and all components achieve an optimized consideration for in-vivo scanning imaging; this type of CLSM are easily accessible and can be upgraded according to optical requirements; the performance is comparable to available commercial products, but is superior in many aspects of cost, flexibility and versatility.

    Using Modulation Transfer Function(MTF) method to evaluate image quality and establish reasonable stabilization system performance standard, is a serious problem during the design process. Based on transfer function theory of linear optical system, dynamic image process during uniform, accelerated and sinusoidal motions were studied and numerically analyzed. The relationship between image motion and dynamic image quality was established. And a new method based on discrete phase intervals was especially developed to evaluate low frequency sinusoid motion. The analysis and results indicate that with the same image blur of 0.5 pixel, MTFs of high frequency sinusoid motion, linear motion and low frequency motion can respectively reach 0.85, 0.9 and 0.998, to obtain good dynamic images. The conclusion was made that high frequency vibration damages the image quality most, linear motion less and low frequency does the least. According to analysis given, dynamic MTF can be solved for a certain image motion, to offer quantitative reference for the image evaluation of aerial camera.

A novel efficient dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing passive optical network namely fixed cyclic polling in pipeline dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm was investigated. To meet the quality of service requirements under multi-services access scenario, two level bandwidth allocation mechanisms, bandwidth pre-request for expedited forward service and the smallest bandwidth request allocated the first principle for assured forwarding and the best effort services were applied in this algorithm. A simulation was conducted to study the performance of fixed cyclic polling in pipeline dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing passive optical network. The results show that the proposed algorithm supports expedited forwarding services with low packet average delay and low jitter, balances priority and fairness between assured forwarding services and best effort services, and achieves bandwidth allocation fairness among different optical network units in the same priority. Compared with the traditional dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithms, fixed cyclic polling in pipeline algorithm meets the quality of service requirements excellently, and adapts orthogonal frequency division multiplexing passive optical network better with higher bandwidth efficiency and lower algorithm complexity.

    A prototype Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG) sensor for monitoring corrosion of steel structures was presented and the performances were characterized at different humidities. The sensor was fabricated by sputtering and electroplating a sensitive metal film on FBG side-face. The surface micro-structures of sensor at different humidities were investigated by Scanning Electron Microscope during a 27-day experimental cycle. The shifting of wavelength was recorded by Optical Spectrometer Analyzer in two environments with humidity of 60% and 99% RH. The wavelength of FBG sensor at 60%RH increased linearly with an increment of 0.025 nm per day. For sensors at 99%RH, the chirping appears, which implies more serious corrosion occurs than that at 60% RH. The experimental results show that the proposed FBG corrosion sensor is applicable for corrosion monitoring at a humidity of lower than 60%RH, and applicable for early alert of corrosion at a higher humidity.

    Implementation of pulsed-pump technique to fiber amplifier is significantly useful in the situation of low repetition rate and high energy pulses operating. The Amplified Spontaneous Emision (ASE) dynamics simulation in a pulsed-pumped ytterbium-doped double-clad fiber amplifier was presented, which provides important references about optimizing the pulsed-pump mode. By solving the rate equations and light power propagation equations in fiber using the finite elements analysis method, the simulations of ASE dynamics were carried out, including evolution of forward, backward ASE power distribution in the fiber and variations of ASE output power at two ends of the fiber in the time span from 0~740 μs after injection of pump light. Through the analysis of simulation results, the difference between forward and backward ASE powers increasing speeds and characteristics of the two kinds of ASE powers distributions dynamic in fiber were indicated.

The standard algebraic reconstruction technique was improved to achieve simultaneous reconstruction of both the absorption and the scattering images for small-animal-sized geometry. The numerical simulations validated the feasibility of the proposed scheme and demonstrated the superiority of the modified algebraic reconstruction technique over the standard one in separation of both the coefficients.

    The temperature distribution of the accurate biological tissues in different powers and different irradiation times is the premise of efficacy of laser-induced interstitial thermotherapy assessment. A three-dimensional finite element heat transfer model was constructed by multi-physical field conductive coupling analysis software COMSOL Multiphysics in the invariable tissue optics parameters situation. The model was based on Pennes bio-heat transfer equation and axisymmetric Gaussian shape of the laser beam heat equation. In this model, the parameters were for the liver tissue in vitro, and the thermal properties of biological tissue density, specific heat and thermal conductivity with temperature variations were considered. The temperature field data sets were obtained by simulation under the laser power for 0.77 W, 0.95 W, 123 W, irradiation time for 10~90 s, radial distance range 0~2 mm and axial distance range 0~4 mm. Fitting algorithm was used to obtain the tissue′s temperature distribution model related to the laser power, irradiation time, radial and axial distance. The results of 0.88 W and 1.05 W were compared with the Pennes equation, and the error between them was within 5%.

To sort oleaginous yeast and carotenoid-producing yeast, the plant oil and β-carotene were chosen as the target products and their Raman characteritics, the intensity ratios of 1 440 cm-1 and 1 602 cm-1 band (i.e. I1440/I1602) for oil, and I1157/I1654 or I1520/I1654 for carotenoid, were extracted and marked as target cells. Single yeast cell was captured and manipulated by using a 780 nm laser, and the Raman spectra of trapping cell was acquired simultaneously.A real-time computer distinguishing program was used to assist the sorting. The distinguished cells were then extracted and validated by following culture and Raman detection. This work provides a new method for screening microorganisms synthesize products with economic value.

    The impact of positional and radial disorders on the transmission spectrum of photonic crystal waveguides with different shapes of air-holes, including circular, square and elliptic were numerically investigated. It was found that the disorder affects the anti-crossing point greatest. The flat transmission spectrum becomes narrower as disorder increasing. The transmission property performs more sensitive on the air-holes positions than radii. The square air-holes are more robust against the positional disorder. The circular air-holes are more robust alainst the radial disorder. These results provide important theoretical instructions on the imperfection during the manufacture possess in the PCWs experiment.

Using green laser as the laser source, its performance parameters were simply measured. After testing, its diffraction efficiencies could reach 85%, and its absolution is high with the wavelength of 514.5 nm. Besides, the later development is simple, only heating. Holographic fabrication of photonic crystal was also simply simulated by Matlab software. The results indicate that the more beams interfere, the more complex photonic structures of photonic crystal are. And the simple light paths for fabricating 2-D and 3-D photonic crystal were designed. The light splitting elements are a mask and a top-cut prism. The experimental results indicate 2-D and 3-D photonic crystal with large-area, bulk-mass, high temperature resistance and high-strength can be fabricated using water-resisting photopolymer. It has the same photonic structures with matlab simulation. And the setup of the path is an important factor when the material is home-made water-resisting photopolymer.

    Through constructing a double optical feedback semiconductor laser chaotic system, the time delay signatures of chaos are investigated experimentally under different working conditions. The results show that, time delay signatures of chaotic output can be suppressed efficiently through adjusting the feedback strength of one cavity carefully and fixing the feedback strength of another cavity. Meantime, there is a big time shift which is the deviation between extracted delay time and real system delay time. Therefore, double optical feedback semiconductor laser chaotic system can efficiently hide the delay time signature of chaotic laser output, and also improve the performance in related application fields.

    The quantum dot-cavity system was investigated using a quantum master equation that took incoherent pumping, stimulated emission and pure dephasing into consideration, and analytical emission spectra at cavity and dot were presented. The theoretical analysis results show that the pure dephasing shifts the emission intensity towards the cavity frequency in non-resonant coupling system and thus can be a very good explanation of the non-resonantly coupled cavity effective emission effect. In order to further study the application of pure dephasing in the quantum dot-cavity coupled systems, the effective quantum dot-cavity coupling rate and the efficiency of the single photon source for detuned systems were introduced, and good cavity and bad ragime were able to be defined through comparing the effective quantum dot-cavity coupling rate and the cavity decay rate. Influence of the pure dephasing on the efective coupling rate and the efficiency of the single photon source were investigated in resonance and detuning selected two set of theoretical parameters according to the experimental data. The results show that the pure dephasing can increase the efftive quantum dot-cavity coupling and the efficiency of single photon source for detuned system and thus may make a transition from bad cavity to good cavity ragime; a set of parameters having larger coupling efficiency in a certain range can meet good cavity ragime that its single photon sources efficiency is obviously better than the other set. Compared with bad cavity regime laser in non-resonant coupling system, the good cavity regime is a necessary condition to achieve single quantum dot lasers; the Fano function shows no evidence of a maximum in the non-resonant coupling system and thus there is no laser threshold in this system.

    With advantages of high sensitivity and more information, coherent micro-doppler laser was especially suitable for the detection of moving targets, identification of objects’ characteristics, etc. The influence of phase fluctuation in the mode field (phase noise) on velocity accuracy was discussed in two aspects including linewidth and detection distance. The experimental results validated the phase noise influence on micro-doppler detection, and a new method resolving the above problems, which called range-compensated method, was proposed. In the experimental system, the laser source was monolithic non-planar ring laser with the wavelength of 1.06 μm. The micro-doppler frequency was observed by heterodyne detection, which was processed by means of time-frequency analysis. Minimum detecting velocity of the system is 0.5 mm/s, velocity resolution reaches a level of mm/s, and frequency resolution reaches a level of kHz, when the detection distance is 11 km. The results laid an experimental foundation for the practical application of micro-Doppler ladar.

    Object association between the cameras is a key of persistent object tracking in non-overlapping multi-cameras. A people re-identification algorithm was proposed only using people appearance completely independent on the space-time relations, object association across disjoint views was carried out by directly utilizing identification result, and this method does not depend on captured time of object and path restrictions. Complementary visual word tree histogram and global color histogram were extracted from the video image sequence, and Support Vector Machine(SVM) incremental learning was used to train online distinguishing people appearance models of two features. Finally, multi-class Linear Programming Boosting (LPBoost) algorithm was introduced into on-line adaptive fusion of two SVM models. The proposed method has strong online learning ability, and can incrementally represent discriminative people appearance model. The model after fusing two features is more discriminative and effectively reduces the influence of changes in various conditions. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves high identification rate and rapid real-time implementation which are markedly improved compared to the existent methods.

    For the focusing of the optical system with high numerical aperture, the light intensity distribution in the focal region will shows some special characteristics, which can be used in many fields, such as microscopy, particles trapping, data storage etc. Based on the vectorial Deby theory, the focal light intensity distributions of TM01 mode Laguerre-Gaussian radially polarized beam through the optical system with high numerical aperture were studied. By adjusting the ratio of the pupil radius versus beam waist, the focal light spot changed from small bright spot into dark ring spot. Moreover, by the pupil filter, the light intensity distribution in the focal region and the focal dark spot size could be modulated, which could make the intensity of dark area change from 0 to 1. And, by choosing the parameters of pupil filter purposefully, several 3D optical cages could be produced in the focal region, which made particle trapping more efficiently. Moreover, several particles can be trapped at one time, which has great practical value in trapping particles with refractive indices lower than that of surrounding medium.

    The Whispering Gallery Mode(WGM)optical microcavity has a wide range of applications for its high quality factor (Q). Various factors affecting the Q of optical microsphere cavities were analyzed theoretically and experimentally. WGM of microsphere with a diameter of 260 μm was achieved through coupling a tapered fiber. Experiments demonstrated that the water and dust around the microsphere cavity have great effects on the Q, which are mainly the optical absorption loss of water and scattering loss of dust, leading to 1~2 orders of magnitude lower of Q.
