    Output characteristics of Yb-doped double-cladding pulsed fiber amplifiers were discussed under conditions of low and high repetition rates using the time-dependent rate equations. Because there are several different initial conditions used in the finite-difference method with different repetition rates, some methods were presented to determine the initial conditions. The relationship of the peak powers of the high repetition rates with their equivalent continuous wave powers was also discussed when the signal light was in Gaussian shape. The change of the average output power with the pump power was obtained under the conditions of the pulsed signals with low repetition rates and high repetition rates.

    For optical short pulse with high frequency, it is needed to improve the pump power to obtain more shorter pulse; but, as increasing of the pump power, the gain of the amplifier is becoming saturated, and amplified spontaneous emission noise (ASE) is increasing, so signal to noise ratio (SNR) is decreased. A scheme of pulse compression through fiber-optical parametric amplifier and chirp management is proposed. First the pump light is phase modulated after intensity modulation to introduce linear positive chirps, after the parametric progress the frequency chirps of the idler are doubled, so its spectral width is increased, the pulse can be compressed through dispersion compensation medium. The experimental results of 10GHz operation is demonstrated, with 0.5W average pump power and phase modulated pump power, idler pulse is observed with 19ps pulse width.

    A novel Ge-Te-I far infrared transmitting chalcohalide glass system Ge20Te80-xIx(x=2, 4, 6, 8mol%) was prepared by traditional melt-quenching method. Structure and physicochemical properties of Te-based glass system were studied with XRD, SEM and DTA. The effect of halogen on the glass formation and thermal stability was investigated. Optical spectra of Te-based glass system were obtained by spectrophotometer and infrared spectrometer. Effect of halogen on the short-wavelength absorption cut-off edge and infrared transmitting spectra was analyzed. The Tauc equation was used to calculate the direct and indirect optical band gap. The results show that halogen can reduce Te metallic character and improve the glass-forming ability. The density decreased while the molar volume increased with the added I2 content. With the addition of I2, the short-wavelength cut-off edge of the glasses shifts to the longer wavelength (1 700~1 900 nm), the band gap decreased. The thermal stability was enhanced by the addition of halogen. A maximum ΔΤ value of 121℃ was obtained for the glass composition Ge20Te72I8. These prepared Ge-Te-I glasses all have wide optical transmission window from 1.8 to 25 μm, which is a novel far infrared transmitting glass materials.

    A series of phosphors Sr0.955Al2-xGaxSi2O8∶Eu2+ (x=0~1.0) was prepared via solid-state reaction in weak reductive atmosphere. Lattice positions and the luminescent mechanism of Eu2+ in the host were discussed, and effects of Ga3+-substitution on the host lattice and spectral properties were investigated. The results showed that complete solid solutions formed in the whole range of x=0~1.0 while Ga3+ entered SrAl2Si2O8 lattice and substituted Al3+. The lattice parameters (a, b, c) and unit cell volume of phosphors Sr0.955Al2-xGaxSi2O8∶Eu2+ (x=0~1.0) increased linearly as Ga3+ content increased in the phosphors. When Ga3+ substituted for Al3+, the most obvious changes happened in cell parameter c, b was the second and a was the minimum. A broad excitation spectrum of Eu2+ presented from 230 nm to 400nm and peaked at 350 nm, which consists of 267 nm, 305 nm, 350 nm and 375 nm excitation bands. The three shorter wavelengths excitation peaks were shifted to red and the peak intensities of 267 nm and 350 nm were decreased. The peak intensity of 305 nm increased significantly while the peak position and intensity of 375 nm unchanged basically as the increased substitution of Ga3+. The FWHM of the apparent excitation peak narrowed from 109 nm to 98 nm. The broad and asymmetric emission spectrum among 380 nm and 600 nm and apparent peak was at 407 nm, which could be fitted by two peaks at 406 nm and 441 nm. The two fitted peaks were red shifted and the intensity ratio of the fitted peaks increased linearly with the increasing of the amount of Ga3+-substitution. The apparent emission peak was red shift from 407 nm to 422 nm and FWHM increased from 58 nm to 79 nm while Ga3+ content was up to 1.0 mol. The distance of Eu-O was shorted due to Al3+ is replaced by Ga3+. The crystal field of the emitting center Eu2+ location was enhanced. The splitting of 5d orbital levels was increased and the lowest emission level was expanded to lower.

    In order to study effects of outdoor factors to Fourier telescopy imaging and validate properties of imaging immune to down-link atmospheric turbulence, outdoor experiments were developed. Under the ground of lab experiments, outdoor experiments added primary mirror, secondary mirror and condense lens to simulate the real system imaging. The distance between object and primary mirror and the distance between primary mirror and secondary mirror was put away 100m, separately, to validate the property of Fourier telescopy imaging immune to atmospheric turbulence. Using 2 different satellite films as objects, the outdoor reconstructed images were gotten with the Strehl value 0.44 and 0.39 without turbulence, separately, and Strehl value 0.43 and 0.38 with turbulence, separately. Compared the reconstructed images of outdoor with lab, the conclusion was gained that libration had obvious effect on imaging. The result that the Strehl value of outdoor imaging was similar to lab imaging confirmed the fact that Fourier telescopy imaging was immune to down-link atmospheric turbulence.

    According to the extended nonlinear Schrdinger equation including quintic nonlinearity in optical fibers, modulation instability (MI) based generation of high-repetition-rate optical pulse trains is numerically demonstrated by using the optical wave with its phase perturbed by Gaussian-typed continuous spectrum instead of conventional monochromatic one. The results show that, the pulse trains can also be generated due to MI effect like the conventional case. However, being different from the conventional case, the generated pulse trains here consist of limited number of pulses which are generally not equal in width, intensity, and interval. And the pulse number increases with the propagation distance. Moreover, when the other parameters are the same, the positive quintic nonlinearity can make the pulse width and interval shorten, which means that the positive quintic nonlinearity is beneficial to generate higher repetition rate pulse trains. While the negative one takes the opposite. The numerically calculated chirps developed during the generation process of pulse trains indicate that, both the chirps and their variations with the distance are highly nonmonotonic, and the quintic nonlinearity will change both the chirp range and the chirp amount.

    Parameters about Z-scan measurements of thin films were investigated using numerical methods. Differences of the magnitude of Z-scan′s third-order nonlinear refractive index and absorption coefficient were observed under different laser pulse duration using numerical simulation. The more obvious peak-valley features of Z-scan′s closed-aperture curve were observed with the smaller aperture hole by simulating under aperture radius for different hole. The more obvious peak-valley features of Z-scan′s closed-aperture curve were observed by simulating under different distances of aperture lens to focus, when distance is 1/2 lens focal length. The experimental results reported in the literature related agree well with the theoretical analysis. The results have some significance to the measurement of Z-scan with films.

    Particles swarm optimization is a new evolutionary computation technique.Compared with genetic algorithm,the particles swarm optimization has the advantages of easy implement,few control parameters,and fast convergence to optimal solution in most cases.In order to obtain better multilayer coating structure,the particles swarm optimization is proposed for the design of optical multilayer coatings.To verify the feasibility of the method,three different design examples,i.e.,anti-reflection film,hign-reflection film and beam-splitting film,were demonstrated.In the examples,the sum of squared error of ideal reflectivity and actral reflectivity was used as the merit function of multilayer coating performance.The results indicate that the particles swarm optimization is an effective technique for the design of multilayer coatings.By means of particles swarm optimization,a better multilayer coating structure than genetic algorithm can be obtained under the same design condition.

The roughness of the sample did not change significantly with the increase of substrate temperature, which is about 0.35 nm,but increased with the increase of sputtering power density. On the other hand,the resistivity of the thin film decreased in an almost exponential decay with the increase of sputtering power density,and decreased and then increased with the increase of substrate temperature. Moreover it was reduced to the minimum of 2.02 × 10-5Ω·cm at 150 ℃.

The application of DMD as wavelength scanning element in a traditional lens optical system enables the design of compact grating spectrometers capable of acquiring full spectra using a single detector element. Firstly, comparing with the traditional optical system, there is a new structure with a single detector. With the characteristics of DMD, the structure of the spectrometer system is proposed. After calculating the parameters of the optical path, ZEMAX optical software is used to simulate the system. Finally, the prototype is fabricated and calibrated. Designed for a wavelength range between 900 nm~1 500 nm, the spectrometer optical system features a spectral resolution of 19nm with the area of 70 mm×130 mm. If the width of slit is more than 200 μm, decreasing its width can increase the resolution of this prototype and the change of intensity is slow. Adding an aperture in the prototype can reduce the curved of the slit image in the spectrum. The system satisfies the demand of Near Infrared(NIR) micro spectrometer with a single detector.

    Three-position absolute surface testing technology can be simplified to method of two-position surface testing under some certain conditions.Based on the study of three-position absolute surface testing technology,a new method of two-position spherical testing via Fizeau interferometer is proposed.The method respectively assumes that the surface error of reference surface or test surface only contains aberrations with even symmetry.Results show that λ/30 PVr surface error can be measured though two-position testing as well as the method is repeatable to λ/300 PVr and λ/4000 RMS.Besides,the distribution of surface error measured through two-position testing is very close to one measured though three-position testing.The PVr difference is less than λ/300 and the RMS difference is less than λ/2500.So under certain assumptions,experimental device and process can be simplified through two-position testing method,while the accuracy and repeatability can be maintained.

    In the measurement of reflectivity and uniformity distribution of large-aperture optical component, using optical feedback cavity ring-down technique, 2-dimensional scan is required. Angular misalignment of the test component, which is induced during the scanning process, will influence the measurement accuracy. Based on the augmented matrix of the misalignment of optical resonator, the position of the light spots on the output cavity mirror and the influence on the high reflectivity measurement were calculated in the condition of the symmetric confocal resonator and stable resonator. In the symmetric confocal resonator, there was no drift of the odd light spots, while the drift of the even light spots was a constant for one angular misalignment. In the stable resonator, the drift of the odd and even light spots were reciprocating swing. The results show that the influence of the angular misalignment on the high reflectivity measurement is related to the position of the component and the cavity length. The methods of reducing the influence of the angular misalignment of the component on the measurement results are also presented.

    In order to analyze influnce of laser pulse width on backward detection of long-distance wake bubbles, firstly, a simulated model is built to analyze the time-domain characteristics of the laser pulse′s backscttering signal underwater with Monte Carlo method based on Fournier Forand volume scattering function. Using this model, the variation of laser pulse′s backscttering signal by long-distance ship wake bubbles underwater with the width of initial laser pulse is studied. The result shows that, with the increase of the width of laser pulse, the outline of scattering signal by water and echo signal by wake bubbleds in backscattering signal become vague. When the width increases to a certain size, the echo signal cannot be distinguished from backscattering signal. In addition, with the decrease of the scattering intensity of bubbles or the distance between bubbles and detector, the variation becomes more evident. Finally, according to analysis results, a method is presented to extract the echo signal by wake bubbles based on inverse convolution.

The influence of parametrics on the conversion efficiency and the characteristics of CCE was discussed in detail. Experimental results show that the green conical emission has the biggest divergence angle, which is consistent with the calculation results based on the phase matching condition. When the pumped beam is incident on-axis, the intensity of the CCE will become stronger with the increase of the pump intensity and the thickness of crysta, and the center wavelength of the biggest diverging angle conical emission will change toward long wave. CCE and super-continuum emission can also be observed with different polarization directions.

With spherical wave as reference wave, the digital hologram of large size color object image, which is illuminated with differently wavelengths (red, green, blue), is recorded by using of optic system with negative lens. Then each monochromatic holographic image is reconstructed with the same magnification, and the corresponding digital color holographic image is acquired by accurately synthesizing the reconstructed monochromatic images. In order to improve quality of reconstruction image, two elimination zero-order methods are proposed. At first, the zero-order is eliminated with two recorded hologram, and SLM is used to change the record parameters. And the zero-order and conjugate images are eliminated by using “no disturb hologram” in another method. The result will provide a reference in holography application and digital holographic test of large size object.

The quadtree-segmentation is applied in hue component divided the image into elementary square units which had the same scene depth. The local airlight could be estimated from each square unit. To employ the characteristics of fog, the effects of fog on images are erased by using the optical model of foggy weather. Then the image of the restoration is obtained after the saturation component correction. The main advantage of this algorithm is reat time performance that is can be used in defogging both for color images and gray images.

    A novel method to implement distributed fiber optic Brillouin sensing was proposed, using the frequency shifting technique via a Brillouin fiber optic ring cavity. The method is based on the Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) principle that a laser beam from single-longitudinal model lasing is divided into two beams; one beam is launched into the Brillouin fiber optic ring cavity to generate the stimulated Brillouin scattering wave of narrow bandwidth as the Stokes wave, the other one is taken as the pump wave through phase modulation at a low frequency; the Stokes and the pump waves counter-propagate along the sensing fiber optic and the Brillouin frequency spectrum is measured to get the temperature or strain in fiber optic. The proposed method translates a microwave frequency signal into a MHz frequency signal for detection and processing with only one laser. The system is simple in structure with low cost and can eliminate the impact of the laser frequency fluctuation on the measurement precision. Experiments show that the method is feasibe.

    Fluorescent spectra between multi-alkali cathode with Cs-Sb surface layer and without Cs-Sb surface layer were compared. It was found that phenomena of peak wavelength of the fluorescent spectrum shifted to shorter wavelength and intensity of fluorescent spectrum became stronger for the multi- alkali cathode with Cs-Sb surface layer. This phenomenon shows that in the condition of a multi-alkali cathode with Cs-Sb surface layer, the surface work function of multi-alkali cathode is reduced, and Na2KSb structure is changed. This means that in the conditions of the same frequencies and the same incident power irradiation, Na2KSb with Cs-Sb surface layer can be excited more transition electrons and obtain higher transition energy levels. So they are able to escape the multi- alkali cathode surface more easily and have higher probability to access the vacuum .This will lead to higher cathode sensitivity and shows that the Cs-Sb surface layer has a surface effect and physical effects. To further increase the sensitivity of multi-alkali cathode, it is needs to improve the performance of Na2KSb layer in addition to further reduce surface work function of the multi-alkali cathode, so that the same power and frequency of incident light can produce more transition electrons and higher energy transition levels, which needs to further process improvements to make Na2KSb material better.

    A robust real-time electronic image stabilization algorithm was proposed based on feature matching and checking. In the algorithm, feature points in reference and current frame were extracted by Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi corner detector and matched by the sum of absolute difference criterion firstly. In the process of checking, a spatial location invariant criterion was presented to delete those points which were error-matching or appeared in foreground moving objects effectively. Finally, the global motion vector was computed by least-squares algorithm in similarity motion model and applied to compensate. Experimental results show that this algorithm is able to meet the requirement in real time and has good performance to the translation, rotation and zoom, and is robust to foreground moving objects.
