The cloud signals can cause severe wobble of tropospheric ozone concentration in the process of differential absorption lidar measurement of ozone concentration, and bring significant errors. A cloud elimination algorithm is presented. The algorithm effectively eliminate tropospheric ozone wobble by interpolating the ozone concentration in cloud height region. The key point of the cloud algorithm is given through expounding its theoretical basis. The key point of the cloud elimination is the discrimination of cloud signal and accurate positioning of the cloud height. The cloud height information is determined by setting the aerosol extinction coefficient threshold according to the characteristics of the cloud extinction coefficient. The cumulative average of retrieved ozone concentration reduces measurement errors caused by noise. The results show that the correction by interpolation algorithm of ozone measurements in cloud region could overcome the wobble of the ozone measurements caused by clouds.

    The output characteristics of a LD end-pumped Cr4+∶YAG passively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser are experimentally investigated. The experiment shows that the output power and pulse repetition rate increases with the cavity length. To explain above experiment phenomenon, the pump laser beam sizes in the Nd:YAG crystal are measured, and the fundamental mode laser beam radius in the Nd∶YAG crystal and the Cr4+∶YAG crystal are calculated. The investigations show that two reasons result in the output power and pulse repetition rate increasing with the cavity length. Firstly, the pump beam size in the Nd∶YAG crystal is far less than the fundamental mode laser beam in the Nd:YAG crystal. The overlap efficient between pump and the laser beam is low. With the cavity length increasing, the fundamental mode laser beam in the Nd∶YAG crystal decreases, which results in the overlap efficient between pump beam and the laser beam increasing. So the output power and the pulse repetition rate increase with the cavity length increasing. Secondly, the laser beam radius in the Cr4+∶YAG crystal also decreases with the cavity length, which shorten the time interval between two bleaching of the Cr4+∶YAG crystal. So the pulse repetition rate increases with the cavity length.

In order to reduce the frequency drifting and the phase noise of the driver signal, the HLDV composed with two AOFSs was proposed. And based on the direct digital frequency synthesis (DDS) technology, the design of the driving signal generation unit has been completed with AD9912 which has the characteristic of adjustable initial-phase and low phase noise. The vibration-measuring experiments performed with HLDV consists of two AOFS shows that the designed generation unit is able to drive the AOFS. Meantime, compared with the HLDV with one AOFS, the noise floor from 0 to 10 kHz of the HLDV with two AOFS is flat and the noise distribution below 1 kHz has been depressed greatly.

    To study the effect of different circular groove numbers of bull′s eye structures on the enhanced transmission in terahertz region, two bull′s eye samples were fabricated with five circular grooves and fifteen circular grooves on aluminum slabs, respectively. Transmitted terahertz signals from two bull′s eye samples were obtained by using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. Experimental results show that for both samples, broad-band terahertz reference signal from 0.1 THz to 2.7 THz was filtered to be narrow-band signal, the center peak was at 0.53 THz, the transmission efficiency can reach 55.7% by five circular grooves and 68.3% by fifteen circular grooves through the center holes respectively. The differences on band widths and amplitudes of transmitted terahertz signals from small sample and big sample with different circular groove numbers come from insufficient periodical extension and leakage from edge of structure. Furthermore, spoof surface plasmon polaritons theory was employed to analyze filter phenomena of transmitted signals from different size bull′s eye structures with the help of finite element method. The simulated results agree well with the experimental results, both proved that the circular groove numbers can affect the enhancemen of the transmission in terahertz region.

    Wideband photonic microwave downconversion based on an optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) is proposed and demonstrated for the uncompressed HD video radio-over-fiber (RoF) transmission system. By using the injection locking of the OEO, high-quality RF carrier is extracted from the optical microwave signal. The extracted RF carrier is then fed back to the modulator to perform the downconversion in the optical domain. An experiment is performed. The distribution and downconversion of the signal with a carrier frequency of 10 GHz and a data rate of ≥2 Gb/s is verified. The wireless distance is 0.5 m and the length of optical fiber is 10 km. The distribution of a real-time 1.5-Gb/s uncompressed HD video is also demonstrated in the radio over fiber link. The results show that the system features wide bandwidth and low electromagnetic interference. Meanwhile, thanks to the automaic phase tracking of the OEO, no additional phase-locking operation is needed. The overall system is simple and stable, which provides a presentation and demonstration platform for HD video transmission.

    The solar cell with impurity photovoltaic effect can make use of the solar photons with energies less than the bandgap so that its conversion efficiency could be improved. To improve the conversion efficiency of the GaAs solar cells by using impurity photovoltaic effect, the GaAs solar cells doped with nickel for impurity photovoltaic effect were investigated by numerical method. The influence of nickel-doping on the short-circuit current density, open-circuit voltage and conversion efficiency was investigated. The effect of trapping structure on the cell performance was discussed. The results show that an increase of the conversion efficiency 3.32% can be achieved due to the impurity photovoltaic effect. The improvement of the solar cell performance attributes to the absorption of some sub-band photons, which results in the extension of the infrared response. Moreover, a good light trapping should be required to obtain better device performance for solar cells with impurity photovoltaic effect. It can be concluded that nickel doping in GaAs solar cells with impurity photovoltaic effect is a promising way for higher efficiency.

    The measurement principle of fluorescence spectrum on Na2KSb film of multi-alkali photocathode was described and three samples were measured in the position of different radius. The data result shows that the peak wavelength of fluorescence spectrum on Na2KSb film from center to edge of the cathode surface gradually increases, and the peak fluorescence intensity gradually increased as well. The reason is that the antimony atom density of cathode surface from the center to the edge gradually reduces. When the antimony in Na2KSb film exceeds stoichiometry required, the fluorescence peak wavelength shifts towards the short-wave direction, while the fluorescence intensity decreased at the same time. When the antimony in Na2KSb film achieves stoichiometry required, the fluorescence peak wavelength reaches the maximum value, while the fluorescence intensity reaches the strongest at the same time. By fluorescence test one can judge whether the stoichiometry of Na2KSb film reaches to the ratio 2:1:1 or not, in another words whether antimony in Na2KSb film is overdose or not. In addition by measuring the fluorescence spectra at different positions of the cathode surface, we can measure component uniformity in the Na2KSb cathode film. The more uniform antimony atom density is in the cathode surface, the more accurate the monitor method of film growth by measuring changes of the cathode photocurrent is, thus component uniform can be better, Na2KSb film thickness can be thicker, long-wave absorption of visible light is more, the sensitivity of the cathode is higher. Therefore, during the manufacturing process of multi-alkali cathode of image intensifier, one has to make the uniform antimony atoms density on cathode window surface in order to achieve higher sensitivity.

    Parallax barrier based autostereoscopic display is usually impaired by moire fringe and crosstalk. By using slanted parallax barrier, the moire fringes could be obviously eliminated, but often at the expense of serious image crosstalk. This paper presents a kind of zigzag staggered barrier which can reduce the moire fringe with little impact on the stereo viewing zones. The slits are divided into sections and the adjacent two jagged-edged sections are separated horizontally at a certain distance. This method can reduce the proportion of the perceived black matrix seen through the same slit, which increasing the brightness of the dark part of the moire fringe. In this way widen and weakened moire fringes are acquired. The simulated results show that the minimum perceived moire fringes’ brightness decreases by 108.1% and the viewing zones decreases by 32.8% compared with the vertical parallax barrier. And it has higher practical value for autostereoscopic display.

    To realize phase demodulation using a single deformed fringe pattern in 3D fringe sensing, a method is proposed. In the method, instantaneous frequency estimation of wavelet transform is applied to the deformed fringe pattern, and derivative frequency is used to directly extract the fundamental spectrum of the original fringe pattern from the instantaneous spectrum of its deformed fringe pattern. Firstly, theoretical analysis shows that if the instantaneous frequency at a certain position of the deformed fringe pattern is equal to the fundamental frequency of its original fringe pattern, the derivative frequency at such position is zero. Secondly, the instantaneous spectrum of the deformed fringe pattern is experimentally estimated by Gabor wavelet transform. Finally, the fundamental spectrum of the original fringe pattern is identified and obtained from the above instantaneous spectrum. It means that a single deformed fringe pattern is enough to realize phase demodulation. Experimental results of 3D shape measurement show the good effect of the proposed method in phase modulation.

    Regularized Orthogonal Match Pursuit(ROMP) is widely applied as a signal reconstruction algorithm. Despite its high efficiency, ROMP requires the prior knowledge of signal sparsity, and would be unstable if the sparsity level is improperly estimated. To overcome this drawback, a weak selection strategy was introduced to adaptively determine the number of atoms and the candidate atoms by estimating the relevance between iterative residue and measurement matrix of the original ROMP algorithm. Thus, an optimal atom set for the signal reconstruction procedure could be selected from the candidate atoms according to the regularization principle. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms other greedy algorithms with 0.5~1.5 dB higher PSNR and much lower MSE.

    According to the problem of error accumulation and matched feature points loss in the optical flow feature tracking method, a predictive frame and key frame algorithm framework is proposed based on the new Harris-SIFT feature representation method. The proposed target tracking algorithm was realized by combining optical flow motion estimation and local feature recognition. Predictive frame uses pyramid decomposition and recursive algorithm to compute the motion vectors from optical flow field characteristics. The proposed algorithm gets motion vector of the target and eliminates false matching point from motion vector histogram; when the number of matched point is less than 5, the key frames uses the Harris-SIFT feature point for local feature matching, and affine model was used for accurate target positioning and attitude correction. The experiment results show that the proposed algorithm still can continue to achieve reliable tracking in complex background, target occlusion or temporarily lost case.

The optical transmission, optical absorption, structural property, photoluminescence were measured using a double beam spectrophotometer, X-ray diffractometer, fluorescence spectrometer. The effects of the Zn doping and thermal annealing on the structural and optical properties were investigated. The post-annealed β-Ga2O3 films are polycrystalline. In comparison with the intrinsic β-Ga2O3 films, the intensity of the Zn-doped β-Ga2O3(111) peak becomes weak, the crystallization deteriorates, the (111) peak position shifts from 35.69° to 35.66°. For the post-annealed Zn-doped β-Ga2O3 films, the optical band gap shrinks, the transmittance decreases, the absorption increases, the near-edge absorption appears, and the UV, blue, green emission bands are enhanced.

    Aiming at the quantum signalling repeater network model for multi-user, environment quantum noises effect on remote transmission of signalling was studied. A kind of quantum signaling repeater strategy was purposed after the theory of quantum swapping being analyzed. Then a bus network model was put forward and the success rate of long distance quantum signaling transmission was simulated. The results show that long distance signaling transmission has a close relationship with the noise power spectral density, transmission distance and repeater times. When noise power spectral density is constant and there is no repeater during the transmission process, the success rate declines like plesio-flat-parabola with increasing of the transmission distance. On the condition of constant noise power spectral density and constant transmission distance, the success rate increases obviously while the repeater times is increasing. Therefore, on the behalf of reliable quantum signaling transmission the transmission distance and repeater times should be designed properly under the circumstance of constant background noise.
