To effectively reduce the packet loss probability (PLP) and guarantee quality of service (QoS) of different priority bursts, a deflection routing mechanism is proposed based on priority and burst segmentation in optical burst switching networks. In the core node, contention is resolved through incorporating prioritized burst segmentation with deflection routing scheme. The burst segmentation scheme allows the head of contending bursts or the tail of original bursts to be segmented. The segmented burst is scheduled on the optimum deflection path by the parameter-tunable deflection routing scheme. An analytical model is proposed to evaluate the contention resolution scheme through calculating PLP and the normalized end-to-end delay. Results show that high-priority bursts have significantly lower PLP and the delay than low-priority. So the deflection routing mechanism based on priority and burst segmentation can effectively resolve the issue of the burst contention, and improve the performance of OBS networks.

    Based on the non-linear Schrdinger equation which suits the optical soliton propagation,by using the symmetry split-step Fourier transformation, the transmission evolution of super-Gaussin pulse in the zero dispersion region was simulated and the effect of attenuation, high order chromatic dispersion, high order non-linearity and initial chirp on propagation was analyzed. Some conclusions were obtained: attenuation has a great effect on the pulse amplitude but little on the shape of the pulse. The amplitude and pulse width of basic soliton pulse are always at the same standard when the pulse transmitted a certain distance, which is the ideal media for optical communication. As for the high order soliton pulse, it is changing all the time. When all the influence factors come to work together, it has a great effect on the pulse propagation. However, selecting a reasonable combination of these factors, it is possible to get a high order soliton pulse to transmit information. This result has certain amount of valuable reference significance on the study of improving the relay distance between two optical repeaters by strengthening the input power of pulse.

    The relationship between reflected polarization properties of apodized low-birefringence fiber Bragg gratings and temperature effect are analyzed theoretically. Numerical value simulates reflection spectrum of the apodized low-birefringence fiber Bragg gratings, polarization dependent loss and differential group delay curves with wavelength.The reflected center wavelength, polarization dependent loss and differential group delay which evolve with wavelength are measured under different temperature and the curves are drawn accordingly. The evolution of polarization dependent loss and differential group delay are analyzed according to the results of the experiment. In the experiment, reflected polarization dependent loss presents two peaks which shift to an equal extent as temperature changes and it indicates that polarization dependent loss has no significant difference. The maximum of difference group delay with temperature increase linearly shifts to long wavelengths and it is proved that the loss of orthogonal modes has changed equally. The synthetical theory analysis and experimental results show that the evolution of reflected polarization properties of apodized low-birefringence fiber Bragg gratings changes obviously with temperature changing and the changing of orthogonal modes presents proportional characteristics.

    Existing color separation diffraction grating spectroscopic methods are generally discussed on parallel incident light,and there is little discussion of the case of non-parallel incident light.Based on the Fresnel diffraction theory and the angular spectrum theory,the spherical wave propagation field and plane wave diffraction wave field are linked together,and angle function parameters are imported.Combined with fractional Talbot effect theory,the dual-wavelength wide-angle incident wave field function is derived.The numerical simulation of the function is presented to calculate the diffraction distribution in different locations,which are compared to standard parallel incident wavefield distribution and calculated horizontal broadening and offsets.By adjusting the width of grating steps,the diffraction field broadening and offset is compensated.Each single-wavelength diffraction width is less than half of the grating period,thereby reducing the dual-wavelength optical diffraction aliasing.In this paper,the relation between the wave field width and grating step width is presented.The step width curve is fitted based on multi calculate points on the phase grating and the grating parameter can be used to achieve well spatial separation of dual-wavelength wide angle incident light.The result is available for a variety of wide angle incident situation,such as dual-wavelength imaging,LCD display,LCD projection,etc.

    The sub-wavelength micro/nano structure surfaces have an excellent anti-reflective property. Based on application foundation of silicon-based solar cells response spectrum of 300~1 200 nm, reflection characteristics of two-dimension micro/nano structure surface were calculated influenced by the surface face forms,structure parameters with duty ratio,height and period,and incident angle of light waves,using the finite difference time domain method.Further analysis was done by effective medium theory.The results show that the reflectivity is large for the grating structure of uniform section,and the influence of structure parameters is small; anti-reflective performance of a taped gradient section structure is much better,and the reflectivity is observably reduced with duty ratio and height increased; and it also showed that the reflectivity is a little smaller at the incident angle range of ±40°.The simulation and analysis on reflective property of sub-wavelength micro/nano grating structure,provide the basis on the design and fabrication of anti-reflection surfaces.

    Metal-enhanced fluorescence from CdTe nanocrystals placed in close proximity to novel synthesized Ag/TiO2 core/shell nanoparticles films is studied. The Ag/TiO2 core-shell nanoparticles are synthesized in the aqueous solutions by colloid chemistry method. Transmission electron microscopy images show that mostly Ag/TiO2 core/shell nanoparticles are clearly core/shell structure and ball-shaped. The deep black cores are Ag nanoparticles and the light-colored shell are titania. In addition, the UV-Vis absorption spectra of Ag nanoparticles have a surface Plasmon absorption at 409 nm arising from the particles. A similar surface plasmon absorption due to Ag nanoparticles is observed for the titania-coated Ag nanoparticles at a wavelength longer than for the Ag nanoparticles. This absorption shift is caused by a high refractive index of the titania shell and strongly suggests a complete coverage of Ag nanoparticles with titania. The as-prepared Ag/TiO2 core-shell nanoparticles are assembled with the CdTe nanocrystals and spin-coated on the quartz glass. Significantly enhanced fluorescence emissions are observed, implying that enhanced fluorescence from Ag/TiO2 core/shell nanoparticles films is mostly due to an electric field enhancement effect. The current work is available for the applications in light emitting device, fluorescence imaging, and biological detection.

    Silicon monoxide (SiO) thin films is one of the most commonly used optical film in short-wave and medium-wave infrared. High packing density for enhancing the spectra stability and the quality of the optical thin film elements is extremely important. Used 99.99% purity of the SiO bulk materials, SiO thin films were prepared by molybdenum boat thermal evaporation in 5×10-4 Pa vacuum pressure at different deposited temperature, while deposition rate was monitored and demonstrated at 1.2~1.5 nm/s by quartz crystal oscillation controller. The thickness of the thin films on silicon substrate is about 2.2~2.4 μm. Used the Fourier transform infrared spectrometer to test the spectral characteristics of SiO thin films before and after the thin film suck tide, and according to the wavelength deviation dispersion theory, calculated the packing density. The results show that as the deposition temperature increased, the packing density increased, from 0.91 at room temperature to 0.99 at 250 ℃.

At the same time the relationship between motion compensation times and relative rotation error was outlined. Based on 1/3 principle, the guide line of scanning mirror′s motion precision testing equipment was proposed. In succession a set of testing equipment found on 0.8″ absolute optoelectronic encoder was established. The testing precision of testing equipment was analyzed carefully from the testing method error and the encoder′s error aspects.

    For the further development and exploring the instantaneous laser velocimetry, the laser beat frequency velocity interferometry is analyzed and its applications and future development are discussed. Based on the key technology of it, the concept of time-divided laser velocity interferometry is proposed. It uses the time delay τ in the laser beat frequency velocity interferometry, in which the interferometer is keyed to measure, respectively, the displacement and velocity in the time range 0~τ and above τ, to determine the velocity of the first front edge in the shock process (i.e., solve the uncertainty of fringe losing). In addition, it provides a higher upper bound of velocity measuring with lower hardware requirement (i.e., with lower requirement for the bandwidth and sampling of the oscilloscope). Combining with the consideration of the property of shocking and explosion process, the parameters are selected properly, the fiber time-divided laser velocity interferometer is designed, its primary applications are investigated, and the application results show its effectiveness.

    When the ship target is far away from infrared/visible compound seeker, the target information and features are very weak which can be extracted from the infrared and visible images, and conventional image registration algorithms are hard to take effect on the registration of infrared and visible image with small target. To solve the problem, an infrared and visible image registration algorithm is presented based on sensor parameters. Firstly, according to the imaging model of compound seeker, the image registration is decomposed to two independent steps (field of view registration and shift registration). Secondly, the field of view for different sensors are registered using the sensor parameters. Finally, the shift registration is performed by matching point located based on horizontal high pass energy image and sea-sky line. The experimental results prove that the method is feasible and effective, and can be used in the actual registration of infrared and visible image with small ship target.

    In the process of enhancing the image compression, the traditional image enhancement method has some difficulties in the details recovery and generates blocky effect easily. A new method of JPEG2000 compressed image enhancement is proposed by applying the thory of Retinex into JPEG2000 compact frame. The dynamic range of scene illumination is adjusted through two low-frequency coefficients non-linear mapping with the low frequency coefficients as the wavelet transform and the high-frequency coefficients as the reflected light. By adjusting the high frequency coefficient, image contrast is enhanced,so that the image detail is trended overall. Then illumination quantity table is modifyed and more details is retained and block effect is controled through judging activities of each sub-block and adaptive quantization.The experimental results show that this algorithm performed well in the reinforcing effect and the compressed quality,etc.

    An algorithm for line segments detection in digital image was proposed to improve the computation and the robustness of the traditional algorithm. The image gradient is meaningful to detect the edge of structure in the image; therefore its module and direction are computed in the first step. According to the pseudo-sort result of the gradient module, the region-growing method is implemented to enlarge the pixels with the same direction, where the connected pixel region is considered as a candidate region of line segments. Finally, enclosing rectangle is used to describe and judge the candidate region by long axis and short axis of the rectangle, belong which the long axis that meets the requirement is the desired line segment. Based on MATLAB program, an experimental simulation was performed. Experimental results depicted that 108 line segments after 8.87s of computation were detected by the proposed algorithm; which saved 17% of computation time and also detected 16% line segments more than the traditional LSD algorithm. This algorithm can accurately and quickly detect line segments in many complex environments in the image.

    A robust zero-watermarking algorithm resisting JPEG compression and geometric attacks is proposed, since digital images always face with JPEG compression and geometric attacks through transmission. An original image is split into non-overlapping blocks, and each block is conducted with singular value decomposition.Then, each block′s singular value matrix is transformed with Harr wavelet transformation. The zero-watermark sequence is produced by judging the numerical relation between the mean of diagonal elements of singular value matrix′s low frequency band from two adjacent blocks. The mathematical theoretical analysis shows that the zero-watermark sequence is essentially produced by judging the numerical relation between the mean of singular value matrix′s singular values from two adjacent blocks. The proposed algorithm has perfect visibility due to no alteration made to the original image. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has strong robustness to resist JPEG compression and several geometric attacks such as rotation, scaling, random row & column removal, row & column shifting, print-and-scan.

For the improvement of pit-trap shape on mc-Si surface, a new method is presented that the passiviation of Si surface is done to reduce the acid reaction velocity. A series of experiments are carried out in which mc-Si is textured in the acid solution containing different content of additives under the same technology parameters. Samples′ structure is observed using scanning electron microscope, and the reflectance spectrum is measured by spectrophotometer. The SEM of experimental sample′s surface illustrates that the textured surface is full of a lot of pit trap with the good light trapping effect. Moreover, the deep ditch like valley, which increases the leakage current of mc-Si solar cells and reduces the conversion efficiency, is not found in the surface. This method is valuable for the improvement of solar cell efficiency.
