The farfield beam patterns after the magnetic fluid sample are simulated. The scheme for realizing the thresholdtunable optical limiters is proposed. The relationship between the output power and the incident power at several different aperture radiuses and different distances between the aperture and the sample are investigated through theoretical calculations. The results show that the threshold value of the optical limiting system shifts to high power when the aperture radiuses are increased and the distances between the aperture and the sample are decreased. The linear relationship between the threshold value and the aperture radius is obtained. The threshold value of the optical limiting system decreases with the increase of the absolute value of the magnetic fluid characteristic parameter (f). The results presented in this work may be helpful for designing the magneticfluidbased thresholdtunable optical limiters.

    An intracavity frequencytripling of a diodeedgepumped passively Qswitched 1 064 nm Nd∶YAG laser is presented to generate high power 355 nm UV laser. Several essential technologies are put forward to achieve the best beam quality such as a volume grating to maintain quasi phase matching with narrow linewidth, optimization and thermal effects compensation for cavity. The task first takes advantage of volume grating and two CBO crystals as SHG and THG nonlinear optical conversion material to obtain high UV laser power output more than 4 W, light quality factor M2<2.5, meanwhile it is the first time to realize thermal effect using 45° Faraday rotator. The achievement is expected to be the popular light source system in lithography instead of conventional excimer laser.

    Based on systems of semiconductor lasers with two mutual timedelayed couplings and three mutual timedelayed couplings, the influence of coupling delays and coupling strength to isochronal chaos synchronization was numerically studied. A thought that one coupling delay could be seen as feedback delays was presented in the system with two mutual timedelayed couplings. The condition and law for isochronal chaos synchronization was revealed in the system of semiconductor lasers with multiple mutual timedelayed couplings. The results show that the ratio 2 of two coupling delays is a basic condition to achieve isochronal chaos synchronization with high quality. Increasing coupling strength can improve the quality of isochronal chaos synchronization, and when the coupling strength is lower, the system with two mutual timedelayed couplings is much easier to achieve good isochronal chaos synchronization than system with three mutual timedelayed couplings.

    Tm3+ single doped and Tm3+/Yb3+ codoped tellurite glasses with the composition of TeO2ZnONa2O were prepared by meltquenching method. The intensity parameters Ωt(t=2, 4, 6), spontaneous radiative transition rates A, fluorescence branching ratios β and radiative lifetimes τrad of Tm3+ were calculated based on the JuddOfelt theory, and the upconversion luminescence of Tm3+ for glass sample with different Yb3+ doping concentration was measured. The results show that the glass sample can emit strong nearinfrared upconversion emission under the excitation of 980nm pump light. The analysis of Tm3+ upconversion emission process reveals that the intense nearinfrared upconversion luminescence of Tm3+ ions is mainly ascribed to the result of energy transfers: first the resonant energy transfer from Yb3+ to Yb3+ ions, and then followed by one and two phononassisted nonresonant energy transfer from Yb3+ to Tm3+ ions. The energy transfer coefficient and phonon contribution for the above energy transfer process were calculated. Furthermore, the 1.8μm band absorption, emission crosssections and gain coefficient of Tm3+∶3F4→3H6 transitions were calculated and analyzed. The research indicates that Yb3+/Tm3+ codoped TeO2ZnONa2O glass is a promising host material applied for nearinfrared band solid laser.

    Environment temperature changes and vibration will cause the random change of phase difference between two arms in the MachZehnder interferometer (MZI), resulting in the instability of interferometer outputs. In this paper, the effect of temperature and vibration on the 3×3 couplerbased interferometer was studied in detail under natural conditions. Results show that the interference frequency caused by temperature and vibration is mainly concentrated in the low frequency section below 100 Hz. In order to eliminate these disturbances, a singlearm compensation feedback loop was designed to stabilize the output signal, and a dynamic compensation method was proposed based on quadrant judgment for distinguishment of positive and negative feedback. In the experiments, two of the three outputs of the 3×3 coupler are transformed from optical single to electrical one, and drives the piezoelectric ceramic to stretch the fiber wound on it after differential amplifier and other feedback circuits, which dynamicly compensate the phase difference drift of the interferometer and stablize the output namely the third output of the 3×3 coupler. Considering the disturbances caused by the temperature and vibration under nature environment, a stable dynamic compensation device was successfully demonstrated which can effectively suppress lowfrequency interference below 160 Hz, and compensate realtime the phase difference drift between two arms of the interferometer, while the output becomes stable with fluctuations less than 5.64%.

    A telescope fiber coupling system using aspheric lens for coupling freespace optical field into singlemode fiber in allfiber lidar is devised. Its layout is designed and optimized for coupling efficiency into singlemode fiber through ZEMAX software. Moreover, the preliminary experiments are carried out using the LED and laser as optical source, and then the coupling efficiencies of directive coupling and aspheric lens coupling are compared. Experimental results show that the coupling efficiency using aspheric lens for multimode optical source may be increased by 47% than that of directive coupling, which is close to simulating result of 45%, and that the ratio of coupling optical power for different fibers is roughly close to the square of the corediameter ratio. Furthermore, it is shown that the coupling efficiency of this way for singlemode optical source may be raised by 20%, and that the ratio of coupling optical power is approximately 2.4 times more than the square of its corediameter ratio, which is significant to establish the allfiber rotational Raman lidar.

    An improved block density fast algorithm for steadying shaking image was presented. The jitter of camera system was measured by gyro, while the local motion vectors was estimated by the small area fast blockmatching algorithm, and the global motion vector was calculated by least square method. Small area fast blockmatching algorithm, which has high calculating precision, is good at calculating the local motion vectors. So the least square method can exactly calculate global motion vector by using parts of the local motion vectors. For this reason, the black density can be improved to speed up the algorithm and retain the precision of the global motion vector at the same time. The small area fast blockmatching algorithm was optimized by analyzing the block gridding, and then the fast sensor electronic stabilization algorithm was designed. The simulation and experiment show that the algorithm is slightly more accurate and about 89% faster than the small area fast algorithm.

Meanwhile, a novel method is proposed to eliminate blue band of the white LED spectrum. The transmittance of the required optical coating is calculated, and the feasibility of method is analyzed. According to the spectrum of the single LED is different at the different temperatures, the transmittance of the required optical coating is calculated based on the spectrum of the single LED at the temperature 4.9°, 24°, 49°, and the feasibility of using optical coating to improve the temperature stability of the single LED spectrum is analyzed. The results show that the method of using optical film coated on the LED chip does not improve the structure of the white LED to make it similar with the visible light spectrum. The blue band of the white LED spectrum can be eliminated and improve the comfort of the spectrum using the designed optical thin film. The center wavelength and the relative luminous of the analyzed single LED can be stabilized at the 700 nm and 0.2 at the temperature 4.9°, 24°, 49° using the designed optical film.

Some calculation formulas for phase and height are derived. A result of our method is compared with that of the phase measurement profilometry (PMP), which shows that the measurement accuracy of this method can meet accuracy requirement of the measurement. Moreover, this method owns strong ability of antinoise. With large noise, this method also can reconstruct the 3D shape of object.

    The squeezing effect and atomic population of the binomial field interacting with a cascade three level atom are calculated accurately without rotatingwave approximation(without RWA) by using the complete quantum theory. The influences of the binomial state field parameter η on the field squeezing effect and the maximum photon number M of the binomial state field on the atomic population are considered. The results obtained from using the numerical method show that with increase of the binomial state field parameter η, the duration of the squeezing effect increases at first and then decreases. The little indentation oscillation appears in the evolution curves of the field squeezing effect, which is caused by virtual photon without RWA. The period of the revivalcollapse increases with the increase of the maximum photon number M, and the atomic population can not collapse completely in the collapse regime, but displays little indentation oscillation. In addition the influence of the withoutRWA terms on the quantum properties of the system are discussed.

    The false alarm probability of eavesdropping checks on both AliceBob quantum channel and AliceCharlie quantum channel in the controllable quantum secret sharing protocol using GreenbergerHorneZeilinger states proposed by Y. Sun et al. is analyzed. The reason why the total false alarm probability of eavesdropping checks in the controllable quantum secret sharing protocol using GreenbergerHorneZeilinger states is not equal to 0 lies in the randomness of measurement basis selection for eavesdropping checks. Afterward, an improved controllable quantum secret sharing protocol using GreenbergerHorneZeilinger states is proposed, based on using deterministic measurement basis for eavesdropping checks. Theoretical analysis shows that compared with the original one, the improved scheme can discover the eavesdropping from any internal dishonest participant with twice probability, and possesses much higher security. Moreover, the total false alarm probability of eavesdropping checks in the improved scheme is equal to 0.

    Curvelet transform, as a method of multiscale geometric analysis, is more suitable for image processing than wavelet, and more appropriate for analyzing the image edge characteristics of curve and line, which has better approximation precision and sparsity description. In this paper, the methods of integrating SAR image and MS image are proposed based on curvelet transform. SAR image and I image, which is given by a linear HSI transform are given by curvelet transform to obtain coarse coefficients and detail coefficients. The new coarse coefficients are obtained by using edge information and features of SAR image. The detail coefficients are dealt with traditional method that gets max of detail coefficients both I and SAR image.Then, the inverse curvelet transform gets the new intensity I image. Finally degree of distortion and space frequency are used to evaluate the result. The results of experiment indicate that the method excels those of based on HSI or curvelet transform in preserving spectral information and enhancing resolution.

    In electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI), the true phase is generally extracted by the phasestepping method, which can only get the wrapped phase. Before the phase can be used to provide quantitative information, the wrapped phase must be unwrapped. But ESPI fringe patterns are contaminated with high levels of speckle noise, the task of phase unwrapping remains a challenge. In this article, a novel phase unwrapping algorithm based on graphcuts is proposed, which treats the phase unwrapping problem as integer optimizations. By the method of energy minimization, the novel algorithm can accurately extract the phase from wrapped phase images containing large amount of noise without prefiltering. For the same simulated wrapped speckle phase map,the RMSE(root mean squared error) of the traditional MaskCuts and LeastSquare are respectively 11.707 6 and 4.977 5, while the new algorithm's RMSE is 0.9459.Numerical simulation and experimental results both verify the excellent antinoise performance of the new algorithm.
