On the basis of the extended nonlinear propagation equation without normalization in metamaterials with the firstorder to thirdorder nonlinear dispersion effects, the dispersion relation and gain spectra of modulation instability were deduced by adopting the linear stability analysis and the Drude electromagnetic model. Variations of the equation coefficients and gain spectra with the normalized angular frequencies were calculated and discussed in real units in both the positive and negative refractiveindex regions in cases of selffocusing and selfdefocusing. The results show that, the thirdorder nonlinear dispersion coefficients are all along positive in both the positive and negative refractiveindex regions. In the negative refractiveindex region, with increase of normalized angular frequencies, the spectral widths of the gain spectra increase before become zero and the peak gains increase before decrease and then become zero in the selffocusing case. While in the case of selfdefocusing, modulation instability can only occur near the forbidden band and both the spectral widths and peak gains decrease monotonically. In the positive refractiveindex region, modulation instability can only occur in the selffocusing case. And the spectral widths increase monotonically and the peak gains decrease before increase with the normalized angular frequencies. Generally, the thirdorder nonlinear dispersion is detrimental to modulation instability generation.

    In order to improve the quality of laserinduced breakdown spectroscopy and derive the optimal experiment condition, the change of the radiation intensity of laserinduced stainless steel plasma with and without a small carbon chamber is analyzed, which is excited by a high energy rubidium glass pulsed laser. The mechanism of the laser induced plasma radiation intensity is discussed by measuring the electron temperature and electron density. The results show that when laser plasma is confined by a small carbon chamber with the height 9.0 mm and the internal diameter 4.0 mm, the spectral line intensities and signaltonoise ratio of the sample elements increase substantially. So the spectral quality can improve effectively by using the method of spatial confinement.

When cross relaxation was considered, the rate equations of every level particle were obtained while Nd3+ “green” novel liquid laser medium was excited. The relation between Nd3+ concentration and 4F3/2 luminescence strength was researched using rate equations, while absorption spectrum and luminescence spectrum were measured. The results show that the luminescence strength increases with concentration firstly and then decreases with concentration.

    Freespace selfbending of nondiffracting Airy beams was theoretically investigated with Schrodinger's equation, the factors influencing selfbending were analyzed, which were linked to actual physical quantities, and the method of acceleration control of Airy beams with gradientindex material was given. The selfbending property appearing during propagation of one and twodimensional Airy beams was numerical simulated. Moreover, the numerical simulation results that the deflection of Airy beams can be compensated and reversed with proper control. The relationship between the propagation length of compensated finite Airy beam in a gradientindex material and the decay factor was discussed. The results show that the compensated finite Airy beam can keep nondiffracting propagation when intensity of the central lobe decays from maximum to eighteen percent of the maximal value. The relationship between the propagation length of compensated finite Airy beam in a gradientindex material and the central lobe width as well as the wavelength was also studied, respectively. In practical application, three appropriate parameter values and a right gradient refractive index material can be selected through the dependent relationship between the decay factor, the central lobe width as well as wavelength and the propagation length of compensated finite Airy beam at the instance of the propagation length of compensated finite Airy beam, and optimal control of Airy beam can be realized.

    Gainflatness is a crucial parameter in wavelength division multiplexing system design. In this paper, the gain flattened theory by using multistage cascaded fiber was presented. The effective distance and Raman gain coefficient constraints were calculated. When spectrum was fitted by linear lines, the gainflattened condition was simplified. The optimal gain value was obtained by cascading two stage fibers. The pure silica fiber and phosphorusdoped fiber were cascaded as the typical example. The results show that with the increasing length of the first stage fiber, the signal gain was firstly increased and then reduced; when the first fiber length was 7.15 km, 5.78 dB average maximum gain and 0.45 dB gain flatness were provided by Matlab. Pump power and signal gain was positively correlated. Three stage fibers were cascaded with different materials as the last example. 7.74 dB average gain and 0.57 dB flatness were verified by Matlab which proves the accuracy of the theory. This scheme provides a novel way to design gain flattened Raman fiber amplifier.

    In order to theoretically reveal the effects of signaltonoise ratio and the required bit error rate level on limit communication rate of a discrete multitone datalink, in this paper, the electrooptical transfer function of the transmitter, the opticalelectro transfer function of the receiver and the total transfer function of generalized visible light communication channel were analyzed. Mathematical modeling of discrete multitonevisible light communication system was finally established by sufficiently considering the time and frequencydomain responses of visible light communication channel. Fomulative relations of limit communication rate versus signaltonoise ratio and bit error rate level were derived. Analytical results show that, under definite signaltonoise ratio, the limit communication rate reveals doubleexponential increasing relation with bit error rate level; under definite bit error rate level, the limit communication rate reveals Boltzmann variation trend versus signaltonoise ratio. With the universal white light emitting diode and PIN detector, when the signaltonoise is 25 dB, the limit communication rate is within the range of 200~228 Mbps for requiring a bit error rate of <10-3, which shows good agreement with the reported experimental results (202~231 Mbps).The novel thereotical analysis method and mathematical modelling proposed in this paper can also be adopted to evaluate the limit communication rate of any discrete multitonevisible light communication system, and therefore they are efficient in system parameter optimization and component selection during the design of such kind of systems.

    Noise reduction is an important image preprocessing for improving the quality of image. Shearlet transform, as a method of multiscale geometric analysis, is more suitable for image processing because of better approximation precision and sparsity description. A novel approach based on the bandlimited shearlet transform and total variation for image denoising was proposed. Unlike traditional hard threshold method, different thresholdings were used at each scale to obtain good estimate. The reconstruction image was used as initial image of total variation minimum method. Numerical examples demonstrated that the approach is highly effective at denoising complex images. Compared with other methods in multiscale geometric analysis domain, such as nonsubsampled contourlet transform, curvelet transform and hardthreshod method of shearlet transform, the denoised image in this paper removed the noise while retaining as much as possible the important signal features and details such as edges and texture information.

    The traditional spectrum algorithms are limited in face recognition problem. For its characteristics of problem, a novel method based on multireproducing Kernel Hilbert space was proposed. Firstly, the images were processed by the landmark method, and the angle of training images could be obtained. Secondly, the face data was iterated by the Kernel, then face data expressed linearly in the reproducing Kernel Hilbert space. Thereafter, for many types of face data, the multireproducing Kernel Hilbert space were established. Finally, the reproducing Kernel Hilbert space belonging of human face image was judged by the comparison of training images, and the multiangle face recognition achieved. The two classes of data sets were selected as the experimental data, which consisted of FERET and CMUPIE. A large number of experiments were carried out. The results show that the proposed method has great effect to recognise multiangle face. The average recognition rate and efficiency are 5% and 20% higher than the traditional algorithms, respectively.

    To overcome the problem of illumination, facial expression and pose variants in 3D face recognition, the algorithm based on the Gabor features combined with kernel collaborative representation is proposed. Collaborative representation classification algorithm uses similar faces to describe testing faces collaboratively. Via solving sparse coefficient by l2 norm, collaborative representation classification algorithm can classify the testing face correctly according to reconstruction error. This method extracts 40 Gabor features with different scales and orientations of depth maps by the Gabor filter firstly. Secondly, these features are mapped to a highdimensional space by selecting an appropriate kernel function. Finally, nonlinear dimensionality reduction and feature selection fulfill the recognition task in highdimensional space combining with collaborative representation classification. Extensive experiments on Kinect Face Dataset and Texas 3D face database demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is more effective than recently algorithms even when the number of training samples is small.

    The circularviewing hologram can show 360° reconstruction of a object, so it has a great application value. For the purpose of increasing the viewingangle of the image and reconstructing it by white light, a new two steps method, Which combined computer with optical holography for making the circularviewing hologram, was proposed considering of the computer generated hologram. First, the algorithm of computer generated circularviewing plane hologram was studied, the propagation principle of object wave was derived, and the distribution pattern of the object wave on the recording plane was obtained meanwhile. Next, the influence of the angle between reference light and object light on spatial frequency of the hologram was discussed, the spatial frequency could be decreased by using a point reference light source, so it could increase the viewingangle. However, the image could only be viewed by laser. To solve this problem and to reconstruct the hologram by white light, optical setup for imageplane hologram was designed as the second step. Then, the relationship between spatial frequency of the hologram and the size of object, and the relationship between spatial frequency of the hologram and the viewing angle were deduced, and the curves of the relationships were also calculated. Finally, a 3D modeling gray object was used and the circularviewing hologram with large side viewing angle which could be reconstructed by white light was made. Therefore, the calculation method and optical design were verified. For circularviewing plane hologram, the technique can record realexisting objects and virtual objects and achieve the image by white light, and it can increase the viewingangle of the reconstruction at the same time.

    The slotwaveguide is widely used in the integrated optical waveguide devices and systems. Therefore it is very important to develop a practical theoretical method and model for guiding the design of such devices and systems. By means of analyzing the physical mechanism of the slotwaveguide and the modes transmitted in it, a novel theoretical model was built to describe the electric field distribution in the slotwaveguide. The novel theoretical model was developed based on the conditions of regarding the nanowaveguides and the slot region as a whole system and of introducing both the guided wave and the radiating wave in solving the Helmholtz equation. In order to verify the proposed theoretical model, the theoretical results were compared with RSoft simulation results, a practical optimum design reported by other researchers, and a theoretical method developed by other researchers. The comparison results show that the proposed theoretical model has higher accuracy in describing the slotwaveguides. Finally, the significant condition of the proposed theoretical model was analyzed and determined. Take a typical SOI slotwaveguide with the nanowaveguide size of 180 nm×300 nm as an example, the critical slot width worked out at 96.2 nm.

    The impact of using visible/near infrared reflection and diffuse transmission spectra to detect the soluble solids content of Gannan navel oranges was studied. Vis/NIR reflection and diffuse transmission spectra of 196 Gannan navel orange samples were acquired by using a QualitySpec spectrometer in the wavelength range of 350~1 800 nm. Regarding these 196 samples, 147 samples were used as the calibration set to build calibration model, and balance 49 samples were used as the prediction set to validate model.Then a variety of pretreatment methods combined with partial least squares regression was used to develop the prediction models of SSC of navel oranges corresponding to a single spectrum and an average of three times spectra for Vis/NIR reflection and diffuse transmission spectra respectively. It is found that the diffuse transmission spectra prediction model is much better than the models of a single spectrum and an average of three times spectra. The partial least squares regression prediction model of Gannan navel orange based on the average of three times diffuse transmission spectra combined with multiplicative scattering correction pretreatment method performs the best, and the correlation coefficient and the root mean square errors in the calibration and prediction model are 0.980, 0.230°Brix and 0.949, 0.374°Brix respectively. So the average of multiple diffuse transmission spectra is more suitable for detecting the SSC of navel oranges.

    Based on Bayesian condition probability formula anc combined with convolution theorem, a theoretical formula is derived that utilizes output and response functions to acquire input function with deconvolution. According to the performance parameter in spectrograph and pointspread functions of main sources(theoretical formula of slit diffraction, grating diffraction and optical system aberration) the pointspread function of the spectrography is derived, and then this function is used to rectify the measuring result based on Bayesian deconvolution; using the difference of spectrum data before and after deconvolution, the concept “standard deviation of spectrum curve” is introduced to judge the data accuracy of the deconvolution output. The experimental result indicates that this method can effectively eliminate the influence of point spread function through iteration of system output, recover the original spectrum data from a “blurred” curve, and ultimately improve the accuracy of spectrograph.

    The weighted radiance of LED is one of the most important parameter in photobiological safety evaluation of LED, so a special measurement system was established which combined of a CCD camera simulated of the human eye imaging and a spectrometer. Reference the testing requirements in the standards, the deficiencies of the traditional luminance meter were analyzed theoretically and two typical LEDs were measured by the traditional luminance meter and the retina radiance meter. There were great differences between the weighted radiance in photobiological safety evaluation and the radiance in traditional optical measurements, and the special requirements made the traditional luminance meter cannot be able to measure the weighted radiance. Finally, the differences between the two luminance meters were introduced and test results were analyzed using the two luminance meters. The experimental results show that the weighted radiance of the white LED tested by the traditional luminance meter is 81.8 W/m2·sr, but the value is 137.0 W/m2·sr when the LED is tested by the novel system. Obviously, traditional luminance meter is not suitable for measuring the effective radiance and it will underestimate the hazard.

Because the existing specific band intensity detection instruments have the disadvantages of high cost and easy to expand, a new method of rapid detection of specific waveband intensity was presented. Taking red and blue as an example, the percentage of specific waveband accounting for sunlight was obtained. By using Matlab, the least squares method was adpoted for fitting function, combining with the calculation formula of sun elevation angle, and a multiparameter coupling model between the percentage of specific waveband accounting for sunlight and the date, time, latitude and longitude was established. The specific waveband intensity was rapidly calculated by realtime detecting the intensity of sunlight. Experimental results showed that measurement error of the method is less than 4.5%, which can satisfy the need of light intensity detection of the subband of light filling system.

    As the limit of fuze space in conventional ammunition, it is impossible to arrange a number of laser receivers. Meanwhile, the system structure should be as simple as possible, so the traditional beam layout cannot be directly applied. Therefore, a new receiving system utilizing the technology of optical large field rotary scanning was proposed. Based on the optical structure of laser fuze and the aspherical optical design theory, a set of multilevel optical focusing plastic lens were devised by using the application software called Zemax. Compared with the traditional singlestage focusing lens, the brightness of center irradiation was enhanced by nearly 8 times, the size of spot was decreased and the energy was centralized, which were shown by the simulation results. Then, a set of aspherical lens were developed as well as the related experiments.

The scintillation luminescence principle and light intensity distribution are analyzed, a XRay light field imaging system is designed based on camera arrays, and the scintillation luminescence model is simulated. Camera arrays in 3ds Max is used to capture the light from scintillator and get the images from different viewpoints. The light field data is generated that is similar to the data from microlens based system and get the images of arbitrary planes in the scintillator using the digital refocus algorithm. The simulation experiments show that XRay imaging system without using light field photography has a small depth of field; only a part of the scintillators are focused by optics and the defocused rest will decrease the image resolution; on the contrary, system with light field photography can extend the depth of field of the optical system to reduce the requirement of the scintillator thickness without changing the basic structure of the optical system; it can also get the image of the same resolution. The simulation provides theoretical basis for the establishment of real model.

    Aiming at the problem of poor imaging quality due to the different thicknesses of the same palm, a method of getting the palm vein images was proposed based on multiillumination using nearinfrared region (NIR) light. The exponential relationship between illumination intensity and palm thickness was figured out according to the optical model of the human palm and dynamic range of the CCD. Firstly, three different intensities of NIR light with the same wave length of 850 nm were be used as illumination in the experiment to obtain the palm vein images respectively. Secondly, palm vein images were divided into several subimages which are with high contrast. Next, the adaptive equalization was employed to enhance palm vein images. Finally, the method of weighting gradient splicing was applied to obtain the integrated palm vein images. Experimental result shows that the fusion method can improve the contrast of each part of palm vein images effectively compared with the transmission method with single illumination intensity and the reflection method. This method can be used in several application fields, such as venipuncture, biometrics and is of great value in the areas of identification recognition and the information security in the future.
