Taking account of the fact that the laser medium always cannot contact completely with the heat sink, the temperature of the laser medium is computed and its thermal effect is studied. Phase difference near the surface has a sizable fluctuation and therefore complicates the thermal effect. The fluctuation near the surface becomes greater with the increasing pump power, while the change of its depth is unconspicuous. The phase fluctuation as well as its depth reduces with the increasing contact area. At low pump power, the diffraction loss increases linearly with it, the larger the beam radius, the bigger the slope, when the pump power increases to some values, the slope becomes smaller, especially the beam with larger radius. Compared to the smaller radius beams, the larger radius beams has bigger losses for all powers. The variation of the diffraction loss with the contact area is not significant in small beam radius, while the diffraction loss increases with the contact area reduces in larger beam radius.

    Near infrared laser illumination is in low illumination situation, using near infrared lasers as the light source for long-distance target active lighting. Because of the laser generation mechanism, the optical system tolerance, atmospheric turbulence and other factors, the laser intensity spatial distribution on the target plane is not uniform, which has great impact on image resolution and tracking accuracy. In this paper, the area surrounded by normalized PSD (power spectral density) is adopted to evaluate the near infrared laser illumination intensity uniformity. Using this method, different near infrared laser illuminator′s uniformity evaluation parameters are studied, in the same work condition. The results verify the reasonableness of the laser power spectrum as an evaluation parameter.

    In order to design and optimize high frequency performances of laser diodes, accurate extraction methods for the rate equation parameters are very important. A method for the rate equation parameter extraction for long-wavelength and high-bandwidth buried tunnel junction vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers is presented. This method bases on the threshold current, output power, resonance frequency, damping factor and nonlinear effect of the gain compression factor under high bias currents. By fitting the chip frequency responses with different bias currents, resonance frequency and damping factor values can be obtained. Finally, by considering gain compression factor and nonlinear fitting resonance frequency and damping factor values under different currents, parameters of rate equation model can be extracted.

    The performance of the energy-saving lamp in the market has some disadvantages generally, such as low light efficiency, uneven illumintation and high-glare lighting. For this point, a high uniform and low glare LED eye protection lamp is designed. This design joined the aspheric reflector cup lampshade to collect a large angle of light emitted by the LED light source, which raised the light energy utilization and improved glare. This design added the light distribution lens to eliminate the center bright spots which exist in receiving plane and solve the illumination problem.

    Errors will be introduced in the fabrication process of InP arrayed waveguide grating, consequently affect the performance. To control errors best, and improve the performance of the device, the systematic errors and random errors of InP-based arrayed waveguide grating was analyzed by adopting transmission function method. It is come to a conclusion from the simulation result of systematic errors that: the deviation of effective index of the deep-ridge waveguide nc changes every 0.000 1, the central wavelength shifts 0.05 nm. The length difference of adjacent arrayed waveguides ΔL changes every 0.01 μm, the central wavelength shifts 0.44 nm. They will consequently cause the shift of whole optical spectrum, but the channel spacing and crosstalk will not be changed. The deviation of the radius of Rowland circle will not change the central wavelength but change the channel spacing. R increases every 50 μm, the channel spacing decreases 0.03 nm. According to the simulation result of random errors: the refractive index of core layer, the cladding layer and the substrate layer of the waveguide, the waveguide width and the thickness of core layer′s random fluctuation can deep affect the crosstalk. According to the analysis above, central wavelength and channel spacing can be tuned by changing different parameters, thereby, improving the optical performance of the arrayed waveguide grating.

    Based on the coupled mode theory, analytical expression of crosstalk per unit length between two dielectric waveguides is derived. The minimum separation and center-to-center separation of two dielectric waveguides under certain crosstalk are defined. The minimum center-to-center separation serves as a measure of waveguide integration. The influences of waveguide size and refractive index difference on the minimum center-to-center separation are investigated. The analysis and simulation results indicate that strongly confined waveguides have small minimum separation and center-to-center separation. Under the condition of large refractive index difference, the minimum separation can be reduced to less than 1 μm. The minimum center-to-center separation has a minimum value for given wavelength and refractive index distribution.

    An all-fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer sensor based on Bitaper-LPFG-Bitaper structure is proposed and fabricated, and the temperature sensing characteristic of the sensor is analyzed. The experimental results show that the sensor presents different characteristics at the different resonance wavelengths by changing the distance between the two bitapers, for the fixed structures parameters of the two bitapers and LPFG. The sensitivity of the sensor reduces with the increasing distance between the two bitapers at the shorter resonance wavelength, but increases at the longer resonance wavelength. When the length of the sensor is 16.5 cm, its sensitivity reaches 0.102 06 nm/℃ around 1 680 nm. The research work is important for the optimization design of temperature sensor consisting of bitaper and LPFG.

    A broadband light source with high spectrum intensity in 500~800 nm is required to ensure a good performance in optical displacement sensor. Considering the lighting LED’s low spectrum intensity after 700 nm, a broadband LED source was developed for optical displacement sensor. Firstly, tests on wavelength sensitive detector WS 7.56 fixed at the back end of optical displacement sensor were performed and the threshold of the light source spectrum intensity to ensure the linearity of optical displacement sensor was proposed. Then, by using (oxy) nitride red phosphors to enhance the LED spectrum intensity of red light to infrared, the broadband LED source was developed to satisfy the threshold of the light source spectrum intensity. Finally, a good performance of the broadband LED was proved by displacement sensing experiments. The broadband LED source is comparatively a perfect light source which can satisfy the needs of optical displacement sensor and have superiority in size and efficiency.

    In order to reduce the adverse impact of the inhomogeneous of pulverized coal components, different optical path systems were set up and used to research the collection performances of plasma of pulverized coal by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. The coal samples, Shenmuhun, was chosen for experiment. The detected count and stability of special lines of coal in different optical collection were investigated on the self-built two-phase particle flow experiment bench, which was used to produce stable pulverized coal stream. The analysis results show that in the steadily repeat measurements, the counts of the lines collected by back-side are weaker because of the intermediate perforated mirror, while the stability of the lines collected by side are worse because of the position change of plasma along the laser beam, the spatial inhomogeneity of plasma and the blocking effect of pulverized coal.

    Combined Gauss function with Maximum Average Correlation Height (MACH) algorithm, Gauss-Maximum Average Correlation Height (GMACH) filter is designed. The Hybrid-Distortion target (existing the scale distortion and rotation distortion simultaneously) could be recognized with GMACH filter. In order to improve the Hybrid-Distortion target response ability of the GMACH filter, the standard deviation σ, output noise variance coefficient α, the average correlation energy coefficient β and average similarly measure coefficient γ are optimized and balanced. Through the simulation experiment, it is known that the arbitrary hybrid-distortion target can be recognized by a single GMACH filter within the distortion tolerance range (the scale distortion tolerance is 0.92~1.16 times and the rotation distortion tolerance is -8~24 degrees). As experiment example, a plane under cluttered background was recognized using the GMACH filter. Experiment results prove the feasibility of this method.

    To obtain the weak signal light detection from the high background noise, a study on ultra-narrow bandwidth Faraday anomalous dispersion optical filter (FADOF) at the 87Rb D1 line, 5S1/2F=2→5P1/2 F′=1transmission (795 nm) is demonstrated experimentally. A sample cell filled with Rubidium atoms in which the proportion of 87Rb is greater than that of the nature rubidium is placed in a homogeneous magnetic field between two crossed Glan-Thompson polarizers. The incident probe light goes through the sample cell, and interacts with the atoms.Because of the Faraday rotation, the function of the filter can be realized. When the experiment condition changed, the result of transmission spectrum changed accordingly. With the temperature rising from 340 K to 360 K, the variation of the transmission spectrum is recorded particularly.And the reason for the variation is analyzed carefully. At a proper temperature and magnetic field, a transmission spectrum narrowed to ~220 MHz is obtained, and the peak transmission is about 48%. The performance of the87Rb D1 line is better than that of the 85Rb.
