For the task of weak-feature target tracking in infrared image sequences, existing methods failed to track the target accurately for lack of information in the target′s surface and the interferences from the strong noise in the scene. Focusing on this problem, a particle filter method is proposed by the Spatial-Temporal Orientation Energy (SOE). The method describes the target by using the SOE histogram. The similarity of the SOE histograms between the particles and the target is employed as the observation input to the particle filter. It is noted that the method is high robustness to target illuminated radiation as the SOE feature reflects target dynamics. Experimental results show that the proposed method has good stability to track targets in different scenes and is more effective and adaptive than the traditional grey-scale feature.

    There is no useful diagnostic technique to measure the shock wave for the target asymmetry in early implosion without extra processing to black cavity and target during the study of laser inertial confinement fusion. The two-axis velocity interferometer system for any reflector was developed based on Shenguang-III prototype laser facility and the experimental results were introduced. Velocity history of shock wave in equatorial and polar of target was obtained by installing small mirror in the target. According to the reflectivity of the material and the influence by the X ray, it is determined that Al is the suitable material for the mirror at present. The difference between the plane shock loading and spherical shock loading was compared. It is found that the accurate for target equipment is the main reason for fewer signals. The diagnostic technique of two-axis velocity interferometer system for any reflector was explored through the experiment, which would give a reference to develop the two-axis velocity interferometer system or multi-axis velocity interferometer system.

    A custom quartz tuning fork which is 5 times larger than commercial standard quartz tuning fork and operated at the 1st overtone resonance mode was used and optimized to improve the sensitivity of the quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy spectrophone. The optimum ecxiting position for the laser beam was researched. Two resonance antinodes were found in the 1st overtone resonance, and the maxium signal amplitude was obtained at a distance of 8 mm from the tuning fork support. Acoustic micro-resonantors with three different inner diameters were configured with the custom tuning fork to evaluate the performance of the quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy spectrophone. With an optinal parameters, a sensitivity gain factor of 30 was achieved with respect to the signal amplitude obtained by the bare tuning fork without acoustic micro-resonantors.

    In order to reduce the impact of the chronic spectral deformation on TDLAS gas analyzer accuracy, a transfer and restoration method was proposed. By comparing the real time spectra with the calibration spectra for validation gas, the deformation coefficient is obtained. The process gas spectra share the same deformation mechanism with the validation gas. So the process spectra can be restored to the calibration state due to deformation transitivity. Consequently analyzer maintains the original fidelity. It solves the tough issue of spectra restoration for dynamic process gas. It requires no adjustment of hardware parameters of optical or electronics system. The spectra are restored through signal filtering, feature extraction and deformation coefficients calculation. In the simulation, the similarity measure maintained 99.999% between calibration spectra and restorated real time spectra. For the experimentally acquired CO2 gas spectra with different levels of deformation, the similarity measure maintained 99.9% between target spectra and real time spectra with Lagrangian interpolation restoration.

    A structure was designed that a 10m thulium-doped fiber is cascaded to 3 m large-mode-area photonic crystal fiber, and soliton self-frequency shift was generated by a 400 fs, 1 550 nm light pulse. At the same incident power, solitons in thulium-doped fiber experience more frequency-shift than that in large-mode-area fiber by 100-150 nm (30% on the average). Output spectra of soliton and pump at the end of thulium-doped fiber show that the stimulated radiation from Tm3+ is generated among 1.8-2.1 μm by residual pump, which results in greater Raman effect and cause the soliton self-frequency shift enhanced. The findings reveal a way to enhance soliton self-frequency shift, and have significance on extension of tunable range of laser based on soliton self-frequency shift.

    The optical properties of self-assembled bilayer InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) are investigated by photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) as a function of the GaAs spacer thickness. First,the PL spectrum change with excitation intensity are investigated,the variation of PL intensity ratio between the seed layer of QDs (SQDs) and the top layer of QDs (TQDs) with respect to the excitation laser intensity reveals that the coupling and subsequently the interlayer carrier transfer between the two layers of QDs decreases with increasing the GaAs spacer thickness. Then, the temperature-dependent PL behaviors, in measurement of the peak energy (Emax), linewidth (Full Width of Half Maximum, FWHM), and the integrated intensity of QDs, show that the GaAs spacer thickness strongly affect the dynamics and the thermal quenching process of carrier in the bilayer QD structrures. At last,TRPL measurements show that the carrier tunneling time of the 60ML spacer QD sample is significantly longer than that of the 40ML spacer QD sample.

    The electronic structures and the absorption spectra of the Cu and Mn mono and co-doped LiNbO3 crystals were investigated by first-principles based on the density functional theory. The results show that the impurity energy levels of Cu and Mn doped LiNbO3 crystals appear within the band gaps, which are contributed by Cu 3d orbital and Mn 3d orbital. The band gap of each doped crystal is narrower than that of LiNbO3 crystal. There are three absorption peaks at 2.87 eV, 2.24 eV and 1.73 eV respectively in Cu∶Mn∶LiNbO3 crystal. The first one and last one come from the electron transitions from Cu2+ and Mn2+ level to conduction band respectively. The second one is not photorefractive and relative with the concentrations of Mn3+. Comparing with the Cu∶Fe∶LiNbO3 crystal, the recording center (Cu2+) is deeper in Cu∶Mn∶LiNbO3 crystal. In the two-center holographic recording, it is practicable to take suitable higher concentration of Cu ion in Cu∶Mn∶LiNbO3 crystal to raise the dynamic range and sensitivity via enhancing the refractive-index change. The selecting of accompanying doping ion would affect the storage parameters, even if the recording center ion (deep level) is the same, so it′s necessary to select codoping ions according to the simulating datum of the different samples.

    In order to overcome the convolutional perfectly matched layer′s shortcoming of the poor absorption effect on evanescent wave in the finite difference time domain algorithm, a method of adding special absorption layer after convolutional perfectly matched layer was proposed. Without increasing the distance between the object and the inner layer of the absorbent layer, the decay factors in the special absorption layer were adjusted to make them constants and the absorption factor was increased from 1 to 10 to enhance the absorption layer′s absorption performance to the evanescent wave. An example in which the plane wave is incident vertically to the single-layer photonic crystal shows that the absorption boundary with the addition of the special absorption layer can keep the convergence of the calculation result when the distance from the scatterer is 5 mesh, while the traditional absorption boundary is required to be separated by 80 grids to ensure the results converge. By using this absorption boundary in the structure, the transmission characteristic curve of the multilayer photonic crystal was calculated and compared with the result obtained by the conventional method, the results were in good agreement with each other. The numerical results show that the method is effective and correct.

    Varied with some optical parameters, such as center wavelength, power, the differential reflectance spectroscopy of unintentionally doped high-purity n-type gallium arsenide were studied by femtosecond laser pump probe technique. These time-resolved differential reflective spectroscopy further analyzed the dynamics of photo-induced carrier of gallium arsenide at room temperature. Firstly, if the pump and the probe power were stabled at 100 mW and 10 mW respectively, the peak differential reflectivity increases with the red shift of center wavelength, and the signal-to-noise ratio increases as well. Secondly, Based on the fitting experimental data of varying pump power and the theoretical model, it is found that there is a linear correlation between the pump power and the differential reflectance in a certain range, through which the saturated carrier concentration of this gallium arsenide sample was calculated as (3.590 1±0.310 3)×1017 cm-3. Thirdly, the dynamics process of photo-induced carriers is divided into three terms: the photo-excitation process (804±67 fs), the initial scattering process (134 ~268 fs), the recombination process with 1 picosecond and 3~6 ps. Last but not least, it seems that the differential reflectance has no significant dependence on the probe power, but the signal-to-noise ratio of the differential reflectance spectrum is correlated with the probe power. In a word, this work not only investigates the ultrafast dynamics of unintentionally doped high purity n-type gallium arsenide, which provides a reference for other materials, but also offers the optimal experimental parameters of pump-probe spectroscopy.

    The ultrafast excited state relaxation dynamics of all-trans-Astaxanthin (AXT) in Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) was investigated using femtosecond time-resolved transient absorption and multiplex transient grating spectroscopies. The results reveal that the S0→S2 absorption transition directly occurs in the AXT/DMSO system, which corresponds to the ground state bleach in the 420~550 nm spectral region. Internal conversion that is ascribed to S2→S1 transition takes place on the time constant of 120~160 fs. The excited state absorption of the S1 state corresponds to the region of the 550~740 nm. The recovery progress of the ground state bleach corresponds to the internal conversion progress, which is attributed to the S1→S0 transition and occurs on the time scale of 4.50~5.50 ps.
