The acoustic sensitivity of mandrel interferometric fiber-optic hydrophone with three layers(coated layer,flexible tube,mandrel) was analyzed. Modeling was built with three-dimensional elasticity analysis. Results show that the major factors which influence the acoustic sensitivity of the hydrophone are elastic modulus,wall thickness,outer radius of the tube,and sensing fiber′s length and diameter. Young′s modulus,Poisson′s ratio and thickness of encapsulation layer and mandrel have little effect on the acoustic sensitivity. A number of hydrophone samples were produced. The theoretical value of their acoustic sensitivity is -150.7 dB (re rad/μPa),and the average measured values is -151.3 dB (re rad/μPa). The range of measured values is -151.9~-150.5 dB (re rad/μPa),the difference between theoretical value and the measured value is less than 1.2 dB(re rad/μPa). Experiments also show that encapsulation process of packaging has some influence on the acoustic sensitivity.

    The transmissive Gires-Tournois etalon (GTE) is proposed based on composite couplers. By combining such GTEs with Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI),we obtain a new interleaver. The output expression is derived and numerical simulation is performed. The simulation indicates that it has good passband flatness (flat-top),large isolation,wide passband and stopband bandwidths. By optimizing the spectrum it shows that when the sum of cavities of GTEs is fixed,the larger the passband bandwidth gets,the smaller the isolation will be,i.e.,isolation and bandwidth are incompatible. However,this contradiction can be overcome by increasing the sum of cavities,i.e.,interleaver′s spectral performance can be enhanced by increasing cavities. Compared with the ring resonator assisted interleaver,the proposed interleaver can achieve rectangle spectrum without using the phase shifter and its spectrum is uniform in the whole wavelength band. Further more,a set of cascaded ring resonators is proposed as the dispersion compenastor to overcome the dispersion of the interleaver. Dispersion compensation ability is very good and can be enhanced by increasing the number of ring resonators.

    The relation of temperature level function with the outside surface solar absorptivity,outside surface emissivity,inside surface emissivity,angle of sun incidence is fitted respectively. The relation of temperature difference function with the thermal joint conduction and the heat conduction of drawtube is fitted respectively. The curve fitting function formula accords with the theory. The result shows that when the outside surface solar absorptivity and emissivity change from 0.05 to 1,the changes of temperature level in the star sensor system are 149.89 ℃ and 147.44 ℃. The effect of the inside surface emissivity on the temperature level is obviously smaller than that on the outside. When the angle of sun incidence is ±11.97°,the temperature level is the highest. The temperature difference effect of the thermal joint conduction and the heat conduction of the drawtube has a non-sensitivity region. When the thermal conductivity is more than 60 W/(m·K) and 200 W/(m·K) respectively,the thermal conductivity effect on the temperature difference is small.

    Based on the basic principle of wavelet transform,the shortage of one-dimensional complex Morlet wavelet transform in demodulating the tilt fringe pattern with two carrier frequencies was analyzed. Then the method of two-dimensional (2-D) fan wavelet made up of a series of 2-D complex Morlet wavelet was proposed to demodulate such patterns. We compared the two methods through processing deformed fringe patterns with two carrier frequencies. The results show 2-D fan wavelet has better ability to obtain the useful information because it can analyze the signals by adjusting both the scaling factor and rotation angle to reach the optimal match between the singles and wavelet functions. That is,2-D Fan wavelet has advantages to dispose two-frequency components grating patterns because of its multiple-directional property.

    The Goos-Hnchen (GH) shift is investigated for a Gaussian beam reflected by a two-dimensional photonic crystal using the transfer matrix method. With frequencies in stop band,the GH shift is small for a perfect photonic crystal,while it is several times of lattice constant for photonic crystal with adjusted radius of air hole in surfaced layer. The property is helpful to improve the coupling efficiencies between photonic crystals and other micro-/nano-optical devices.

    Chirp matched optical parametric chirped pulse amplification method (OPCPA) has been proposed by studying the variation of OPCPA gain spectrum with the pump optical center wavelength. Taking nonlinear KDP crystal as an example,the temporal and spectral gain characteristics of the chirp matched and mismatched OPCPA methods have been studied. Furthermore,the changes of the temporal and the spectral profiles before and after the OPCPA have been analyzed in details. The results show that the gain narrowing phenomenon becomes significant for the chirp mismatched case. However,the gain spectrum width is greatly increased by using chirp matched method,eliminating the gain narrowing phenomenon.

    The studies on coherent control of extreme nonlinear optical properties via few-cycle laser pulses in atomic and atomic-like systems are reviewed,including self-focus effects on extreme nonlinear optics,self-induced transmission,resonant multipole vector solitons,etc. Due to the transverse effect,the 2nπ sech-pulse deformes and breaks up during the propagation. With further propagation,interference of the crescent-shape pulses,constructive interference and self-focusing phenomena are observed. Conventional area theorem is invalid in the study of ultrashort pulse in quantum wells. By defining effective area,the self-induced transmission of ultrashort pulse with effective area of 2π is investigated. The formation and propagation of resonant multipole vector soliton with weak light intensity are studied in a tripod-type atomic system,in which large nonlinearity and nearly vanishing absorption are achieved due to the quantum interference effect.

    Our research of the representation theory of nonparaxial light beams and their physical properties such as a global parameter of a unit vector,the orbital angular momentum,the transverse effect,and the so-called spin Hall effect of light is introduced. On the basis of the plane-wave spectrum expansion,a representation formalism for finite beams is developed. After postulating a Jones vector that acts as a global quantity to represent the beam′s polarization,another global quantity,a unit vector is introduced. Both of the two global quantities are important in the representation formalism of finite beams. By using this formalism,the total angular momentum of an arbitrary free electromagnetic field is separated rigorously into spin and orbital parts,both of which are dependent on the state of polarization and the polarization ellipticity. In addition,the observed so-called spin Hall effect of light in both refraction and reflection is explained satisfactorily in terms of the change of the characteristic unit vector.

    The electron spin dynamics of Ⅲ-Ⅴsemiconductor InP and Ⅱ-Ⅵ semiconductor CdTe are studied by using femtosecond time resolved circularly polarized pump probe spectroscopy. Experimental results show that the spin relaxation time in CdTe with a few picoseconds is faster than that in InP. With the increase of the excitation photon energy,the spin relaxation time constant decreases monotonically. However,with increasing the carrier concentration,the spin relaxation time constant first increases,reaches a maximum and then decreases. This result coincides with theoretical prediction based on the microscopic kinetic spin Bloch equations in which Coulomb interaction is considered.

    Galvanized steel is widely used in industry due to its excellent corrosion resistance. However,the zinc coating greatly reduces the welding process property of galvanized steel. As a new technique,laser welding is implemented to realize the joint of galvanized steel. There are two unique characteristics,zinc vaporization and zinc plasma,existing in deep penetration laser welding of galvanized steel. The key issue of laser welding of galvanized steel is the influence of the zinc vapor during the welding process. The reduction and elimination of the zinc coating evaporation are the fundamental methods to avoid the influence of the zinc vapor. Based on the key technology of laser welding of galvanized steel,varied welding processes and solutions are discussed to improve the quality of the laser welding,including specific processes,process parameters and simulation optimization,as well as the online monitoring and controlling during the welding process.

    Compared with spherical gold particles,rod-shaped ones exhibit more unique properties of surface plasma resonance (SPR). Gold nanorods have two SPR peaks. The lengitudinal suface plasma resonances position depends on rods′ aspect ratio. Thus,the LSPR′s position can be controlled from the visible region to the near infrared by adjusting the aspect ratio of gold nanorods. Gold nanorods have great potential use in biological tissue imaging,cancer diagnosis and therapy because of it′s SPR and strong absorption induced luminescence. Au-ligand conjugates can specifically target the receptor on cancer cells,provide specific information about specific molecules,and allow molecular-specific imaging and cancer detection. Gold nanorods can efficiently absorb optical energy into localized heat,and induce protein denaturation and cells death.The optical properties of kinds of gold nanorods are summarized,and the research progress of selective targeting of gold nanorods in biological imaging,cancer diagnoses and photothermal therapy is reviewed.

The results show that the influence of the aspect ratio on Mueller matrix elements of hexagonal ice crystals in random orientation is quite large in certain angular regions,and it varies with the size parameters of the hexagonal ice crystals in random orientation. In addition,there is a nodical point in the profiles of mueller matrices of hexagonal ice crystals with the same sizes but different aspect ratios,and this point will extend forward with the increase of the size parameters of particles.

    There are two main principles of UV light emission of ZnO thin films fabricated by different methods:micro-resonant cavity light emission and random light emission. The variation of the intensity of light emission of ZnO thin films grown by the two methods with detection angle was studied at the same condition and the variation tendency of the intensity was also analyzed. It is proved that they have different principles because of the different crystal structures. ZnO thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition have hexangular column honey comb like structure and its column borders play the role of light amplification reflecting mirror and form micro-resonant cavity. So the lateral surface has the strongest light emission. ZnO thin films grown by thermal oxidation have granular nanomicro-crystal structure and photons are scattered through grains. Light amplified emission occurs from the randomly scattered closed paths. So its intensity of light emission varies with the detection angle slowly.
