As a new spectral analysis method, terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) is rapidly developing in many fields. Conventional THz-TDS systems have a long detection time and a small amount of collected data. To improve THz-TDS system′s detection speed and accuracy, a rapid THz-TDS data acquisition and control system based on closed-loop control are presented. The system can perform continuous scanning and data collection with a high speed. When performing step scanning, it can get real-time location information of the optical delay line by the delay line′ s feedback signal, and thus can complete automatic scanning rapidly. By acquiring multiple data continuously in a single step, the accuracy of acquisition in every step is improved. Results show that the system can take full advantage of the optical delay line to achieve a highest data acquisition speed of 500 kHz. When the step length is 5 mm, the time of continuous acquisition of 1000 data is only 86.34 ms, which means the system can perform automatic and rapid acquisition of terahertz time-domain pulse signal with high precision.

    Photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) are investigated. The polarization cross-coupled distributions of both polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber coil and ordinary polarization-maintaining fiber coil are tested at various temperatures utilizing white light interferometers. Changes of polarization coupling intensities of fixed polarization cross-coupled points in fiber coils at different temperatures are also analyzed. The obtained results show that, in the temperature range between -40 ℃ and 50 ℃, the maximum change rate of polarization coupling intensity of photonic crystal fiber coil is 0.97%, while that of ordinary polarization maintaining fiber coil is 4.71%, which is almost five times as the former one. Thus it can be concluded that the coupling intensity of photonic crystal polarization maintaining fiber coil possesses better stability against temperature changes than that of ordinary polarization-maintaining fiber coil.

    The transmitted beam through the large-core multimode fiber is investigated by using CCD beam profiler. The energy distribution and beam quality are discussed, thus the transmission characteristics of the multimode fiber are obtained. The single mode laser is chosen as a testing light source, and the study is conducted by applying multimode fiber with different core diameters and lengths. The results show that the multimode fibers have shaping effect on the input beam including beam quality degradation and homogenization of the energy distribution. Besides, the deterioration of the beam quality and the homogenization effect have dependence on the parameters of the multimode fiber. The larger diameter of the multimode fiber leads to more serious deterioration of the beam quality as well as better homogenization effect. A positive correlation between the transmitting length and the homogenization effect is also found. This study can provide a simple and effective scheme for the shaping of the single mode laser. By selecting multimode fibers with various parameters, the quasi uniform beams with different characteristics can be got to meet special laser processing demand.

    In order to improve the accuracy and the speed of reconstructed image in the pre-magnification digital holographic microscopy system with spherical reference wave, the generalized linear reconstructing algorithm based on homomorphic signal processing (GL-HSP) is analyzed by computer simulation and experimental verification. Through using the algorithms based on fast Fourier transform (FFT) method and GL-HSP algorithm to reconstruct the intensity and phase information of texted samples, the reconstructed results clearly show that the GL-HSP algorithm not only has higher reconstructed accuracy, but also has higher reconstructed speed. As the GL-HSP algorithm chooses the whole quadrant as the filtered area, it has all of the high frequencies. So the GL-HSP algorithm is more suitable for high-accuracy reconstructing the micro-subjects. At the same time, the results of standard deviation in the experimental date quantitatively show the superiority of the GL-HSP algorithm.

    The fiber coupling is an important method of semiconductor laser integration for improving light beam quality and remote communication. But due to the limits of semiconductor laser volume and thermal dissipation, the output light after integration of laser has still larger beam parameter product (BPP), which is not easy to couple with a single multimode fiber. The packing ratio of fiber bundle is another factor to limit direct couple with fiber bundle. In order to get high efficiency couple integration light source of multi semiconductor laser into fiber bundle, optical amplify system is adopted to compress the beam diameter. Microlens array is used as coupling element, which makes the pupil of lenslet image on the end of fibers. One- to- one coupling is achieved and a fiber coupling system with no loss in theory is come ture. To improve aberration effect due to rim ray, hollow light pipe is employed to further homogenize light field. Furthermore, divergence angle of rim ray is reduced and its imaging quality is improved. The coupling efficiency of optimized system can be up to 98%. The system utilizes microlens array for beam splitting and imaging, which overcome the shortages of larger BPP and not easy to couple with single fiber. The system makes the pupil of microlens to image at the end of fibers and gets the same arrange spots image with that of the fiber bundle, thus, coupling efficiency of both light beam and fibers are improved.

Microstructure is investigated by means of optical microscopy (OM), energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Micro hardness of weld is tested by micro hardness tester. The results show that the weld joint of dissimilar steel with good quality could be obtained by fiber laser. In the position of 304 fusion zone, d-ferrites are gradually decreased with the increase of welding speed. The microstructures of welding metal close to 304 stainless steel is planar crystal while that close to E36 and welding center are columnar crystal. With the increase of welding speed, the quantity of cellular crystal of welding metal close to 304 stainless steel is increasing and so does cellular crystal of welding center, but there has no significant change in weld microstructure near the E36. Weld zone is mainly consisted by martensites and a small amount of carbides. Microstructural evolution caused by welding speed is not obvious. Composition of welding line zone is well-distributed. However, there is composition gradient on both sides of the fusion zone,which is influenced significantly by welding speed. Lath-shaped martensites ferrites and pearlites are produced on the heat affected zone of E36. The highest hardness value appears on welding center .The hardness of weld zone and E36 heat affected zone is increasing with the increase of welding speed.

    For exploring and proving the relationship between semiconductors lasers′ electrical derivatives and their reliability, 12 semiconductor lasers are put in series to electric accelerated aging until the devices do not work. Monitor the variation of semiconductors′ electric derivatives in the process. Then, the figure is gotten by dealing the experimental data. The experiment finds that the dip of the electric derivative curve at the threshold becomes smaller in the accelerated aging process; The characteristic parameter of junction and the intercept of the electrical derivative above the threshold at I=0 become larger in the accelerated aging process. And the variable of characteristic parameter keeps a small one early. Then, it becomes larger and keeps a large one some time. Finaly, it decreases quickly and keeps a small one. The phenomenon indicates that there are three stages of deterioration of devices: devices deteriorate slowly early, then deteriorate quickly and keep for some time, and devices deteriorate slowly again. There is a close relationship between electric derivatives and lifetime of devices and the deterioration of devices, and electric derivatives can characterize state of semiconductor lasers.

    Effects of femtosecond laser irradiation on GaAs/Ge solar cells are studied. Optical microscope and noncontact optical profilometer are used to measure the surface morphology of the solar cells and the the volt-ampere characteristic test system is used to test the photovoltaic properties. The damage degree of ablation on the surface morphology and electrical properties is analysed. The results indicate that when the laser energy density is below 0.53 J/cm2, the damage only reaches the anti-reflection film. With the increase of laser energy density, the damage depth of the solar cell is increasing, when the laser energy density reaches 0.78 J/cm2, the damage gets to the emitter region. With the density increasing, the electric properties such as short circuit current, open circuit voltage, maximum power and filling factor suffer a certain degradation. The decay amplitude of the electric properties increase at first and then decrease. Among all the evaluated electric properties, maximum power degrades most remarkably. In conclusion, laser irradiation could induce a great damage in GaAs/Ge solar cells, which influences the electric properties directly.

    The 4×4 transfer matrix method is applied to study the transmission and reflection characteristics of one dimensional photonic heterostructures. The key research is the effect of stress-induced anisotropy. The simulation results show that defect-mode in the photonic band gap move distinctly along with the change of photonic crystal′s thickness. A linear relationship is presented with the change of the defect-mode′s move and its thickness. The study further explore the stress-induced anisotropy. With different materials, the defect-mode′s displacement is either strengthened or weakened depending on the stress-induced anisotropy. Considering the higher requirement for the precision of sensors, these features of photonic crystal show potential values in the designation and production of pressure sensors.

    In consideration of phase drift and intercept-resend (I-R) attack, the quantum key distribution (QKD) system based on double Mach-Zehnder interferometers is analyzed, the model of detectors′ input signal is built, and the formulas are presented to describe the relationship between the phase drift angle and quantum bit error rate (QBER), as well as the drift angle and eavesdropping information. Meanwhile, a possible method to increase the key generation rate is proposed. Analysis shows that phase drift causes extra errors and damages the system stability. Compared with I-R attack under ideal conditions, eavesdropping information declines, thus the eavesdropping information estimated by privacy amplification could decrease and the final key generation rate would increase. Regardless of the relative phase drift in transmission fiber, QBER varies with phase drift as cosine function, whose period decreases by half under total I-R attack, meaning more sensitive to phase drift. When eavesdropper chooses to attack 55% of all keys, she can gain 25.5% information undiscovered.

To improve calculating speed, the pixel-by-pixel overlapped sections in the three of frame images are selected as the gist for auto-focus algorithm. The auto-focus system consists of charge coupled device (CCD) camera, focusing mechanism, hardware circuit and so on. The new auto-focus algorithm combines captured overlapped areas and estimated similar frame difference method to search overlapped sections. In the overlapped sections, selecting the focusing evaluation function and step length realizes the transition from fast rough adjustment to accurate one and reaches the best state.

    The generation and propagation of internal wave occurs beneath the sea water, conventional methods such as field observations are restrained by weather conditions as well as other factors, it is difficult for researchers to get enough valid data. Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) become the important research data sources of internal wave because of its large coverage, high temporal resolution, freedom data download, etc. A wide range observation of internal wave is possible with it. Based on data from MODIS, study on internal wave is conducted from June 2010 to June 2012 in South China Sea (0°N~23°N,102°E~121°E). A statistical analysis of temporal and spatial characteristics of internal waves is given. The results show that internal wave generates with a high frequency in the northwestern South China Sea, especially around Dongsha Atoll area which originates from Luzon Strait. In areas around 115°E east to Hainan Island, crest of waves have an obvious distinct characteristics from the waves of Dongsha Atoll, it is possible that there are local generation of internal wave. The temporal distribution of internal wave shows that most of internal waves are observed in summer and observation comes to the least in winter.

    Emission spectroscopy is an important method for plasma diagnostics. The intensity ratio of spectrum lines at 763.51 nm and 772.42 nm is used to estimate the electron excited temperature of the thermal plasma jet under the low pressure plasma spray. Impact of different power levels and detection distance on the electron temperature in the thermal spray plasma jet under Ar/H2 flow rate of 40 L/min/15 L/min is investigated. Electron number density of the plasma jet is determined using stark broadening of Hβ , impact of changes of the detection distance is also studied. An increase in input power considerably increases the electron temperature, while it is found that electron temperature decreases with detection distance from nozzle exit increasing from 150 mm to 450 mm, and the increase of detection distance from l00 mm can remarkably reduce the electron number density. After that, there is little change of electron number density.

    In the online detection of total phosphorus for water quality, due to the limitation of measuring accuracy of micro-spectrometer and some external interference, the stability of spectral data is damaged so that the detection stability and precision is affected. Kalman filter and non-linear regression method are used to deal with spectral data on the basis of ultraviolet spectrophotometry, and then the relationship equation between absorbance and concentration is established. Thus the content of total phosphorus can be calculated. The method can improve the stability and precision of online detection. The problem of stochastic disturbance and system error can be solved very well. It can be used for real-time monitoring of total phosphorus.

    To solve the problems of noise and redundancy in spectra regions which partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLSDA) encounters, synergy interval partial least squares discriminant analysis (SiPLSDA) is proposed and is used in the qualitative analysis model of near infrared spectra of pork. With the help of synergy interval partial least squares (SiPLS), SiPLSDA can select the spectral regions where the prediction model is constructed. Antaris II Fourier transform-near infrared (FT-NIR) spectrophotometer is used to obtain near infrared reflectance (NIR) spectra of pork samples in the range of 10000~4000 cm- 1. NIR spectra are preprocessed by standard normal variate (SNV) transformation. A qualitative analysis model of NIR spectra is built by SiPLSDA. The experimental results show that according to the SiPLSDA prediction model, the recognition ratio of pork storage time is up to 93.94 % and it is higher than that of PLSDA.

    Terahertz (THz) detection is a novel and very effective coherent detection method,and both abundant amplitude information and ample phase information of materials which need to be detected and consequently contrast can be achieved.The THz spectral properties of several kinds of water are investigated based on the terahertz time domain spectroscopy (THZ-TDS) system.A sort of iterative approach is given,in order to avoid the result error caused by weak absorption approximation,which improves the traditional methods of data processing of transmission spectroscopy of terahertz time-domain.Compared with different filters,Symlets9 wavelet filter is considered to be optimal filter.The exponential change laws of refractive index and absorption coefficient with frequency are gotten with square of correlation coefficient up to 0.9 upwards.The results indicate that both square of correlation coefficient and fitting curve parameters of different kinds of water are different,which can be defined as the criteria to distinguish water quality.

    Study of the chemical compositions and fired technologies of ancient colored glaze of Qing dynasty official kiln is very poor. Chemical compositions and elemental mappings of Au glaze bowl of Qing dynasty are studied by micro-X-ray fluorescence analysis. The results show that Cu,Fe,Mn, Au are the mainly colored elements and Pb is a kind of solvent. Moreover, the red glaze of bowl is a kind of high temperature glaze, but the golden, light yellow and green glazes are the kind of low temperature glazes. The elemental mappings show that the eyes of goldfish are painted by colored pigment mixed by Cu, Au, Fe, Pb, the whole body of goldfish is painted by a kind of pigment mixed by Pb and Fe, but the scales of goldfish are painted by colored pigment mixed by Au and Pb. Furthermore, the grades of purity of different colored pigments are very high and no other metallic elements except that the colored elements are detected in our experiment. This can be regarded as the reference to authenticating the genuineness of the color pigments of Qing dynasty.
