A new kind of cylindrical lens array (CLA), named as hybrid element cylindrical lens array (HECLA), which composed of a few whole elements and two half elements, is proposed in this paper. The intensity distribution along the focal line formed by HECLA-target line focusing system with quasi-four-element and quasi-five-element is calculated. The results show that the using of HECLA is able to improve the intensity uniformity along the focal line greatly. For example, the modulation index decreased to 1.7% for quasi-five-element HECLA in the case of super-Gaussian distribution laser incident.

The influences of the fast gain saturation and the length of SOA on the performances of terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer (TOAD) are investigated in this paper. Two operation modes, small width switching window mode and large width switching window mode, are all analyzed. It is found that the fast gain saturation has great influences on both the shape of switching window and the switching energy, and the dependence of the switching energy on the control pulse width are completely different for the two operation modes. In addition, we find that effect of SOA length can greatly reduce the amplitude of the secondary switching window, which indicates that by properly choosing the length of SOA, the switching window width can be reduced and the speed of TOAD can be increased.

“Peak crosscorrelation scan re-registration” algorithm aiming at the recovery of the distorted OCT images is proposed in this paper. The image distortion related factors are analysed theoretically. Digital filtering allows the distortion information to be derived from the peak crosscorrelation functions. A gray threshold is set to avoid the influence of the noise in crosscorrelation. To reduce unexpected misregistration induced re-registration fault, the maximum value of re-registration is limited, as a result the fault-tolerance of the algorithm is greatly improved. In addition, the paper also gives the distorted images and the restored ones, together with the suggestions to decrease the cumulating errors of the algorithm.

43 patients were received fluorescent diagnosis induced by small dose of hematoporphyrin (2 mg/kg). 35 of them were cancered. The rest were non-cancered. By recording and analyzing the spectrum of fluorescence with optical multichannel analyser (OMA), managing the data, it was found that the fluorescence intensitics were 1.18±0.13 for cancered patients, 1.00±0.06 for non-cancered patients. Using the floor level of the formar 1.05 as tumor diagnosis criterion, the positive rate was 91.4%.
