The living human skin has complex composition of tissue in several distinctive layers with various thicknesses, and different tissues have different glucose dependence of optical properties. Therefore, the calculation analysis method to find the maximum correlation region containing minimum noise to be used for calibration is worth being concerned in noninvasive blood glucose monitoring. We report an algorithm using correlation analysis to calculate the depth of region, which has the maximum correlation between blood glucose concentration and tissue optical properties. The selected correlation region also has the least noise interference from other skin layers. This method can improve the prediction precision of the noninvasive blood glucose concentration measuring and has a value for application.

    A single mode-multimode-single mode fiber optic structure and magnetic fluid based all-fiber optic current sensor, which can be interrogated by monitoring the dip wavelength shift or transmission loss of the transmission spectrum, is designed. For the first interrogation method, the current sensitivity of 1243.7 pm/A [77.9 pm/Oe, 1 Oe=1/(4π)×103 A/m] is obtained. For the second way, the sensing property depends on wavelength. By analyzing the rule of the change of transmission loss under different wavelengths, it is found that when a specified wavelength is used, the sensing property is influenced by different wavelengths and the variation of transmission loss is little, leading to a small sensitivity. When the all transmission loss during broad wavelength range of source is employed, the change of transmission loss is obvious, and hence the current sensitivity is greatly enhanced. The obtained sensitivity of 506.2 dB/A (31.7 dB/Oe) is 337 times and 723 times larger than those under 1529 nm and 1611 nm, respectively. Furthermore, the sensitivity of 26.8 V/A (1.7 V/Oe) is achieved by detecting the output intensity using detector with amplified spontaneous emission broadband light source inputting.

    The improved method of random perturbance amplitude section is proposed to increase the convergence speed of stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm. The SPGD algorithm convergence rate, which can be effected by the random disturbance amplitude, is analyzed when the gain coefficient is fixed. The segmentation random perturbance amplitude method is put forward. The adaptive optics system without wavefront sensor is built with a 61-element deformation mirror to correct the wavefront aberrations, which is simulated by the 65-order Zernike polynomials and the aberrations meet the Kolmogorov spectrum. Compared with the best fixed initial perturbance amplitude SPGD algorithm, the convergence speed increases 1.6 times by adopting the SPGD algorithm based on the segmentation random perturbance amplitude. The improved algorithm is verified to be feasible.

    The self-developed high-speed three-dimensional swept optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) system is reported. Based on fast swept laser technology, the system can realize high speed axial scan (A-scan) rate of 50 KHz. In order to shorten the development cycle, the system software is based on LabVIEW combining with Matlab. Which achieves modular design including timing control, data acquisition, data processing and image reconstruction. The system has a friendly interface and is easy to maintain. It utilizes an external clock uniform in K-space as triggers synchronously generated by the swept source—a K-trigger mode for data acquisition so that a uniform data sampling in K-space is enabled without any other linear wavenumber re-calibracation. Actually measured axial resolution of the system is 8.9 μm. The systerm sensitivity is experimentally determined to be above 100 dB in the whole depth range. This SS-OCT systerm is capable of realtime display of two-dimensional OCT and can obtain three-dimensional OCT with a measurement time of 1.8 s. Vivo human finger segments and apple peel tissue are investigated two- and three-dimensionally. The three-dimensional OCT volumes chearly show the structures of the fingerprint which are difficult to be observed in two-dimensional OCT images.

    Three-dimensional (3D) display has been made great progress in recent years due to the development of the fields on optical information and computer science technologies. Holography enables to provide accurate depth cues of 3D objects and has attracted much attention. Computer generated hologram (CGH) is one of the exceptional way to utilize vivid 3D scene of both virtual and real objects. However, time-consuming holographic computation and ultra-narrow viewing angle are two main disadvantages. The provement on the computer Fraunhofer formulism in Fresnel region is reviewed. Spatial-domain Fraunhofer CGH algorithm, a method, which is used to generate hologram of polygon-based 3D model is systematically introduced. Based on this method, the problems on occlusion, shading, and texture are solved. Also a 4f optical system by time division multiplexing and spatial tiling technique is reviewed. This method can be used in the computation of other complicated 3D scenes with large amounts of data, which is helpful to the development of holographic display.

    Finite-element models of the thermal/stress field for three different scanning patterns, i.e. contour offsetting, long raster and short raster patterns, during laser solid forming (LSF) processes for T-shaped chord of Ti-6Al-4V alloy are developed respectively. It is shown that the component along the vertical direction GYmax of the maximum temperature gradients in the melting pool is much bigger than its component along the scanning direction GXmax. Both GYmax and GXmax decrease in first few layers and then become almost constant with the increase of cladding height. Finally GYmax is about three times as great as GXmax. The instantaneous maximum temperature gradient GTmax for short raster pattern always presents a fluctuation with a small amplitude range and which is smaller than those for other patterns as a whole. The increasing velocity of stress for long raster pattern is somewhat larger than that for contour offsetting, the increasing velocity of stress for short raster pattern is the smallest. When the deposition of the T-shape chords are finished, there exists a residual stress concentration at the back of conjunction of horizontal and vertical parts of the T-shape chord for contour offsetting pattern, at the two ends of the chord for long raster pattern. And the residual stress distribution in T-shape chord formed by short raster pattern is uniform. The residual stresses in different directions on the substrate for these three scanning patterns show the same distribution regularity, but the residual stress of short raster is smaller than others.

    In order to realize molding process of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) micro-structured parts with high efficiency and high precision, a new molding method is presented with laser melting. This paper develops fabrication and experiment devices,and carry out the experiment of laser melting-molding on PMMA microstructures by CO2 laser scanning. According to thermal physics and energy conservation the temperature variation of samples is analyzed with the method of numerical analysis and simulation, and the effects of the various processing parameters on replication quality are investigated via orthogonal experiment. The results show that the temperature of the melt is the main factor affecting the quality of the molding, where high temperature leads to a good molding precision. Laser power is the decisive parameter to influence the replication precision of the micro-structure; scanning time and mould temperature are the secondary factors; molding pressure is the least important among them. At last, the molding process of PMMA microstructure with good replication precision is obtained by optimized process. It is demonstrated that the proposed process is a feasible and effective way to laser melting-molding PMMA micro-structured parts.

    Preset layering powder containing Ti+TiB2P, coarse TiB2P and fine TiB2P are taken to prepare TiB short fiber, with reinforcing Ti-based composite coatings on the surface of Ti6Al4V through laser synthesis in-situ. Volume fraction and length-diameter ratio of TiB short fiber are analyzed by scan electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that the coating is mainly composed of TiB short fiber and TiB2P. When Ti+TiB2P acts as a preset layer, length-diameter ratio of TiB short fiber reduces as the content of Ti increases; when coarse TiB2P acts as a preset layer, the coating is difficult to form a large volume fraction of TiB short fibers; when fine TiB2P acts as a preset layer, high volume fraction and large length-diameter ratio of TiB short fiber can be formed in the coating. The formation mechanism is explained through microstructure evolvement rule of TiB short fiber in the coating.

    In this paper, the laser-driven flyer warm micro-forming method is proposed. Warm forming experiments are carried out using YdYAG laser with wavelength of 1064 nm and 3D morphology of formed T2 copper parts are observed. The influence of temperature (25 ℃, 100 ℃, 150 ℃, 200 ℃) and laser energy (1020, 1380, 1690, 1900 mJ) on the forming depth are analyzed. Hardness variation of the formed parts in forming regions is studied using nanoindentation and the forming mechanism is preliminary analyzed. It is found that better comprehensive performance during the plastic deformation is obtained by the laser-driven flyer warm micro-forming method: not only warm formability can be improved but also the hardness can be improved properly in forming regions. It is concluded that the laser-driven flyer warm micro-forming results from the competitive effects of both the laser shock peening mechanism and temperature soften mechanism.

    Thermal stress caused by oversized temperature gradient in the process of laser cladding ceramic coating on metal substrate usually makes the coating cracked. Reducing the temperature gradient of the laser cladding process can reduce the thermal stress to a certain degree to suppress the generation of cracks. Through numerical simulation of temperature distribution during laser cladding Al2O3 coating on Ti6Al4V substrate, a method of providing preheating and slow-cooling using top hat laser beam is proposed. Temperature distribution and temperature gradient of the coating with preheating and slow-cooling are discussed by changing the spot size and power density of the top hat assistant laser beam. The results show that there is a significant feature of preheating and slow-cooling during the cladding process, the top hat assistant laser beam can reduce the temperature gradient effectively. The temperature gradient of the plastic point (1533 K) of Al2O3 reduces while the preheating and slow-cooling temperature raises. But the temperature gradient of the plastic point will rebound when the preheating and slow-cooling temperature is near the plastic point. Higher preheating and slow-cooling temperature make the cladding process better, but temperature around the plastic point should be avoided.

    In order to study the plasma state for Ni-like Kr 32.8 nm laser, the atomic parameters of the Ni-like Kr 32.8 nm laser system are calculated with Cowan physical code. Based on the level parameters, the rate equations of energy level are established and solved under the quasi-steady-state approximation. The relative population density and the relative gain coefficient between the upper and lower levels of the laser are calculated with different electron temperatures and electron densities. The influence of the sub-levels of 3d94p, 3d94d and 3d94f configurations on laser generation is analyzed as well. The optimum plasma state for Ni-like Kr 32.8 nm laser generation is obtained through theoretical calculation. The best electron temperature is about 75 eV and the optimum electron density is about 1018 cm-3. These calculation results provide theoretical foundation for the experiment of Ni-like Kr 32.8 nm laser pumped by capillary discharge in the future.

    Difference frequency laser used for the study of atmospheric molecule isotope abundance requires stable frequency and continuous idler radiation. A difference frequency generation (DFG) system is established based on a tunable continuous wave (CW) Tisapphire laser and a CW single-frequency NdYAG laser. In the DFG system, frequency stabilization method of iodine molecule Doppler-broadened absorption combined with digital proportion integration differentiation (PID) feedback control technology is adopted to stabilize the wavelength of infrared laser arised from the DFG system, while MgOPPLN is used as the frequency doubling crystal. The NdYAG laser frequency shift is stabilized within 1.2 MHz/h and the stability is 4.26×10-9. The experimental results show that the frequency shift within 1 h of NdYAG laser decreases rapidly with the increase of the voltage loaded on piezoelectric ceramic (PZT), but smaller shift is not achieved beyond 1 V; better stability is not achieved by changing the frequency of modulation voltage. NdYAG laser with stabilized frequency is used to generate difference frequency laser near 3.42 μm. By detecting low pressure absorption line of CH4, the 6.9 MHz line width of this difference frequency system is derived. The results provide not only an important reference for laser frequency stabilization by this technology, but also a stable difference frequency laser for trace gas detection.

    Theoretical analysis shows that splitting ratio of signal paths affects the accuracy of wind speed measurement in dual edge Rayleigh wind measurement technology. Therefore, the splitting error should be calculated when evaluating the wind speed error, and one suitable spectroscopic instrument should be selected as much as possible. Multimode optical fiber beamsplitter and beamsplitter are usually used in lidar. As for beamsplitter, its splitting ratio is affected by the depolarization of the atmosphere. As for the multimode optical fiber beamsplitter, its splitting ratio is affected by the measurement error. According to the analysis, the range of relative beamsplitter change is from 0.07% to 0.63% due to depolarization effects in pure molecular scattering environment. However, the mean value of multimode optical fiber beamsplitter is 1.018, and the standard deviation is 0.4%. Therefore, multimode optical fiber beamsplitter is used in lidar. Finally, the Rayleigh Doppler lidar combined with balloon wind test, the test results show the wind field in good agreement.

In-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and atomic force microscope (AFM) tests are used to demonstrate the relationship between the water absorption and the microstructure of the SiO2 films. The in-situ DRIFTS and AFM results indicate that the water absorption is enhanced while number of pores on the film surface increased. The peaks of absorption center is determined by the surface roughness of the films. Blue-shifted of absorption are evidently observed while the temperature increased from 25 ℃ to 220 ℃.

    A Z-scan system is employed to investigate optical nonlinearity of Bi20Sb80 thin films under low laser intensity. Optical constants and ellipsometric parameters are measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry. Experimental results indicate that Sb80Bi20 films show giant nonlinear saturated absorption. The nonlinear absorption coefficient is about -0.018 m/W. However, there is no appreciable nonlinear refraction effect in measurement. The giant nonlinear saturated absorption is dominant response for super-resolution effect. The calculation result indicates that the squeezed half width of Gaussian spot with about 10% can be achieved in Sb80Bi20 films with thickness of 35 nm. The Sb80Bi20 nanofilms are shown to be very promising for super-resolution applications.

In previous study, the system′s layout is optimized for the tri-rectangular pyramid layout by theoretical analysis of the non-target self-calibration model. On this basis, through error analysis of the linearized measurement model of the system, it is found that the optimal layout, that is the tri-rectangular regular pyramid layout, is obtained, when the condition number of the coefficient matrix of the measurement model achieves minimum. Simulation results show that the tri-rectangular regular pyramid layout can efficiently ensure the accuracy of the system.

    The function of laser pulse energy to the radius of the crater produced by focused laser beam on sample′s surface is derived theoretically under the condition that the fluency distribution of the focused laser beam on the focal plane is Gaussian shape. An aluminum foil, an aluminum reflection mirror and a piece of thermo-sensitive photographic paper are used as samples and the radii of the craters produced by laser beam with different pulse energies on sample′s surfaces are measured with a microscope. The spot size of focused laser beam on the focal plane and the laser-ablation threshold of the sample are measured simultaneously by curve fitting. The laser-ablation thresholds of aluminum and thermo-sensitive photographic paper for 532 nm laser pulse with 15 ns pulse width are determined to be 2.5 J/cm2 and 0.25 J/cm2, respectively. Measurement errors for both spot size and laser-ablation threshold are about ±10%. It is demonstrated that the approach introduced here is able to determine spot size of the focused laser beam on the focal plane and the laser-ablation threshold of the sample conveniently and simultaneously. It is able to be used in researches on laser interaction with solid materials and to evaluate the characterization of a focused laser beam.

    Based on continuous wavelet transform (CWT) in three-dimensional surface reconstruction, the result of reconstruction often depends on the choice of wavelet function. The performance of wavelet function′s spatial and frequency domain determines the efficiency and effectiveness of data process. Different wavelet function itself has different performance, which usually exits different sidelobes in frequency domain. This paper discusses the impact of complex Gauss series wavelets′ frequency sidelobes in three-dimensional shape reconstruction. The calculation results show that frequency sidelobes have a smaller trend with the increase order of complex Gauss wavelet function differential.Meanwhile, theoretical analysis and experiments give the same results in local analysis abilities. In order to illustrate the frequency sidelobe question, complex Morlet wavelet and Mexican hat wavelet function are used to verify this regularity. The experimental results agree well with the theoretical analysis.

    The rotation method is an absolute testing to obtain rotationally asymmetric surface. A compensation method based on rotation-averaging needs a different rotation measurement besides N equally spaced azimuthal measurements, which is called N+1 rotation method. The losing surface of rotation-averaging method can be obtained with the additional measurement data and Zernike polynomial fitting. The theoretical formulas are derived and the validity of compensation method is simulated. The impact of additional rotation angle on algorithm accuracy is presented. The experimental result is consistent with simulation very well which proves that the losing surface can be compensated effectively by this method with an appropriate angle. Compared with the rotation-averaging method, this method can greatly improve the testing efficiency and accuracy by just adding one additional measurement. The compensation ratio is 0.61 and the accuracy is improved by a factor of 1.

Stable dual-wavelength output is obtained by adjusting two polarization controllers. A microwave signal is observed and the central frequency of the microwave signal is around 10.75 GHz. A segment of 10 km-long single-mode fiber (SMF) is used as Brillouin gain, and a 4 m long unpumped polarization maintaining erbium-doped fiber (PM-EDF) and micro-ring cavity, which is composed of 2×2 3 dB coupler, suppress unwanted side-modes. A distributed feedback (DFB) semiconductor laser is used as the Brillouin pump (BP). The output of dual-wavelength fiber laser is injected into a optoelectric detecter (PD) with a bandwidth of 50 GHz. An electrial spectrum analyzer (ESA) is used to measure the microwave signal around 10.75 GHz. Linewidth of the microwave signal is around 600 kHz.

    Aiming at the dynamic routing characteristic of distributed satellite network, a wavelength-preserving all-optical regenerative scheme based on two-stage offset filtering is put forward. By using the property that the signs of chirp induced by self-phase modulation (SPM) are opposite in semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and high nonlinear fiber, a red-shifted filtering and a blue-shifted filtering are done respectively on the signals after the SOA and the HNLF, which not only realizes a two-stage regeneration of signals, but also compensates the frequency offset and keeps the wavelength unchanging before and after the regenerator. Meanwhile, the scheme is of simple structure, small volume and light quality, which can satisfy the limitation of satellite to the payloads. The result shows that the Q factor of signals can be improved more than 1.5 dB, and the bit error rate (BER) can be reduced more than one order of magnitude compared with the result of one-stage regenerator.

    TiC reinforced Fe3Al intermetallic matrix composite coating is fabricated on 0.2% C carbon steel substrate by laser surface alloying with Al-TiC powders blend as the precursor material. The phases composition and microstructure of the composite coating are investigated by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). Through thermodynamic calculating, the dissolution thermodynamic conditions of TiC are confirmed. The dissolution and precipitation behavior of TiC phase are discussed. Results show that the coating mainly consists of Fe3Al and TiC. During the laser surface alloying process, when the temperature reaches 2000 K~2200 K, the TiC powders used as the precursor material begin to dissolve into the Fe-Al alloy melt, as in-situ reinforcement particles re-precipitate from the melt and are scattered with a net shape in the Fe3Al matrix.

    A technique of laser ultrasonic imaging is proposed to detect austenitic stainless steel weld with artificical defects. Austenitic stainless steel weld is scanned using the pulse of NdYAG laser, and the received ultrasonic wave is transformed by discrete sine/cosine transform (DST/DCT) and Hilbert transform (HT). The conventional ultrasound imaging method can not effectively detect the weld edge and the artificical defect, however, laser ultrasound imaging technology, which combines DST/DCT and HT, can not only directly and efficiently detect the weld edge, but can also detect the location, the shape and the size of damage in the weld. Therefore, the laser ultrasound imaging technology based on the discrete sine/cosine transform and Hilbert transform provides the basis for quantiative detection.

    Laser-assisted machining is one of the effective way to solve the problems that the hard and brittle materials are difficult to process. In order to study the influence of chosen processing parameters on the pulsed laser-assisted machining of Al2O3 ceramics, a heat conduction model is established to calculate the temperature field distribution of the workpiece under different parameter combinations. According to the softened layer size of Al2O3 ceramics where the temperature is 1000 K or above, appropriate cutting parameters are determined theoretically. Using related laser and cutting parameters obtained by the theoretical calculation, a cutting experiment is performed, removal rate is calculated, surface roughness and morphology of the workpiece are detected, and the relationship between the removal rate and the surface roughness is analyzed simultaneously. The results indicate that using the chosen processing parameters in accordance with the simulated temperature distribution ensures low surface roughness and high material removal rate during pulsed laser-assisted machining of Al2O3 ceramics. It also indicates that the selected parameters through temperature field simulation can effectively guarantee the requirements to process the hard and brittle materials.

    The correlation occurring between reading quality or marking time of data matrix (DM) code marked on aluminium alloy and laser marking parameters has been studied, and the influence of laser parameters on DM code contrast is analyzed. The experiment result indicates that the optimal laser parameter domain is not simply distributed within a connected real neighborhood, but distributed in a union set of several connected real neighborhoods. The restricted space of laser parameter based on reading quality of DM code is built, and the laser marking process parameters combination with the goal of comprehensive optimal reading quality and marking time is acquired based on this foundation. Meanwhile, scanning electron microscope images and energy dispersive spectrometer data of DM code marked by the optimal parameter module are analyzed, which can explain the distribution of optimal laser parameters in microcosm.

    The irradiation parameters are the foundation to study damage effect of flying target by laser, which include the location of irradiation center point, irradiation area and power density distribution. Taking the laser irradiating horizontal uniform moving target and parabolic moving target as the background respectively, the assumed encounter scene and parameters are given. Then, the analytical calculation models of the location of irradiation center point, irradiation area and power density distribution are derived. The simulation results show that the irradiation parameters vary with the rolling and flying of target. The power density distribution in irradiation area is a varying three-dimensional elliptic Gaussian function. The rolling of target results in varying of location of irradiation center point and irradiation area, and influences temperature field of target and damage effect by laser. The analytical solutions are foundations for analyzing the effect of laser irradiating flying target.

    A pulsed wave Nd:YAG laser is used to weld copper and 316L stainless steel. The microstructural characteristics and interfaces of the welded joints by different laser lap welding of copper and 316L stainless steel are investigated to search for the suitable welded joints and then analyze their mechanical properties. Optical microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) are used to observe the interface of the welded joints. X-ray diffraction (XRD) is used to analyze the phase of the interface. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is used to observe the fracture surface morphology of welded joint. Microhardness and tensile testing are used to analyze the mechanical properties of the welded joints. Results show that intermetallic compounds are absent in the welded joints because copper and stainless steel exhibit unlimited solid solubility. The welded joints with the copper on stainless steel overlap configuration show better microstructure and mechanical performance.

    The width of cut tobacco has significant influences on the physical properties and sensory qualities of cigarettes. Due to the narrowness, complex distribution and different widths properties of the cut tobacco, a width measuring method is proposed based on adaptive image processing technologies. The high definition image of cut tobacco is attained by the scanning of highly numerous pixel linear charge coupled device (CCD). Widths are measured by applying series of image processing courses, such as binarization, image segmentation, decontamination, refining, edge extraction and matrix turning. Applying this method on actual cut tobacco images, a well adaptability to the complex distribution of the cut tobacco is verified. Additionally, accuracy is confirmed by contrasting the measurement results with standard template that fabricated from E-Beam lithographic tools.

    Crystal tiling technology is a good way to solve the problem of nonlinear crystal aperture limit in the process of optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA), which can improve the output ability of the amplifier effectively. To solve the problem of precise control of the phase matching angle and the crystal machining error compensation in crystals tiling, a OPCPA crystal tiling method composing of the adjustsment independent and the error compensation is proposed. A 2×2 array crystal tiling adjustment structure and a 2×2 active array mirrors are designed. Each sub-crystal can be rotated three degrees of freedom to achieve the purposes of initial adjustment tiling angle and phase matching. 2×2 active array mirrors which are driven by nanometer accuracy piezoelectric actuators are used to compensate the cutting error of the tiling crystals. An experiment is conducted to test the feasibility and stability of the crystal tiling system using transmission elements and get good results. The result indicates that the crystal tiling technology is practical.

    For aberration compensation requirement of projection objective lens in deep ultraviolet lithography, the stress analysis of the lens in eccentric adjusting is carried out. A kind of lens supporting with multi-flexure is designed based on compliance matrix method. Regularity between the adjusting force and the surface figure of the lens is investigated. Relationship among the adjusting force, the peak valley (PV) value, the root mean square (RMS) value and Fringe Zernike coefficients of the lens are analyzed using the finite element method. The results show that the aberration can be restricted by reducing the adjusting force. By using flexible support mechanism for absorbing adjusting force, the PV value and RMS value of the upper surface of the lens are 2.704 nm and 0.528 nm, the lower surface are 2.984 nm and 0.571 nm respectively in full stroke eccentric adjusting. The PV value, the RMS value and Fringe Zernike coefficients of the lens vary linearly with the adjusting force. The adjusting force does not change the nature of the aberration. The aberration is mainly astigmatism.

    Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) combined with the standard addition method is used to detect the Cr concentration in soil. With the Cr 425.435 nm line as the characteristic line and Fe as the internal standard element, the Cr calibration curve is established. Based on the fact that when the Cr mass fraction is below 250×10-6, the spectral intensity of characteristic line has a linear relationship with its mass fraction, the limit of detection is 9.69×10-6 and the detection range of the standard addition method is obtained. The standard addition methods with one and five extrapolated points are studied. For five-point standard addition method, the relative error of test results of Cr in soil is less than 7%. For one-point standard addition method, the relative error is less than 10%. Detect one soil sample by one-point standard addition method for five times, the relative standard deviation (RSD) of the test results is 4.66%, which is relatively stable. Experimental results show that LIBS combined with standard addition method can perform well in quantitative detection of Cr in soil.

    Continuous background spectrum is an important influencing factor of laser induced breakdown spectrometry (LIBS) quantitative measurement of multi-element heavy metals in water. According to the characters that the background spectrum changes slowly and full width at half maximum of characteristic spectral lines is narrow, the sliding window integral slope algorithm for removing continuous backgrounds is studied. Seting appropriate window width and slope threshold to identify the background spectrum and characteristic peaks, the assignment is carried out on window background, the background spectrum is extracted completely. The experimental results show that the signal-to-background ratios of plumbum and copper are 5.7 times and 1.95 times respectively to that before removing the background, the relative standard deviations are reduced by 2% and 2.5% respectively. The sliding window integral slope algorithm is a stable and effective method for removing backgrounds in LIBS, and also provids an reference for removing backgrounds in other optical spectrum analysis technology.

    The two-photon polarization spectroscopy (TPPS) of 87Rb atoms is reported based on the 5S1/2-5P3/2-4D5/2 ladder-type atomic system. Compared with other transitions, the cycling transition shows much better signal-to-noise ratio. TPPS cycling transition signal versus intensity of the pumping laser is investigatived. The frequency of a 1529 nm laser diode is stabilized to the 5P3/2(F′=3)-4D5/2(F″=4) hyperfine transition of 87Rb atoms by using TPPS. The minimum value of Allan variance σy(τ) is 1.3×10-11 at the interrogation time τ of 100 s. Compared with the free-running case, this new method remarkably improves the long-term frequency stability of the 1529 nm laser.
