When investigating the scattering intensity distribution produced by a glass bead which is illuminated by a collimated beam with single length, Debye theory can be used to simulate and discuss the scattering properties. It is found that the intensity distribution of the k-order rainbow recorded by a detector which is on the left of a spherical particle is the superposition of the diffracted rays, the external reflected rays and the k time internal reflected rays primarily. The intensity distribution of the k-order rainbow on the right of the spherical particle is the superposition of the diffracted rays, the transmitting rays and the k time internal reflected rays mostly. When the wavelength of incident light is constant, the refractive index of the glass beads will change the degrees of the minimum deviation angle in the scattered light intensity distribution on the detector, and their diameters have no effect on the position of minimum deviation angle. Experimentally, the scattered intensity distribution of the first and the second rainbows of the glass beads with different refractive indices and radius are analyzed, and are compared with the geometrical method, which agrees with the result of simulation in Debye theory. This result shows that the proposed assumptions are reasonable, which can be used to measure the refractive index of the glass beads through testing the minimum deviation angle formed by the light scattering.

    The micro-lens array is the core component of Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor. According to the phase modulation principle of liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LC-SLM), the LC-SLM generates dynamic micro-lens array with tunable focal length, aperture size, and arrangement of sub-apertures. Hartmann wavefront sensor based LC-SLM is used to split the incident light. The average slope of each sub-aperture is tested. The phase distribution of wavefront is reconstructed. Then the wavefront aberration is corrected in one step. After aberration, the Strel ratio of the light wave changes from 0.12 to 0.59. For the micro-lens array generated by LC-SLM, heir focal length, adjacent spacing, numbers and performance are discussed in theory and experiment. The results show that the dynamic Hartmann sensor using LC-SLM has the advantages of tunable sub-aperture size, numbers and arrangement according to the external conditions.

    For the next generation of Chinese geostationary meteorological satellites (FY-4) an optical lightning mapping sensor is planned to observe lightning on a real-time, continual basis. The measurement will detect the radiance discharged by lightning and transferred up to the cloud top at a near-infrared band. One important and urgent attention of the pre-study is how the instrument observation geometry quantitatively impact the received signals. A Monte Carlo approach is applied for simulating the transfer of lightning and the lightning radiation signatures which will be obtained by FY-4 lightning mapping sensor. The study focuses on the quantitative relationships between the observed lightning radiance and several key observation geometry parameters, such as satellite observation angle, pixel size and the horizontal location of lightning in the pixel. This will provide extremely valuable informations for the future application of lightning data observed by FY-4 satellite.

    Corner reflectors on satellites are inevitably subjected to the influence of atmospheric turbulences in space explorations and tracking targets. Turbulence effects produce significant intensity fluctuations, seriously affecting the quality of the detected signal. In order to study the influences of atmospheric turbulent inner and outer scales on the scintillation index, researches about the corner reflector echo scintillation index from the transmitter to the reflector and from the reflector to the transmitter are carried on based on the ITU-R atmospheric structure constant model which is dependent on the altitude, while considering the influences of inner and outer scales. Numerical calculation results indicate that in the weak turbulence zone, inner scale turbulence scintillation indexes of the echo effects are greater than the outer scale; in the strong turbulence zone, with the outer scale increases, the echo scintillation index also increases, and it is larger than the inner scale.

    Atmospheric anisoplanatism is one of the key subjects for the wide field view high resolution imaging of telescope. The simulation of anisoplanatic imaging is the basis of the research on the restoration of the blurred image. The theoretical model of atmospheric anisoplanatic imaging based on the Kirchhoff diffraction theory is set up. The atmospheric anisoplanatic effect can be expressed by multilayer phase screens. Light wave phase change of every dot on the object after atmosphere can be expressed by a phase screen, and phase size is the superposition of phases after each phase screen. The experiments are executed to test the proposed method, and finish the simulations of anisopalnatic imagings of starry, nebula, and moon craters. The experimental results show that the simulated image reflects the effect of atmospheric turbulence, diffraction and spatially variety on point spread function (PSF) from different field views. There is no ringing and edge effect in this anisoplanatic image.

    The angular dependence of optical efficiency of six compound parabolic concentrator (CPCs) suitable for concentrating radiation on all-glass evacuated tubes is investigated by ray-tracing method, and the annual radiation concentrating on unit length of solar tubes by means of six CPCs is estimated based on the angular dependence of optical efficiency of CPCs and solar geometry. Results show that the optical efficiency of CPC designed by “hat-shaped” absorber with a V-groove at the bottom of reflectors is higher than that of other CPCs for the case of the incidence solar rays within the acceptance angle of full CPC, otherwise less than that of other CPCs. It is concluded that the CPC designed by “ice-cream shaped” absorber is the optimal design, and the one designed by the cover tube is the most inferior solution in terms of the annual radiation concentration on the solar tube.

    By the acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF), the wavelength of the optical signal can be tuned fast in the wide spectral area. In the past study, the performance of the diffraction efficiency, the spectral resolution and the image stabilization is limit. It restricts the development of the AOTF on the spectral imaging area. In this study, we introduce the self-design non-collinear AOTF as the spetroscopic element, and set up the spectral imaging system. Further more, we obtain the microscopic images and the corresponding spectra of the plam skin tissue.

This study indicates the applicability of the AOTF on the spectral imaging. It provides a new technology for the development of the biomedicine microscopic spectral imaging.

    The optical compressive spectral imaging method reconstructs the spectral data cube of the shooting scenery from acquired compressive image data, which has the features such as reducing acquisition data amount, realizing snapshot imaging for certain field of view, increasing signal-to-noise ratio and so on. Due to the mechanism restriction of compressive imaging, the reconstructed spectral data from the single compressive image suffer from fidelity attenuation, which leads to the decrease of the image quality and application ability. Based on the compressive sensing theory, the spatial coding optical compressive spectral imaging system model is developed and multi-frame shooting under variable spatial light modulation conditions is carried out so that high-fidelity cubic data is reconstructed from a certain number of compressive images with the support of optimization method. The AVIRIS imaging data is used to simulate the scenery so that the multi-frame spatial coding optical compressive spectral imaging simulation is carried out and the whole-spectral-region root-mean-square-error is adopted to evaluate the data fidelity quantitatively. The experimental results indicate that with the multi-frame shooting method the data fidelity improves, the imaging quality increases and the spectral curve deviation drops.

    A novel approach to improve the halftoning image quality by a mixture distortion criterion is the combination of a edge weighted least squares depending on the fusion multiscale information and the region weighted least squares depending on the improved K-means clustering method. The multiscale characterization of the original image using the discrete wavelet transform is obtained. The boundary information of the target image is fused by the wavelet coefficients of the correlation between wavelet transform layers, to increase the pixel resolution scale. The inter-scale fusion method to gain fusion coefficient of the fine-scale is applied, which takes into account the detail of the image and approximate information, where the fusion coefficient is referred to as the weighting operator, and to establish the boundary energy function. The improved K-means clustering method is used to segment an image several regions and the new energy function is constructed using the weighted least squares method, which the reciprocal of the variance of the segmented regions are referred to as the weighting operator to establish the region energy function. In the halftone process, each clustering uses the weighted least-squares method through energy minimization via direct binary search algorithm, to gain halftoning image. Simulation results on typical test images further confirm the performance of the new approach.

    Lucky imaging is a post processing technique which can reconstruct a high resolution image for adaptive optics. In classic lucky imaging algorithm, only a few images which meet the image quality criterion are selected, shifted and added to reconstruct a final image, with image resolution reaching diffraction limited resolution of the large ground-based optical telescopes. However, high resolution information in given direction of the unselected images is rejected as a result. As to the lucky imaging in frequency domain algorithm, the information is selected in Fourier domain for every frame. It selects Fourier complex values with highest amplitude values at each spatial frequency below the cut-off frequency. Therefore, it makes a more efficient use of high resolution information contained in the short exposure images. Simulation results show that lucky imaging in frequency domain can overcome the effect of the atmosphere turbulence and improve the ability of the telescope. The results on real world astronomical images show that the lucky imaging in frequency domain often yields final image of better quality than classic lucky imaging algorithm at an equivalent selection ratio without an adaptive optics system.

A complete underwater pipeline detecting and tracking system is proposed. In the process of pipeline recognition, to overcome the defect of line fitting using traditional Hough transform, an improved Hough transform is presented to dislodge the non-pipeline area in the view of feature clustering and to consider neighborhood of peak value process. Straight and curved pipelines are detected and tracked through the three-dimensional simulation environment for several times. Experiment results indicate that the presented system can effectively and autonomously detect and track pipelines with pipeline recognition and environment mapping.

    An exact inference approach of posterior probability is proposed for multiscale image segmentation to overcome limitation of local optimum as well as unbounded convergence rate of traditional wavelet-domain hidden Markov tree (HMT) segmentation methods. Hidden Markov forest (HMF) model is constructed by characterizing inter-scale statistical dependence between fine scale pixel and high scale wavelet coefficients. Bottom-up likelihood estimation and up-bottom posterior inference on each sub-tree of the HMF model are performed, in which consistency of unary and pairwise distribution is guaranteed. Binary segmentation at multiscales are achieved by threshold the posterior probability. Experimental results of typical dynamic background segmentation as well as comparison with segmentation by weighted aggregation (SWA) algorithm demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

    Multi-exposure image fusion aims to integrate complementary information of each exposure image to form a new image with the scene information more comprehensively, accurately and reliably. The main methods in image fusion are irradiance reconstruction method, pyramidal transform wavelet transform method, HIS feigned multicolor method and so on. These methods effectively enhance the detectable target brightness range, but among most of them, the large dynamic range of the scene information is mapped to 8 bit, which indeed increases the luminance information of the underexposed and overexposed scene areas, but at the expense of the contrast of the intermediate luminance. A multi-exposure fusion method is presented, using 4 exponential integral times in a fixed scene for image capture. The unsaturated zone is matched through multiplying the low dynamic range image sequence by a integration time factor images directly. All the images are fused with the contrast being the weighting factor, ultimately, a 11 bit image with rich details and distinct levels is captured.

    The reconstructed image noises of THz in-line digital hologram are higher, especially the background noises, which seriously affect the overall effect of the image. To realize image smoothing, this paper proposes the restoration methods on two-dimensional reconstructed images of THz Gabor in-line digital hologram by combining opening-closing-by-reconstruction in mathematical morphology with non-local means or median non-local means filter. Digital processing and comparative analysis for the real reconstructed image of the target with lower resolution are carried out. The images processing results show that the proposed composite algorithm can remove most of the noise, leading to image smoothing and signal-to-noise ratio improvement, and the effect is obviously better than seperately using any one single filter in composite algorithm.

    Otsu method and its improved methods are widely suitable for the images whose histograms belong to Gauss distribution. However, they perform poor when the histograms of images belong to a mixture of other distributions. An algorithm based on the minimum class mean absolute deviation (MCMAD) is proposed. The new algorithm transforms two-dimension histogram into one-dimension histogram to decrease the computation complexity by diagonal projection method. The new proposed algorithm calculates the class mean and the class probability of every threshold in one-dimension histogram. The new proposed algorithm gets the minimum class mean absolute deviation of different thresholds by traversing all the thresholds in the one-dimension histogram. Among these thresholds, the threshold corresponding to the minimum class mean absolute deviation is the best segmentation threshold. Experimental results show that the new proposed algorithm not only can segment well on remote sensing images with histograms belonging to normal distribution, but also improve the performance of the remote sensing images with histograms belonging to Laplace distribution comparing with traditional Otsu method and its improved methods. Furthermore, the time consuming of the new proposed algorithm is low.

Cross sectiions of specimens are all 24 mm×40 mm square. Using the indentation stress measurement method to measure the residual stress of sample, laser power density and powder flow density on the residual stress in laser additive manufacturing are studied. The results show that the residual stress in the laser additive manufacturing is significantly less than the yield strength. The residual stress is positively correlated with the laser specific energy and laser power density, and is negatively correlated with the powder flow density.

    Pulsed CO2 laser is used in the wet laser cleaning of rust from iron surface. By pre-spraying liquid film to the top surface, the liquid can penetrate into the rust layer due to the porous structure of the rust, so the thermal conductance and the mean specific heat of the rust layer can be improved. At the mean time, as the explosive evaporation of the liquid in the rust under laser irradiation has the effect of breaking down the rust layer, the cleaning efficiency can be efficiently increased. But it is disadvantageous that the electro-chemical corrosion of the iron will be intensified if the liquid film has some residue. Thus, the removal of the residual liquid film is a necessary operation after the first-step of cleaning. Acousto-optic Q-switched NdYAG laser is used to heat the iron surface. By adjusting the number of laser pulse, the surface temperature can be controlled. The residual liquid film is vaporized firstly, and then the oxidation process of the superficial iron layer can be accelerated. A dense film of iron oxide is formed above the iron surface. Uniform passivation is realized and the corrosion resistance of the iron is modified after laser cleaning. A device of laser wet cleaning adopting dual laser beam is designed, which can perform cleaning and passivating simultaneously.

    The effects of welding parameters such as spot diameter, gap width, laser power and welding speed on the joint formation of ultra-narrow gap laser beam welding with filler wire are studied by using IPG YLS-6000 fiber laser and defocused beam. Results show that when the spot diameter is wider than gap width and leading filler wire and filler wire melting in molten pool are used, the joint formation in heat conduction welding model is the best; smaller spot diameter leads to and larger spot diameter leads to pores, excessive fusion of sidewalls. Under the same welding conditions, the greater the gap width, the narrower range of welding process windows for welded joints without defects will be. As the gap width increases, the suitable laser power is increased, and the welding speed is reduced. Small heat input can produce lack of fusion on sidewall, and larger heat input can cause keyhole induced pores. Under the optimized parameters, 60 mm thick stainless steel plates are welded by less than 5 mm ultra-narrow-gap laser welding with filler wire, and a complete defects free butt joint which consists of 20 layers is obtained. The width of weld is uniform and only about 3.8 mm, and the angular distortion of the joint is about 0.6°.

It is shown that under certain conditions elliptical (or circular) edge dislocation, straight edge dislocation or optical vortices will appear in the light field. By changing the vortex off-axis distance or waist width, the phase singularities will vary. The position of black nucleus, symmetry and elliptical dark ring of the energy flux distributions are dependent on the vortex off-axis distance.

The propagation properties of quasi-Bessel beam generated by the ideal axicon and blunt-tip axicon are investigated. Strong peak oscillations occur due to interference between the quasi-Bessel beam and the refracted beam by the blunt-tip. Using the axicon for laser micromachining is theoretically calculated. Simple analytical formulas can be used to predict the required parameters, including laser pulse energy, generated fluence distribution, ablation width, beam aspect ratio and so on.

    Exploiting Tm-Ho codoped fiber as the saturable absorber, stable passive Q-switching and mode-locking of an Er-doped fiber ring laser is achieved. In the Q-switching operation mode, the repetition rate is tunable with pump power from several kHz to tens of kHz at 1567.8 nm, and the pulse duration is at the μs level. With polarization control, Q-switched mode-locking operation is observed at 1535.2 nm. Further increasing the pump power and tuning the polarization controller, mode-locking is achieved with repetition rate of tens of MHz and pulse duration of tens of ns. With even higher pump power, 2nd order rational harmonic mode locking is obtained. The experiments demonstrate that Tm-Ho codoped fiber is an excellent saturable absorber for all fiber passive Q-switching and mode-locking of Er-doped fiber lasers.

    The propagation rules of double orthogonal polarization and coinciding centre Gaussian beams which propagate in nonlocal nonlinear planar waveguides are studied with analytical method. The evolution equations of two beam various parameters and two critical powers are obtained, the values of which relate to the coupling coefficient and the degree of nonlocality. In the case of the unique refraction, the critical powers of two beams are the same when the initial beam widths are equal to each other. When the initial power equals the critical power, two orthogonal polarization Gaussian linear spatial solitons are derived, which are irrelevant with the degree of nonlocality of the medium. For the strongly nonlocal case, under the condition of unique refraction, the analytical evolution expressions of various parameters of beams are obtained. When the total power is equal to the critical power, and the two beam powers are not the same, two orthogonal polarization Gaussian types of breathers are obtained, the higher power beam width compressing oscillates periodically and the lower power beam width broadening oscillates periodically.

    A novel multi-wavelength erbium-doped fiber laser with narrow-line-width lasing output is proposed and demonstrated using arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) and optical circulator (OC). Wavelength competition and consistency are naturally prevented in this kind of laser by using AWG as comb filter and OC as completely reflecting mirror in the linear-cavity. As an example, a dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber laser is experimentally investigated. Using the laser scheme, the proposed laser can generate two wavelengths simultaneously. The fiber laser realizes the optical side-mode suppression ratio of over 50 dB and the average output power of -9.7 dBm and -9.6 dBm at 1554.872 nm and 1555.671 nm, respectively. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the spectrum of each laser is less than 0.010 nm. Moreover, the output power stability of the laser has also been measured and analyzed. Experiment results show that the laser can operate in stable narrow-line-width with dual-wavelength output at room temperature.

    As the atomic lines power of atomic spectrum light is weak and wavelength cannot trace to notional standard, this paper introduces a development technology of standard wavelength source at 266 nm. Using second harmonic generation and fourth harmonic genemtion technique, the laser beams at 532 nm and 266 nm are obtained which based on 1064 nm single solid-state ring laser. Using modulation transfer spectroscopy, the frequency of the 532 nm laser is stabilized at a10 hyperfine spectra of 127I2 R(56)32-0. Laser beam at 266 nm is obtained from frequency stabilization laser beam at 532 nm using external circular frequency doubling technology. The 532 nm laser is traced back to femtosecond laser based optical frequency comb apparatus in National Institute of Metrology, and this indirectly realizes the quantity traceability at 266 nm wavelength. The experiment results prove that the Allan variance of standard ultraviolet wavelength source at 266 nm is less than 1×10-10. The ultraviolet spectrograph corrected by wavelength standard has fine wavelength precision.

    Because the size of photonic device is close to the size of optical wavelength,photonic circuit shows significant diffractive characteristics, which can be used to design photonic devices with novel function. To realize the similar “skin effect” of electronic circuit, we utilize the similarity between “Schrdinger Equation” and the wave function in inhomogeneous medium, and design a type of multi-layer cylindrical optical waveguide with high gradient refractive index and pseudo-gravity potential index distribution. Simulation shows high frequency signal propagate in the surface layer, and signal blind area (“cavity”) exists in the inner part of the waveguide. The size of the cavity varies with the wavelength of the light. The boundary of the cavity locates near the inner-boundary of the layers. Longer wave is less affected by the discontinuity, and can penetrate further into the inner material. The domain of the cavity decreases with the wavelength. This result may have significance for the design of “perfect invisible cloak” and new type photonic circuit.

    The change is optical properties and the extention of the application in the field of photocatalysis and photoelectric conversion of the metal and nonmetal-co-doped TiO2 are heatedly studied in recent years. The properties of band structure, density of states, optical properties and defect formation energy of rutile TiO2 super-cell with metallic and nonmetallic impurity co-doped with N-Ru, N-Rh and N-Pd are calculated by plane wave pseudopotential method based on the density functional theory. The results show that rutile TiO2 co-doped with N, N-Ru, N-Rh and N-Pd improve the visible light absorption and utilization efficiency. The defect formation energies decrease in the order of N-Pd, N-Rh and N-Ru, which shows that N-Ru is the most easily doped into TiO2 lattice in co-doped condition. TiO2 co-doped with N-Rh greatly improves absorptivity and reflectivity and achieves the best effect in the range of visible light wavelength.

    Two light emitting diode (LED) structures such as the introducing of AlGaN confining layer and the embedded photonic crystal (PC) LED are proposed to improve the light extraction efficiency of PC LEDs. The distributions of guided modes propagated in LED are analyzed, and the modal extraction lengths are calculated using high-resolution angle-resolved measurements in order to research the interaction of each guided mode with PCs. The impact of structure parameters design on modal extraction length is considered. The result shows that the introduction of an AlGaN confining layer in LEDs is effective in extracting a fraction of the optical energy of low order modes, but this approach is limited by the growth of the lattice mismatched AlGaN layer on GaN. And embedded PC LEDs have superior extraction of the guided light due to spatially overlapped with all guide modes which have the higher interaction between all optical modes.

    POSS-NH3Cl is introduced to polylactic acid (PLLA) by blending and grafting separately to improve the properties of PLLA, especially the transparency. A series of star-shaped polylactic acid is synthesized using L-lactic acid (L-LA) and octa (γ-chloroammoniumpropyl) octasilsesquioxane (POSS-NH3Cl) in the presence of stannous (II) octanoate [Sn(Otc)2] catalyst, and the mechanism is studied. Meanwhile, a series of composite cross-linked films are prepared by casting. The structures of these dendritic polymers are characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), which conforms the presence of the grafting reaction at the same time. Ultraviolet (UV)-visible light transmittance analyzer is used to analyze the transparency of the composite films. It is found that polyethylene glycol (PEG) has little relation to the transparency of the film while the content of POSS-NH3Cl affected the transparency. The grafted products exhibit superior transparent property than blend ones due to better compatibility with the PLLA. The transparency of the film improves even 40% in some wavelength, which is explained theoretically.

Results show that the inclusion absorption mechanisms can preferably explain the sapphire damage under the nanosecond laser pulse irradiation, and simulation results are in agreement with the experimental results. In addition, with the 1-on-1 irradiation, sapphire surface damage area gets larger with the increase of laser fluence linearly, while with the s-on-1 irradiation, the damage area on the back surface exponentialy grows with laser shot number.

    Utilizing the scientific charge-coupled device (CCD) and Hartmann test system, the gain distribution uniformity of large aperture slab amplifiers is measured on the integration test bed and processing methods are put forward for these two methods. The effects of various measuring methods and post-processing methods on gain uniformity are compared in detail by numerical calculation and analysis. The results show that the measuring randomness can be avoided and spatial noise of gain distribution can be minimized when measuring the gain uniformity by the scientific CCD with multi-shot averaging smoothed method. The results also show that less lattice number reduces the gain roll-off at the edges of the aperture when measuring the gain uniformity by Hartmann, which indicates a lattice number of over 50×50 is proposed.

    In order to overcome the deficiencies of framing plane imaging velocity interferometer system for any reflector (VISAR),a simultaneous phase-shifting plane imaging VISAR with high temporal resolution is developed. With the double interferometers arrangement, fringes can be produced in VISAR with an ultrashort laser pulse. As a substitute for polarizing beamsplitters, Wollaston prisms are used to produce four spatial phase shift interferograms. Then, geometric correction of interferograms is done using space transformation. At last, a push-pull signal processing method is used to obtain the phase and velocities. Full-field velocity map is provided with a temporal resolution of 150 ps and a velocity sensitivity of 6 m/s. The technique is employed to measure a two-dimensional spatial velocity field of Al foils flyer driven by a pulse laser. These experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the new imaging VISAR.

    Low earth orbit space targets is more impressionable to the shadow of earth, which makes the ground optical observation system unable to realize the optical observation and posts the influences on the optical measurement data. As the active detection technology, laser active illumination is to use laser track and observation system on ground and transmit the laser beam to space targets within the shadow of earth. The receiving telescope and charge coupled devices (CCD) camera on ground receive and detect the laser echoes from targets and obtain the images if the requirements of CCD detecting threshold is meet. The laser signal with 532 nm wavelength is adopted as the light sources and the observations of laser active illumination to artificial satellites with the retro-reflectors within the shadow of earth are successfully implemented to validate the feasibility of measurement technology. According to the parameters of laser track and observation system on ground, the theoretical analysis of the signal noise ratio of CCD and the magnitude of illuminated satellites are also performed. Based on the image processing method of gray correlation, the measured magnitude of laser illumination to satellites is obtained and compared to the results of theoretical calculation, which verifies the rationality of theoretical and experimental methods.

    Using null lens such as computer-generated hologram (CGH) is almost the routine for testing asphere at present. The using of on-axis CGH has many advantages, but the central area of the asphere can not be tested due to the ghost. In this paper, a new program is proposed, where the influence of ghost is eliminated by using off-axis CGH and modified Twyman-Green interference setup. In this program, the off-axis CGH is placed on the imaging arm, compensating the testing wavefront secondly and separating the varied diffraction orders in the direction of vertical axis. With the tilt axis and filter, 0th order of the reference wavefront and -1st order of the testing wavefront are adopted to get interferograms which are used to carry out the aspherical testing. In our proposed program, the asphericity is compensated with the combination of standard spherical lenses and off-axis CGH. For comparison, the same asphere is tested by on-axis CGH with Zygo interferometer. The experimental results confirm that the ghost image is eliminated successfully, the results of the two tests keep well agreement, and this program can be used to test large aperture asphere on high accuracy.

    The objective of the study is to provide a novel method and system that is used to inspect the fatigue defects of the rail in a non-contact way. A laser-electro magnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) system is designed in Laser Institute of Shandong Academy of Sciences, which is used in the present work. Artificial surface cracks and holes with different sizes are prepared on the rail. The principle of mode conversion is applied to determine the defects above. Namely, Rayleigh wave generated by line laser source becomes shear wave when the Rayleigh wave passes the surface defect. To receive the defect signal in a noncontact way, an EMAT sensor is used in this work. Experimental results show that the amplitude of defect signal increases with the increase of defect depth. To avoid the influence of noise on the testing result, the ultrasonic signal of surface defect is processed by wavelet soft-threshold filter designed by Matlab. The signal to noise ratio increases by 12 dB at least. The results show that the laser-EMAT technique has good prospects in the engineering applications of rail testing.

Due to the fact that main operations perform at edge nodes, the energy efficiency of OBS is directly affected by parameters setting, but it has been rarely reported to date. In the article, based on low power idle (LPI), the transition of burst is comprehensively analyzed and the quantitative energy model is established. Further, the energy efficiencies of extra offset time (EOT) and fixed assembly size (FAS) are compared under the target loss probability. The numerical results show that, with LPI model, EOT is superior to FAS in energy consumption because a 48.86% saving is gained.

    Optical logics can be achieved by utilizing four-wave-mixing (FWM) effects in micro-nano waveguides. We analyze the contributions of signal noise onto the efficiency of FWM in such nonlinear waveguides. Since Gaussian noise exists extensively in most practical systems, we analyze the FWM process of the input signals, which are affected by amplitude noise, frequency noise, phase noise and additive noise in the metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguides. Results show that, with the average power of the phase noise increasing over 1.44, the normalization intensity of the idle light generated in the FWM process is less than -40 dB, compared to -18 dB without noise, indicating a significantly reduction of nonlinear efficiency. However, if the signals are affected by other kinds of noise, the intensity of the idle light is nearly the same as that without noise. Therefore, FWM process in such waveguides is sensitive to Gaussian phase noise, while it′s not sensitive to other kinds of noise.

    The inter-symbol-transition (IST) patterns of multi-level non-return-to-zero phase-shift-keying (NRZ-PSK) signals generated by two kinds of optical modulator implementations are analyzed to reveal the underlying relationship between IST patterns and optical filtering performance. In the tandem modulator implementations, some IST patterns are curved, and in the parallel implementations, all IST patterns are inherently straight lines. It′s proved that these IST patterns characteristics play a significant role in determining optical filtering performance. In the tandem implementations, optical filtering can lead to obvious IST pattern dependent signal distortion. As a comparison, the parallel implementations have less filtering-induced eye-opening penalty and consequently better tolerance against narrow filtering. Finally, the receiver sensitivity as a function of optical filter bandwidth for differential optical detection is studied together with the optimization of the demodulator parameter.

Because the smallest PAPR typically corresponds to the CD that results in the best performance, PAPR is used as feedback signal. We search PAPR minimum through direct search and two step search algorithms in frequency compensation. CD compensation value is the accumulated value in the link. The average errors of two methods to monitor CD are 312 ps/nm and 226 ps/nm. Therefore two search algorithm has lower complexity, and higher sensitivity.

In order to overcome the limitation of ACSPW, the ACSPW scheme is extended by artificially adding CD to the received signal using a finite impulse response filter in the estimation phase, moving the pulse to the range that can be measured, and finally subtracting the known added value after the estimation. This method will be essentially unaffected by amplified spontaneous emission noise, pulse shapes and polarization mode dispersion. Mean error of monitoring results is 127 ps/nm.

    A fiber refractive index sensor based on the combination of waist-enlarged tapers and singlemode-multimode-singlemode (SMS) fiber structure is demonstrated. A 18 mm multi-mode fiber (MMF) is spliced with waist-enlarged taper between two conventional single-de fibers (SMFs) to construct an all-fiber sensor. The effective refractive index of the cladding modes changes with the external refractive index. It shows that the sensitivity of the refractive index sensor is 152.237 nm/RIU (RIU is refractive index unit) in the refractive range index from 1.3725 to 1.4620. The temperature cross sensitivity of the refractive index sensor is 2.6×10-4 RIU/℃, so when the temperature changes little, the temperature impact on the refractive index measurement can be ignored. The presented refractive sensor is with simple manufacture and relatively low cost, so it has great potential for biological and chemical applications.

    In fiber optical parametric amplifier, the nonlinear index induced by four-wave mixing effect varies with the frequency owing to the interaction between the strong pump wave and signal wave so that the group velocity of optical wave slows down or accelerates. Based on the analysis of parameters in the process of index change induced by the four-wave mixing in fiber, the influence of saturation effect of pump wave on the delay time of signal wave is investigated. By solving the nonlinear equation based on Runge-Kutta method, the results of analytical method and numerical method are compared when low power and high power signal waves are injected into the fiber, and the region with large difference is obtained. This region is located in the band edge of the spectrum of fiber optical parametric amplifier. These results are conductive to know the slow and fast light phenomenon in fiber optical parametric amplifier.

    In order to improve the space resolution of hyper-spectral image by fusing the spatial information of multispectral images and the spectral information of hyperspectral images, a hyperspectral image super-resolution algorithm based on relevance vector machine (RVM) is proposed. A brief introduction of the principle of the Price method which fuses multispectral and hyperspectral images to get the super-resolution image is given, and the RVM linear regression is introduced. Combining with the advantages of RVM in regression analysis, a resolution enhancement by revealing the corrspondence of the spatial and spectral information is gotten. The experiment results show that the normalized root-mean-square (RMS) is lower than 0.001 and the spectral angel error is lower than 0.02, which gets a great improvement compared with the results of the Price method and the Elbakary method. The method proposed has a significant result in hyperspectral image reconstruction, which provides a much properer data source for classification, object detection and recognition.

    The geometric parameters acquisition of splice detector is the most important thing to validate and evaluate the success of splice, but there is no systematic approach to solve it. For the rotation between the two detectors, the translation of the vertical slit, the slit width and other geometric parameters, the method based on imaging can give very accurate results. On the other hand, the smart-scope can give us the actual mean width of detector splicing, and the results are similar to the above. It proves that the method based on imaging can complete various geometric parameters tests with a very high precision. It just meets the needs of easy and high precision of the aerospace application, and it can provide powerful technical support for the detector slit splicing.

    Hyperspectral imagery target detection has an important theoretical research value and application prospect, and it is a hot topic in the field of the remote sensing information processing. At present, most detection algorithms need to set an appropriate decision threshold, which is set by hand or computed by using the objects and background information. In practice, the little prior knowledge of the background often limits the application of many algorithms. To solve this problem, a new pure-pixel target detection algorithm for hyperspectral image is presented, which is based on the support vector data description (SVDD). Then the target detection problem is transformed to one-class classification problem. Firstly, SVDD classifier is trained by selected samples, and then the data are classified into inner-class (the target) and outer-class (the background). Next, the spatial characteristics of the target are used to reduce false alarm rate of the classified image. Finally, the ultimate detection results can be obtained. Experimental results of the hyperspectral data show that compared with the two classical spectral angle mapping and constrained energy minimization methods, the proposed method, which only requires a small number of target training samples, can reach the close results as the two algorithms when the optimal threshold values are selected. When the background samples increase, the method is superior to the mentioned two algorithms.

    Improving the code capacity is a key of optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) system, and the usual method is to search for new code structure. We propose a novel way to facture π/n equivalent phase shift (EPS) OCDMA en/decoders without studying the code structure. The method only changes the physical structure of fiber grating and can enhance the soft-capacity for 5 times. Based on the fiber grating fabrication plot we fabric π/5- and 2π/5-EPS en/decoders. The results of simulation and experiment show the π/n-EPS en/decoders can get better performance than the ordinarily one.

    Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) combined with principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) is used to study different kinds of capsicum frutescens L.. FTIR spectra of 50 samples are obtained from five species of capsicum frutescens L.. The results show that the infrared spectra of capsicum frutescens L. are similar, but tiny differences in wave-numbers and absorption intensities of peaks are observed in the range of 1800~800 cm-1. PCA and HCA are performed on the second derivative infrared spectra in this range. FTIR spectroscopy is found to be efficient in classification of capsicum frutescens L.. 50 samples are well divided into five groups and about 100% classification accuracy for HCA, about 98% accuracy for PCA are yielded. It is proved that FTIR combined with statistical analysis can be used to discriminate capsicum frutescens L..

    The conventional method to identify tree peony varieties is based on morphology, which is strongly subjective and lacks chemical information. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) technology combined with principal component analysis (PCA) is applied to identify different varieties of tree peony flowers in this paper. The infrared spectra of tree peony samples are similar on the whole, which are mainly composed of the vibration absorption bands of proteins, phenols, lipids, glycosides, polysaccharides, flavonoids, and so on. First derivative sepctra in the range of 1800~700 cm-1 are selected to perform principal component analysis and correlation analysis using Matlab 2010 program. Correct classification amounting for 96% is observed. The results of principal component analysis and correlation analysis are identical with each other. It is demonstrated that FTIR-principal component analysis can be used as a possible means for the identification of different tree peony varieties.

    Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy combined with linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and back propagation neural network (BPNN) based on wavelet transform (WT) is applied to study citrus osbeck anthracnose and healthy peel. Continuous wavelet transform (CWT) is implemented to the FTIR spectra of anthracnose and healthy peel. By comparison, the decomposition level 10 is obviously different and proposed to extract feature vectors, then three feature regions of level 10 are used to train LDA and BPNN models. The performance of LDA algorithm is better than BPNN. On the other hand, in order to extrude the differences between anthracnose and healthy peel, discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is used to compose all spectra in 1750~950 cm-1 range. Wavelet transform approximation coefficients (DWTAC) and discrete wavelet transform detail coefficients (DWTDC) of level 5 are used to train LDA and BPNN models. Results show that accuracy of both LDA and BPNN based on DWTDC (95%) is better than DWTAC. LDA and BPNN algorithms based on wavelet transform can be successfully used for identifying citrus osbeck anthracnose and healthy peel with FTIR spectroscopy. It also provides technology support to detect citrus anthracnose in early stage quickly and effectively.

    Traditional spectrometers commonly suffer disadvantages of bulky size, low resolution, narrow spectral range, vibration sensibility and high price. In order to overcome the limitations of traditional devices, a novel micro-spectrometer based on optical scattering theory is proposed and demonstrated by using finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations. The design contains a series of bubbles with different sizes, which are used to scatter the incident beams. As lights with different wavelengths have different scattering intensity anglar distributions, the pixels after the bubbles can obtain different data which can be substituted into a linear system. The reconstructed spectrum can be obtained by solving the linear system with the Tikhonov regularization method. Simulation results show that the reconstructed spectrum and the incident spectrum are basically coincident. The spectrometer can at least realize a very wide measurement range of 300~1100 nm. Furthermore, the spectrometer can be anticipated to reconstruct the input spectrum with minimum resolutions at picometer order.
