Using the theory of information entropy squeezing, the entropy squeezing of a two-level atom in an atomcavity- optomechanical system is investigated. The influences of the coherent angles of the atom, the coupling coefficient between the cavity field and the mechanical mode, and the relative phase of the two atom level on the entropy squeezing of the atom are discussed. It is shown that the squeezing amplitude, squeezing frequency and squeezing direction of the atomic information entropy squeezing can be controlled by choosing the suitable coherent angle of the atom, coupling coefficient between the cavity field and the mechanical mode and the relative phase of the two atom level, respectively; and the atomic optimal entropy squeezing states in the system can be prepared by controlling the coherence angle of the atom. The proposal may provide a theoretical way to control entropy squeezing of the atom in the atom-cavity-optomechanical system.

    For point-like target, a wavefront sensorless adaptive optics correction method using deformable mirror (DM) eigen- modes is proposed and studied by simulation and experiment. A set of DM eigen- modes whose derivatives are orthogonal with each other is derived from the influence function matrix of DM to replace traditional Lukosz modes. The metric function is set as the mean square radius of far-field spot. The required correction amount of each mode is directly solved from the relationship between coefficients of DM eigen-modes and the metric function value. In the simulation,the correction accuracy using the two modes mentioned above is compared and the effect of modal bias coefficient variation on correction accuracy is analyzed. Closed-loop correction results for different aberration level are also given. The experimental system is set up based on a 37- channel DM. Experimental results show that low- order aberrations can be effectively corrected by the algorithm and the correction accuracy of DM eigen-modes is better than Lukosz modes.

    Beam wander is an important effect when a beam propagates in atmospheric turbulence. Based on the marine atmospheric refractive index fluctuation power spectrum, a new theoretical expression is developed for a horizontal propagation path in maritime atmospheric environment. In order to validate the model, a set of measurements of beam wander for a collimated Gaussian beam is carried out using CCD technique during multiple laser transmissions under the sea surface environment in Yantai region, and the experiments are conducted at different times and various ranges. By comparing the theoretical value with measured value under the weak fluctuation condition, the results show that the relative errors between them are below16%, and the estimation given by the new theoretical expression generally provides a good fit with the data. According to the conclusion of this paper, the beam wander in the maritime atmospheric turbulence can be more accurately predicted.

    A preliminary research of noninvasive monitoring of blood glucose concentration is performed using the photoacoustic detection technique, and a noninvasive photoacoustic detection system is established. A tunable pulsed laser is used as the excitation source and a confocal ultrasonic transducer is used to capture the photoacoustic signal of glucose concentrations. The pre-amplifier, data transmission based on GPIB-USB bus and virtual instruments developing software LabVIEW are used in this system. The time-resolved photoacoustic signals for the glucose solutions with concentration from 0 mg/dL to 300 mg/dL are acquired based on the established photoacoustic detection system. The glucose solutions with different concentrations are scanned by the tunable pulsed laser with output wavelength from 1300 nm to 2300 nm and with interval of 10 nm, and the photoacoustic peak-to-peak values are obtained. In order to obtain the characteristic wavelengths of the glucose solution, the difference spectrum algorithm and the first order differential derivative are used. The mathematical correction model between glucose concentrations and photoacoustic peak-to-peak values is established by means of linear least square fitting algorithm for the optimized characteristic wavelengths, and the glucose concentrations are inverted. Two better characteristic wavelengths are chosen based on the minimum root mean square error.

    Imaging depth of acoustic resolution photoacoustic microscopy is capable of reaching the centimeter level. There are several drawbacks regarding to the mainstream illumination designs of current acoustic resolution photoacoustic microscopy systems, e.g. switch between bright field illumination and dark field illumination is not available, and the utilization efficiency of laser energy is very low. Therefore, the application of the system is limited. A novel optical illumination design has been proposed to overcome these limitations. A convex lens is applied to focus the diverging ring-shape light before it is reflected by the optical condenser, as a result, the ultimate laser spot on the sample surface can be smaller. The Monte Carlo simulation results show that laser fluence within the volume of effective ultrasound detection has been improved by as much as 6 times, and therefore the intensity of photoacoustic signals can be linearly increased as well. On the other hand, the tuning range of optical focus depth of the system has also been expanded, and after specific tuning, optimal photoacoustic signals can be obtained within different kinds of samples.

    An automatic method of making color coded synthesized Fourier transform hologram is proposed. The images of the three-dimensional model are processed by the principle of synthesized holography and the pseudo color coding method. The processed images are displayed by a spatial light modulator (SLM). The light, through the SLM and the Fourier transform optical path and the lens with a large numerical aperture, forms a point pixel on the spectrum plane. By a computer and the program control systems, a large-format color-coded large-viewing angle rainbow hologram is produced pixel by pixel automatically.

    Because of the low imaging resolution of holographic stereogram, a method using wavefront plane is proposed to improve imaging quality. The resolution limit of holographic stereogram is mainly affected by spatial sampling, angular sampling and diffraction. The influences due to these factors are analyzed with mathematical equations. Supposing that the distance between hologram and human eyes is about 600 mm, the relationship between imaging resolution limit and depth of three-dimensional scene or Hogel size is provided according to acuity of human eyes. The depth limit of three-dimensional scene and optimal Hogel size are 12.80 mm and 90 μm, respectively, if the wavelength is 632.8 nm. A wavefront plane which is decided by depth limit is set. The experiments are performed with two three-dimensional scenes to evaluate the proposed method. With numerical simulation method, the tank model which has complicate structures is reproduced. The elaborate features of tank model at every depth are accurately obtained. A teapot model is optically reconstructed with holographic three-dimensional display system based on spatial light modulator. The three-dimensional cues such as depth and gloss are well provided in the reconstructed images.

    In order to improve the wear resistance and high-temperature oxidation resistance of materials surface, MoFeCrTiWSixAly (x=0 or 1 and y=0 or 1) high-entropy alloy coatings, named MoFeCrTiWSixAly high-entropy alloy (HEA) coatings, are fabricated on Q235 steel by laser cladding. The effect of silicon and aluminum on the microstructure, phases, wear resistance and high- temperature oxidation resistance are researched by X- ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and wear tester. The results show that the main phase of MoFeCrTiWSixAly HEA coatings is BCC structure. With the addition of silicon and aluminum, the lattice constants of BCC structure are all reduced. When x=0 and y=1, the coating is composed of single BCC structure, its microstructure is fine dendrites, but its wear resistance is lower. When x=1 and y=0 or 1, there is few intermetallic compound in the coatings and its wear resistance increases. MoFeCrTiWSixAly HEA coatings exhibit higher oxidation resistance at 800 ℃. Adding silicon and aluminum into coatings can further improve the high-temperature oxidation of coatings.

    The 5CrNi4Mo die steel is successfully prepared by selective laser melting (SLM) additive manufacturing technology. The mechanism of the phase transformation is investigated and the influence of the applied laser linear energy density h (the ratio of laser power to scan velocity) on densification, microstructure, and mechanical properties of SLM-processed parts is studied. It shows that a high h results in the formation of residual pores and lowers the densification level, caused by severe balling phenomenon. A low h causes the limited wetting ability and low densification level. When h is optimized at 258.3 J/m, the SLM-processed parts have an improved densification level of 98.12% without apparent process defects. The laser-induced large solidification rate leads to the martensitic transformation. Alloying elements such as Mn, Ni, and Cr in the original powder can stabilize the undercooling austenite and lower the critical cooling rate of martensite transformation, ensuring the successful process of martensite transformation. The microstructures of martensite are further refined with decreasing h. When h is 193.8 J/m , high microhardness of 689.5 HV0.2, low friction coefficient of 0.44 and wear rate of 2.3×10-5 mm3/(N?m) are obtained for the SLM-processed parts.

    In order to solve the problem of low production efficiency in making heat sink use the commercial selected laser melting (SLM) equipment while keeping good thermal properties and mechanical properties , SLM technology is used to build Ni samples with different (20/40/60 μm ) powder layer thicknesses. The relative density, microstructure, thermal conductivity, thermal expansion coefficient and tensile properties of the samples are presented. Beyond the layer thickness threshold of the laser melting, the melting track is spheroidizing line. Within the layer thickness range can be melted, the samples can be nearly full densification. With increasing layer thickness from 20 μm to 40 μm,the primary dendrite spacing increases from about 347 nm to 635 nm. Thermal conductivity decreasing from 99.28 W/K ·m at 20 μm to 92.48 W/K ·m at 40 μm. Increasing from 25 ℃ to 100℃ ,the thermal expansion coefficient from 11.02×10-6 m/(m·℃) to 12.9×10-6 m/(m·℃) at 40 μm layer thickness, lower than 11.42× 10-6 m/(m·℃) to 13.4×10-6 m/(m·℃) at 20 μm. Tensile strengths of SLMed Ni samples are much higher than those of wrought Ni regardless of layer thickness and building direction. The production efficiency of using SLM technology form heat sink at 40 μm increases 34.6% compared with 20 μm.

    Nanosecond laser damage of several aluminum and stainless steel are investigated, which materials are commonly used in the target chamber of laser drive inertial confinement fusion (LICF) device. The experimental data on mass removal and ablation depth during 1064 nm, 8 ns fundamental frequency laser ablation are measured. The results show that the aluminum is ablated obviously when the laser fluence is greater than 1.0 J/cm2. The ablation rate of aluminum increased slowly, which has an average value of 2.31±0.89 μg/cm2/shot under laser fluence of 1.2~ 5.2 J/cm2. Furthermore, the ablation depth of aluminum increases with the increase of laser fluence, while that of stainless steel increases at first and then decreases. Aluminum alloy′s ablation depth is significantly higher than that of stainless steel. The ablation mechanism is discussed. The 1064 nm laser absorption of stainless steel is much higher than that of aluminum, which effects the laser energy deposition processes. This study is very helpful to LICF target chamber materials′ selection and laser drilling or cutting of the metals.

    The T-joints of Ti-6Al-4V alloy are fabricated by double-sided synchronized laser beam welding with the homologous filler wire. The influence of the welding conditions on weld defects such as lack of fusion and porosity are investigated. Results show that the lack of fusion defects are determined by the laser power, welding speed, laser incident angle and position. With larger enough welding heat input (higher laser power, and slower welding speed), the lower laser incident angle and higher laser incident position are required to avoid the lack of fusion defects. The quantity of plasma/metal vapor above the molten pool for weld seam with the lack of fusion defects is larger than that of the weld seam without the defects under a certain laser power. The porosity defects in the welded T-joints are mainly the type of keyhole porosity defects under different welding conditions, and the higher welding speed is helpful to decrease the porosity defects under a certain laser power.

    In order to manufacture tungsten-copper complicate parts with high precision and densification, two different characterizations of tungsten powder balled with copper powder are manufactured by selective laser melting (SLM). The dimensional accuracy, surface morphology and microstructure of specimens are studied. The composite powder containing irregular tungsten powder with 50=5 μm causes non-uniform rolling powder and serious sparks occur in sintering process. With the increasing of mass content of W from 60% to 75%, the height shrinkage increases from 70 μm to 220 μm, the length and width increase from 50 μm to 150 μm, from 70 μm to 150 μm, respectively. The surface morphology evolves from adhered debris to balling phenomenon, pores and W particle agglomerate exist in the microstructures. The composite powder containing regular tungsten powder with 50=20 μm shows uniform rolling powder process and no sparks occur in sintering. With the increasing of mass content of W from 60% to 75%, the height shrinkage increases from 70 μm to 220 μm, the length and width increase from 20 μm to 50 μm, the surface morphology evolves from sound to slightly melt fracture and the particle rearrangement is obvious. The regular tungsten powder with 50=20 μm is more applicable to manufacturing WCu components by selective laser melting than the irregular tungsten powder with 50=5 μm.

    In order to explore the thermal relaxation behavior of residual stress induced by laser peening on the surface of Nickel- based alloy, a single laser peening treatment is conducted on the surface of IN718 samples, followed by a series of thermal insulation tests conducted on these treated samples. Then the changes of the residual stress, full width at half maximum(FWHM) and grain evolution feature at various test temperatures and exposure time are analyzed. The results show that laser peening can induce compressive residual stress at treated region, enhance the magnitude of FWHM and obviously refine the grains in the near-surface of the material. During the thermal insulation tests, the relaxation magnitude of residual stress is positively correlated with the test temperature and the exposure time. The relaxation speed of residual stress appear to be relatively high during the initial period of exposure, and then slow down with the increases of exposure time. After being exposing by 300 min at 800 ℃, the residual stress relax at a maximum rate of 82.14%. When the test temperature is constant, there is an increase in FWHM value as the exposure time increase. At the test temperature of 600 ℃, the value change of FWHM is found to be slight. After being exposing by 300 min at 600 ℃ , the grain size is still small, which means that the grain refinement effect is still obvious. However, at the test temperature of 800 ℃, the grain grow rapidly so that after being exposing by 300 min, the grain refinement effect almostly disappear.

    Linearly frequency-swept laser source is widely used in high spatial resolution, precision and dynamic range light measuring and optic fiber sensor. However, the frequency sweep nonlinearity and the phase noise of the laser source limit the system spatial resolution, precision and dynamic range. The mechanism of the nonlinearity and phase noise in frequency-swept distributed feedback (DFB) semiconductor laser is analyzed, and propose the combination of pre-distortion and optical phase-locked loop to overcome the nonlinearity of the frequency sweep and suppress the phase noise of the laser source. Chirp of 50 GHz is achieved where the root mean square frequency error is less than 263 kHz. And the performance of the frequency- swept laser source linearity and coherence enhancement is demonstrated.

    As the pumping source of lasers, 980 nm high-power laser diodes are of great importance. However, these laser diodes have some shortcomings, such as broad spectral width and low beam quality which lower the pumping efficiency and affect the stability of laser diodes. In order to improve the pumping efficiency of high-power semiconductor laser, the linewidth should be narrowed and the beam quality should be increased. The 980 nm highpower distributed-feedback laser (DFB) is studied by fabricating a first order grating into the laser to realize the narrow linewidth, wavelength stability output and optimizing the condition of the ridge waveguide to get the fundamental mode output. The fabricated laser diode with 1000 μm cavity length has a threshold current of 6 mA, slope efficiency of 0.71 W/A, maximum stable output of 130 mW. The thermal drift coefficient of wavelength on this DFB laser is 0.064 nm/K. When measuring the far-field divergence angle, fast axis divergence angle is 34° and slow axis divergence angle is 6.3°.

Based on the principle of coherent polarization beam combining, and used the phase modulator whose operating voltage is optimized by parallel gradient descent algorithm to keep the difference of phase of the two splitter beams to mπ. The output beam is linearly polarized laser with high polarization extinction ratio. In theory, the model of adaptive polarization conversion is built, and the factors affecting the efficiency and polarization extinction ratio are analyzed. In experiment, experiment system is built based on the optical path of free- space structure, and the adaptive conversion of non-polarization maintaining laser to a linearly one with the polarization extinction ratio of 93.5% and the converting efficiency of 88% is realized.

    The shortwave-pass cutoff filter (SWPF) can be used into the community antenna television (CATV) to restrain and distinguish diverse signals. It is the important component in the CATV transmission systems. The film is studied in order to reduce the transmission noise and improve the quality of signals. On account of the demands for parameters of the cutoff filter during the transmission systems, the suitable material of the thin film is determined. The testing results are gained from the equivalent model of the film. The light-operated tooling values of the coating materials and the thickness of the specifically higher sensitive film are adjusted. Conclusively, the mismatching of the film is removed during the coating process. The SWPF with less layers is fabricated.

The properties are then utilized for three-dimensional (3-D) shape absolute measurement, bringing a feature that phase unwrapping is released. A sequence of speckle images is captured by a CCD camera at different longitudinal positions.

The algorithm uses the crossover and mutation operators of GA to optimize the QPSO algorithm, improves its global search ability and overcomes the disadvantage that QPSO algorithm easily falls into local extremum. It is used to extract the character of the Pseudo-Voigt-shaped Brillouin scattering spectrum. The parameters estimation and simulation analysis of Brillouin scattering spectrum are analyzed under different weight ratios, line widths and signal-to-noise ratios. The experimental data of Brillouin scattering spectrum are collected in different temperatures and processed by GA-QPSO algorithm.The experimental results show that the GA-QPSO algorithm can improve the frequency shift extraction accuracy of Brillouin scattering spectrum. The maximum error of frequency shift fitting is 2.18 MHz under 25 ℃ and the average fitting error decreases with the increase of temperature, gradually.The frequency shift fitting maximum error is 0.065 MHz under 80 ℃. Therefore, the new algorithm can be used for measuring the temperature and strain in Brillouin scattering sensing system.

    The system of peak time delay tracking is designed, which bases on peak count rate scanning method for single photon detector. By scanning the time range near the previous peak position, a group of data can be compared to find the biggest value for determining the new peak position. It implements the peak of real-time tracking experiment during 125 km optical fiber in the environment of rapidly changing temperature. In order to solve the precision problem which is limited by the long step, the system introduces the polynomial fitting method to increase the accuracy. The accuracy of the light pulse transmission time obtained by peak time delay tracking system is superior to that obtained by avalanche photodiode directly measuring method, which is proved by the comparison experiment of single passing and double passing real-time measurements.

    A wavelength demodulated method of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is proposed to measuring pulse signal, which can be applied to smart clothing. Based on the photonic crystal fiber (PCF), a kind of Mach- Zehnder interferometer (In-line MZI) is fabricated on the basis of mode interference. The interferometer works as an edge filter in the wavelength demodulation system of FBG. The temperature sensitivity of the interferometer is lower than 3.5 pm/℃ (range from 25 ℃ to 60 ℃ ). The experiment results indicate that the system can achieve linear demodulation within the range of 2 nm, with a wavelength sensitivity of 0.055 nm-1 and a wavelength resolution of 2.2 pm. The demodulation results of FBG pulse signal measured from the proposed system are consistent with the results measured from SM130 demodulation instrument.crystal fiber

    Liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LCSLM) can be applied to beam steering. Considering that the one-dimensional scalar diffraction analytic method can only solve the diffraction efficiency, two-dimensional scalar diffraction numerical method is introduced and the sampling demand and realization algorithms are strictly analyzed. After phase stages and nonlinearity of LCSLM are modeled, the spatial distribution of circular beam through LCSLM and focus lens is calculated, diffraction efficiency and steering accuracy are simulated with variety of parameters. The relations between the stages and accuracy efficiency with different steering angles are concluded, which can provide choosing basis for liquid devices. Using BNS 256×256 liquid device, the beam steering experiment in which the accuracy and efficiency of different steering angles are researched is established and simulations according to experimental parameters are also done. The experimental and simulation results show good agreement, which demonstrates that two-dimensional scalar diffraction can be used for engineering performance evaluation of LCSLM device.

    Splitting angle is one of the significant performance parameters of diffractive laser beam splitter. Current study of wide-angle diffractive beam splitter mainly focuses on Dammann grating. Dammann grating relies on its periodic transition points to modulate the incident optical wave, however the inhomogeneity of outgoing beams is extremely sensitive to the precision of transition points, and the existing processing technology cannot meet the requirement of design accuracy. So, using a sub-wavelength multi-level structure to achieve wide-angle beam splitting is put forward and an actual design example of sub-wavelength 16 levels grating is given, whose incident wavelength is 1.55 μm, beam splitting number is 16 and diffraction angle is 29°. Getting an initial structure by scalar diffraction theory and then applying rigorous coupled- wave analysis and genetic algorithm to do a vector optimization, finally the diffraction efficiency rises to 89%, inhomogeneity drops to 4.53%. The results indicates that sub-wavelength multi-level structure can achieve wide-angle beam splitting with high diffraction efficiency and homogeneity.

    Aircraft conformal windows have asymmetrical shape and usually tilt relative to the imaging system behind. Thus, rotationally symmetrical fixed corrector having the simplest structure can not be applied to aberration correction for aircraft conformal windows. To simplify the structure of aircraft conformal correction system to the greatest extent, the two-stage static correction of aircraft conformal window aberration is presented. This solution makes fixed corrector applied to the aberration correction for aircraft conformal windows. The first stage static correction is to correct the asymmetrical aberration introduced by the conformal window at 0° field of regard along the axis based on some static correction method. This stage provides condition for using fixed corrector. It is proved theoretically that the first stage static correction can be achieved by designing the inner surface of the conformal window. The second static correction is to correct the dynamic aberration varying with the look angle introduced by the conformal window using fixed corrector. The two-stage static correction principle of aircraft conformal window aberration is clarified. Based on this principle, a design example is presented.

    Based on the internal structure of the circular scanning airborne laser bathymetry system coastal zone mapping and imaging lidar (CZMIL), the vector equations of laser in the prism, atmosphere and water are deduced and rectified to remove the mounting error of the prism, scanner and laser. With the vector equations and the attitude and location data provided by global position system/inertial navigation system, the laser point positioning model is deduced in the mapping coordinates. The intersection of laser line and sea surface is simulated depending on the mathematical principles of line and plane intersection. Combined with the direction vector of laser line in the water got by the refraction principle and the sea floor plane mathematical equation, the location of the laser points are simulated. Finally the influences of the plane attitude and height on the point clouds distribution are discussed deeply when the boresight misalignments are existed, which are meaningful to the calibration of system error and the correction of point clouds location for the circular scanning airborne laser bathymetry system.

    By synthesizing Au@SiO2 nanoparticles with shell thickness of 2~3 nm and core size of 15, 25, 50 nm instead of Au nanoparticles, the relationship between electromagnetic coupling intensity and particle size and gap is studied. The results show that the Au@SiO2 nanoparticles with core size 50 nm have much more enhancement. In order to further increase the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity, the Au@SiO2 nanoparticles are layered on the smooth gold surface, and then stronger SERS signal is obtained than that from Au@SiO2 nanoparticles on the silicon surface. The dimensional finite different time domain method is used to simulate the SERS activity under different size, gap and substrate conditions. The results show that the bigger of the particles are and the narrower the gaps are, the higher the electromagnetic coupling intensity of the Au nanoparticles on the smooth gold surface is. It agrees well with our experiment data. In addition, the hot spot from the gap between nanoparticles is transferred to the gap between nanoparticle and substrate. This provides a convenient way to prepare the high sensitivity and stability Raman substrate.
