By selecting laser power, laser pulse frequency and scanning speed as optimization variables, we establish a multi-objective optimization model of laser closure process parameters in vitro skin tissue. Based on MATLAB software, we use second generation non-dominant sequencing genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) to find the Pareto optimal solution set, obtain the optimal process parameters, and then analyze the response sensitivity of optimization objectives to the variation of process parameters. Under the optimized process parameters, the tensile strength of the incision is tested and the microstructure is analyzed. The results show that the incision tensile strength has high sensitivity to the laser process parameters, and the laser power has significant effect on the incision tensile strength and the tissue peak temperature. The proposed optimized process can achieve the in vitro skin tissue closure in full-thickness. In the case of tissue peak temperature decreasing, the tensile strength of in vitro skin tissue incision is 5.6% higher than that of single-objective optimization.

    Based on the principle of mode field matching, we analyze the influence of tilt aberration on coupling efficiency, and then the laser nutation tracking method is simulated and analyzed according to theoretical analysis. The simulation results are verified by experiments based on fast steering mirror and PIN (Positive-Intrinsic-Negative) photodiode. The results show that the nutation radius is inversely proportional to the convergence rate, and the steady-state oscillation amplitude increases with the increasing radius, while the convergence rate decreases with the increase of the number of sampling points. In addition, the proposed algorithm can significantly suppress the dynamic disturbance in a certain range.

    The obtainment method of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) reflection spectra is analyzed, and according to the characteristics of reflection spectra, a theoretical method is proposed for improving the optimization objective functions in the demodulation algorithm of FBG strain distributions using correlation coefficients. The performances of improved and traditional algorithms are compared by simulation combined with the differential evolution algorithm. The simulation results show that the traditional algorithm is only suitable for the situation where the true reflectivity of FBG is known, in contrast the improved algorithm can be applied to the situation where the true reflectivity of FBG is unknown. The proposed method can be used to improve the practicality of demodulation algorithms of FBG strain distribution.

    The influence of phase-only encoding method on the generation of circular Airy beams is investigated and the commonly used coding method is discussed in detail, which is compared with the other introduced encoding method. The results show that both methods can be used to produce high quality circular Airy beams. The beam generated by the commonly used method has a good quality, little affected by beam parameters, and has a wide application. Although, the quality of the beam generated by the other method is relatively poor, which is also dependent on beam parameters, the diffraction efficiency is high, 2.4 times that by the original method, which indicating that there exist many advantages on the applications of laser processing, nonlinear excitation, and so on. The circular Airy beams are generated experimentally by both methods. The experimental results show that the quality of the beam generated by the commonly used method is affected seriously by the background noise due to its low diffraction efficiency, while the beam generated by the other coding method is well consistent with the theoretical result and its feasibility is experimentally confirmed.

    On the basis of numerical simulation and experiments, the formation mechanism of solidification microstructures on the alumina ceramic surface by selective laser melting (SLM) is clarified. The research results show that as for the SLM of alumina ceramic, the forming condition of Bénard-Marangoni surface instability is satisfied. As laser energy decreases, the convection is close to its steady state. The preheating of substrate can change the Bénard-Marangoni convection state. Low laser power,fast scanning speed and low preheating temperature are all beneficial to the formation of a steady laminar flow on the liquid surface.

    Au films are deposited on fused silica substrates using the magnetron sputtering technique. The phase structure and surface morphology of the Au film after femtosecond pulse laser irradiation near laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) are investigated. The results show that the Au film prepared by magnetron sputtering is (111) oriented growth film. Laser irradiation energy near LIDT causes Au film to form large grains in the irradiated area and become polycrystalline structure from (111) single orientation. The increase of grain size leads to the increase of surface roughness. The experimental results provide a certain basis for exploring the damage process and later application of Au film under femtosecond laser.

The luminescence peak at room temperature is found to be around 1.55 μm by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and the blue shift of the spectrum is observed due to the existence of compression strain in the InxGa1-xAs film. The Raman spectra show that the peak of the GaAs-like transverse (TO) optic phonon mode is obviously broadened, which proves that the strain exists in the ternary alloy InxGa1-xAs film.

The pressure distribution in the calculation domain and the theoretical friction coefficient of the textured surface are obtained, which are used as the criteria for judging the tribological properties of the textured surface. To explore the coating design parameters for improved wear resistance, an elliptical texture with different arrays and a circular texture with different coverage ratios are processed using a femtosecond laser on the surface of a zirconia-reinforced hydroxyapatite bioceramic coating. The friction and wear tests are conducted on a reciprocating test platform.

    Based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect caused by a modified Otto structure of cylindrical lens, a method for measuring the thickness of metallic thin films is proposed. For this proposed method, the background intensity can be fitted only with the single SPR absorption image obtained under the p-polarized light incidence, no need using the s-polarized light. Hence, the normalized reflectivity curve in the vertical direction is obtained. The reflectivity curve is fitted by establishing a model of the optical thin film and the thickness parameters of the metallic thin film are derived. In the experiment, a sample of Au film with a thickness in the nanometer range is measured. The measurement results show that the difference between the measured average thickness of Au film and the result obtained by commercial spectroscopic ellipsometer is only 0.1 nm, which verifies the effectiveness of this method.

    A scheme for realizing high-order nonlinear diffraction harmonics in a nonlinear photonic crystal is described. Based on the multiple conical fourth-order harmonics observed, the feasibility of realizing the fifth-order and sixth-order harmonics via nonlinear diffraction is theoretically analyzed. The simultaneous generation of red, green, and blue conical harmonics is observed under only one input laser beam, which is beneficial to the realization of three primary colors, continuous harmonics and even ring white light sources. The blue conical output harmonics may be attributed to the cascaded nonlinear diffraction process of fifth-order harmonic involving the reciprocal vectors. Under the same fundamental wavelength, the conical angle of the fifth-order nonlinear cerenkov harmonic is always larger than those of the other lower-order harmonics. Moreover, there always exists a minimum conical angle for the fifth-order nonlinear cerenkov harmonics under different input wavelengths. When the input fundamental wavelength is 3319.5 nm, the generation process for the fifth-order harmonic e light is corresponding to nonlinear Bragg diffraction, which is helpful for the effective generation of a sixth-order nonlinear diffraction harmonic.

    The Monte Carlo simulation method based on phase function fitting with random sampling is used to simulate the polarization characteristics of polarized light after multiple scattering by ellipsoidal particles, and its correctness is also verified by experiments. The ellipsoidal yeast particles with a long and short axis ratio of 1.5 are taken as study target, and the polarization transmission characteristics of laser are studied when propagating in soot. The polarization changes of 532 nm laser with 0° linear polarization, 45° linear polarization and left circular polarization are investigated during the ellipsoidal particle diffusion process. The results show that the higher the ellipsoidal particle concentration is, the greater the randomness of the polarization degree change is. Moreover, the polarization-maintaining property of a circularly polarized light is better than that of a linearly polarized light. At the same concentration, the effects of linearly polarized light with different polarization angles on polarization state are not much different.

The pre-trained VGG-Net-16 model is used to extract multi-layer image features with strong representation ability, and then deep features of each layer are used to train the corresponding conditional random field model. The output results of multiple conditional random field models are finally merged to realize the final semantic segmentation of the images. The results show that compared with the methods based on classical features, the proposed method achieves the highest overall accuracy, indicating that the fusion features used by the proposed method have stronger representation ability than traditional features.

    A novel photonic crystal fiber (PCF) structure is designed. A sensor based on the newly designed PCF and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is proposed, which is applied to temperature and magnetic field detection. The theoretical model is analyzed by the full-vector finite element method. The results demonstrate that the temperature sensitivity is -493.6 pm/℃ with temperature from 20 ℃ to 50 ℃, and the magnetic field sensitivity is 82.69 pm/Oe with magnetic field from 20 Oe to 300 Oe.

    A laser detection platform with an open single path and short optical distance is constructed, and a Levenberg-Marquardt (L-M) algorithm based on linetype is proposed. The method uses second order derivative of Gaussian linetype and Lorenz linetype as the fitting function of L-M algorithm. The samples with oxygen volume fraction of 0%-21% are corrected. The results show that the correlation coefficients of oxygen content and peak is the highest in L-M algorithm correction based on Lorentz linetype (0.9995). The sample with oxygen volume fraction of 1% is measured several times on the basis of Lorentz linetype. Compared with the measured results before and after the correction, the predicted maximum deviations of oxygen volume fraction are 0.38% and 0.22%, respectively, and the root mean square errors of prediction are 0.25% and 0.16%, respectively.

    A nanosecond laser is used to excite the aluminum foil to generate plasma. The aluminum foil is heated and the influences of sample temperature on the intensity and the signal-to-noise ratio of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy are investigated. The diameter of ablation crater is measured, and the relaionship between the crater diameter and the sample temperature is observed. The research results show that the increase in sample temperature leads to the increase in the spectral intensity and the signal-to-noise ratio of two spectral lines of aluminum, the crater diameter also increases with the increase of sample temperature. It is validated that increasing the sample temperature can improve the sensitivity of the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy.

    Taking anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) with different pore diameters as research object,we study the effects of pore size of AAO on the morphological evolution and temperature of laser-induced plasma based on high-speed photography and atomic emission spectroscopy. The light reflectance of samples is tested and simulated by absorption spectroscopy and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method.The results show that within a certain pore range, as the AAO pore size decreases, plasma duration becomes long, the spectral line intensity becomes large, and the plasma electron temperature becomes high. The plasma parameters of AAO are larger than those of polished aluminum sheet, in which electron temperature of plasma of AAO is 2000-3500 K higher than that of polished aluminum sheet. Within a certain pore range, the smaller the AAO pore, the higher absorption coefficient of light in the sample, which explains the reason of AAO plasma enhancement.

    A concise scheme of laser frequency stabilization method is presented, multi-laser frequency are stabilized to wavemeter directly by this method. In order to check the laser frequency stabilization results, we measure the laser frequency by a femtosecond optical comb referenced to a hydrogen clock when the frequency is locked. The results show that the frequency jitter of 548 nm fiber laser frequency which locked to wavemeter is smaller than 1 MHz, and the Allan deviation at 20 s reaches 5×10-11. The frequency stability of tunable diode lasers with wavelength of 397 nm and 866 nm are evaluated with frequency jitter of ±5 MHz and long-term drift rate of smaller than 2 MHz/h.

    GaAs nanowires are treated with Ar plasma, and the effects of the bias power of plasma on the photoluminescence properties of the GaAs nanowires are studied by the photoluminescence test. The source and mechanism of each photoluminescence peak in photoluminescence spectra are studied at different temperatures and different excitation powers. The experimental results show that the free exciton emission of GaAs gradually disappears and the bound exciton emission decreases first and then increases with the increase of the power. When the power increases to 200 W, the donor-acceptor pair (DAP) emission appears. Comparing the photoluminescence spectra of different samples at 283 K, we obtain the structural changes of GaAs nanowires during plasma treatment. When the processing power is low, the Ar plasma eliminates the surface state and introduces a vacancy defect in GaAs; when the processing power is high, the crystal structure of GaAs is destroyed, and the DAP emission appears.
