In response to the challenges faced by traditional microscopy systems, which require multiple imaging and the use of image stitching techniques when covering large-area pathological slices, a large-field zoom microscope optical system has been designed. By ingeniously combining a large-field microscope objective and a zoom tube lens, this system achieves a single imaging of pathological slices, thereby obtaining complete information about the slices. By adjusting the magnification of the zoom tube lens system, it is possible to observe suspected lesion tissues in detail.

Compared to radio frequency communication, optical communication can maintain higher transmission rates and more reliable channel modes. However, there are also some issues with optical communication technology, such as line-of-sight issues, where optical communication cannot proceed normally when there are obstacles between the sending and receiving ends. A photoelectric integrated antenna has been designed to address the above issues, which can simultaneously perform millimeter wave communication and optical communication. When optical communication cannot function properly, the millimeter wave antenna can work, thus compensating for the line-of-sight defect in optical communication. The main material used in the design is K9 glass. By utilizing the different physical properties of K9 glass in different frequency bands, designing appropriate lens shapes and scaling the lenses, K9 glass can achieve different forms of communication work in the millimeter wave communication frequency band and optical communication frequency band. When K9 glass is used as a dielectric resonator, millimeter wave communication is achieved; When used as a lens, it can focus the light beam and achieve optical communication. The millimeter wave antenna is fed by a coplanar waveguide, and a patch type LED light source is placed below the center of the dielectric resonator through slotting technology. This optoelectronic integrated antenna integrates the optical wave communication system and the millimeter wave communication system on a single metal aluminum plate, enabling two types of communication simultaneously without interfering with each other. The simulation results show that the operating frequency of the millimeter wave antenna is between 32.5GHz and 33.4GHz, and the gain within the frequency band is stable. The peak gain of a single dielectric resonator can reach 5.4dBi. After adding the lens, the optical power at the receiving end is significantly increased, thereby improving the transmission rate of optical communication.

To reduce signal crosstalk and bending loss in few-mode fibers while increasing the effective mode field area, a few-mode fiber with a ring core and lateral hole auxiliary structure was designed. Theoretical analysis of the effective refractive index distribution, bending loss, and effective mode field area of this fiber was conducted. Using the finite element method, the impact of fiber parameters on the minimum effective refractive index difference between adjacent LP modes, mode field area, and bending loss was calculated. The minimum effective refractive index difference between modes can reach 1.7×10-3, and the mode field area for all modes is greater than 106m2. When the bending radius is 28mm, the maximum bending loss for each mode is only 10-11dB/m. This structure features a large mode field area, low inter-mode crosstalk, and better bending resistance, extending the research ideas for space-division multiplexing.

There are many coupling loss factors between optical devices and input/output fibers, mainly including temperature, stress, mode field mismatch, etc., which cause additional losses. The Multimode Star Coupler (MSC) module in the optical control converter valve of the power system is considered as an example with simplified quantitative analysis, it is found that the influence of thermal expansion on the coupling loss between the fiber array and the waveguide array can be ignored. Based on waveguide theory and mode coupling theory, the influence of input and output waveguide structure of MSC module on coupling performance was analyzed using numerical calculation methods-the mode field area and mode mismatch between waveguide and fiber caused significant coupling losses. Therefore, an inverted taper structure, transforming the mode field size and reducing the mode mismatch between the waveguide and the fiber, is optimized to minimize the coupling loss between the waveguide and the fiber.
In order to improve the efficiency of laser surgery and reduce the damage to surrounding healthy tissues during laser surgery, the influence of the peak power of pulsed holmium laser and continuous thulium laser power on the thermal effect of soft tissues was explored. Build an in vitro model device to find the optimal parameters for laser ablation of tissue, the pulsed holmium laser power is 20W, 40W, 60W, 80W, the pulse duration is 200s and 800s, and the pulse energy is 1J, 2J, 4J. The continuous thulium laser power is 20W, 40W, 60W, 80W, 100W, 110W. Finally, the in vitro model was placed in physiological saline and kept at a constant room temperature for experiments. The damaged tissue after laser ablation was sliced and stained, and pathological slices were analyzed. The peak pulse power has a great influence on the ablation zone of soft tissue. The ablation depth of the laser combination with the pulse energy of 4J×10Hz is 111.82% higher than that of the laser combination with the pulse energy of 1J×40Hz, while the effect on the solidification zone is only 9.96%. Pulse duration had little effect on soft tissue, and ablation depth was increased by 18.49% with shorter pulse width. The ablation depth of tissue increases with the increase of the power of continuous thulium laser, and the ablation efficiency is correspondingly increased, and the hot solidification zone is almost unaffected. The ablation efficiency of 100W is nearly 88.26% higher than that of 20W.
Super multi-view (SMV) three-dimensional (3D) display can offer immersive 3D viewing effects, but the rendering and synthesis process of massive viewpoint images poses significant challenges to real-time performance. In this paper, a real-time rendering method of backward ray tracing in SMV display is proposed. According to viewpoint allocation matrices and sub-pixel physical coordinates, rays are traced backward from viewpoint positions to 3D scenes, enabling real-time rendering directly on the synthetic image at the sub-pixel level. The results indicate that while maintaining consistent display quality, the rendering frame rate remains above 35 FPS even with an increasing number of viewpoints. The proposed method avoids information redundancy in the rendering synthesis process, achieving a rendering speed improvement of 5 orders of magnitude compared to traditional sequential viewpoint rendering methods. Thus, it provides a promising avenue for achieving super multi-view dynamic 3D display.
Distributed interferometric antenna arrays leverage simultaneous multi-antenna receptions to enhance detection sensitivity. Before phase-coherent signal combination for Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) improvement, it is essential to accurately detect and compensate for time and frequency differences among the signals. The accuracy of frequency difference estimation at the receivers is inherently limited by the spectral leakage and grating lobe artifacts of the Fourier transform. This work proposes a method for optimizing the window function length in frequency difference estimation, reducing the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) from 1kHz to under 30Hz in low SNR conditions. The algorithm's validity and superiority are demonstrated through the coherent combination of four signals, achieving an SNR improvement of 5.79dB (close to the theoretical gain of 6dB).

In the mid- and far-infrared wavelength bands, it is relatively difficult to measure the homogeneity of materials because infrared materials are unable to transmit visible light; however, in recent years, the demand for the processing accuracy of infrared materials has become increasingly high, and thus the realization of an accurate measurement of the homogeneity of infrared materials is imminent.Among the current detection means, interferometry is widely used as a non-contact and high-precision detection means. The non-uniformity of infrared materials was measured, and a mid-infrared interferometer with a wavelength of 3390nm was used for the experiments. The precision and accuracy of the present interferometer are verified by measuring the same element by transmission method and verifying the results by flip-flop method. Meanwhile, a comparison experiment was carried out between the present interferometer and the Zygo interferometer on the element made of fused silica, and the results showed that the measurement accuracy of the present interferometer can meet the requirements. This study provides an important reference for the accurate measurement of non-uniformity of infrared materials, which has certain theoretical and practical significance.

The article investigates the feasibility of using near-infrared diffuse reflectance imaging for early caries detection. The feasibility of using near-infrared diffuse reflectance imaging for early caries detection is investigated. Based on the theory of diffuse reflectance imaging in tissue optics and building upon previous research, we developed a near-infrared diffuse reflectance imaging system using 780nm wavelength LED illumination, named NIRCaries 780.To confirm the performance of NIRCaries 780,54 tooth surfaces were examined using both NIRCaries 780 and DIAGNOcam. Caries lesions were assessed by experienced dentists according to the ICDAS Ⅱ criteria. The performance of NIRCaries 780 was evaluated using the Spearman rank correlation coefficient. Compared to the ICDAS Ⅱ standard, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of NIRCaries 780 were 0.806, 0.870, and 0.833, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of DIAGNOcam were 0.871, 0.913, and 0.889, respectively. This technique, compared to DIAGNOcam, is simple to use, non-contact, and feasible for indicating early enamel caries. Future research will combine near-infrared diffuse reflectance imaging with automatic classification algorithms to provide technical means for home oral health care and caries prevention.
OFDR is prone to phase noise during long distance and large strain sensing, which makes the strain sensing accuracy poor or unable to restore the real strain change. The cross correlation spectrum moving average method is used to process the original cross correlation spectrum of OFDR to improve the accuracy of strain sensing.

The experimental results show that when the sweep frequency range is 60nm and the average sliding block size is 1×10, the strain sensing with a spatial resolution of 1.33cm and a maximum value of 4000 can be achieved in the 103.8m fiber under test, and the standard deviation of wavelength offset in the strain region is significantly reduced. It is proved that the cross-correlation spectrum moving average method can effectively improve the strain demodulation precision of OFDR system.

In the manufacturing industry, the flatness error of some components has reached the order of tens of micrometers, exceeding the measurement range of traditional interferometers. To solve this problem, a large angle grazing incidence interferometry measurement method can be used, such as the prism method with variable inclination angle and small gap phase shift interferometry. To solve the problem of high surface reflectivity under large angle grazing incidence, which forms multi beam interference and increases the difficulty of phase extraction, two methods are proposed: reducing multi beam interference through reflectivity control film system and eliminating multi beam interference through dynamic film system. By analyzing the system using admittance matrix and simulating the incident angle of 83 ° using Matlab, when the reflectivity of the right angled prism chord is controlled at 10%, the error in phase shift calculation caused by multi beam interference will be reduced to around 7.2nm. Finally, the dynamic film design and actual equipment that can completely eliminate multi beam interference were introduced.
