Rongjie Xu, Ya Bai, Liwei Song, Na Li, Peng Peng, and Peng Liu
The evolution of terahertz (THz) waveform in air plasma driven by low-energy few-cycle laser pulses is investigated to improve the accuracy of the carrier envelope phase (CEP) determination.

Based on the transient photocurrent model, a balanced spatial distribution of the Kerr and free-electron effects in the plasma is found at 109 \mu J input energy. THz inversion occurs only once at the initial CEP of 0.5\pi, in which high-precision measurement of the CEP of few-cycle laser pulses is achieved..

The reflection is greatly reduced by the front grating, whereas the absorption in the long wavelength is increased because of the back grating. The short circuit current of the combined structure is enhanced by 16.8% for a 1-\mu m thick c-Si layer compared with that of the conformal grating structure. The short circuit current can be further increased by creating a relative lateral displacement between the front and back gratings. The displacement results in a more remarkably enhanced absorption when the thickness of the active layer is reduced, indicating its importance in the design of ultra-thin high-efficiency solar cells..

Tunable multi-wavelength microwave photonic filter based on the superposition of transfer functions
Yang Yu, Xiaoping Zheng, Hanyi Zhang, and Bingkun Zhou
A microwave photonic filter (MPF) with reconfigurability and tunability resulting from the superposition of the transfer functions is proposed. Based on the Vernier effect between the optical frequency combs and the periodic optical filters, each comb line can be mapped into a sub-filter in the electronic field. The suA microwave photonic filter (MPF) with reconfigurability and tunability resulting from the superposition of the transfer functions is proposed. Based on the Vernier effect between the optical frequency combs and the periodic optical filters, each comb line can be mapped into a sub-filter in the electronic field. The sub-filters are superposed to obtain the total transfer function of the MPF. By manipulating a few comb lines, we can reconfigure the passband shape, tune the bandwidth, and adjust the center frequency independently. Experiments verify that the bandwidth can be tuned from 224.8 to 674.3 MHz, and that the center frequency ranges from 1 to 4 GHz..

We report a switchable dual-wavelength fiber grating laser in linear overlapping cavity.

Given that the bending loss is inverselyWe report a switchable dual-wavelength fiber grating laser in linear overlapping cavity. The laser features two overlapping cavities sharing a single Yb-doped gain medium fiber and two sets of fiber Bragg gratings. A coiling fiber setup is inserted into the 1035 nm laser cavity. Given that the bending loss is inversely related to the bending radius, the cavity loss of 1035-nm can be modulated. Modulating the bending loss facilitates the switching of the fiber grating laser to a single-or dual-wavelength output at 1030 or 1035 nm and convenient tuning of the power ratio of the two wavelengths. An approximately 152.6-mW output power and up to 38-dB polarization extinction ratio are observed. The simultaneous lasing at 1030 and 1035 nm is a qualified seeder source for amplification to high power scale and can be applied to difference frequency generation of a terahertz signal. This dual-wavelength fiber grating laser is a potential pump source for generating terahertz radiation using a novel approach..

Shen Yang, Hao Sun, Liutong Yuan, Xiaolei Zhang, Libin Zhou, and Manli Hu
A sensing structure consisting of an abrupt taper spliced uniformly in to a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is proposed and experimentally demonstrates refractive index (RI) and temperature measurements. Cladding modes are generated in the fiber through the abrupt taper containing the FBG. Most modes are reflected by the FBGA sensing structure consisting of an abrupt taper spliced uniformly in to a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is proposed and experimentally demonstrates refractive index (RI) and temperature measurements. Cladding modes are generated in the fiber through the abrupt taper containing the FBG. Most modes are reflected by the FBG at shorter wavelengths and reenter the launch fiber after passing through the abrupt taper. Spectral integrals are used to measure the power generated by the cladding and core modes. A sensitivity of -83.97 nW/RIU for ambient RI and a temperature sensitivity of 10 pm/C are obtained. No crosssensitivity problems exist between ambient RI and temperature measurement..

Therefore, a multi-view 3D display with high brightness based on a parallax barrier is proposed. The parallax barrier in the 3D display has a gradient transmittance with enhanced frequency characteristic, which indicates that the aperture ratio of the parallax barrier can be increased, thereby improving brightness. Gradient transmittance is also helpful in reducing crosstalk. A prototype of the 3D display is developed. Experimental result shows that the 3D display has higher brightness than a conventional display. In addition, crosstalk is limited at a low level..

This proThis letter presents an autofocus (AF) method to position a high-magnification microscope lens that automatically captures hundreds of images from a single moving slide. These images are taken by a mobile clinic unit in a rural location, and are later automatically processed and revised by a remote specialist. This process requires high focus precision to enable image processing techniques to achieve proper results. Low focusing times are also required for the system to be operative. We propose a novel method that combines two focus measures with an adapted searching scheme to cope with both constraints..

Ye Yang, Cunzhu Tong, Lijie Wang, Yugang Zeng, Junsheng Cao, Biao Wang, and Lijun Wang
An edge emitting laser with two symmetrical near-circular spots located far field (FF) is demonstrated using tapered double-sided Bragg reflection waveguides (BRWs). The BRWs consist of six pairs of top p-type and bottom n-type Al0.1 Ga0.9 As/Al0.3 Ga0.7As Bragg reflectors with a period thickness of 850 nm. The device An edge emitting laser with two symmetrical near-circular spots located far field (FF) is demonstrated using tapered double-sided Bragg reflection waveguides (BRWs). The BRWs consist of six pairs of top p-type and bottom n-type Al0.1 Ga0.9 As/Al0.3 Ga0.7As Bragg reflectors with a period thickness of 850 nm. The device has a 4o tapered angle configuration and exhibits two stable circular beams with a separation angle of 52o. Typical FF angles of 5.87o and 7.8o in the lateral and vertical directions, respectively, are achieved. The lateral FF angle in the ridged section is independent of the injection current (>0.8 A) because of narrow ridge (~10 \mu m) confinement. By contrast, the FF angle in the tapered section shows an increase rate of 1.2–1.66o/A. The periodic modulation of the lasing wavelength is observed to be sensitive to self-heating effects..

The 555.8-nm laser is obtained by frequency doubling of a 1111.6-nm diode laser through single-passing a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide. The 555.8-nm laser is then locked to a stable high-finesse Fabry–Perot (FP) cavity by the Pound–Drever–Hall (PDH) technique. The finesse of the cavity is measured by the heterodyne cavity ring-down spectroscopy technique. The linewidth of the 555.8-nm laser is investigated. After the laser is locked, the laser line width is reduced to about 3 kHz. This frequency-stabilized 555.8-nm laser is used in experiments on the laser cooling and trapping of ytterbium atoms to develop an ytterbium optical clock..

The strongest emission peak located at 1065.6 nm had a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 2.1 nm. Continuous-wave (CW) laser performance is demonstrated by a compact planar–planar cavity that is endpumped by a diode laser. The laser output characteristics are investigated by using output couplers with different transmissions. A maximum CW output power of 8.09 W was obtained at an incident pump power of 19.4 W, which corresponds to an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 41.7% and a slope efficiency of 54.6%. The dependence of optimum transmission on pump power is calculated theoretically and is found to be consistent with experimental results..

A theory model of spatial and temporal distribution of multimode Qswitched DPSSL pulses is established. The influences of position, initial inversion population density, and mode ratio on pulse width are studied. The results show that the pulse expands in the position wherein two or more mode intensities are equivalent, and the pulse building time difference of the modes are less than one mode pulse width. These results can be applied in pulse compression and mode composition..

Bi3+doping results in the formation of exciton in YAG and the variation in the local environment of the doped rare-earth ions. The enhancement in NIR luminescence is ascribed to the combined effects of the sensitization of exciton!Ce3+ !Er3+ and the Bi3+ doping-induced adjustment of the local environment for Ce3+ and Er3+ ions..

Upon illumination of a 532-nm constant laser, the lateral photovoltage is observed to vary linearly with the laser position between two electrodes on the film surface, and the position sensitivity can be enhanced by coating a layer of graphite on the surface of the BSCO film as a light absorber. Results suggest that the LPV effect in the thin film is independent of the photo-generated carriers but originates from thermoelectric effects. The present work demonstrates a potential application of BSCO films in position-sensitive photo (thermal) detectors..

The removal of speckle noise is fundamental to extract measurement information accurately. In this letter, two filtering methods based on the oriented feature of ESPI fringes, i.e., the second-order oriented partial differential equation (SOOPDE) and oriented, regularized quadratic-cost function filtering methods, are first proven to be consistent. An important question in solving partial differential equation, i.e., how to select suitable parameters in an adaptive manner, is then discussed. The computer-simulated and experimentally obtained ESPI fringe patterns and phase map are processed by the SOOPDE filtering model with adaptive selective parameters. The qualitative and quantitative analyses demonstrate that the parameters selected by the adaptive method are effective and suitable for the SOOPDE filtering model..
